In addition to the resident membership
which are intrusted with the duty of
watching the fortunes of their party in
this locality, a new amendment has been
added to the constitution by which non

places of honorary membership, and so
the club will be kept in sympathy and close
fellowship with Democrats in all portions
of the State.
To meet the growing demands Of the club
and 10 increase its usefulness it has been

THE FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETS.

At the last meeting of the club a COM
mittee of eighteen, with Commonwealth
Attorney Smith as chairman, was appoint
ed TO consider and report as to the feast
bility Of buying or building such O
clubhouse. This committee at the first
meeting resolved TO report fayOrably upon
the project, provided the money for its
cost can be secured: and to secure the
necessary funds a finance committee. con-
sisting Of Messrs. Beverley V. Munford
chairman, j. L. Kearney. A. ID. Landerkin,
j. Taylor Ellyson, and f.. Sitterding, were
appointed. This committee held its first
meeting last evening, and it is confidently
believed by its members that the necessary
arrangements can be effected 10 buy or
erect the building. It is an enterprise in
which our citizens will feel a lively inter-
est, and il is believed that the day is not
far distant when a home for this stalwart
band of Democratic workers viii be Sc
cured in eyerv way worthy of the organi-
cation and the great party whose fortunes
they so valiantly maintain.

The negroes, through the National
Committee of the Afro Press Associa-
ton, are importuning the President
to appoint one of their number a Com
missioner of the Worlds Fair, and
also to one of the newly created U. s.
Circuit Judgeships. The first demand
it is impossible to comply with, as the
Commissioners are already appointed;
an alternate is ready to FIJI it. AS to
the Judgeship, if Mr.. Harrison has
any idea Of committing political sui
eide, he will no doubt grant their re-
quest; but Harrison has never pecu-
liarly impressed us as being built "that
way" and has temporized with the
committee in a manner which means
mot this EVENING" He promised
them Harrison is very promising
President) that, if they would present
the name of negro who was thor
oughly versed in the law and had ar
rived at that ertinence in practice
which would entitle him to the ap-
pointment, he "would take the matter
under consideration"

Messrs. Farwell and Taylor, men,
bers Of the syndicate which built the
Texas State Capitol, were interviewed
in Houston few days since. They
state that although the State had
given them 100000 acres Of land,
the policy was wrong, as no such large
bodies Of land should be held by a
few individuals. The, vast tract has
been fenced in at cost of $3.50, 900,
and not till Oklahoma and the Strip
are settled will it be thrown on the
market. The land is now worth $780,
900, 900. At the mouth Of the Brazos
river they will lay off and grade a
city, and expect BY July to have 20
feet Of water. II they succeed, in a
few years the Mouth of the Brazos
will be a city rivaling if it does not
excel Galveston. Texas is bound to
have deep water port.

A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature of the State of New York
prohibiting express companies, and
other common carriers, from bringing
into the State Of New York lottery
tickets, and making it an offense pun
ishable by fine and imprisonment. It
also makes all officers, servants, agents
and employees of such companies who
handle the tickets or other lottery
matter liable to fine and imprison-
ment." Nearly all the States in the
Union are taking steps to more effec-
tually ostracise the lottery; and the
final step, which will obliterate it en-
tirely, will be taken at the next ses-
sion of Congress, when an amendment
to the Constitution, prohibiting the
chartering of a lottery by any State,
will be submitted to the States for
ratification.

THE INDIANS AND NOAH'S
FLOOD.

The sacs, Foxes and Muskiakie
Indians are located on a small reserva-
ton in Tama county, Iowa. They
know nothing of Jesus Christ, though
they have tradition (and it is said
that this tradition is only common to
the above tribes) concerning the del
uge that compares favorably with the
theory generally thought and accept
ed by the teachers Of the Christian
religion. One day, in talking with
them, their agent, Mr.. Davenport, ex.
planned the coming, the duration and
the subsidence of the great food. He
referred to Noah's ark, and told about
the dove that was sent out and came
back with the olive leaf. Hump
said one of the dusky chiefs eve know
that long time. We we're in canoes
all tied together. We float on top
heap water. We sent muskrat down,
one, two,-many times. He dive; be
come up. Last he 60 down and i, he
come up with mud in his claw. We
know water 60 down; soon land on big
hill, all right.-St. Louis Republic.

Secretary Rusk talks with great el

Secretary Rusk talks with great en-
thusiasm on the future Of the Ameri-
can hog. He said that he was nearly
ready to start the machinery of the
new law which calls for inspection.
He had given considerable attention
to the subject, and would make the
rules as simple as possible. He be-
lieved that the inspection law would
satisfy France, Germany and England,
and he anticipated a large increase of
export of hog products to those coun-
tries. He believed that Germany
would mike no objection to American
pork, because it would be possible to
show that nation that it was for its
own advantage to purchase here. A
communication has been forwarded to
