After receiv- ing the usual southern rebel re- buke, he left for Mongomery, Ala., and on his arrival there the Doc- tor was approached by the Sheriff of the county, and the following colloquy took place : Sheriff :—Coming up behind Dr. Livington and touching him on the shoulder said: are you Dukes? Dr. L.:—No sir!!! My name is Dr. Livingston of Washington. Sheriff:—Excuse me. The Doctor left in a hurry, in fact the train could not bring him away fast enough. He arrived in this city and is now at his desk in the 2nd Auditors office. Dukes, it will be remembered, is the colored editor who caused the rebels of the South to call an in- dignation meeting, and denounced anarticle he wrote against out- raged Negroes. °<—__— HARPER'S FERRY.

Cosley, one of the best known citizens of this city, is alady of refinement and thought. For a number of years she has been doing charitable work in Om- aha, Nebraska, and her husband Mr. Howard Cosley, formerly of this city, is @ prominent politician and a man well known. They live with Mrs. Polkaty on M_ street, where they are comfortably enjoy- ing themselves in a most unosten- tatious manner, A few days ago was her birthday anniversary, also her husbands closely followed. As a token of the high esteem in which she is held by her neices, the children of Mrs. Lucy Costin, formerly Miss Lucy Moses, she was presented with a handsome silver pitcher and waiter to match, beautifully ornamented. On the tront are the initials O. H. ©. The waiter on which the pitcher stands are the names of the children beautifully carved as follows: Aunt Olivia from Daisy Willlie Artie Hosea and Edith. Lottie and Georgia are dead, but the others in the centre are living. She also received a gold ring from Mrs. Costin, Mr. Cosley was pre- sented witha shaving mug and clothe broom from the little urchins and when they presented them, he was told to keep his face shaved and his clothing brushed. These tokens of gratitude were a surprise to Mr. and Mrs. Cosley, but one that will be remembered for years. SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. Lottie Georgia A GAY PARTY AT THOMPSON COTTAGE —WHO0 WERE PRESENT.

