RUM FOR AFHICA.
Consul Strickland, writing from Gore-
Dikii, Afrioa, to the State Department, Germans
calls attention to the way the
are absorbing the African trade. They
have a line of steamers running from
Hamburg to the coast, and are pushing
the English close on account of the ex¬
treme cheapness of their goods. offered “Ham¬
burg alcohol,” he says, “is at
thirty-two cents per gallon, and forms
the basis of most of tiie sparkling bev¬
erages with which the Simon-pure Afri¬
can loves to regale himself. It is sur¬
prising to see the enormous quantities of
rum, gin and alcohol which block up the
wharves w hen a steamer comes in. One
can scarcely conceive where so much vile
stuff goes t,o, but the capacity of the
unrectittcd African to absorb into his na¬
ture this kiud of rectified spirit is some-
thiag phenomenal. ’’
TROUBLESOME APACHES.
The Adjutant-General received the fol¬
lowing telegram from Gen. O.O. Howard,
dated San Francisco: “Gen. Miles tele¬
graphs that Capt. Picrc! reports only
sixteen men absent from San Carlos, and
that all Indians on the reservation under¬
stand that the action of a few reflects up¬
on the whole tribe, and arc anxious that
the offenders shall be captured, lie

Grant.”
BEARING FRUIT.
Geflin^ Kenily for Insurrection In the Vi¬
cinity of I'ednr Uror.-, S. C.
Reliable reports show that the negroes
in the vicinity of Cedar Grove, S. O.,
have organized themselves iuto binds,
under the guise of Knights of Labor,
and meetings are held two or three times
per week. The utmost secrecy is pre¬
served. The object, ns learned from a
member, is to kill the white man and old
women, make slaves of thechildren, and
take the women for their wives. I [cover,
the man who was shot in Georgia, has
been among the negroes in the county
andhascau-ed the organization. Other
reports say that one dollar per day will
be demanded, and also a reduction in the
prices of food and clothing. The whites
have organized a cavalry company, with
Dr. J. A Westmoreland as captaiu, and
have applied to the state for arms and
ammunition. Troublo is imminent, and
the negroes will suffer if an outbreak is
made. No quarter will be given the ne¬
groes if the outrages are commenced.
Reports from the scene of action are not
conflicting. Col. Scoffin, of the adju¬
tant and inspector general's office, has
gone up to see into the matter of organ-
izition, and it is feared that worthless
white nu n are in league with the negroes.

A BOY S CRIME-
Eilwnrd E. Thomas, of savannah, Ga.,
8luit by Ills Stepson While Aaleep.
About three years ago, Mrs. Fanny
Wingurd, a widow about 35 years of age,
living in Savannah, Ga., was married to
Ed wal’d E, Thomas, a machinist of that
city. The habits of the husband have
not been of the best, and recently’, while
on a spree, he assaulted his wife, and it
caused a boy named William Edward
Wingard, 15 years of age, a son by the
first husband, to take his life.
The story of the killing, as told
by the widow, is about as follows:
“My husband he worked all day and
came home at night about 12 o’clock. He
had been drinking, but went to bed and
went right to sleep. He got up next
morning, ate his breakfast and then went
out. He came back about eleven o’clock,
He was very full. He began abusing me.
He picked me up and attempted to throw
me out of the window, but I screamed
and he put me down. I started to run
down the steps, when he struck mo with
a broom. I came down stairs, and sat
down awhile there, then I went back up
stairs. He was lying across the foot of
the bed. He told me to leave the room.
I left the room and came down stairs and
took some berries I had over to mother
for her to make me a pie. When I got
there my sister asked me what was the
matter with my face. I told her that
Mr. Thomas had struck me with a broom.
My son was up stairs at my mother’s,
He lived there, I did riot see hibi. I came
home. Mr. Thomas was asleep on the
bed. I lay down beside him for half an
hour, when I got up and went to put on
my dinner. While thus employed my in
son came up tbe stairs with a basket
his hand, containing the pie and some
sugar. pie? I said: “Son, have you brought

the dining-room. He turned aud went
out after I took the basket, and I thought
be had gone down the stairs. When I
heard the report of a pistol, I ran out of
the door and met my son at the door with
a pistol. I said: “Oh, my God, Bosey,
wliat did you do it for?” He made no
answer, but ran down the steps, putting
tlic pistol iu his pocket.”

