IOWA NATIONAL GUARDS.

T. #e ( . + j. d d
1t is widely known among the Afro
Americans of Iowa that Mr.. James
Washington, of Sioux City, has been
very strongly recommended to Gov
ernor Jackson, for appointment on his
staff, with the rank Of lieutenant
colonel Governor jackson has been
very busily engaged recently with his
ordinary official duties and his visits to
the camps of the Iowa National Gnard
at Spencer and other places, and if he
has considered the application for Mr..
Washington's appointment his decision
has not been promulgated; but those
who understand the intense Republi-
canism and broad liberality of his ex-
cellency, entertain strong hopes that
the coveted honor will be conferred
upon Sioux City's popular colored cici.
zen. 1t is safe to say that no other
high official of the state of Iowa has
| ever been more popular with the
colored race than Governor jackson,
and this because they know from OBJ
servation that he is a true and tried
| friend of the race: that he has the
courage of his convictions, and that in
his appointments he will not hesitate
| to honor one of the race on any race
| without prejudice. Mr.. Washington
feels deeply grateful to his friends il
Des Moines, Sioux City, and other part'
of the state, who have SO warmly sup
ported his cause for an honorable place
+! in the military service of the state.

.or the Leopard His spots.r

DR.. Sanermann, one of the leading
German ornithoIogists, publishes
some interesting particulars con-
corning his remarkable experiments
in artificially coloring the feathers
Of canaries. According to the doc
tor, canaries, when fed upon cayenne
pepper, gradually change the color
of their plumage. passing from the
characteristic yellow to beau tiful
red. Cayenne pepper contains a
tinctorial substance, an Initiative
principle and an oil. When the last
two substances are extracted by
stepping in alcohol, the pepper loses
its coloring powers and properties
From this fact, the doctor draws the
conclusion that the oily principle of
the pepper is the necessary vehicle
Of color.

the route Of the Great Western is de-

picnic grounds are handsome, cool and
shady and have all the modern con-
seeking recreation and pleasure. The
Baptist church people will have charge
Of the excursion and will spare no pains
to make it pleasant for all 1t will not

REAsSURED BY BAD LANGUAGE,
The Parson Feared no Danger so Long
as the Sailors Swore.

A good story is told by the illus
trated London News of tlmid
Clergyman just arrived from trip
abroad Coming home on the Berlin,
OF the American line, the weather
was alarmingly tempestuous. The
wind blew hurricane, the vessel
naturally rolled and the parson took
fright. He left his stateroom and
staggered along to the Office of John
Kavanagh, the purscr, who is bit
of wag, and said
.I'm sure. Mr., Purser, you'll par
don me, but feel so dreadfully agi-
tated. Kindly inform me, are we
in any positive DANGER"
Kavanagh replied: Come with
me moment, and he led the way
to the forecastle. Nov" continued
he, bend your ear down there and
tell me what you hear.
The sailors were swearing in their
happy-golu lucky, unconscious way.
How shocking! What language"
groaned the parson, trembling from
head to foot.
Now, do you for moment think
that those sailors would go on in
that profane fashion If there was real
danger?' asked the consoling kava-
| nagh
True true" replied the parson,
somewhat Gained by the assurance.

sweet flower of comfort from the vile
cloak of sin. The ways of Providence
are indeed inscrutable, and back he
crawled to his room. in a degree re-

Two hours later the storm Lad in

and howled more wildly, and huge

was out of his room again, more
! scared than before, and was seen
silently. .nervously fumbling along
the wet deck to the forecastle., He
was deadly pale and trembled with
excitement He listened The
sailors were shouting and a tremen-
dous oath amid the din reached his
ear.
THANK heaven" murmured he;
"they are still at it; they still bias
