The IndIgestIbIe Notes,

A Prussian army officer stationed .,
Berlin frequently had occasion to bur.
row money from an accommodating Is.
raelitish friend, who only charged three
or four per cent a month. As a general
thing the officer, Baron Won Pump. wa,
able to meet his obligations, but on the
occasion to which we allude he was 10,
able to do so.
Moses Levy was promptly on hand 10
collect the money. He called on the
Baron Won Pump in his room and pre-.
sented the note.
"Moses, have heretofore been able TO
meet my note, but l have no money to
pay this one. You will have to wait. ="
Il don't vait at ALL Ven you don't
pay dot note right away, goes and
prings dot note a shustus of der peace

Baron Won Pump quietly locked the
door and put the key in his pocket,
whereupOn MOses's legs began to wabbIe
about and his eyes to protrude with anx.
iety, for he was afraid of personal yio.

The baron produced pistol, and To-
cussed the unhappy Israelite.
"Now, Mr.. Judas Iscariot, you taka
that note of mine and eat it.
"Scheneral, I vas shoOst joking NIT

Il can take joke as well as anybody,
and now it is your turn to take choks.
Chew up that note and swallow it, o.
you are dead man" said the officer
and he pressed lightly on the trigger.
In vain did Moses protest that he didn'I
feel like eating, and that he was in no
hurry for his money.

Although Moses was in no danger Of
perishing for lack of food, he clearly per
ceived that he might prolong his life b,
the collation. to which he was so cordial,
invited. He chewed up the note, princi-
pal and interest, and craning out his
neck he managed to get it down.
Now you can go and bring suit on
that note if you feel like it. Perhaps the
clerk of the court will put you on file il
you tell him where the note is, said
Baron Won Pump.
A few days afterward the baron re
ceived some money from home, With
which he promptly paid Moses what was
due him.
"Scheneral, der next times ven YOU

friend Moses Levy, who will neVergo pacs

"All right, Moses. Next time | need

Not long afterward Baron Won Pump
needed money, and notified Moses To
bring the desired amount to his room
Having counted over the amount the
officer took sheet of paper and began 10

days.

distinction as We complained of;
that they were treated all alike,
etc. etc. etc. We were not the
least moved by any thing these
persons said; they were compelled
to take the position they did, it
was the price of their appoint
ment. We take some pride now
in referring to our position last
summer on this matter. Indeed
We are just as earnest IN our
fight against the Grand Army
coming here in '92, as we were
then.
1t is not "dead certain" to come.
1t is optional with the Grand
Commander, Gen. Palmer, and
we are quite busy informing him
of the recent occurrence, by which
insults were offered 10 some of the
leading colored men of the coun
try who are here as delegates to
the Ecumenlcal Conference.
We shall forward a copy of this
issue (of our paper to General
Palmer. We SAX him, in the
name of the loyalty of our coun-
try if be deems it proper, right
aud just fable under all the cir
cumstances to order the Grand
Army to encamp here next year,
when it is distinctly understood
plainly and untquiviocally that
those of the "dark hue of the
order, and theirs will receive To-
suits a d humiliation from the
very people who took the lead
for business purposes to have the
q. A r., encamp here? This is,
General Palmer, a serious matter,
it concerns race of peoE Ie whose
only crime is loyalty to our coun
try, and they have the right to
depend upon you, not to encamp
our Grand Army in place noted
for It's hatred Of the great princl-
pies upon which the order IS
founded, fraternity, charity and
loyalty; and they ask you not to
be party to accommodate the
principal benefits that these men
of business here will reap at the
experse of open humiliation to
the colored people of the Country,
who are to day as in the past your
faithful allies"

Discharged.

A most remarkable incident has
occurred at the City Hospital. 1t is the
custom there every afternoon at O'Clock
for one of the clerks to visit the various
wards and tell the patients who are able
to go home that they are discharged.
Several days ago the clerk entered u
ward, and, walking to the side of Henry
Juelg's cot, said: you can go out To-
day. Your name is on the discharge
list. D." Juelg, who was suffering from
heart disease. leaned upon his elbow, and
turning to DR.. Wolf, who was standing
near by. asked in an anxious tone:

THE FIREMANS PARADE.

