Bruceis making streneous efforts to establish, in the Black Belt of Mississippi aud Art » an In- dustrial school, somewbat after the plan of the ove at Tuskeege, Ala- bama, over which Mr. Booker T. Washington presides. Mr. Brave says, “Ll borrowed the idea from Mr. Weshingtos wheu three years ago I accepted an invitation to visit his Institution and deliver the Commencemeut addreis, I was surprised and gratitied beyoud measure to ficd that this modest young man had accomplished great results in adoz2n years and that too, under grave Cifficulties thao most men could bave, under favor- able conditions, in a life time. It is impossib’e even to estimate the good this man has done and will do in the future, Under the inspiration of his greaiwork, the thought struck me that, with proper cfforts a similar Institution might be establisheé in other portions of the South that woul afford the colored youth what is now denied them everywhere ; the opportunity of learning trades thus enabling them !o enter the race fairly equipped.” Have you decided the exact point at which you pio, ose to establish the school? . “Icav not say, that we have” replied the Senator. ‘One or two poiats are under consideration but noue bas yet been detinately settled npon, as an individual 1 am willing to contribute lands and a fair size building in which to begin the work, others, I am assured, will do equally as much. Te real point is to get started but this we can not do ‘til we find a suitable man to take charge of the work. We don’t expect to find anotuer Booker T. Washington—such men are very rare; but we hope to get one im bued with the trues missionary spirit; one who is willing to make temporary sacrifice of personal comforts in order to build up an Iustitution that will prove of ines timable benefit to the masses.” TO RESIGN. ASKED Mr. Kobert IJ. Terreil chief of the Navy division 10 the fourth auditors office has been requested to resign. Who will succeed Mr. Terrell is not known at this time. It is rumored that some prominent colored Cemocrats is a caudidate for the place. This 1s one of Mr. Lynch’s appointments. MATHEWS OF ALBANY Ifa colored man does not succeed Iion. Jobn KR.

Friday evening wes pleasantly spent at the High School by the pupi's of the Slater “School of which Miss E. A. Chase is prin cipal. The occasion was a floral fete for the benefit of the piano. The pupils showed thorough train~ ing in all their exercises, which consisted of well arranged tableaux by Miss Imozene Wormley, vacal avd instrumental music under tie training of Misses Marie James and Mary Pollen, a class in phy- sica! culture, a wand drill, and an indian drill composed and trained by Miss Eva, A, Chase.

It is not the object of the journey to make time, but to show the comfort, convenience and safety of travelers on American railways. 8 > L A Southern Girl’s Views. Imitating a strange English custom, it is not “good form” in New York select circles to introduce people at social gath- erings. A young girl from New Orleans, who has been spending the winter here, r} complains of this idea, contrasting it very unfavorably with the good, old fash- ioned, hospitable way of the south, that | brings guests together te know each oth- er and enjoy each other’s social and per- sonal attractions. The fair Louisianian declares that if the southern way is old fashioned it isa great deal better than the New York custom, and that a strange girl coming to N Orleans has a far better time than a young woman ina similar position here. This young lady, who considers a party at home stupid where she has not half a dozen men to talk to at once, went to a 1} musicale recently, where the sole per- > I thought the Duke bad sons with whom she exchanged a word were her hostess and her chaperon, ‘‘al- though,” she said, “men were standing along the walls three deep, looking as though they were having a most doleful tim At a dinner party, she said, her hostess deprecated the necessity which would not permit of her introducing her guest to any one but the man who was to take her out todinner. “I am sorry, but I cannot help it, my dear,” said the lady. “It isn’t done here, you know.” The re- sult was another stupid time for the southern girl.—New York Cor. Balti- more American. i More Threatening Than Crinoline. The disposition to alter the shoulder . | line of low dresses is more threatening than crinoline. English women have always had reason to be proud of their finely molded shoulders. In consequence the low dress of 1830, seen in old fash- ioned portraits of the young Queen Vic- toria and the portraits of Jenny Lind, which once were so familiar to this coun- try, always had greater vogue in Eng- land than elsewhere. Frenchwomen have always uncovered their shoulders spar- ingly. This was partly through that artistic instinct in dress which the French possess above other nations, and which warns them that the hard line carried arov | the shoulder and seemingly to ampuiate the neck and head is trying and inartistic. The exception was the Empress Eu- genie, whose sloping shoulders were re- markable among women, and who dis- played them lavishly. Otherwise the V- shaped corsage has always had greater vogue in France. American women have no standing rule in the matter. They have followed in this matter the fashions of France rather than those of England. The proposition now to dis- miss the shoulder strap and expose the shoulders is before them and is much more imminent than crinoline. The spectacle of a scraggy neck rising out of amass of chiffon and lace is one before which we may well pause.—San Fran- cisco Argonaut. Feminine Votes Elect a Handsome Man. ‘he women of Rio Grande taught their husbands, brothers and sweethearts a political trick or two in the election of a school trustee on Tuesday night. They claimed that their rights were being trampled in the sand by their lords and masters, and boldly announced that they intended to rectify the wrong by electing aschool trustee pledged to their interests. fs They put forward as their champion Charles W. Saul, the handsome station agent of the West Jersey railroad, who has endeared himself to y female heart in the place by his obliging manners as well as his good looks. Saul willingly accepted the honor, and the women start- edin to win. They canvassed the entire distri As a consequence the women were at the polls in force. The main portion of the community were jealous of Saul and picked out their best man, in the person of Squire F. N. Harris, to run againsthim. Al though the men hustled for votes, they could not match the winning ways of the women, and several masculine back numbers refused to vote at all if the women did. When the ballots were counted, Saul was found to have been Cor. Philadelphia Record. Her Summer Work. ifrs. J.
