who had been looking at the Rev.,
with one eye, and no doubt wait.

KNOCKED
THE NATIONAL BUFF00N QUESTION
ED. FRED. DOUGLASS, JR., STAT
Es SOME SOLID FACTS.

To the Editor of the Evening Star.
In view of the fact that there are
not more than 21S, ,4S5 negroes of
voting age, according to the CEN
sus of 1880, i'm the Northern states,
including California, the census of
which is given at 66,S09, which is
evidently incorrect, even then it is
difficult to tell upon what these
two leading colored democrats lum
inaries base their elastic conclu-
sions when they say that from 240,
900 to 100000 negroes of the North
will vote for Cleveland, and yet
there is no "stampede," but only
an ''awakening." No wonder that
these would.be leading colored de-
mocrats can find but coporaPs
guard among the colored people of
the North who are willing to be
led back into the wilderness by
such blind and inscrupulous guild
es, who care not what statepents
they make. The following is ia
BILE showing the number OF colored
people twenty-one years old aud
upward in each state named as ap-
pears in the census of 1880, which

ments made by Trotter and Taylor,

ing he paid a handsome tribute
to woman, it would have been
we'll if every male in this city
could have been present to listen
to a tribute to the noblest people
on earth, woman. He portrayed
her worth to man, to government
and trade. He spoke of her ILL.,,
treatment by men. A nobler

Miss Browns dress? I think it
was awfully horrid.
Jane-Well. Sniff, Miss Wilson,
thought, looked well. She is q
plain dresser. There is nothing
foolish about her. She is on our
order of women. Hoops, waterfalls,
&C., were used in our grandmoth-
ers days and [ think they certain
y do become Miss Wilson.
Sniff-NO, but you see, the reas.
on that | don't dress like Miss
Brown, is because my husbands
income is too small. Why, she
puts her hair up in the latest style,
and her dress is made from the
finest silk. think you are lit
tie jealous.
Jsne-No madame, not a bit OF
it. And [ want you TO to distinctly
understand that my husband is
fully able to purchase drygoods
for me. l would not dress like
these fops, with bangle curls and
flounced skirts, which remind me
of a peacock. Goodbye Mrs.
Sniffback.
Mrs. Sniffback-I am glad the
woman has gone. She worries
me almost to death | wish she
could find some other place to 90.
Moral:-Those who have not
will speak i'll of those who have.
N,ver crave tor that you cannot
get, and never abuse others who
are able to get, Life is but q
dream asd it is just what you
make it.
