Butcher Superintendent. me em ee The marriage of the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Washington, to Mr. Alphonzo C. Lee, last Tuurs- day night at 1507 Marion St., was anotable and fashionable event. The parlors were most effectively arranged by Miss Ross’s exquisite taste, there were flowers upon the tables and stands of flowers about the room which were brilliantly il- luminated. At7:30 the Rev. Wm. T. Peel, of the P.ymouth Congre gational church, united the young couple asone. Mr. A. C. Lie and Miss Lee were born iu ‘his city. The occasion drew together a very pleasant company of Washington’s best citizens, who were friends of the bride and groom, Tueir rooms are handsomely furnished and many compliment- were paid to Mr. A. C. Lee for the elegance with which he starts bis bride: Well might the groom smiled upon his pretty bride as she was grace- fuliy seated by his side, as did each of the guest as they showered bless- ings upov ber and wishing her a happy journey through life. ‘Fhe affable and tairy !ike brides-maid was Miss Addie Mason of this city, and the grooms best man was Mr. Douglass Brown formerly of this} city but now of Philadelphia, Pa.| Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Washington gave theirtwo daughters to two brothers. Mr. A. C. Lee is the brother to Capt. W. H. Lee, of the Cadet Corps and who 1s the presi- dent of the Fern Leaf social club. The Bve’s best wishes are that the lives of the lately married brother and sister may beas successful and happy through life as their former brother and sister. WANTED—LADY etn desist THEY SAY THAT Good men should be sent to Chi- cago. John Sherman will be nominated at Chicago next June. Mr. Blaine will need the colered vote which he cannot get. He is the Irishmans’ triend and the Negroes enemy. The Bee owes the “Advocate” adebt which willbe paid in due time. The Bee ison the increase not- withstanding the religious procliv- ities of Cromwell. There are many fools who make a@ mockery of religion. Wien Cromwell embraced reli- gion he failed to forgive the Bee stinger. He still retains that enmity which is so characteristic of the man. People who boast of their high moral stancing more often prove themselves knaves than saints. Good men need no recommenda- tion. The Bee record. Cromwell refered to Rev. Welsh, in his articleoa the pulpit some time ago. Rev. Welsh will make the reli- gious editor of the Advocate prove it. The putative chairman of the Cantral committee has issued his call. is satisfied with its Credentials signed by the recog- nized presidents shall be “prima facia,” in a born. A similar rule was made before, but contestants were admitted when the mob saw defeat. Promises are easily broken, es- pecially when a politician makes them. All liars are not politicians, but all politicians are liars. Davis’ new rule will not amonnt to much, especially if he finds him- self iu the minority. Davis made a manifesto without authority. The Central Coinmittee did not issue any such order as Davis pub- lish in tue Republican Thursday morning. Itis strange that the mob did not stick to this rule in the Central Committee. The mob disregarded every rule of the constitution. NFW YORK NOTES. It was not because there was not auything goiug on in New York that these notes have been missed from these columns for the past three weeks. Your correspondent has been suffering from cold, occas- joued by rapidly changing weather. The Convevtion of Republican Clubs throughout the State beld their session in this city. There were a number of colored delegates representing many States. I met Curvy of Texas, Thowas Brothers of Ohio, W. H. Johnson of Albany, N.Y. and H. A. Hall of New York City. One of the colored delegates made a scene at one of the sessions by delivering in a strong voice, a set speech eulogistic of a candidate for President of the Organization ; the joke was that his remarks re- lated to 2 man of the same nawe of one of the vominuees, but who was not a caudidete aud w's from Ohio; the real candidate was from this city and was elected. The end of the year was marked by the demise of several well kuown New Yorkers, namely: Mr. Joseph Ten Eyck who died Dee. 21st, leav- ing a fortune of $75,000, mostly to his wife, but leaving some princely bequests to several lady friends not related to him. Miss Bessie Tuomp- sou who died on Dec. 220d, was a teacuer in the Public Sciool for years and a prominent figure in matters of Education and Religion. She was a member of St. Philips Chureh aud ber death a gloom on this society, which did not permit the succession of gay holiday par- ties by Mrs. Mars, Mrs. Brooks aud Mrs. Gale, whici had been arrang- ed for, before the Angel of Death made his rounds and were not post- poned in cousequeuce thereof. Isaac Josephs mourns the loss of a little girl, only child, between two