Bishop Turner’s vest is apt to

Mrs. James Brown Potter, one
of the New York bon ton society
ladies, who created such great ex
citement by reciting the poem
“Ostler Joe” at a reception given
by Mrs. Secretary Whitney in
Washington, has decided to go on
the stage* Her managers speak of
her abilities very highly. She will
be the rage next season. She is
already rich but loves notoriety as
well as money.
There can be no greater mistake
made by the colored race, than to
permit any motive except one
involving principle purely to lead
them to oppose the advancement of
a fellow member of their race
where an opportunity is offered
him, An honest competent, colored
man should receive the aid and en
courageinent of his united race in
every opportunity in life and when
ever the colored people cease to
cooperate in all worthy and proper
methods for their individual as well
as the general advancement of their
race they begin the downward path
to popular weakness and decay.—
From Normal Index.
IS IT TRUE?
It is said that the rules of the
Evening Call’s office is such that
colored printers are not allowed to
work there, though they be Knights
of Labor. Is this true? If so, how
can they be coiisistaut in their pro
fession of love for “Fair play and
equal chance in the race of life” for
the laborer. This is an important
question for not a few colored men
of this city to ponder over and
reflect when they continue to fur
nish aid and support to a cause that
recoils and strikes them down.
JOHN BROWN'S MONUMENT.
About fifty delegates of colored
men assembled at Columbus, 0..
January 28th to devise means for
erecting a monument to the memo

That the people ot the United
States erect a Temple of Freedom
to the memory ol John Brown, and
in that Temple dedicate memorial
windows to Wendell Phillips, Nat
Turner, Owen Lovejoy, Behj. Lun
dy, Charles Sumner and all other
leaders that agitated the freedom
of America’s slave, that culminated
in the Proclamation of Abraham
Lincoln.
A national convention will prob
ably be called in the near future—

NEGRO BALLS IN BARIS.
This month a reigning social sen
SHtion is a series of Negro balls.
They are under the patronage of
several ladies of noble blood from
Zanzibar and Ethiopia. The dark
hued contingent, of Parisian society
is a numerous one, and contains
many families of rank and wealth.
So you must believe that these
balls are truly aristocratic gather
ings. The supposition is that only
persons of negro blood are invited.
Asa matter of fact, however, near
ly half of these are white. But all
such have to stain their laces black
for the time being. These disguised
revelers are persons of the best
standing m French society. I deed
no less personages than Prince
Waldemar and his bride, Amelia
d’Orleans, attended the first of the
series. Their saves were stained a
rich brown, so that they looked like
rather dark quadroons. Several
cavaliers of the Due de Morney’s set
attend all these gatherings with
their hands and faces dyed, and
with wool wigs over tbeir natural
hair. —Ex.
MA TTIIE WS‘ REJECTION.
Senator Ingalls • * ♦ shows
his utter incomprehensibility of
the colored people of this country,
and the history of the race both in
this and other lands. Colored men
perfectly understand that Mattuews
! was not rejected by the Senate on
account ot bis color, and it is only
on the ground of the denial of
political liberty by a majoritv of a
I Republican Senate to colored men
that they firmly protest against its
recent action.—-Little Rock Sun.
If anything can ever have a ten
dency io convert Negroes into
democrats, such actions as the re
jection of Matthews will fill this
country north to south, from east
to west with Negro-democrats. The
Negro will no longer vote for tbe (
party but for the MAN. —Atlanta'
Weekly News.
Wo should not, however, permit
the Democrats to hoodwink us with
this Matthews matter. This simple ’
replacement of a Frederick Dong- j
lass by one obscure ward politician
is not enough to hurry us into re
volt against a party which has
fought our every battle and given
us every right which we now enjoy.
The Democrat party, were it ever
so well disposed, could hardly do i
for us in two years what the truly
Grand Old Party has done in thirty
years. Democratic charity will have
to begin at home. Here they will
have ample room to show even a
generous spirit or fair dealing. In
the local governments neither at
tbe North or at the South has the
coloredman been given a fair show
ing. Here is an arena for reputa
tion. In National politics the Dem
ocratic party will never do as much
for the colored man as the Republi
can party has done. Pardon ns,
but the colored man that expects it
within the next generation is a
non compos mentis. Augusta Sen
tinel.
THE PROSPECT OF WAR.
Although the German people do
not wish to do any more fighting,
Bismark and Von Moltke have been
trying to induce the Reichstag to
increase the army by some 50,000
then, and lengthen the term of ser
vice from three to seven years. But
the German parliament refuses to
consider the subject. This led to
its dissolution and a call for a new
election. Yet War in the near fu
ture is regarded as inevitable. Bit
marck professes io feel kindly
towards Russia, and declares that
it is Fiance which is waiting for
tbe chance to attack tbe Father
land. It is very certain that the
French army is an enormous one,
tuat it has been strengthened with
the view of having another Wrestle
with Germany, and that the fore
most French inventors have been a
work forging new destructive weap
ons, which are calculated to give
the Gallic armies an advantage
over the Teutons. To help its
armies, the French have almost i-uc
ceeded in navigating the air. In
deed, in calm weather, they have
found out how to propel an aerial
vessel to and from certain points,
though as yet they have not been
able to overcome strong wind*.
The next war in Europe will be a
terrible one. It will involve all the
nations, and some 4,000,000 eff-ct
ive men will oppose each other in
deadly array. It is positively dis
heartening to think of the mights
efforts that are now being put forth
to kill human beings when the next
conflict takes place. Science and
art have been enrolled in the set
vice of slaughter. Let us at least
hope I hat our country will keep
clear of all foreign entanglements,
and that We will not suffer from the
operations of the armies that will
be called into existence to settle the
burning Eastern question.— From
Demorest’s Monthly for March.
