Fine parlor carpets, unless much
used, do not require thorough sweep
ing oftener than once q month, though
frequent brushing up may be required.
Where there is a large family, or the
carpets are much used. they should be
shaken frequently, as that removes the
sand and dust which grinds them out.

Ordinary whitewash, as frequently
used. has very little effect except to
disfigure the trees, says the Garden.
To destroy the insects and eggs hidden
in the crevices of the trees, very much
stronger applications have to be used.
Soft soap reduced to the consistency of
a thick paint, with the addition OF q
strong solution of washing soda, makes
one of the most lasting washes. A
solution of one pound OF commercial
potash, in from two to four gallons of
water, is also very good.

THE MOB REIGNS.
l am, yours, lovingly,
LOUISE.

The restoration of the right of
suffrage in the District of Colum-
bia will be dangerous thing and
dissIaos cJ-the lnreiiigono~ oE
this community, 80 long as the
mob reigns. There never was
convention more disgraceful, there
never were delegates more dis
orderly. Indeed, there were
some who were 80 drunk that they
did not know for whom they
were voting. The whiskey mob
was supreme, and if the city Of
Washington was searched, there
could not have been a more ignor-
ant man found to represent this
community than ?. III. Carson.
The leader of the worst element In
the District of Columbia. 1t is the
duty of the respectable people of
this city to call another conven-
ton and thus save the city from
an everlasting disgrace. We en-
deavsred to send intelligent and
honest men to the convention, but
we have no faith in the men who
have been sent. Mr.. Conger
Will stay by his trust, he is
young man who paid his way, and
we believe he will deliver his
goods. He never was known in
district politics, but he said that if
he went there he would do
what was right for the district If
it cost him ten thousand dollars.
Perry Carson was nominated and
sent to Chicago as q Logan
man, but he will sell out to any
mau who has got money enough
to buy him. He represents the
lowest type of Negroes in this
country.
The only savior. is if heIshould
get drunk as usual, and if Smith
or Gleason should have to act for
him, then the district would have
what it intended to have, An hon.
est representation.
Mr.. Logan was the sknown and
only man mentioned in the con-
vention as the choice of a people
for the presidency. He, above all
other men was represented there.
The thieves and cut-throats stabb-
ed him to the heart. If we are to
have suffrage in the District of Col
umbia, for Gods sake let us not
have universal suffrage, but quail
fed suffrage. No man should vote
who has no property in the Dis
trict of Columbia, white men, black
men or red men. The bowling
mob that met at Willard's Hall is
q criterion of the action of what
the right of the elective franchise
would be; and once placed in the
hands of the common people will
destroy our sacred privileges and
human rights.

LOUISE TO CLARA.

DEAR CLARA: am preparing sketches
of our school marms, their social status
and qualifications which hope you will
appreciate. / shall about complete my
talk on the Washington society in my
next one or two letter after which I shall
discuss the school marms. | am not sur
prised at you endorsing II. j. for the
school board. My idea is to have an entire
change. We need reform in every local
Office in the District of Columbia and the
only way to get it is to have such men ap-
pointed who are looked upon in the COM
munity as protectors of virtue. Our so
ciety, we must admit, need ventilating.
am in favor of a broad social platform. One
like our parents have told us about. There
must be change before our people can
be recognized as human. There is too
much prejudice among the colored Wash
ington society. 1t would be pleasure to
me to give you the pedigree of a few of
those people who are attempting to palm
off on our society as having come from the
F. F. VS., but if you only knew about
them there would be material change in
your mind. have not as yet completed

TIE SELL OUT.

There were several delegates in
the convention on Tuesday that
are entitled to be highly compli-
mented. Mr.. Andrew Gleason,
of the 10Th district was one of the
most honest men in the conven-
ton. There were delegates pledg-
ed to three or four candidates,
which was exposed to the eyes of
the convention. The convention
did not reflect any credit to the
district. The bad management of
DR.. Adams campaign defeated
him, and men whom he was
warned against, seemed to have
been his best supporters. Again,
DR.. Adams pretended to have been
working with US, and at the same
time, we have been informed, he
was stabbing US. Not withstand
ing, we kept our promise with
him, and endeavored to use all
honorable means to elect him.
We can say that we entered that
convention clear of corruption
and fraud. Mr.. Conger, came
out on the stage, after the first
ballot and defied the convention.
E. M. Hewlett, Esq, one of our
prominent lawyers, informed Mr..
Conger that his assertion was an
insult to the convention, but the
Negroes who were tied, voted for
him just the same. The assertion
made by Mr.. Conger should
have caused every Negro dele
gate to vote against him, but
they were too cowardly to do 80.
Some personal threats have been
made against Mr.. Hamilcar Tur-
leigh, because he unintentionally
made a mistake in counting the
ballots. If any thing of that char
acter is attempted, it will only
convince us of the cowardice of
the men who would attempt any
thing like that. Mr.. Conger
could not have been elected had
DR.. Adams proved himself man.
We advocated principle for the
best interests of the people of the
District of Columbia. That prin-
ciple was endorsed by the en-
tire city was defeated by whiskey
and money. 1t is no use to at
tempt to have suffrage in the Dis
trict of Columbia if respectable cit
liens have got to be controlled
andruled by mob. 1t is claimed
that Mr.. Clapp, was SOLD out by
his friends, we are not surprised
at that Men who have their own
ambition to satisfy will most un-
doubtedly kill their best friends
if possible. We mnst have re-
form before we can expect suffrage
in the District of Columbia. Con-
ger and Carson are the delegates
to represent the District of Colum-
bia in the Chicago convention.
Messrs. Andrew Gleason and A.
St. A. Smith are the alternates.
Mr.. Conger informs us that ne
will get US suffrage.

he has given good reasons for not preach
Ing funeral sermons on Sunday. The peo-
pie were in the greatest confusion about
the matter. Indeed it was funeral of
one of our most respectable citizens. What

If no more is done in this world than to
preach a funeral sermon on the Sabbath,
it would be world ofreligion. The family
