The Ilace Problem.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat, one
of tho airiest of southern newspapers, is
taking a hand in tho discussion of the
race problem. Unlike most papers north
and south, tiie T. D. contends that the
negro race is not increasing.
One point it makes is of much interest.
Wherever the negro race is left to itself,
with no “visible admixture” of white
blood, there the negro population in
creases slowly, if at all. It even falls
off. It is so i:i Ilayti, in Ilarbadoes ami
in Jam say’s the T. I). It isso in the

In New York city last year there
were 85,048 arrests. Of the 85,049 per
eons, two-thirds were unmarried. If
matrimony is stormy indoors at times, it
seems to havo a tendency to keep people
from outside scrapes., Only 19,953 of the
whole number arrested were women.

nals wero of foreign birth. Very few
Chinese were among them, a large num¬
ber being Germans and Italians. A not¬
able increase of arrests among the Rus¬
sian residents of New York city has been
observed. Only a fraction over 5 per
•cent, of all the prisoners were unable to
read and write. Our criminal classes are
becoming educated. The occupation of
barkeeper furnishes more recruits to the
police court lists than any other. Print¬
ers come next. There were 19.009 who
hail no occupation at all. It pains the
journalistic soul to observe that 83 editors
were among those arrested. There were
82 doctors and 95 lawyers.
Portugal has declared a protectorate
over the Iviko Nyassa region, ia Central
Africa. Great Britain has warned l’or
tugal off, on the ground that Livingstone
discovered this region before Portugal
diil. Thereupon Portugal produces old
folios to show that, her explorers had
penetrated to tliis region in the Seven¬
teenth centuky. Tit©odd thing about fiotli
these claims is that tiie region was in
habited when botli these superior races
made their discoveries, and neither ap
pears to think tho original natives have
any claim to be consulted in tliis matter
even on tboir own soil

The supreme court of the United States
is several years behind with its business,

The establishment cf an intermediate
court to try certain classes of cases has
often been proposed as a relief Chief
Justice Fuller advocates it. But it would

till they had carried their wars through
that too.
The transfer of the money in the
United States treasury from Treasurer
Hyatt to Treasurer Huston will be sig¬
nalized by a recount of all the money in
tho treasury, dollar by dollar. In round
numbers there are §200,000,090 in the
treasury. Nearly three-fourths of it is
in standard silver dollars, Tlie counting
will require the work of sixty experts
four months.
Forthe first time in the history of na
tions, English has been used as tiie lan
guage of diplomacy. Tho Samoan nego
nations at Berlin are in that language,
This is in deference to the Americans on
the commission. Americans ai-e the
jioorc-st linguists among nations, except
the French, and rarely know any lan
guage but their own.
They grumble in any case. Peach
growers say now the crop will be so large
that the price will beaway down to noth¬
ing and will scarcely pay for handling.
Curious! But perhaps this summer the
children of the poor millions in cities will
get some of the fruit which is life and
health to them.
In the witness box in London, Mr,
Ikirnell made a striking impression of

“Everybody we employ to gather in¬

Journalist John h. Sullivan.
The strongest animal in proportion to
size on this continent is John L. Sullivan.
John lias gone into journalism, seemingly
quite unaware that the laurels of a jour¬
nalist can add nothing to his fame in the
eyes of Ids admiring fellow countrymen.
In iiis first newspaper letter Journalist
Sullivan gives us scientific information
as follows: “If your esdB are all bunged
up, you simply apply hot water, as hot
as you can bear.” He also tells U3 that
“a fighter don't feel so bad while bat¬
tling." Very respectable men go to prize
fights, he says, and enjoy them, which is
probably true. “I do not eat a large
quantity of food.” quoth John, "but 1
eat three good meals a day.”
Finally the champion gives figures to
prove that prize lighters sometimes live
to be 70 arid 80 years old, and continue
to lie good prize fighters till 35 or 40. If
this be true, we may confidently hope

