Does not Mr. Willey's attitude explain
why he refused to accept the concurring
vote of Mr.. Lawson, the Democratic COM
missioner? His last act proves him traitor
to the colored people.
DEAD LIONS AND LIVE OURS.
1t is not the insignificant lion skin,
Bourbon Democratic "ass" of ye olden
times, who occasionally vomits contempti.
Bile opposition against the negro's rights in
this land made holy by Afro American
sweat and blood, that terrorizcs intelligent
negroes. But il is these modern Republi-
can ours. They are deceptive, false and
rotten to the core. They ignore the
negro by manipulating cowardly tricks
that speak only through heinons' actions
invisible to the wofully credulent negro
masses, An open enemy is better than a
false friend.
THE POWER OF TRAMPs.
They admit investing 81, 800. 16
in hard cash for 5000 tax receipts. These
receipts were placed in the hands of re-
sponsble men who bum and tramp out
miserable existence. Fully S200,O0O will
be reaped In return by spoils from officers
turned over to the bosses by their plans
They pay no colored mans tax who is re-
sponsible for his citizenship. Neither do
they extend their debauching means of
charity toward owners oil real estate
1t is obvious these cheeky bosses care
nothing for the manhood of respectable
colored men so long as they are permitted
to manipulate the degraded element, whose
price ranges from drink of rum up. We
most earnestly urge permanent iniunc-
ton restricting these cursed demagogues
from repeating their dose in '92. Colored
men begin to learn that Republican VIC
tory does not mean the promotion of our
interests We will rejoice if some means
can be brought to bear restricting these
bosses from voting negro buns and tramps
and thus insulting the whole negro race

A Doctors Blunder.

A certain well-known German
physician of st. Louis was the vic
tim of his own "previousness" the
other day. He had successfully
treated wealthy lady's daughter
for diphtheria, and the lady was
extremely grateful for it. When
the child was thoroughly we'll moth
er and daughter appeared at the
physicians Office. The little girl
shyly handed the physician neat
little knit purse, while the lady
went on to say: ''For having saved
my child, doctor, / want to present
you with this purse"
"But," said the physician, after
an embarrassing pause, II have sent
you a bill for $780,"
The lady flushed, then said, qui!,,
city, "Let me have the purse.please."
She took two 500 bills out of 1t
and returned it to him with the re-
mark: "There are $500 in there
now, SO your bill is paid" and left
the room.
Now the doctor is cursing his
clumsy tongue for the break it made.
That little speech cost him just

Story of q Churn Dog.

rugged up dog churn, an inclined
wheel, a sort of canine treadmill.
1t became the duty of Ponto, large
white mastiff, to tread that mon
strous cycle, and Notwithstanding
the toothsome bit of meat that was
fastened on a lath within four in
ches of his nose, he was not at all
proud of his position and response
bility. He made several attempts
to shirk his task, and twice sue
ceeded. Hegot to know when churn-
ing day came around as we'll as any
one in the house.
On the morning of that day he
would loiter about the kitchen door
until he was fed, and as soon as he
heard the note of preparation-the
bringing of the cream jugs, prepar-
ing the churn, etc.-he would put
for the woods and would not be
seen again until night. The day
of churning was changed, and next
morning a more crestfallen and as
tonished dog was never seen when
he was collared and harnessed TO
the beam which set the dash in mo-
ton; he looked positively foolish.
He did his work, but with lowered
head, and in cogitation evidently.
On another occasion he tried an
other dodge. When they were about
to put him on the wheel he ran up
to his mistress, holding up one paw
affecting to be lame. She thought
much of the dog, and was inclined
to let him off that dag. The nert
instant he was seen charging over
high fence after neighbor's cat.
"Well," said the old lady, if he can
go after cat like that he is able to
churn.' And he did, and never tried
to shirk his work again. Forest

A Walking Beehive.

A tall man with bushy black
whiskers, entered the Cardillac yes
terday afternoon, and willie he was
registering placed a long, narrow
valise on the counter. A spring in
the valise seemed to have given
away and little door at the side
suddenly flew open, disclosing to
the eyes ofthe bystanders thousands
of bees working in and out of a
honeycomb. There was a small
stampede among those standing
about the counter at first, but all
fears were allayed when the tall
stranger explained that they would
not get out and would not do any
harm if they did. He then deliv-
cred short lecture upon the bee
and its habits that proved very in
teresting and drew quite a crowd
for a few minutes. He said his
name was J. F. Michael and that
he was from German, O., where he
has a large bee farm. He is here
visiting the exposition, and brought
his boxful Of fine Italians that he
might compare notes with some of
the exhibitors. When some asked
him if he could show the queen to
him Mr.. Michael dived into a ca
pacious pocket and produced a
handful of little boxes, each of
which contained half dozen COM
mon bees and q queen.
"Great guns, man, exclaimed a
travelling man, "are you a walking
beehive?"
"Oh, no." he responded, "by no
means. These are just few of my
pets that l carry around to show
the people. You see each one Of
these little boxes has queen in it.
They are somewhat particular as to
their society, and l put these other
fellows in to keep hem company"
Don't they never get loose and
run amuck over your person?"
Sometimes, but few stings
more or less don't make much diff
ference. But you must excuse me,
gentlemen, l have to give them
their dinner" and he snapped the
satchel shut and left for his room.

