Gen Fitzhngh Lee says: "I kaow
Polk Miller well. When he is
sketching the ‘foe de war’ negro,
if you did not know that he was
Polk Miller you would think he
was a darkey of olden time, and if
yon didn’t know he was an old-
time darkey yon would think he
was Polk Miller.”
Mark Twain in introdneiog Mr.
Miller at.the Madison Square Gar
den concert Hall, New York city,
said: “Mr. Miller is thoroughly
competent to entertain you with
his sketches of the old-time negro,
and I not only commend him to
your intelligent notice, bnt I per
sonally endorse him. The stories
I have heard him tell are the best
I have ever heard.”
We could give many more such
notices, but these are sufficient.

The most enjoyable society event
of the season was the Yiolet Te.a
given by Miss Nell Bogers Tues
day evening, at the lovely home of
her mother, on* Washington Ave ,
in houor of her charming guest,
Miss Barfield, of Unadilla.
At 9 o’clock the doors were
thrown open| to admit the guests,
the leading members of the social
set. The floral decorations were
beautifully artistic in their sim
plicity. The hall and parlor were
daintily perfumed with the odor
from many lovely sprays of the
Yellow Jessamines. The diniDg
room was profusely decorated with
the modest violet, and as the coup
les assembled to partake of the ele
gant repast, the ladies in tbeir
dainty evening dresses and the
gentlemen, handsome and gallant,
the delicate violet glow from the
lamps which was cast oyer all,
made up a perfect picture of artis
tic beauty. Probably the most
enjoyable feature of the evening
was the music, by Miss Laeson
and Miss Cooper, -also the Cornet
Soioes, Schuberts Serenade—and a
selection from “The Bohemian
Girl,” by Mr. E. H. BraseltoD,
which were thoroughly enjoyed.
Mr. Braselton is certainly an artist
in this line, and the selections last
night were especially appropriate
for the occasion.
The guests v£ry reluctantly took
their departure in the wpe - sma’
hoars’—all voting Miss Bogers a
charming hostess.

one plank tore up in de middle of
bis hoase-all the time, so if de
sheref comes atter him dat he jus
goes through where the plank is
tore up, and tells his wife to tell
the sheriff dat Daniel isn’t home.”
The boys say that they are going
to have a base ball team right; and
expect to defeat every team they
play; so lookout.
It looks like it wants to rain, so -
I will watch the clouds as they
pass over. So good bye,hoping to
