General Zoe Johnston Dead.

ASHlNGTON, March 23.-General
Joseph +. Johnston died shortly after
IL O'Clock Saturday night.
The general had been suffering the
past three weeks with an affection of
the heart, aggravated by cold caught
at General Sherman's funeral. His
physician has been trying to keep up
his strength for several days, but his
advanced age has given but little hope
from the beginning.
The general did not suffer in the
| least and was conscious to the last.
| The immediate cause of his death was
heart failure, the result of degenera-
ton of the heart, due in measure to
cold. At times for about two years
General Johnston has shown unmis-
taxable signs OF general breaking
down. His mind often became bewii-
dered so that he could not tell where
he was or how he came there. At the
beginning of his last attack of illness
DR.. Lincoln was summoned and sue
ceeded with much difficulty in arrest
ing the progress of the disease for a
time. Prior to a week ago Saturday
the general seemed to be improving,
but on that day he went down stairs
without assistance, overexerting him
self. Since then he has continued to
grow worse until about6 o'clock in the
evening of Saturday last, when the
doctor found him perfectly comforta-
BILE and apparently a little better
There was no warning that tho end
was so near. Governor McLane of
Maryland entered the room little af-
terri l l o'clock, and as he approached
the bed he heard an almost inaudible
sigh, and General Johnston was dead.
The funeral services will be held in
this city and interment takes place in
Baltimore.

Colored Editors Call on the Pres dent.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-The COM
mite appointed to the recent conven-
ton OF the Afro-American Press asso-
citation called upon President Harrison
and presented an address urging the
appointment of colored man on the
worlds fair commission, and ''also u
capable negro juror to fill a place on
the bench of the federal judiciary.
The address says in part: .Our na-
tional progress has been rapid in all
directions. Many millions in money are
the value of products OF negro labor;
the wealth OF many great states has
been created by his toll, and the sta
pies OF vast region of the republic
which load our chambers, bless our Ia
bles and furnish material for factories
to work are the results of patience and
the industry of the class in whose be-
half we speak. Believing in yonr sim
cere desire to extend impartial treat
ment to all classes, we invite your
excellency to consider the propriety of
placing some one OF this class, SO Pc
culiarly illustrative of the nations
progress in representative and prom
inent position in connection with the
worlds fair. In many states OF the
union as we'll as in our national con-
gress the legal status of the American
negro is still a matter of serious dis
cussion and legislation. That he may
be clothed with power to speak for
himself with authority, that the old
time idea of fair play may prevail,
which grants to the peers OF the ac-
cused the right to voice in Judgment
we beseech that you will consider the
merits OF number of able jurists who
belong to the people wc represent in
the judicial appointments which we
understand will be made in the near
future"
The president in response said that
SO far as a position on the worlds fair
commission was concerned there were
no vacancies, and if one were to occur
the alternate would fill the place. If
it became possible. however, to do any
thing and a proper man was presented
he would make the appointment
Speaking with reference to the request
that colored man be appointed to tho
bench, the president asked if the dele
CATION had a man who was thoroughly
versed in law and had arrived at that
eminence in practice which would en-
title him to fill an appointment as cir
cult judge. present the name of IL

will give it that consideration which
its Importance demands
When the committee told the presi-
dent that there were number of that
class among the race whose names
would be presented to him with the
endorsement OF the bar in the state in
which they practiced he advised that
their names be sent in and promised
to consider them impartially.
The interview was very pleasant the
president inviting the committee to call
again, and thanking the negro press
convention for the kindly remem-
brances of his endeavors to act fairly
with the race.

Behavior mt Table.

Keep your mouth closed when eating.
Never play with food, nor mince your
bread, nor handle your knife and fork or
the glass or silver near you unnecessar-
lily. If tishbone, etc., should mad
vertently get into the mouth, the lips
must be covered with the napkin while
removing it. Never pick your teeth at
the table. Do not put large pieces of
food in your mouth; if you are addressed
when your mouth is so filed, you are
obliged to pause before answering until
the vast mouthful is masticated, or run
the risk of choking by swallowing it too
hastily. To eat very fast is mark of
greatness, and should be avoided.
Never soak up gravy with bread or
scrape your plate. Never, IL possible,
cough or sneeze at the table. Do not
lean back in your chair.
The hostess or host should not insist
upon guests partaling of particular
dishes, nor ask persons more than once,
nor put anything on their plates which
they have declined. 1t is ill bred to urge
a person to eat anything after he has de-
clined. A half ladleful of soup is enough
to serve, unless it is a country dinner,
where full ladleful may be given; but
do not fill the soup plate. Avoid the
appearance of self engrossment when
eating, unless you wish to be considered
entirely devoted to your food. Never
overload the plate of a guest or any
person you would serve. If you are to
serve anything of which the supply is
limited, use discretion that all may en-
joy some of it.-Mrs. s. II. Snider in
Housekeepers' Weekly.

charaeteristIes Of one uruguayan..


