A SINISTER at Sedalia.

MARSHALL, Mo-, Feb. 2O.-The receipt
here of the Sedalia papers, containing an
account of the actions and conduct of the
eloquent temperance lecturer, ID. X. Shields,
in a saloon at Sedaia, last night created
quite an excitement. Shields is
Deputy G. W. C. T. of Mis-
souri,, and has been engaged here
for the past four weeks delivering temper
ance lectures. There never was such a
temperance feeling worked up here before.
Through his efforts 1.5OO persons signed the
pledge and organized a Good Templars'
Lodge with $50 members. A great many
here had no confidence in Shields, but
thought he was only working for the money
that was in it, which was SO per lecture,
and his conduct at Sedalla only strengthens
this belief

COLORED HIGH LIFE.
A Sketch of the Social Life of That Rae,
Resident in Washington.


Resident in Washington.
There is an aristocracy among the
colored people of Washington as well
as among the white, and it is quite ex-
elusive. The caste is very strictly
marked, and it is as difficult for
camel to 60 through the eye of a needle
as for member of the class donatedas
trash" to gain admission to the circle
of the equality" negroes. The focus
or pole around which the high-toned
cOlored society revolves is the Fifteenth
Presbyterian Church, which stands in
an aristOcratic section of the city-Mc-
PhersOn Square.
The Leading men in this church are
Ex-senator Bruce, DR.. Purvis, John
Langston, late Minister to Hayti, who
has recently been elected president of
a colored college in Virginia; Prof.
Greener, who is in charge of the Grant
monument fund; the Wormleys. who
are proprietors of the most aristocratic
hotel here; George Cook, the superin-
tendent of cOlOred schools; John F.
Cook, the collector of taxes of the Dis
trict, and others of the creme de Ia
creme. The pastor of this church is
Rev. Mr.. Grinke, a young man of about
thirty-five years, who was graduated at
Lincoln University with the valedictory
of his class, and studied theology at
Princeton. Fred Douglass does not
worship here, but lives in a suburban
village called Uniontown and belongs
to the Baptist denomination. Since he
married a white woman he has not
been received as cordially as before,
in the aristocratic circles of his race,
who thought he might have found a
spouse of his own color in better taste.
Congressman O'Hara, of North Caro-
lima, is member of the coterie, but,
singularly enough, he and his wife are
Catholics and attend St. Augustine's
Church.
Mrs. O'Hara is one of the loveliest
ladies in Washington and were in not
for the slight trace of negro blood in
her veins she would be the leader in
white society. Like Mrs. Bruce, who
is also beautiful, she is highly edu-
Gated and accomplished woman, speaks
French, plays Beethoven, paints
plaques and is up in art and literature
to a degree that would make some of
her white sisters blush for envy. Both
Mrs. Bruce and O'Hara are very nearly
white and it would be difficult for a
stranger to detect their relation to the
African race. Mrs. O'Hara has a
white governess for her children and
intends that they shall be as accom-
plished as herself.
These people have their own society,
give balls, dinner parties receptions
and other entertainments and pay
formal visits on regular days,
just like the ladies of official life.
At 'high tea'' or a ball given by
this circle of the colored aristocracy
one can find quite as much intelligence,
quite as much beauty and quite as
much grace of manner as will be
gathered at any of the swell receptions
of white folks. Both gentlemen and
ladies appear in full evening dress and
the costumes of the ladies are duly des-
cribed in the Sunday Bee, the organ of
the heightened colOred residents of the
Dlstrict.-PhiladeiphiG Times.

He Was n Prophet.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-PrOf. Devoe, of
HackenSack, who came to Washington to
wrestle with the weather problem. has been
thrown in the first round. The professor on
Friday week last announced the glOomiest
weather imaginable to prevail. until the 18th,
when the climax would be reached in a
heavy fall of snow. The minute the pro-
fessOr announced gloomy weather the skies
cleared, and the sun and moon took turns

his rural retreat to evolve another infaIlible
