The New Haven Comm Register tells
the following of the alleged murderer,
Andersen. who is awaiting a new trial at
the County Jail in that city: ''He some
time since caught a mouse ia his cell,
Gagged him, and has carefully trained him.
Andersen will hold q string suspended
from his fingers, and in broken English
command the mouse to up, like sailor
whereupon the little animal will Law hold
OF the string with his feet and climb to
the prisoners hand. The mouse will al
so sit at command on his hind legs on
teacup, will crawl up the prisoners face
through his muustache and over his nose,
and finally jump from his head to his hand
and completing his performance with a
graceful bow. One OF the most interest
ing things concerning the history of this
little acrobat is the great love it has
for the prisoner. When Andersen was
moved "A few weeks ago to another and
darker cell, the mouse was lost, and al
though carelull; sought after by the keep
er, could not be found. Andersen was
deeply grieved over the disappearance OF
his tiny companion, who he feared had
been killed, and even the prison officials
expressed regret that the little creature
should have dropped so completely and
mysterously out OF the usually dull rou-
tine of prison life. Great was the JOY
therefore of Andersen, and of all in the
Jail, when one day the mouse made its
appearance at the door of Andersen's new
cell. and, running In, resumed its accus-
toned place by the prisoners side. 1t is
stated that the little animal seemed as
greatly reJoiced as its master over the re-

There are occasions when sentimentalism
is sound politics. The country will have
no reason to complain of the indulgence by
President Hayes of the sentimental regard
he is known to cherish for the colored race if
he shall be as discreet in its exhibition as
he has been in appointing the gifted negro
orator, Frederick Douglass, the leading rep
resentative of his race, to an important
Office in the District of Columbia. The
idea that man Of his talents is in
comprehensive only objection Senators
Bayard and Whyte made to his conirma-
tion-is ridiculous. The duties of mar
shal are Of precisely the same nature as the
duties of constable; o marshal is merely
a constable on larger scale. Most of the
actual work will be done by deputies, who
are mere constables under another name,
their chief merely selecting and superin-
tending them. Mr.. Douglass has resided
long enough in the District to be able to
make good enough selections. and the
volunteer offer Of eminent democratic
citizens of Washington to be his
bondsmen equally attests his honesty
and their liberality. The fact that
four democratic Senators voted for his
confirmation, and that moro would have
done SO had it been necessary, is another
pleasing incident connected with this ap-
pointment.


There is nothing new in colored citizen
and ex-slave holding so important an Office.
Senator Bruce is colored, and there were

The position Of Senator or Representative is
of far higher dignity than that of marshal.

difference between citizens or States on
account Of the rebellion, wisely de-
cided to give conspicuous proof
that he will make no difference be-
tween citizens on account of color Hav-
ing proved the sincerity of the first part of
his intention by appointing democrat and
ex-rebel to place in his Cabinet he has
proved his sincerity in the second part by
appointing an able colored man and ex-
slave to an Office of more emolument, though
of less honor. After the recent intemperate
letter Of William Lloyd Garrison assailing
the Southern policy of the President it was
as polite as it was just and considerate
to bestow this mark of confidence
on Mr.. Douglass. When Mr.. Garrison
and Mr.. Douglass were constantly ap-
pearing on the same platforms Mr.
Douglass was always deemed the more
interesting speaker, and for effect on a col
ored audience there was never any compare
son between them. If men of the stripe Of
Garrison attempt to SOW the seeds of discon-
tent among the negroes by disappearing
the policy of the President, no man in the
country is SO we'll fitted to explain it cor
rectly and allay their fears as Frederick
Douglass, who knows NIL the avenues to their
hearts. Mr.. Hayes is wisely attempting to
secure influence with both races in the
South by gaining the confidence of their
natural leaders.
