ACKNOWLEDGMENT Speakers.

The marriage ceremony of Mrs. l..
Johnson to Rev. Rudolph Taylor
was celebrated at Zion A. NJ. +.
Church on the 18th, Rev. Birchmore
officiating. There was a large atten-
dance TO witness the ceremony. The
reception was held at the future
home of the couple, IL Southac
Court, where Investments We're
served TO the many friends of the
couple and the congregation of Rev.
Taylor's Church. The presents were
numerous and useful. The newly
married couple have the best wishes
of their many friends for their future
happiness and prosperity. We are
sorry to say that some of the young
people showed their lack of common
sense by very disgraceful conduct at
the close of the ceremony.
On last Sunday for the first time
the auditorium of Rush A. NJ. f..
Zion Church, was open ID the public,
though in an unfinished condition.
There were five services held during
the day. The first was a love by the
Conference at 9 a. m, conducted by
Rev. c. c. Ringold. At 1890 by
Rev. Nj. II. Franklin of Carthage, n.
c. The Sunday school at 1 p. NJ.
was addressed by J. c. Dancy. Bish-
op G. c. Petty delivered the after
noon sermon, subject Eternal Wis
DOM" The evening sermon was by
Rev. j. 4. Waters, subject "Chris-
tian Character" The services were
well attended. The choir OF twenty
five voices, under the direction OF
Miss ThibOu, rendered very select
music at each service. This edifice
was erected some three years ago, on
School street, since that time wor-
ship has been carried ON in the YES
try.
At Zion A. NJ Church, n. Russell
street, special services were held last
Sunday in honor of the NJ. T.. Confer
ence which sat in Cambridge. The
morning services were conducted by
Rev. G. A. Owens. At one O'Clock
the Sunday school was addressed by
the General s. S. superin't and Rev.

The grab for office being SO great
among the Democrats "a pri
mary nomination had to be resorted
to which of itself has resulted in any
thing else but perfect satisfaction,
particularly SO when the present Of
ficials (Democrats) are defeated in
the nomination, who in the most
part were confident of a denomination.
But the committee of forty has
shown the other side that they are
boss and they must step aside.
The set of officials nominated by
them (Democrats); are about as con-
sentative a set as ever were nominat-
ed. 1t is thought, and in fact, the

leans here as yet, seem to have az
most forgotten the rock from where
they were hewn and the pit from
whence they were dug, and still send

The Hon. George Z. Bowden will
have great deal to do to mend his
fences to get to Congress again. In
the Navy Yard as usual, 700 of 90C

WHERE TO LAY HIM.
Continued from last week.

He says also perhaps the most IA
vorable style viii be that of the 'Cam
pc Santo," like thatsat Pisa, where
the Holy Field lies light upon the
dead, and where the softened sun
shine and the tempered wind and the
hushed notes of happy birds, and the
sweet seclusion of the spacious and
graceful Gothic cloister, with its me-
MORALS of many who have been low
ed and lamented, and it's rare picto-
rial teaching Of the life to come, all
speak soothingly of hope and peace
and comfort. Such Campo San
to-" modified to meet the demands of
modern life and art. might well be
one of the browning monuments even
OF this wOndrously achieving age To
what a grand and noble consumma-
ton would it seem to lead the race in
their efforts for fitting disposition
of their dead And what honor
would it reflect upon the men who
should erect 1t and place 1t at the
command of their fellows, in due re-
gard for what both health and heart
required ~
Within, there would be, as the
unit of construction, each sepulchre
so constructed that anhydrous air
could enter, or would be made to en-
ter, and withdraw, laden with moist
ure and morbific matter, which it
would convey to aseparate structure,
where furnace would complete the
sanitary work that the anhydrous
air had begun, and return to the ex-
ternal atmosphere nothing that
would be nOxious. Each sepulchre,
In itself and it's surroundings, would
appear to provide place of repose,
and would have electrical appliances
attached to it for he.instant indica-
ton of the return of consciousness to
any who had been prematurely en-
tOmbed; and would promise and
provide the perfect and permanent
protection against intrusion or theft
that can be found on earth. In ar
rangement, these sepulchres would
have to conform TO the price paid
and the taste of the purchaser
Many would be Ike the single graves
that thickly ridge portions of our
cemeteries; many more would be
grouped together after the semblance
of a family-tomb, as, in the illustr8
ton; but in the general impression
in the surroundings and suggestions
the resemblance to the provisions O
a cemetery would go no farther
For here, there could be no burning
sun, no chilling cold, no inclemenl
storm; for the living, as they should
pay the last sad honor to the dead
or in any subsequent tribute of affec
ton, there could be no exposure, and
for the dead, there would be only the
constant semblance of the comfort
and the quiet of the best-ordered anC
most tranquil home. Thus, In pro
viding the utmost that exacting af
lection and sanitary science can re
quire, and in taxing to the utmost
the resources of art, in architecture
in sculpture, and in the use subdueC
and according hues and forms fol
appropriate decoration. these "Cam
pc Santos" TOR "Mausoleums," OF
Mansions of the Dead" will seem tC
have realized the ideal disposition O
the mortal remains of those who de
part this life.
In conclusion, it is evident that tn,
present modes of disposing of tn,

Judging from the strong speeches
made by Speaker Reed and Mr..
Clarkson at Pittsburg last week, it
looks as If the administration were
changing front and had concluded to
pay attention to the Negro problem
and in fact make it the paramount
party ISSUE Such utterances from
men close to the throne are signifi
can't and bear the impress of author
ity. In this the President is wise.
In this question of Negro education
and sacredness of the ballot, it is not
the colored mans interests alone
that are at stake. 1t is the suprem-
acy of the fundamental principles of
the American Commonwealth. To
the maintenance OF these the Govern
ment stands solemnly pledged. Let
the President pursue this course and
twill bring to their support the best
men and women of the country, mum
bers of whom place principle far
above party considerations Right
not party question and it will be
a sorry day for the Democratic or
ganization if they permit the Repub-
leans to fight this.thingout on strict
ly partisan grounds. The argu-
ment is irrefutable, their position
impregnable. 1t would please us be-
yond expression to see the Southern
Congressman quit acting a fool on
the Negro question and join hands
with the new and liberal ideas of to-
day.-Indianapolis Freeman"
