At each end was a reception room,
one for each sex, with fountains
surrounded by an abundance of
fragrant flowers. 1t is impossible
to describe the youth and beauty
there. The pavilion, was almost
square in length and in the yard
were flying horses, seats, and tab
les, also all kinds of games and
outdoor amusements. Two huge
artificial lions rested quietly on
each side of the entrance. Pretty
little Blanche Wendell of IA sweet
summers was the lioness of the oc-
caslon, she seemed to be quite a
pet among everyone. She has be-
come very popular as an elocution-
ist and is wonder for her age. But
the merry hours did not agree with
her and she is now suffering with
severe cold.
Who could leave such a scene?
1t was grand, it was gorgeous and
the sweet strains of music had such
an enchanting effect upon the hap
py thrOng until it was near tour
O'Clock a. M, before they consented
to leave. In the earlier part of the
afternoon, the children had their
time riding horses, swinging, dane,
ing, etc.
Politics is getting lively here
now. The State convention meets
on the 9th and the Republicans are
getting in line. A new paper has
been started here as the organ of
the colored Republicans. 1t has
already received hearty support
and will be the paper ; all stallwart
cOlored Republicans are taking
hold of it.
The Washington BEE is still Gag
erly sought here, not only by Wash
ingtOn people but by the leaders
in cOlOred society and political cir
cles here. Mr.. Garner, one of the
wealthiest and most influential col
ored men in New York, extended
cordial Invitation to several New
York friends including Mrs. Mamie
Jones and her guest Mr.. c. G. Stew
art.
One of the most charming fami-
lies here is the Banks family, which
includes Mr.. and Mrs. Banks, Mrs.
Johnson, the mother of Mrs. Banks
and the interesting and pretty son
little Willie Banks of summers,
who has already shown a talent for
music. He is quite large for his
age and is the pride and pet of the
New York people.
There is a picture here which
deserves notice, called the three
orphans. 1t happened that while
seated upon the lengthy porch of
their handsome and cOmmOdlous
residence at Melrose, the miSchiev-
lous summer photographer who
always turn up in the rural district
at this season of the year, happened
to be passing. These three orphans
as they call themselves, were just
ripe for a little fun and seating
themselves IN a row, they gave the
word all ready, aud such a picture.
Miss Carter looks like she would
not move for cannon, while Miss
Il. johnson expresses plainly in her
tired look that the ramble around
the lake had terrible effect upon
her. He did not get his apparatus
to bear right upon Miss NJ. John
son, but she clearly showed the
effect the boating had upon her !;
but all three of these orphans were
the liveliest children one ever met.
Saturday they played and sang
until melrose sang. The Johnsons
are very popular here.
The New York colOred Reppbli
cans are anxiOusly looking forward
to the meeting of the conference of
colored Republicans this fall.
Miss Mamie Jones is also very
popular here and is cordially greet
ed everywhere by her numerous
friends.

Bruce, Lynch and the rest NAV
be overated men who possess little
ability and less loyalty to the race
as many of our contemporaries are
forever saying. They have never
theleSs got the big office, have
achieved greater success than those
who are ranting about the little
ness. What man attaiDs to, be
it by force of his superior talent or
by reason of circumstances, is a
better test of what is in him than
the jealous mOuthings of others
about his worth. No one was ever
a leader unless he possessed some
of the elements of leadership
AfrO-American Sentinel.
Neither Bruce or Lynch care for
the likes or dIsllkes of the barking
ours. The AfrO-American Sentinel
speaks the truth. Take every man
who has been barking at Bruce
and Lynch and sum up what they
own. tFOrtune was a growler,
what has he got? A good deal Of
brass and wind; John C. Dancy was
another growler, but, he apologiz-
ed, hence his appointment as
Collector. McCabe, of the Lang.
stOn City Herald, is a chief grow.
ler, but, what has he got? Oklaho-
ma In his mind. Take the men
whom Bruce and Lynch have as
sisted,-Durham, U. s. Counsel to
SandOmingO Alex. Clark, Minister
to Liberia; John f. Cook, Assessor
of the District; Col. James Hill,
postmaster at VIcksburg, Miss.
and hundreds of others.

Some among the cClOred race
seem to think that the way to build
up the race, is to fight against the
leaders, and they never lose An op-
portunity to do so. Oh Shame
Peoples Defender.
The success of every good man is
through opposition. DR.. Bowen, in
an address on Monday night assert
ed that he was at his best when he
met the enemy. Any good man is
so.

Mt. Gilliard, Loudon Co., Va,
August 30th, 1891.
Your correspondent arrived at
Lincoln Loudon, Co., Va, two
weeks ago. l assure you that l
was very much fatigued, but since
my stay here at the beautiful and
cosy residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuel P. Murray, 1 have greatly
improved. Mr.. and Mrs. Murray
have one daughter living with
them, her name is Miss Susie, who
is as accommodating as she is pleas,
ing. [ have had every attention
paid me, indeed, | don't know of
any place that [ would like better,
but l shall visit Atlantic City
when | leave here next week. |
have met many persons doing
we'll and seem to have everything
that healt can wish. The young
ladies are very sedate and enter
tanning. The Misses Duvall are
three very pleasing misses who
will no doubt make brilliant
young ladies if an opportunity
presents itself [ have just left
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jas. Hicks who are the owners of
194 acres Of the most arabic land
in the State. They are two happy
souls who have an abundance of
everything on their ground that
will make one happy.
Mrs. Hicks is a very entertain-
ing lady and I assure You that |
appreciated most highly the loan
of her horse and carriage to ride
to Mt. Gilliard, from which am
writing you. This is a beautiful
place. It's height Is over 5 900
feet. The scenery Is lovely and to
my surprise, on my arrival on the
mountain [ found a perfect little
village. To say that [ have en-
joyed my trip is mile way of
expressing it. [ sawpicnic grounds
where the people from the sur
rounding country go and enjoy
themselves; Oh! what a lovely
sight to behold. I could imagine
that those l left behind were |, 900
miles away. In looking down
from Mt. Gilliard you behold
nothing but the beauties of nature.
The day is quite warm but l am
up In the clouds where calm
breezea from the clouds are giving
me sweet relief and the shady
trees are shading me from the
rays of old Sol. l left the moun-
tain by a main and pleasant road
and arrived at the residence of Mr.
and Mrs. Hicks where a splendid
dinner awaited me. l arranged
MY TOILET
and then [ was prepared for din

There is no reasons why

Their end of the stable he thought she
might have rubbed it, and changed her

larger, and another COW also has raw
place on her shoulder. The peculiar dis
appearance Of the hide became a puzzle.
After watching he found that rats were
actually eating the hide off his cows.
Quite large patches, say six by eighteen
inches, had been denuded.
