Brace, of this city, and nephew of Hon. Blanche K. Bruce, ex-Senator and present Recorder of Deeds for the District of Colambia, is avother example of what application, per severe sce, well directed efforts and a laudable ambition may accom plish for a young man even under adverse circumstances. Young Bruce was raised in this commanti- ty, where he had the ordinary eda cational advantages. His intelli gence and stu-ijousness enabled him to soon exhaust those facilities and be then became « student at the Lincolo Institute, where he re- mained for four years. Afterwards he took a course of six years 10 the Kansas State University, gradaat- with the highest hovors. For 1) the past five years be has been Privcipal of the Leaveaworth, , ~~ STECK HALL, 11 E. 14th STREET, NEW YORK. Kan , colored school. Recently, at ameeting of the State Buard of isdacation of Kinsas, he was grant ed a S:ate dip'oma to teach in that State for life, being the first and only colored person who bas re- ceived such an hovor in that State. He has always taken an active pait in politics, and has done much good service for the repablican party in the town and State of bis adoption. Lately be has developed political aspirations on bis own ac- count, and is au avewed and zeal- ous candidate for Seeretary of State, subject to the action of the next Republican State Convention of Kansas. He basa good follow- ing and excelleat prospects of ob- taining the nomivation. Regard- ing bis candidacy, the Lawrence Record says: “Heisa clean man, honest aud capable. His nowina- tion and elec:ion would be to re- ward a large element who bave been voting with the republican party foryears.”- -B:auswick News. “FROM, MYT! MYTH,” Cou. INGeRsOLL Gives His VER- SION OF THE OriGIn OF RELIGION. THE GREAT ORATOR ADDRESSES A LARGE AUDIENCE AT THE Broap- TBE BASE OF ALL BELIEFs. Colonel Ingersoll .made an andi- ence in the Broadway theatre laugh itself into tears last evening in ex- plaining to them how, io his opin ‘on, they bad been fooled with common myths and also with miracles. Every seat was occupied, and many had to stand. The audience was fully one third women, a number of the fair sex being ov the platform as well. The great orator put the audience in a pleas- ant mood at opening by stating that su far as be was himself vou cerned be wanted ali the happiness he could get in this world, aud if there was any in the next be would like to share it there, too. “Tuere are two classes in this world,” he went on, “worldly and spiritual people. Oxe insists that the time to be happy is now, and the place to be bappy 1s where you happen to be; the others say that tbe bappiness is all to come here- after. The spiritual bave always pretended to be beiter than the worldly. But, as a rule, the spirit ual bave lived on the labor of the worldly. “They have stood by the high- way of life, held out the beggat’s palm and asked that the industri- our, who really love this life, should give something in consideration. So far as Iam concerned I do not propose to make myself miserable about something of which nobods kuows apjthing. The spiritual people of this world bave been of uo value whatever, except to live taken a rest. The Bex will run in the even tenor of its way. Why bas a thief more cheek than anyone else? He has lost all pride, hence he has nothing to lose. Why should the colored people squander their movey by having Street parades? There is a home on Meridian hill, set apart for destitute colored wo- men and children. Why not seud your money there? The colored people are dependent apon the white people because they refase to support their own iustitu- tions. You should atteud the entertaio- ment to be given at tle Metropoli tan church by the Young Meu’s Christian Association. Cheatham should be reterned to Congress. He has made a good representa- tive. When you geta good man he sbould be supported. Brace never loses a battle. The people are opposed to street parades. They are expensive aud unneces- sary. It is the unanimous op nioa of the people that street parades are expensive aud lujurious to the peo- ple. ©.

WORLD’S FAIR NOTES. | An Ohio World’s Fair commis- sioner has estimated that the ex- hibitors from his state will spend upwards of $5.000,000 in the pre- paration of their exhibits for the | Exposition. The California building at the Fair will be an imposing strnetare |of the “old mission” type, 110 by 500 feet. with a dome, and costing about $75,000. It will be surround jed by a hedge of Monterey cypress. Denmark will spend about $5 500 in sbowing, as a leading feature of its World’s Fair exh bit, a Danish dairy, complete and in operation. Vermont will bave a building at the Exposition without drawing on the State appropriation for the cost of its erection. The governments of Norway and Sweden have, respectively, asked for World’s Fair appropriations of $61,288 and $53.600. Baron de Berlepsch, German minister of commerce, has written to the chamber of co: merce of Crefeld, the principal place in Prussia for the manufacture of silk goods, that the Emperor ardently desires that there should be as fine a display as possible of German silks and velvets at the Chicago World’s Bair.

One of the latest fashions, is making tea in a little silver ball. It is said by tea connoisseurs to be very healry. You get the pure tea with as little tannic acid as possi-~ ble. It is proposed in England that invitations to wineless dinners shall be accompanied by a small bow of blue ribbon tied securely to the card. The object of this probably is to make the preparation of such dinners involve a discouraging amount of extra work. Thi horseshoe table is new. The middle is arranged with two horse-shoes, the frames leaning one against the other; these are filled with roses and violets or any other small flower that contrasts prettily with roses. A similar decoration adorn either end and some hostess- es have tiny horse-shoes filled with small flowers placed before each guest. ik fi Ga naan Opera 9 tivougl hout Germany.

An infant with a transparent brain-pan born in the Italian quarter of Philadel- phia, caused much interest among physi- cians and scientific men. The upper por- tion of the boy’s skull was missing, and the brain clearly visible, being covered only by a fine, transparent membrane. The brain was apparently perfect and in its proper position. The child had no forehead, the bone covering being cut off lil e the top of an egg, in a line around the upper parts of the ears totheeyebrows. As faras acur- sory examination could determine, all the veins and tissues under and about the brain were normal. The topof the head, covered with its transparent filament, rose to about one inch anda half above the level of the eyebrows. Theaction of the brain was quite visible, as also the membrane separating the lobes. In other respects the child was well formed, ex- cept for a curious cavity in its back.
