A Negro Mayor for Washington,
The following dispatches from the
Washington correspondent of the New
York lerald, gives some further In.
dications of the drift of the black cur
.rnout at the National capital'-'
The nxt move of the colored R
publicans of this- city is to be an of.
fort to elect of their race, John F.
Cook, s Mayor-of Washington. Cook
haajust been elected registrar, one of
the Viost important offices in the oity,
and is quite. an advaneddarkoy poe

certainly get the iomination and be
elected. It is remarked here thit
while the blackh are' clamoring for ad

level, they do not practi66' the'a 'twe'

A Peace Jubilee Two Hundred and Fifty
Years Ago.
The Boston Advertiser says:
It has just been discovered that the
great Boston Peace Jubilee is not
entirely without parallel in the histo
tory of the world as a musical under
taking. A concort very well worthy
in many respects to be mentioned in
the same day with it, ocourred near
the beginning of the seventeenth cen
tury, at Dresden, under the patronage
of the Prince Elector of Saxony. The
performance was that of an oratorio
of Holophernes. The cappellmaster
proposed to the Prince a performance
of extraordinary magnitude, and was
rewarded for the suggestion with a
gift of five barrels of beer from the
eleotorial brewery, and told to pro
ceed and execute the plan, the State
Treasury bearing all the boat.
All the musiolaqs of Germany,
Frahe, Switzerland, Italy and Po.
ladd were invited to-appear at the
appointed day in the first week of
July, 16 16, and the performers assem
bled to the number of 570 instrumen. t
talists and over a thousand singers. I
Some of the instruments of the for, i
eign musicians looked very strange to i
the Dresden people, and the oddest of <
all were described in the record. A <
Pole from Cracow, named Rtapotzky, I
brought, on a wagon drawn by eight i
mules, "a terrible double bass" four. 0
teen feet high, which could only be i
played by an artist willing to run up C
and down a ladder with his bow. The i
ingenious capellmaster cast even this f
into the shade by tying a strong ship's e
rope to the wing of a wind-mill, to be I
used as a single-stringed violin,' a big t
saw serving for a bow. Besides this a
the large copper kettles of the brewe- I
ry and a battery of the guns of the e
period were commonplace instru- p
ments. I
After a week of rehearsal the con. r
oert took place in the open air, on the I
15th of July, in the suburbs of Dres- e
3en, seats having been built in the t
rorm of an amphitheatre. The prin- I
)ipal male soloist was one Rumpler, a a
itudent from Wirtemburg, who was v
illowed free access to the public beer a
bo strengthen his powerful voice, with q
5uch excellent effect, that when his v
bass 6himed in with the instruments a
ibove mentioned, everything trem- s
e ,,a eso
pplause of the day, as she ought, for t
ihe sung artificial cadence with such c
ratal vigor that she died three days E
afterward. The greatest violilplay- o
Dr of that day, Signor Scipla, of Oro- a
mona, was also present, and gave a
ipice to the entertainments by pl
ing on his instrument while holdintit .
behindiis back.
The finale of the programe was a t
grand double fugue, representing the 1
Israelites and Assyrians engaged in a '
rurious battle, the realistic effect of t
which was heightened by the two par
ties of chorus singers throwing apples
at each other. This feature especial
ly pleased the electoral sovereign, and
he presented the cappellmaster with a
reward of fifty florins.
Boston has still something to do to
surpass all this,
AFTER-DINNER NArs.-Many per
sons are in the habit of sleeping for 1
half or an hour immediately after
dinner. This is a bad practice. Ten
minutes sleep befo~re dinner is worth '
more than. an hour after. It rests
and refreshes, and prepares the sys
tem foravigorous digestions. If sleep
can be taken after dinner, it should I
be in the sitting posture, as the hori
Isental position is unfavravble to
healthful digestion. Let those who
ne9d rest and sleep during the day
taJke it before dinner, instead of after,
and they will find that they will fe
bettier, and that their digestion 1 0
be improved thereby.

Neuno JuRIas IN IVILIA1DUo.
The following letter fron a uorres.
dent, "Kiugstree," dated June p,
give" a lively picturo of the State of
judicial affairs in one of our negro
ridden counties. There are ouly twice
ms many negro voters as white voters
in Williamsburg, but of twonty-four
juryimen only two are white:
We are now beginning to feel, In
good earnest, the .praotiopl effects of
reconstruction. Our June tertu of
the Court 6f General'Fessons began
tU session on Monday last, and of the
hirty-onc petit jurors summoned,
wonty-three negroes and eight white
nen. Of the grand jury twelve were
iegroes and seven white. Of the
r jury some five or six did not
nir appearance, but enough
6ppeared to constitute a jury. Of the
etit jury ouly eighteen appeared.
ttra jurymen had the to be drawn
'rom the bystanders, and of these,
hirteen were drawn, and all of them
vero negroes. It therefore now hap.
ens that Jury No. 1 consists of ten
egroes and two whites, and Jury No.
all of negroes-not one white man
pon it. After this jury was organiz.
d, a serious question oooxlrred to the
ourt as to who should write the ver
its of the jury in case none upon
he panel could write. It seemed to
'e agreed among the members of the
ar, that the attorney representing
he party In whose favor the verdict
iight be should write the verdict *f
ar the foreman had announced the
ading, and then let the foreman
iake his mark in the presence of the
adges. But, finally, after some in
uiries among the sable gang, his
lonor found one man who said he
ould write his name. This man was
ppointed foreman by the Judge. No
ordiot has ever yet been found by
us jury, and it yet remains to be
)on whether he can write a verdict
roperly. This is certainly a terrible
ate of things. The "bottom rail" is
nquestionably "on top." An entire
anel of negro jurors to try cases. be
reen white men! Can any county

'IHub of the Universe,' are being sad

which is to come off here next week.
It may truly and literally be said
that 'there is music in the air,' for on
every public thoroughfare, in every I
publio hall, and in numerous private
dwellings and general business head
qu.arters there are primary rehearsals
going on day and night; artillery,
wind and string instrument,, anvils
and vocal combinations are heard

sweetening harniony of noiso all
around. There was a sort of general
vocal rehearsal of about 5000 voices
in the Musio Hall this evening on
which oooasina the versatile Jubilee
Gilmore wielded the baton himself.
The rehearsals were generally confined
to the popular national airs, and such
strains as 'Hail Columbia,' 'The Star
Spangled Banner,' and the 'Harp that
Once Through Tara's Hall,' were
among those which were rendered
more loudly, more savootly and more
offeotively than they ever were before
or ever will be again, except in the
Coliseum during the five days of Ju
bilee. On the morning proceeding
the ina4guration of the Jubilee there
is to be a general rehearsal of the
whole vast chorus. Musically, finan
oially and otherwise, then, it seems
that this gigantic demonstration in
honor of winding up the great war is
to be a success. Crowds and Crowds

Melbourno Arges says that the most
frightful reports of the desolation cc
casioned in the interior of the colony1
by the severity of the drought are
continually appearing. Tihe line of
road from Wagga Wagga to Hay is
said by a late traveler to be compara
ble to nothing but the Valley of the
Shadow of Death. It it literally
strewed with the skeletons or the do
caying catcasses of wtret0hed animals
that have perished from starvation or
thirst. Horses, cattle and sheep, and
even the wild deriir,ens of the plains
kangaroos, omus and turkeys-are
lying dead in all directions, tainting
the atmosphere, and giving abundant
occupation to the,crows.
