EVANSVILLE DEPARTMENT.

Our Poll ileal 1 b bie Celebration iit and Lotljce, etc., etc. Tho news from Maine chilled the blood of every Republican. The Republicans in this District, but , more directly in this County, i rw. .it . a poor figbt. The "Demys got are mailing the bulge on them and they are keeping it. ' The Democrats aro keeping the District and city hot with meetings, but the Republicans having confidence in the glorious principles of their party and are tru&ling to those principles alone to vrin. "Well, they and their principles will both be loft, if more work is not put in the campaign. There is too much ''monkeying.'' Tho colored men m this city are getting weak on the local Republican party. The Republicans in many instances are ignoring them as effectually as if tho colored men were not with their party. Mr. Jno. D. Miller and a few others are nervy enough to speak their sentiments. For an illustration ot a complete ignore take this: Tho Republican Club have decided to organize into companies. They don't exact y know what they want, they are so rattied. A required number of white men were found to make up Company A, and the colored men were told to organize. Ihey organized two companies in one day and claimed the letters B and C. This was ob jected to by the party, and colored troops were told to step back until we have organ ized all the white companies, and they were organized and the colored troops' letters claimed, while the colored troops are called companies E and F. There is something crooked about this. At a parade of the Republicans last Sat urday night not a colored roan was found 10 the ranks. It is too true tho whites of the party aro ashamed of their colored allies. The colored rran is going to do some dam age in this campaign, lie does not expect to vote the Democratic ticket by any means, but "we shall see what we see." THE CELEBRATION. The citizens and the congregation of Liberty ßnptist Chuch propose to celebrate the 22d of September with a parade and picnic at Salt AVells. Senator Bruce has been in vited and will positively be present on this day. Edwin F. Horn, Eq., will read the Proclamation, and Rev. Alciarland gives the welcome address. AVe are certain that it will be made a success. It is also very probable that Indiana's favorite colored son, Hon. J. Sidney Ilinton, will ba here also to address his fellow citizens. "We trust that it may be the fact. The twenty-fourth annual session ot the I "Worshipful Independent Masons of Indiana, is in progress at this writing. Tho order with brains and ability will compare very

To the Editor of Tbe Leader : The Leader of the 14th inst., reached me late last night. I have read it from beginning to end and am de lighted with it. 1 have been taking it on trial nearly a year, and it is with great pleasure that I send you this expression of my appreciation of its worm, it is the only paper in camp less than a month old, and every one will read it. It is a grand achievement and reflects credit, not only on its editor and managers, but also upon the race that claims them. 1 wish you great success and assure you that I will support you to the extent of my ability, as it is the duty of every colored man in the country to do.

The interchange of ideas and opinions so judiciously fostered by the Leader is most beneficial to the race in every way. It is educating them, draining out of them what the Creator has put in them and elovatinc and ennobling them in every respect. It is a great educator. I read and study it as carefully and assiduously as I do my "Theory and Practico of Courts-martial," or any other of mv professional books.

From White to Black. Philadelphia Press. For over sixteen months past an uptown physician has been attending a case of disease that is so rare that the like of it has never been known, or, at least, recorded in medical works. It is a case of real melano sis or pigmentation, where the pigment or mfianin, as it is technically called, which gives color to the hair and eyes, pervades the whole body. A boy born ot white parents, and perfectly natural in color at h a birth, turned under tbe disease as black as a full blooded negro. It is certainly one of the most remarkable freaks of nature ever brought to light, and it will attract the atto: lion ot the entire medical fraternity of tie world. The parents live at No. 1,307 Lemon street, the father, John Salter, being a mechanic. Ihey were married in Decem ber 187C. the woman at that time twenty vears of age, and the husband twenty-eight. They are both of American birth, the wife being of English descent, and the husband of Irish extraction. Ten months after tie union of the couple, there was born to thtm a fine and apparently healthy baby boy. The infant thrived and promised to develop into a robust boy. lie was a beautiful child, with fair complexion, dark eyes, and silky, dark brown hair, which grew in profusion, When two weeks old he was taken to a promise of the youngbter. But in a few days the parents were alarmed at a remarkable change that was coming over the child. He gradually grew dark. Atfir&this skin became a pale yellow, then deepened into a saffron hue, and then, to the terror of the pa rents, grew darker yet. Ihey thought the baby was attacked with jaundice and turned to the priest for advice. The good father was astonished when told that tbe dark-skinned child before him was the beautiful, fair boy he had christened but two weeks before. He saw that the trouble was something worse than jaunUlv:t, auu auucu ius auiivicu picuu w TlVXJT. but the disea8e was Sot checked. The child , o. A , ,,,, 1 .d"kf 2 YS nnt when it was a little darker, and at th(j pam3 0f tne hands where it was lighter. Tne once flne brown hair grew still" and jet black, and the eyes also grew darker, so that the line between tbe pupils and the iris could not be distinguished. In spite of medical treatment the boy grew worse, and became very weak, all the time the color of I ti-ia cLrin loononinr at luar ha haama aa black as a full-blooded negro. Then he was 1 attacked by convulsions, wnicn grew mere frequent and violent until they threatened the child's life. . It was in one o these that Dr. Reynolds, of Eigh teenth and Poplar streets, wa, called in. He succeeded in curing the spasms and then devoted his attention to the strange disease which afflicted 'the child. He at once recognized it as melanosis or pigmen tation, which is mentioned in the books in a general way, but there is no case given where it had developed all through tbe body. This was over sixteen months ago, the child being thirteen months old. Since that time the boy has greatly improved, by degrees becoming lighter until he is now of a light chestnut-brown color. The hair has once more become brown and soft, and the eyes have regained their natural appearance. The parents of the boy are perfectly healthy, and the mother now carries at her breast a robust infant aged six months. The father is a muscular man, of medium height, with black hair and dark complexion. Ihe mother is of fair complexion, and has brown hair. Since Dr. Reynolds has had the case in cnarge the child has been visited by over two hundred physicians, who all agreed that it was a truly remarkable case. Lionels and Bats. Report of Dublin Zoological Garden. The closiDg weeks Of her Useful life Were marked by a touchine incident worthy of I tJ V being recorded.; The large cats, or carniyores, when in health, have no objection to the presence of rats in their cages. On the contrary, they rather welcome them as a reujvuvbuuj v. n3uvo "'vu etitutes the chief trial of a wild animal in confinement. Thus.it is a common sight to see halfadozen rats gnawing the bones off which vatj nous uave ainea, wane mo eaiisaeu carnivores look on contendedly, giving the poor rats an occasional wink with their sleepy eyes. In illoes the case is different, for the ungrateful rats begin to nibble the toes ot the lof d of the forest before his death, and add considerably to his discomfort. To save our lioness from this annoyance, we placed in her cage a fine little rat tan-ter ner, wno was ai nrsi received wun a suriy i a t a . . .. i "it i growl, but when the first rat appeared, and the lioness saw the little terrier toss him in the air, catching him with professional skill across the loins with a snap as he came down, ebe beean to understand what the terrier was for; she coaxed him to her side, folded her paw around him, and each night the little terrier sleet at the breast of the lioness, enfolded with ner paws, and watch ing that his natural enemies did not disturb aw w a .-a Am m a mwm a a me naiurai rest oi his mistresss.

N. P. Cause or Coincidence? From Notei and Queries. During the journey of the express train from Rio de Janeiro at San Paulo, on the 18th of last month, a large black butterfly entered a first-class car, and hovered about in such a way as to excite the apprenensions of a lady who was on her way to see a sister who was gravely ill, for it is a common Brazilian superstition that the black butter fly forebodes death.
