regretted that the colored candidate for constable was defeated, but the fact that he
was beaten by a
change of only six
teen votes should put at rest the hue and cry, raised by the democratic organ to catch votes, that republicans will not vote for a colortd man. As well say they would not vote for a white man because Lawrence Burget was not elected. Perhaps the Gazette, while it is accustomed to it, will explain how it happened that the Irish candidates on its ticket iell so far behind their comrades in defeat. The colored candidate was defeated by thirty-two votes, while an Irishman who was democratic candidate for magistrate fell
behind a candidate tor the
same position. Another Irishman, candidate for constable on the democratic ticket, fell behind a candidate for the same position on the same ticket 414 votes, which is not a very grand display of the love of the democratic party for the most faithful element in its composition. The Gazette also cites the case of a color' ed man who was a candidate for constable in Lost Creek township on the republican ticket, but who was defeated. Well, he was not the only republican defeated on his ticket. Two others, out of a total of five, went down with him. He received 149

The Boston Transcript saje: "If the scheme now being quietly agitated in influential banking and political circles in New York obtains even a fair prospect of ultimate success, it will have a most important effect upon business and speculation in this country. It is proposed

per cent, per

We have reason to believe this plan is not only being worked up in New York and Boston, bat is before cabinet circles in Washington." Secretary Folger admits that he has received such a proposition from a prominent banking firm, but that nothing has been done farther than a proposition.
without
careful conoideration, because the bill was not returned to the Senate until the last moment. Tbe fsilure of the president to sign it is said to be the
of a
strong and persistent opposition on the part of the secretary of stale and attorney general, tbe latter of whooi presented to the cabinet at its Inot meeting a carefully prepared papei showing the bill to be a violation of the treaty stipulations, which view was sustained by Secretary Frelinghuysen.
It
is said some members
favored its being signed on the ground of expediency, but their counsel was of no avail. The bill has been returned to the senate, with the request that some other means be found to restrict immigration, at the same time declaring its provisions undemocratic. What course will now be pursued by congress is mere guess work. Some of the ardent
Chinese haters declare
that they can secure tho required twothirds vote to pass it over the veto, but no one believes any such assertion. It is quite likely the whole matter will be reconsidered, and the time of restriction be considerably shortened. If this is done it is believed the president would offer no objections to it. As the matter now stands the president certainly deserves credit for the courage he has dis" played in vetoing a bill which he clearly believes to be a violation of treaty stipulations, even though popular clamor demands its passage.

That the pauper, the imposts and the fraud of every description, carry off at least one-half of all charity, public and private, and hence there is a constant and deplorable waste in the alms-fund of every large city. 4.
That by far the larger part of all that is given, even to the honest poor, in the name

Michigan's Mineral Wealth. Michigan is rapidly coming to the front as a metal producing State. Its ier mines probably now rival thosj "U and their output duringthe past i.. V. Ji- tliM year is said to be in excess of any of th* other copper districts of the world. The yield of »U the copper mines

placed at about 84,000 tons of mineral, possessing a value of about $10,000,000. Tn this connection, it is worthy of remark that all of the Lake Superior copper is not an ore, but a pure metal, which is ready for the market as soon as it is taken from the mine. This copper is especially noted for its tenacity, and, for uses where this quality is particularly desirable, it commands a high price. As an iron-yielding State, Michigan has ranked for several years as second only to Pennsylvania in the quality of ITS ore, while being first in the value of its product. It & now thought, however, that last year this
State
was in reality tho
largest ERE producing commonwealth in the country.
The product of its mines
in that year was a total
of
2,321,316 tons,
while in 1880 the out-put of the Pennsylvania mines was but 2,185,675 tons of ore. The mining papers of this State are now rejoicing over the fact that the mines of Michigan have already produced over 330,000 tons of ingot copper, and over 17,000,000 tons of ingot iron ore, representing a value of over $275,000,000, and that the net earnings