LIFE IN INDIA.
An Incident that Shows the Complete
Possession of 06cer1.

II was in India. Dinner was just
finished in the mess-room, and sew
eral English officers were sitting
about the table. Their bronzed
faces had the set, but not unkindiy,
look common among military men.
The conversation, at best, had not
been animated, and just now there
was a lull, as the night was too hot
for small talk. The major of the
regiment, clean-cut man of fifty
five, turned toward his next neigh
Dor at the table, young subaltern,
who was leaning back in his chair
with his hands ciasped behind his
head, staring through the cigar
smoke at the ceiling.
The major was slowly looking the
man over, from his handsome face
down, when, with sudden alertness
and in quiet, steady voice, he said:
Don't move, please, Mr.. .Carruthers.
l want to try an experiment with
you. Don't move a muscle" "Au
right, major" replied the subaltern,
without even turning his eyes
"hadn't the least idea of moving, I
assure you. What's the gamer
By this time, all the others were
listening in lazily expectant way.
"Do you Think" continued the
major, and his voice trembled just
little, ''do you think you can keep
absolutely still for, say, two minutes
to save your life?' "Are you
joking?" ''On the contrary, move
a muscle and you are dead man.
Can you stand the strain?" The
subaltern barely whispered eyes"
and his face paled slightly. Burke"
said the major, addressing an officer
across the table, "pour some of that
milk into a saucer and set it on the
floor here just back of me. Gently,
man! Quiet !"
Not word was spoken as the
officer quietly filled the saucer,
walked with it quietly around the
table and set it down where the ma
jor had indicated on the floor. Like
marble statue sat the young sub
altern in his white linen clothes,
while a cobra de capello, which had
been crawling up the leg Of his
trousers. slowly raised its head,
then turned, descended to the floor,
and glided towards the milk.
Suddenly the silence was broken
by the report of the majors revol-
yer, and the snake lay dead on the
floor. Thank you, MAJOR" said
the subaltern, as the two men shook
hands warmly. "You have saved
my life" " You're welcome my boy"
replied the senior, "but you did
your share. IS. F. Argonaut.

long before he traced the mischie,
to little bird, which he managed
to capture, and was about to Kill

II would like to put an end to

he opened his hand to give the bird
more air.
Attention !"cried the bird. "Here
are three notices which should
guide you through life: do not cry
over split milk; do not desire wha,
is unattainable; do not believe what
is impossible"
The man was satisfied with the
advice and he let the bird escape
but it had scarcely regained its lib.

site, it exclaimed:
"What silly man! The idea ol
letting me escape! If you only

"What have I lost?" the man
asked, angrily.
"Why, if you had killed me, you
would have found inside of me, a
huge pearl as large as goose's egg
and you would have been wealthy

"Dear little bird" the man said
in his kindest tones, "sweet little
bird, | will not harm you. Come
down to me, and | will treat you as
if you were my child, and give you

But the bird replied: "What 9

A Real Estate Scheme.

It was rumored at certain New
Jersey seaside resort week or two
ago that famous comic opera pri-
ma donna had decided to spend her
vacation there. When this came to
the ears of the local real estate own
ers they determined that her pres
ence should be used to advertise
the place. A meeting was called
and they came to the conclusion
that the report must be widely cir
culated that the beautiful lady
would be on view for several months.
Three of the committee were elected
to wait upon the actress before ad-
vertising her, and ask if she had
any objection to the scheme.
Dressed in their Sunday clothes,
the trio proceeded to New York the
next morning and presented them
selves before the lady.
"Msdam, or-er-rathcr, Maddymy-
SELL" the leader remarked. 1--WE come
here this morning to say that we are
proud of living in the salubrious section
of New Jersey where you propose to pass
the summer. We congratulate you on
getting house that is in perfect order,
in which there is no defect in the plumb
ing and the owner IS an honest man. We
think you will like our beach, and we
shall al! do what we can to make you
comfortable. What we came particularly y
for this morning is to ask favor of you.
We want to ask you if in the prospectus
we send out, and the advertisements we
put in the papers, we can say that you
will-ahem-go in bathing every morn
ing at a stated hour2"
The actress very solemnly in
formed them that she would do that
if they paid her salary and built
a bathing pavilion for her and
charged an admission to the public.
Upon their return home they de-
cided to accept her terms and noti-
fed her accordingly. To this she
replied as follows:
Gentlemen: find that after all
/ shall not be able to accept your
kind offer. l have just learned that
it will be necessary to have my lower
limbs amputated this summer, and
in that event you will readily see
should be a poor attraction as a
water nymph. Accept my thanks
for your offer and please do not ad-
vertise me in your prospectus. The
fact is, to speak frankly, l am going
to your place because l have heard
there are more mosquitoes there
than in any other part of New Jer-
sey, and l propose to allow myself
to be bitten all over, as have
learned it is excellent for the COM
plexion, removing the bad blood
from the surfaces. l also intend
to wrap myself in woolens when l
go out in order to perspire some of
my superfluous flesh off; so, taken
altogether, without legs, and the
other half of me covered with mos
quito bites, am not going to be as
beautiful as my Autographs make
me-"
The schemers are, of course,
greatly disappointed at such turn
of affairs, and up to the time of
writing have hit upon no fresh
scheme to boom their real estate
