To Tue Epiror: I quite agree with the STAR in its discussion of the rx. | Hewlett—Civil Rights cases and > especially when it advised him to pursue his investigation among col- ored men engaged in business which come withiu the purview of the Civil Rights as applied to this territory. It was 2 timely suggestion of the Srar to call attention to this im- portant and very necessary point. It is not my purpose or intent.on to provoke an unnecessary contro- yersy, as to antagonize Mr. Hewlett in his Herculean effort to wipe out at one fell swoop, as it were that peculiar monstrosity called Ameri- ean prejudice. But I am going to say by way of parenthesis and ad- visedly, that Mr. Hewlett cannot lend bis time, talent, energy and money to a better cause than that which looks to the breaking down of the boundary line which sepa- rates a certain element of people in Washington from avother element, though both are rated as belonging to the Negro race, Reformers must first reform themselves if they hope to do good. The so ealled aristocratic and high- toned Negroes of Washington, are fas much opposed to mingling with | the common herd as the whites aud jindeed are often — more pro- vounced in their notions on this | subject than are the white people. It s the particular element which thirsty and when he can get water, The effect of a decision agains’ varber-shops would in my judge- ment, result in closing out these gorgeous establish:nents, and in in- the number of visiting creasing barbers, Seriously speaking, Iam frank to say that while I deplore a3 mach as any man can, the intol- erable and unjust discrimination to which the negroes of Washington arg subjected, I cannot lose sight of the fact that the prejudice which is found in our own household, is as unjust and unreasonable as that which is said to exist among white Dee. 15, 1887. +2 o—__ DECEMBER. oo The short December days are here, Aud winter’s come at last ; bare Before the northen blast. No more is heard the joyful song, Of nature’s minstel thrush, Whowhen mer days were long, Upon a naighb’ring bush. Bat uow instead the fierce, wind, Doth blow him, far and wide; And all the comfort that we find, Is by the fire side. And yet, and yet we hail thee © December, month of cheer, And even moon when thou art gone Our Queen !—last of the year.

An or- der for a young female chimpanzee was therefore sent out, and after ; two years of waiting 2 promising | young personage named Kitty was | brought to New York, and a most unigue courtship began. The ba- by, for she is but an infant still, be- ing two years old and about half his size, is very pretty-- for an ape andja charmingly amiable and frol- iesome little creature. Not pos- | ses -9d by the mania of tearing eve- rytamg to bits, she can be trusted wi 1 a hammock, in which she pir ys ail sorts of amusing pranks, at a red shawl, the delight of her heart. She was introduced to Mr. Crowley by placing ber in the next | Cage to his, separated by a close partition, iu one part of which are narrow openings, hardily more than cracks, through which he can see and hear, but not touch. His reception ot her was not very gallant. ile went mad with rage; he ached to tear her to pieces; he shouted at ber; he pounded the partition ; shook the bars ; he fairly jumped up and down in passion. {f-any thing was given to her, he caised a riot; and when his audience paid attention to her, he behaved like a tiger outof bis jangle.

THINGS POLITICAL AND SOCIAL, Eprror Wasuineton Bex : As your pa- per is read in this city and as there are maay Ohioans in Washington, who feel an interest in Cincinnati now, | thought a brief review of what is going on among our people would be acceptable. Politically we are anchored in the harbor of content. The whole republican ticket, county and state, having been elected in November by a large plurality. The next Legislature will bave two colored members, one from Cleveland and one from this city. If they serve their constituents as faithfully as did the three colored represenatives in the last Legislature, who sue- ceeded in having the “ black laws ” expunged from the Statutes of Ohio, they will be entitled to the gratitu le of their people. The Cincinnatt Commerctat sevy- eral years ago recognized the fact that colored people no: only liked to see their names in print, but were entitled as subscribers and readers of that paper to a portion of its space where they could find in a condenced torm, current hap- penings in society, and other news pertaining entirely to themselves. A column under the caption of “Our Colored Citizens,” appearea each Sunday and is eagerly sought for by the colored readers, although the heading bas been criticised as too distinctive. The Cincinnati Enquirer, one of the leading democratic papers of the Country desiring to cater to all classes of patrons, has evidenced a progressive spirit by devoting a column each week (withoat the Cotorep heading) to our people. It realizes that the time has come for a great newspaper, even if pub- lished in the interest of democracy, to advance with times in the cause of progress and humanity by laying aside individual or prejadiced exelu- sion of anybody, thereby giving colored men opportunities where their education and ability can a vail for the common upbuilding. Both of these papers employ and pay liberally, colored men for this work, and I am sure you will agree with me, that their example might be followed with profit by other leading newspapers of this country, Socially, we are on the eve of a eyclone of fairs, concerts, church entertainments and parties, a8 these come annually about the time we are prepared for them. Many of our people however, are reserving themselves for the Centennial in this city next year, when we hope to welcome many friends and strangers. May you be among the bumber. Yours traly, A. Cincinnati Obio, Dee. 17, 1887,
