The Colored Good Templars.

The Anderson lodge Of Colored Good
Templars had an anniversary celebration
on last Thursday, which drew forth a
large and very orderly gathering of their
race. The procession, numbering about
one hundred and fifty, marched from
the Greeley Institute through the public
square to Hampton Park, and was head
ed by the colored band which made very
crcditable music for the occasion. at tho
stand the meeting was organized by Mr..
Green ID. Williams, the presiding ofIicor
of tho lodge, who made brief and we'll
timed introduction, after which Messrs.
e. Is. Murray, j. s. Murray, j. a. Rus
sell, G. +. Tolly and l.. p. Smith were
introduced and made short and appropri-
ate temperance speeches. At the conclu-
sion Of the speaking over sixty now
names wero enrolled, after which the
procession returned to tho lodge-room
and dispersed. The proceedings through
out were orderly, and showed an evident
advancement on the part of tho colored
people of this County, which is due, in
a large measure, to the extension of the
wholesome doctrine of temperance.

good portion of which lie bequeathed to n

the past three years. He has many friends

Of MS death.
The Good Samaritans held picnic cclc-
bration i'll Anderson on last Friday. A
large crowd of colored people were present,
and the meeting was an orderly one in the
main Tkeprocession numbered some three
| hundred persons, and large number of
followers. Speeches were made by Elias
Terrell Jchu Thomas, a colored man from
Newberry named Jones, and one or two
| others. The speakers, as far as we can
learn, spent most of their time in asserting
that the society is not political, and were
very much exercised over the article in the
lNTELLIGENcER last week, which expressed
our belief that it is n political society. They
denounced the charge, and said that who
ever told the Editor of this paper that it was
political had said that which was false. The
object which they give for the society is the
elevation of their race, charity to the poor
and supervision of burying the dead. These
are worthhy objects if they are the only
ones held by the organization, but it is re-
ported all over this County that its object
is to unite the colored people OF politics
Colored men have said this, and the char
acter Of the leaders of the society here indi-
Gates that there is something beyond tho
objects given. The meetings are too fire.
quent and last too long for simply bencvo.
lent purpose. We do not believe that the
masses of the members know the object for
which the society is formed, for as a general
thing they cannot give any intelligent object
They are simply organized, and if there is
any political significance to come out of it,
the development will only be made short
time before the next election. The society
is formed under Northern influences, and
will be used in accordance with the plan
for the execution of which it was brought
into existence. Ifit has no politics in it
now, its members should guard it carefully
in order that nothing of the kind shall be
admitted into its ranks, for as certainly as
it IS made political machine, just so sure
ly will it produce nothing but mischief.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

This morning about 4 o'clock, Mrs.
Patrick Hanley, OF No. 8i5 r. Eighth
street, was awakened from her sleep by
the coughing Of two of her little child
rem, who we're In bed in the back room.
As they continued to cough Mrs. II an
ley arose from bed and proceeded to the
room occupied by them. Upon opening
the door of the bed room she was horri.
Ned TO find that 1t was filled with smoke,
aud the two little ones in a strangling
condition. She hastily called her hus-
band and with his assistance removed
the children, and then threw open the
windows.
Upon examination MIR. Hanley found
that the floor was on fire. He gave an
alarm, and In response couple OF fyouna
men living In the vicinity went to his as.
sistance, and IN short time the fire wa
extingushed by tie application of few
buckets of water.
1t is supposed that the floor became ig
nite1 from the chimney. When the
family retired they left a fire In the
stove below, but az II was nearly out
they did not expect for an instant that II
would do the damage that 1t did.
IL was very fortunate that Mrs. Han
ley was awakened, otherwise the child
rem might have been stranRl.d by the
smoke. The fire burned large hole il

Artesian Well at ocean City.

