1T WOULD seem from paragraph in the
GAzETTE's Washington correspondence of
yesterdays date that the government de-
partments continue to be conducted in the
interest Of General Malone, and that the
General is still engaged in paying the negroes
with federal ofF:cs for the support they
gave him last November so as 10 secure the
maintenance Of their allegiance during this
springs and next fall elections, b"t that lii
promises are so numerous he has 10 curtal
the terms of the Offices he gives away to
ridculously short periods, even less than a
month. Will the negroes ever learn any
thing? They believe that the civil war was
fought 10 free them. and almost worship the
name of Lincoln. though Mr.. Lincoln's own
letters, still preserved, show that neither he
nor the republican party ever contemplated
their freedom until the necessities of the
North suggested it as Il war measure. They
believe that the Mahoneies are their friends
though Governor Cameron is on record as
saying only few years ago that they were
only ut competitor, with monkeys for chest
nuts, and though General Malone tells the
departments to give them offices. but only
for month and for even less time if deemed
necessary. months high pay is sufficient
to make them dissati> d with their lot dur
ing the remainder ofther lives, and the after
state of all such appoirtees is much worse
than the first. But notwithstanding all
their experience they will, in the future as
in the past, continue to supply the General
with all his really effective strength.

Deutscher Schueler Verein.

As noticed last week, the German class,
formed last February, closed its regular
session for the summer months in order to
be able TO attack the German language
with renewed energies next fall. Last
Wednesday evening there was a social at
Mr.. Gannett's, which was attended by
nearly all the members of the former Ger
man class. and Prof. Mast, of Bloomington,
ILL.,, and Norton Horr, just returned from
New York, were present by invitation.
The evening was pleasantly spent, the Wis
iting gentlemen, by their familiarity with
the German language contributing to the
sociability, the conversation being all in
German. These gentlemen who have Civ
en- years of study to the German language,
one of them in its native land, were sur
prised at the progress which the class had
made in 20 lessons.
Before separating it was decided to form
regular society retaining the old name
the former President and Vice President,
F. W. Mueller and Miss Orrie Warner,
were reelected by acclamation, and Christie
McDermott was made Secretary and Treas
urer. A committee composed of Messrs.
Ritter and Mueller and Miss Warner were
appointed to draft a constitution The
next meeting will be held June 9th, at
the residence of Mrs. j. McDermott.

The s. s. Picnic.

The parents, officers and teachers of the
Congregational Sunday School arranged
holiday for their school, which was sue
cessfully carried out in a picnic on the
Fair Grounds last Saturday. Assembling
about eleven o'clock they had dinner
spread on tables, in classes and were wait
ed upon by the older ones, it being child
ren's day and they the honored guests.
After dinner which was bountiful enough
to feed sufficiently the Sunday School, Wis
itors, Band and some base ball players, who
came and found their old stamping grounds
already occupied, the children went
through some very interesting exercises.
There was the winding and the UNIV inding
of three May Poles, and three companies
of boys in uniform went through military
drill: Carl Rust Captain Co. A, Eddie
Sawtell of Co. B, and Mortimer Laundon
of Co. c.
OF literary exercises, there was Para
phrase upon the lesson of June srd by Miss
Orrie Warner, another read by Sadie
Watts, one by Carrie Trip and one deliv-
cred by Will Eglin. They represented
four classes, and were all reported as high
ly creditable. These exercises are certain.
ly calculated to stimulate thorough study,
and Bible knowledge thus obtained will
not be forgotten.
The parents and teachers were very tired
servitors, but the children especially voted
| it delightful day.

Harrington-Starr.

Elyria may justly be designated as
Cleveland suburb, and its doings have come
to interest largely Cleveland people. June
weddings are in order, and the present
week has been occupied with festivities
One of the social events of Wednesday eve-
ming was the marriage of Miss Marian
P. Starr, youngest daughter of Mr.. Horace
c. Starr, long time resident of Elyris, to
Mr.. George Harrington, of Boston. A
large assemblage of friends, among them
many Cleveland guests, awaited in the
Episcopal Church the arrival of the bridal
party, which appeared at the entrance at
$50. The groom, accompanied by his best
man, met the bride at the chancel, where
the impressive ceremony was performed
by the rector, Rev. ]. w. Cracraft, assisted
by Rev. B. E. Noakes.
The floral decorations were especially
graceful, and represented the service of
loving friends, who hold in tender regard
the fair bride whose childhood was passed
among them, and whose winsome woman
illness has drawn all hearts unto her.
The bridegroom was accompanied from
Boston by an escort of gentlemen, who
with the wedding party, left on the Eastern
train the same evening-Cleveland Herald

Telephone Items.

We had intended to write short article
for this issue on matters connected with
the Telephone, but could not get the time.
Everything is working as satisfactorily as
could be expected, and it is growing in
favor as an easy and rapid method of COM
munication, and as an aid to the transac-
ton of business almost indispensable. That
it is not absolutely perfect in its workings
at all times and under all conditions is
only what could be expected of any human
contrivance.
Our subscribers can cut out and paste to
the Iottom of their lists the following:
I'D. L. Wadsworth, Residence.
50-Oberlin Exchange.
We have an ambition to add % more
during the year, and think that we have
reasonable prospect of getting half that
number of subscriptions this season.

Strouing Vagabonds.

Saturday evening there passed through
our streets to the North family Of those
strolling vagrants and beggars, said to be
common in Eastern Europe, but not often
seen in this country. They could speak
little French, but were of the nearly ex-
tinct Slavonic race, who have for genera
tons lived by beggary and plunder. The
man led a Cinnamon bear, who was made
to dance for the crowd, and expected a con-
tribution for the performance. A small
boy led creature of the monkey or ape
style which danced also, as a partner of
the lad and was the more civilized of the
two. A female, with matted hair, COM
plexion like smoked ham, and wearing
remarkable costume, with all the fashion
able colors, so perfectly and inconspicuous-
ly blended, that one could not begin to tell
where ''mastic" and solve" began or
shrimp pink" and ''crushed strawberry"
ended. Her surplus waist, her tablier,
sashes, polonaise and general drapery
had that careless ease that would
be the despair of our fashionable
dressmakers. She wore her tournure
on her shoulders and made it the recepta-
Gle of her extra baggage. We could not
quite make out the perfumery with which
she must have immersed her pocket hand
kerchief, but avigorous odor trailed after
them like the tail of a comet; one child
insisting that she could not 60 to sleep on
account of still smelling it an hour after;
but we are confident it was not White Rose
or Jockey Club, or anything common, or
such as our Wellington young ladies use,
nor was it extremely fascinating. Another
caricature of woman led through the
muddy street an old pack-horse so laden
with baggage and sticks and poles that he
appeared to be carrying off a small circus.
A little girl walked by the way, and peep
ing from the paniers were babies heads
swung up so as to balance the heft on the
opposite side. The women could speak
enough English to be ssucy and resentful
where their begging was fruitless.
