A NOBLE Man Ann CoMRADE.

The good deeds of Comrade II. A. Alger
are the constant admiration Of all who love
to see wealth acquired by eminent business
ability wisely used 10 promote the happiness
Of those on whom fortune has bestowed few
favors.
Every Christmas Comrade Alger presents
several hundred newsboys of Detroit with a
new suit of clothes, as good as the stores Of the
city can furnish, and the amount Of happi-
ness be confers upon the little fellows is be-
yond conception by all who have not wit
messed the scenes at the distribution, nor
talked with the keen-wilted gamins after
they have been attired in garments Of which
they are prouder than any nobleman Of his
ceremonial robes. The Detroit papers have
been full OF descriptions of the great annual
event, which is Of more general interest than
any other holiday happening.
This is only small portion of COmrade
Ayers beDeiactiOns He does good in num-
berless ways of which the public know
nothing, and every day of his useful life is
a blessing TO some one. Detroit is justly
proud Of him, as are the comrades of the
Grand Army Of the Republic, TO whom he
is dear as one Of themselves, who was true.
brave soldier in The field, and whose emf
hence in civil life has not abated one iota
Of the fraternal feeling he has for those who
fought with him in the great struggle for
the Nations life. There was no better sol
der anywhere than Russell A. Alger, aud
there is no truer comrade alive.

In connection with the recent series
OF experiments with the search light,
organized by the Euglish navy, there
has been all interesting exhibition of
night operations on Wimbledon Com.
mon. The scientif part of this
display was provided by Capt. Ronald
Scott, who demon strated the facility
with which the electric search light
can be used, even when the means of
mounting it are of the most primitive
kind. BE had the protector mounted
on sn ordinary wagon, in which the
accnmulstors were placed, aud was
thus able to secure ilium Eating
power equal to 10000 candles When
the attack began he threw a broad
light over the heads of the sentries,
who, by its aid. could see every inch
of ground far in front of them, while
,remsining themselves concealed, ex.
cepting when, by accident, the ray
was thrown between them, revealing
heir exact position. This was no
cal disadvantage, as from it the
enemy found out nothing that was
not made manifest to them in a more
active way few moments later AS
the sentinels fell back upon their
pickets, the latter opened fire by
volIeys that made the gloom of night
so intense that nothing could be seen
more than o few yards off where the
electric light played. Having by this
time acquired complete control of the
light, the manipulation flashed it
with such effect in the eyes of the
enemy that they were blinded and
utterly unable to take aim, and at
the same time shown up clearly for
the defending riflemen to fire at The
little flight lasted for nearly an hour
aud half, and afforded the soldiers
an opportunity OF learning some val
liable lessons on modern methods of
wsrefare as influenced by the electric
light.

THE Houston Post in its issue of the

Collector Rentfro of Eagle Pass has
got himself into trouble by mourning

result, he is about to lose his official
head. The custom house at Eagle
Pass will not suffer by his decapita-
ton. There will be more than Que
volunteer ready to take his place as
soon as the ak falls.
This precious piece of information
will be news to the whole border.
Eagle Pass will puzzle her wits to
understand how in the name of the
Great Jehosaphat Collector Waugh
has been transmogrified into Rentfro,
and how it rs that neither Vaughn nor
any one in Eagle Pass has been in
formed of troub in the department
there. There is collector Rentfro
at Brownsville several hundred miles
down the river, but it is journalistic.
ally impossible that the Post, which
boasts of its immense circulation In
southwest Texas, could have made
such a mistak,. 1t may be, however,
that the stra Il upon the Post in sup
porting Ho < has proved too much
for its new editor, for it is not easy to
enact the role OF Hogg supporter
in the fac of the past declarations
of the Post. Such for instance as:
The best interest of Texas demand
some other man besides Hogg.
1t would be a sad day for Texas
which should see James Stephen
Hogg renominated for governor of the
state.
From whatever cause the short
coming and inconsistencies and con-
traditions of Post arise it is only too
certain that it is not in a mental con-
dition TO act.ss a public teacher.
This will be regretted by those who
in times past regarded the Post as
a great newspaper, but it is newt
able destiny aud must be submitted
to with as good grace as possible.
