THE CURIOUS MANISTEE
FIS ii.

One of the leading restaurants had
novelty on its bill of fare last
week, it being the first time that
Manistee beef was ever placed be.
fore the Chicago public. Though
called beef, it is in fact the flesh of
fish extremely rare in these parts,
The Manistee is a fish of tie size of
a sturgeon, found only in the Man
istee River, in Florida. 1t is sight
less, but acute OF hearing, SO that
it can discern the approach of an
enemy at a distant of mile or
more and seek saftey in the reeds of
shoals along the banks. 1t Is spear
ed by the negroes, by whom it is
highly priced as food, and occa.

kets of New Orleans and Mobile.
but is seldom found in this locality.
The flesh is coarse ard much re.
sembles beef, though retaining the
fishy flavor. Scientists have new
er been able to discover the origin
of the fish, bnt incline to t he belief
that it rises from some subterra-
mean stream or lake and has in.

THE LATEST FEMININE
Dog CRAZE.

Although the fashionable world
adopts from time to time many
novel and curious kinds of pets,
the dog, as a really domestic
animal, rarely meets with a for.
midable rival. II all his breeds,
from the tiny toy terrier to the
hugh mastif, he reigns supreme
in town and country. 1t is, there
fore, matter of importance that
a new dog is about to appear in
our midst. There was great de-
mand for a fresh canine, the
rotund English pug has been
voted sleepy aud stupid; the great
settlers somewhat too exhuberant
in their sperits for everyday
companionship, so it is expected
and hoped that the stranger will
strike the happy medium | ne.
He is little, aud furry and black.
not unlike small spitz, aud be
halls from the low countries. He
has all the requisite good quail
ties, being affectionate and viva
clOus, added to which, he is an
expert rat-catcher. HIS dogship
will find his debut into our draw
ing-rooms considerable of an eIe~
vation, for his life, hitherto, has
been passed in the gloomy recess
es of narrow canal-boats.

PROF. BROWN ENDORSED,

The meeting of the citizens on
last Wednesday evening was an
evidence of their approval of the
course of the BEE in the Browne
CardCza investigation. Prof.
Browne received an almost unani-
nous endorsement for the position
he assumed in pointing out the
gross Irregularities that exist in
the High School under the princi
palship of Cardoza. a The course of
DR.. Francis was dis pproved, and
at the proper time other steps will
be taken to remedy the evils that
are so prevalent in our High
School. The BEE was endorsed
10y the people for having been in,
strumental in bringing about the
meeting A report of the meeting

CLEVELAND DEFEATED.

AS we predicted several months
ago, that the republican tickets
would be elected beyond all doubt.
Mr.. Cleveland was pretender, per
haps, made so by his party who
hadn't enough sense to discrimi-
nate between what was right and
what was wrong. The American
people had enough of white-wash
policy; they knew that the progress
and success of the country were i'm
possible under democratic rule they
knew that the constitutional rights
of the negro were ignored; that
they had no civil or political pro-
lection in the South I; that it was a
corrupt solid South against the
North; that the democratic party
entered the Electoral College with
153 votes that the North would be
compelled to hold what it had in
"a and gain more in this election to
to elect the republican ticket. A,
gain our american manufactures
our home industries would go to
nothing by this English free trade
policy. The negroes were ignored
but Notwithstanding that fact a few
demogogues deemed it expediant
to declare the democratic party
a saint and a friend of the freed
men. Mr.. Cleveland made many
mistakes; he blundered in the flag
business the removal of Sacdville,
showed the weakness of the admin.
istration, which was nothing but a
blind. Had Mr.. Cleveland, con.
Quoted his administration as he
stated in his inaugural address he
would have been commended; but
he allowed himself to be influenced
by his party leaders of the old
school he was in advance of his
party, we will admit, but he blund
cred. His professions, that he would
do more for the negroes than the re.
publicans had done, were false.
Out of the great number OF
Offices in the gift of the
administration, Mr.. Cleveland
found one colored man to fill
an Office, previously held by anoth-
er colored man; and that Office was
the recorder of deeds; he removed
Blanche K. Bruce, from the Office of
Register of the Treas, and placed
in it a fire eating democrat who saw
fit to discharge every colored man
in his Office, we did compli.
ment Mr.. Cleveland, on his inargu.
raj message; we presumed that he
would follow it to a letter, but he
soon diverted from it and the ne
groes were left to the mercy of the
Southern rebels. Innocent negroes
murdered, females, butchered,
and when senator Bruce, call
ed on Mr.. Cleveland, and request
ed him to interfer, he said that he
was powerless. The administration
has been a terror to the Southern
colored man, we did believe that
the democratic party leaders would
repent for the lost cause, but no,
the American people settled it
