WILL MR, TROTTER APPOINT A DEPUTY RECORDER? IN- CORPORATION FIGHT IN NORTH CAROLINA. Since the death of Rev. Moses Hopkins, late minister to Liberia the President has been bvesiged by applicants for that mission. Men who have heretofore professed re- publicanism and declared their al- legiance to the republican party have been doing a great piece of hedging, (mildly putting it) to in- | gratiate themselves in favor with the present administration. vs The hedgers have been uncom- promising republicans and have worked on the President witi the ingenuity ofa learned jackass. How that they have all got left; they {seem to become despondent and care worn, Mr. Geo. T. Downing, who but a few years ago was fore- most in his praises of the republi can party is among the most dis- appointed mission hunters. These applicants can be heard saying how did Taylor secure that appoint- ment? He is not a man to strike a big official favorably. Notwith- standing Taylor ‘‘got there all the same.” There has been as much fight over the Liberian Mission in a quiet way, as there was over the Kecordership, both positions are greatly magnified. Weare unable to see the honor attached to the Liberian Mission. Some men, for the sake of a big salary, will go to death; we consider that Mission death. There have been some books missing in the INTERIOR’ DEPARTMENT. Secretary Lemar is on the tract : of the thief and will no doubt give him the ticket of leave man. If he wants any information concerning those stolen books the Bee can give it to him as it came into its possession. The bookbyer who bought themis equally as quilty as the thief who stole them, and if one is guilty both are guilty. « Itis a fact Mr. Lemar, that the man who bought the books knew at the time they were stolen. The party who accompanied you to the place was well known to the book-buyer. Squeeze the Lemmon Mr. Lemar and you will be sure to find out who stole those valuable books. MR. MATTHEWS is now in Albany practicing law. He reflects calmly on the past with ahope of not returning again to the city of magnificent distances where he was slaughtered by those who. should have defended him. It is hoped that President Cleveland will see to it, that he will be made to return in a very few days. He should not be lett alone, to receive /the-rebukes and condemnation of | those who rejoice at his defeat. Mr. Matthews has no idea of returning, but we hope to seethe day that | the President will recall him and | say, James, thou hast been faithful over a few things, uow I make thee Tnen will all cowards come from their holes and bow in humble submission to @ trict of Colambia, will give a RE- | worthy man. It has been asked whether MR. TROTTER will appoint Mr. Richard W. Thompkins Deputy Recorder of Deeds. It is hoped by the citizens of this city that he will. No young man is better qualified for the po- sition than Mr, Thompkins. The note that appeared in the Bee last week met with universal favor and should Mr. Trotter make this ap- pointment we are sure that Mr. Thompkins would fill the bill. There was a great INCORPORATION FIGHT going on in North Carolina a few weeks ago. It seems that certain citizens of Concord, N.C., sent to Raleigh, two weeks ago a petition signed a number of citizens pro- testing against the incorporation of the town of Concord. It is stated that the corporate limit of the proposed town is one mile anda half from the actory in every direc- tion, excepting that portion of the teritory now incorporated as the town of Concord, and that within the limits of that preciuct there shall not be any liquor sold hence- forth and forever. There were several speculators who went to Raleigh to influence the legislature to defeat the bill. Bat there were some colored men, among whom was W.C. Coleman, treasurer of the Independent order of Good Templars and a citizen of Concord, N. C., and an inflivential citizen who succeeded in having the bill passed. The local papers of the state, the Register Chronicle and Times give Mr. Coleman credit, above all others for his success. As a matter of fact he is one of the best and most influential colored men inthe South. If the South had more such men ashe we be- lieve that the colored people would fair much better. a MRS. BEECHER BEING CRITICISED. A&A MONUMENT TO HER HUSBAND. ADVICE TO MOTHERS. HEALTH OF CHILDREN, &c. (From our regular correspondent.) Brooklyn, March 22, 1887. Dear Editor :— : 4 “The structure has long been known as unsafe.” “The attention of the Superintend- ent has been called to the fact.” “It is an old Howe truss rebuilt.” “A civil engineering specialist found that two of the hangers which supported the lower beams of the bridge were badly rasted and defective, and beside were cov- ered with caps so that they could not be inspected.” This is what weare informed in reference to the latest horror ou Boston and Providence Railroad. The diabolical car stove also com- menced to play its usual part in the cremation of. human beings, but: somebody ‘happened along witb a hard grenade” aud put out the fire. We hear mach about the patience of the