and three years of age, which died last week. The Legislature met and organ- ized Jan. 3rd. The committees were bamed and appointments were made last week. The Republicans have the majority in both houses and the Colored Politicians secured three of the plums two of them go- ing to men fron wayside towns up the State where colored voters are scarce, and the other a little one came to H. A. Hall of New York City, when colored voters run up into the thousands, N. Y. King’s County will be good fields for Cleveland’s friends to look for nec- essary votes to re-elect him, for they—the colored voters, are not at all satisfied with the small a- mount of patronage dealt out to this end of the State. Ex-Recorder Matthews of Albany, who has been confined to his bome for several weeks a sufferer from general debility, is reported to be out and in active service again at his profession. During the Holi- day week Mrs, Matthews entertain- ed Misses Lucy Moten and Martha Matthews, of Washington and Miss Mary Matthews of Brooklyn. Jobn J. Zuille who has been sick for some weeks, is better. THE WORLD OF TO-DAY. (By Woman.) Pasteur,aas been made a baron by the Emperor of Austria. It is said that England expends nearly $5,000,000 yearly to main-|, tain her spy system in America. A century ago there was a native population of 400,000 in the Hawai- ian islands ; now there are only 40,- 000. The American Missionary Asso- ciation recently in session at Port- land, Me., was addressed by an Apache Indian. There are now 23,000 less Irish soldiers in the British army than there were twenty years ago. Eng- lishmen have taken their places. Discoveries, inventions and com- pounds patented each year in the United States and never amountin to anything, costs $3,000,000. In the United States there is one divorce to about every twenty-five marriages, while in France there is only one to every 150 marriages. The latest ramor is that the Great Eastern will be brought over to New York and used as an ocean excursion boat and floating hotel. An attempt is to be made to launch the big timber raft in the Bay of Fandy. Two years ago an attempt was made to launch it that failed. It pays to be a successful explor- er. An offer of $50,000 was made to Stanley before leaving England, to write a book describing his lat- est travels. The announcement is made that the Chicago Tres has been sold by Mrs. Wilber F. Story to James J. West and Clinton A. Snowien, of the Eveninc Mam. In Germany and Switzerland the principales of all schools are requir- ed to dismiss their pupils at noon every day on which the thermome- ter at 10 a. m. registers 77 degrees. The Japanese Government has engaged a young San Francisco woman to organize a school of do mestic service at Tokio, to famil- iarize Japanese girls with our cus- toms. A syndicate of capitalists with $3,000,009 capital, bas purchased 63,000 acres of coal land in Breath- itt County, Ky., aud will at once open the mines and build raiiruads through the country. Natural gas was struck a short distance from Southfield, Micb., recently, at a depth of 112 feet. Stones weighing from forty to sixty pounds placed over the whole, were blown bigh into the air. “The Governor of Montana esti- mate the present population of the Territory at 130,000, an increase of 10,000 in the last year. The pres- ent year has been most favorable for the production of all staple crops. The yields without irriga- tion have been large. The original warrent on which Jobn Bunyan was arrested for im- prisonment, during which he wrote the first part of tue *‘Pilprim’s Pro- gress,” bas been recently found in England. It fills half a sheet of foolscap aud in it describes Bunyan as a “Tynker.” The Mormon brethern have ap- plied to the Porte for permission to establish a community in Turkey, and it is expected that the request will be granted. If Turkey would win the everlasting gratitude of the people of the United States, let her bid for our whole Mormon popula- tion. The youngest murderer in Georg- ia was sentenced recently iu tie Supreme Court, Augusta, to a life term in the penitentiary, for stab- bing a young man name Milo Thomas. His name is Chas. Henry Locksley, aud he is but eleven years of age, and is as black as polished ebony. The first steam laundry in the United States was opened in San Francisco, in 1854, by Jos. H. Hall. The first washing machine used by Mr. Hall cost upwards of $800. In the many years that have passed since Mr. Hall began operations the] laundry business has veen entirely revolutionized. A scheme is in progress in Me ico for tunneling the voleano « Popocatepetl through the erater, in order to reach the inimense sulphur deposits inside the mountain. A narrow guage railroad will counect the tunnel with town of Amecameca, |- which, in turn, will connect with the Morelos Road, leading to the national capital.
