I can assare you eo aff a ain e lace sometime t month. Of course it will be a surprise, a8 DO one is expecting it. The household will be more surprised than the school mams. * * Well I attended church last Sab- bath morning and you have no idea how I enjoyed Rev. Grimkie’s ser mon. I never had the resurrection of Cbrist explained to me 80 logically as it was on last Sabbath. The singing was splendid. My gen- jal and enterprising friend Mr. Thompkins deserves the highest praise for the music be and his choir rendered on last Sabbath morning. I have but one criticism to make and that is, when Rev. Grimkie is praying those iu the eboir should keep tueir seats and not move from place to place. It doesn’t look well; it shows bad raising. I hope that I shall not be compelled to speak of this again. *,* Strangers! did you say, my dar- ling girl, the church was full. Many of tbe housebold was out in Spring style. Some of the dresses looked very pretty, especially those worn by the household. *,* Av important matter was brought up a few evenings ago and I really think that it is right that it should have been discussed and I am more than pleased to know that the question will be brought to the attention of the young men who can be seen standing out in tront of the church gazing in the faces of per. sons, and especially the ladies. Iam intormed that it is the custom. It is certainly a very vulgar one. *,* Profs. Layton and Grant will in- rodace a few of their pupils in nging. They will compete for the andford medal. The exercises no | bt will be the graudest ever 1 in the District of Columbia. ‘ybody is interested and will do thing to make the affair a s. lexceedingly regret that 1s but one principal in the chools who allows the pupils olbim. I understand that sipal of the Steven school is controlled by his pupils. the trustee of that divis be made aware of it. It sen brought to the atten Cook. By the way this sman who was » candi- supervising principal- iling to get that he| had the Garnett rould not get that. I teacher who can not control his school. 7 The services of the reformers on last Sabbath were largely attended. | In fact standing room was ata | premium, | a*e | Ibave been asked whether a {compliment froma married man | to a single girl can be accepted in good faith? Tam certain that a married man if he is honest, is |jast aa capable, and more so to an extent, in giving a compliment to |a young lady as any oneelse. A |woman who is always afraid of being talked about is tue woman | that should always be most watch- ed. an honest woman never fears any jevil. She never gives her sur— roundings a thought. Some wom- en never commence to be careful | until they are beyond redemption. |A person who has fallen fom grace 1s always afraid of being | talked about. This is hypocracy | It doeen’t benefit the woman, | Such actions would tend to drive aman off rather than win him, | You can’t insult a lady. You |may ask why? A lady will not |give youan opportunity to insult her; you don’t know how to be gin to insult a lady; but, if you say the least thing to some peo-~ ple who cry fire when it 18 all out, you should just trace their pedi- grees. It a woman is insulted it is her own fault. No gentleman would disgrace himself by insult- | ing # lady. * | me | Tam glad to see so many of Jour youag girls looking out for work other than school teaching. Some of them have an idea that there is no other occupation but school teaching. All that our girls want now is for the avenues Give them an opportunity and I know that they will embrace it. | Until yeu hear from me remem- | ber, | Yours lovingly, Lovisz. | — EMANICIPATION CELEBRA TION.

LANGSTON THE OKATOR, A large meeting of the commit- tee of arrangements for the 29th anniversary of the emancipation of slaves in the District of Columbia met at the office of the Bre last Monday evening, with C. H. Wat- son in the chair and W. H. Joues, | Secretary, Mr. Chase said that he had secured the permit from the | District Commissioness for the | grand stand to be erected at Lin- |coln Park April 16th. The trastees of the public schools | and Supt. George F. T.

Gregory, and Mr. D. E. Cabill. The medals will be on exhibition at the Bex office week after next. Prof. J. W. Crom- well of the Garnett schools wrote to the committee as his school is to compete for one of the medals he would prefer not to be on the com mittee, and after some discussion it was decided to appoint a new committee. Mr. Chase said that Superinten- dent Cook had arranged how the essays should be marked, so that every one would be satisfied. Not | even the committee will know who | the successful competitors ‘will be. | Mr. Chase appointed the following to pass on essays: Rev. F. J. Grim kie, Rev. J.T Steward Rev. Dr. Bowen, Mrs. John R. Lynch, E. M. Aewlett, and Rey. Wm. Waring. | Mr. Chase offered a resolution, | which was unanimously adopted, | that appointment of Capt. James | A. Perry by Gen. Albert Ordway meets the hearty approval of this |committee and good citizens who are not applicants for the place. The secretary was directed to informed the managers of the I have always noticed that| Home for Destitute Girls to ap-| itself into a convention and put! point a committee of five persons to work in conjunction with the committee of arrangements. After the adjournment of the eommittee of arrangements the committee on speakers met with W.H. Jackson in the chair. A communication was read from Hou. John M. Langston heartily except- ing the position as orator of the day, April 16tb. — THEY SAY Measure for Price received. measure is what Sprague seized the PiLor. It was a cunning trick i but Sprague got there. The court 1s the place to go for vindication. When you beat Sprague 1 you have got to rise early. He will not take aay foolishness. Sprague will run a decent paper. What to uo rrice doesn’t know. Disappointmeats single handed. Trouble Some men are very wise in their own estimation. never come hever comes alone, Do you want to know the news, read the Bee? It was about 11:30 when Sprague took possesion of the PILor. Price says he will not be left. The same trick that was practiced on Cromwell} was prac Price. ‘his is ml for measure. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Honesty is the best policy. Trath will pravail. The P1107 is no longer half price. Don’t forget the prize essay read- ing at the Metropolitan Baptist Chureh, April 16th. Don’t fail to bear the prize essay April 16th by the public school children, Moss the principal of the Steven’s school has not the control of his pupils. When a school controls the prin- cipal he should step down and out. Be patient and do all you ean for your fellow man although he will oppress you. Success in business is an indica- tor that you aretreating your fellow man well. There is hope when there 1s life. Unhappy is the aneasy man. Ambition makes cowards of some men. An hovest man has nothing to fear. The Pmor man always boasted of having the faculty of knocking out the best. The man that can knock out Sprague will be given a gold med- al. Sprague is a good fellow and will treat you right. He will conduct a decent paper, notwithstanding the price to which the paper bas been reduced. Mahone and Langston have join- ed bands. Put money in thy purse, said the ancient, put money in thy purse. Never talk unless you know what you are talking about. It never rains unless it pours. That are sometimes exceptions to all rules. Did you hear the news? Langstoa is no man’s fool. A colored man wiil be District Commissioner some day. J. T. Settle of Mississippi is learn- ed in law. He should be appointed one of the judges.