The one great drawback Of Ocean City
becoming one OF the leading summer re-
sorts, was the lack of drinking water, but
fortunately ihat drawback has been over
come. FOR some time past, Mr.. l. n.
Mills, the ghnt iemanly and accommodate
ing manager IF the Delaware Railroad,
who is Interested in making Ocean City
what it should be, farmers summer re-
sort, conceived the idea that good drink
ing water could be obtained on the Is
land. Acting on his conviction, he en-
ployed an expert short time ago to bore
an artesian we'll. Work was commenced
and after boring 10 the depth of eighty
feet, a vein was struck and capacious
stream of water flowed up. The water
has been tested, and found to be exec
lent quality, soft and not the least brak-
ish. A pump is now being constructed
and will soon be placed in position. 1t
IS very probable that other wells will be
bored.
Mr.. Mills deserves the thanks Of those
who visited Ocean City, for his enter
prise and energy in endeavoring to sup
ply them with good drinking water.

ANGRY TALK OVER THE APPOINTMENT
OF CHAMBERLAIN AS RESTAURANT
KEEPER.
Special Correspondence of The Times.
WARRINGTON, April, %, 1879.
There Is a good deal Of angry COM
ment on the part of Republicans over
the selection by the House committee
on public buildings and grounds of John
+. Cham berlain for keeper OF the restau.
rant under the House of Representatives..
The complaint is that Chamberlain was
formerly a gambler. Well, what If he
W.? He does not gamble now, and as
not gambled in several years. FOR the
past TWO years he has kept restaurant
here. which has been and is frequented
by the best people in town, and there
has never been gambling game in the
establishment. If it was proposed to
make hamberlain Chaplain OF the
House, his former life might be legiti-
mate cause of objection but in res
tauraut, either In the Capitol or else
where, the proprietor Is expected to dish
up acceptable food and moi morals for
congressman and others. The mere fac
that Chamberlain was once gambler
ought not to bar him from association

present Congress, which numbers among

proprietor pays nothing for the privil-

nothing for rent, although his kitchen,

spacious. He geis his fuel for nothing,
he pays not hing for his Ice, nor water.
nor gas. Even the furniture is owned
by the government. The proprietor thus
has TO furnish nothing but crockery, lin

prices charged are higher than the saIne

Bayard and His speech ON the Army
Bill.

Cor. Pittsburg Chronicle, (Rep.)
1t was good speech, carefully written
and full of sober, conservative sentiment.
Mr.. Bayard is not partisan of the type
of Conkling, Blaine, human and Ben
Hill. He has more dignity than any of
them, aud seems never to forget that he
is the son of Senator and the successor
of his father. He is undoubtedly man
who enteftains a high sense of honor.
and one who never takes advantage of
any parliamentary privilege, even though
he might thereby gain a move on the
party chess-board. His speeches read
well, and they are pleasant study, for
they contain many elegant passages that
are lost in the delivery, from the fact
that the Senator's voice and manner are
not adapted to oratory. His voice is
sharp and high-pitched. and his face is a
continuous repetition Of forms and con-
tortions. Even in ordinary conyersat Oh
his countenance is expressive OF suffer-
ing and excitement. He has, however,
fewer faults and fewer failings than most
men. His integrity is of the highest or
der, and i'll his daily life he is as pure as
a woman. He has the respect and warm
est regard of every Senator, and as q
lawyer anu ucDaIer he is accorded
place among the foremost; but he has ne
magn netism, and when the people crowd
in TO hear him, they do it because they
believe they will hear the honest truth
clothed in strong, chaste and betittin!
language, and that they will have al
hours relief from partisan railing an'
cant, and prophesies of rioting and ruin

AN EDITORIAL EPISODE

Mr.. Rodgers, living near New Castle,
called at the editorial Office of the Every
and Commercial, yesterday, to express
his di a 1proval Of an item in that paper
which alluded to his brother, the late
VIM. Horsey Rodgers, ESD, as "cross
between a Bougham and D'Orsay,"
and which he considered uncompliment-
ary in other respects. He gained the
editorial presence, when war of words
ensued, during which threats were made
on one side, aud defiance howled on the
the other. The controversy was abruptly
ended by one of the ofiice attaches clos
ing the editorial door, leaving the offend
ed Rodgers on the outside. This timely
action stopped any further waste of wind
and doubtless prevented the shedding o.
human gore.

or three hours catch two or three thous-
and herring. This Spring they have re-
duced down to two or three hundred.
We have fish here all the year round and
