American work in enameled silver presents
an interesting contrast TO Russian ware of
this sort The Russians have been doing work
OF the kind for many years, but the effect is
crude and bizarre, The whole surface glittsrs

the impression of glaze. American GnaIs-

glare or glitter. Il Tar sxossds the Russian

This Is not unusual.

THE NEW RECORDER OF
DEEDS.
WHAT THE NEW YORK MAIL AND EX-
PRESS HAS TO SAY OF HIM.
BRUCE Fur RECORDER OF DEEDS.

INV - ~ 1eAONAeDC" OG ~ OGHN0s
Ex-senator Blanche K. Bruce,
formerly Of Mississippi, but who
has resided in this city for a num~
bur Of years, will be appointed Re-
cOrder of Deeds for the District of
Columbia, to succeed James M.
Trotter; the colored man that ex-
President Cleveland imported from
Boston to succeed Frederick Doug
lass.
Mr.. Bruce is one of the best
known colored men in this country,
and, besides having represented his
State in the United States Senate,
has been Register of the Treasury,
and held other government posi-
tions. The fact that the President
is going to appoint him Recorder
of Deeds will be a great surprise
here.
Your correspondent saw Mr..
Brace this week, but of course he
is not prepa ed to talk on the mat.
ter, for it may be a few days before
the appointment is announced.
The position of Recorder of Deeds
is a most important one for the cit
izens of the District and for a num-
Der of years it has been held by a
colored man. There was a terrible
howl of indignation when Mr..
Cleveland named Trotter, and the
White House fairly swarmed with
indignant residents of the District
who protested in vain against an
outsider coming In to take almost
a purely local Office. But Mr.. Cleve-
land thought he must do something
for the cOlored Democrats and he
stuck to his man. There was big
fight in the Sanate against the con-
frmation. Witnesses came from
New England and testified against
the nominee, but the Administra-
tion bent every effort to secure the
confirmation, and finally, after a
protracted contest, Trotter man
aged to pull through, and has held
the position ever since.
EX-SENATOR BRUCE's PERSONALITY.
Ex-senator Bruce is a handsome
man, being a light colored mulatto
"a splendid specimen of man. He
weighs about two hundred pounds,
and has jolly smiling face, and
manners OF gentleman of the old
school,
Mrs Bruce is one of the most |
beautiful woman in this city. She |
was formerly school teacher in |
Cleveland, and before her marriage |
her family mingled freely in white !
society, for no one ever thought |
there was colored blood In her
veins. They have beautiful boy
named Roscoe Conkling Bruce, be-
cause the ex-senator never forgot |
one act of the New Yorker. When
Mr.. Bruce'S credentials were pre-.
sented in the Senate, his democrat.
ic colleague from Mississippi re.
fused to escort him to the front of
the Vice-President's desk to take
the oath Of Office. For a moment
the colored man stood embarrassed
on the Senate threshold. Then
Roscoe Conkling at once grssped
the situation, and rising and ad-
vancing, offered his arm to the new
Senator and escorted him down the
aisle to the front row and stood by
his side while he was sworn in.
Ex-senator Bruce has always
been popular here; in fact, he is
one of the popular men of the Cap
itol, despite his color. He is res.
ident of the District, and the objec-
ton to Trotter is thus obviated.
He has long been one of the leaders |
The Washington bee., 1889-11-30

Of the colored race, and his ap-
pointment to so prominent a place
cannot help but please the colored
people, for Mr.. Bruce is a man of
education, ability and national rep.
utatiOn. The place of Recorder of
Deeds pays between $4,000 and
SIS, 200 per annum.

DEPARTED AND GONE To HER GOD.
tBy Henry L. Hyman.)

Farewell sweet flower yeu have
taken your fight,
10 the beautiful land of the dead:
LII heaven with angels where thou
hast been borne,
A crown is awaiting thy head.
O, who could have thought she
would leave US so soon,
And fly with the Angels of love !;
To lands where we can never see
her again,
Until in the heavens above.
Sweet spirits have borne her from
earth up to heaven,
just in her happiest hours;
And sadly we gaze on her motion.
less form,
All shrouded with natures sweet
flowers.
For all of US loved her-so kind
and so true,
So useful the paths which she
trod;
But now in death she is mortal
and still,
Departed and gone to her God.
Sweet spirit immortal in memory
most dear,
We cherish the thought of you
still;
And we hope some day to meet
you in heaven,
For we are resigned to Gods will.
