Perhaps some smokers do not believe
1t, but prices for precisely the same kind
of cigars vary widely. The writer
knows of one place where a cigar is sold
for So cents, while the same cigar may
be bought not far away for 25 cents.
The man who sells the 30 cent cigar
would not believe this statement until
he was convinced at the cost of a box
of cigars. He bet that the cigar in ques-
ton could not be obtained for % cents
at retail The other man led him around
the corner to a rival and proved that it
could be bought for just that amount
The winner of the bet was maliciously
jocose, too, for he proposed that the
loser buy the cigars in the rival shop,
since they would cost him so much
more in his own store. He came near
having fit at that.-New York Trib-

ty of the negroes of the District, headed
by Frederick Douglass and ex-senator
Bruce. This move grows out of the re-
fusal Of the commissioners of the Dis
trict to appoint colored man as one Of
the members of the board of assessors
recently created by act Of congress The
oolored men had an applicant in the
person Of Daniel A. Murray, an assist
ant in the congressional library and a
member of the board of trade. Frederick
Douglass especially interested himself in
behalf of Mr.. Murray, but the board re.
fused to appoint him. The colored PEG
pie made a stubborn fight for the assess
orship, and now that that has been de-
MED them no offices are left, and they
propose to memorabilia congress for the
restoration of the right of suffrage in
the District.
When the suffrage was in vogue in
the District, the negroes were an impor-
tant factor in the government, and a
part Of the patronage was accorded
them. There was a negro assistant dis
trict attorney, a tax registrar and city
marshal, and other lucrative offices
were filled by them. But with abolition
of the right of suffrage they have been
cut off one by one until the assessorship
was the only place filed by negro
Now even that has been taken away.
Frederick Douglass says that the gov
eminent of the District is an oligarchy,
and it is wonder to him that the peo-
pie have tolerated it as long as they
have. Under its present form Of gov
eminent he thinks it impossible for the
$4,000 colored people to get any civil
or political recognition. He says the
trend is now against the negro, but
that reaction will speedily set in.
The sentiments of Mr.. Douglass are
Endorsed by other prominent colored
citizens of the District. who say that if
they are not successful in their move
they will at least let the world know
they feel keenly the discrimination on
account of color in the government Of
the District The pastors of all the 10
cal churches are in favor of the move
ment, and the petitions will be placed
at the several churches from Sunday to
Sunday for signatures. - Washington

Progressiye Frenchwomen.

The pioneer and great organizer of the
campaign for woman's rights in France
Nine Maris Deraismes-has devoted
band of disciples. They have lately is
sued a spirited address, which appears
on the walls of Paris, and in which they
claim for the Frenchwoman the right to
dispose of the fruit of her labor without
male interference. The person who
drafted the bill sent to the senate recent
ly, and who generally advises the mem.
bers of the Woman's Rights association
on legal points, is Nine. Jeanne Chauvin,
who passed brilliant examination in
jurisprudence some time ago and is a
doctor of laws. This bill empowering
women engaged in trade to vote for the
elections of judges of the tribunals Of
commerce is the first to be read by the
senate on this question of woman's
rights, and the supporters of the cause
feel that they have gained great vic
tory.-Paris Letter.

one of his friends asked him about it the

writing to me he would have been rich

one letter after another. saying that If
he only had $500 he would be all right,
He repeated this so often that one day

SIN about three months he wrote
again, saying the agreement was off be-
cause his wife hadn't been included.
Mr.. Armour seemed to think the
whole thing was a great joke and espe-
cially enjoyed the shrewdness of his

The Spirit of Destruction Makes Itself Felt
Even In the Scrap Pile.
Anybody desiring an exciting occupa-
ton could not do better than to obtain a
job at one of the numerous metal REIN
cries in Birmingham. In addition to the
usual risks in such business the work
men daily encounter the danger of being
blown up by bombs. A good deal of
scrap metal bought for the melting pots
comes from the continent, where, it
seems, carelessness has almost reached
the rank of virtue. It is common
thing to find loaded military bombs
among the refuse. The workmen must
always be on the lookout for them.
For the second time within a week one
srm has providentially escaped being
blown sky high. First it was an old gun.
powder shell, probably found on some
battlefield. Then vaviety was given to
the entertainment by the arrival of a
more scientific and up to date bomb
which came in a cargo of scrap iron, and
the workman just missed shovIing it
into the furnace. 1t only weighed two
pounds, but it would have done damage
altogether disproportionate to its size,
for on being tenderly dissected in the
firms laboratory the little stranger wac
found to contain a quarter of pint Of
nitroglycerin. Letter.
