A Description ml Some cl the Mcst PrcmL
■•■t Calcrrtl Men nnd Their Flnnnclnl
Ml Social Mlanrilna.
There are 65,000 colored people in
Washington, says a newspaper letter
from that city. In no city in the United
States, not even New Orleans, is there a
larger colored population. The colored
people here enjoy all the social anil po
litical rights that law can give them,
without protest and without annoyance.
The public conveyances are open to
them, and the theatres, the jury box,
are theirs. Many of these men axe
wealthy, and the aggregate wealth of
the colored property owners in the
Distriot amounts to millions of dollars.
Hundreds own comfortable homes, and
some handsome residences; their
ohurches aro many, including three or
four buildings that aro ornaments.to the
oity. But the oolor line is rigidly drawn
In what is known as society. Wealth,
learning, official place, give no colored
family the right or privilege of entering
the best or the commonest white sooiety
on terms of equality or endurance. In
this respect the colored race lives as
separate and as exclusive a life as in the
days of slavery. There aro three recog
nized social classes among the colored
people. Neithor acknowledges the
others, and it. is the ambition of those in
the lower to be received in tho higher
cirolns, just as among tho whites.
The upper crust, so to speak, consists
of men of wealth, learning and high po
litical place. These people exchange
calls, with all the ceremony of the
whites, some of them driving in their
own carriages, leaving cards with scru
pulous attention to etiquette. They
dine with each other, and are waited
upon by oolored servants, with whom
they will permit no other relations than
those of master and servant. Probably
the leading family in the highest colored
sooiety here is that of ex-Beuator Bruce,
who is now the Register of the Treasury.
Bmce is a light-eomplexionod, intelli
gent-looking man. Ho is said to be
worth about a hundred thousand dollars.
He lives in a handsome Iioubo that ho
owns on M street. It is riohly furnished.
A superb piano stands in tho reoeption
room and a choice collection of books
lines the wall of the library. • Mrs.
Bruce is a handsome woman, with not a
suggestion of her race in her face, and
whose manners are regarded as tho con
summation of ease, graoo and courtesy.
Bhe dresses as richly and handsomely
as any woman in the oity.
Another member of this social oirole
in John T. Cook, the Oolieotor of Taxes
for the Distriot He lives in excellent
style and entertains handsomely. Prof.
J. M. Gregory, professor of Latin at the
Howard University, and John M. Lang
ston, the Minister to Hayti, with their
families, are reoognized members of tho
best oolored society, while Dr. Gharles
B. Purvis’s society and that of his wife
are eagerly sought
Dr. Purvis is a very busy man, being
the surgeon in charge of tho Freedman’s
Hospital, and the Professor of Materia
Medics at tho hospital school. Nearly
all of his scholars are white. Dr. A. T.
Augusta and his wife also are received
in the highest circle of colored society,
while Dr. Augusta as a physician com
mands the respect of his white brethren
in the profession. Mr. Henry Smith,
for many years the Librarian of the
House of Representatives, entertains a
good deal, and his wife calls iu her own
carriage. R. T. Greener, a member of
the District bar and a graduate of How-
nrd, and his wife, who is au accom
plished musician, are much in society.
The Rev. Dr. Alex. Orummel, rector of
the leadiug oolored church .of the Epis
copalian denomination, is Always wel
comed. He is regarded ns the most
learned colored man in the Distriot, and
is highly respected by the white clergy
^! his denomination. Of course Fred
Douglass ranks os the leading colored
man of the Distriot, but he goes but
little into sooiety. He lives on the East
ern Branch of the Potomac. Douglass
is worth about $200,000. While his
wealth and ability make him easily the
foremost man of his race, he is not popu
lar. He is regarded as guilty of the same
Bins toward the colored men of which he
accuses the whites, namely, refusal to
recognize them or have personal rela
tions with them.
Mr. M. M. Holland, who is an offioer
in the Post Office Department, is said to
be the best classical scholar in the Dis
trict, and his attainments bring him the
highest social recognition of his people.
Wormley, of Wormloy’s Hotel, is a
leader of the best set on account of his
wealth, reputed to be $150,000, and his
relations with prominent white men.
Smith Wormly, one of his sons, is a large
owner of real estate here, and another
■on has an excellent practice as a phy
sician.
