Demand Their Rights.

New York, Nov. 2S.-Will the colored delegates to the republican national convention at Minteapo- lis be given equal rights by the ho telkeeper and their white colleagues. This is what the officers of the Afro-American League are about to ascertain. They say that large proportion of the delegates from the southern states will be colored and that there must be no discrimi- nation against them, either on ac- count of their color or previous condition of servitude. The ques ton was first sprung when New York entered the race, and now il is proposed to find out how Mime apolis stands.

The first American flag was de- signed and made by Betsey Ross in 1776, in an old colonial house which is still standing at 239 Arch street, Philadelphia. This is cer- tainly one of the most interesting buildings in our country the bricks of which 1t is composed were brought over as ballast in the ship "Welcome, "and the house was erect ed under the supervision of William Penn himself. There Is some pro- babilty that the building will be sold to speculators or to the Fair Com missioners and taken to Chicago. The Philadelphia people regard this as a specles of vandalism, but have as yet, taken no steps to prevent il by out-bidding the would be pur- chasers.

Those interesting South Africans, the Kimberly Kafirs, are extremely fond of cigars, but their habit is to smoke them with the lighted end in the mouth. When this peculiar ity was first mentioned to Colonel Knollys, an Englishman, he sup posed that his informant was crack ing joke, but to his amazement he saw numerous instances. The native it is stated first lighted his cigar by the ordinary method, then turning it around he deftly arranged the hotly glowing end in his mouth, and tucking away his tongue in his cheek proceeded to inspire and ex- spire the fumes, very gradually con- suming the whole of the cigar. The smokers assured their visitor that the process was warm, com forting, delicious and far supe- rior to the usual mode. On subse- quent trail Colonel Knollys found, he says, that the knack is less diff cult to acquire than might be sup. posed.-Exchange.

BlaCkmailing Scheme.

Last Friday night J. Gardner
 who recently came up from Old Mexico, attempted to blackmal ex- Agent Kuhn, He threatened to give damaging testimoneY in the express robbery matter unless Kuhn came down with $50. He wanted the money to send his woman back to Mexico and take himself to Kan sas City. Kuhn told the circum- stancess to Dr. IA. Shaw and Jos. FreudensteIn, and they advised him to make an appointment with Gardner and the woman, who turn out to be Annie Harrison, a bache. lor's wife lately from Magdalena, to meet in the alley back of Han na's store. He did so, and Satur- day night after Messrs. Shaw and Freudenstein had secreted them selves where they could hear what was said, met the parties. Gardner renewed the demand, with threats in case the money was not forth coming. Shaw and Freudenstein then put in an appearance and put the parties in the hands of the off cer. The woman said Gardner agreed to pay her $6 if he frighten- ed Kuhn out of the money. Gard ner confessed that he knew nothing in relation to the robbery, and was only trying to run a blazer on Kuhn in the hopes of frightening him in to paying him some money.-San Marcial Reporter.
