Che ashngton Be —”- VOL. Ix BENJAMIN W. ARNETT, D. D. Is, as bas been said, “a bundle of energy propelled by brains.” He was born at Brownville, f rte ity, Pa., March 6, 1833. In 1e entered the miuistry of tae . E. Charch, and has been identified, ever since, with that eburcch. However Bishop Arnett is a man of no narrow views, but broad and liberal, and allows no creed or sect to come between him aud his ra interest. He has ev- er taken a prominent and active in terest in education and polities, and is as well known, if vot better, in the field of polities as in religious circles. La 1886 he was el -cted Gen- 1 Seeretary of the A. M.

A becoming touch can be add- ed by ribbons or flowers. A velvet cloth is a beautifal new material for Spring wraps, but the wearer must beware of May show- t the least drop of water mars its beauty. More serviceable and quite as stylish will be the jackets of blue broad cloth with gilt buttons, these military-looking little affairs can be worn with any and every cos- tume. ee eee THEY SAY : Johnson of the Appeal is weiged in the balance and found wanting. In Washington society he 1s a back number. His introduction of the editor of the Bez to the St. Paul people will be a happy bit. Men who make introduotions should make them right.

The bill was passed, and to-day there is not a law on the statues of the State of Ohio that provides or sanctions the discrimi- nation on account of color, This bill made the name of Arnett a household treasure in every Afro- American family in Obio, and secur- d for bim the well earned plaudits t every true friend of the race, all -er the country. He was elected member of the Ohio Legislature m Green county, he at that time ig a resident of Wilberforce, xn county, Ohio. Ia personal arance, Bishop Arnett is a robust, well developed mau king and commanding pres- ence. AS an orator, he is unexcell ed by white or black, and has been called ‘The Black Demosthenese. No truer man to bis race was ever boru thau Bishop B. W. Arnett. Carolin honor — FASHION NOTES. os Walking suits that will do service throughout the Spring are conspic- uous for their plainness and absence of ornanentations, depending for style on the perf fit of the bodice and the hang of the skirt. Ch tweeds and rough sur~ 1 etty” Scotch suiting » fabrics most used for street are | costuu ing once mi for fastening are become re into vogue. Frogs au yps are also used for closing diagonal basqnes aud over- sk rts, as well as for ornamenting coat tails, In light weight goods which will be the height of fashion all summer, a crinkled wool crape, kuown as erepon, promises to take the lead. Buntings have been revived once more, their novelty consisting 10 being shaded, or else having a bor dering of Tom Thamb fringe to be utilized as trimming. Changeable brilliantines or mo- hairs are newer thau the plain oues, and will be still worn for travellog avd shopping costumes. The French wool challies are prettier than ever, with black or white grounds, strewn with gay lit tle posies, such as rosebuds, violets, primroses or carnations. A new cotton fabric of which more will probably, be heard later on, is called Korah Moire as it has cient, Western boms will be taught a lesson if they stay in Washington. Men who like cheap notoriety can get it occasionally. If he bad any sense he would not tolerate the BEE’s stings. He belongs tg the chicken tribe. Take this week and get the doc- uments. Before he is through with it he will write some more letters of apol ogy. The Bre generally makes it ene- mies crawl and gnaw the earth, Why not the bluster of the Ap- peal? Men who make attacks must stand to them. No apology in this case will be accepted. Does the correspondent of the Press Association know that he apologized to a certain man in this town? Waich him squeel in a few days. Black and white never he. Some men can give advice, that they never follow themselves. Every man knows how to runa newspaper. When they begin it is not a3 easy as they thought. A brave soldier never backs down Some newspaper men like corres- pundents to papers edited by ne- groes can be found among cowards. There 1s trouble in Shilob. Honest men are not cowards. They have nothing to fear. It is the sneak and libertine that always fear each bush of an officer. The Educational and Relief Asso- ciation is a thing of the past. The people in the East have @ tale to tell. The Home for friendless girls will have the emancipators prose- cated. Funds collected for an institution must be tarned ever to that insti- tution. The Bex is the people’s pilot. Don’t get uneasy about the next eouvention. Honest men will be elected and don’t you forget it. Miss Batson is becoming unpop- ular in this city. Pais is a cosmopolitan city. The people are peculiar.

Never shoot in fan, it is more dangerous than when you are in earnest. Keep a friend if he is honest. Every friend is not honest. He is a good friend when he helps you in distress. Seek good company always. Thieves can befound among sup- posed honest people. _It is not the man with a ministe- rial air that is always honest. Watch yourself and then you will be happy. ——_— A FLW USEFUL HINTs. When a tea-kettle has been burn- ed, or the tea pot gota bad taste, | as sometimes is the case, when it has not been used sometime, or sometime from long use, they can | be aweeteved in afew minutes. by putting cold water in them, and put on the stove to heat, when boiling hot, drop one or two red hot coals into the tea kettle or teapot as the case may be, if one trial does not sweeten them, repeat the operation once or twice, I have never known this to fail. If at any time you get ink on the table cloth or carpet rab plenty of salt, do not pat water on as it has a tendency to set the stain. Salts of lemon will take ink or other stains out of silk or satins which are too delicate to be rubbed with salt. Cloth that bas been marked with printers ink, or tar can be easily cleaned by rubbing coal oil on the spots, then hang the garment out in the air and the coal oil will evap- orate, [have never known this tofail. Flouse plants that get “tice on | them, can be easily cleaned and cured, by watering them twice a week with black tea, the plants are sickly when lice come on them, the tea acts as a tonic. Where a bare table is used for luncheon or supper, folded dinner napkins may take the place of plate doylies, in the absence of the latter. The napkins should be folded in a small square, just large enough for the plate to rest upon, and they have the advantage of being thick enough to protect the table from the heat which the doyly does not do. Paper of proper thickness is ren- dered transparent by soaking in copal varnish. When dry, it is pol ished, rubbed with pumice stone, and a layer of soluble glassis appli- ed and rubbed with salt.

WHAT TO TEACH GIRLS. Give your girls a thorough education. Teach them to cook aud prepare the food of the house- holt. Teach them to wash, to iron, to darn stockings, to sew ou buttons, and to make their own dresses. _ Teach them to spend within their income. _ Teach them to wear a calico that is paid for with more comfort than a silk one which is still owing. Teach them bow to purchase aud see that the accouat tally with the | purebase. | Teach them that good health and a bright face is better than any cos- metic.
