trouble. however. is that the former

pose Of showing Il larger proportion of
the colored vote than actually existed.
There has ever been. until the last
Jew years, Il desire on tile part Of the
Republican Party. to make it appear
that the colored people were a majority
OF the citizens Of the Southern States.
hence there has eve been as large a
proportion of negroes as was calculated

The white race increases faster by

The death rate of the African is greater
than that of the Caucasian, and immi-
strengthens only the white race.
There is nothing improbable in the
statistical facts thus far developed by
returns ofthe census as published,
% cause any extraordinary astonish-
nent to a candid observer.

Thirty or forty years ago two bows

city OF New Orleans. They grew and
prospered as other boys of their kind

the service of the union-one as a

and has Supported himself and family
by doing odd jobs. Recently the
brother. Eugene Lewis, also came 70
Newport, and, strange to say, hired a
tenement in the house of his long lost
aud unknown brother.
The two went in and out ofthe same
door daily for months, until one day a
nelghbor suggested to Lewis that
Michel was also born in New Orleans.
ana the two ought to become better
acquainted
Lewis saw no reason in that fact why
ne should trouble himself, as New
orleans was a big place and many
children besides himself we're born
there. However, y day he did
speak to Mitchell and mentioned the
coincidence of the same place of
nativity. Each asked the other if he
knew certain people there and when

Csssius NJ. Clay's Hoax.

A New York Times correspondent at
New Haven gives some Interesting
"reminiscences told by Captain Elizur
Thompson, the venerable keeper OF
the light house at the entrance of New
Haven harbor. One of the stories
which the captain ever delights in tell
ing to visitors, says the correspondent,
and there are thousands who have
heard 1T, is in regard to a hoax that
Cassius NJ. Clay perpetrated on the
people OF New Haven when he was a
student at Yale. Clay, like a majority
OF Inc students at that time, was fond
OF spending his leisure hours at Kemp
q Hardy's restaurant, close to the light
house, where shore dinners and excel
lent liquors We're dispensed. One dav
the proprietors of the restaurant COM
pialhed that trade was dull, and in
response the future statesman inquired
why the place was not better adver-
used. The discussion of the matter
resulted in Clay's determination TO
show what could be done by calling
the attention Of the public to the shore
resort.
Accordingly, on the following day.
the people of New Haven were aston
ished to see in the papers the account
OF a capture of an immense whale in
the harbor-so large a whale, indeed.
that twenty pairs of oxen were required
to haul it up OH the shore at the old
light house. The report was printed
IN good faith by the papers and had
all the appearance of a truthful ac-
count. There was no lack of visitors
TO the light house then. Telephones
mad rot been invented and there was
no immediate way of learning that the
story was a hoax. Crowds fastened
to the shore TO see the captured mon
ster, and when there found nothing to
but to regale themselves at the
restaurant. Those who returned ear'y
the city were 10th to tell how they
had beer fooled, and many Of them
related stories about the whale that
far beyond the invention of Young
clay. 1t was several days before the
real facts were established and the
crowds ceased to c~Ongregate at the
light house. The restaurant men made
! small fortune and Clay thereafter
lad the complete freedom of the place.

At Anderson, Ind, recently an ex-
pertinent was tried in the way of
threshing a stick of dynamite. AS far
as the yield of mortality and pieces are
concerned it was a complete success.
The stick was in some way fed into

course of the grain, exploding killing
three nIen and two teams. The pieces
of the threshnng machine are still
scattered over several States.-Ex.

One fnds amusing reading matter il

learns something instructive, especially
in the supremacy simple and honorable
way in which the money is wormed
ont of tile national treasury.

1898. IN commemmoration OF the fouI
hund:edth anniversary of the discovery
OF America By Christopher Columbus
A committee of discreet honorable
gentlemen We're appointed, who would
carefully guard the interests of the
government, and take care that the
funds thus set aside would be ecOnom-
lcally and properly used in advancing
the intentions of Congress, in making
the exhibition a grand success.
This committee has met and the
first thing it did was to create a large
number of salaried officers, paving
them from 100000 to s15, 100000 each
per year, salaries that are far be-
yond the allowances paid to similar
positions in Washington City. A type
writer that could be had anywhere for
$4,000 per month, is paid 500. Thou
sand dollar clerks are allowed S2OOO.O 90
and so on all the way through, show
ing that the committee is under the
impression that they are obligated to
get that million and a half dollars into
their own pockets and that very speed
lily. Congress. however, has Justly
to appropriate the funds to paw
such salaries.

One day last week Senator Allison
was at IN agricultural fair at Creston,
Ia, and by invitation he addressed the
farmers at an impromptu meeting.
Besides other pleasant talk, Mr.. Allison
intimated that the farming interest
would be "protected' by a tariff on
Canadian agricultural products. The
very next speaker, a local farmer.
asked the audience to consider the
fact that the price of Canadian as we'll
as American wheat is fixed in Liver
pool, and that while an American gets
about 20 cents a bushel for his wheat.
with which he can buy seven pounds
Of sugar, the English farmer gets 81. O5

twenty-one pounds Of sugar. The
cheers of the audience were all for the
local farmer, and Senator Allison was
observed to be very much crest-fallen.

Gen. Sherman was once a citizen Of

Commodore David B. Porter II.
senior officer of the United States NAVY
died last week in Washington City.
he was a conspicuous naval officer dur-

last n of the leading sea captains of
that period. He commanded the fleet
that went up Red River in 1864, and If
was under his command that the ia.

that stream at Alexandria, over which
his ships were passed, that were caught

At the time of its organisation. the
Pontchartlain Ieyee board. or the
members thereof, showed that their
motto, as an official body, was not to
be economy, BY fixing high salaries.
when the services of as competent
persons could be secured at lower
fl@ures; but that was not destined to
be the end of it, for the Board has now
allowed itself the luxury of a resident
engineer, at an expense TO the district
OF 9l30 per month. 1t would be
ditllcuIt indeed to conceive the neces-
slty Of the creation of such an Office or
the benefit that the district viii derive
from the expenditure Of this amount.
We could look with satisfaction unon
acts Of this kind for they IAN but tend
TO cause the repeal or amendment of
this obnoxious law by the next lerisla-
ture, were it not for the fact that such
lavish expenditure of money is liable
to cause a necessity for the issuance OF
bonds, which would be a hardship on
Us Tor years to come. And now we
ask, What next? What new fad will
come over our levee authorities? The
creation Of the Office Of resident euai-
neer Will probably not be the end.-Ex.
