THE RECORDER OF DEEDS.

The subterfuges that have been re,
sorted to by the daily press of this
city and few white and black repub-
licans, democratic politicians, &c
that home rule is what the people
want, is amusing to say the least.
Every recorder of deeds ever ap-
pointed has more or less been a non
resident of the District. If the Dis
trict democracy had been anxious for
the appointment of District colored
man, it would have been better to
have thrown down self and supported
one.
Appointments in which the dem
ocrats of the district should have been
interested were the Judges of the
court of appeals, with but one excep
ton, they were non residents.
The BEE favors the confirmation
of Mr.. Taylor although it may be re
jected before the publication of this
Issue.
The Post and Evening Star will
have to be sent to St. Elizabeth OF
put in an ice box to cool their action
Let every negro have race pride
enough to support Taylor's confirma
ton.

A THOUGHTFUL WOMAN.

In another column of this paper
will be seen report of the Visit OF
Mrs Lucy Moten to the White
House in the interest of young col
Ored girls in the classified seIvlce
who were discharged by Mr.. Claud
M. johnson.

part OF Miss M0ten to manifest so
much iutel est IN the young coloreu
women OF her race. Sne is d

Lincoln at Gettysburg.

John G. Nicolay, who was Mr.. Lin
coins private secretary, and who ac-
companied the President when he
made his immortal spee6h at Gettys-
burg, contributes an article to the Feb
ruary Century, describing the Occa-
sion and comparing the various YER
sions of the speech. BE thus describes
its delivery:
At about II o'clock the presidential
party reached the platform. Mr.. Ever
EFT, the orator of the day, arrived fully
half an hour later. and there was still
further waiting befye the military
bodies and civic spectators could be
prop srly ranged ann stationed. It
was, therefore, fully noon before Mr..
Everett began his address, after which,
for two hours, he held the assembled
multitude in rapt attention with his
eloquent description and argument,
his polished rliction, his carefully
studied and practised delivery.
When he had concluded, and the
band had performed the usual musi-
cal interlude, President Lincoln rose
to fill the part assigned him in the pro-
gramme 1t was entirely natural for
every one to expect that this would
the mere formality of official dedica-
ton. There is every probability that
the assemblage regarded Mr. Everett
as the mouthpiece, the organ Of ex-
preston of the thought and feeling Of
the hour, and took it for granted that
Mr.. Lincoln was there as mere
official fgure-head, the eliminating
decoration, so to speak, Of the elabor-
| ately planned pageant of the day.
They were, therefore, totally unpre-
pared for what they heard, and could
not Immediately realize that his
| words, and not those of the carefully
selected orator, were to carry the con-
centrated thought of the occasion like
a trumpet-peal to farthest posterity.
The newspaper records indicate that
when Mr.. Lincoln began to speak, he
| held in his hand the manuscript first
draft Of his address which he had fin
ished only a short time before But
| it is the distinct recollection of the
| writer, who sat within few feet of
| him, that he did not read from the
| written pages, though that impression
was naturally left upon many of his
auditors. That 1t was not a mere me-
chanical reading Is, however, more
definitely confirmed by the circum-
stance that Mr.. Lincoln did not de-
| liver the address in the exact form in
which his first draft Is written. 1t

reporter for the Associated Press"

DIR. JOHN r. FRANCIS.

DIR. Johu r. Francis a native OF
this city and from one of the Oldest
and best families, made app nc ation
tor admission TO the Medical Asso-
citation and was defeated by seven
Votes only. Out of 7S votes DR..
Francis received II, the largest
vote ever received by any coiored
physician who has made appl:ca"
ton for admission to the assocla-
ton.
Dr.. Francis was supported by
every leading and the most proml-
nent ply slcia's in the Medical AS
suclation. Among his support. r
were DR.. Ford Thompson, Bussey
aud Others, who made spet ches In
h,s behalf; and among other things
said, shat it was Dot question OF
cUlur that they advocated but con
etency and qualification" They
considered Dr.. Francis among the
leadlug and most competent physl
clans III the country and the time
had come now that the association
should discard the color of mau's
skin and admit him On his merits.
The opposition to DR.. Francis
Was from few eastern and south
IN physicians who were not ac-
eualnted with him. The votes cast
tor this learned physician demon
strated the fact that D.. Francis is
ht Id IN higher est em by this socIe
ty than any colored man who has yet
C, me befure it aud he is regarutd
by the votes casted that bis ability
is recognized above every man who
has as yet made application Tor adj
mission to it. While the BEE
has critized DR.. Fraucis from an
official standpoint it has never
from a professional standpoint;
it has always considered
him the leading physician
lu this city and equal to any in
this country and the outlook fol
him TO day is that be will be, III

A RARE OCCURRENCE.

