Arnold to several citizens to meet at the Brg oflice on last Saturday afternoon, for the purpose of tendering a complimentary testimonial to Major C. A. Fleetwood, was re- sponded to by Dr. F. J, Shadd, Messrs. J. A. Johnson, A. K. Brodie, W. Il. J. Malvin, Col. Geo. M. Arnold, and Prof, J.T. Layton and others. Dr, Shadd was elected chairman of the com- mittee with Col. Arnold, secretary aud A. K. Brodie, financial eec- retary. Mr, Malvin was appoinot- ed to take charge of the tickets and 2,000 were ordered to be printed. Prot. J. T. Leyton was selected to manage the musical part of the testim »nial, assisted by Col. Arnold, Prof. Krause has volunteered his services and will render several musical selections by bis full orchestra, This tes- timonial will probably be the largest ever given in honor of any citizen, Prof. Layton is doing all he can to give au extraordinary programme on the occasion of the testimonial, which will be Friday evening, Feb. 15th, at the Metro- politan church. Some of the very best musical talent in tae city will take part. Full particulars next week. oe It is a sad sight to see an intoxi- cated person ov the street. How much more so is it to see a dull and sickly baby rendered so by the use of opiates? Dr. Bull’s Baby Syrup contains nothing injurious and may be given to the most delicate baby - a + oe THEY SAY Bruce will be the power behind the throne with the next adminis- tration. Langston will have his say. The claims of the young men will be recognized. It is about time that they should If you want first class wedding invitation printed come te the Bex office. _ The citizens should have a say in regard to district appointments. Those who have gotten themsel- ves rich should give others a show. Dr. Shadd is a favorite with the people. He is honest and upright. No man should be appointed un- less he has the confidence of the people. The district people will be con- sulted as to the Recorder of Deeds. No outsider need apply. It is the unwritten law of Gen’l Harrison. Fleetwood’s testimonial is the latest. Friday, Febuary 15th, at the Metropolitan church. Let everybody attend the testi- monial to Major Fleetwood. : The citizens reported handsome- y- The friends of Mr. Fred. Douglass will push him for District Commiss- ioner. Is it not about time for his friends to allow others to have a show? Beller’s is the place to purchase the Ber. Beller keeps a first class drag store. The Emancipation Celelration will be the greatest in the history of the colored people: The programme for the Fleet- wood testimonial will be unique and beautiful. Let everybody purchase a ticket for the Major’s testimonial. It is the duty of men when they are in the wrong to apologize. Langston has been wronged and the people will see that he is right- ed. Nathan Sprague is one of the most enterprising real estate men that we have. His daughters are as enterpzis- ing as he is. They are young ladies of talent. Never strike a man when he is down. All honest men will stand by Langston. H.C. Bruce is growing hand- some. The boys wilk give him a pension now. Dr. Upshaw is considering the propriety of going on the retired list. The doctor is a good fellow. Mr. Harrison wil disappoint the country. The negro will be protected as far as it lies in his power. The Bee is on the increase. Subscribers should pay up. The ministers meetingsin South Washington are growing. Let us have peace. Capt.0.S.B. Wall is a solid man. Col. Carson is to be the next Chief Marsbal for the District Emancipation. That is the best way to show union. A division will result in the loss of what is to be gained. Dr. F. J. Shadd was elected chair- ry of the Fleetwood testime- nial. The citizens readily responded to the Bse’s suggestion to tender the great colored soldier a testi- monial. Let us all tonor Fleetwood. He has served every church and charitable organization when he has been requested. Hon. A.M. Clapp has been @ faithful soldier and shoulé be one of the District Commissioners. Holland should be appointed to one of the positions. Nothing can be accomplished without effort. Men who patern after white peo- ple should act like white people. Mr. Cornish is satisfied with his corps af teachers. “They will compare as favorably with the whites if not better. They are not college graduates either. ee NEW YORK NOTES. The legislature of this state is now in session. Fremont Cole bas been elected speaker. The chairmen of the various commit- tees have been appointed, and if they carry out the reform sugges- tions contained in Gov. Hill's meersage. they may furnish them- selves with a goed record. St. Phillipp’s Church, which bas undergone some extensive improvements, is now open to its congregation. A new alter and chancel, new upholstery, new win- dows of the memorial style are among the improvements. It will continue as ever the tony