THE LIME KILN CLUB.-On motion of
Calamity Hastings the matter of a national
emblem for the coloTed race was taken from
the table for discussion. He favored bee
hive himself, but would not be captious
about it.
Prof. Bannister favored the coon as an
emblem. 1t represented industry, vigilance
and courage. Colored people were often re-
ferred 20 as coons, anyhow, and the emblem
would cut botn ways.
Trustee Pullback had given the matter
much thought, but bis preference was for an
old hen sitting on about thIrty-four eggs
If that didn't represent industry and clear
grit be didn't know what could.
Samuel Shin had made up his mind that
the OI ly emblem he would vote for would be
that of cOlored man walking in shady
lane with water melon under each arm.
Sir Isaac Wa!pole favored the figure of a
black bear; Elder Toots declared in favor
of the beaver Judge Cadayer would have
nothing but the figure Of black man wav-
ing plow in one hand, threshing machine
in the other and crying 'Yewreka
The discussion promised to bring forth no
fruit, when the President put stop to it by
saying
'Gem'len, at meetin' of de Committee on
Harmony, Art ar Agriculcbur', held in de
library las night, an emblem was decided
on. Il am dat of all eagle seated on de
fence between a CO. nfield an tater patch,
while his claws hold banner on which am
inscribed Hard work will bring you plen-
ty of BOTH
The question being upon the adoption of
the emblem, the roll was called and it was
adopted by a vote of ia to s. These em
blems will be manufactured here, under the
immediate supervision of the club, and fur
nished to branch lodges at cost.-Detroit

STATESMEN IN BAD HATs.-Most of the
Washington Statesmen" wear very bad
hats. Randall's is particularly bad, and
that of Gen: Logan particularly offensive. =
The former Tambles through the corridors in
an ancient plug that looks as if it had
been battered all the way from Philadelphia
and the latter in cavalry ''slouch" which
seems to give pretty good evidence of hav-
ing been used at target excursion. Brew
ster, attorney general, is the most particular
man in town about his hats. He has them
made to order in Philadelphia, and uses
about half dozen during the season. They
are built very high with buiRing crown and
broad brim, and possess the advantage of
being equally attractive, no matter which
way brushed.
Blaine generally strols along in a SLOUGH
hat, pulled well over his eyes; Chandler al
ways in derby, while the sprightly ingalls,,
OF Kansas, carries an opera hat, which he
can flop up and down to suit his convenience.
President Arthur's hats are models. They
are tall silk head coverings, nearly straight,
with broad brim and slight curve near the
crown. Mr.. Arthur has them made in New
York. William Walter Phelps notwiLh-
standing the elegant cut of his clothes, does
not pay much attention to his hats. Some
of them could be appropriately worn by the
end man at negro-minstrel shows.-NelC

How Watch Cases are Made.

1t is a fact not generally known that the
james Boss Cold HIatch Gases really con-
tain more pure gold than many sole"
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of a very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from / to 10 karats,
and a or karat case is often sold for II
or IA karats. 1t is NOT economy to buy a
watch case so poor in quality that it viii
soon lose its color, or one SO soft that it viii
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one SO thin that slight blow viii break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
Ii IS economy to buy James Boss Gold

ever occur. This watch case is not an crpcyi-

table spoke of the extreme heat, and suggested
the disturbances of postponing such a journey
till it was cooler. No, said Irving it cannot
