consisting of Co. L, Mass. V.
M. The Robert g. Shaw Veteran
Guards, the Washington Cadet
Corps and Band, and the Cam
bridge Guard of Hartford, Conn,
were reviewed by the Mayor and
City Patterson to the State House
where Lieut.. Gov. Bracket with
his military staff received them.
A reception was rendered them at
Paine Memorial Hall where they
were entertained by Boston's
rarest and tairest damsels until 2
a. m. tripping the fantastic toe.
Saturday by invitation remained
in the city, and the afternoon we
had a splendid sail down the hars
Dor in company with Maj. Hart
and the Council Committee, and
were met by the brass band of the
Institution at Deer Island. Maj.
Hart was introduced and delivered
an address of welcome to the Ca
det to Boston to which Major
Fleetwood responded. A bounte-
full repast was spread and the boys
did full Justice to the occasion.
Strolling over the Island was in
dulged IN until their time of leave.
After returning to Boston, the
Band went out and serenaded Mr..
Harris, Mr.. Chappelle, Captain
Brady, Mr., John Smith and 9TH
ers. Sunday was a free day until
evening, when the commands
marched to the Charles Street
Church, and heard a sermon from
Rt. Rev. Bishop Turner. Monday
the Plymouth Rock Pants Co.
took charge of the boys through
their agent, Capt. Worthington,
and conducted them through their
immense establishment. When
about to depart theyjoined a line
of twenty of the prettiest girls Of
the establishment drawn up await

forward and pinned a badge upon
each stalwart breast amid many
bushes and much confusion. They
visited the Bonton "Globe" office
and were conducted through the
entire building. On retiring they
were lavishly entertained by the
Plymouth Rock Co. at the armory
OF the Howard Rifles.
Finally they boarded for home, arriving
at the Baltimore and Potomac Station at
S:45 p. m the boys found the 9Th Battal-

1t was very happy party that
was pulled out of the b Up depot
on the morning of the 18th of
September, and as the mighty en-
gine bumped herself at the rate of
a mile in 80 seconds every face

anticipations of the programme

with thirty rifles, and the Nation

up the military, armed, equipped
in heavy marching order, and
with one days rations in haver-
sacks. The honary members were
in part Drs. F. J Shadd and j. G.
Norwood, Messrs. David Warner,
r. W. Tompkins, John Fl. Small
wood, Arthur Page, james F.
jackson, D. S. Brandon and 9th
ers, besides other gentlemen and
ladies of both races. A speedy
run to Jersey City put them all
aboard the ''Pilgrim;" with about
two hours to spare, which was
utilized in short trips to Broad
way and vicinity. In due time the
mighty steamer swung out into
the river and headed gaily for
Fall River. The trip down the
sound was delightful. The officers
in their sta,e-rooms and the men
to their excellent quarters were
settled, and then commenced
roaming about over and around
the floating palace. The officers
of the boat extended an invitation
to the Band to play for an hour
alternating with their orchestra.
The boys came up smiling and at
the close of their first piece reciev-
ed perfect storm of applause, and
every piece played had to be re-
peated. A, hearty supper, quiet
smoke and chat, and asound sleep
brought US to Fall River, where
the "Old Colony" road speedily
carried US to our ultimate destina-
tlon, the Hub of the Universe,
Boston. Mass. 1t is a great town,
and great are its people. The
storm that for days had been CIV

sun, a committee of the common

were on hand to give US a good
time.

EX-REGISTER BRUCE'S RE-
TURN.

