Amen. Bah! KING MARLEAUX. SPENCER ROBINSON'S SWEETHEARTS: THERE WAS ONE TOO MANY AND HE Took THE WASHINGTON GIRL, OF COURSE. Cape May, N. J., Aug. 9.—Spen- cer Robinson, a colored Washing- | ton barber, long employed at the Hamilton Iouse, but for the past season at Carrull’s barber shop iu this city, was taken before the mayor Wednesday on a complaint prefered by Miss Gertrude Vance, a respected colored girl and for eleven years ex-mayor Melvin’s nurse girl. After a preliminary consulta. tion, the cause of all this trouble, one Sarah Lewis, a teacher in the Washington public school in the John F, Cook building, below O street, was also sent for to appear before the mayor, and the confer- ance resulted in the disclosure of the tact that Robinson had en- gaged himself to her,and she had learned after his absence from Washington that he had also en-~ gaged himself to Miss Vance. It was then determiued by the mayor that further proceedings in the matter should be defered un- Having the power in “das? May I then be in ‘ corner in thesky to look til yesterday at 4 p. m., but at the expiration of this time no Robin~ son or no Miss Lewis appeared. It was subsequently learned by the chief of police, who searched for them, that they bad skipped the town together. The rascality ofthis man was clearly demonstrated, as he denied before the mayor being engaged to either one, and Miss Lewis un- besitatingly stated before all par- : ties interested that he had prom—j; ised to marry her, notwithstanding bis statement to Cape May’s may- or and chief ot police to the contrary. Miss Vafice is well satisfied with the result, as her settled wish was to make them both leave the town at once— Washinglon Post, August, 10th. <9 A MARVELOUS WALKING sTICK. A walking stick for tourists and botanists, recently patented in Ger- many by Herr Herb, of Pulsnitz, is furnished with the following articles: One side of the handle is a signal call, and on the other side can be fixed a knife (which is above the ferrule), In tbe middle of the handle 1s a compass. The handle itself can be screwed off, and within ie a small microscope with | six object glasses’ In the stick under the bandle, i3 a vessel con taining ether or chloroform. Outside the stick there is insert- | ed on one side a themometer, aud on the other sidea sand or minute) lass.

Mail and Express. SE ee HOW THEY MAKE THIMBLES. The way thimbles are made in England and in this country is sim- ple enough. Dies of the different sizes are used, into which the met- al, whether gold, silver, or steel, is pressed. The hole punching, fin- ishing, polishing and tempering is done afterwards. Celluloid and rubber are molded. The best thimbles are made in France, / where the proce~s 1s more thorough, Strange as it may seem, the French consider duribility in their uisite. The first step in the ma king of a Paris gold thimble is the cutting into a disk of the desired size a thin piece of sheet irou, This is brought toa red heat. placed over a graduated hole in an iron bench aud hammered down into it with a punch. This hole is the form the of thimble. The iron takes its shape and is removed | from the hole. The little indenta- tions to keep the needle from slip- ping are made in it and all other finishing strokes of the perfect thimble pat on it. The iron is then made into steel by a process pecul- iar to the French thimble maker, and is tempered, polished and brought toa deep blue color. A thin sheet of gold is then pressed into the interior of the thimble and fastened there by a mandril. Gold leaf is attached to the outside by great pressure, the edge of the leal being fittedin and held by small grooves at the base of the thimble. The article is then ready for use- The gold will last for years. The steel never wears out and the gold can be readily replaced at any time. Nowhere else in the world are gold thimbles made in that way.—Chambers’s Journal. TOWN 'TALK. The President will stand by the Negro. Nothing is certain until it is made certain, 1s the maxim of the law. John H. Brooks will not be ap- pointed school trustee. 3 The people are opposed to him. What has the white people to do with our culored trustees? Allow the colored people to name their own oflicers. Senator Chandler will use every effort to defend the rights of the Negro- The Cleveland applicants must take a back seat. Senator Sherman, the Ohio war horse, will enter the Ohio campaign. Sherman will surely be nomina- ted in 92 if President Harrisson is not. Every Negro who can ought to leave the South. The burning of two republican postmasters in efligy is au evidence ot democratic teeling towards the Negro iu the South. Dawson, Chief Clerk, of the Inte- rior Deparment, ought to be re- moved. Applicants for the school trus- teeship are numerous. One only, at this writing will be selected. Men who think themselves above the people must step down and out. Commissioner Douglass will see that we have decent and respecta- ble trustees.

Bruce of Kansas, who was recently promoted to class second ($1,400) by Commissioner Tanner of the Pension offiee is a good clerk and deserves the recoguition giv- en him. He went in the office ata salary of $720, and by a strict at- tention to his duties as a clerk, he was promoted first to $900, then $1,000, $1,200 and now to $1,400; and all these promotions based upon his record in the office. We are pleased to see that Commis- sioner Tanner is doing the fair thing by his colored clerks. He has also promoted Mr. C. R. Dong- las of this city to $1,400, which is another worthy case. Since Mr. Tanner bas had charge of the office, four colored men have been detail- ed as special examiners and sent to the field to specialy investigate Pension Claims. He is the first Republican who has recognized colored men in this direction. Commissioner Black sent out two, Mr. Houser and Mr. Tanner. We heartily commend the action of Commissioner Tanner, IN A NUTSHELL.
