We desire to call the attention of Trustee Cornish to one of his smart Alecks’ in the night school. There is an individual who is car- ried away on the color of certain female teachers and if it is not discontinued we shall make it hot for some one. —————EeEe The biggest outrage ever pet- petraied upon the colored people of Maryland, was the lynching ot Bigus, the man who was tried Without judge or jury a few weeks ago. In striking contrast with this piece of diabolism is the re~ lease of Kilton, a white mana gainst whom a charge similar in all respects to that which the ex- acting and law abiding white murderers of Bigus deemed suffi- ciently just fiable to lynch bim for. It does make a big dfference in Maryland as to whose ox is gored. Itis notso much a question ot morals as it a question of race prejudice that impels these pro- rectors of the doubtful virtue of the women of their element to take the lives of colored mén on the slightest pretext and to mag nify them into “big burly negroes fiends, incarnate brutes, inhuman brutes and other pet names to be found in the vocabulary of the av- erage white journalist of the land of the Culverts and Carrolla There is some consolation in the fact that retribution will surely overtake the oppre-sois of the week ana defenceless, that the deeds of these éelf appointed guardians of the law and protect- e's of virtue will retarn to haunt them and thir posterity and be swift witnesses against them in their calamity. The colored people of Maryland show commendabie good seuse in refusing to apply force to force Brutal and barbarous as are ihe Methods of these civilized white men of Marylavd. It cannot be trathfully said that they have ready imitators indeeds of violence and lawlessness—in the negroes of this caste cursed state, who if they were inclined could make it de- cidedly interesting for the ilteli~ gent white hangmen and cut throats of that section by a resort toarms and hemp. EE DR. FRANCIS SCORES A VIC- TORY. At the meeting of the School Board on last Tuesday evening, the Mary Hall building was again considered by the Board and final- ly settled. Dr. Erancis made a logical speech and showed conelu- sively that he knew what was best for the colored people in that com- muvity. Dr. Francis argued that certain rooms be rented in the Mary Hall buildiog for pupils in that immediate neigbhorbood or no child should attend the school above the third grade. This is commendable, as the colored peo- ple who live in the immediate vicinity of the building will have an opportunity to have their ebildren instructed and in the meantime the cdlored trustees have secured the Miller building for all the purposes for which it was asked. Certainly Piof. Greg- ory and Mr. Cornish made a mis- take when they opposed Doctor Francis’ proposition. We have not only got what we asked for, but more. Under Dr. Francis’ resolution, no young lady will be allowed to atterd the Mary Hall building, and why the other colored members could not see that the Doctor’s resolution was not advantageous, we tail to see. We know that there are colored people who have children living in the vicinty of the building would like for the veighborhood to be improved. NEW CENTRALCOMMITTEE.

SKETCH OF A PROMINENT YOUNG PRO- FESSOR IN THE STATE UNIVERSITY. The Christmas Entertainment to Newsboys—News and’ Gossip, Social and Otherwise. (Louisville, Ky. Courrier Journal.) Prof. J. H. Lawson was born May 25, 1864, in the District of Colum- bia. He began early an attendance at the public school there, which has always had advanced facilities for educational purposes. When about sixteen years old, domestic dist: bances threw him upon his own resources. He then entered Howard University, where, with diligence, he prosecuted his stud- ents, graduating with high honors from the collegiate course in 1885. His ambition led him to Cambridge, Mass., where he entered the cele- brated Harvard Law School, and spent one year there, standing high in his class. In consequence of the expeuse it required to attend the school, he returned to Wash- ington, D. C., and in the following year graduated from Howard Law School, making the highest percen- tage in examination. He was a public school teacher in 786 in Washington, and was appointed to a clerkship in ’87 in the United States Postal Department under the civil service examination. He resigned both of these appoint- ments to accept a professorship in in the State University of this city. He filis the chair of Latin and French with great credit, and will join the bar here in a few months. The novel entertainment given by the colored citizens, under the auspices of the Colored State Uni versity, for the newsboys aud boot- blacks of Louisville transcended the hopefal expectations of its hopeful originators. There was not a jar, nota single unpleasantness. The tables groaned with savory sub- he is entitled to no consideration for what he has been. * to is a tinge of the ridiculous the statesman who continu- “Mmpeaks of the town and State in wilch he lives and the people as “my town,” “my State,” and “my people,’ and few of them seem to know how frequently they are laughed at because of this bombast- ic assertion of proprietorships. The best advice that can be given a budding statesman is: ‘Be ware of bombast.” New York Press USEFUL RECIPES. throughout the | he goes back to private citizensbip, Tomato Toast— Run a quart of tomatoes through the colander, put in a stew-pan, season with butter, pepper and salt. Cut. slic- es of bresd, toast, butter and lay on a hot dish and pour the toma. toes on the toast. Fruit Puffs.—One pint flour, two teaspoonsful of baking powder, one-half teaspoonful of salt; sift all together, then stir in sweet milk till a thick batter is formed; put a tablespoonful of batter into teacups till half the batter is used, place on it a spoonful of any kind of canned fruit or preserves, or of stewed apples without the juice; put a spoonful of batter on top of the fruit in each cup; set the cups in a steamer and steam thirty minutes; for sauce, take one half cup of su- gar, two spoonfuls batter; stir toa cream, add the fruit juice and a little grated nutmeg, or the sweet cream with sugar. Boiled Ham or Tongue on Toast. Chop one cup of boiled ham or tongue very five. Beat the yolks of two eggs until light; put them with the meat and add one-quarter teaspoonful of musted and a dash of cayenne pepper.

This sauce is tak- ing the place of old time tomato catsup. It is better to keep and better in every way than catsup. This tested recipe can scarcely be too highly recommended: Remove the skin from a peck of ripe to- matoes and peel eight white onions. Put them on the fire and cook them ten or fifteen minutes; then add a pint of vinegar and a tablespoonful each of cinnamon, allspice and black pepper, and a tablespvoonful of cloves, Tie the spices in a bag of coarse material. Cook the mixture from four to five hours, or until it is quite thick. Be careful not to let it burn. When it is ready to take off the fire stir in a teaspoonful of ground mustard, and a teaspoonful of cayenne pepper, two teaspoonfuls of white ginger, and salt to taste.