Young as she is, this new
passion is a connoisseur of kissing; she
describes kissing in all phases and at all
temperatures. Now the osculatory per¬

asks Anna. Wegiveitup. If a young
lady has kissed so many men in her time
that she can t remember them, or sepa
rate them one from another in her mind,
we submit whether it is quite the thing
to ask the public who they are. We
don't know, and wouldn’t tell if we did

we recommend her, if she wants to be
kissed again, to say nothing about it It
isn't nice in a young lady to blab like

Her verses are not very original, to

as a certain rare and famous poem. Al

Our laws in regard to immigrants are
a precious hit of wisdom. Under them,
if a foreigner lands in this country with
bis work engaged and ready for him be
forehand, he is ser.t back home under
the law forbidding the importation of

he comes without money and without
prospect of work, he can be sent back
anyhow as a pauper.
Not much inventive genius lias sprung

A modest gentleman, who has grown

stroys this theory, first on the ground
that Miles Standish lost a wife through
bash fulness, which no Irishman ever did
since the world liegan. Second, Miles
Standish sent another man to do Iris
courting for him, and no Irishman ever
did that cither.
Horne rule for India is probably the
next great question which will agitate
the vexed .-sealsof British statesmen. The
annua! congress of natives of India, now
including 1,500 mem tiers, have issued a
significant declaration of rights. Among
their demands is one that the natives of
India shall be freely admitted to admin¬
istrative and exec utive places. They de¬ |
also the entire reconstruction of I

extends throughout India and includes

Atlantic Fogs.
They are unique. They are quite as
heavy and obscuring as a London fog.
They add an element of great danger to
shipping interests. The danger becomes
more terrible with every year, as the
number of small and large craft increases
on our coasts. Already no great fog set- ,
ties down along the eastern shores and
remains for twenty-four hours that some
accident does not occur Collisions take
place, and often great iron steamers that
start out in the fog return to port a few
hours later with jagged, gaping holes in
tiieir sides, lucky that they did not go to
the bottom at once with all on board.
Fearfully often, too, tho trim little white
pilot boats that dance so jauntily over
the waves and venture far out to sea
to meet incoming steamers are crushed
like paper boxes by the Inigo black

year mortgages ten or twenty years ago
now find themselves obliged to pay an
annual interest considerably aUrve the
current market rate. On the other hand
interest was never so low in the history
of the Union as it is now.
ll is by no means certain this will con
tinue. Corjiorations and individuals,
therefore, that can escape near payment
of debts by giving longtime mortgages
at 34 to 4 per cent, will find this an easy
way out, and be able to shove their debts
off upon posterity.
In 1870, the Erie Railroad company
issued fifty years bonds at 7 per cent.

Possibly by the time that debt comes due
mankind will need neither railroads nor
interest money. The Illinois Central has
out various seventy year bonds at from
3; to 5 per cent. The Kentucky Central
has some 100 year 4 per cents, while the
New Jersey Central has .$50,000,000 5 per
eents that run 100 years. Atchison and
Topeka bonds ran fifty years.

stock market fifty-venr railroad

thirty and forty-year lionds, §500,000,

carried the long bond business so far
that their mortgages are practically
never paid, Tlieir permanent debts
amount to §2,500,000,000. Their rate of
interest is from 11 to 5 percent., with a
very smail amount at 0 per cent.
Dwarf's in Africa.
Probably the most ancient race on the
globe aro the strange dwarfs who it is
now certain inhabit a considerable ixir
lion of Centra! Africa. There are two
tribes of them—the Alika, or Wambutti
people, north of Stanley's Aruwini river,
and the ftatwa, south of the Congo.
Tiie two appear to be a kindred people.
In general there seems to be about as
vieiottsfiess inclosed in their make¬
up as a body of 4J feet high can iioid.
Their tufts of kinky hair aro often paint

Washington. Greeley was there as the
correspondent of his own paper.
Re seems to have disliked Washington,
a nd speaks of it as “this hole.” In his

