j. S. Clarkson, vice-C Chairman of
The Republican National Commit.
tee and recently Assistant Post
master General, gave out this batch
OF untruths to a reporter of the
New York Prose:
The South is covered over with
force billss if the Northern voter
could read the infamous laws, Of
Virginia and Maryland, and, in
deed, Of nearly all the Southern
States, and could see how they put
into the hands of the Democrats al
the State capitol the selection of
the election officers, they would
laugh AT this ,hypocritical cry OF
the Democrats in denouncing this
national measure Ms q force bill.
Nowhere in the South are the vot-
ers allowed to gather in their
neighborhoods and choose their
own officers TO take charge OF
elections. They are not even al.
lowed in most of the States 70
elect their local officers, but all are
appointed from the State capital.
Such Capitalization rs IL shown i'm
the South in assuming the power
10 select all officers OF local cleo.
tons, and 10 most States 10 select
all local officers also, has never
been known in q free government.
IL The real enormi,y Of the election
laws in erSouthern States were
known there would be a demand
for the passage of The elections
bill, for the safety Of the Republic
would appear In danger.

THE NEW BALLAST Law.

At a recent meeting of the
Board of Pilot Commissioners, II
was resolved that all ballast taken
from ships in P~ascagouls bay
should be brought in the river and
deposited on the east bank, at any
point south of the L. & N. Il. r.
bridge and north of the mouth OF
the Pascagoula river. This order
may have some good in il, but we
fear it will work more harm than
good. Under the present law it
will increase the expenses of YES
sells coming into this port with bal
last from one hundred to one hun.
dred and fifty per cent. What will
be the resultg Why, all vessels
will be driven out of the bay to
hunt a cheaper place, and it would
not surprise us to SCI some of
those already in port go out. The
major portion of the vessels con-
signed to merchants here are char
tered under what is commonly
known as the $1.25 clause, with
which the merchants are supposed
to pay the ships expenses. But
under the present order it will
take that amount to unload the
ballast, and we may, therefore,
look for a general kick by vessels,
merchants, and ballast men, and
when the ships are gone, by the
community at large.
1t has always been the boast of
our port that we could, and did
Dad vessels for less money than
anywhere else on the gulf, but
whether We can make good the
BOAST, under the present regula-
ions, remains to be seen.
1t is lamentably true that some
men who have been work
ng in the bay have been very
'areless in dumping their ballast
n proper places, and those men
be locked after and pun
shed, but we fear the present or
Ter will do more harm than good.

Arm Bands and Enrrinra.

Among the Kaffirs, and in the west OF
Africa as well, a plain ivory arm ring, in a
single piece, is in common use. Such are
easily made. The tusk of the elephant is
hollow save near the small end. Toward
the larger end the ivory sheath is thin and
irregular, but it thickens and becomes
solid toward the tip. All that is necessary
to make arm bands is to remove the soft,
vascular inner part and then to cut the
ivory into cross sections, two or three inches
wide. The rings thus made vary, of course,
in size. After being cut they are carefully
polished
With such rings the whole arm from
wrist to elbow is often covered Schwein-
furth describes pretty ornament of metal
rings-the dagobar-as in use among White
Nile tribes. The individual rings are of
iron and are narrow and neatly made.
They are worn so closely together upon the
arm as to make continuous metal sheath
ing. Very curious are the arm coils from
Bouka Bay, New Guinea, which consist of
one spiral strip of bark.
Earrings are found in all times and
among almost every people. They range
in size, material and elegance from the
brilliant solitaire in gold setting, worn by
our ladies, to the bird skins worn in the
ears in New Zealand or the immense orna-
ments of shell with carved ivory inlaying
from New Guinea. King Munza's sister
begged lead bullets from Schweinfurth
and hammered from them bright earrings
From New Zealand come very pretty ear
rings of green jade in the shape of sharks
teeth. Professor Frederick Starr in Popu-
lar Science Monthly,

Fat possum, which no skinned and pre-.
pared for cooking on Christmas day
When all was ready he went into his
cabin, took his prize out Of the locker
and soon had it roasting on the spit.
Some sweet potatoes were added to the
menu, and old Toms eyes fairly rolled
with delight as he thought of the feast
in store for him.
"The prospect before him evidently
caused Tom to feel drowsy, for in a few
minutes Tom was sound asleep and snor.
ing at great rate. Through a chink in
the cabin a pair Of eager, envious eyes
had been taking in the scene. The eyes
belonged to another Niger Of mine
named Big jim Well, the sight was
more than Jim could stand. The cabin
door was slyly opened, and in Jim
staIked. 'Ump said he as neared the
fire. The 'possum was just about done
and to a turn. 'Ump said Jim again as
he jabbed stick into the animal and
held it up before him. With many
grunts of satisfaction Jim soon had that
'possun picked clean, nor did he forget
the sweet potatoes, which, favored with
the possum fat, were devoured with the
keenest relish.
"The meal over, Jim approached the
sleeper, and taking up some of the pos
sum bones he smeared old Toms lips and
face with them and then hurried out.
Very soon Tom awoke. In stupefed
way he looked around him, saw the
bones and potato skins lying about and
smacked his lips as he tasted of the pos
sum fat with which Jim had smeared
his face.
Dunno said Tom, in great Devil

ADuLTERATED FLOUR.


Food by Merccnary Russians.

number of people. The consignment
comprised 100000 pools (,,SOO, 600 En-
glish pounds of barley flour, which
had been purchased from dealers in
Libau, with the view to regulating the
price of wheat in st. Petersburg market,
as well as to afford relief to famine suf-

the entire consignment had been adul-
terated with chalk dust and other sub
stances. To make certain of the nature
of the adulterants employed the govern

called flour subjected 10 a chemical

This disclosed the fact chat several
substances had been used for adulterat-

would havo constituted a very danger
