To the Editor of the BEE: Two notably bistorical events occur with the annual return of the vernal epui- nox, viz.: “Saint Patrick’s Day?’ and “Emancipation Day.” The similarity of motive which in- pires the celebr tion of these days by two di-tinet races of people is peculiarly sig- nificant—the one being in honor of the. patron saint whose edict banished the saakes and toads from Auil Lreland, and the other in remembrance of the patriotic murtyr President, whose procl»matiou abolished human slavery in the District of Columbi Emblematic of the one race is the Shamrock aud Hope of Erin; | very idea is too redieulous and ab of the other, the American flug and por- trait of Lincoln, What we have to deal with in this arti- cle particularly is the emanc:pation day parade, ot last Monday week, and we fi mly believe that if the great auihor of the emancipation proclamation could have been present 1 person and witness- ed that demonstration in his honor, he would have been tempted to recall that proclamation and allow things to remain as th were. Ee in the forenoon of Monday, wild looking colored men with bright yellow sashes bound arsund them, and paper ro- s ttes adorning the lappels of their coats, could be seen dashing madiy up and down the avenue, on horseback, as if the enemy were about to cross the long bridge. The sidewalks were lined with a conglomerate’ mass of hum y in which the dusky hue larg-ly predomin ed, and which, in a me:sure, accounted for the mad, rushing gallopade of the decorated equestriaus, Ata given sigual the advance guard sallied out from the place of general ren- dezvous, and the column moyed. The first objective point was the White House, to be reviewed by President Cleveland. About this time large, black and ivky looking clouds began to bunk up in the vicinity of G-rozetown, which gave a somewhat threatening aspect to the outlook. Undaunted, however, by the ominous appearance of the heavens, and witha firma belief in the theory, that Proyidence would temper the wind to the shorn Jamb—be that lamb black or white—the heroic band moved onward. When the President appeared on the noth portico of the White House, the troops were passing in front. A singular density of darkishness o’erspread the scene, together with the whites of any eyes coucentrated upon him xt once, The provession moved on apace, in striking conirast to previous demonstra- tiors of this character. Major Cox, arrayed in a gorgeous con- glomeration of war paiot, feathers, da delions, ripbons and tinsel. and ci in bis hand something that looked like a d:corated skyrocket or mivature barber pole, and string oa superanuated car horse, called ‘Dandy Jim,’’ led the van. An oid and very black individ ' arly adorned, witi one leg iuches shoit-r than the other, led the footsore contingent. A flashy coon, in aone horse buggy, pulling a Pattsburg stegy in the face of his Cleopatra who wore blue specs, was the next a'traction; following this was the fellow with the automatic foot-pedal earryall, conveying two dusky dani weighing two hundred and tifty px each; then some saucy looking coon: car horses aud sandwiched between t and the boys with red shirts and pants was a green one horse wagon, enalked on the side, ‘For high r.”’ In ths was packed like sardines a moiley pot-pie which would far ove rshadow the one containing four and twenty blick- birds that was set before the king. F ally the tailend was brought up by a wayon Wi buogry dog running under- neath it. wo night line hacks carried the oratorical ecombustibility which ap- peared pale andsick. Tue higher class colored elemant was conspicuous by its absence. Hence, the dismal and dilapidated character of the parade, A thunder storm about three p. m. scattered the coons like fog before the morning sun, but, subs. queatly it was learned that a sort of promiscuous gather- ing assembled at Lincoln Park, and held sort of an impromptu demonstration in which some inflated chaps were permitted to turn on the gas. Amos T. BIsSELL. a CLIPPINGS FROM OUR iEX- CHANGES. From the Petersburg Record. The question is often asked, what shall the negro do? The most no- ble thing he can do is to stand up for his race in every particular that tends to elevate. There is work for every one of us, and lots of it. From the Fort Worth Item. The negro race carries on too much pomp and imaginary great- ness to be a success in working out the problems that confront us. Let us get down toa solid foundation and build up therefrom, ard let the building go on uniformly, alike in all its parts. From the Central Baptist. There is a romantic idea in the minds of some of our young sisters that they can reform an attractve and dissipated -young man by mar- rying him. Cold facts reveal the fect that this experiment :s nearly always adismal failure.—She who marries @ man who drinks, even moderately, must make up her mind, sooner or later, to be a drunkard’s wife Frem the Sayanuae Tribune. The man who does the most talking can be put down as the least worker. This is ascertained fron expezience. From the Seattle Standard, If the negro would improve the opportunities he has in America, he would not have to think about Africa. It is the height of nonsen- sical folly for any one to think of or advocate the deporting or the immigrating of eight million people to Africa or any other place; the surd to jastity discussion. The ne gro is at home; it is his duty to make a good citizen of himself both financially and morally and the battle is won. From the Omaha Progress. Peter Jacsson is here this week, playing Uncle Tom, in a gigantic spectacular Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Jackson is a good actor, and that is saying a good deal for a prize- fighter. He not only differs from other pugilists in this respect, but aside from his prowess as a fighter, he is a gentleman in the full sense of the term. From the Religious News, Some of the things that keeps our people apart is for the want of confidence in each other We are too afraid of loosing something, or helping some one. If we have an enterprising man among us, we do uot encourage him the least by pat- ronizing him. Notice the Jews, they are all rich as a general thing. Why is that? lt is because they stand to each other, and help each other. Not so with the colored race, they stand apart, knowing that Jesus’ says, ‘united we stand, divided we fall, still we have more religion than any other race on earth. JAMES H. BLOUNT. JAMES H.BDOUNT.