Tho Tribune was a very great power
r in the land in those days. It was tin
j head and front of the little party that
j was trying to organize itself against sla-
1 very, and its utterances were looked fo
! daily with eagerness by both its friends
and its enemies. Like great editors in
; all t< times, Greeley was held responsible
r everv word in his paper. He was
! threatened with violence and death viu’i
ous times during 1S55-0.
In January, 1850, lie writes to Dana;
Every traitor and self seeker hates me with a
demoniac hatred, which is perpetually bursting;
out Lastly your friend. Jutige Shanklaud, gen
eval of tho Kansas volunteers, has notified me
that he shall cowhide mo (for rudeness in refus

Once he was actually vaulted by Mr
Rust. Dana <\ v ; e d into The Tribune ex
tracts from other papers, showing the
outrageous character of the attack.
Thereupon Greeley writes to him:

sympathy At all events, 1 don’t wish to beg for it
It was as much as a man’s life
worth to speak his mind on certain topic s
in those duvs. Yet not for one moment
did tiie great editor keep silence. He
was vexed beyond measure that Tho
Tribune had allowed tiie pro-slavery part
of Pierce's message to go by without a
good round editorial rating, atthesame
time that it had printed eleven columns

letter:

Tiie letters show Greeley oftentimes
worried, sometimes furious, and attimt
alt'Sst wild. It was during th© long and
tedious contest that ended in the election
of Banks to the speakership in the win¬
ter of 1850. Greeley was then working
; with might and main for Banks. • Gajoi
ery, argument, persuasion, every known
inducement was used to win over mi he
rents to the Banks party. Sometimes a
member would be recalcitrant. Then
Greeley would attack him in the paper
After a time he would yield, and lie won
for Banks. Not knowing this, Mr. Dana
at home, perhaps, would continue to stab
him artistically in the paper. He would
j see this and fly into a rage, curse The
Tribune, and swear be would never vote
for Banks. Greeley in despair would
write:
Dana—I Khali have to quit here or die unless you
slop ultaeliing peop.o without eoasulUni- me.
After the election of Banks, Greeley
writes of somebody who ia probably still
I alive, as Mr. Dana does not give his
| name:

Nights, and n great dual true* ilc bus (lout: more
and incurred more odium to elect liauks than
would have been involvtnl in beating ten speakers
It is odd to note the uncertainty and
slowness of the mails between New York
and Washington thirty years ago. We
note, too, that Greeley was anxious and
felt ill used as a callow beginner in jour¬
nalism when his letters were not printed
immediately. One of his maxims was
this: "Never waste ammunition on those
who have already committed suicide.”
Greeley wrota of the paper’s southern
policy:
l charge j-oa above all things not to allow any
tiling to get in which seems impelled by hatred of
the south or a desire to humiliate that section.
One of the letters begins: "Dana, for
God's sake, speak the truth to me.”
The National Guards have never beet,
in better shape than they are at present.
Congress apportioned §100.090 for militia
expenses among the states according t<>
population this year, and the citizen sol
iliers in some of tiie states are making
good use of it.
A member of the medical staff of the
Chicago insane asylum thinks that death
would be better for women than being
sent to that as;, lum.
The number of national banks is now
3.179, ail increase of 54 in tho past year.
The increase has been mostly in the
southwest. The capital invested in na

