Some Intere«tliiff Facts Abont the Con
gressional Contest In the Black District—
How Nmnlls Was Beaten.
(Stanhope Saras in ths August* Chron ic.)
A few days ago I had the pleasure of
meeting James Singleton, one of the
colored members from Berkeley county
in the Legislature of 1882—and an in
teresting and powerful factor in the re
cent contest in the Seventh district be
tween Col. William Elliott and Roliert
Smalls, That fierce political race is
fresh in the recollection of all, and it
will be remembered that Colonel Elliott
entered the field against his expressed
inclination, and yielded his pleasure and
nt to the wishes of his party.
Seventh district had l»een a Ivepub-
hcan stronghold since the days of Fed
eral occupation, and in 1882 lutd sent a
Republican, E. W. M. Mackey, to Con
gress by an overwhelming m
Mackey dipd in 1883, and Roliert Si
a colored Republican, was elected to fill
the auexpikhl term. In 1884 Smalls was
returned to Congress, defeating Colonel
Wm. Elliott, the,nominee of the Demo
crats. In this election the Republican
majority had been considerably dimin
ished, but not enough to afford any hope
for the Democrats in the next election.
It was under such advene circum
stance.*, and in the teeth of despair, that
Colonel Elliott wm tendered the Demo-
j rratic nomination in 1 HN<>. He had no
dei in) for a second sacrifice, but yielded
' to the Molicitatiou of his party, who be-
| lieved him the only man in the district
I that could lead the “forlorn bopc.” His
1 victory is well known, and to tiiaf vielo-
‘ tt do ouc contributed more than Ji
’ rfinghfi n, of St. Stephen's pariah,
♦Wfkriey county.
Singleton favored me with a short
! sketch of his own political career. He
received no furber education than a
brief course at • country school, and
what be has orfaieved has been doe to
their force of character, aided of course,
by thf peculiar power held by the Ue-
C ahtirau party in his county, la 1882-88

HOW THEY PLAYED IT

(From ths Milwaukee Wiioonmn.)
If tiie dramatist who declared n quar
ter of a cycle a^o that “much villainy
may be vented in a pudding,” liad stood
with n Wisconsin reporter near the
vacant lot at the corner of Grand avenue
and Ninth street, yesterday afternoon,
he would have added: "Much humor
may tie vented in three little colored
boys and two little white boys playing
ball.” The game was a side issue to a
game in which larger boys were engaged
m the other uart of tne field. The
largest white boy, who wore a tight
plush corduroy suit, and the largest
colored boy 'were at the bat, playing
against the other three. The next largest
colored boy waq catcher, while a woolly
headed, sable-skinned youngster twirled
the sphere for the outside, aud a diminu
tive white Iwy played tbe bases, short
stop and fielders* positions. A still
smaller colored boy gamliolod around
home-plate and behind the catcher, get
ting generally iu the way.
The white hoy in corduroys went to
the bat as the reporter come on the
scene. The pitcher naked him where he
wanted it, and when he soul, “High
hall," threw it aud struck the hatter on
the foot. The catcher said “Dead hull.”

The moon story, which appeared in
the fall of 1835, in the columns of the
New York Sun, was the most gigantic
newspaper hoax ever perpetrated. It
was known that Bir John Herschel had
gone to the Cape of Good Hope, to
make observations with the now instru
ments of extraordinary power^ Thep
there appeared a series of papers de
scribing what Sir John had discovered.
They purported to be copied from the
pages of a supplement to the Edinburg
(Scotland) Journal of Science, exclusive
copies of which hod been received at the
Son office.
- It was known that the atmosphere of
tha Capeot Good Hope is unequalled
for purity, and ot course has a corre
sponding facility of astronomical ob
servation, Utd wnen'it was stated, that
nobody among as could undertake to
deny, especially as it was said to be con
firmed by actual observation, that the
great object glass of the astronomer’s
chief telegraph was n lens of seven tons
weight, no great wonder was felt if the
results from its use were unexampled.
It was said, then, in the alleged report
of the “great discoveries,” that so great
was the magnifying power of this in
strument (42,000 times) that it could
impart to object* at the distance of the
moon a degree of vixibilitf equal to that
enjoyed by objects oif bur earth hot
more than one hundred yards off. This
put it within St. John’s power to view,
not only the larger class of natural ob
jects in the moon, but to see with e*

certainly there was widespread defection
in the rank* of the Repuolicana in the
Seventh district. Tbe strength of that
party, indeed the life of .the party, and
the party itself, was in the colored
voter*. Smalls was a colored representa
tive, and they looked at him as a friend
in places where he could benefit hi* own
race. This, they dnimed, he always
failed to do, and represented his con
stituents only in color.
In the words of one of the disaffected,
Smalls “had grown too heavy for the
party to carry,” and the party “had to
drop him.” On one oocosion, speaking
to a voter who was working against him,
Smalls is said to have exclaimed: “The
lean dog can’t stand by the fat dog,”
aud struck his hand on his pocket for
emphasis. Such a representative mast
be defeated, and he went down beneath
the weight of indignation his actions
and his neglect had brought upon him.
It is said that Smalls helped to defeat
himself by his candid recognition of the
probity and honor of Colonel Elliott.
Small announced from the (tamp that
Colonel Elliott was in every way fitted
for the place, and that his own (Smalls’)
legal representative in Beaufort. What
ever may be tbe result of the contest
over the scat in Congress, it appears
evident that outside of fraud practiced
by either party, Colonel Elliott beat
Smalls by just and onpurchased votes.

I know one, and I would lika-te aee the

those mothers who pride themselves ou

keep a constant eye on their servants,
oan only be beat from the strictest rules
of propriety in the household bv house

this dear, old-fashioned school up town
who has a very pretty servant maid, a
very tempting servant maid, who always
gets served first in the morning, and has
all the tradespeople interested in the
house. The milkman tries to come late,
so he may find her, and the bntterman
is wild about her, and the butcher some
times comes himself to see that the meat
is all right. Those advantages have not
been lost upon the lady of tbe house,
but she is a stickler for propriety. Bo,
when, the other morning, she found the
butcher’s boy kissing the pretty servant
maid, she was shocked. She wrote a
note to the butcher and told him if he
conljln’t sqnd a boy who behaved ‘ him

of customers and she’dget her moat else
where. At breakfast she spoke about it
“Well; mamma, you’d better write to
the butterman, too. He kisses her every
morning,” said the daughter of the
house.
“What? The butterman, too?”
“Certainly. I saw him yesterday morn

Borne years ago there was s count
gentleman in Derbyshire who met
terrible reverses, and was bereft of wife
and son, only a daughter about twelve
years of ago being Taft him, relates n
writer in Cassell's Magazine for Deoans-
ber. \ neighbor sent a few chairs and
a couple of beds into an empty cotta
*o that the father and child might hi
a roof over their heads, but could do no
more, though she would have gladly
have kept the little girl, who, however,
insisted that she most be at home in the
new house to welcome hex father, and
make him as comfortable ss she could.
The only possession she hod
was a small rosewood workbox,
hod belonged to her dead mother, and
when left alone to await her father’s re
turn from the county town, she opened
her workbox and sat down with her
needle like a little old woman. It
warm autumn afternoon when she thus
settled herself, but in the course of an
hour a heavy rein came on, which lasted