There are quite a number of business women in this city who by industry and perseverance have aceumuiated property and made themselves ornaments to any society. Mrs. Charles F. Murray is a fashiona- bl bair dresser. She spends her summer at such places as Saratoga, attending to som: of the most distinguished people in the country. Misses Laura F. and Grace Dyson are two of the most enterprising women in the city. Mrs. Cooprr who has a stand in the Center Market is well known in this city as a woman of business qual ties. Mrs. Sis Mason who carries ona large dressmaking establishment has won for herself a yepu'ation of which she should feel proud.

Gold Payments to be Continued — Harmony in the Cabinet ~The Public Credit and the Parity Between Gold and Silver to be Maintained. President Cleveland on Monday gave to the press the following statement in regard to the financial policy of the Gov- ernment: : “The inclination on the part of the public to accept newspaper reports con- cerning the intentions of those charged with the management of our national finances seems to justify my emphatic contradiction of the statement that the redemption of any kind of Treasury notes except in gold has at any time been determined upon or contemplated by the Secretary of the Treasury or any other member of the present Administration. The President and his Cabinet are abso- lutely harmonious in the determination to exercise every power conferred upon them to maintain the public credit, to keep the public faith, and to preserve the parity between gold and silver, and be- tween all financial obligations of the Government. “While the law of 1890, forcing the purchase of a fixed amount of silver every month, provides that the Secre- tary of the Treasury in his discretion y redeem in either gold or silver the sury notes given in payment of silver purchases, yet the declaration of the policy of the Government to maintain the parity between the two metals seems so clearly to regulate this discretion as to dictate their redemption in goid. “Of course perplexities and difficulties have grown out of an unfortunate finan- cial policy which we found in vogue, and embarrassments have arisen from ill-advised financial legislation confront- ingusat every turn; but with cheerful confidence among the people and a patriotic disposition to co-operate, threat ened dangers will be averted pending a legislative return to a better and sounder financial plan. ‘The strong credit of the country still unimpaired and the good sense of our people which has never failed in time of need are at hand to save us from disaster.” CHICAGO WILL WELCOME. The Lake City Regdy for its Distinguished Fair Visitors. Arrangements are completed for the reception of distinguished visitors at the World’s Fair opening, The Presidential party, which, under the present pro- gramme, will be the first to arrive, will be met at the Illinois State line by Director General Davis, Governor Alt- geld and Mayor Harrison. Onar at Chicago they will be escorted by militia to the Hotel Lexington, when 2i guns will be fired from the Michigan, if she is in harbor, or from a battery on the Lake Front Park. The Ducal party will be met by offi of the Exposition and will have a similar escort to the Auditorium, asalute of 17 guns being fired in their honor. After the freedom of the city has been formally tendered both parties by the Mayor, the officers of the Fair will pay their re- spects, The button which President Cleveland will touch to start the Fair machinery will connect by wire with an electric valve that will fly open at the slightest touch, willlet the steam escape and the great Allis engine will begin to move, At the same time 100,000 incandescent lights will flash in the presence of prob ably 590,000 persons, College Girls as Hazers, The barbarous hazing of five juniors of Delaware College, Ohio, has uncovered ¢ lawless pranks by girls of the in Five girls belonging to the Ladies Seminary, recently formed a class fraternity called Iona Nu. Wed- nesday night while they were holding a secret meeting, 20 of their classmates broke in upon them. A reception was tobe held the following night. A solution of nitrate of silver had been obtained and with this powerful caustic pictures and letters were drawn upon the fair bosoms and naked arms of the bevy of damsels, Only by wearing high-necked dresses and long sleeves could the dis- figuring marks be concealed. The bar- barities perpetrated by both boys and girls resulted merely from class jealous- ies, The dispatches do not state what sort of government this college had. Bishop Brook's Successor. _ Dr, William Neilson McVickar, of Holy ‘Trinity Church, Philadelphia, was unanimously agreed upon by the Broad Church Conference of Episcopalians, in session at Boston, as their candidate for Bishop of Massachusetts, to succeed Philips Brooks. On being tendered the office, however, Dr. MceVickar declined, and thesuccessor to Philips Brooks is yet to be found, Dr. Talmage Alarmed. The Brooklyn Tabernacle is not yet out of danger. Dr. Talmage has again made a statement regarding the financial