Che Terms. $1.50 Per WHATI SAW, AND HEARD. | had the pleasure of listening to an excellent paper by Mrs. E. J. Cooper, on last Sabbath afternoon atthe 2nd Baptist church. She panded the subject in a philosophi- cal manner and so well was her paper read that she got the plau- s of all present. My genial friend R. D. Raffin, was acting president and as usual he was in - his happy modes. Mrs. ris one of the most refined cultivated lady’s among us syd she always make an umpres- .ion wherever she speaks. She is jignified and eloquent and she ban- jjed her subject in an artistic man- Lawyer Ricks is a good rea- is wellas my genial friend Hewlett. Both of these gentlemen wade strong arguments in support of the lady’s paper. ae ige Moss was presented with | headed cane last week by ce force of this city, for his defense of officer Dean. Moss knows What be is about when he aclient, be he white or a*s Public Printer Palmer is gradu~ ily appointing Afro-Americans. He tas made more appointments this people than any Public printer that ever held the office. He doesn’t know what it is to dis- te against a Negro.

They havea different opinion of Capt, Vernon. *,* friend there. Col. Brackett has returned from Camp well and hearty as ever. The Col. is a jolly man and is liked by all who know him. * x Recorder Brace needs a private secretary. His mail is so large now and his morning callers are so numerous that he does not have time to look at bis mail until in the afternoon. Yes, the Recorder needs a private secretary and a few vacancies. The atmosphere in the is healthier than it has ever been. The employes can breathe better. They are not watch- el like a cat watching a mouse. Schyer looks natural in his old position, Recorder's oftice as » sage of Anacostia has re- turned to the city looking well aad hearty. The Haytian climate im- proyed the old man very much. He is as fresh and vigorous looking asa young man.

SMITH oO ied from the Cipher of last week.] “He” was in opposition to J. on Turner, and he became ‘in avery short time. ‘He” ! be could against T. E. Bur. vv Congress and Mr. Barton he nominee of bis party. “He” ed hard against the late L. irner for constable bat Mr. er got there all the same. was for defeating S. T. Ever- lor the Congressional nowina- Mr. Everett was nominated ‘bout any trouble. “He” was aud body down on C. C. Dews- ‘ tor sheriff, but Dewstoe was inated notwithstanding the Ust-headed prevaricator. “He” Was out and out against Joe Shields “county treasurer, but the party ‘ominated him. “He” filled bis eels With slash against Thomas 7 Xworthy for city treasurer, and ‘*\ Axworthy, was twice elected nei Smith’s protest. He’ work- a “gainst Alf. Jerome for county ee ‘lssioner and Mr. Jerome was * inated. “He” worked against « wleseut county clerk, when he en the nomination and was Suitated with a rush. “He” was year in Advance, iD great opposition to E. B. Cor- nell tor police commissioner aud yet Cornell was nominated. “He” was envious of John T. Morris and Mr. Morris was given an excellent position as draughtsman in one of our best firms. “He” was at war with O. T. Jackson, but Mr. Jack- 80n was successful in taking Smith’s lady love from him. “He” wanted to be a delegate to the National Republican convention and was fighting every other colored man to keep them out. Yet Smith was left. “He” fought the very emi- nent educators, Peter H. Clark and his son, A. A. Clark, and they both how occupy better positions than ever. “He” said all manner of in- decent things about the social cir- cle and its members, and still it lives with more popularity than ever before. ‘‘He” has abused the Cleveland Globe in every conceiv- able manner, and now it 1s the most popular in the State of Ohio, and we dare Smith to deny it in his| law, practices in all the courts of columns. “He” took ap a line of fight against the Hon. John C. Co- vert, the editor of one of the best abolition journals in Ohio, the Cleveland Leader, but Mr. Covert continued to live and have his being on earth and is now on the broad road to fame. ‘He’ slurred Mrs. Murry, avery estimable old lady- Mr. Murry, ber husband, visited the den where this mov- atrosity was caged, and recited what would be the subsequent ifit occurred ,again about his wife. *He” took occasion to speak very unbecoming of that very elegant lady Mrs. D. Stokes. Her husband put on his high top boots, took off his specks, put on his walking jack- et, took his heavy hickory walking cane in hand, and went io search of the learned (?) ‘*baby” editor (?); found him and taught the Cleveland half-matured misrepre~ senter an important lesson. “He” is now in war against W. Calvin Chase, editor of the Washington Ber, which is a true sign that some great fortune or fame awaits him. Read ucxt weeks Giove. THEY SAY The deeds of good men will live when they are dead. Great deeds are found in great men. Great men dosmall things some times. The colored troops were in camp last week. They had no flies on them eitier. Baston will be in bloom in a few days. Honest men are hard to find, and when you find them keep them. An honest man is like a good frend. When you find him keep him. Go to Hall’s 927 11th St., p. w, He plays between the acts. Never despair although the ene~ my is behind you. The enemy is not always dan- gerous. It is the pretended friend. Cooper is a wide awake editor. The “Freeman” is a great jour- nal. Men things. Look out for a few important appointments soon. The Legion of Honor still lives. Call atthe’ Bee office and get first class printing. Never be certain about any thing. A man who will not pay borrow- ed money will beat his washer wo- man. R. D. Ruffin knows how to talk. He would rather talk than eat. Superintendent Cook has im- proved.
