THE SCULPTOR.
By MISS A. V. M'CABE.

d IA3oS - - u OaDb'
Written expressly for the BEE.1
1t was early in the morning,
The last morning of the summer,
When / sat beside my window,
And heard the sculptor's hammer.
He ceases not, nay, nor rests he,
Until the noon of his day doth come;
Then he partakes Of his luncheon,
Prepared by some friend at home.
Ill wait awhile till he is done;
Perhaps when he begins again,
He'll make his sounds to blend with thos,
Created by his fellow-men.
He does hegin; the same dull sounds.
Above the chirping of the bird.
And above the noise in the street.
The sounds of his blows are heard.
How dull the sounds that come from thence
Almost one continuous strain;
No harmony salutes mine ears,
Nor lingering cords remain.
The sculptor cares not for the sounds.
How ever discordant or sweet:
For he hammers from morn to eve.
That he his work may complete.
Each blow that he makes leaves the sign
On the rough, calcerouS stone;
And blow after blow he applies,
Till his piece begun is done.

SCRAPS AND NOTES-GLEAN-
INGS, COMMENTS, &c.

Bishop NJ. Brown is seriously i'll at
his home, Howard University Hill.
The Bishop is almost a wreck from in
cessant labor and continuous devotion
to the duties of his office. We with
the many thousands of the great and
good mans many warm friends wish
him a speedy recovery.
Washington, D. c.. has only one col
ored letter carrier. They talk too
much in Observation-Disclosures
World.
They may talk right smart-no
doubt they do, but it is talking and
kicking that obtained the recognition
we have here to-day. We are talking
now to Mr.. Postmaster Conger, son of
our great friend Senator Conger, for
more recognition. Does our brother of
the World desire that we remain dor
mant? By the way, the World seems
to be doing some pretty loud talking,
1t is natural to talk when you need
something. We are for more repre-
sentation. What is the World for?
THE MAN SHOULD BE EXPOSED
Annie Jones, l3-year-old white girl,
and a colored girl named Lavinia
Jackson, of about the same age, were
charged in the police court with
vagrancy. They had been arrested by
Officer Shilling upon notification from
the proprietresS of house on Thir-
teenth street, where man driving
there in a hack with the girls, tried to
obtain room for himself and the
white girl. The man was subsequently
released, and in dismissing the charge
against the girls the judge said the
man ought not to have been permitted
to go, but should have been brought into
court and duly exposed.
Had he been colored man that
policeman would never have accepted
a bribe and let him off, that is unless
it had been unusually large. There are
two distinct ways of doing up things in
this city, one way for the whites and
a dead sure way for the other color.
The defeat of the telegraph strikers
is what they deserved To say nothing
of men, Providence itself hates hypoc-
risy and deceit; and sooner or later
brings displeasures upon all who are
thus guilty. These same telegraph
strikers, while crying out against the
tyranny of Jay Gould's millions, them
selves essay to play the role of even a
worse tyranny. Let a colored man
attempt to join their Brotherhood, and
how soon will he be informed that he
cannot be accepted. And so of the
labor organizations generally. While
they cry out against the injustice of
capital. they themselves prove TO he
equally unjust, and more so, to the
colored Iaborer. For the present, at
least. we say to all colored laborers,
stand by the capital. 1t is the better
friend of the two.
The best enemies our race have can
be found in these brotherhoods.
Cursed be the day when success shall
crown an effort of theirs SO long as they
oppose the admission of our coloreCl
youth to the trades and professions.
We wish them non success in every
movement they make.

SPEAKER CARLISLE'S WIFE.
Pen Picture of the Lady Who Will

Mrs. Carlisle, the wife of the new
Speaker, will on the lst of January
take her place as the leader in official
social circles. AS long as Senator Ed :
munds holds the position of President
pro tenn. of the Senate, Mrs. Edmunds
will really rank Mrs Carlisle, but even
if Senator Edmunds should continue
to be acting Vice-President, Mrs. Car

Edmunds is in mourning for daugh.
ter and consequently will not go in
society. At all official dinners this
winter Mrs. Carlisle, like Mrs. Kelfer
last year, will rank her husband, and
if the President is present will take the
position corresponding to his. This
official etiquette seems very strange
outside of Washington, but here
where so many guests at entertain
ments are official it is absolutely nee,
essary that there should be some rule
of precedence or else there would be
bitter jealousies. At q dinner the
oldest Senator In point of service takes
precedence of all other Senators pres
ent, even though he may be the dull

who have served the longest take pre-

Standard Facts and Fancies.

Over three thousand languages are
spoken in the world, and yet there are
times when great many people fail to
find language suited to their ideas.
The day for nonentities is happily
ended; and the person who is born with
no special gift must set about creating
one or be overwhelmed by the darkness
of obscurity.
Weddings continue as much in vogue
as ever, Notwithstanding the fact that
hard times is preventing the fathers
from making the customary wedding
gift of thousand dollar bonds.
The heart it has been estimated, beats
seventy-tive times minute; sends
nearly ten pounds of blood through the
veins and arteries at each beat; makes
four beats while we breathe once.
The largest State in the civilized
world is Texas, which boasts of an area
of 274, 1856 square miles; the smallest is
the little State of Monaco, in Europe
and has an area of only six square miles.
Compared with the fact that at one
period in our lives year seems an end
less eternity, there is nothing more
startling, after emerging from youth
into man and womanhood, than the
rapid flight of the years.
If it were not for the family album
and the weather to break the thin ice
which is apt to CONCEAL when acquain-
tances are first made sociability would
be at a low ebb and life no better than

Late historical researches go to show
! that the custom of using the stocking as
receptacle for Christmas gifts had its
origin in the city of Chicago, the size of
the article worn by the bellies of that
city suggesting the idea of the utility of
the hose.
1t is better, perhaps, to be born a
giant than genius nowadays. A gen
ious does not always find the royal road
to fortune, but a giant is pretty sure to
get on the right track if he can only Sc
cure life engagement with a first class
circus combination.
An exchange says these are delight

but if the writer's studying was confined

them any more delightful than any

Beauty without brains is a poor pos

How Watch Cases are Made.

A plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-10 karats
fine is soldered on each side of plate Of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts ofthe cases-backs, centers, bezels, etc,
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit Of all
kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine
turning. The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and solidity, while
the pritten guarantee Of the manufacturers
Warranting each case to wear t,senty years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed This guarantee
is given from actual results, as many Of
