Through inadvertance we have failed to notice the appearance of the Topeka (Kansas) Tribune, which sprang full-armed from the ruins of the Herald of Kansas. The Tribune is owned and edited by E. H. White, Esq., i graduate of Obcrlin College, and a gentleman of fine literary attainments. Mr. White is a valuable accession to colored journalism. The Tribune has a refreshing tone of Independence about it, and it is spicy and readable. We wish it success. From present indications the colored press convention at Louisvillo on the 24th of August, will be largely attended by the colored editors throughout the country. This meeting cannot bo otherwise than produtivo of great good to the profession. Every colored newspaper in the country should be represented.

CH ASTINE COXI The Freeman's Journal (St. Louis) joins the maudlin gang of sentimentalists who made a fruitless effort to save the brute Chastine Cox from the gallows, and who are now abusing everbody who refused to join in the disreputable business. GoverCornell deserves the thanks all the people irrespective color, for the manly firm nor of of ness with which he discharged his duty in this case. A few self-styled leaders had tried to create the impression that the Colored people of the Country were demanding the pardon of Cox, but Governor Cornell punctured tho fraud by sending the villian to the gallows, where ho received the desert of his crime. Some of our readers may not bo familiar with the facta in this case. They are simply thes; Cox made a clandestine entrance to tho residence of Mrs. Hull, as he confessed, for the purpose of robbery. Finding that Mrs. Hull had been awakened, and discovored his presence A he bound gagged and blind-folded her, in which condition she was found dead tho next morning. Suspicion at first fell upon her husband wjth whom Mrs. Hull was not on good terms. Mr. Hull was arres.

ted, and subjected to tho painful

oraeal ox a grand jury investigation from which he was extricated by the arrest, and confessiou ofJCox,who was tried and convicted mostly on his a i ? vr x l I own testimony, just reion ua eyer been assigned for a communication oi me sentence. Ane oniy piea . Mai m i . l . l . i was that Cox did not intend to murder Mrs. HulK In our opinion con cealment of his crime was the only consideration that influenced Cox. He cared precious little whether Mrs. Hull was dead or alive so that he was safe with his plunder. Had Mrs. Hull survived tho brutal treatment we should still think the world too small to contain such a villian as Cox. tub first QUNa. The early elections occur this year in Alabama. Arkansas ana Jiaino in m m m m mm V the order named. Not much signify cence attach? s to the first two, for thoy will undoubtedly go Democratic, though the Greenbackers are making a desperate enort to carry AlaDama. sm a General Weaver, their candidato for . , f , . President, has taken tho held in permm mm m son anQ 8 making a vigorous canvass, , . . ... , but it is idle to suppose that a State which has been so thoroughly Pernoflj Alauama . . , past five years, is going to burst the Solid South by electing the Greenback ticket right in the beginning of the oanvfta. Alarmmn. vntna Af nnAuv n1 I Tuesday the Democracy will elevate mf their roosters. In Arkansas, so far we can learn. there is T little organized effort to defeat the Demo cratic ticket, and it will undoubtedly be successful. The most hotly contested of all the early-voting States is Maine. There the Greenbackers and Domocrats have united on a State and electoral ticket, and instead of the contest being a tri i . anguiar one as it was last year a1 - i i I "xo PPinS noai now aiviae upon tho line of RePablican and anti Jlennhliran. or Fnainniat Infi.. r-: 1 "" "vv" 7 - A 1 A 1 . I comprising tne umtea uemocrats ana Nationals. The campaign will bo es pecially warm and interesting in Maine, because last year the Repub licans lacked several votes of having a majority over tho combined voto of the opposition candidates. Tho fact that the State was so evenly divided between the Republican and anti-He-puuniu, tuus uisciosing a ngniing cuance ior tue success ot the latter, if t ... combined, no doubt led to the amal gamatton of the opposition ticket. The Republicans will put forth un usual efforts to secure the few hun dred Votes necessary to give them a clear majority ot all tho votes cast, . J . . . ' thus securing the election Of their State and electoral ticket; while the Fusionists will no doubt make super human efforts to retain the small numerical majority which their united vote showed last year, which would give to'them the State and electoral tickets, the latter to be divided between Hancock and Weaver by the arithmetical character which designates two units. The tact that Maine is the home of the"PlumedKnight,"lends additional interest to tho contest. If anybody makes tho mistake of supposing that James G. Blaine is going to allow tho State of Maine to be carried by the Fusionists without making a tremendous effort to hold her to her ancient Republican moorings, then that person makes the egregious mistake of supposing that James G. Blaine is not James G. Blaine, but somebody else, a very absurd supposition, and certainly one not safe to bet any money on. i An impartial review of the situation in the Pine Tree Stite, seems to indicate that the Republicans will be successful there. They have the increasing prosperity of the times in their favor, and then tho opposition must rest under the odium of having made a trade, which fact will cause them to lose some votes. Wo know the Fusionists are making an aggressive fight, but we incline to the opinion that Maine will hold fast to her Republican moorings. But the first early contest of great national significance comes to a conclusion in October, and the scene of action is right' here in our own Stato. Indiana is the pivotal State. It is really here that the Presidential contest is to be decided. Whichever party carries Indiana, goes into the November contest with a decided advantage over the other. Both parties recognize this fact, and we are now on the eve of a tremendous contest, fruitful of momentous results. WHAT THE LEADEB THINKS. That Dr. Tanner is hungry. That there ought to bo a law to punish campaign liars. That there will be some lying done in this campaign. r That the Afghans rather Zulu ized the English at Candahar. That the selection of a few colored Congressmen from strong Northtrn Republican districts would be an

