It is a poor service to a colored lad to. send him to the Naval Academy, says I the Philadelphia Times. He has an equal right there, no doubt, with a white boy; but we do not get through the world by a bare assertion of rights. Nor does any ab ,tract conception of equality and the brotherhood of man influence the fact that our intimate per- sonal associations are preferably with people of our own race and that the en- forced association of different races has always made one or the other or both uncomfortable. I The persOnaI association of officers of the navy is necessarily of a particularly, intimate kind. They are, as it were, shut up together in closequarters, often for long periods, and a colored ofl‘icer would not have a happy time either in the ward room with white officers or in givingorders to a white crew. And what would be true on shipboard will be quite as true at the four years of close association at the academy, with the added difficulty that the prejudices and antipathies of boys are even more cruel than those of men. No discipline can eradicate them, or prevent their ex- pression. I ‘ To say this inanves no assumption of superiority or inferiority of rights or privileges. It involves simply the rec~ ognition of an obvious fact that scarce- ly anybody, in his personal relations, If the lad who has been appointed to Annapolis wishes to try his fortune he ought to be given a fair chance, but the best fate that can he. wished for him is that he may early tail in his examinations and thus have lljfi misery speedily cut short. affects to ignore. -- ”—on 7.... The Man Under the Bed. After many long and weary years, says the .Washington Post, he has been found at last—found good and strong. Mrs. Alfred Schellhouse found him; that is, she had him found, and deserves the credit of the discovery. She did not look under the bed herself, but got her husband to look, and the man was there. The husband got into trouble, but the man was captured after a hard struggle, and the little game Mrs. Schellhouse worked on her husband, by pushing him into the conspicuous position of first place and cheering him on when hostilities began, was a fine . piece of strategy. Mr. Schellhouse kept a hotel, and does yet. A few nights ago he and his wife prepared to retire to bed at the usual hour, 4 a. m., and Mrs. Schell- house, also at the usual hour and in the usual way, had her husband look under . the bed just as a matter of form. Very much to the surprise of all, parties, the man was there and was immediately dragged out by Mr. Schellhouse. He tossed Mr. Schellhouse to one side, ran down stairs to the second story, and endeavored to get away “by the fire- escape, but Schellhouse grappled him. The burglar tried to throw the hotel man over the railing, but failed in the attempt, although he succeeded in breaking Mr. Schellhouse’s leg at the ankle. The cries of Mrs. Schellhouse attracted the attention of a policeman, who climbed up the fire-escape and se- cured the burglar. . This goes to show that perseverance will winin tbe‘end. Wcm in have look- ed underbed Ilfrom time immem’orialmot exactly hoping, but fancying, a burglar or at least a 1" an might be there. In this case he Was. For many nights the looking was done, but in vain. It was a usual custom, and by. longvhabit had become an established household duty, like looking the basement door or bring- ing up the silver, and it was rewarded. There the man was, snugly ensconced. It was a little inconsiderate to keep the man waiting until 4 a. m.,but he doubt- less knew the household routine and that that hour was the limit for retiring. He had not been bored by waiting, for he had secured a watch and $60 while passing away the time, which were re- covered. ~ . IIllhe habit of looking under the bed will receive a new and forceful impetus from the success of Mrs. Sohellhouse in this transaction. Parties who have been discouraged and become low- after years'of steady andflregular look- ing will brace up and renew the pursuit with amended vigor. [That it is possible to find a man is now an established fact, and this will serve to inspire the industry of looking under beds with augmented vim. Burglars with any intelligence WIlllselect any other place for hiding than under a bed, for that spot will be ex:mined,thouzh the front door may be left open and the back window unfastened. It would be much safer ’for a burglar to hang himself on a hook in a closet than to crawl under a. bed, as for the nextten years every woman will ex- into it, whether s-‘Je goes to bed at 10 resort, beds are relegated to the past. A burglar might make a hit by getting Into the bed and playing bluff, but get- ting uuder it will never do. We are unspeakably glad this man was found. for him, lookingfor him, and now we have him. The business of life can be the mind emancipated from the thrall- dom of the possible man under the bed. Mrs. Schellhouse, our most distin- guished regards! Happy days!
