No MATTER who suggested or recon-
mendea The change of the name of the
postoffice at Appomattox Court House
to Surrender, the administration made
the change and is responsible therefor;
and no matter how foolish the sugges-
tiers or recommenders may have been,
the administration of a government OF
a great country should certainly have
had sense enough to avoid the commits
sion of such an outrage upon the nat
ural feelings of the people of one halt
of it, and upon the sympathies OF all
those of the other half who are wise
enough to know. that where men must
live together, it is best for all that ami
cable feelings should subsist among
them, and that the victors should irri-
tate the tender sensibilities of the van
pushed as little as possible.

STORM IN THE SoUTH.-A dispatch
from Charleston,S s.. G. says the hurricar Q
went around Charlestown. There was
heavy sea and hard rains, but the
maximum velocity of the wind was
only thirty.five miles an hour, and no
damage, SO far, has been reported ON sea
or shore. 1t is possible that the cotton
crop in the interior was damaged by the
storm, but the damage will in no place
prove serious.
A dispatch from Savannah Ca, says
the center of the Gulf storm passed
west of Savannah yesterday, moving
northeast. No damage was done there.
At Tybee the wind reached a velocity
of seventy miles an hour for q short
time. All shipping was made secure,
and suffered no injury.
A telegram has been received from
Port Eads to the effect that the orange
crop in that vicinity was damaged one
third by the storm. The wind attained
velocity Of eighty-four miles an hour
when the gauge broke. The rice fields
we're covered with water to the depth
OF four feet, but as the crop had been
harvested, very little damage resulted
from overflow.

THE NORTHERN opponents of the in
come tax say that tax is sectional, as
nearly all the rich men of the country
live in the North, and they are the only
ones who will have to pay it. OF
course all such talk is the veriest CAB
BILE, for, in proportion to white popu-
lation, there are as many people subject
to the tax referred to in the South as IN
the North. That the people of the
North don't think the tax is a sectional
one, is proved by the fact that the dem
ocrats of Massachusetts,, in State con-
yention assembled, have just declared
that: ave approve the principle of the
income tax as a return to correct theo-
ries of taxation"

Cracow newspapers blood poisoning has

LONDON, Oct. 1O.-A dispatch from
Shanghai says that although the Chi
nese government has plenty of men at
its disposal, there is a total lack Of
modern arms for their use. This de-
ficiency, the dispatch asserts, the Ger
mans are endeavoring to supply.
Many of the Chinese soldiers recently
sent to the front have been armed only
with jingals and bows and arrows.
Tho families of the customs officials at
Pekin are arriving at Shanghai by every
steamer. A high official in the service
of the government recently reported
that the Chinese fleet which has been
operating against the Japanese squad
ron is powerless to cope with the enemy
and, in fact, is of not the slightest use
as a means of offence or defence.

AS THERE will be no democratic votes
to lose in any part of this State at the
approaching election, those who may be
entitled to vote then should take the
little trouble that is necessary to see
that they are properly registered, so
that their ballots may be received and
counted; but as many of them will not
do so, the democratic committees
should make it their business to see,
that such as fail to do so shall be re-
duced to the smalles possible number.

RELIGIOUS TROUBLE IN MADRID
The excitement arising from the re-
cent conservation of the Protestant
bishop of Madrid is increasing. The
papal nuncio affirms that the consecra-
ton was sacriligious and illegal. This
action is considered by the liberal par
ty as interference by foreign diplo-
matist in SPANS international affairs.
The liberal newspapers demand that
the government hand the nuncio his
passports. The question threatens to
become violent political issue.

CHINA AND JAPAN.-A dispatch from
Yokohama repeats the report of tie
capture of Che.Foo, and adds that the
Japanese have landed troops at Taras-
cada, near Port Arthur.
A correspondent at Hong Kong tele-
graphs under the date of yesterday
that the Chinese have closed Foo Chow
in preparation for siege. He further
says that panic prevails at Canton.
A Shanghai dispatch says that the
British military officer who has care
fully collated the accounts of the battle
of Ping Yang concludes that there
were only 5000 Chinese engaged, and
that their loss was under 1000.
Under date of October 10 CORE
spondent at Tien Tsin cables that 5000
Russian troops are posted on the Co.
rean frontier, facing the Japanese force
at Hun Chun, nine miles north of the
boundary.
1t is added that assaults on foreigners
at Pekin and its environs, which have
constantly occurred during the last two
years, are increasing in frequency and
gravity, as has always been predicted
must happen, owing to the federation
of the foreign representatives, who are
really the responsible parties. Each
minister, thinking to conciliate the
government, leaves his colleagues to
make protests. the result being plenary
indulgence to street rowdies.
Russia is said to have sent note TO
Japan, claiming IN interest in the tu-
ture government of Corea, and that
Japan's reply was unfriendly.

The Peanut Party.


This makes great sport for home
entertainment. A large quantity OF
peanuts is needed. 1t is better to
roll severally hundred or more in
violet colored tissue paper. Then
twist canary-colored tissue paper
around punches of threes or tours to-
gether. Before the guests arrive the
peanuts must be well hidden, but in
such places that they can be'readily
found-hehind pictures GREASY chairs
or among the cushions, etc. After
the company is assembled give each
individual a silk bag matching the
colors of the tissue paper. This one
whose bag is first filed receives the
iirst prize, the one who has the most
violet colored peanuts the second,
and he who has the most canary col
ored peanuts has the booby prize
This game may be varied to suit
taste and circumstances. 1t is always
frolic and may be followed with old
fashioned favor.tes such as blind
mans bluff, @oats, peas, beans, "

college songs. etc.

Motto to Coat-of-Arms.

The art of composing the motto
was subjected to severe rules. The
body" and the soul" were required
to be in such relation to each other
that the soul" should invariably ex-
plain the body" The legend must
be concise, neatly turned and ingeni-
ously suggestive-liket the "Desdicha-
do" of the disinherited knight in
"Ivanhoe
1t had always to be applicable to
the person as well as to the material
object forming the "body," and it
must not be drawn from things I'M
known, nor must it be too enigmatic
or too facile, too humble, or, above
all, too arrogant. Again, it was es-
sential that the figure should be
agreeable to the eve, and its idea to
the mind. Finally, the device was
perfect only when the body" was
unique and the soul" or motto In a
language which was not the mother
tongue of him who bore it.
The motto ought not to contain
more than eight syllables. That of
our Order of the Garter, aHoni soft
qui NAL y pense," contained only sew
en-; that of our Kings, "Dieu ct mon
droit, only four. The device of Leo
X. was a yoke with "Suave" for th,l
motto-aThe yoke of the Lord is
sweet" That of Henry Ill, King Of
France and Poland, two crowns OF.
the earth and one up above, with the
motto, "Manet ultima coelo;" that of
Charles ", the pillars of Hercules,
and the legend, NE plus ultra"
Devices went out of vogue in the
seventeenth, century, and now sur
vive only in the coats of arms of the
older families, where the reader, il
he be so disposed, may study them at
leisure, and examine how nearly they
approach the ideal embodied in the
foregoing rules. All the Year Round.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
Items of General Interest that are Occur
ring at the Capital City.

The signal victory of Senator Call
of Florida in the rejection of Henry
w. Long, who was nominated by the
president for the Office of register of
the land office, and supported by Sena-
tor Pasco and the entire Florida dclega
ton, is the subject of general com
ment. The question seems to have
hinged on the charge, sustained by the
aEdavits of credible witnesses, that
Mr.. Long had accused Senator Call Of
stealing Negroes home from him in
the settlement of lands in the state, a
charge which Mr.. Longs friends
found themselves unable to refute.