Bulls and Bears.
The etymology of the term "bear" is believed to be this: When a dealer in stocks, or for that matter in merchandise, had sold more than he was capable of delivering he was naturally bare of the article, and it was naturally his interest that prices should fall in order that he should cover his engagements and be no longer bare. From the adjective, the transition to the substantive of the same sound (bear) was easy. The growling bear being thus embodied, his antitype, the bull, was not long making an appearance. It is somewhat curious to find in the popular mind a diffused notion that bulb are the more virtuous creatures. This is sometimes a fallacy. The bull is usually a speculator who proposes to gain merely by market fluctuations, and to fish in troubled waters. The real investor, for instance, is often a bear in spirit because he awaits an opportunity to buy cheaply. The cotton manufacturer who contracts to sell cloth is in spirit a bear of yarn and other materials, which he requires to buy cheaply—that is, unless he has already bought too much of such materials, in which case he has over-traded. Some amount, of speculations is no doubt good, wholesome, and necessary in business. It is only when the one party is much overpowered by the opposing party that mischief results. For years past the bulls have had their own way in France, being able to borrow money with singular fecility, until a few months ago, when the aspect of things began to show signs

to
mix, in cups or saucers, different strengths of the colors for the several washes. Darker shades should be put on first, so that the lighter may be blended into them. If the light colors are washed first the dark shades run into them, and may probably spread too far, and when such is the case there is no chance of complete alteration. Being dyes the colors cannot
be
removed the
work must in consequence be proceeded with carefully. A tint, if not allowed
ficient color should be mixed at once with an entire wash. If a .portion is commenced, and the worker has to leave off to mix more, he will find that a hard line is left on the canvas by the abrupt interruption, whioh there will be some difficulty in getting rid of. Especially with the sky is this precaution important. Several hues should be mixed before commencing to lay on, that each may be blended into the other as occasion demands.
Good Advice.
Statistics kept by oculists employed in infirmaries for eye diseases have shown that the habit of some persons in facing a window from which the light falls directly in the eyes, as well
as on
the
work, injures the eyes in the end. The best way is to work with a side light, or, if the work needs strong illumination, so that it is necessary to nave the work before the window, the lower portion of the latter should be covered with a screen, so as to have a top light alone, which does not shine in the eyes when the head is slightly bent over and downward toward the work.
Germany this matter
has already been attended to, and the rule adopted to have all the seats and tables so arranged that the pupils never face the windows, but only have the side light from the left and, as alight simultaneously thrown from two sides gives an interference of shadows, it has Deen strictly forbidden to build school-rooma with windows on both sides, such illumination having proved injurious
to
the eyes of the pupils. We may add to this advice not to place the lamps in front of you when at work in the evening, but a little on one side and never to neglect the use of a 6hade, so as to prevent the strong light shining in the eves. This is especially to be oonsiderea at the present time, when kerosene lamps, with their intensely illuminoua flames, have become 80 common. 1
Napoleon in Italy.
Nothing coiUd be more unlike the idea my imagination had formed of him. In the midst of a numerous^ staff I saw a man below the middle height and of an extremely- spare figure. His powdered hair, oddly cut, and falling squarely below the ears, reached down to bis shoulders. He was dressed in a straight coat, buttoned up to the chin, and edged with very narrow gold embroidery, and he wore a tricolored feather in nia hat. At first sight he did not strike me
handsome: but his strongly marked features, his quick and piercing eyes, his brusque and animated gestures, revealed an ardent spirit, while his
wide
and thoughtful brow was that of a profound thinker. He made me sit near him, and we talked of
Italy. He spoke
in short sentences, and, at th'at time of his life, very incorrectly.—Memoir* oj Count Miot ae MelUo.

It is now

Samuels made a highly sensational scene, attacking Little and calling all manner of corses down on him for having conspired to betray his leader. The Coroner's jary returned a verdict of murder in the first degree against Ford, and the authorities of Bachanan county refuse to give him up.
The'body of Jesse Jamee will probably be taken to tbe old farm near Kearney, Clay county, for burial. fir
The confirmation of James' death has created a profound sensation in western Missouri, and farmers near this place and Independence, who have not been in this place for years, rode into town this morning in the rain, to investigate the rumor. Some denounce Ford as an assassin, whose only object was blood money, while
others excuse
him upon the ground of expediency. The Governor will not go to St.
Joseph,
but will return to Jefferson' City to-night, where some steps will be taken to protect Ford, who is thought to be in danger from the friends of the dead robber. The Hannibal &
