On Saturday night last, by special
invitation from old Uncle Ike Rob

tended the marriage of his daugh-
ter at the old family residence of the
late Harrison Roberts, on the South
side. When we arrived we found
about fifty white persons and about
one hundred colored in attendance.
The Rev. Jas. Smith performed the
ceremony between Miss Vina Rob-
erts and Mr.. Geo. Waller. The Ia
bic was beautifully arranged, and
well supplied with delicacies of ev-
cry kind, and decorated with a pro-
fusion of flowers. Old uncle Ike
was a faVOrite of his former master,
and has so conducted himself since
the war that he has the confidence
and respect of all the white people
in that neighborhood, and when
one of his children marries he al
ways gives big supper and invites
both white and cOlored.

We cannot let the opportunity pass
without adding our testimony to his

A DESERVING ENTERPRISE.

Since the Manhattan Eye and Ear Hospital. No 23s
East Thirty street. began its work. the 18th
OF October 1862 26, ,667 INDECENT persons have been
treated in its dispcnsary and wards and during the
period 43I9 important surgical operations have
been performed upon the eye. and throat. A
special feature in the hospital is the combination of
the four speciates of diseases of the cye ea throat
and nervous system. This combination in proper
hands makes it easy relatively to detect diseases Of
the organs under observation. inasmuch such dis
eases often show themselves first in remote parts.
Thus disease OF the nervous system may have it's
first manifestation in the eye, disease of the
have its first manifestation i'll the throat. &c.
The hospital owns u block of ground on
Park avenue, upon which its managers hope long
to build. The hospital needs about $4,000 for
rent expenses and $5OOO0 to remove the cncunbrancc
from its lots and put up small bat sufficient house
upon ts property is $4,000. and its floating debt is
81 900. making in all less than $25.OOD. should
S5O0O be given to IL there would be s25OoO left after
paying all its debts with which to build the much
needed hospital and dispensary.
The enterprise is not new but tested by nine years
of existence and is in the hands OF persons who may
be trusted TO benefit the poor without pauperizng
them.

ELEVATED RAILROAD REFORM.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HEnALp:--
Many suggestions have been offered by patient
and submissive public through the columns of your
paper those who interested in the management
os the elevated roads, in hope that some relief
may be afforded those who obliged to
travel these roads after five O'Clock p. NJ.
1t has been said that the oycrcrowdng morning and
evening may be obviated by reducing the fare five
cents during all hours of the day, thereby dis
tributing the traffic now confined to commission
hours. 1 wish to dissent from this opinions first,
because the Inconvenience. not to say
danger. of travelling during these hours
is so well understood that those who
can do already avail themselves of the opportun-
ity of riding in uncrowded car by taking train
before Ave ococ and the statements recently given
the public bv the statstician OF the Metropolitan
Elevated Railway may be relied upon what the
traffic would continue to be, with the fare
duced: second. those who travel cannot convon-
icntly leave their business before Ave p. NJ and
enough would be disposed to leave if the fare
reduced ~ an inducement to make the COM
Portable and uncrowded after five p. NJ. for those
who cannot possibly leave earer third any increase
of traffic between four and five p NJ would crowd the
and afford ground for complaint to those who
now consider IT cheap to get comfortable seat all
ivc cars to train longer station Platforms draw
ing or palace ear through express trains max
ing but few stops, drawing room or palace at
tached to every way train and three tracks. This
will afford the relief asked for we'll as compensate
the companies for the extra expense. 1 to
say they will monopolize the entire uptown trsic at
night.
have nothing particular TO urge against reduced
fare during the middle of the day except that on the
Metropolitan Elevated Railway. where many ladies'
and children ride. il will introduce element among
this class which IL confined TO five cent hours
1. e., the cxpcctorating tobacco chewcr. the man
who persists in carrying the stump of
cheap cigar in his mouth to the discomfort of
his fellow passengers with sensitive ofacto-
rics, the highly favored African and many
other nuisanccs too numerous to mention who now
patronize only the commission trains. All these find
their counterpart in women of the same grade who
would desert the horse for the more luxurious
accommodations of the elevated road. With this
state OF affairs wives and daughters would have
something else to complain of than the ten cent
fares. Those who have regard for the refined tastes
of their families do not to subject them TO the
contemplation of that class of passengers. J.J.P.