Mr. Eskenrode's Eel Catch Almost Un-
parallelled in the Annals of Fishing.
A remarkable haul of eels was made
the other day by Cosmos Eckenrode,
who was fishing along the Tulpehock-
en-. There is variety Of eels known
as the tandem eel, which is very sell
dom found in this State, though COM
mon in the West. A peculiarity Of this
variety Is that they travel, when mi
grating, single file, about six inches
apart, and maintain that distance ex-
actly during the time Of their progress.
If one Of the lot shoots ahead too rap
idly the one following Immediately
grasps him by the tail, in order to
drag him back to his proper place In
the line. They appear to have re-
markable instinct for distance, and the
variation Of an inch will cause the
rear eel to exercise his authority to
put the brakes on the one ahead.
While Mr.. Eckenrode was fishing he
hooked one Of the travellers, q very
remarkable circumstance, as th1H sell
douubite while migrating. As ssen as
be Md hooked it he, Of eourSA gave 3
haul on the line, which caused this par
lACaldA CCA W SuOol aACau+ LIZ "hn
Immediately grasped by the one fol-
lowing, and as that one likewise shot
ahead the next one did the same, so
that when Mr.. Eckenrode began to
haul out he found solid rope Of eels-
Dropping his rod and line he grasped
the living rope and began to haul in
hand over hand. He kept hauling in
and piling up the eels until he was ut
terly exhausted, when he was obliged
to stop and cut the connection. He
quickly ran for assistance, and a num-
Der of the neighbors came to help him
take care Of his rare catch. When
they were all gathered up and loaded
on wagons it was found that he had
875 pounds. About $50 worth were
sent to the Reading market, and the
rest were distributed among his neigh
bors
The news of his remarkable catch
has spread all over the upper part of
the county, and great many fisher
men have been endeavoring to repeat
it, but without success, since, accord
ing to naturalists, an occurrence of this
sort is one of the rarest in fishing

RETIREMENT OF SENATOR
B Z. BRUCE.

SENATOR B K BRUCE who bas
for tn" last fuur years held the Of
fee of Recorder of Deeds and dis.
charged the duties of said Office to
the satisfaction of all classes of our
people. has resigned and Hon. G..
81. j. Taylor of Kansas has been
nomin ted by the President as his
successor Senator BrDce is a u
Dique figure in public affairs.
While YET in the prime of life, be
has held greater number of i'm
po-tant and responsl bic public po-
sitions, and welded greater influ-
ence upon national affairs than any
other man of his race. With the
possible exception of the Hon. Fred
erick Douglass. He Is more widely
known than any other Afro-Amer-
Ican citizen.
In politics he is and has always
been consistent republican, yet
his breadth of character and geE-
tlemanly b airing have always been
such as to command the respect of
the most extreme democratic par
tisans. HIS wise and judlcious
course has done much to soften the
asperities between the two races
and TO bring them into more har-
monious and peaceful relations. In
dealing with what rs known as s'the
race problem" Mr. Btuce is more
patriot than a partisan. His in
sight and forecast is greater than
that of any man we know and be
lives and laburs not merely for self
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, but for the perma-
nent good of tue oppressed class
with which be is Identified.
Mr.. Biucrs' resignation has teen
before the President for some ume,
but it's acceptance only occurred the
other day. We feel in honor bound
TO express our thauks to President
Grover Cleveland fo" the courtesy
with which be has treated this dis
tingulshed representative OF our
pe"nle.
1--WE don't know what Mr.. Bruce
plans are for he fusure, but We un-
derstand that he will engage III the

Rivals.


I heard this spirit of rivalry very
funnily expressed some time ago Two
little girls were, on the surface, friends,
but each consumed with desire to
outdo each other, as there was really
no love lost between them. During
luncheon at school one day one waited
until all the busy tongues had stopped
second to take rest, and then re-
marked with empressment: 1--WE had
ham, with champagne sauce, for din
ner last nightp' and waited to see the
effect Of her announcement. 1t was
a success. Every child paused and
ohed and ahed, until the rival, not lik-
ing such an expression of popular SEN
timent, exclaimed scornfully: Huh!
That's nothing! We have our hams
boiled In champagne" And number
one retired ignominiously from the
field, until next time.-Boston Adver-
tiser.

MISS MOTEN'S VISIT.
SHE DID NOT CALL RELATIVE TO THE
RECORDER OF DEEDS.

1t was reported some time ago that
Miss Lucy Moten called On Mrs. Cleve-
land relative to the recorder of deeds.
She did call on the wife of the Pres
ident but it was in the interest of the
wholesale discharges of young colored
girls in the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing. Miss Moten laid the circum-
stances of these discharges before Mrs.
Cleveland with the request that she lay
it before the President.
1t is understood that Mrs. Cleveland
did speak 10 the President about it
and since that time and the BEES ex-
pose of the methods used by the chief
of that department no more discharges
have been made.

Operations Were on a Small Scale
During the Afternoon the Market
Came to a Staudstill-At the Close a
Steadier Feeling Prevailed.
New YORK, Jan. 16.-Operations at the stock
exchange were on a smaller scale to-day than on
any previous day the week, only 1l7,652 shares
changing hands. The market started off weak
under sales for London account. The decline in
prices ranged from "a to ~ per cent. There
we're q few exceptions, however, New England,
Chicago Gas, whiskey and Lead showing an ad-
vsncing tendency while the general list ran off.
New England rose ~ to 1885 on the reiteration
of the report about voting trust. Charles Parsons
who was mentio ned as trustee, claims to know
nothing about tbs matter. Chicago Gas ad
vanced u, whiskey 35, Lead /.
During the afternoon the market came to
standstill and for full an hour prices varied but
fractionally The tendency later on, however,
was downward and q number Of the prominent
issues sold at the lowest of the day. St. Paul re-
coded to 579s, the decrease Of $120,9F In the
earnings for the second week Of January having
led to fresh sales Of the shorts.
At the close a steadier feeling prevailed and
the final quotations showed rally of u to Il per
cent. from the lowest figures OF the day. Com
| pared with last nigh: the showing Is loss OF "a
| to u per cent outside of Manhattan and Lacka-
wanna which are down IN per cent. In the
+, specialties Morris and Essex declined from $50
