Has it ever occurred to You how the
difference in the fneness of caliber as
between English people and Americans
might be noticed in the slang OF the
two countries3 The American slang is
always witty and seldom coarse. The
English slang is seldom witty and al
ways coarse. Witness: ''beastly, -
nasty, rot, "fluke." Iheard an in
dignant Briton-a lord-speak of those
sinking little German princes" and,
although ! sympathized with him,
was conscious of an inward shudder at
that horribly suggestive word.

The Prowess of Sir Victor.
Exchanged

An English Journal tells of the proves
of one Sir Victor Brooke. who recently
went rabbit shooting in the deer parks
at Colebrook. He had eight heaters
and two keepers, and the rabbits "were
walked up in line in fern and rushes. ;"
Sir Victor killed TAG, missing on an
average only nine out of every 100 of
the poor little creatures, who were thus
almost literally dragged up to his feet.

FOR THE EYE OF MAJOR
WALKER.

The alleged stealing of bouquets
at the High School C mmence-
ment, which really seems to have
been case of "gone astray" rath-
er than stolen flowers, gave one OF
the policeman of the fifth precinct
an opportunity to show his brutal
propensities. One Of the members
of the Winston company tells me
that a little colored boy employed
by them to run errands was cruel
ly used by policeman named
Hollenberger. The boy had re-
ceived from the employees of the
theatre three bouque'es that had
been left on the stage after the
commencement. The boy sold the
flowers for a trifle. On Monday
night last the policeman saw the
boy near the theatre and told him
that he was under arrest for steal
ing the flowers. The first impulse
Of the boy was to run away. The
policeman fired his pistol at the
the boy, but he kept on until be
reached the theatre. Into it be
flew. and never stopped until he
Was behind the scenes, where he
hoped to find friends. There was
no such good luck for him, for the
burly policeman, angry at the
chase be had made, caught the
boy and dubbed him in rever ge.
The boy cried for mercy, but he
received severe beating from the
representative of the law. The
next day the law decided that
there was no reason why he should
be arrested, and he was discharged.
[ think the policeman ougt to be
tried for an assault upon the boy,
and [ hope his parents will bring
a suit.-Exchange.
Will some reader please furnish
this office with the address of the
boys parents?-Ed.

ator Kenna's attention was called
to the fact that the Office in quest
ion is still presided over by an ac-
tive Republican partisan, Mr..

places are still in the hands of the

cratic printers employed in the

sideration whatever. Senator Ken

FREDERICK DOUGLASS.

The following chapter is taken
from deeply interesting volume
just published of "reminiscences of
Abraham Lincoln. This chapter
was given to a reporter and was
not written out by it's author and
is therefore less polished than it
otherwise would have been:
do not know more about Mr..
Lincoln than is known by count
less thousands of Americans who
have met the man. But [ am quite
willing to give my recollections of
him and the impressions made by
him upon my mind as to his char
acter.
My first interview with him was
in the summer of 1868, soon after
the Confederate States had declar
ed their purpose to treat colored
soldiers as insurgents, and their
purpose not to treat any such SOL
diers as prisoners of war subject to
exchange like other soldiers. Nv
visit to Mr.. Lincoln was in refer.
ence to this threat of the Confeder-
ate States. I was at the time en-.
gagged in raising colored troops and
| desired some assurances from
President Lincoln that such troops
should be treated as soldiers of
the United States, and when taken
prisoners, exchanged like other
soldiers; that when any of them
were hanged or enslaved the Presi.
dent should retaliate. | was intro.
duced to Mr.. Lincoln on this oc.
caslon by Senator Pomeroy, of
Kansas l met him at the Execu.
tive Mansion.
L was somewhat troubled with
the thought of meeting one so au.
gust and high in authority especi-
ally as [ had never been i'm the White
House before, and had never spok.
EN- to a President of the United
States before. But my embarress.
ment soon vanished when | met the
face OF Mr.. Lincoln. When / en-.
tered, he was seated in a low chair.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The reorganization of the trustee
board and the classification of the
pay of teachers by Mr.. Webb is a
Blessing and a benefit to the peo.
pie. No class of official have been
so arrogant, insolent, domineering
and tyrannical as some of the
trustees in our public public
schools. The advanced ideas OF
our supervising principals and
teachers have been disregalded
and ignored Ivy class of men who
have heretofore controlled our
schools. Teachers have Leen treat
ed as serfs, while these cockspar-
rows, who have had charge of our
advancement, have retarded the
progress of our public Institutions.
The people have had NJ redress
save iasolence. Favoritism has
reigned supreme among the pets,
while the deserving have been
compelled to hide I'LL der their legs
and sneak about like SO many
dumb driven cutie. Now that
Commissioner Webb has changed
the order of things, we predict
that our schools will stand as mon
uments 10 posterity.

SUBTERFUGE.

1t will be seen by the letter OF
the District Commissioners in an.
other column that Mr.. Brooks was
requested to resign. His letter in
the Star several days ago was all
subterfuge. lie stated that his
resignation had been rendered
three months ago. Does the letter
OF the Commissioners dated july
9th bear him out? Mr.. Webb saw
that it was necessary to remove
Mr.. Brooks for the good of the
scho OILS, which we have been say
ing for five years. Now if the
Commissioners will appoint a sue
cessor to DR.. Purvis, which we be-
lieve they will, the people will be
satisfied.

THE NEGROES COMPLAINT

While it is true that many dis
charges of Negro republican offic,
ials have been made. it is equally
true that many of these have
been recommended by republican
chiefs, who have been trying to
tody TO the democratic party. We
know that there are many demo-
cratic heads of bureaus who have
recommended colored men for pro.
motion. Third Auditor Williams,
is perhaps the most liberal of them
all. 1t has been said that secretary
L. mar cares nothing for a Negro,
whether he does or does not he
has certainly treated them well
since he has been secretary of the
Interior. Had Mr.. Blaine been
elected instead of Mr.. Cleveland.
we are of the opinion that more
discharges would have been made,
although enough are being made.
Is it not reasonable to presume
that the democrats are entitled to
the offices? What We contend for
is this, while the Negroes are be-
ing discharged on the recommen-
da'ion of republican heads of bu
reus let it be known, and don't
put the blame al on the democrats
We still have faith in the presi-
dent.