church of this city. The Janot wing of the Southern Beneficial League will give a grand reception at Tamanay Hall on the 10th inst. It promisez to be a grand affair. The weather has been more spring like than winterish so far this season. The celebration of the Kmanci~ pation Proclamation last week was largely attended, It was held at Cooper Institute. Lang- ston’s address was the best one delivered there; he is our best statesman and ought to have bis seat in Congress. The ball of the Coachmen’s League at Wendell’s Assembly Rooms on the 3d, was not 80 largely attended as usual. Too near the holidays. The society of the Sons of New York elected Wash Parker presi- dent at their annual election, and their executive committee, of which Dr. Kk. W. Ray is chairman, are preparing for their annual ball which will be the social event of the season as usual. F. Van Wacken, of Albany, was in town during the holiday week. The Hanover Social Club held their 1st Annual reception at Lyric Hall, Jan. 8th. It called out the finest array of the first class ladies who have attended the hall this season, Craig’s or- chestra furnished the music, Among the ladies who attended were the following: Mesdames Griffin, Mando, P. Jackson, Cum- mings, C. Paul, May, Gilmore, and Gale. The dressing of the ladies was of such a happy, lively nature that the old’ writer was forgotten by all of the gay com- pany for that evening at least. Walter A. Boyd, of the reception committee, has our thanks for courtesies to the Bes man. The Southern Beneficial League had a ball at Wendell’s Assembly rooms on the 10th inst. It was given by the Janot faction of the once largest organization in this city. The attendance was not large but several prominent New Yorkers attended. Among them were W. E Gross and wife, Miss F. Pleasants, Mies A. Romes, Mrs. J. Collins, Mr. Oscar Paine and wife, R. H. Hucles, Mesdames Cordie Paul, Jo. White, Frankie Tousend, and Messrs Ed Flow, Lawyer Berrien, Ike Graves, Prof. Myers, T. C. Jarrot, W. A. Boyd, J. A. Matthews, and Miss Mary Willard. The ladies and gents appeared in full dress and the prevailing ornaments were natural flowers, a mark of respect to the mild weather prevailing at this time. About 500 guests took part with A. Janot and W. A, Boyd at the head. Craig furnished the music. The incorporated branch of this league will give an invita— tation affair soon that will aston- ish the natives. The Sous of New York intend to hold their annual reception at the Metropolitan Opera House. The celebration of Troys Cen~ tenial. Jan 5th, which lasted through the week, was managed by acommittee of 100 prominent citizens who rode ia carriages ip the grand parade. G. F. Balti- more, esq., was one of the committee. The visitors and residents are loud in their praise of the success of the celebration which was an occasion long to be remembered. R. F. McEntyre spent two days NEY G. D.

PERFORMANCES OF A BLIND COLORED YOUTH OF ABOUT THREE YEARS. Oscar Moore, a blind e lored boy, gave an exhibition cf memo- | ry at the Astor House a few days ago. According to his guardisn, H. P. N. Gammel, he was boru ot poor parents on a farm near Waco, Texas, Aug. 19, 1885, and should therefore, be ouly 3 years and 5 months old, and he does not ap- pear to be mune} older. In spite of his babyhcod he knows his multi- plication table perfectly, knows the | capital of every State in the Union and of every country in the worid with their iesp ctive population; rattles off the Presidenst from Washington to Cleveland, and names each according to bis num ber in the succession; counts 20 in 14 different languages, possesses a fund of historical, political, geoz- raphical, and scientific statistics and would put any Yankee Dea- con to shame with his mass of in- formation about Biblical subjects, from the number of verses and words to the number of Solemon’s wives. He will sing in English, German, Danish, or a!mst any other tongue. Ie add: d Spanish to his repertory. Oscar’s wonderful memory was discovered ubout two years ago. One of his older bruthers while re ting the multiplication table blundered at 4 times 12, which he gaid made 58. Four times 12 are 48,”piped Oscar with precision from his perch on the table. He is a very bright looking boy, with THE LADIES OF OUR SO-|irrepressible good spirits, a singu- larly-strong little body, aud face that is nearer yellow than black. His eyes seem perfect, but they are absolutely sightless. He shows that be has a logical mind as well asa good memory, fur he answers unexpected questions in a bright, prompt and intelligent manorer, and sometimes asks very unexpected questions himself. However, he likes playmates of his own age as well as older. Like Blind Tom, be applauds himself with great glee, especially after reciting a poem by Whittier Long- fellow, or Tennyson, or singing a German song.