There is another and a much larger
society here that may be designated ns
of the eeoond rank. While holding no
sooial relations with th9 set just men
tioned, they are equally exclusive as re
gards those whom they hold beneath
them in the social scale. This class is
oomposed of Government clerks and of
people in comfortable circumstances.
These are a good many oolored men in
Government employ as clerks. They
form the basis of the society of the sec-
' and ra»k. Many of them own comfort-
able little homes, and one of the finest
streets in the oity is occupied by them.
This is Sixteenth street, between tho
Soott statue and the White House. It
is a splendid avenue, broad, well paved,
and in the heart of the most fashionable
part of the city. Nearly all of these
colored residents own their honses, ami
refuse to sell. The property is very
valuable, and must ultimately pass out
of their possession. These people are
very fond of social life, bnt they do not
find it in entertaining, bnt rather in so
ciables, balls, picnics, and especially in
their oknrches. They aro well dressed,
seem to prosjier, and are happy. For
thereat bulk of the oolored population.
—tne servants, lalxtrers, and the poor—
they have sympntliy, bnt no more have
social relations with them than a white
family would. Those latter in ibo main
are thriftless, living from hand to mouth;
happy if they do nothing, happy if they
get a job. Their social instincts are
gratified by the organization and main
tenance of societies of all sorts, benevo
lent, patriotic, social, nnd economic.
There are nearly 100 of these organiza
tions, supported almost entirely by tlio
laboring colored people.
The Revolution’s First Blood.
Rev. Dr. Armitage, of New York city,-
in a Sermon on Sunday said : There
have been warm contests as to the place
in whiob patriotic blood was first shed
in the American Revolution. By Home
the holy claim lias been yielded to the
village green at Lexington, Mass., on
April 19, 17751 Others have accorded
the honor to the Court House of West
minster, Vt., on March 13, 1776. Still
others accord tho distinction to the
forests of North Carolina, in tho battlo
of tho Alamanoo, May 16, 1771. And
yet others give it to Boston, where a
riot occurred iu King street, March 5,
1770. But I claim this high credit for
my honored and adopted city of Now
York, whioh first shod her blood in a
political contest with tho Crown, on
Golden Hill, in John street, near Fearl
street, on January 19, 20, 1770.
Ah early ns 1765 the Asscmldy of New
York hod resisted an act of Parliament
which required the colony to support a
military force without its consent. Tho
Assembly conceded some points in
June, 1766, bnt nullified the act by re
fusing to comply therewith in other
roepeots. The British garrison hod dis
played its resentment by cutting down
a liberty pole on the common which the
citizens had erected in honor of rt the
King, Pitt antttjihcrty.” Tho citizens
re-erected the polo and wore dispersed
by the military. Captain Sears and John
Berrien wero wounded in tho affray.
But the polo was put up aud out down
a second time and the public spirit be
came very feverish.
On November 25, 1766, tho govern
ment sent a second message to the As
sembly, asking an appropriation for the
army. Tho message was referred to a
committee, Qp December 12 tlio As
sembly refused to comply with the
requisition, and on March 18, 1767, the
tlifrd liberty pole wits chopped down.
The next day the pat riots put; up a fourth
polo, so strongly braced that attempts
made four successive nights to level it
were without success.
In May, 1707, the Assembly yielded,
and tho people denounced them, waxing
more indignant when, iu October,
Parliament prohibited the Assembly,
Governor and Council from passing any
act till they bail obeyed the King. On
January 12,1770, tho soldiers attempted
to split the liberty pole with gun
powder, but fire bells wcto rung, tho
people assembled and the soldiers were
defeated. On tho 15tli another fruitless
attempt was made, but on the 17th the
polo was levelled. On thnt day there
was a meeting of 3,000 citizens on the
spot where the pole had stood nnd tho
people resolved to treat the soldiers if
found armed and abroad at night and
bohaving insultingly ns euemirtt of the
city’s peace. This so exasperated the
garrison that a contest finally ensued on
January 19, 20, 1770, between the
soldiers aud the citizens, on Golden Hill,
in John street, between Gold and Pearl
streets, iu which several citizens were
stabbed with the bayonet aud slashed
with the cutlass.
IVhnt a Visitor Says.
