Smith,- better .known as "Policy Bill Smith," by our colored population, -who built a magnificent "Wigwam and presented it to the GarEeld and Arthur club of the 20th Ward, gjive a grand supper last Thursday evoking to the colored voters of the ward and tVieir friends. Very promptly the guests bf gun to arrive, and such a feast of good tilings met their sight, that like Hancock, they smiled at the back of their heads. Two long tables extended the entire length of the wigwam with plates for over 300 guests. Here were stands of oranges, grapes, and apples, there, dishes of candies and nuts surrounded by a plenty of the more substantial and hunger-assasina-tor such as sandwiches, turkey, chicken, bread, crackers, cake and beef tongue. Ice cream and lemonade' were passed round liberally and oysters equally so, by the dish, pint, quart, and finally barrel. About fourteen roast pigs graced the -.tables, having the names of Garfield, Arthur, Conkling. Ingersol1, Foster and Smith in icings traced on their backs. By 9 o'clock all the seats were filled, and as they set-to with a hearty good will to destroy what was before the n, the sight was grand and imposing the c eEtruction well it was fearful. The occa sion was memorable because of the great number of leadins lie publicans and even Democrats who graced the supper with their presence, as lookers on not eaters of course, the line must be drawn somewhere. Among those present we noticed Hon. Ben. Butterworth, Mayor Jacob, Auditor Cappeller, Judge Moses' "Wilson, Drausin Mul sin, Tresident of Lincoln Club, Hon. C W. Moulton, Amo3 Smith and a host of others. Manv of the white men brought their wive? and daughter to witness the jamboree and to say that they were well pleased, is but half the story. Tho following leading and and popular colored men were present and helped in the devastation: Col. Hobt. Harlan, Samuel Lewis, Esq, Hobt. Fortson, Kobt. Iroy, Thomas Monroe, George Chumley, Elias Flowers, and the three celebrated H. Forte, Fred Anderson and Freemont Anderson. Later in the evening the Hon. C. W. Bell, George H. Jackson, Esq., and Thomas Tripplet, Esq., came In and enjoyed themselves with the sight and delicacies. During the feast Dave Hamilton's ba'nd discoursed sweet music. When all were done eating, Col. Harlan was introduced by .Mr. Smith, and made a very neat and eloquent little speech full of happy hits and finishing with a few wordä of tally to the ladies present. "When he finished the tables were cleared away, and all went in to have a jolly time, and the dancing continued until 3 next morning. All in all it was indeed a pleasant closing to the late fierce and ran corous campaign. All pronounce "1 oliey Bill 'a whole brick house.

EVANSVILLE DEFABTMENT. To the Editor of the Leader: While it is true I have not been a regular subscriber, I have nevertheless, teen a regular reader of your par excellent paper, and think such a paper ought to receive the support of every lover of progress in the State. Now, that I can no longer obtain the Leader through agencies, I forward my subscription at once. Hoping the Leader may live long to do good at our Hoosier CaDital, I subscribe myself. Yours, for the elevation of our race. Nov. 0. W. S. Lank ford. The reason why the Leader can not be obtained through agencies at Evansville, is the fact that the persons who have recently been acting as our agents there, have proven to be a crooked crowd all around. After getting themselves largely indebted to us, they have suddenly ceased .to" communicate with us. We have been patiently endeavoring for several weeks to obtain a settlement with them, but they have so far maintained a masterly silence. We assure them that if they expect to settle their debts with us in this manner, we will acquaint the reading world, through our columns, of the kind of stuff they are made of. We do not want to do this, but perhaps after all, it will be an act of kindness to these young William Tweeds. In the meantime we again, publicly this time as we find that private expostulations havene effect call upon them to make satisfactory settlement with us. Ed. Leader. WKAK4VS tUl.i: LANCE. "Hack Still Hacking: Literary Societies. Columbus, O., November, 10, 1880. Hack is still hacking. His last letter proves to our mind that he had nothing to say. He says "Wraign is blind, deaf, dumb, and insane,"' and then valiantly attacks us. Yes, the noble and brave fellow actually attacks, with the vengeance of a woman with a oroomstick, a person whom he says to be afflicted with the sum total of human infirmities. Then he assevts that the colored peeplo of Ohio can not conduct an association. It is false. It is a vile slander on the profession and race. Such gentlemen as Professors Clark, Bell, Parham, andEaston, of your own city, can organize and conduct an association. Not to admit Professors Blackburn, Day, Brown of Troy, Alitchell of Springfield, President Lee and all the Professors of Wilberforce. Then there is the host of earnest, intelligent, lady pedagogues throughout the State. Such can conduct an association. Does Hack say nay? Then ''Hack" says a "donkey" killed a lioness. We suppose he neant himself by saying donkey, but was too modest to say so. Let him 'Hackv off his protruding ears, and if he desires to discuss in an honest way the merits of a colored teachers' association, "Wraign'" will meet him halt way. What say you, Hack? We would like to see more literary societies among our people. There is no source more productive of permanent, broadening improvement than a well-conducted literary society. In the past u colored literary society has been a thing almost despised by many people. But when we remember that many prominent characters American history date their public success