CAPTAIN.

The players sit in a line like a
class; the captain takes a seat fac
ing them and puts the following
five questions to the class. beginning
at the top:
What is the name of the captain?
What is the name Of the ship?
Where does it start from
Where is it bound for?
What is the cargo !?
The first player has to answer
each question with a suitable name
or word beginning with A, before
the captain has finished counting
ten very quickly. II the player
cannot answer the first question be-
fore the captain has finished count
ing he passes on to the next, and :he
first VINO answers correctly goes to
the top of the class. When all the
questions h ke been answered with
words begi1ning with A, the cap
tain begins again with the letter b,
and so on. There is constant move
ment, as the one who gives cor
rect answer goes to the top of the
class and all the rest move down.

This table shows that there are IA
counties that have handsome colored
majOrities in the Republican party, while
only nine counties have srhite Republi-
can majorities. These facts collected,
rs stated bear out my assertion that the
cOlored people, II they will only stand
together and assert their rights, under
the present condition of affairs, p0liti-
cally, will come very near gaining the
balance of power.
Will my colored friends study this
table, and then learn for once that their
votes have for years been 1.-The balance
of power" while ineffective in results
so far as their good was concerned.
Their votes elected Gov. Lowndes.
What did the Governor ever do for
themg When he was in Congress did
he vote for the Civil Rights Bill. After
being elected by our votes to his present
office has he in any way benefited us :
Does he expect To- step into the United
States Senate by colored votes ? Let us
say just here TO him: BLESSED are they
that expect little, because they shall not
be disappointed -
With these facts before my colored
fellow citizens, as to the political stats
ties Of voting in our State, l again sug-
sest the prOprlety Oh Whal nature teach
as us, viz: THAT birds of feather
(should) flock together" We colored
people should know that the white peo-
pie, in both parties, are politically ut
iOggerheads, and take advantage of the
opportunity To vindicate both our rights
and importance as voters. Ii may be
years before another such opportunity
presents itself to demonstrate the actual
importance of our influence i'm elections
The table above shows that the total
Republican registered vote was 1877 ,O34
in 1896. OF this the white Republicans
cast 81, $50 and the colOred voters 81 ,6l3,
leaving out of the entire registration
only 1856 unpolled votes, that were most
likely white men. Thus il will be seen
that there are only 35,052 more white
than cOlored votes registered. and that
the white Republicans have enjoyed all
patronage and spoils of victory, when
ever won.

Shore counties and Baltimore City ex-

Two or three people go out Of the

themselves in q row on chairs and
are covered mp by large sheet from
their feet to their necks. All the
faces and heads are then concealed
by large sheets of paper, in which
holes are made for the eyes to look
through. When everything is ready
the people outside are allowed to
come in aud have to guess by look
ing at the eyes to whom they be-
long. 1t is extremely difficult to
recognize in this way even those one
knows intimately. The pazzle may
be repeated by substituting the
noses for the eyes of the concealed

ORCHESTRA.

This is a particularly noisy game.
The players choose one of their
number as conductor, and he in
turn makes them stand or sit round
him in a circle and tells each one
what instrument he is to play and
how it is to be played. When all
are ready the conductor tells them
to tune up, and the musicians make
as many discordant noises as they
think fit, till the conductor waves
his imaginary baton and begins
humming some well-known tune in
which the whole band joins, each
one initiating the sound of his in
strument with his voice. and the
movement of playing it with his
hands. Now and then the conduc-
tor pretends to play one of the in
strunents, and the player to whom
it belongs must at once cease play
ing and conduct the band in silence,
until the leader resumes his own
part of conducting. Anyone fail
ing to take the conductors place
pays forfeit. An energetic con-
ductor is needed for this game, as
much of the fun of it depends upon
him.
