A QUEER CHARACTER.
Uncle Moses Harris, the Prophet, Physi-
clan, and PhiIosopher OF East WASH
inpton.

Uncle Moses Harris, the Prophet, Physi-
clan, and Philosopher OF East WASH
ington.
One of the queerest characters in Washing
ton is Uncle Moses Harris, q colored man,
over whose white and woody head the winds
of at least ninety winters have swept, and
whose memory is volume of historical
"reminiscences of Virginia aud Virginians.
He resides in small shanty constructed
by his own hands just east of Lincoln
park, and ekes out an existence by tell
ing fortunes and prescribing familiar reme-
dies for those who seek his services. Uncle
Moses was originally owned by the famous
John Randolph, and relates many interesting
stories of his former master. He was visited
by REPUBLICAN reporter last evening in his
hut-like residence. The interior is sparsely
furnished and after bowling his head to get
into the place, the reporter found the old fell
low crouching down beside a small stove rub
bing his scrawny hands briskly together. The
usual salutatiOns were passed aud the matter
of fortune telling being referred TO, Uncle
Moses said, You sec, sab, / nebber fails in
tclln' dc truth TO dem as pays me fer it, cuz
Iso gifted with the won'erful powers men.

AN den | kin see way ahead. It's easy nufi,
sab, when yer look at il rite, it's like dc

What are your charges2" inquired the re-
porter.
"All dc way up, sab; all de way up. I
doan' sot any 'ticklar prices, but takes what
de customer gibs me, an dey allus Gums back
agin."
Are you a physician?"
No, sab but Use doctor--a homo DOCTOR

only gibs cherry bark, gympsum, snake-root,
an dem kind OBJ herbs. Den fer misery in dc
back ministers bread poultis or coal lie, and
sab, whedderyou believe me or not, Use nebber
lost one case"
And as tho queer old man continued his
lecture on medicine, the reporter disappeared
out through the croughly-constructed aperture
which served as door. Uncle Moses is rev.
erenced by nearly all the colored people resid-
ing in his neghborhood and his counsel is
sought quite frequently by them. His garb
is rough and patched, and he only leaves his
house to hobble II few squares once in great

Equal Division Hop.

The entertainment given under the auspices
of Equal division, No. 3, Sons of Temperance,
last night was an interesting and enjoyable
affair. The hall of the West End academy
was tastefully decorated and comfortably
filled by an audience, mostly representatives
of the various temperance organizations of
the West End. The programme was made up
of vocal selections by Miss Virginia Moody,
the soprano of 1T. Johns church; Miss Sallie
Westhorpe and Mr.. 4. j, Whipple, and recita-
tiOns by DIR. N. Frank White and Mr.. r. NJ.
Mckee. At the conclusion of the exercises
the floor was cleared and the entire assem-
blage took part in hop which kept up until
AL early hour this morning,

EAST WASHINGTON.

A few nights ago the office of Mr.. T. b.
Cross, the wel-known East Washington coal
and wood dealer, was daubed all over with
black paint by some cowardly vandal, who
evidently desired to revenge himself Last
night the same party repeated the otfense
upon the front of Mr.. Cross's residence, which
is painted white, by making series of large
black crosses, &C., upon it. The police are
looking for the perpetrators of this extreme
outrage, and if they are captured severe pun
ishment should be meted out to them.
A large and merry party of young folks as
scmbled at McCauley's hall last night, the oc-
casion being dancing reunion by Profs
Miller and Wolch. Those present enjoyed
the hours while the music was simply superb
Among those present were Misses Emma Mar

wnshlngton LodSe Entertainment.

Washington lodge No. 8, /. o. o. f.. gave
musical and literary entertainment last night
to crowded house at Odd Fellows hall.
That the choice programme offered was ap-
preciated was evident from the frequent
applause. Rossini's beautiful duet, "The
Regatta" was well rendered by Misses
Dupont and Haas Miss Bessie Perrys rcci-
tation, in costume of Hoods Lost Heir"
showed much study of detail, as did also
THE Orphans Prayer" Down the Shad-
owed Lane She Goes" and "The Star
Spangled Banner" were we'll sung by Miss
Bette McEwen. Little Eva Henderson fol-
lowed with THE Baby's Soliloquy" and
"Children at the Menagerie," which was TO-
cited in piquant manner. The flute duet of
Messrs. Mcfarland and Lapham was well re-
ceived. Miss NJ. Il. Roberts sang "Some
Day." and replied to the encore
with that charming Scotch ballad,
" Douglas" which was given in rich,
clear voice, perfect intonation, and rare
delicacy of expression. 1t was the gem of the
evening. By special request Prof. Townsend
read Mark Twain's "Bcef Contract" and
Mr.. William Lackey followed with some
choice selections. Mr.. Leese's whistlirg solo
and glee by the Mount Vernon Quartette
Club closed the programme. The floor was
then cleared and the young folk were soon
whirling in the mazes of the waltz to the
strains of Webers orchestra. The lady friends
of the lodge prepared bountiful supper, to
which justice was done. At an early hour
this morning the lights were turned down and
the crowd departed for their homes.

The Flats Improyement,

Maj. Haines said yesterday he would not he
embarrassed in the work of dredging the flats
if congress made an appropriation soon after
the beginning of next session. The work is
progressing very well. The contract time
expires next September, but he thinks an cx-
tension should be made He thinks that the
long bridge should be torn down or re-
constructed, aud instead of bridge
with number of 80 feet spans there should
be spans of 300 feet. The bridge could
be reconstructed for railway and other travel
by having tho railway go over the roadway
used by wagons and pedestrians. lie will
commence work on the sea wall soon This
wall will be nearly $4,000 feet long, and when
the dredging is complete there will be n chan
mel of at least twenty feet, which can be
maintained for years without further drcdg-
ing.
Mai. Haines also thinks the interests of the
district would be better subservcd if the
house would appoint special committee in
charge of the flats improvement