American peo- ple. It better be called the care- lessness and devil-may-care-ness of the American people. Is every other house in the land to be deso- lated before the inhabitants will come to the front and demand that the millionaires who own our rail- roads, shall see toit that. trans- portation is rendered as safe as money and brains can make it? I wondered to day as I sat in one of our elevated trains and looked out upon the miles of road which have no railings on either side, and passed from thé sensation of nerv- ous fear to that of relief as we came to places where stout iron fences protected us on the right and the left, why these guards were built at all if they were not in reality safe-guards~and if they were, why they were not to be found all along the line? “There isn’t a speck of danger” we are told and when we refer to one instance where two cars would have tambled over into the street had it not been for this rail we are met with sneers der how often these elevated roads are inspected and by whom? As affairs are conducted now, we are all of us quite as likely to be ground into pulp, or roasted to ashes as we are.to reach our destinations in safety. ; Mrs. Beecher is being criticised for going out so soon after her busband’s death. There are some very small people in this big world of ours, The line of conduct which this heroic woman is following was marked out by Mr. Beecher years agoand has been supplemented daily ever since. Ithas been my aim to show young methers and those not so young, the fallacy of this doctrine, as weli as the stupidity of another course, viz. the buying of shoddy ready-made garments from ‘cheap John” establishments. If one wants to know how these ‘-bot- tom prices” are possible, let them read the results of Henen Camp- bell’s visits among the very poor, very sick, utterly forlorn, and con- sequently unclean creatures where this slop work is put out. They are starved into that condition of poverty aud dirt which always be- gets disease. Surely no thoughtful mother*would jeopardize-her chil- dren’s lives: by purchasing such goods. Again to rip and turn, and wash and make over the pants of the elders for the boys is a praise-worthy performance if one is obliged to doit. But unless there are stringent reasons for such econ- omy, it is a wicked waste of time and strength that is, if a woman has any talent, or is desirous of learning anything. On the other hand, the mother who buys expen- sive material in small quantities 1s sure to pay double its woith. Add to this the wear and tear of nerve- force, and we have a very foolish and criminal performance indeed. It is hard to suit one’s self so far away from the centre of things, but an accurate measurement and a hint of what is desired sent by mail, will always secure immedi- ate attention by avy reputable firm. Men and women of high talent are devoting their time to the de- signing of artistic garments for the young. In fact so vast has the busi- ness become that two large houses in London and New York are de- voted exclusively to furnishing complete outfits for boys and girls from birth to the ages of eighteen years. Articles from the New York house, the Lilliputian Bazar—Best & Co. can always be changed or the money refunded if for any rea- sons they are unsatisfactory. In- fants’ wardrobes can be found here at fabulous prices, and dear little layettes bountiful and pretty enougn for the proudest mother at moderate and even economical figures. Why will women use up all their nerve force in the cutting, contriv- ing, and manufacture of puzzling garments? As Dr. Hamilion ouce remarked to a patient?’ women and laughter. Then ‘again I won- | grou sew themselves into hysteria before their children are born, and into chronic invalids afterwards. With the greater part of my patients this is entirely unnecessary, and why will they be such fvols.” Echo answers “why ?” Mark Twain says ‘The school system is idiotic, and the little bookenglish as she is Taught, soon to be issued by Cassell & Co. has a wholesome mission the calling of public attention to that huwilia- ting fact.” Inthe April Centary willbe found an article by this great fun producer, in which copious ex- tracts have been made from the book. This paper is side-pliting, but the author is indeed earnest, and joins hands with the compiler, the Century aud other wide-awake and earnest people in pitching into the present manner of instructing or rather destroying the minds and bodies of our children. Go it Mark, and don’t forget to advocate the addition of women to the schvol boards and the selection of those who are not like some we have heard of, afraid to go home from a meeting at nine o’clock at night.

The cold weather in spite of the ud-hog theory and appearance ofthe blue birds, lingers with a determination to see old Sol in his glory before retiring to the Arctic region. The close of this month ushers into existence a new admin- istration of our municipal Govern- ment; which I hope will have the credit of appointing some of our young colored men to positions higher than ‘the office of a (Cop.)