AVuiiit. f,v,r vPr ftrrn a retr.ortM ur.A hvod on Athon well-known colored man who street died, after a lingering illness, with con sumption. He left a wife and two children and these, as he thought, in very good circumstances. He owned good property, con sisting of several lots, and held a life insur ance policy of $2,000 There wa a $600 mortgage on his property, but he was contented to think that, at his death, the insurance policy would be sufficient to lift the mortgage, and still leave a sum of money large enough to provide for the comfort of his family. Soon after his death his wife presented the policy for payment, but from some cause or other she has not received one cent up to this date. Being unable to keep up the interest on the mortgage, it was foreclosed about three months ago, and she was forced to give up her home, bince that time it has been rented to a widow lady who is a seamstress About a month aco the ladv who rents the property stated to several well known parties that a strange man had been seen on the E remises, and that he had even entered the ouse and departed without speaking or be ing spoken to.- l his an occurred auer night. The description she gave ot the personal appearance and actions of the strange visitor exactly corresponded to that of the deceased former owner of tne property. This story was told to the widow of the deceased, but, as she does not believe in the return of departed spirits, the story was dis credited and no attention paid to it. Finally, shChad occasion to visit her for mer home on Athon street, and soon after she had entered, the lady of the house asktd her if her- husband had settled up all of his business, satisfactorily to him. self, previous to his death; and, after being informed that ho had, and that he died in the belief that his family would be well provided for, she related to the widow all that she had seen and heard about the premises. The atorv beiner told so straightforward, and the personal description and peculiar actions of tne strange visitor corresponamg so precisely with the deceased, that it naturally awakened an interest in tho mind of the widow. The lady tenant stated that he had repeatedly come into the house, walked up stairs to a closet, and, finding lady's wearing apparel in a closet used by him for other purposes, he would throw the clothes upon the floor and then walk out. The widow of the deceased says that this was one of her husband's peculiarities; things found out of their place were always displaced by him and thrown in any direction. Many other transactions of the supposed apparition were told by the lady of . 1 a V tne nouse, anu ine impression maae upon tne widow was decidedly in favor of the ghost theory. Two ladies stopping at the house corroborate the statements of the landlady, fcnd several persons have been invited to visit the house and keep watch on the nights usually selected by this nocturnal visitor for his uninvited calls; but, from a lack of courage or some other cause, none have accepted the in. vitation. It should be stated here that the ladies who claim to have been witnesses to the transactions of this colored ghost are white, and it is not altogether a "Darky Ghost Story." It is given to the public lor what it is worth, and for further particulars the family can easily be found on the short street of Athon. Uncle Remus en Witches. Joel C. narrU New Book.