Dear Sir:—Mr. Henry John- son has submitted to me a copy ot your paper of the 20th instant, and invited my attention to certain articles therein published, in which reference 1s made to him,re questing an opinion as to your lia- vility to legal proceedings by rea- son of such publication, He has also jinscructed me to take such steps as in my opinion are necessary and _ available under the law, jn order to secure the discontinuance of the further publication of such uncalled for statements. The object of this communica tion is, therefore, to suggest the impropriety of making your paper the vehicle of such libellous articles and to inform you that unless they are discontinued, legal measures will be availed of to secure that end. Your respecttully, CHARLES KING, Attorney and Solteitor. ———<—<——_— cn ee Wasu., D, G., Aug. 26, 1887. Cuas. Kine, Esq., Sir :--Your letter of Aug. 25th informing me that you had a copy of the BEE of August 20th sub- mitted to you by Henry Johnson tor advice was 1eceived. Judging from your letter I would conclude that you are as silly as Johnson, and when you get ready to go into court I shall have no hesitancy in meeting you. I have just about a bushel of Henry Johhson’s dirty and scurri- lous manuscript that I would like the court to examine. I am pre- pared to prove what I said in the Bez last week and show justifiable cause. I have nothing to retract, but a plenty to publish; so proceed with your case. Respectfully, &e., W. CALVIN CHASE. +s J. A. ARNEAUX. ee eee THE BRILLIANT YOUNG JOURNALIST AND DISTINGUISH TRAGEDIAN ANONG THE CATSKILLS. HOW HE SPENDS HIS TIME AMONG THE BIG GUNS OF THE CAUCASION RACE. HE IS TREATED WITH GREAT SU- CIAL CONSIDERATION. HIS VIEWS ON NEGRO JOURNALISM AND HIS PLANS FOR THE FUTURE, > (Special to the Washington Bex.) Catskill, N. Y., Aug., 22, 87. One of the conspicuous features of this renowned summer resort, this season, is the presence of Mr. J. A. Arneaux the disguished young tradegian and brilliant jour- nalist of New York city. Mr. Ar- neaux is here by advise of his pbhy- sician and I do not think he re- grets itas he has gained several pounds of flesh and is very much improved in health. The lost by fire of his bright little journal, the N. Y. Enterprise, was a severe blow. When he came here he was not entirely himself. He was very retirent and avoided obsevation as much as possible but his name up- on the register of the Mountais House quickly brought him out. He was first recognized by one the waiters at the hotel who was a pa- tron of the Enterprise in its hokyn days and who happened to be waiting upon him. He is the only gentleman of color I believe that ever stopped at this house and of course his presence attracted at- (a tention and the question who is he, became general among the guests, one of them was told who he was and several others remembered having seen him performed in the drama and read his articles in the N.Y. Sun and World. When he became generally known, Mr. Ar- neaux was treated with the great- est social consideration he has been invited to play Croquet and Lawn Tennis with the ladies, to row swim and play base ball with the gentlemen, all these ‘sports Mr. Ar- neaux is proficient which with his polished manners gives him a pre- cedence. While he was enjoying the moun- tain air on the bote verandes, one morning I approached him and af- ter a pleasant greeting asked him about his plans for the future. He informed me that he intended going to Paris in the fall to devote his time to the study of the drama with aview of permanently adopting the stage as a profession. I asked him if he did not intend to start the Enterprise agai, he answered after a moments pause that it was his desire to do so but there was not sufficient guarantee of appreci- ation demonstrated on the part of the race to warrant him in making another sacrifice. “Editing a Ne- gro Journal,” he said, 1s not what it is cracked up to be; you spend from $60 to $90 per week to run the paper and you collect froma subscription list of 5000 or 6000, abo'.t $25,00. There you have a dead loss of from $35 to $65 per week. People ask me wherever I go, **When will you start the En- terprise again?” .My answer is, when you make up your ‘minds to support it, and I am let off. When I was burned out I had a large sub- scription list, and my paper was very popular and was doing well. 1 love my race and would if nee- essary go through fire for it but to torture and eventually sacrifice yourself in the interest of the race, as some had done, while the race langhs and calls you a fool, is in deed not folly. I expect to edit the Enterprise or some paper at some time to come. Mr. Arneaux will remain at the Mountains House until the 15th of Sept.,unless he is called to N, Y. on business. He intends giving two or three farewell performances before he sails for Paris. It is a great pity that so brilliant a journiiist as Mr. Arneaux should be driven out of the field by fire and allowed by the people who Le so faithfully served to remain there. EpwarpD MIpDDLETCN. <--> THEY SAY THAT, There is a talkative woman no lith Street. She is married, but she does not fail to chin other womans hus- bands. She khows more about other peo- ples’ business than she does about her own. She can bereadily known asshe lives on the west side. Nothing can prevent Robert Lincoln from securing the nomina tion of the Kepublican convention. Rob Lincoln is a great man and a friend of the Negro, Elembee will be reinstated and the Negro pimp will be bounced. The pimp of the Interior Depart- ment is washing spittoons now. He will be pressing bricks for Walker soon. All pimps should be made to press bricks. The time is coming when the white people will havé more use for the Negro, than the Negro wili have tor them. It will take Trotter from now an- til ’88 before he finishes his rounds. The Negro headwaiter at Bay Ridge obeys the demands of his master, His name is Twine and a mean chap he is. A disagreeable woman is worse than an angry mother-in-law. Never feel that you are so impor- tant that your services cannot be dispensed with. Persons often over estimate their worth, Sam Stewart of the Triangle saloon is the most enterprising’ in the business. Men who want honors shoyld pay for them. Always save partof what you earn and retain what you learn. A fashionable wedding will take place soon. . Ne one knows the value of a mother until she is gone.

Of ten colored printers in the Government Printing office all but one were recommended for dis- charge by Republicans foremans. Republicans as well as demo- crats are inimical to the Negro.
