For terms, etc., inquire of Prof. Eibner, Lead- cational workers shows what the Presbyterians are doing towards dnoating THE FREEDMEN of the South, and it is hoped that these educators will secure a liber- al support form all denominations, as there is no distinction made at this institution on acccount of a persons religious faith. We should like to'see Howard University and Wayland Seminary, controlled by some competent colored educator. Congress has been very liberal in its appropriations towards Howard University. Therace must con- trol its own institutions before it can reach that eminence and tame. The District republican EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. will recommend to the central re- publican committee the propriety of electing the next District dele- gates to the next District conven- tion, that primary elections be held to elect delegates. We favor this plan, and hope that all honest republicans will favor it. This will prevent the disturbances that so often occur at these night meetings, and furthermore it will tend to bring out the best element of the republican party inthe Dis- trict. Let Gen’l Whittaker and the executive committee do their duty by forcing this matter to a head. This can be done at a small cost, by taxing each District so much to defray the expenses. We shall have more to say in our next. er, southwest corner of L and 7th streets n. w., or at Ellis’s Music store, 937 Pa. Ave. n. w. Sept. 1, 1mo. er rT OUR WEEKLY REVIEW. ADJOURNMENT OF THE MEDICAL CoN- GRESS, THE FREEDMEN IN THE SOUTH. WHAT THE ABBEVILLE FERGUSON ACADEMY IS DOING. grove wire stems Saeenram ner LICAN DELEGATES WILL BE ELECT- FD. THE PROBABLE ORDER OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. The world’s medical congress has adjourned. The social feature of the Congress was a greater suc- cess than the business feature of it. On closer investigation the Brz found more colored representatives than was expected, and the reason more colored physicians did not take part was on account of the enormous tax that had to be paid. Dr. Reverdy M. Hall, of Baltimore, Md., was the guest of Dr. John R. Francis, Drs. S. LeCount Cook, and S. R. Watts, of this city, and Dr. Grant, of Boston, Mass. The Dis- trict of Columbia had the largest representation than any other city in the anion, so far as colored phy- sicians are concerned. Any - ognized physician could have been a member of the Congress by pay- ing a tax of $10,00. Some of our District colored physicians did not feel disposed to pay this tax, hence they declined to become members, We bave considered the proprie- ty ofplacing colored men at the head of OUR COLORED INSTITUTIONS. colored men at their head are pro- gressiug nicely. We have before us the first annual report of the Ferguson Academy, a Presbyteri- an institution at Abbeville, S. C. It was butafew years ago when Rev. E. W. Williams and his wife, Mrs. E. V. Chase Williams, left this city for the South, without any capital. To-day they have built a handsome church and es- tablished a fine academy at Abbe- ville, S. C., in Abbeville County. The report says that this is one of the largest counties in the State, and second to none in prominence and influence. It has a population of 40,000, ofwhich 27,637 are col- ored people. The trustees of this academy are: Rev. J. A. Ferguson, Hanover, N.J., J. G. Craighead, D. D., Washington, D. C., Francis | Upshur, Washington, D. C., and Rev. E, W. Williams. The in-} structors are, Rev. E. W. Wil-)| liams, Superintendent, Mrs. E. V. C. Williams, Principal, Misses K. | S. and Carrie Ritchie, and Lula Cunningham. The great need of this institution, at the present time, is money to enable Rey. Williams to complete the structure. Testi-| monials have been received from | ex-Chief Justice W. Strong, Mr. others. .. The work of these faithful edu- THEY SAY THAT, i: Strange things happen some “mag, Mea often conclude that they} have defeated their enemies before the battle is over. Itis an old adage, he laughs best who laughs last. The Bez laughs last, while its enemies only smile. Persons often tell what they have accomplished before the contest is decided. The Cook’s TestImonial was a great affair. The best society turned out to greet the young violinist. Misses Mary Nalle and Annie R. Sprague know how to conduct a big concert. It is the man who saves his mon- ey that becomes rich. A wise man keeps a still tongue, while a fool talks too much. A fool often says wise things. Brutus played the fool bat torn- ed wise euough to overthrow the house of the Tarquins. Miss Church is well versed in politics and is a lady of remarka- ble ability. It takes a wise man to play the fool; but a fool is seldom wise. Listen and you will hear a crash. It is the fool of the house of ty- rant. It isimpossible for a man to ride two horses iu opposite directions at the same time. We must ride in one direction or suffer the consequences of an acci- dent. Abe will select his prize from Florida. She is a beauty as well as being accomplished. Miss Mary Nalle should receive the next vacancy in the High school. Gentlemen look out for her please.