The whole Banda Oriental and its in
habitants strike one as being more re-
fined, more amiable and more gentle
than the land and people of the sister re-
public. Nevertheless, in the country
everything is very primitive, and one is
astounded at the rough way in which
many of the rich estancieros live on their
estates in the simplest and most comfort
less houses. These men own leagues and
leagues of land, and they live like the
patriarchs of old-with two or three gen.
erations Of children under the same roof
and eating at the same table--in the old
fashioned creole way. Such men, as may
be imagined, are not progressive; they
continue their pastoral industry in an in
dolent, apathetic manner, leaving to ma
ture almost everything except the opera
ton of selling and receiving the money:
and, above all, they cannot be persuaded
to subdivide their lands and let them out
for farming.
Uruguay is being kept back chiefly by
the conservativeness Of the creole land
holders, who possess immense estates that
are inadequately developed. The law Of
inheritance and the obligatory subdivis-
ion of property among the heirs win
modify this state of affairs in the course
of time, and these vast holdings will be
gradually broken up and developed in
detail. The process, however, will nee
essarily be slow, and meanwhile, as the
state owns no lands, the increase Of i'm
migration can only be slow in proper
tion.-Theodore Childin Harpers.

Properties Of Aluminium.

Before dealing with the many proc
esses now in the field for the cheap pro-
duction Of aluminium, we may briefly
glance at the properties and special char
acteristics Of the metal under considera-
ton. Aluminium has white silver like
appearance, is both malleable and ductile,
and from its sonorous properties is much
used in the manufacture of bells. An
exceedingly important feature is its
ightness, property which favors its
employment for many special purposes.
Aluminium has specific gravity Of only
2.56-that is, is two and half times as
heavy as water, and Is four times lighter
than silver.
Heat and electricity are conducted by
aluminium as well as by silver, while it
does not oxidize in air even at red heat,
has no action on water at ordinary tenn
perature, and preserves its luster where
silver would tarnish, being thus specially
remarkable as the highest metal capable
of resisting the action of air even in the
presence Of moisture. Chambers Jour

The salon of Nine. Recamier was

ical, but after the cruel persecution Of

enemies, and this young and innocent
woman was destined to feel the full bit.
terness Of his petty displeasure.
We cannot trace here the incidents Of
her varied career, the misfortunes of the
father to whom she was ministerina
angel, the loss of her husbands fortune
and her own, the years of wandering
and exile, the second period of brief and
Elusive prosperity, and the swift reverses
which led to her final retreat. She was
at the height Of her fame in the early
days of the Restoration, when her salon
revived its old brilliancy, and was a
center in which all parties met on neutral
ground. Her intimate relations with
those in power gave it strong political
influence, but this was never marked
feature, as it was mainly personal.
But the position in which one is most
inclined to recall Nine. Recamier is in
the convent Of Abbaye-aux- Bots, where,
Invested of fortune and living in the
simplest manner, she preserved for nearly
thirty years the fading traditions of the
old salons. Through all the changes
which tried her fortitude and revealed
the latent heroism of her character, she
seems to have kept her sweet serenity
unbroken, bending to the passing storms
with the grace of facile nature, but
never murmuring at the inevitable. One
may find in this infexible strength and
gentleness Of temper clew TO the subtle
fascination which held the devoted
friendship of so many gifted men and
wemen long after the fresh charm of
youth was gone.-Amelia Gere Mason

Old Jokes Are Good.

A professional huinorist said the other
day: ''There is a great truth about jokes
which both readers and writers recog-
nize in practice, but do not often fornu-
late. 1t is this: ms ~ es
A good joke improves no less with
age than does wine. Once upon a time
there was a famous speaker whose toll
erably bad lecture started off and ended
with two OF the most exquisite iokea
ever invented. People travelled miles
and sat patiently through the same lect-
ure year after year to split their sides
laughing at the same old jokes. After
the effect Of the introductory joke had
worn off there was always perfect 81
lence until the lecture was three-quar-
tiers done, when the anticipations of an
audience which had never been swindled
would begin to break out in gurgling
laughter, mods, winks and whispers of
tits comingl" And when at last this
well seasoned old chunk Of wit brought
the performance to close the very roof
was raised.
But one fatal night there was bad
case of dyspeptic pessimism in front
seat. 1t is true that when he roared
chestnut at the first joke the audience
nearly mobbed him, but the lecturers
tender spot was touched. He prepared
new lecture, which began and ended
with two absolutely fresh jokes. When
the lecturer walked upon the platform
with his new manuscript in his hand he
received an ovation.
The first new joke seemed to stupefy
the people. But q few sentences of the
new lecture woke them up, and they rose
as one man and demanded their money
at the box Office. At the next town the
lecturer affixed the old jokes to the new
lecture, and all went SO well that he is
still cracking them with constantly in
creasing success. Chicago Mail.
