About tho Refugees-
At a meeting of the Cooper Union,
last -week, in aid of the refugees of
the south, the colored nsin (name not
given) having charge of the movement
in St. Louis, reported that within the j
last four weeks 5,000 refugees had j
reached th:itcity. He had called up
pon Fred. Douglas, but was received
coldly by him. He then went to the
president, and Hjiyes evaded his
questions. That is the President's
method. No one can tell what he
means to do, however they may call,
and however sharp they may be in
questioning. Then the agent went to
Mr. Coirklinjj, and there he was re
ceived cordfalry; and the senator gave
him encouragement, and after that his
Tv'ork, he says, was easier. Why Fred.
Douglas should meet this agent of the
colored people (voluntary or other
wise), with the iciness of a white poli
tician of the late school, says the
Alta, is not easily explained. Is it
possible that Douglas has become
white inside, like the other patriots
who hang about 'Washington; or does
he disapprove of the action of free i
men who emigrate from a condition
worse than the old slavey from which
he, the same Fred. Douglas, fled years
ago, and was but too happy for any
assistance tendered him then ?
Only two cottages are being erec
ted at Newport for the coming season.
One owned by Mr. Philip Caswell of
Boston, founder of the New York
drug firm of Caswell, Hazard & Co.
It is in the Queen Ann style of archi
tecture, and stands in a commanding
position, surrounded by twent acres
of beautiful grounds. The cost will
be S100,000. The other new cottage
belongs to Mr. P. S. Taggart, a retired
New York merchant.
The advertising columns of the
Nebraskian are filled with rude wood
cuts of cows, each with a particular
brand on her side, and her ears
trimmed into irregular shapes. These
are the herdsmen's announcements of
the way in which their stock is marked
for identification, so that when the
'beasts get astray on the prairies, or
are stolen, they maybe readily traced.
The variety of cows ears must be great
out there, for in these pictures may be
found specimens of square, triangular,
three-pronged, and irregularly notched
ears, no cow having ears that match
each other.
, The recent breaking out of yellow
fever on a ship which, though aftccteil
.hist season, had been thoroughly fumi
gated and had moreover been sub
jected 10 the frosts and cold of the
entire winter in a northern port, is
causing much alarm throughout the
south for fear that the germs of the
dread disease have not been killed br
the winter's frosts, and a return of
the fever, earlier and more malignant
than ever may break out and sweep
the country again with the first return
of warm weather. Every possible
precaution should be taken to prepare
for such a visitation, even in the
nerth: and the work of cleansing up
cannot be begun too early, or repeated
to often.
A Baltimore man recently wrote
to Herbert Spaucer for an explana
tion of the paradoxical customs
of the Japanese, citing examples
as follews: "A piece of cord in Japan
is twisted from left to right in the
process of manufacture. A plane is
drawn toward the person using it.
The teeth of a saw are so sot that it is
tho upvrard pull that cuts. Their
hoots commence at what ue would
-call the end, turning the loaves from
loft to right, while the lines run up
and -down the page, instead of across,
.and the pages are numbered at tho
foot. Thg face of their clock moves
and the hands arc stationary. They
say it is four o'clock, meaning that it
lacks four hours of being noon, while
with us it is always so much past the
starting point." Mr. Spencer replied
that the question involves "a wider
- range than at first sight appears," but
declined to express his viev3, on the
plea of lack of time.
Subterranean Tclcgraplis
The system of subterranean tele
graph wires designed by the post- !
uTasteT-genoral of the German em- I
pi rer will be completed, according'
to present arrangements, m a year
and a half. Two lines will then
traverse the empire diagonally;
the one running from northeast to
southwest, from Konigsberg to
Strasburg, the other from north
west to southeast, from Hamburg
to Rntibor, a town in the extreme
south of Silesia. These two main
lines will cross one another in Ber
lin. In the west of the empire
a subterranean telegraph will run
in a curve from Strasburg through
Cologne to Hamburg: in the east
another lino will connect Konigs
berg with Katibor; and, finally, a
cable will traverse southern Ger
many runimig generally east and
west, though apparently the exact
route for this last telegraph lias not
yet been definitely decided upen.
When the proposed system is com
pleted, therefore, all the fort
resses and commercial towns of
any importance in Germany will
be connected to one another by
subterranean wires. The cable
first laid down, that from Berlin to
Halle, has been satisfactorily sub
jected to the severest scientific
tests.

Frank Holt is a painter, and this is so

much happiness. It isn't every town in

evidences of affection on May-day, to its
leading painters.
