'COLORED MKN IN OFFICE.
The action of tlie present admin
istration in appointing to offices a
number of representative colored
republicans, is one that will be en
dorsed by all fair-minded men.
The fact that about live times as
many colored men have been ap
pointed to office by this adminis
tration as by the last, disproves
the charge made by the democratic
party that the colored people
would receive no recognition under
the republican administration.
The following shows colored re
publicans who have been appointed
to important offices so far, and
does not include a number of ap
pointments to minor positions in
the different departments at Wash
ington and elsewhere: John R.
Lynch, of Mississippi, fourth audi
tor of the treasury, $8,600; J. M-
Townsend, of Indiana, recorder of
the general land office, $2,000;
Robert Smalls, of South Carolina,
collector of customs at Beaui'ord,
S. C, $1,000 and fees. Frederick
Douglass, of the District of Colum
bia, minister to Ilayti, $5,000; N.
Wright Cuney, of Texas, collector
of customs at Galveston, Texas,
$4,500; James Henley, of Alabama,
register of the land office at Hunts
ville, Alabama, $3,000; N. II. Alex
ander, of Alabama, receiver of the
land office at Montgomery. Ala
bama, $3,000; J. H. Patty, of
Louisa n a, naval ojcer of customs
for the district ot JNew Orleans,
Louisana, $5,000; John J. Spell
man, of Mississippi, special agent
f the general land office, $1,500
and traveling expences; George C.
Smith, of Missouri, special agent
of the general land office, $1,500
and traveling expenses: Samuel
Lee, of South Carolina, special
surveyor of the general land office,
$1,800 and traveling expenses.
This is a pretty good beginning
and it is more pleasing be
cause most of the appointments
have been given in the south where
a colored republican has little, if
any, show for recognition in poli
tics. Telegram.
THE EXECUTION OF CRIMINALS.
The Electrical Engineer does not
share the feeling expressed by
some electricians that the employ
ment of the electric current in
capital punishment would disgrace
r stigmatize their vocation. We
take the liberty, however, to point
out the following paragraph from
the report of the commission:
"Your commissioners are firmly
convinced that if the criminal
could be put to death in a certain
and efficacious manner the pur
pose of the law would be achieved
qually well as if the terrors of
death were enhanced by the inflic
tion of prolonged physical torture
before the end was finally accom
plished. . Various suggestions have
been made as to the means of ac
complishing such a result. One
has been the injection of a violent
and sudden poison, such as prussic
acid, by means of the hypodermic
needle, into the body of the con
demned, which is open to the very
serious objection that the use of
the instrument is so associated
with the practice of medicine and
as a legitimate means of alleviat
ing human suffering that it is hardly
deemed advisable to urge its ap
plication for the purpose of legal
executions against the almost
unanimous protest ot the medical
profession."
We are not told when and how
the medical proffession was polled
on the Question, but the above
paragraph clearly implies that the
suggestion of poison was satisfac
tory but for the feelings of the
doctors.
It haaalwavs seemed to us that
the question, of simple and more
humane executions could be best
met by physicians,. There is no
doubt that they could provide
simple method of poisoning which
ould' re- applied with? no expect-
Children Cry for;
ant attention on the part of the
condemned unawares, say in
sleep, if desirable, as we think it is
and which would be nearer cer
tain to inflict no conscious physi
cal suffering than any other means
hitherto suggested.
THE ONLY SOLUTION.
"I'rn so indignant that I can not
properly express my.eu; crieu

'Then put a stamp on yourself
and go by mail," was the unsypa
thetic response.
One of Ellaville's gallant young
disciples of Blackstone, finding
business in the legal profession
rather dull at this season, and
having a wife and baby to provide
for, laid away his law books,
closed his office, doffed his stand
ing collar, congress gaiters and
courthouse clothes, hauled on his
seediest garments, siezed a trowel,
and sallied forth to earn bread by
the sweat of his brow, until the
law business picked up. lie had
gotten a job of bricklaying and
earned over $100 before his friends
missed him out of town.
There is a youth in Buffalo of
an extremely taciturn disposition.
He will sit at table and never ut
ter a word from the potage to the
coffee. Even when he goes out
in company he has to make an
effort to talk. But the moment
he'drops asleep his tongue begins
to wag, and he talks all night
with scarcely a pause for breath.
The youth is thinking of buying a
phonograph to collect his brilhant
conversation by night, and to
grind it out by day for the bene
fit of his friends.
A leader of a German band in
New York shot himself with a gun
filled with water. The water
killed him. Had the gun been
filled with beer and limberger
cheese, the dose would have proba

Mrs. N. Peck I ran across one
of your old letters to-day, Nathan,
where you said that you would
rather be in endless torment with
me than be in bliss by yourself.
Mr. N. Peck Well, I guess I got