The parade took place Thursday
afternoon, and to the surprise of
the mauy hundred people there
were only two cOlored firemen and
about the same number Of drivers
seen in line. Right here in the
city of Washington where the COL
Ored people pay taxes on over
$10.000,0000 worth of real estate
with only four or Eve colOred men
in the fire department Is a shame
and a disgrace to the country. Yet,
the cOlored people can expect
nothing else SO long as, that fire
eating Democrat, Chief Paris re-
mains at the head of the District

the District Commissioners will
see 20 it that more coIored men are
appointed, both iD the fire and DO

FRED. DOUGLASS.

The speech of Hon. Fred Doug
lass on last Tuesday evening, in
the Metropolitan Church, in reply
to his critics was, indeed, a master
argument. Old as the old man
seems to be, the logic and oratory
that be beIched forth would have
made Demosthenese tremble or
Cicero stand from under.
DIR. Douglass with all his fault is
to day the peer of Gladstone. He
has made but two mistakes in his
life that will be handed down to
posterity but Notwithstanding, the
Negro race should stand by the sage
ut Anacostia when it is wellknOwn
tact that the enemies Of the race,
and to the republic Of Haiti,
are endeavOring to traduce him.
Mr.. Douglass has stated the
truth about Haiti; and he has not
s ated all that he knows. He
should tell the whole truth con-
corning the negotiations for the
Mole st. Nicholas. There is some
thing more behind this affair and
Mr.. Douglass owes it to himself
anu his people to set himself right.
The time has not yet come for
Frederick Douglass to retire; the
latter Ot fame is broad enough for
the aplring politician to stand up
Oh and is not too high for any
who wants to climb to its topmost
rounds. Mr.. Douglass is not in
any mans way, to the contrary hs
is more loyal to his people to day
Than the crying demOgOgues who
ale anxious to retire him.
Douglass Will not be retired.

THEY CANNOT RIDE FREE.

Ing KAiIsoao Sassss'
A railroad blacklist is not a
rarity in the offices of managers
and passenger agents, but it it not
often that an outsider is honored
with a glimpse at one. "Coniden'
tial Memorandum AZ, for the ex'
elusive use of those persons to
whom it is scnt," has been recently
issued, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch. 1t is a curiosity to the
uninitiatcd. The little pamphlets
only birthmark is the date, Janu'
ary LIST, but whence it came is
mystery. The "whithergoeth" end
of the quotation is clear enough.
One-half of the little book is devo-
ted to the individual list, the other
portion deals with newspapers.
The parts are reversed, as if two
pamphlets had been tied together
to make one, and as you turn it
over you will see either the names
of blacklisted men or newspapers.
Woe betide the man or firm, so
far as getting a pass is concerned,
whose cognomen ornaments the
pamphlet. His nmae is Dennis on
every railroad in the country, uL-
less he is restored in their good
graces. The circular announces
that several papers and individuals
have made amends and are eligible
to favors.
Each page in the pamphlets has
four columns, giving respectively
the name, residence, business and
reasons why passes are refused.
1t certainly can't be pleasant for q
man to feel that his name is posted
in the main offices of all the rail-
roads in the United States, with
some biting remarks following it
as for example, ''first-class fraud"
''sold his pass" ''loaned it to
which is a minor offense,
but, nevertheless, not excused by
managers; fraud throughout"
'deadbeat of the rankest kind" (thc
editor doesn't mince words; tasks
for passes under false pretenses."
"sells non.transierable mileage"
loaned his pass, }" forged passes,"
disposed of his annual pass" mo
such paper" mo such railroad,
makes GU. a list of officers and
asks for passes for them," or a hum
dred other offenses of a similar |
character.
Clergymen arc not exempt. 1t
would certainly make q preacher
blush with shame to see his name
and residence published with such
after it as "alters and
oans one-half permits" "changed
! permit to include his wife," twill
'ully allowing his half-fare permit
% be used by another" "sells his
'educed.rate tickets to scalpers,"
ct.
The offenders against the pass
'ule live in nearly every city in
he United States. In glancing
'ver the pamphlets it would strike
