Sleighing is thing of the past. If it had
continued one week longer horse convention
would have been held as all the preliminaries
had been arranged. Old "Duck" and the

complaints.
The following laughable incident was told
your correspondent: Not long since when
the quarterly meeting of the African NJ b.
Church took place III Westminster, two official
members of colored church not many miles
from this place attended as representatives of
their church. After arriving in the city, and
when nearing certain drug store, one of the
colored brethren said, 81 must have some
BEER to which the other replied, "'dis here
is not the place for beer" However, both
went into the drug store, and the one who was
beer-thirsty advanced and asked rather hest
tatingly for two beers, please which caused
all present to laugh heartily. Then the drug
gist politely told them that they would have
to go up the street little further. Both wen
out looking very much chagrined.
A number from this section attended the
Inauguration ceremonies.

The Ellis Family entertainment.

Odd Fellows Hall was well hlled on Tues
day night, on the occasion of the entertain
ment by the Ellis Family, and all remarked
the vast improvement in the new seats and
their arrangement, and in the stage. Three
fourths of the seats were reserved, and nearly
all were occupied, while the few in the rear
were crowded. The program was varied and
pleasing, and embraced vocal and instrumental
music and rotations. AS bell ringers the
Family is more expert than the Peake or Ber
ger families, though there are not enough of
them to produce as good an effect. As bell
soloists they are unexcelled, particularly Fred
Ellis, who plays four bells in each hand.
The sleigh bell solos and duets by Misses
Romie and Fanny were the most pleasing part
of the bell-ringing, though the copophone,
steel-bar, either and xylophone music was
much enjoyed. The recitatons by Miss Fan
ny were not good, neither was the vocal mu-
sic of the Family, but taken as whole the
entertainment was very enjoyable. Little
Oracle by her whistling and singing charmed
the audience.

offer of a reward Of $40, she never heard OF
it again until after the capture OF the goods IN

The Inauguration Of Cleveland.

BY C. C. BUSH, HAMPSTEAD.
What means all this great demonstration?
What means all this display?
That causes stir in this great nation
One of the greatest nations of the day.
Why is the nation rejoicing,
With songs of loudest praise,
Until all are eyes glistening
Like dewdrops beneath the warm suns rays?
Is there monarch to be crowned?
Or has some warrior brave and bold
By conquest made himself renowned,
And thus a character did mould,
So that the nation around him might throng
His great name to give their praise,
And even offer him the throne
To which he was so anxious to be raised?
No! tbs not monarch to be crowned,
Nor warrior brave and bold,
But President, by honesty renowned,
Shall this nation to her bosom fold
One of her noblest sons she did espy,
Therefore she may forever rejoice,
Although some for others made loud their cry,
We find that Cleveland is her ultimate choice.
Twas Cleveland who assembled the ladder of fame,
Up from the lower walks of life,
Until greater and greater grew his name,
When it became mixed with political strife;
lie was abused by the opposing press
They said all against him they could possible say,
But now his opponents can have political rest,
For he was triumphant on that great day
Twas he whose progress the nation did see
Twas he her standard she chose to bear
This nation from Republican rule he'll free
And try to administer government more fair.
Although his movements may not meet every view,
For he is man with mind of his own,
He'll make clean sweep and begin anew,
And clean out the evil that has been SO lavishly
sown.
IT'S no wonder tie nation should be overjoyed.
For the Republicans have long held sway;
And some by this jubilee may be annoyed,
But they must remember Cleveland is lord of the
day.
Let the people come from far and near,
To the National Capital where they shall see
A man whom they need not fear
A man who is to govern the country of the free
In they come from east and west,
From north and south they gather,
All to be the nations guests,
Never before was there such crowd, no, never
No inauguration was ever so grand
No parade of so great length
Was ever given in honor of one chosen man
This shows that he is man of great political
strength.
The Republicans will now take leave
Ofthe numerous positions they have held,
Bnt of their departure few will grieye.
For there are Democra is who can fill them well.
May Cleveland great wisdom display,
BY calling honorable and distinguished men
To the offices thus vacated, and may
God to the nation great prosperity send.
