Mr. Morgan Houser was quietly married Jast Thursday evening to Miss Henrietta Simmons. It is re- ported that Mr. Houser was going with a lady in Richmond, Va., by the name of Miss M——. It is not known whether the parents object- edornot, but the marriage was very quiet. “A month a-go I was happy !” is the declaration of Bryan W. Proe- tor the poet. So were lots of other folks, who are now telling people in decided nasal tones: “Got a toad inmy head.” But there is still happiness to be secured; a bottle of Dr. Buil’s Cough Syrap will cure any cough or cold.

H. Lomax delivered a short addregs, then a handsome collection was taken up. A vote of thanks and a snug little purse was presented to the pastor for his able sermon.

The rooms were beauti- fully decorated with festooms of roses and evergreens and the table fairly groaned under the weight ofits choice viands. But to realize fully the grandeur of the entertainments given by the Ex- celsior Social Club, it is necessary for one to be present.

On the night of the 1st inst. au infant came to see the light, the father looked in the east for the Star of Bethleham, but behold the babe partook of the nature and sex of her mother Mary, never-the- less there was great rejoicing in the household of James. The weight was ten pounds. The father is from Georgia and the mother one of Washington’s daughters and their names are Mr. and Mrs. Devaux. eee NOT EASILY LIFTED. Ou, Farmer Jones isa man of strength ; At lifting great weights he all other folks knocks; Throughout this breadth and length He’s known as ‘‘ the man with the strength of an ox.” Iron to him is like the snow’s drift: If you wrestle with him you will come to harm ; But one thing he hasn’t thestrength to lift, And that is the mortage upon his farm. —Goodall’s Chicago Sun.

MISS JORDON ON OBSERVATIONS. THE COLOR LINE DRAWN. There was a pleasant audience at the Isreal Bethel Literary as- sociation last Monday evening. Miss Maria Jordon, read a paper entitled observations. The paper took in everything of importance and the most significant feature abont it, was the prominent appear- ance of the color question to which Mr. H. Price Williams took ex- ceptions. He did not think that the lady should draw the color line so much, that this idea of contin- ually talking about the color ques- tion was ridiculous and that the lady’s paper was areflection on the the colored people. Mr. A. G. Lenard took the floor and defend- ed the paper. He thought that Mr. William’s talk. was like an angle from heaven but very shallow. Rev. R. 8. Williams, agreed with mr. Price Williams and thought the color question should be abol- ished, other speakers sustained the paper. Next Monday evening Mr. J. F. Boston will read a paper entitled “The unsettled Question.” THE WASHINGTON CADRFTS. MAJOR BOSTON REQUESTED TO RE- SIGN. A LIVELY MEETING MON- DAY NIGHT. The Washington Cadet corps held its regular monthly meeting last Monday eveningat the Armory. Long before the hour for the meet- ing it was preyelent that a storm was raging. Major Boston took the chair and called the meeting to order, at which time cries were heard throughout the hall, demand- ing Major Boston’s resignation. The Major, it is said, stated that he was not ready toresign, a mem- ber moved to declare the office of ; Major vacant, but the Major who was presiding, refused to put the motion, whereupon cries were heard for him to vacate the chair and for Capt. Brooks to assume it. Capt. Brooks, took the chair and put the motion declaring the oflice of Major vacant which was adopt- ed. Itis not known who will suc- ceed Major Boston, but it is ru- mored that Capt. Brooks, will pro- bably be his successor, Major Fleet- wood has been asked to accept bat he declined. — WEST WASHINGTON.

Alexander of md. is here and will spend the winter with her sister Mrs. S. Holmes. The entertainment given by the Free Will association of Mt. Zion church on Tuesday evening last at Union Bethel Hall was a grand success. mr. B. Fisher was presented with a handsome Odd Fellow P. N.F. collar for having sold the highest number of tickets. SOUTH WASHINGTON. R. 8. Laws, 316 H st., S. W. Mrs. Henretta Coleman at 213 H st., entertains some fears that her son Willie is killed in the rail-road banks of Pennsy|vania. A police was asked why it was that the police force in this section was required to carry billies, and all others canes? He answered, { do not know, other than itis the order from Major Walker, whose tight it is to designate. But, said the Bee man, is it not poseible that this order was given from full impressions made from time to time by police officers who reported from prejudice against a large community on account of this race complexion, a majority being colored? That may be all true so faras I know; I ama _ stranger in this community and know buat little about the people other than their general character as citizens. The only difference between the manners of citizens in this comumu- nity and that of the North End, is the majority there is white and here colored, and the police off- cers think that they can exercise a greater sway of cruelty which they cannot do. The colored people claim more respect than they as white men are willing to consider. The old fashion supper is enough for us in the new fashion age, was the subject of the distinguished, Rt. Rev. Bishop J. J. Moore, D. D. delivered at the Wesley Zion A.M. E. church on Monday evening be- fore the annual reception of the Building committee of said church. Plates were turned for 75 including, a frait tree handsomely decorated. The order of exercises commenc- ed with addresses, in the audience room by the Rev. Dr. Laws, of the Va., Ave. Baptist church, and Bish- op Moore, who were introduced by the Rev. Dr. Dyson, pastor in charge, as master of ceremonies. Bishop Moore said when iutro- duced, I must be excused for wit and humor as introduced, and consider that part of the exer- cises as sufficiently handled by Dr. Laws who is so much at home in that line; but let me come now tosome real facts, which are so much more essential to you in the present age, than they were to me 70 years ago. There are three things needed in our manhood to make us equal cit- izens. ist. Grace and Morality, will put uson the Lord’s side; education, will put us on the white people’s side, and money and land, will put us on our own side. These exercises were interspersed with appropriate music under the leader-ship of Prof. Scott as diree- tor, with Miss Lizzie Hammons, Miss Mamie Fields, and Miss Ida Contee, altos. A solo which was simply sublime, was sung by Miss L. Hamer, the organist. Supper was served ai 11 o’c}ock with Mr. James Lee, as chairman. Mr. Deinies Hammons, James’ E. Thompson, R. H. Gunell, and oth- ers with the following ladies; MadamesFrances A. Dyson, Jane P. Hammer, E. Baltimore, A. V. Gunnell, C. Butler, M. V. Lee, M. M. Lee, M. Harris, S. Johnson, and Misses E. Brown, S.
