The Committee having charge of the arrangement for the Fair for the benefit of the Washington Cadet Corps are meeting with great success in their efforts.

Already there has been pledged articles for the Fair valued at over $500 and the cash subscription, it is estimated, will reach $200. The members of the Corps are working with the old time enthusiam and it will not be their fault if the Fair-Room is not crowed every night.

Carmel! and the Metropolitan, have followed suit. The Plymouth is farin the lead of them all, and Prof. Turley isthe man to make his Lyceum the most attractive, and mostinteresting of anyin the city.

Pet- way read a paper on Newspapers— @ potent factor in civilization. The speaker was most eloquent and logical and several times his utter- ances elicited enthusiastic applause. The paper was a defence of the press which is worth reading. It was discussed by Rev. W. B. John- son, Rev. Jacobs, Messrs. H.C. Smith, Whiting and others. Next Thursday evening Col. Geo. W. Williams, the historian, will read @ paper on “‘American Novelists.” Miss Florence Chapman, of Alex- andria, Va.,a refined vocalist and Messrs. Wm. B. Johnson, Tennes- see and Abe Myers, will sing. The exercises will be’ interesting. ro em Mr. A. E. T. Draper has been reinstated, to his position as clerk, in the Pension Ottice. Owing to some misunderstanding he was dis- charged some time ago, and after an investigation of hiscase it was found to bea mistake. Hon. I.G. Harris, a Senator from Tennesee in- terested himself in the case of Mr. Draper, as he did in the case of L. Murray Browne who was dis- charged on false representations. Although Mr. Harris is a demo- erat. he deserves credit for the in- terest he bas manifested in his col- ored constituents. He has never as yet refused to aid any colored man from his state who has asked for it. ee THE MASQUERADE. One of the finest masquerade balls was that given by the Capi- tol City Guards at their Armory last Tuesday evening. The masks were novelties, and unique in their character. Everybody en- joyed themselves. The ball was managed by Captain Joyce’s com- mitte which never fails. It wasa success, PERSONALS. Mr. T. W. Chase has just re- turned from New York where he has been on business. Messers Geo. W. Smith and B. C. Whiting were in the city this week. Mrs. P. H. Carroll who has been sick for some time is better, Mrs. C. A. Fleetwood who was taken with 4n attack of lock-jaw afew weeks ago, greatly to the gratification of her friends is fast improving. Mr. Charles R. Douglass who broke his leg a few weeks ago, is improving. SIFTINGS. The President, in his message, intimates that at the end ot the present tiscal year the surplus rev enue accumulated in the Federal ‘Treasury will amount to $140,000- 009. The council of the American Copy ight League declare the propositon recently made for a stamp system of copyright as un- wise, impracticable and a virtual surrender of the property rights of the author. The leakage of a uaphtha con- duit in'o the sewers of Roches ter N. Y. causes a biz explosion, which de-troye three mills. Three men kiiled und many injured. The damage is at leist $500,000. There scems to be a great deal of loose teffy in circulation in these “piping times of peace”. But taffy never yet run a colo:ed newspaper. We have had lots of great men to give us more t fly than we could conveniently crowd into a broad side of the Ber. Tafty and deceit ure synonymous terms,and mean exactiy and pre- cisly the same thing in this “R-spectable Community.” Look out for axes and hatchets: lots of them will be found. Now Mr. Blaine baving withdrawn from the Presidential race, the fiield is left open (?) to the next best man in the Republican Par- ty. Thereis method and diplom- acy in Mr, Blaine’s coup d’ elat and the denouement will develop itself at Chicago in June next. Mr Blainespeaking for himself, only expresses his individual opin- ion on the subject and without going to the trouble of positively refusing 10 accept the Presidential persimmon should it drop bis way. He still leaves it incumbent upon his thousands of loyal friends” to say whether or not he shall be the candidate for the struggle of ’88. Go to the Csdets Fair. NEW YORK NOTES. Blaine’s declination is the topic of the day here. The molesty with which be declines a noninaticrso long before it is tendered, is rot surprising to many of the knowing ones; and from a number of press interviews published to-day from all parts of the country, I take sides with those who think its only an Open vid for the nomination, I see by last weeks issue of the Ber, an article fo- Fred. Douglass. I was not surprised at it for have theught so for years. Big- gest little man is. yood. The Collins—Evens wedding at Ste Philips last Wednesday was flashy toa fault. There was a canopy from the eurb to the church door. Four brides- maids, pretty girls all of them, elegantly attired and this tony church filled with ladies and gentlemen, colored and white, was very much like a Fairy scene. There is a tempest in a tea-pot in this State, raised by some pea nut politicians because the Superintendent of Public Buildings at Albany in fnrnishiag the Exccutive Mansion, put some carpet on the floor aud a piano iu the parlor and a tablle in the Billiard room, forgetting for the time tt.at this Mansiou was built and furnished for whom the people of this state see fit to elect as Governor of the state.

Let there be harmony iv the Emanci- pation Celebration, The Washington correspondent :f the NEW YORK AGE, Mr. Mathews, had bet- ter write the truth about those who at- tended the meeting of the sore heads at the iti Baptist church. When he at- tempts to question the gentlemanship of those who disagreed with those sore heads he makes a mistake. A comp:rison would convince the correspondent that he cau’t stand the ealciun light.

Catarrhal virus is soon expelled from the sys- tem, and the diseased action of the Tucous membrane is replaced by healthy secretions. The dose is small. One package contains a sufficient quantity for a long treatment. CATARRH A Cold in the Head is relieved by an application of Piso’s remedy for Catarrh. The comfort to be got from it in this way is worth many times its cost. Easy and pleasant to use. Price, 50 cents. Sold by druggists or sent’ by mail. E.T. Haze.tine, Warren, Pa. PISO'S. CURE FOR Piso’s Cure for Con- sumption is also the best Cough Medicine. If you have a Conen without disease of the Lungs, a few doses are all you need. But if you ne- glect this easy means of safety, the slight Cough may me a serious matter, and several bot- tles will be required.