troubles with which the trustees are bat- tling, and says that he was worried by the fear that the edifice in which he preached would become a theater or a , concert hall. He says that $60,000 is ' necessary to free the church from debt. the ; and living at Monnet Hall, 1 A NOTABLE MARRIAGE. Miss Bradley-Martin Weds the Earl of Craven, in New York. Seldom, if ever, has New York’s 400 been called upon to add lustre to a more gorgeous affair than the marriage of Miss Cornelia Bradley-Martin, the 17-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bradley-Mar- tin, to William George Robert, Earl of Craven, aged about 25 years, which oc- | curred at Grace Church on the 18th inst. The Bradley-Martin’s are among the swellest of the New York noboer: ts, and have been conspicuous in the millionaire set of New York for the past dozen years or so, ever sincé Mrs. Martin’s father, Isaac Sherman, the Troy cooper, died and left her $10,000,000, derived from fortunate railroad investments. The bridegroom, beside his nobility, is the possessor of a fortune that brings him an annual income of $100,000, He is 23 years old, in appearance youthful, tall, and fair, The wedding was the great social event of the season and the preparations were lavish. ‘The floral decorations alone cost $10,000, Both the church and the house on Twentieth street resembled bowers of tropical luxury, The gowns were mag- nif t, the jewels unsurpassed, and hing was on a scale befitting the occasion. The most widespread interest tached to the wedding, owing to the social prominence of the bride and groom, and the extreme youthfulness of the bride, The scene at the church was unique. No sooner was the ceremony concluded than pandemonium reigned in the church. Women jostled each other in a struggle to reach the chancel and pluck the roses. The few attendants left in charge by the ushers could do little with the women. Those who reached the chancel had a hard time getting away with their prizes. Then scrambling over the pews became very popular, It looked like a gigantic hurdle race, where the jumpers wore skirts to impede and not to hide their legs. Visions of pink and blue and gray ankles were frequent as rays of sunlight in an April thunder storm. The crowd of women outside broke into the church and joined in the mad rush to see and to obtain souvenirs. It took the guests two hours to get out of the church, There was also a great crush at the reception. The wedding presents were numerous and costly, the jewels given by Mra. Martin, Mrs. Sherman and the Dowager Countess of Craven, the Earl's grand- mother, being magnificent. Mrs. Sher- man’s gift, a necklace of pearls, three strings, is said to have cost $60,000. Mrs. Martin’s gift, a tiara of diamonds, an exact copy of one worn by the Em- press Josephine, is composed of dia- monds of the purest water. Italy’s Royal Jubilee. King Humbert and Queen Margherita received, with magnificent state cere- monial, the congratulations of the various sovereigns through their Ambassadors, on the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage, at Rome, on the 22d inst. The envoys presented the congratuiations of the heads of their resp ve states, and United States Minister Potter presented an autograph letter from President Cleveland, conveying the expressions of the President’s pleasure over the happy Emperor of Germany was received at distinction at Rome, Gold for the Treasury. It is reported in N York among financiers that the reason President Cleveland issued his proclamation about the Government’s financial policy was to reassure the New York bankers, who had agreed to turn $30,000,000 in gold over to the Treasury Department. The nt in Washington re- ed enough offers of for all demands. Should the gold r ‘e be depleted it is ieved Mr. Cleveland will call an extra session of Congress. ported it had re: sold for the p Tennessee Starts State Bank Notes. A law has been passed by the Legisla- ture and approved by the Governor. authorizing State banks to issue notes secured by a deposit of United States, State or county bonds, currency to be issued not in excess of 9) per cent. of their market value. The State cur- rency is limited to $25,000,000, The Detroit is Queen, The new United States cruiser Detroit, in her trial trip on Long Island Sound, proved herself the fastest cruiser of her displacement in the world. Her average speed is estimated at 18} knots, but dur- ing a part of her four hours’ trial tripon the Sound she made over 20 knots, or upward of 23 miles per hour. The Russian Treaty. A cable message received at the State Depariment, Washington, says that the Emperor of Russia has signed the extra- dition treaty between the United States and- Russia, and that the ratifications have been exchanged by the United States Minister and the Russian Foreign Office. Money Conference to be Held. Secretary Gresham is authority for the statement that the International Mone- tary Conference will be held at Brusse May 30, the day fixed upon. The Presi- dent will probably announce the full per- sonnel of the Commission from the Uni- te d States this week,
