Mr.. Bissell does draw the color line;
for he does not appoint negroes as post
masters in the North, no matter how
often, if ever, they may have voted the
democratic ticket. He tries to obliter-
ate that line in the South, against the
very nature of the people of this sec

no racial prejudice exists, he observes
it rigidly. If Mr. Bissell and his family
would move South, the scales would
fall from his eyes.

Mr.. TALMAGE TO REMA1N.-The Of
ficers of the Brooklyn Tabernacle met
the creditors of the church at the Bible
House in New York Saturday after
noon, and came to an agreement which
was satisfactory to both and which also
settled the question of DIR. Talmage's
resignation in the negative. This new
aspect of affairs was brought about by
the payment of claims representing an
aggregate of about 800, 000 The credit
ors uniformly expressed their satisfac-
ton with the arrangement reached,
which was on a basis of % per cent.
This settlement makes the Tabernacle's
prospects very bright. 1t is thought
that the income from the Tabernacle
will admit of the formation OF sinking
fund, which can be utilized as means
of wiping out the Sl25,000 mortgage
and of ultimately meeting the moral
obligation that exists of paying dollar
for dollar of the balances waived by the
creditors.
Rev. DR.. Talmage announced from
his pulpit Yesterday to congregation
numbering several thousand persons
that $4,000 has been raised towards
defraying the floating debt of the
church. and that it insured his remain
ing as pastor. At the official announce
ment by DR.. Talmage that the cash had
been raised, the congregation applaud
ed loudly. Russell Sage still holds a
mortgage on the Tabernacle of Sl25, 900.

delegation have based their recon-

Office seekers upon the ground of the
effective service those applicants will
render their party at next falls cleo
ton but that he can't see why any
service. effective or otherwise, will be
required at the election referred to, as
the third party has no strength of it

republican support. He says the Har-
rison administration seemed to think
that Brady and Langston ran the reput-
lican party in Virginia, but that he will
support no party with such leaders.
He says he is northern man and re-
publican, but that during the Lang
ston campaign he really was alarmed
at the threatening behavior Of the ne
groes and feared their violence would
bring on race war, and that IN
that campaign Brady was Langston's
right hand man. He also says that
General Malone told him with his own
mouth that when Brady found out re
could not be nominated for Congress
he came to him and asked him to be-
come candidate, telling him he would
be nominated without opposition, and
that then he could turn it over to him,

Malone replied that he could not so

Brady turned against him, though Ma,

DAvY CRocKET's "GHosT. THE
historical Alamo Mission and fort build
ing in San Antonio, Tex, in which
Crockett, Bowie Travis and many
other Texas patriots were executed by
the Mexicans, was converted into a
sub police station a few days ago.
Many Mexicans of that city, have long
claimed that the old building is haunt
ed with the spirits of those who lost
their lives within, and that on rainy,
dismal nights these spirits hold levee
in the upper rooms of the structure.
This popular superstition was never ia
yestisated and met with no credence
except among the Mexicans. Since
the establishment of the new police
station in the building there has been
but one night on which it rained, and,
according to the statements of one OF
the officers who was in the structure
at that time, some very mysterious and
startling manifestations occurred. Loud
sounds were heard in the upper part
of the building, as if made by dancing,
and at one time an Eapparition" was
seen moving about in the room where
Crockett lost his life. 1t disappeared
when within a few feet of one of the
officers.
