CINc1NNATI, O., Nov. 3O.-The session
OF the Afro.Ameriean League did not
begin to-day till the dusk OF the even
ing. It's sole business was hearing the
report OF the committee on emigration.
That report was very long. 1t recited
the ills OF the ,Afro.American and IA
vored emigration to Africa as the most
certain and feasible mode Of escape
from these ills.
The report and the discussion of it
did not employ the term "colored man."
The word NEGRO" or "Afro-American," !"
was exclusively used. Strange to say
that while the report Of the committee
was unanimous in favor of the emigra-
ton plan. Bishop Turner was the only
one who favored it in the discussion.
He said he knew that the 1000, 900
negres in tho United States were anx-
ious to smigrate to Africa, and that he
could, on short notice, dll 500 ships
with them.

Stepping Shoulders.

Apropos of round shoulders, decided the other day as sat in 8 great public gathering, drawn from all parts of the land, that what we need most is not more currency, or less taxes, or new banking system, but law to enforce sitting mp straight. Take 100 Americans -men and women, and you could not find enough good shoulders among them to make. up table at whist. This defect of car riage used to be thought peculiar to the rural districts. It is not so. City peo- pie show it less, but this is due to the cunning of their tailors, and not to any virtue of their own.
 I am opposed to meddlesome legisla- tion, but should welcome the appoint ment of officials who would go about and compel the populace to sit and stand erect, as the old worthies of the Puritan meeting house compelled the congrega- tion to keep awake. If such statute were enacted, in two generations we would not know ourselves-or rather our descenaants-so great would be the improvement in health, physique and dignity.-Kate Fields Washington.

ca-amsls and constancx.

In one of the large confectionery stores on Chestnut street the girls who have been there long time know most of the engaged couples in town, and can tell how long the sweet entanglement has been pending. They also are pretty well posted as to what engagements are broken. The reason is that one of the things the engaged young man is sup posed to do is to keep his fancee sup piled with candy. Usually when a young man lets up on his supply of candy it is sign either of a misunder- standing or that the wedding day is near at hand, for, strange to say, with the approach of the nuptial date the bride groom elect generally gets economical in sweetmeats, possibly because he is saving up for the bridal bouquet Philadelphia Times.

The people of New London are very anxious that the Catholic summer school shall be permanently located there. Last summer there were about 500 people in attendance from all parts of the country. Several prominent Catholics at an in- formal meeting a few days ago took steps towards erecting building for the sum- mer school. A subscription paper was circulated, and in less than two hours $5,0OO were subscribed, of which $1 ,O0O was given by ex-Governor Wall@. It is well known that Cleveland, Toronto and other cities are anxious to secure the school.

 GEN, BENJ. F. BUTLER, of Massaehu- setts, ex-governor, x-congressman, a gen. eral of the Mexican war and.of the rebel- lion, died at Washington about 1.30 a. m. yesterday, after a very brief illness. He was an able lawyer, and leaves large estate, resulting from profitable practice and judicious investments.
 THE re-nomination of Gen. Hawley for a third term in the U. s. senate is in ac- cord with the wishes, we feel sure, of a great majority of the republicans of the state is also a deed that will commend the approval of the best people of the country, of all parties. Intense interest has been felt in the..matter outside of the state, where the value of Gen. Hawley's past services to the country as a legislator is so well appreciated.

Washington News: ''The suggestion of Patent Commissioner Simonds for United States senator from Connecticut is one that will be apt to find favor with many, in case the scramble between the packers of General Hawley on the one side and of Governor Bulkeley on the other should appear incapable of satisfac- tory settlement. Patent Commissioner Simonds has shown great executive abil- ity in his present position, and he showed the possession of fine legal training, and thorough understanding of public quest ions when he was in congress. Hewould be the sort of senator who would attend closely to his duties to his state and her people without forgetting the broader questions which ought to occupy the thought of a patriotic member of the na- tonal senate. MT. Simonds has been so marked a success as commissioner of pa- tents that it is to be regretted that he caE- not remain in that position. The neces- sities of politics, however, will soon turn the patent offiee..over to democratic con- missioner, and Connecticut will have an opportunity to avail herself of the services of MT. Simonds as 8 member of congress. He would be welcomed in Washington, and would have strong influence with his associates of both parties

 On Tuesday, Jan. Sd, ,.we inaugu- rate Special Sale of Dry Goods that will command attention all over Western New England. For several months past we have been searching for Dry Goods wherever an .op- portunity presented itself in the way of break in prices. While we do not welcome such state of affairs yet malQfac ctNrers will make too many goods; partners will disagree some of them die stocks have got to be soid cash got to be raised These and other circumstances give us the priv. fege to offer to an appreciative public the best values we've ever known of in Dry Goods.
 Also great January Sale of Ladies' Muslin Underwear. This branch of our business requires but little comment. Con- mencing last April we made contracts for this class of goods with prominent manufacturers on the most advantageous terms, the result being an aggregation of goods and low prices that will play an important part in this great sale.

A wrinkle in suits and a suit in wrinkles are two different things. 7.
 Look out for one but keep clear of the other. You. know how quickly some suits will wrinkle. They look first rate for week or two 1Td then the creases begin to appear. 0fcourse they were never starched, but they soon look as though they had been and as though all the stareh had been taken out of them.

THE "Jane Carpenter" ballot, men, toned in connection with the Keeney- Pinney election contest as cast in Union, is claimed by George D. Colburn of that town as cast by him, the name written upon it, however, being ''James," !" and the person in mind the well known hardware dealer of Stafford Springs. The ballot was claimed as ground of contest as being a marked ballot and therefore illegal. GA straight democratic ballot, with the paster for Keeney put over Pinney's name. Who- ever bought this mans vote for Keeney wanted to be certain that the goods were delivered. Therefore the ballot was mark ed for Identification by scratching out the name of MT. Staub for comptroller, and writing over it Jane Carpenter" On the contrary, it was republican ballot, cast by man who don't need to give as- surances as to what ticket he votes. He didn't like Mir. Clark, the republican nom- inee for comptroller, and wrote that of Mr. Carpenter over it. It will be hard, under the law, to invalidate that ballot. .z
