by the Freedmen's Bank

A"hehihlhcatlon asked for the Losses
by the Freedmen's Bank,
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The Colored
Mems Executive Committee to-day heard
reports from subcommittee. The COM
mlttee appointed to draw up memorial
TO Congress in regard to the Freedman,s
Bank recounted the provisions of the
charter OF the bank, which authorized de-
posits to be invested in United States
bonds only. Investments, hewever. were
made in real estate, which resulted in
loss and the closing of the bank. The
colored people were under the belief that
the government was responsible for the
safe keeping of their savings. In the
method adopted by Congress in wind
ing up the affairs of the cor
poration, they believe that the
law OF insolvency was violated.
In consideration of these facts the me-
mortal prays that the necessary appro-
prlation be made to fully indemnify the
creditors for all losses sustained by de-
posltors. Memorials were also reported
IN favor of national aid to education in
the States founded on the census of
llllteracy and in regard to political out
RACES in the South, from which the
memorlallsts demand the protection of
the American people towards the cOlored
people. A memorial upon civil rights was
reported by the committee, of which Fred.
Douglass and Register Bruce were made
members ltindOrsed the dissenting opinion
OF Justice Harlan, and urged the passage of
the Wilson amendment and the Edmunds
bill. These memorials gave rise to dis
cussion, and were finally adopted.
A resolution was adopted calling con-
vention to meet in Richmond, Va, on the
second Tuesday in July, 1884, to consider
the platform of the different political par
ties, and urging the colored people of the
United States to give countenance
and support to those only who shall
favor giving them their rights, civillv
and politically, and that recognition due
them as citizens. Organization through
out the nation was urged, and the colored
people were asked to support no man not
in favor of general education. A motion
was adopted authorizing the committee
to meet in Chicago May 20. 1884. A com
mittee consisting of J. G.. Wilson. DR..

The ColOmbier HOrsewhipping Sets
Paris by the Ears.

PARIS, Dec. 20.-The extraordinary dra-
matte episode in the apartments of Mile.
Marie Colombier Tuesday afternoon con-
tinues to be the subject of animated Cos
sip in all quarters. 1t is now known that
Sarah Bernhardt, upon starting out to
avenge the wrongs inflicted by Mile. Co.
lombier, armed herself with a dagger,
which she carried in her left hand, while
her right hand welded the stinging whip.
Mile. Colombier made no attempt at de-
tense, but sought immediate escape by
the back stairs, but not until her assailant
had inflicted several painful blows across
her face. Sarah, in presenting the whip
TO the concierge on leaving the house, re-
marked that it had been given to her by
the distinguished Marshal Canrobert.
but as it had been laid across the
YIsage of such an Odious person
as Marie COlombier she disdained to give
1t house room longer. During the general
sklrmIsh in the lower part of the house
one OF Sarah Bernhardt's friends said
that II Mile. Colombier had anyone will
ling to defend her in any particular, he
was ready to fight him. Another friend
tore Sarah's picture from the wall and
executed Il frantic dance upon it. wildly
asserting that it had been desecrated by
It's propinquity to Marie's portrait. The
appearance of Nine. Bernhardt at the
theatre to take part in rehearsal of the
new play "Nana Sahib," was the
occasion Of great comment. Herfriends
gave many evidences of their
sympathy with her, and the GOODNESS
of her demeanoa after the real drama, in
which she had played the part of leading
lady, was the theme of considerable ap-
plause. The general opinion now is that

courts, and as a consequence speculation
is busy as to what other developments
will grow out of the enlivenment.
NJ. Jetan SOudan, on behalf of Mile.
Colombier, has challenged NJ. Richepin,
one OF Nine. Bernhardts friends, to fight
duel. Both of these gentlemen were
present during the fracas. NJ. Richepin
declined the challenge. NJ. Soudan has
consequently published the following:
Il have found RIchepin coward in the
presence OF woman, and l have found him
a coward with man. This is logical"

A Good Hot Drink

A late London Lancet, the great British
authority on the science of medicine and
surgery, contained an exhaustive article
from an eminent New York physician, DR..
Ephriam Cutter, on the ''Therapeutical
Drinking of Hot Water" The idea is not
new. A correspondent of the Chicago
Journal tells story of the late Horace
Greeley, who was a strong believer in the
hot water treatment. An old friend of his
said: "Once Mr.. Greeley asked me if |
wouldn't take something.' l said yes,
and down stairs he led me, and around a
corner into a saloon, where we seated our
selves at table. what is it, gentle
menY asked the waiter. 'Well,' replied
Mr.. Greeley, looking at me earnestly, i
always take hot water, and / advise you

else," but Mr.. Greeley persisted in hav-
ing his cup of boiling hot water, and
declared it both "goOd" and s'stimu-
lating.''