There ls no man IN this coun"
try more in keeping with the times
and who is more bonored and
respected than Ex>Register B. K
Bruce. As g. Representative OF
his people, as a leader in the ad-
vanced ideas of government, Mr..
Bruce is that man.
When he went to the State Con-
vention in Mississippi, he did not
90 with a view of participating in
it's proceedings, but to advise and
direct its course, to the end that
no mistake should, be made at this
period. On his arriving at Jack
son, Miss, be found to his sur
prise, that he had been elected a
delegate from four different coun-
ties, neither of which knew Of the
contemplated action of the other.
On the assembling of the con
vention be was unanimously
elected both temporary and per-
manent chairman. This is an
evidence of the highest order of
leadership thus far exhibited
among our people, and is credita-
bic alike to the Ex-senator and to
the constituency which he has
faithfully represented In
the United States Senate
for four years, and whose
interest be has watched with jeal-
GUS eye, through all the vicissltudes
that have occurred to this day.
1t is q complete reply to the
slanderers of our people
who assert that they are
incapable of the appreciation
of an honarable and upright repre-
sentative of their interest. 1t is
an encouragement to our younger
men, in that it shows that faIth-
full and unselfish services rendered
10 our people will not be forgotten
by them. Mr.. Bruce's speech on
taking the chair was eqpal TO
the occasion. He graphically
skstched the bis:az ,sssT TST55i = S5F5
can psnel,L---sStot,y OF the repuO-
-zsss.-.zEegfty of the State and urged
the Convention to nominate men
who were abreast of the advanced
thought of the times-men who
would not only command the con-
fidence of their own party but
challenge the respect of the oppo-
sitiOn as we'll.
Referring to national politics
he logical y and eloquently said
that the "old ship of State" after
turning hither and yon on un-
known tempestuous seas for four
wears was once more safe in the
hsrbor; that She was now under
the command of that experienced
Captain Benjamin Harrison.
Harrison he said, was not the
President of a section but of the
whole country; not President OF a
party even, but of the entire ma
ton"
The speech from which we have
on,y taken a few extracts was en-
Enthusiastically received by the con-
vention. The whole Negro race
will wait patiently and anxiously
to see what disposition PreideDt
Harrison will make of this great
Negro representative. Ex-Regis-
ter Bruce is friend of the young
men, be is one of the few who is
anxious to see young men recog-
nized and placed in responsible
positions and in him the young
men have friend.

Pun .Silmrnt in Turkey.

I witnessed this punishment in front
of the Pasha's palace at Damascus.
The culprit was lying full length on
the ground, with Il brawny Turkish
soldier sitting cross legged on his
chest like nightmare, by way of
making him comfortable, while two
men held up the soles of his feet in the
air and two others belabored them
with long sticks, as if beating a carpet.
The victim himself never uttered a
sound, but the two who were thrash
ing him howled and screamed like
demons, perhaps to save him the trou-
BILE of doing it himself.
The moment the punishment was
over up jumped the two other men and
logged the lloggers themselves, doubt
less for not hitting hard enough, and
then fat Turkish major, who had
been watching the whole business
with smile of quiet, heartfelt enjoy
ment, walked placidly up and boxed
their ears all around, as if he were
giving them his blessing, after which
the congregation DISPERSED CoSmO-
pOlitan.

A MODEL $4,000 HOUSE.
FIRST FLOOR

1t may be truly said that the owner
who builds house of good design con-
fers a substantial benefit upon the COM
munity in which he lives as well as
upon himself.
Such house shines like star, light
ing up the whole neighborhood, insplr"
ing confidence, stimulating industries,
often showing the way to prosperity.
Particularly does the light shin ing from
a new house disclose eligible building
sites that were never dreamed of be-
fore.
The practical suggestion is that the
owner should be the holder Of property
in the immediate neighborho0d, other
than that on which he builds. The va
cant lots on both sides OF. and across the
way, from the lot on which he builds,
NAV be doubled or trebled in value by
his enterprise. The increased value of
lots adjoining an improvement often
more than equals the cost of the i'm
prOvement.
BY all fair means try to keep the in
creased values out of the hands of un-
enterprising people who never make i'm
provements. They are the least de-
serving of any members of commun-
itv. As land and lot-holders, if their
numbers are considerable, they retard
the growth of town or city more than
all other adverse influences put to-
gether.

scrintion of the residence design Illus

The new translucent substance in
tended as a substitute for glass has
been satisfactorily adopted III some of
the public buildings of London, and
various advantages are claimed for it,
among these being such degree of
pliancy that it may be bent backward
and forward like leather and be sub
iccted to very considerable tensile
strain with impunity; il il also almost
as transparent as glass and of pleas
ant amber color, varying in shade from
very light golden to pale brown. The

igol wire, with warp and weft threads
about onc-twelfth inch apart, this
being inclosed like fly in amber, in
a sheet of translucent varnish, of
which the base i linseed oil. There
is no resin or gum in the varnish, and
once having become dry it is capable
of standing heat and damp without
undergoing any change, neither hard
cning nor becoming sticky. Briefly,
the manufacture is accomplished by
dipping the sheets cdgewise into deep
tanks of varni9h, and then allowing
the coating which they thus receive to

somewhat more than a dozen of these
dips to bring these sheets to the re-
quircd degree of thickness, and, when
thif has been accomplished, the ma