The result of this was that Uncle Remus had to take the little boy by the hand and go with him to ten ' big house, ' which the old man was not loth to do; and when the child went to bed he lay awake a long time ex pectmg an unseemly visitation irom some mysterious source. It soothed him, however, to hear the strong, musical voice of his sable patron, not very far away, wrestling, so to speak, with a lusty tune; and to this accom paniment the little boy dropped asleep: "Hit's eighteen hander'd, forty-en-elgbt, Christ don made dat crooked waj straight En I don't wanter atay her no longer; Hit'a eighteen hnnder'd, fortj-en-nine, Christ dona turned dat water inter wineEn I don't wanter stay here do longer." Dishonesty of French Servants. Parts Letter to Philadelphia Telegraph. An American lady died in a private hospital in Paris. She was well-to-do in the world, possessed a handsome wardrobe and no inconsiderable amount of jewelry. When her trunks were forwarded to her friends every article of any value had disappeared. There was not a piece of jewelry of any kind to be found, not even her watch. All smaller articles, such as laces, handkerchiefs stockins, etc., were missing. Some hours nad undoubtedly been permitted to elapse beteen the time of her death and that of the affixing of the seals, and the time had been made good use ot. Then there was a case that showed an audacity at pilfering altogether uncommon, even en the part of a French servant, which took place at one of the fashionable Parisian hotels some time ago. An American lady, who was in delicate health, but who was by no means considered an in. valid either by her friends or herself, died suddenly from some malady of the heart during the temporary absence of her husband in America. This lady possessed a head of hair of unwonted luxuriance and beauty, the long, thick tresses when loosened falling almost to the floor when she ctoodup, although she wo by no means a ehort woman. When the body was prepared for interment a few hours after her sudden demise, every vestige of this marvellous hair had disappeared, and it was with difficulty that a friend of the family who was present contrived to secure a lock of sufficient dimensions to fill a locket as a relic for the absent husband. Suspicion naturally pointed to the favorite French maid of the deceased as the perpetrator of this audacious and sacrilegious theft, but there was no positive proof of her guilt. There were other persons who had access to the room where the body lay, and the verdict, as is usual in such cases when occurring to Americans abroad, was no redress. Cardinal satin belts with a gold edee are pretty when worn with either black or white gowns,

"Darwin Is right," said an awkard youtn "There are moments which come to the young man who does'ut know what to do with his hands, when he longs to climb a tree and be a monkey, and throw nuts at the old bipeds In the front eeats. Man has never really tasted the benefits of true fredom slnoe he was monkey." Mrs. Garfield Is reported to have hal the pleasantest sort of a compliment paid to her by her husband. He Is quoted as saying that In all the ups and downs of a kaleidoscopic political life she has never once dropped a careless word which could be in any way used to his disadvantage. He takes her Judgment upon many things. We hear by a private letter, says the Hartford (Conn.)Courant, that George Eliot and her husband are now In Venice, and may often be seen together on the piazza, where the novelist appears ola enough to be her husband's grandmother, say ths Italians. We are also pained to read that Mr. Cross fell into the Grand Canal the other day from a window in the secoad story of the Hotel Europa, but was fished out by the gondoliers without damage.

And when Mrs. Liver, more makes up her list of "superfluous women" she leaves Mrs. Bartlett out every time.

He holds that the loss of reason lands the sufferer from a sea of trouble into one of comparative calm often Into oaso' decided happiness ; and attempts to restore such a per son to sanity would be cruel rather than kind. Moreover, he insists that without a certain amount of Insanity, success in life, In the ordinary acceptation of the term, Is quite im possible. All eminent men, he contends, are decidedly more or less mad. Many of them are dangerous monomaniacs whom It would be desirable on public grounds to shut up, but who nevertheless achieve grand careers, and are credited with doing a vast amount of good. Tills false notion be attributes to the fact that the greater mass of mankind are also insane, and quite unable to distinguish between good and evil.

The Atlantic Monthly tells the story of the last descendant of the celebrated navigator

who gave his name to this continent. She was a handsome and well educated Italian lady who called herself America Vespucci. She came to this country daring Van Buren's'td-
