SCATTERED NOTES, For Tse WASHINGTON BEE BY MAGNUS L. ROBINSON West End January 6th 1888} A wise man made his servant sleep ina chamber adjoining his own. He cried out to him on one occasion, “ George am I asleep? Yes sir,” replied the conscientious George. Ah, good! Enjoy the blessings of this day, says Jeremy Taylor, if God sends them ; and the evils bear patiently and sweetly. Forthis day only is ours; wo are dead to yesterday, and are aot born to-morrow. An Irishman being asked what he came to America for, said: Is’t what I came here for ye mane? Ar- rath, by powers! You may be sure that it warn’t for want, for I had plenty of that at home. Formulas of a fa-ionable lady’s prayer: Strengthen my husband, and may his faith and his money hold out to the last. Draw the lamb’s wool of unsuspicious twi- light over his eyes, that my flirta- tions may look to him like victones, and that my bills may strengthen his pride in me. Bless, O fortune, my crimps ruts and frizzles, and let thy glory shine on my paint and powder, Enable the poor to shift for themselves, and save me from all missionary beggars, Shed the light of my Camel’s hair shaw! Mourn for the maiden pure and|to look as though he had just had|™y lavender silk, my point lace chaste, By dark misfortune in her placed Here stands to meet her cruel vice, Who wraps a bandage round ber eyes, And bids her lay on folley’s bed *Til all has gone, her virture fled, O brothers, could you bearto see, Your sisters in debauchery ? O mother! could you bear to know, Your daughters such life under go? O fathers! doth your blood not boil To make you curse the very soil? The very men who thus have made The laws, your children to degrade! Let my worse curse be upon thee, State of my peoples agony : Take heed, the day shall uot be long, Ere that avenged our ev’ry wrong. Robert E. Ford. a JOE BUNKERS BUDGET. I had to larfa regular old Hoss larf when I read Parson Turner’s Sovruern Recorper last week wherein he expressed a willingne.s to succumb to the demands of his printers for a weeks additional hol- day. The Parson is very obliging ind as an inventive genius, he lays the average editor way in the shade. Long live Bishop Turner. The contest in the oneoming pri- maties bere promises to be exceed- ingly lively, the usual amoutt of stabbing and knifing will go on of course bat the lucky fellows are going to win. Lam not going to mention the names just nov, but 1} bear from good authority that a teertain chief s suffering with a bad case of nervousness and tuat he is willing to make most any sort of concession to get on top. The bluff game dou’t seem to prosper when applied to district politics. LT hear that there is a movement on foot to send to the next Conven- tion two meu who have the conti- dence of the people, and who are both in favor of suffrage for the boss-ridden people of this District. One of the wen is at the head of a powerful organization here, while the other, who is a colored man with ability and brains, will bring around him no little influence and support from those who know his ability and appreciate his worth. Senator B. K. Bruce is certainly pushing his way to the front asa platform speaker and lecturer and winning golden opinions wherever he goes. Le is aman of uncom- mon good sense and sound judge- ment, who hasn’¢ yet fonnd time to imerease the size of his head, his tame precedes bim and he is too inodest to avail himself of the many “pportuuities he has as a public man to blow bis own horv. Mr. Bruce is a quiet unobstrusive gen- tleman, geuerous alike to friend or foe; the better he is known the better he is hked. The Inpianarotis Wortp quite recently published what purported a first-class case of the measles and other ailments. That of Ex-Senator Bruce was a trifle better but one who did not know the distinguished Misaissip- pian would mistake him for Kala- kua minus his side-whiskers. The WORLD’s a dandy tho’ and I take off my ninety cent derby and cheer- fully grant that it leads negro jour- nalism in point of enterprise and originality. Long may it lead. There is a certain party whose name recently appeared in this journal in a way not to inspire his love and esteem for the writer. The feeling is reciprocal and I make haste to assure the party re- ferred to that barking canines ney cr bite. I am too busily engaged to enter upon a@ discussion with him or with anybody who hasn’t sense enough to understand what cousti- tutes tine manhood or who believes in bellowing like a mad { bull, when struck between the ninth and fifteenth ribs with a sandbag. If I were disposed to enter tne lists with such a virtuous person, the public would construe it to mean a condescension on my part for the purpose of dragging him from the obscurity in which he has lived these many years nnhonored and unhung, therefore I must decline the temptation and let the “galled judge wince.” : It is really astonishing and re- markable wuat gall some people have. I was standing oa the Ave- hue near 9th st. the other day smoking one of a half dozen fine Savannah cigars three for five, | when a party, who shall be name- less here, walked up and engaged me in conversation about Perry Carson’s new over-coat and the next nominating convention and | Blaine and Sherman and the dark horse, etc. Sesing my cigars in my vest pocket he very dextrously extracted one, lit it, commented on its five quality, enqaired how long LT had been in town, whether I had |any whisky money (I voted nay) and went on up the avenue as cool as a frozen cucumber. Tois party has in his anatomy the elements ‘that make the successful dead beat. It wil be his fault if he catches me that way again. T. Thos. Fortune enjoys the proud distinction of being the only colored editor of a great metropoli- tan journal. By sheer industry and indomnitable