m uwu nmn SATURDAY JUNE 16, ib&a Co). John H, Deveaux, Business J/anasrer of the Tribune left for Chi cago last evening. A fourteen pound boy was the new arrival at Mr. A. E. Robinson's resi d nee on Tuesday night last. There is a coloied cook in this State who receives SISOO a year, and is allow ed SI.OOO for an assistant. It is amusing to stand by and see With what alacrity a dude can place awav a dish of soup at a free lunch counter. Henry Williams, an aged colored man, dropped dead while working on his little farm in East Savannah on Tuesday last. The cause of his sudden death was evidently from heart disease. It is "aid that a certain school teach er offered a prize to the scholar who would come to school the next day with the cleanest face, The result was that he was unable to recognize some of them next day. The many friends of Col. Nat D. Sneed will be pleased to learn that he hn« entered the ministry, and has ac cepted a call at Hazlehurst, Miss. Those who have heard ‘Nat” say “that he is an eloquent and earnest exhorter.” Rev. J. H. L. Cooper, of the M. E church will open a school on July Ist for the education of young colored men. The Reverend has leased a suitable building for that purpose on Gwinnett St-, near Asbury church. L. B. Toomer Esq., will deliver a Ma sonic Address on Saturday next before Mt. Tabor Lodge, Valdosta. The event being the celebration of St. John’s day, from one of the hand bills before us, it appears that great preparations are be ing made for the occasion. ST BENEDICT’S CONCERT. The concert at the Ford’s Opera House, on Tuesday evening last for the benefit of the St. Benedict’s Church and Orphanage was a most gratifying success to its promoters. program as published in our last issue was gone through with in a most creditable man ner as testified to by the manifestation of appreciation shown by the fine audi ence present. The pieces were all so finely rendered as to make it im possible to point out the most excellent. After the concert, refresh ments were served, and a very neat sum realized. The good people of Savannah never fail to respond to a*y well deserv ed charity Shot Down- James Brown (colored) was shot and in stantly killed on Monday night iast, near the corner of Sims and Lumber Sts., by po liceman Cronin. It seems that the officer attempted to arrest Brown, when a 8< tiffie ensued between the prisoner and the officer. Brown succeeded in getting away, and was running from the officer when the fatal shot was fired that caused his death. The locali ty is said to be a noisy one, and the officers of the law have a hard time to preserve quietness, It is certainly a horrible thing to contemplate that a policeman would delibe rately shoot down a man who was trying to escape arrest, and especially so when his own life was In no danger. An officer of the law is in no case justified in shooting a naan except to save his own life, and possi bly to prevent the ercape of a person guilty of a fel nv. The idea of ar officer killing a man who was trying to escape arrest, even if he had been assaulted, is according to the understanding of the law, murder. Will our fearless solicitor-general have the matter in vestigated ? He has the courage, if he h a the inclination to do so. Red Tape With a Vengeance. One poor soul has probably been sent to his grave because of official red tape. On Friday of last woek, T. T. Senders, Esq., discovered a colored man lying on Waters Road in an unconscious condi tion. He, in company with Prof. S. B. Morse who has a farm in that locality, had the man placed iu a wagon, the professor giving the wagoner a note to present at the Georgia Infirmary, The unfortunate sufferer was refused admis sion, and the wagoner was told to go to Dr. Myers, as the man could not be ad mitted without a permit, and he was consequently driven in the hot sun back into the city in search of the doctor After considerable delay, the papers were obtained, and the sick man taken back to the Infirmary, but to die in a very short time after being admitted. If the man could have received proper attention when first taken to the Infir mary, it is not improbable that he would have been alive to-day. The name of the victim of this cruel red tape requirement is unknown. V hose duty is it to inquire into this matter ? Let it be investigated. ir"r.r.s7’. The colored people have found a true history of themselves. It is written by W. T. Alexander, of Philadelphia, and gives their history in this country as well as their ancient ani modern life in Africa. Don’t fail to look at the book when the agent comes around, an J give Luu your order,. FCI’KD IN A VAULT, SUPPOSED SUICIDE. Thomas White, colored, from Chari*s 1 ton, 8.C., was found in a sink at 99j Montgomery St., on Thursday morning with several gashes about his body, and when rescued from his unenviable posi tion, lived but an hour. It seems that White came to the city about a month ago in search of work —being a tinner by trade—and secured board with Mr. Albert Wylly, one of our most respecta ble citizens- In the meantime, White took sick, Dr. Weichselbaum was call ed in, and he prescribed for him, Mr. Wylly, on account of the poverty of the patient, paying for the medicine. On Wednesday night. White became worse, and at times delirious, requiring two or more of his friends to hold him down. He finally fell asleep, and the occupants of the house all retired. Early Thurs day morning, he was missed from his room, and on search being made, was found in a nuda condition as above sta ted. The opinion of the coroner and the attending physician is, that it is the act of a suicide caused when in a deliri ous state His remains were properly taken care of, and shipped to his home in Charleston, S. C; Military ""celebration. Monday was a great day among the colored soldiers of this citv, the event being the celebration of the pa.-sage o r the 15th Amendment which shouid have taken place on the 19th of May, but on account of the Baptist Centen nial—by request —took place Monday, Col.

Headed by the Union Cornet Band, they marched through the principal streets of the city to the Park Exten sion where a Dress Parade and Review took place. The streets were lined with thousands of admirers of our ex cellent military, which is said to be the equal in drill and appearance of any in the country. Our model artillery and cavalry companies paraded with full ranks, and were applauded by their re spective friends The exercises closed late in the afternoon with nothing to mar the order of the day. At night, Festivals were given at the various halls by the several companies for their visiting friends, and all seemed pleased with the successful celebration of the day. w » Our watch maker and jeweler, E, J.

Alma Matfs Cott,rar, “Mothe: s unv-.-ring with the Dead.” Dear mother y u bade me years ago not to leave thy tender bosom while hi earth thou lived but dear mother can I confess to a heap of dust that I did the wrong—l brought thee to thy grave with a broken heart tbinkiig of me when I was rejoicing and living with a heart at esse—thou was in the valley heartbroken. Mother I can never con. fess my wrongs to thee—human tongue can never confess our wrongs to the living or dead. I dreamt of thee last night mother but thou art dead and gone. Mother, mother whirl the news back to me from the lofty sky to thy son of that shining shore of time. I have wronged thee dear mother from my heart, but hush be silent methink I hear her lovely voice crying to me now —too late, too late thou lament when the grass is growing over my grave. Oh could I but see mother once again and grasp her tender hand once more; how my heart would rejoice; how lonely how sad, how drearful is my ]ot. Dear mother is dead and srone cross Jordan’s cold and stormy road to the other land of bliss. Oh what an hour of medita tion, an hour of prayer, a sad hour of loneliness, a time of dispair. Dark and gloomy seems the way thus to the grave sleep there dear mother and take your rest for I hope to meet you by and by.— AI?V, NOTICE.