Biciiiop, the Mind Header.
The Society for Psychic Research have
admitted that occurrences take place
which cannot be accounted for bv tho
ordinary laws of matter. Bishop, the
mind reader, so called, gave the best
proof in modern times that there are
facts lieyond the ken of the ordinary five
senses. Bishop always said that he per
formed his feats in a semi-hypnotic con¬
dition.
Ilis mind reading was more properly
thought transference. If an article was
hidden anywhere, in the house in which
he was or out of it. Bishop, blindfolded,
and grasped 1 bv the wrist bv the man
* *
who , , luJ , the article , or one of Ins . accorn
pliers, would walk directly to the spot
and find it. In Boston bo drove a cat’¬
riage, blindfolded, through the streets
for several squares in quest of the hid¬
den object and found it.
Th© only condition' he made was that
the ix'i son who grasped his wrist should
keep his mind on each step of the
road to tho hidden thing, leading gra.ln
ally, mentally, to tho thing itself. Bv “
transference of nervous or psychic in¬
fluence from his leader to Bishop, tho
latter, remaining quit© passive mentally,
was drawn ou till lie found the article.
This and like feats were called muscle
reading bv main Bishop always said
that anybody could do them. It is a
fact that in a company of half a dozen
persons there will generally be found
one or more who accomplish these facts.
But latterly Bishop lias succeeded in
somo of Ilia performances without any
physical contact at all Ho has np
preached the sphere of a real mind
r °ader. It was in accompiisuing his
most marvelous feat, reading a thought
without physical contact, that be at lout
met his death.
For some time he has been subject _ to
Cataleptic seizures, At tho close of the
greatest triumph of lus life, he was taken
with one of these attacks and never re
covered. His irregular habits of life may
have hastened his end. Ho was of a
superlatively fine and sensitive nervous
temperament, exactly the organization
that cannot endure alcoholic stimulants
or excesses of anv kind. Butdlishop put
no chock upon himself. His health was
•BiCi rtain, and if is said ho was insane
for a time. lie was only 11 years old at
Iris death.
Tho summing up of his case must bo
that ho undoubtedly manifested powers
which science cannot account for at pres
ent.
Beautify the Earth.
Hero in America wo have destroyed
much of tho original beauty nature put
into the landscape, and have not replaced
it with the beauty of civilization. The
scarred, yawning face of tho earth in
places where man has wounded it and
left it makes tho landscape unsightly
throughout our whole country. “
The sense of the beautiful should
least prompt us to make our door yards
lovely. It is the time of year for this.
Tho living green of our own native blue
grass waits to be transplanted to spots
which man and woman have rendered
hideous.
In great cities a door yard is a luxury.
But in towns and villages it belongs to
almost every home, however lowly. If
you have it, niako it a thing of beauty.
Gather no tho rubbish over it, every
scrap, and put it where nobody will ever
SCO it Level off the vard, loosen its sur
face and cover it with tho over glorious
emerald sod. In one corner plant a
clumpof old fashioned liinc bushes. Tiie
children will carry tho perfume of the
lilac blossoms in their hearts along past
many a iveary milestone on the du: •y
road of life after you are dead and buried.
Plant roses, too, and other flowers, but
not so many as to obscure the emerald
grass.
Plant trees and vines. Have shade
and greenness and bright coloring all
about your home, though it be a rented
cabin of one room. Teach your children
to make their school house yards fifaiuli
ful, too.

Two characteristics mark tiie Russian
people: an intense reverence for the czar,
and an idolizing adoration for tho mere
picture of any royal or sacred personage.
While visiting Kieff, Mr. Morrison, an
English lawyer, entered a telegraph of¬
fice.
As he passed through the door, he gave
tho usual continental salute by raising his
hat; but be had advanced only a few
steps within the room, when a loud shout
bade him take off his hat. The English¬
man went up to the shouting official, and
apologized for his unintentional rudeness.
j “It is not for me, sir,” replied theclerk.
“It is for tho emperor,” and he pointed
over hi3 shoulder to an unflattering col
ored picture of his majesty Alexander

The Gum to Chew.
It is a good plan for those who wish to
improve their throats to chew pure spruce
:r.nu, pine gum or that of the compass
wood of the western prairies, for the ex¬
ercise of the jaws develops the throat,
and the resinous qualities of the gum
strengthen digestion. 1 don't mean to
recommend the habit of chewing gum,
is practiced U Its devotees, but there
xvr was nil unsightly Iiabit which had
3 12 ich to be said for it. Rank dyspep¬
tics, with the coating eaten off their
stomachs, as the doctors say, find relief
to their oravi, ;s by chewing pure spruce
gum. and all agree that the lungs are
; a:tt‘’l- for it. The compound of pa ratline
and sw stuff sold for gum has nothing
j to roeem ier.d it.—Bt. Louis Republic.
