Mr. Henry Dismer, at the Cor. of 11th and I sts., n. w., is one of the most ailiable and liberal Ger- mans in this city and his wife is as equally as hospitable, gave the boys a regular surprise party a few days ago. There was a wager, which is not necessary to name, as itis known by those interested, and which was the cause of a great deal of conjecture on the part of his immediate friends. Henry made great preparations before the time of the great event, which dis- appointed him, and which was the occasion of a great joke on bim. It isan old adage, “he laughs best who laughs last;” in this case Henry laughed last and to the dis- comfortere of the community, bis amiable wife presented him the long looked for charm, a little son.

Mr, Editor:—The guests at this hotel were treated to a delightful entertainmeut in the form of an impromptu musicale, last Tues- day evening July 31. Comparison would be invidious, bat we will occupy enough of your valuable space to mention the most striking parts of the programme. A chorus opened the exercises, which was well received, This was followed by a vocal duett be- tween Mr. Henri Strange of Phila. and Miss Eva Chase of Washing- ton. The applause that followed merited an encore but Mr. Joseph Adger the genial stage manger an- nounced that no encores, would be given, on account of the lengthy programme. This was followed by a dramatic recitation by Miss Tillie Herbert the well known Trenton Elocutionist. Again the audience clamored for an encore but a treat was in store in the shape ofan in- strumental duett (piano'and vielin) by Mr, Jos. Adger and Mr. Sandy Allsop» two leading Phiia., musi- cians. The delighted audience heartily applauded Miss Bertie Richards who next gave a recita- | tion, and were then treated toa dialogue which evidenced the dra- matic talant of Mr. Strange the | well known tragedian, a quartette | by Messrs. Strange, Alsop, Misses Chase and Herbert brought down the house. Your correspondent hopes that this will only be one of |a series of such entertainments | which prove that the race is advanc- ing, in its work of elevating and refining the rising generation.

A Midday Musical was given in the parlors of the Havelow House Aug., 6, under the auspices of Misses Tillie Her- bert of Trenton and Eva A Chase of Washington, D.C. Among the participants were Miss Bessie Simms of Baltimore, whose instru- mental solo was well rendered. The rendition of Poorhouse Nan was exceptionally fine by Miss Til- lie Herbert personated a little child gathering daises, and alarmed by the approach of her dog Rover, the tones of fhe child were so charm- ingly imitated. and the child’s grief so natural that the aud~ ience Was delighted, and eagerly clamored for another. The next star is Prof. Layton, Washington’s favorite who always holds his own wherever ie goes. Miss Inez Cas- sey of Phila., then executed a selection from Bethovion in her usually artistic manner. The in- strumental duett (violin and piano) by Profs. Joseph Adger and Sandy Alsop of Phila., the well known musicians of the north was bighly pleasing and elicited much ap- plause.

