BLACKLEGS.

The city of Washington is full
of blacklegs and dead beats. The
citizens, before they allow these
new comers admission to their
house bold or extend 10 them
their hospltalities they should
know to whom such curtecles are
extended. Our society has been
imposed upon by a class OF just
such men. They come here and
are appointed TO government
positions and the first thing that
is said is a reflection on our girls.
We advise our young ladies to
give these black guards and black
ltgs the go by. There are some
Others who have a way of leaving
their families at home and at
tempt to pass off as single. Such
scoundrels should be reported to
the heads Of the departments,
We shall at no distant day
make an example of one of these
llbertines.

She was asked why.
Because said she, her love occu.

A few hours after this was said,
she was seen eating two deviled
crabs, two sandwiches and several
glasses of iced waters and a half
dozen bananas.
Her friends are not anxious to

There are several species of

The most dangerous dog is the

One half of the negroes that

They have no standing home and
will have less here if they don't be

NEW YORK NOTES.

At the final meeting of the Afro

Zion church on Monday the 18th
inst, it was found that there was
not funds enough in the treasury
to send the delegates elected at "a
previous meeting to the State Con-
ventiOn in Rochester, on the 22nd.
The money in hand about l6 dOl-
lars was voted 10 Rev. Alexander
Walters, president of the league
so as to assure the attendance of
one Of the ten delegates selected
to go. Several of them stated
that they would go at their own
expense. T. A. j. Clemmons is

THE LEGION OF HONOR.

The Legion of Honor, We must

become a powerful institution in

there are men who are opposed

E. Z. McCabe of Kansas can on.
ly credit his defeat 10 that light
delegation that called Oh the
President. A delegation that is
composed of thieves, libertines
and petty Office clerks and mes
sengers that have no standing at
home, should expect noting else
but q rebuke. One of the smart
asses had the audacity to say that
McCabe's defeat would effect the