from the time they maintained the supremacy in the debating club of the country. A properly conducted society brings together those of a diversity of talent. The superior minds naturally come to the surface, and yet with a spirit of charitable generosity prevailinpyjven those of mediocre talent will be encouraged to develop dormant powers that may in time outstrip precocious and mature genius. In many literary societies too much time is consumed in parliamentary tactics and business. We believo that one province of tho society is an opportunity to learning parlimentary practice, but that must not become the supreme andovershadowing object. A good line of work is debates, essays, off-hand talk conversation, a discussion of authors, and anything that combines pleasure and improvement. Let a colored literary society be organized in every city and town. Wraign. The Christian code, says the London Times, utterly ignores all diversity of interests, and declares man and wife to be one. It compels the bridegroom to endow the bride with all his worldly goods.but assumes that the like declaration is needless on her part, as. once married, she no longer pos sesses separately any goods to endow with. It is true that, as a fact, in all ages under certain circumstances the wife has frequently held an independent position. Queens Consort have frequently held sovereignties in their own right, had revenues, armies, cabinets and courts apart from their husbands, and even taken different sides on the great questions of the day. The old English feeling is adverse to any separation and conse quent diversity of interest between husband and wife. The feeling, however, has long since given way to necessity that is, to the strong hand of wealth, rank and power. In a state of society like ours women have great liberty of choice. They can bestow their smiles as they please, subject their admirers to a sort of competitive examination, change their minds if they please, and finish by rejecting a dozen, wise, good, and well-to-do men for a spendthrift, a profligate, or a fool, certain to break their hearts and their fortunes. Society, generally represented by the family, interferes to protect them from all the consequences of their folly by settlements, and provision for themselves and their children when the last penny within reach of the husband is gone, and, perhaps, he too.

At the Twilight Hoar. Into my arms when the twilight U filling, Climbs my wee darling with droway blue eyes; Into my irmi as the robin are calling Uomeward their mates, 'neatb the darkening ikies. "Slog; to me, mamma," the sweet lips are pleading, While round me closely the dear arms entwine Ah! can 1 listen with ears all unheeding, Watchiog the love-light in baby eyes shine? No! So I fold her still closer and nearer, Pillowing the small goldeu head on my breast; Singing the song that is sweeter and dearer Both to my heart and the darling at rest: "Hash, my child, lie still and slumber; Holy angels guard thy bed; Heavenly blessing without number Gently fall upon thy head." Low and yet lower the white lid are drooping, Shutting the love-light within the blue eyes; Angels of slumber and glad dreams come trooping Downward so softly from tHnmberland'i ikies. Tet in my arms still she lieth; it may be That I am jealous of pillow and bed, Since I am happiest, oh! my fair baby, When on my heart iiei your dear golden head, Mary D. Brine in the Indedendent .

A SCENE IN THE BOIS. Beauty, Luxury and Wickedness In the Great Parisian Park, The costumes that are worn on the Bois de Boulogne are something simply gorgeous. One can imagine them blazing under the chandeliers of a ball room, but in the broad sunlight with no other background than carriage robes, the effect is startling. Red velvet dresses, flounced white lace and hats of velvet, with floating plumes, are not uncommon. Blue, green, pink and old gold hold high carnival. Yet among these the most startling I saw was a toilet of pure white. The wearer was an artificial blonde. Heaven and her maid only knows what her natural hair and complexion are; but on this occasion it was a mingling of gleaming yellow tresses, snowy skin, coral lips and sombre dark eyes, set off by a flowing robe of heavy white velvet, almost covered with white lace and swansdown, pearl jewelry, a hat that consisted of nothing but a long white feather that hardly 6haded the lustre of her hair; her hands were covered with long white gloves, and her leet, shod in snowy kid, rested on a white bearskin. The open carriage in which she lolled was lined with dark blue, and drawn by two fine white horses. This vision in snow and gold is one of the Cora Pearls of Paris. Then comes a tinkling of silver bells, and we see a little old man, with a long gray beard and red cap, seated in a fairy little wagon, and driving tandem fashion three small ponies that are in curious harmony with the driver. They are little and round and gray, with long, bushy manes and wise faces; around their necks collars of silver bells that keep up a musical sound. Behind the wagon ran a couple of real Russian hounds, and my surmise is correct. The little man is a Russian, rich, old and spending his money in Pans. But I am told I must wait until I see la belle Busse, and I wait, but meantime watch the other turnouts that are rushing along. Among them comes an equipage fit to figure in a fairy tale. It consists of a little coupe drawn by two tiny ponies, plump and as brown as chestnuts. They are no bigger than Newfoundland dogs, and as mischievous as puppies, and seem to thinfc it great fun to trot alongside the big horses, who would take them down at a mouthful. In the coupe was Cinderella and her fairy grandmother, and back of them, perched on a high seat, an imp or, to be more explicit, I saw a young girl not a bit over seventeen. 