One reason why women are so gener-

girls they learn nothing about their own

How to Clean old Book Plates.

To restore old book plates that have
been injured by age and damp proceed
as follows: Place upon fiat surface a
sheet of white paper, somewhat larger
than the print to be cleaned. Carefully
dampen the print on both sides with a
soft, wet sponge, and then saturate it
with mixture of chloride of lime and
oxalic acid dissolved in about equal pro-
portions III pint of cold water You
can tell when the mixture is right by
its turning magenta color Continue TO
apply it until every stain or spot has
disappeared, and then with a clean
sponge wash the print freely with cold
water. Art American.

A Chinese Custom.

A quaint custom practiced by Chinese
mothers when child is restless and
does not sleep is to write the following
verse and pin copy Of it on each of the
four corners Of the house that the pass
ersby may read and the child find rest.
Literally translated the verse reads:
Brilliant sparkling heaven,
Brilliant sparkling earth,
In my house there is a child who cries at night.
The gentlemen coming from the four quarters
behold
Peaceful sleep till break of day.

The Shakers had their peculiar desig-
nation given to them in derision. Dur
ing the religious excitements which
were encouraged by their form of wor-
ship, members of this sect often fell in
to convulsive tremblings, sometimes
ending in partial or total unconscious
ness, and this singular phenomenon gave
a name to the sect.

The sudden death of Hon. Fred
erick Douglass is, no doubt, a shock
to the entire country. 1t was just
last Sabbath morning when he at
tended tue services at the Fifteenth
Street Presbyterian Church.
Apparently he was in the best of
health and spirits.
AS a Negro he was one of the
representatives, and a man of pecu.
liar temperament. Mr.. Douglass
was bold as we'll as vindictive. FIe
disliked an enemy and was kind to
his friends.
Pannln wonld often tale his wins
dictiveness for petty jealousy.
Like other public men, be had his
faults, and woald often do things
that would appear small in the eyes
of the people.
The BEE never regarded Mr..
Douglass as a leader, but a repre-
sentative colored man.
That he has been of service to his
race no one will deny, and bene-
factor to some who have proven
their ingratitude to him.
He was an eloquent speaker, and
was, no doubt, one of the most dis
tinguished Americans of the present
time,

Mr.. M. B. McGee, editor of the
Kentucky Blade, is now in the real
estate business, doing we'll. Be
married one of the prettiest anei
most &C omp|ished ladies in the
South.
There are some great people as
we'll as children who ought to remain
in the primer. The moment some
people have an Idea that they know
it all, that nom NJ they butt theli
brains out.
The Kansas porpolse is not doin g
so much talking and Dragging as he
did when he wanted to compromise
bis case. He brought sai1 and
was the first to cry out: Hold

The Indianapolis World must be
a little jealous of Lawyer Manning.
Ii Manning had been training with
any one but the Kansas porpoi>e he
would, DO doubt, have landed.
G. H. j Taylor has promised all
the discharged employees from his
Office that he intends to renstate
them after the trial.
One lady has made an affidavit
under the promise that she will be
reinstated. Hope on, hope on.
When these poor delu led females
are reinstated the BEE will eat cold
hash instead OF honey.
Toe gentleman in the recor lei S
office who was present at the con-
ference of the porpoise should have
given better advice. Two can play
at that game, Henry.
The lady in the Indian Bureau
had better attend to her own affairs
before she is called on to explain.
Honest witnesses cannot be bribed.
- Col. VIM. B. webb, ex-District
Commissioner, is one Of the best
friends the Negro has.
He is man wh" believes that a
man cannot be dishonest.

they want suffrage in this city.

OUR LIBEL SUIT.''

There is no doubt but that the
libel suit instituted by @. III. j. Tay.
lor against the editor of the BEE
will be tried in Judge Coles court
next week,
Iu is remarkable TO see the char
acter of the agents that have been
employed to induce our witnesses
not to testify.
1t has all been without success,
however, as they believe in good
government and purity In public
officials. The brags that have been
made 10y this man Taylor aud his
toastlng methods TO lead persons to
believe that he is the injured inno-
cence will all be developed at the
trial.
His article in the Post, said to
have been written by Fred. Doug
lass, whom Tay lor says would testify
to his good moral character, are but
a few of the recent developments.
The BEE has often heard of men
talking through their hats, but it
has never seen it demonstrated.
No doubt Taylor's suit against
the BEE will show this.

OUR GOVERN MENT.

The people of this city want to
control their own affairs.
They are being taxed by Congress
without their consent, and regula-
tions passed by the District Com
missioners contrary to reason and
Inconsistent with custom.
What the people want is the elec
tive franchise. Washington is the
dumping-ground for every played
out politician.
The people who pay taxes to main
tain the government are not allowed
to say who shall control their af-
fairs. What this city needs is
good government and people TO fill
the offices who have honor and in
tegrlty.
There was a time in this city when
the honor and virtue of our school
teachers stood in danger by having
corrupt men on the school board OF
trustees.
We want honest. men in Office,
and such men who are above sus-
plclOn.

HERE AND THERE.

While a man is thinking how thing
ought TO be done woman will do it.
Always let your acts surpass your
promises and talk.
We should not Judge other peoples
faults by our own.
The Negro, in spite of all that might
be said OF him, is making progress. His
mark will be made at Atlanta EXposi-
ton next fall.
Don't expect your husband to remain
your sweetheart and pay you the hun
dred little attentions that make married
life sunshine, except you look your
best and wear your sweetest smile when
he returns from business.

LAWYER MOSS.

Lawyer Johu A. Moss, one of the
progressive lawyers before the Dis
trict bar, in the police court last
Wednesday morning called the at
tentlon of bis honor to a case that
he had IN which Col. W. z. Wood
was interested. Just as the court
opened Mr.. Moss said that man
by the name of Wood had inter-
fered with one of his clients. He is
a man not a member of the bar and
one who has no business in this
court. Lawyer Moss wanted to
know from the court what right had
Colonel Wood to say to him that
be would give him five dollars for
defending his client when he was
sent for.
Judge Kimball said that he had
nothing to do with what he charged
client. All that he knew was Col
onel Wood came to him and said
that Lawyer Moss represents an old
friend of his, and if he cannot get
bond for her be would like to 60 on
her bond himself, as be was an old
friend of the family.
Lawyer Moss is one of the most
active members of the District bar,
and a young man who has the re :
spect and confidence of the court.
He is alway earnest in defending
his clients aud uDtirlng In bis efforts
to clear them.

Injunction Restraining Its Collection

Washington, Feb. 1S.--Chief Justice
Alvey has handed down an opinion in
the Court Of Appeals Of the District
ooncurring in the decision of Justice
Hagner, in relation to petition for an
injunction asked for by John G. Moore,
Of New York, to restrain Joseph S.
Miller. Commissioner of Internal Rev.
enue, from any collection of the in
come tax. Justice Hagner refused to
grant the petition a short time ago in
Equity Court No. 2, and an appeal was
at once taken to the higher court. The
attorneys for the plaintiff have also
filed a petition for. an appeal to the
Supreme Court Of the United States,
which has been allowed. Chief Justice
Alvey declares that there appears to
be no good ground or cause shown for
an injunction to restrain the Commis-
sioner Of Internal Revenue from pro-
ceeding with the work of his bureau
in regard to the assessments and col
lectonS Of the income tax.