courage he bas work- ed his way vp from the position of a hustler on the New York Even- ing Sun to that of second editor in command of that powerfal evening daily which shines for all at 1 cent a shine invariably in advance. When Mr. Cummings, Editor in ‘Cave of the winds” a council of editors was held to discuss changes aud promotions. Fortune’s work covering a period of several months was marked up on the files and sabmiited to Mr. Dana,who immed- Subscribe for the Ber. It will pay you to advertise in it, cheif was about to depart for the | and my necklace of diamonds, and keep the moths out of my sable. I beseech thee, O furtune. Wien I walk out before the gaze of vulgar men, regulate my wiggle, and add new grace to my gait. When I bow my selt to worship, grant that I may do it with ravishing elegance, and preserve unto the last the plampness of my flesh and the taper ot my fingers. Destroy my ene- mies with the gall of jelousy, and eat up with theteeth of envy all those who gaze at my style. Save me from wrinkles and foster in my plumpuess. Fill both my eyes with the plaintitf poison of infatuation, tnat I may lay out my victim~, the men, a8 numb as images graven. Enable me, O Fortune, to wear shoes still a little smaller, and save me from all corns and bunions. Bless Fann, my lap-dog, and rain down hail stones of distraction up- on those who shall hurt Hecter, my kittep. Smile O Fortune, most sweetly upon Dick my canary, and watch over with the fondness of a ghist my two lily-white mice with red eyes. Abraham Liuecolu was no infidel, selfish critics to the contrary not- withstanding. The century for De- cember give-in the life of Lincoln for the first time, the ue version of the address that he made at the [railway station in Sprintield LL, as be was beginning the jouruey to Washington. A thousand of his Sprivgtield neighbors had come tuo bid him good-bye. Mr. Lincoln stood upoa the platform of the car as the train started, and raised b hand to com:ndnd attention. Well do his private secretaries say, that as the by standers bowed their heals tu the talling snow-flakes heard his voice for the last time in the city of his home, in # fare well address so chaste and pathetic that itreads as if he already felt the tragic shadow ol the fire casting fate. The adtress: My friends, no ove, not in my sit uation, can appreciate my feeling of sadness at this parting. To this place, and the kindness of these people, L owe every thing. Here I have lived a quarter ofa ceutuary aud have passed from a young to anold mau. Here my ehics u | have been born aud one is burried. Lnow leave, not knowing when or whether ever I may return, with a| task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington.

Seaton of the Equit- able Life Assurance of New York is buildiug a $10,000 mansion on} his Virginia farm, located near the Faupuier White Sulphur Springs The mansion will consist of 15 rooms, each room being 18 feet square. It will be the largest and most costly residence, ia the city or country ot any colored citizen in Virginia. The mansion will be completed the coming spring. At the completion of the building Col. Seaton will charter 4 special train from Alexandria to couvey his rel- atives and host of f ipar- take of an ox roast. Colonel Sea— ton is a whole souled man and gen- erous to a fault. He tips the beam at 298 and is possessed of $80,000. It was a grand day in the old chivalric times, the wine circling around the board in a noble hall, and the seulptured walls rang with sentiment and song. The lady of each kinghtly heart was pledged by name, and many a syllable sig- nificant of loneliness had been at- tered, until it came to St. Leon’s turn, when lifting the sparkling cup on hi. h: I'll drink to one he said, W hose image may ne’er dapart, Deep graveu on a grateful heart, Til memory is dead. To one whose love for me shall last, When lighter passions for me bas passed, So holy ’tis, and trae. Toone whose love ‘has longer dwelt, None deeply fixed, more keenly felt. Than any pledged by you. Each guest upstarted at the word And laida hand upon his sword, With firy flashing eyes. And stauly said: Wecrave the name! Proud Knight, of this most peerless dame, Whose love you count se St. Leon passed, as if hx Not breath her name in mood, Thus highly to anotner, Then bent his noble head as though Fo give that name the reverance due And gentle said “‘“my mother.” —_———_- ee | A CARD FROMMER. J. E. BRUCE. Washington, D. C., Jan. 3rd, 1883. In your issue of Dec. 10th there appeared an artitle over my signa- ture, which charged Jas. M. Ricks an attorney of this city with con- duct unbecoming a gentieman, and alawyer. I was careful to state in said publication that the infor- mation there given had been com- municated to me by the basband of the lady whom the said Ricks is alleged to have grossly insulted. I said nothing of my own knowl- edge respecting this affair, buat merely quoted in a modified form the very forcibly language of the husband of the aforesaid lady. Lhave learned since my return to Washington that the said J. M, Ricks denies in general terms tho allegation made in the article re« ferred to and if as he states to my informant the charges are errone- ous, (and I very frankly confess that Lhave seen no public denial of them beyond a general local no- tice in the Bee) It is my duty to accept his statement for what itis worth, which I now do and farther to disclaim any intention to do bin: an i A question of veracity has been raised between the lady, her husband and Mr. Ricks and it must be settled between them. I have no quarrel with Mr. Ricks, J make this public acknowledgement of the alleged injustice done bim by the publication of the said arti- cle which I am informed bas great- ly disturbed that gentlemans’ peace of mind.
