The officers of the Capital City Guards proceeded in a body Tues- day evening 15th iast., to the residence of Mr. W.H. Lee, an honorary member of said organi-~ zation, and presented him with a set of resolutions engrossed on parchment and elegantly framed in acknowledgement of his gener- ous liberality towards the Guards and especially on the occasion of the trip to the New York centen- nial in April last. A genuine surprise Was in store for the offi- cers, for no sooner had Maj. Rev- ells made the presentation speech and Lieut. Douglass read the res- olutions. and after a speech by Capt. Wilkenson on bebaif of Mr. Lee in accepting the gift, the door to his dinning room opened seem ingly by magicand a beautifully supplied table beautifully decorat- ed with the choicest cut flowers, presented itself to the admiring geze of those present. Mr. and Mrs. Lee, it seemed, had not been taken alioge'her by surprise but the officers bad. The menu was eluborate, and well served. Turkey, bam, chicken salad, pota- to salad, roast chicken, fried oysters, Oysters stewed and a num ber of other dishes with vegetables and coffee, chocolate and claret Several hours were spentin doing justice to the table, ufterwhich an adjournment to the parlor was had and a number of lively piano solos were listened to. It w.s near midnight then, and the officers began to get their over coats. Mr Lee called, halt! fours right about, march! and in less time than it takes to pen these limes, the officers of the Guserds found themselves drawn upon either side of a long table heavily laden with fruits, boxes ot cigars, cakes, cheese, crackers and a row of heavy silver champagne coolers each containing a quart bottie of that finest of wines. It was no use Lee had captured the boys for the night. There was every thing in abundance. Toasts were responded to by Major Rev-~ ells, Captains Annanias Herbert, Wilkenson, Lieut. Douglasa, Capt. Perry and Lieut. Joice. Thus terminated an evening long to be remembered by the officers of the C. C, G’s. DISCRIMINATION i IN THE BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND PRINTING. BAD BEGINNING FoR THE NEW CHIEF. When Capt. Wm. Meredith was appointed Chief of the Bu- reau of Printing and Engraving, it was said that worthy and com~ petent colored men aud women would be treated fairly and de~ cently. In fact Capt. Meredith himself said, that colored employ- es would not be discriminated ugainet so longas he remained chief of that department. It now comes to light that Capt. Mere- dith bas drunk of the cup of pre- jadice that has been so prevalent in.that office and it is such an in- toxicant drink that all new chiefs are prejudiced by wheu they al- low themselves to be diuned by those who have ro regard for the colored people. : Hie first victim isa Miss Vic- toria Singletou, who passed a suc &|cesstul civilservice examination for a printers assistant, After she had been certified to by the civil service commission she pre-~ sented herself to Capt. Meredith. who escorted her up stairs or where she was go to work and asked her how she liked the place. She said that she was well pleas- ed with her position. A few days thereafter, it is said, that she was met by Mr. ©. C. Stewart, who requested her to go with him to the chief, which she did and on being iatroduced tothe chief, he Stewart, said to Capt. Meredith, that be hoped that he, Meredith. would doall he couid for her. It seems however that the lady had been appointed and assigned to duty. After Stewart left Capt. Meredith seem to manifest a sur- rise at Miss Singleton, whom he took to be a white lady, c ming to him with a colored man and such a man as Stewart; as he is report ed to have remarked when Stew- art left. It will never do said Capt. Meredith, to appoint a col- ed woman a3 a printers assistant, the printers will not have it. The chief concluded that he had made a mistake by appoint- ing a colored lady and immediat~ ely sent tothe Treasury depart- ment revoking the appointment as printers assistant and appointed her as a messenger in another room, Jack Frost said to the Lily. “Wilt thou,” and she wilted. Wilt thou, dear reader, buy a Lieut Runnine New Home Sew- ing Machine. Don’t, wilt but say yes, and send us your address to 28 Union Square, New York, a ee ROSSLYN, VA. A MINISTER ORDAINED —INTERESTING EXERCISES—REV. JAMES H, LEE GIVES GVOD ADVICE. The little church in Rosslyn, Va. across the acquiduct bridge, known as the First Baptist church, was packed Sunday afternoon, notwithstanding the rain. The oc- casion was the ordination of Rev. Geo. W. Cole, as pastorof that church. It has been but a few years, since Rev. Cole could be seen with a bible in his hand pre- pairing himself for the Christian ministry, until he at last succeeded ouly by close application to study. As a worker the First church has a good man,asa Christian and a genileman Rev. Cole has no equal. A little after the hour for the services to begin, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, read a passage from the scriptare, followed by a beautiful hymn, which was sung by the whole congregation. Rev. James 4H. Lee, of the 3rd Baptist church was introduced and preached an in teresting ordination sermon, tak- ing for his text Thess. 