HIS SERVICES TO HIS PARTY AND PEOPLE, HoW HE WAS HuN- ORED BY MR. BLAINE. The Bee this week publishes a sketch of Colonel Carson, for the purpese of informing the public who he is and bow he was treated in New York by the people and how he was received by Mr. Blaine. Biographical ske‘ch of the life and services of Col. P. H. Carson, member of the National Commit tee of the District of Columbia. Col. Carson was born Jan 16, 1832, at Baltimore, Md. He is the son of Benjamin Carson now living in Bulto., and enjoying ex- cellent health, and will soon cele- brate his 83rd year. His mother, Maria Carson, died in 1857 in her 48th year. The Col’s. father came to Baltimore in 1846, from Somer- ville gounty, Md., and was em- ployed by Wilson & Co., whole- sale grocers, and shortly after became the leading st!evedore and fayorite among the business men around the Exchange Place In 1867 he moved to Tolston Town, Md., where he engaged us a far- mer for several years when he unfortunately had his house and barns with their contents consum- ed by fire, the work of his enimies for his determination in strictly adhering to the dictation of his own conscience. He was the father of 9 children, 7 boys and 2 irls. The subject of this letter, Col, P. H. Carson, was the third child bora to the venerable old couple. At18 years of age he went us an apprentice boy to learn his trade as a white washer where be worked until he was 20 years of age. Abandoning his old trade he weut to work at the biick-yard where he worked until 1858, from there he joined bis father and worked as a stevedore, shortly afterwards he married bis preseut wife who was Miss Ilester A. Bradford. 1n 1861-2 he engaged in oyster shucking and packing in the city of Baltu., and when the war broke out he was made the foreman of 6 gangs of laborers who were engaged in throwing up enbaukmenis for fortifications around the city, In 1864 he re- solved to enlist as a soldier, and exerted himself among his friends to go and join the army with him and assist io the great struggle of liberating 4,000,000 of his people. They accordingly left Baltimore for Laucaster, Pa, where the Col. and his comrades enlisted in the Union army, being mustered in at Camp William Penn, aad was assigued to Co, C., 24th Pa. U.S. C. 'T.. Private Carson was soon made corporal and before leaving camp Was promoted to sergeant aniserved as such during the war. Immediately after the cessation of hostilities his regiment was mus- tered out of the service and he con- eluded to reside in Washington. In 1868 he was solicited to take part in the campaign in the interest of the Hon. Sales J. Bowen for mayor of the city. This was the beginning of a great and eventful life. Mayor Bowen was elected and he immediately appointed Col. Carson as his messenger. Two years later he was appointed chief messenger to Goy. Cook and after the Territorial goverament was abolished in the District he was ap- pointed superintendent of water- plugs. While holding this position in 187’, Hon. Frederick Douglass was appointed United States Mar- shall and selected Col, Carson as Deputy Marshal and placed him in command of all the prisioners in the custody of the several courts. This proved to be not only an ex- perimental scbool, buta dangerous ds wellas a responsible position. He‘gave general satisfaction dur- ing’ Mr. Douglass’ term of 4 years, and retained the position under Marshal Henry, Mr. Douglass sue- cessor. It was during this term that the exciting trial of Chas. J. Gnuiteau took place, the Col. was equal to the emergency, receiving the prisoner at the jail each day, and amid the excitement and clam- or for revenge for the assassination of President Garfield, he would safely land his prisoner, and de- liver him to the court. Col. Carson was not disappointed as he, day after day, expected an attack on guibg to and returning trom the court, and was, therefore, not tak en by surprise when the dangerous affair took place. Marshal Me. Michael succeeded Mr. Henry, and tue Col. remained but a short time in his old position, his resignation was asked for and was readily fur- nished. He then concladed to open ahotel. His hotel continued to grow in popularity and is now well known to the traveling public. The Col. entered politics at a time when there was no recognized leader of his race in Washington who enjoy- ed the confidence of the working} Boston Comfort classes. The Colonel belongs to the old school and does not boast of his educational training but has a few} srdinary corsets.

Col. Carsons reputation now be- came national aud he has been styled the Parnel of his race. He is # member of several charitable and benevolent associations and attends his church regularly, and is in every way endeared to his people whom he faithfully repre- sents. 1n 1888 he announced him- self throngh his friends, ag a candidate for the suffrages of tis people, as ~a. deiegate to tke National Republican Convention at Chicago. This was a signul for his oppouents to pre- pare to defeat him, and they went to work manfully and made a des- perate struggle to leave him at home. The convention was also an exciting one and everywhere could be seen the master hand of Carson’s well drilled combination, ‘The Cols. ticket was elected by ac- clamation and his opponents re~ peated the fight of ’76, and sent a contesting delegation to the National Conveution, with the result that Carson was seated. Col. Carson was again appointed on the National Committee to notify Messrs Harrison and Mor- ton of their nomiuation. He has performed his several duties to the entire satisfaction of everybody, aud has received the high com- pliment of “well done thy good and faithful servant.” Lis last tripto New York was to welcome America’s idol, home, Hon. Jus. G, Blaine. After spending a happy time with his many friends in New York and calling upon Hon. Jas. G. Blaine and family, he returned to his home to arrange for the ac- tive duties of the upproaching campaign. Col. Carson will ad- dress a letter to his people in a faw days touching their duty as citizens in the coming president- ial election. : & LIFE OF HARKISUN AND MORTON.