Lord Coleridge, in a letter from Lon
don to Elliott F. Shepard, thns disposes
of the report that he was about to write
a volume on America:
“To-morrow Mr. Gladstone hns asked
himself to dine with us and we shall
have, T know, a great deal of American
talk together. Ho is very anxious that
some one should write a really good au
thentic book about your people. If only
De Tocquevilles could be had for the
asking, nobody conld possibly be better.
But they cannot. I, f3? my part, shrink
from attempting anything even so seri
ous a« a magazine article, and the only
person I can suggest to do it is Goldwin
Smith, who is half an American and is a
most splendid writer of English. The
fact is, my dear Shepard, you and your
friends spoiled me, as I said. I- saw
such very nice people and was so very
kindly treated that I am sure my view of
America is not complete. There cannot
bo fifty-five millions of such men and
women as I saw; aud people here would
say that the kindness aud generosity of
your people had turned my head, or
that I had gone out of my mind, to
which they perhaps might add, I had
not far |Rgo.”
FROfi HUNTING. [
A OKMCKII'TION OF HOW IT 18 DONE.
The Queer Vienne By Which Mne Fenple
Obtnln n LltellbnnA.
[From the Philadelphia Press.]
Among the people who inhabit the
lower section of the city, commonly
known ns the “Neck,” are a class who
obtain their livelihood by what can be
picked up in the “M’aah.” „ Many of
these can bo found in “Smoky Hollow,”
and Frogtown’s population is almost en
tirely oomposed of this class. During
most of the year they gain their suste
nance by what they call “froggiug,”and
are known as “froggers.” The frog
hunter's outfit consists of a canvas suit,
an old hat, a pair of long l>ools, a large
Img mode of some coarse material, and a
dip uet mounted on a strong iron frame,
securely fastened to a polo from six to
eight feet in length. The ditches and
marshes abound iu bullfrogs and the
frog hunter dredges these pools of stag
nant water for them. They find ready
sale for thoir “gamo” to a wholesale
bouse on Market street, the prico vary
ing from thirty to fifty cents a dozen,
according to the size. The people en
gaged in this business generally livo ns
near their bunting grounds ns possible,
and the row of little boat houses on the
Delawngo, below the salt works, ou the
old Point House road, is peopled by
them. The hunters make trips twice a
week to the city, to dispose of their
frogs and obtain their little stores. Their
mode of life is primitive in the extreme,
and they aro generally quiet, inoffensive,
and hospitable.
A reporter called at the oahin of
George W. White, the oldest frog hunt
er living in the Neck. His cabin is situ-
nted about the centre of a row of boat-
liousos ou the Delaware banks, near the
s|H)t formerly occupied by the Point
House, aud consists of one room. Mr.
White received the reporter pleasantly
nnd said : “Yes, I’m a frogger. Frog-
ging isn't wliat it used to be when I was
younger. I've followed this business for
twenty-seven years, and all my family
wero froggers Indore me. My father fol
lowed it for nearly forty yearB, but he’s
dead now, and I’m tho oldest fiog hunter
living. Twenty years ago it wns no im-
common thing for me to catch from
thirty to forty dozen frogs in a single
day, but now I’m satisfied if I get from
eight to twelve dozen a day. When I
first went iuto this business with roy
father frogs wore only worth from six to
tou cents a dozen, bnt then they were
more plentiful, and a dollar went much
further than uow, but I guess I make as
much on tho whole ns we used to. There
were a great many more hunting them,
too, in those days, and often tho market
would be glutted for several days. Now
they have either all died off or gone crttA
of the business entirely, nnd but few
young men engaged in it except for fun.
“It is uo easy task to tramp all day
through tho mud aud water, with a
heavy rake or uot ou your shoulder and
a bag full of kicking froga^dyour back,
nnd most people prefer an easier method
of making a living. But it’s a trade,
the sumo os any mechanical work; it
takes brains and muscle both, and,
above all, a rugged constitution. The
marsh is ns full of malaria ns an egg is
of meat, and no ono not born in the
Neck could live here a year. I start out
shortly after daylight in the morning
with my bag and rake, and go to some
point iu the ‘ma’sh’ aud begin operations.
I work tho ditch toward the cabin nnd
got Bomewhere near it by noon. Then I
put my frogs in n barrel and cover them
with ditch grass. After dinner I go off
again, this time somewhat further, nnd
dredgo tho ditches until near dark, when
I return home and after supper clean
and huuoh the game.”
“How do you know where tho frogs
are?” was asked.
The First Prize.