3; 11 verse. Rev. Lee begun by ‘saying that the light of the materal sun is hailed with joy and gladness, and wel- comed by every nation under th blue conopy of heaven. . But uow much more is the light of the sun of rightousness to be desired? Ifthe one be necessary for oar comfort in this life the oth- er is necessary to guide usin the way to life eternal. Hence the apostle, not only labored to spread the gospel himself, but endeavored to get all of God’s people interest- ed in its behalf, that by their uni- ted prayers it might be established in all the world. Paul met with opposition and obstruction in preaching the gos- pel where he was then laboring, this was the case with all the rest of his fellow ministers and co-work- ers. This is the case now where- ever the word of God is preached and in its simplicity. and under the power and denomination of the Holy Ghost. Pray for the brother whom you havecalled for your spirtual leader; pray that he may have physical, mental and spiritual strength. A spirtaal leader must have spirtual strength to enlighten and enliven others. Rev. Lee spoke at some length and conclud- ed his excellent discourse by say- ing that is the great commission given by Cbrist—Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Brethren pray for us that the word of the Lord may have free course and be glorified. And because Christians have in every age prayed to God for the success of the world, Infidels have laboured in vain to over-throw the ear of Salvation. The church is founded on arock, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Brethren and sisters covtinue in prayer for the onward march of the Gospel of the Son of God. In the absence of Rev. BR. S. Laws, who was to have presented the church to the pastor, and Rev. Lee, whotook the place of Rev. Robert Johnson, who was to have preached the ordination, Rev. Brooks presented the pastor to the church in a most impresisve man- ner. He told the congregation what their duty was towards their J. . Geelidge, HARNESS ATTACHMENT, Patented NovEMBER 13TH, 1888. THE GREATEST LIFE SAVING DEVICE. meade J.S. Cooxipar’s Harness Attachment is the best thing of the kind ever put on the Market. It is so ar- ranged that any one can secure it to any harness, in three minutes, without cutting the same in any way, right out in the street. It canbe taken off the harness in two minutes, and the harness returned to its former style without the least trouble or exertion. It saves time in hitching and unhitching as a horse_can_be at- tached to the vehicle in less than 30 seconds and extri- cated in less than 5 seconds. It is an ornament to the harness and contains nothing in its parts to get out of order, the case being so constructed that the straps can be lengthened or shortened as is required. The Bolt is removable secured so as to allow the spring to be removed when worn. The particular advantage this device possesses over others consists in the con- structions of the case and arrangements of the straps, whiereby the same may be attached to any harness without cutting the same, as has heretofore been nec- cessary in order touse devices of this character. To the Joop of the Bolt may be attached lines 28, said lines being connected with the driver by suitable means, so that i ageable, the horse runs or becomes unman- the tightening of the lines will draw the bolt 12, and the spring 24 will cast the plate 16 aside and release the animal from the vehicle. Any woman or child can hitch or unhitch a horse without the slight- est trouble. Thousands of the attachments are being used every day. new pastor; thatehe was to be the overseer aud not they; that he was the best judge to know what to preach and not they. On present- ing the charch to the new pastor Rev. Brooks stated the pastor’s duty towards the church and what the people ex ected of him. The pastor, said Kev. Brooks, must vis- it his people, if he wanted them to stand by and follow him. The cer emonies were very interesting from begining to end. The first work that Rev. Cole willdo now will be to commence to build a new church. He is @ progressive man and one who never tires, and less than a year he expects to have a church on the way, provided he gets the united support of his peo- ple. Heis not the manto fail. Several attempts have been made by former pastors of the church to build, but they have all failed, the reason was the right man had not come. But now the members be- lieve that the right man is now in the right place. — POSTPONED. The grand corner stone laying which was to have taken place at the Mt. Carmel Bapt. Church last Monday afternoon at’ o’clock was postponed, on account of the weath- eruntil 3 p.m. the 4th Sunday in this month. Bat the programme for the evening was carried out to perfection. The house was called to order by the pastor Rev. S. G. Lamkins who announced that Rev. J. I. Loving would preside as master ceremonies which he did with much dignity and honor. Rev. Mrs. Lamkins, Miss Harvey, Miss Sadie Robinsou, Miss Lottie Brockenbrough and Mr. Geo. Lu- cas rendered most excellent masic on the occasion. They are destined to take high rank in the musical world, with patience and persever~ ence. Prof. Solomon G. Brown read with much affect to the de- light of all present an original po- ems of his own selection.« How the husband should treat the wife” and Rev. W. B. Johnson D.D. gave one the most logical and instruc- tive lectures of the season. Tak- ing for his subject “Rats.” After he had expostulated upon every species of rats known to the rat family and one or two more he said I am not going to talk of these four leged rats to night buat two leged rats. He then proceed- ed to speak of the old rat and the young rat, the lean and the fat rat and closed with telling words on | the pulpit, rats who could be found in every church. The whole lect | ure abounded with laughter and in- struction, the Rev. Dr. has been requested to repeat it soon at said chureb. Rev. Geo. W. Lee pastor} of 5th Bapt. church was called for) and made a fine talk of which space forbids us to speak. He) manifested and always bas great interest in the pastor of Mt. Car mel church. After the speaking the Rev. Gentlemen ate chicken and other good things that had been provided for them, which were served by Miss Scott, Mrs. Brockenbrough «snd daughter.) Miss O.
