MAKE THEM DIG.-There is hardly
day on which able bodied colored wo-
men are not arrested and fined in the
Police Court on one charge or another.
When they are unable to pay the sums
assessed against them they are general
" sent to the work house and made tc
perform culinary and other duties. 1t
often appears that too many are in that
institution and they then are in each
others way. 1t has been suggested that
much work could be gotten out of this
class by putting them to digging up
and cultivating the idle land belong
ine to the aims house, as many of this
class sent there have as much physical
strength as the average man. This
morning three buxom females Of Afri-
can descent were in the Police Court
in case of disorderly conduct brought
on by all three claiming the affection
OF one ebony-colored individual: The
trio could have been put to work hoe
ing cabbage with profit.

UNION MIssIoN.-The opening of the
tent work of the union mission last
night was great success. There were
at least 1000 people present. The
meeting was opened by song service
by the singers from Washington, led by
Mr.. Evans, followed by prayer by Mr..
P. w. Pratt, after which Major Hilton
spoke of the mission, its aim and work,
taking for the foundation of his re-
marks the 18th chapter of Acts. His
discourse was very interesting and
seemed to entbuse the audience very
much. The crowd which was very
large and composed of many different
classes was very orderly, the good
behavior being commented upon by
many who were present. After Mr..
Hilton finished his discourse he called
upon two men to speak who had been
very hard characters, but have been
helped to responsibility by mission
work. Their talk was interesting and
thrilling. These meetings will be contin-
ued each evening during the summer
and it is the intention of the directors
to make them as interesting as possible.
The public are invited to come.
