A REPORT from the minister resident and consul general to Liberia, recently received, speaks very highly of the prospects of the negroes who have re- gently emigrated thither from the United States. A liberal piece of land is allotted to each immigrant, and they are cared for by the colonization com pany for six months, by which time it is expected that they will have raised enough to be self-supporting.

The rest are satisfied, and have turned their attention to planting cof fee, which, in few years, will yield them a fine income.

Tha Genius of To-Day.

The stamp of genius has changed ma serially from what it was in the olden time. In our grandfathers' day the ear marks of talent were such as would to- day stamp a man as being degraded and demoralized and would cause him to be banished from decent society. It used to be that a genius could be told by his appearance at considerable distance. He wore his hair long and in a scrambled condition, a vest with soiled front, and sprinkled his coat collar with dandruff. As gen. eral thing he got drunk, and no one really blamed him for it, because he was genius. His wife, poor creature! had to support him and the family, and while every one pitied her, and the neighbors brought in food and clothing for the children, she felt a secret pride in being the wife of real genius. A genuine worthless genius used to have every thing about his own way. Nobody charged him anything for drinks, the police refused to arrest him, and even the grocer expected to lose much of the amount charged against him. He could dress as disreputable as he pleased and everybody admired his eccentricities. Traits that would have been downright evils in anybody else were simply oddi. ties in his case. He jollied along through life without ever doing a square days work, and at death was given the biggest funeral his town had seen in 8 long while. But it is different now The genius of to-day in order to hold his job has to have his hair cut, brush his clothes, keep sober and saw wood just like common people. He must pay for everything he gets and receive nc more favors than a drayman. But the change had to come because men o1 genius were becoming so very numer ous and commonplace that something had to be done to reduce the tax they were levying on ordinary folks. The gcniuscs had real snap, but like lot! of other people they spoiled it by over working it.

OF all the odd election bets recorded probably the oldest is that made by Kensington (Pa.) couple. The man is a republican and his wife is an ardent democrat. Shortly Def ore the election they became involved in dispute over the relative merits of the two can didates, which at one time threatened to disrupt the household. This was re- newed at intervals, until in despera- tion the husband made the following startling proposition. Said he: 'It Cleveland is elected every night for a year will clear off the supper table, wash the dishes and put them away. On the other hand, if Harrison is elected you must shave me and shine my shoes every morning." To this the wife read fly agreed, and now the unfortunate man spends the better part of the evening struggling with dish rag and profan- ity, while his wife wears an angelic smile.

Hyde, not having recovered his share of the pro- ceeds, has turned informant, and affida- wits now in Washington are said to show facts in the conspiracy. The Chinamen are said to have been plum dered and held under guard on short ra- tions until a sufficient number have been collected to make the arrest an ob- ject.