Excitement Among Northern Vrtrrntta
About the Presldent'o Action —I'om-
mainler-in-Utilef l olri'lii .1 Tnllia.
A few days since, at the suggestion Presi¬ of
Mr. Endicott, Secretary of War,
dent Cleveland issued an order that all
flags captured from the Confedeiate
army should be returned to the governors
of the Southern states. This action 1ms
r ised especially great opposition in of the the North,
m ire among some most
active members of the Grand Army of
the Republic, and the governors of lows,
rtaies have offidalSy pr,nested aglinsl !e-
turning the flags without some official ac-
tion by Congress,claiming that President
Cleveland exceeded his powers.
A t a meeting held in New Haven,
Conn., Commander in-Chief Fairchild of
the G. A. B. said: “Since 1807 the
Grand Army has been a friend of the
South. We have no sort of hate or nml-
ice against our old foes anywhere and are
ready to extend them the right hand of
fellowship. Notwithstanding all this, I
most emphatically assert that the South-
ern States have no manner of right to
take from us relics of the late rebellion in

It should be stated that only about one-
8urv i v i n g veterans of the
Northern states are members of the G. A.
R. Take for instance Massachusetts: out
of 70,000 veterans still in the flesh, res-
ident in that state, only 15,000 are mem-
bers of the G. A. R.
President Cleveland revoked his order,
sending the following to the War Do-
partment: “I have to-day considered
with more care than when the subject
was an orally presented one, theactionof
your department directing letters to be
addressed to the governors of all the
states offering to return, if desired, to
loyal States of the Union, flags captured Con-
during the war of the rebellion, recovered by
federate forces, aud afterwards
by government troops; and to the Con-
federate States, flags captured by Union
forces, all of which, for many years, have
been packed in boxes and stored :n the
cellar and the attic of the War Depart-
ment. I am of opinion that the return
of the flags in the manner thus contem¬
plated is not authorized by existing law,
nor justified as an executive act. I re¬
quest, therefore, that uo further steps be
taken in the matter except to examine
and inventory these flags and adopt
proper measures for their preservation. disposition
Any direction as to the final
of them should originate with Congress.
Yours truly,
Gkoveb Cleveland.

movements of prominent plot ters abroad,

land, have been received in London al-
most daily. The chief ports have been
watched during the same period, in view
of the airival of certain suspects,without received
previous notice having been
from British agents abroad. The move¬

in Paris, who have been very active late-

Simple, But Interesting.
To suspend a bottle from a match laid
on the edge of a table may seem an im¬
possible feat, but, says St. Nicholas , ex¬
periment will prove how easily it may be
accomplished.

HELD BY A MATCH.
Tie a piece of twine securely arouno
the neck of a bottle; then lay a match on
the cork, hold it firmly, bring the ends
of the twine over it. and tie a tight knot,
forming a loop. You may remove the
match to show that you have simply tied
a loop. Then insert the match through
the loop, rest one end on the cork, and
lay the other on the projecting edge of a
table where the bottle will swing clear of
any obstruction. If the match is but an
inch in length it will support the bottle
quite as readily and make the feat appear
all thc more surprising.

A French Story of a Toad.
It is, perhaps, open to doubt if the
toad wears the precious jewel in ita bead
of which the poet speaks; but a Frenoh
cure, a correspondent of M. Franctsqua
Sarcey’s has met with a toad whioh had
a fortune in its throat had it only fallen
in with an impresaari o. The cure jhap>
pened to call tbe other day on one of his
poorer parishioners, who, in compli¬
ment to his visitor, added a fresh pro¬
vision of fuel to the fl.e, whioh at onoe
blazed up, emitting a welcome glow.
Attracted by the warmth as it would
seem, an enormous toad emerged from
under an old chest of drawers standing
in a corner, hopped slowly up to the Are
and stationed himself in front of it like
a pet animal, which in fact he was. The
peasant after a few prefatory words,pro¬
ceeded to drone out an old Gascon bal¬
lad and sang a verse of it through. To
the abbe’s intense astonishment, tbe toad
continued, or rather added a sort of co¬
da to, the melody the raomeut his mas¬
ter stopped, singing first a la, then a fa,
returning next to the first note, and con¬
cluding on mi; the voice of the little
singer was plaintivo and musical,remind¬
ing the abbe of tbe notes of the harmon¬
ica. The peasant continued the ballad
to the end; the other amateur chiming
in regu'arly with the same four notes at
the en I of each stavo, keeping its eyes
fixed on its master throughout the per¬
formance; and evincing in its expression
and attitude a manifest desire to do its
part in the concert to his satisfaction.
Tho peasant, who was ill at the time,
1 j died soon after, and the cure, who had
meant to :idopt the other inmate of the
hut, could find no trace of him when he
went to fetch him,—[St. James Qaaette.
