A RATHER TAME AFFAIR.

New York, May 28.-The business
men Of New York met at o. clock
this afternoon in the New York Life
Insurance Building to protest against
the "Populistic income tax" and de-
mand it's withdrawal from the tariff
bill. The meeting had been extern
sively advertised, and the Sun had
called on the widows and orphans
and hard working citizens with a
bank account to be present and assist
in the slaughter of the obnoxious tax
and even resorted to double leads to
emphasize the necessity for prompt
action. There was some disappOint-
meat in the attendance, for when
John Clatin called the meeting to or
der only 63 gentlemen were on hand.
The widows and orphans stayed at
home, and the WOrkingman had 9th
er engagements. Those who did al
tend the meeting seemed to lose heart
and but for the CHEEKY speeches of
the leading spirits it is probable that
the task of directing the work of
Congress by double loaded petitions
would have been abandoned.
Evan Thomas, president of the
Produce Exchange, was made perm
anent chairman, and sufficient
number of men Of prominence were
present from whom to choose the
other officers. There was not much
Of surplus, however, by the time
president Thomas got through APP
pointing committees. There was a

Our Race at the CaDitoI

y. I'll. Beadle, the well known Wash
ington correspondent, speaking of our
race at the nations capitol says:
"Among their noted men are Fred
erick Douglass. John NJ. Langston,
John r. Lynch, Robert H. Terrell.
Milton NJ. Holland and James IT.
'omith-all lawyers except the first NAM
ed. Among their eminent and learned
ministers are Francis J. Grimke, Pres
byterian; Alexander w. Crummell,
Episcopalian; Walter II. Brooks, Bap-
tist; and Rev. DR.. Jenifer, Methodist.
SOME WEALTHY NEGROES.
They also include a surprisingly long
list of wealthy men, and in looking
over the names one finds that they made
their money very much as white men
have done, though among the smaller
fortunes an unusually large number
were acquired by catering, as in restau-
rants and ice cream parIors-a much
larger proportion, think, than would
be found among white people. Fred
erick Douglass is spoken of among them
as a millionaire, though he laughingly
says that one cipher less would more
nearly represent it, and all Americans
know his career. John r. Lynch is
quite well to do and las made his mon
ey in the law.
The career of Hon. Blanche X. Bruce.
recorder of deeds and the last colored
senator of the United States, is familiar
to the public. Hon. John f. Cook. who
was long collector for the District. is
very wealthy, and also is DR.. G.. B.
Purvis, who was for 10 years chief sur
geon at the Frecdman's hospital. DR..
}. K. Francis and DR.. f. j. Shadd have
also gained wealth by the practice of
medicine. William H. Smith, who
was for many years librarian of the
house, is pointed out as the only man
III Washington who has made money
by politics pure and simple-that is,
has saved 1t from his salary. And John
II. Brooks is an equally unique exam
pie, for he has grown quite well to do
on the savings of his salary as clerk
IN the navy department and invest
ments of those savings. He still holds
his desk and still saves money out of
his salary. And these are are but few
OF the most prominent of the well to do
colored citizens of this District.

Our expected guests, the seventeen
year locusts, who will be with US this
summer, says the New York Sun, I'M
less the entomologist find some potent
means Of discouraging their proposed
arrival, will receive warmer welcome
from beast and bird than from the
human kind. In their train will come
swarns of feathered hunters who will
find in them dainty edible, and make
their lives one weary succession of
aerial twistings and turnings. King
birds, bluejays, woodpeckers, fly catch
ers and even the larger thrushes and
the smaller hawks, forsal1ing all else.

vest fly and grow fat dpop his remains.
If he grows weary in attempting to
outstrip his featbered enemies in fight,
and seeks refuge beneath a sheltering
branch, he falls prey to the vigilant
squirrel or chipmunk, who finds him
toothsome morsel. Under any tree in
the still, sunny days Of the summer
months you may find little heaps of
yellow ribbed gauze wings, testifying
to the tragedy of the cicades who es-
capped the attacks of feathered foes
only to fail victims to their furred
enemy of the rodent species.
All men, too, will hunt the unfortu.

the edible locust of Scripture. which,
garnished with wild honey, formed the
staple diet of the ancient wanderer,
but out Of a desire to destroy him lest
he destroy their fruit trees and vines.
He is himself a predatory individual.
and does great damage TO vegetation,
wherefore the farmers hold him in
abomination. But one man will there
be who will rejoice in the advent of
the seventeen-year harvest fly, and
that is the fisherman. When all other
bats fail the larvs of the seventeen

These larva are white and unpleas-
antly moist; also. they look as if they
might bite or sting or otherwise per-
form IN a harmful manner, but they
cunt. You may, by digging down at