Captain Fortier, who war killed in the
politiool disturbance in New Orleans,
has been an active Ogden man through
out tho canvass. He was well known in
tho West and South as the Captain of
Fortier’s crack volunteer battery of artil
lery. Two years ngo ho competed for
the artillery prize at Louisville and In
dianapolis in the military drill. Ho won
first prize at Louisville, aud claimed that
he was jockeyed out of it at Indian
apolis, aud refusing the second prize
there, appealed to tho Secretary of War
for a revision of tho judge’s verdict.
Tho matter was referred to a board of
artillery officers, who decided that For
tier’s detachment was entitled to the first
honors on that occasion. Last summer
iiis detachment won first prize at Nash
ville.
Sent Back.—Sixty’ bushels of pam
phlets, advertising a patent medicine,
wore received in the Boston Post Office
and were found on- examination to con
tain also a circular advertising a Kansas
lottery. They will be sent back by ex
press to the firm, in New York State,
who mailed them at its expeuse, aud it
is not unlikely that the firm will 'be
prosecuted iD the United Slates Courts
for sending contraband matter through
the mail.

VERY OLD BUT VERY HOOD.
Mr. WilMa and the Reek 1|tnt Who Waa
K'aal to the Ocroelon.
A Philadelphia book agent impor
tuned James Watson, a rich and close
New York man, living out at Elizabeth,
until he bought a book, the “Early
Christian Martyrs.” Mr. Watson didn’t
want the book, bnt lie bought it to get
rid of the agent; then taking it under
tiia arm he started for the train, wMcb
takes him to his New York office.
Mr. Watson hadn’t been gone long
before Mrs. Watson came homo from a
neighbor’s. The book agent saw her,
and went in and persuaded the wife to
buy auother copy of the same book.
She was ignorant of the fact that her
husband had bought the same book in
the morning. When Mr. Watson came
back from New York at night Mrs.
Watson showed him the book.
I don’t want to see it,” said Wat
son, frowning terribly.
“Why, husband ?” asked his wife.
“Because that rascally book agent
sold me the samo book this morning.
Now we’ve got two copies of the sama
hook—two copies of the ‘Early Chris
tian Martyrs’ and—”
“But, husband, we can—”
“No we can’t, cither 1" interrupted
Mr. Wntson. “This man is off cn tho
train before this. Confound it 1 I could
kill the follow. I—”
"Why, there he goes to tho depot
now,” said Mrs. Watson, pointing ontof
the window at the retreating form of the
book agent making for the train.
“Bnt it’s too late to catch him, and
I’m not dressed. “I’ve takou off my
boots, and—”
Just then Mr. Stevens, a neighbor of
Mr. Watson, drove by, when Mr. Wat
son poauded on tho window-pane in a
frantic manner, almost frighteniug the
horse.
“Here, Stevens 1” he shouted, "you
aro hitched up I Won’t you run your
horse down to the train aud hold that
book agent till I come ? Bun I Catch
’im now 1"
"All right,” said Mr. Stevens, whip
ping up his horso and tearing down the
rood.
Mr. Stevens reached tho train just os
tho conductor shouted “all aboard I”
“Book agent I” lie yelled, as the book
agent stepped ou to the train. “Book
agent! hold on I Mr. Watson wants to
see you."
“Wntson? Wutson wants to see
10?” repeated the seemingly puzzled
book agent. “Ob, I know what he
wants; he wants tobny one of my books;
but I can’t miss tho train to sell it to
him.”
“If that is all he wants, I can pay for
it and take it back to him. How muoh
is it?”
“Two dollars for the ‘ Early Christian
Martyrs,’ ” said tlie book agent, as he
reached for the money and passed tho
book out through the car window.
Just then Mr. Watson arrived, puffing
nnd blowing, in Ins shirt sleeves. As he
saw ihe train pull out ho was too full for
iterance.
"Well, I got it for you,” said
Stevens; “just got it nnd that’s all.”
“Got wliatflii yelled Watson.
“Why, I got tho book—‘Early Chris
tian Martyrs,’ and—”
“By — the — great— guns 1” moaned
Watson, as ho pi need his hand to his
brow and swooned right in tho middle
of tho street.

Mrs. B.—“Then wliy in the world don’t

up what the papers call a ‘boom ?’ ” Mr,
B.—“It would not do. my dear.