Marriages will be numerous this Divorces are on the decrease. The Bex is the best advertising medium in the city. The merchants find the BEE a valuable Negro organ. The victim died a coward, but, his supporters died game. The people wanted it and it was done. _Dr. Francis is the youngest phy- sician in the medical profession in this city. He was the first of the young men to graduate and all others followed him. The man who pays from 3 to 5 dollars to feast his fellow man has no sympathy for the many thousand of his race who are starv- ing. It took $300 to banquet a great man and 150 to educate a poor Negro. What a contrast? It would pay off a church indebt- edness or build a small school nouse in the south. None but fools will throw away money that way. She is lovely and wise, but she isnow seldom seen.

A woman’s lot is made for her by the love she accepts. The happiest womeu, like the happiest nations, have no history. Men say of women what pleases them; women do with men what pleases them. A sign ofold age in a woman is when her heart becomes capable of a little friendship fur another wo- Inan. Half the sorrow of women would be averted if they could repress the speech they know to be useless —nay, the speech they have re- solved not to utter. Let even an affectionate Goliath get himself tied to a small, tender thing, dreading to hurt it by pull- ing and dreading still more to snap the cord, and which of the two will be master? Until every good man is brave we must expect to find many good women timid, too timid to beleive in the correctuess of their own best promptings, when these would place them in the miuority. | Will the subtle measuring of forces ever come to measuring the | force there would be in one beauti- ful woman whose mind was as no- ble as her face was beautiful—who made a mau’s passion for herrush in one current with all the great aims of life? There is something strangely winning to most women in that of- fer of the firm arm ; the help is not wanted physically at that moment, but the sense of help—the presence of strength that is outside of them and yet theirs—meets a gontigual want of the imagination—“(er- mantown Independent.” ee WEAPONS OF THE PER. SIANS. WOLF VON SCHIERBRAND IN THE SEPT. COSMOPOLITAN, Of weapons the Persian is very fond and proad, although he hard- ly ever uses them, for, asf pointed before, personal bravery is not one of his leading traits. Ancient weapons, made by the armorers and engravers of old, are highly prized, and fabulous sums are of. ten paid for them. The art of mak« ing fine weapons has been lost in Persia, and what really fine speci- mens now exist, date back at least several hundred of years. They are imitated, of course, especially in ahan; but comparison at once shows their spurious nature. For old guns with long stocks, chased, engraved, and embellished with small gold and silver and mother-of pearl plates, made of Damascene steel, three hundred to seven hundred Tom Av (four hun- dred and fifty dollars to ten hun- dred and fifty dollars) are some- times paid. The SHENISHEER (straight sword or scimeter) is likewise often artistically shaped and finished, and the same is true of the KAEMEH (broad Circassion dagger), and the Khandshar (pointed and carved dagger). All these weapons are, as I have said, generally worn for show, not for use, which does not, however, interfere with the fact that they would make most formidable weap- ons, when wielded by stout hands. The KAEMEH especially, which re- sembles the short Roman sword, is a splendid arm in a hand-to-hand encounter. The rosary (LISBEH) and the signet (MUHR) are sine QUA NoNS of every Persian of the higher classes. Documents are SAD (08258 'or Ud intnvidual, bat have simply the seal (contain. ing in most cases a sentence from the Koran or from some of the Per- sian or Arabic poets) affixed, and that gives them legal value in Per- sia. Therosary is used by Per- sians, as it is by the Turks, simply as @ pastime. For some hours they will let the beads glide list- lessly through their outspread fingers. ae PROF. LAWSON ON MEN OF MARK. HE WRITFS THE BEE FROM LOUIs- VILLE, KY. AGOOD WORD FOR DR. SIMMONS. Louisville, Ky., Sept. 12th, ’87. Tacitus in his very opening of his Agricola writes: To bequeath to posterity a record of the deeds and character of distinguished men is an ancient practice which even tie present age, careless as it is of its own sons, has not abandoned, whenever some great and conspic— uous excellence has conquered and risen superior to that failing com- mon alike to petty and great states blindness and hostility, to good- ness. Following in the wake of great and phlosophic historian, Dr. Simmons has opportunely written a book which might be styled the nations collection. Great writers of biography say lttle of them- selves. Dr. Simmons has said nothing of his own life while I am confident from his ability as a writer of biography that he is best able to delineate character, not challenging the able author of the introduction, Bishop Turner. In what may it be asked does the ability of a biographer consist? Ina general way those who haye attained the highest rank are men capable ot printing scenes, actions, incidents whether from past histo- Ty or contemporary. If Dr. Sim- mons is to.take rank and place al- ready conceded the reason rests in the fact that he is a great diserimi- nator and tells the truth without rhetorical exaggeration. He can picture a gaeat life in detail, and martial the salient points in afew linesor strike off with a single stroke and impression and fix it rigidly in the mind. The book is longlived. J. H.
