1H& WASHINGTON BEE., — MRS. FLORA BATSON BERGEN. The Batson Concert at the Met- ropoliton Chnreh on last Thursday evening did not fall short of the People’s expectation. The great central figure was Mrs. Flora Bat- son, who appeared in an imported dress of Nile Green silk with a handsome embr idered front of pink roses and green leaves. The sleeves were puffs of silk relieved by velvet of a darker hue. The dia- mond ne ted a sensation, and on her fing milar glittering stones could seen. She was called to the front six times, which was an evidence of her fine singing and pepularity among the people of this city and country. Miss Sarah Saunders the Queen of Elocution was in he best. Her rendition of Winning Cup’s Race was excellent, The Howard University Mando- lin Club was an attractive feature. Mr. Edward T, Harris, Prof. Lay- ten’s pupil acquitt:d himself well. It was a fine program and Mr. J. W. Cromwell deserves great cred t for giving the people of this city such a fine treat. The National Steamboat Company are making extensive repairs on their steamer, George Leary, and have opened their books for charter. They willrun to Glymont, Rock Point and Norfolk. Charters are being made very rapidly. Their first trips will be made on Sunday, May 3, to Glymont, boat leave at 10a. m. and2.30p.m. ~ The Amphion Glee Clnb was tend- ered a testimonial at the Hamilton House on Wednesday evening April 22nd, and the guests turned out in such numbers as to fill the large dining- reem of that house. Through the energy of Mr. Jacob B. Walker, who is the head-waiter at the above named house, the Amphions have appeared there once before. Every man sang in good voice and each number received an encore, and was happily responded to, as were also several requests that were fur- nished by the regular program. At the conclusion of the entertain- ment Mr. J. Henry Lewis made a very happy and felecitous speech which evoked much merriment and applause as well as a very substantial donation and the club bade their friends ‘‘adieu”” feeling very high in spirits. The program was very appropiate Messrs. P. H. White and Charles Cheshin who were accused and pub- lished with having been locked up in the guard-house of the Capitol for misrepresenting themselves to Demo- cratic and Republican Congressmen were in Virginia atthe time and had been here for several days. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put toget and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable For a great many years doctors pro nounced it a local disease, and pre- scribed local remedies, and by con- stantly failing to cure with local treat- ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci- ence has proven catarrh to be a consti- tutional disease, and, therefore, re- quires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the orly constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to ateaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address, F. J.

It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard, that went down to the skirts ofhis garments. As the dew of Herman, and as the dew that de- scended upon the mountains of Zion, for the Lord commanded the blessing, even life evermore. It would be wise sometimes if some of us would read this section of the Bible about three times a week then examine ourselves and see if it is not right. When mem-| bers of Orders can dwell together as a unit, it is grand, but when discord gets in itis bad. Thereisanoldadage| which is true, “A house divided| against itself is bound to fall.”” Now when we come to look over matters | appertaining to discords and strifes, in Orders there is always some power- ful motive behind, in many cases user- pation of power. I by the High Power, &c., in me do hereby suspend you. I Iam there, and because I don’t like you, you shant play in my back-yard; | then again I don’t like you because you know too much. In the near future I propose to illus- trate by practical illustration—the moral of this synopsis—but thank Goodness this is a free country and} where one door is closed there is} another wide open. As1 said before} I detest seeing people talk through their hats. It looks bad. A.

Fifteen novices walked the sands at the_semi- annual iniation of candidates. Fifteen of the boys were thrown over the Moon and landed on the sands, which were very warm (as the hot wave has struck us even the sands felt the change.) After the routine, &c., an banquet such as the boys out West know how to prepare wasserved. The Novices drawned their past sorrows in copious draught of camels milk drawn from the Zim-Zim Well, and they ate the honey from the black-stone, (not the Sacred one.)

His idea of fitness and competency has enabled him to secure for the schools a corps of able, worthy and active teachers. Frequent meetings of the teachers are called by him for the purpose of giving them instructions and sugyes- tions in their work. These meetings are very helpful since Superintendent Stevens permits and invites discussions on metho¢s of teaching various subjects and on any question, relating to the science of education. At one of the recent meetings Miss Bessie L. Fletcher, a Normal Graduate, daughter of L G. Fletcher, sr., carried off the laurels by an able production, entitled ‘Possibilities of the Negro Teacher” which elicited much praise for the writer and much discussion, in which among others, Miss Lear and Messrs. Butler and Fen- derson, all of whom are teachers of note and able debaters participated. In his talk on phonics, Superinten- dent Stevens made special mention of Miss Fletcher’s school as being the| best trained in phonics of all the col-| ored schools.