1 think a German, but at any rate she made one think of sweet-brier, and morning glories and peach blossoms, and everything enchantingly modest and lovely. The natural bloom and delicate coloring of her face, the soft braids of golden hair, looped up under a coquettish, but most demurely so, little bonnet, the tender blue of her eyes, heightened by the costume of cashmere of the same color, the sweetness of her smile and the shy pleasure she took in the gay scene, made a picture worth hanging on memory's wall. I She drove with a gentle but steady hand the iroiicsome iimo sieeu, ana usienea to tne mite of an old lady behind her, who chattered away vivaciously. Behind sat the tiger, a small Nubian, black as the ace 'of spades, with the face of a monkey, and clad in a livery glittering with gold buttons. Towering over our fairy equipage came a span of bay horses drawing a carriage of dark blue, in which sat a lady with a fine aristocratic face and graceful figure attired in black velvet. She was accompanied by a dark and Spanish-looking gentleman, and the couple were pointed out to mo as the Count and Countess de Charticr. There was nothing especially startling about their turnout, except that instead of a driver on the seat the horses were managed by an outrider, dressed jockey fashion in brilliant blue and silver and mounted on the nigh horse. What queer things one sees on the Bois de Boulogne. An African came along dressed like a prince, and with diamonds on his shirt front and fingers that would buy a kingdom He reined up to the sidewalk to throw a gold piece to one of those poor deformities who haunt the streets of Paris. Then came a flashy barouche. It held two men and two women; they had evidently dined and drank much wine. They were laughing loudly and betting. One of them, a showy brunette, lost. Her companion, man about town, demanded she should pay; and, shocking to relate, without hesitation she caught up her dress of green brocade and whipped off a jewelled garter, amidst exclamations and jeers, and threw it to him. He clasped the affair of gilt and brilliancy round his neck like a dog collar. A Chinese mandarin came along in a hired carriage. His dress and bearing proclaimed his rank. Suddenly a cocottc leaned from a voicure and threw a rose in his face with a meaning fmile. he drew himself up with the insulted dignity of an emperor, and I am sure he would have had the woman's head cut off if he could. Definitions of Old iVords and Phrase, Consume signifies tolakeaway altogether; destroy, signifies to undo or scatter that which has been raised; to waste, is to make waste or naked What is consumed is lost for any future purpose; what is destroyed is rendered unfit for any purpose whatever. Adorn, to make beautiful, is to dispose for the purpose of ornament. Decorate is to make becoming. Embellish U to make handsome. We adorn by giving the best external appearance to a thing; we decorate by adding something suitable to improve its appearance; we embellish by giving a finishing stroke to a thing that is well executed. To found signifies to make firm in the ground, to make the ground the support. To ground signifies to lay a thing so deep that it may not totter. Diffuse, to pour out or spread wide, marks tho quality of being extended in space; prolix signifies to let loose in a wide space; diffuse is opposed to precise; prolix is, opposed to concise.. The diffuse style in writing abounds In epithets, figures, and illustrations, and has too much of repetition, and tends to tho use of words unnecessarily. The prolix style abounds in minute;detaiis,in tautology, and trifling particulars. Diffuseness often arises

from an exuberance of imagination ; prolixity from a want of imagination. Actual signifies belonging to the thing done; real signifies belonging to the thing as it is; positive, to place or fix, is the state or quality of being fixed, established. What is actual has proof of its existence within itself; what is real may be satisfactorily proved to exist, is not deceptive.. What is positive precludes the necessity of proof, and is self-evident. Actual is opposed to the suppositious; real to the feigned, imaginary; positive to the uncertain, doubtful. Journey, a day's work, the course a man takes in a day, a short passage from one placo to another. Travel, to labor, signifies a course that takes labor to perform it and causes fatigue; in general it is a long course. Voyage, a way, signifies any course or passage to a distance. Attempt is to try a thing; endeavor, to aim, signifies to try according to one's duty; effort signifies a bringing out or calling forth the strength; to try is to explore, examine, search. To attempt is to set about a thing with a view of effecting it; to try is to set about a thing with a view of seeing the results. An endeavor is a continued attempt. Attempts may be fruitless; trials may be vain; endeavors, though unavailing, may be well meant. "Whether or no," said Socrates, on the day of his execution, 'God will approve of my actions, I know not; but this I am sure of, that at all times I have made it my endeavor to please him." Exert signifies to put forth power. Exercise signifies to drive or force out. Exert conveys the idea of calling. forth into action; exercise conveys the idea of repeated or continued exertion. Practice, to do, signifies to perform a part. We exercise an art; we practice a profession. We exercise patience, fortitude, or forbearance; we practice charity, kindness, and benevolence. "Every virtue requires time and place, a proper object, and a fit conjuncture of circumstances for the due exercise of it." Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. In every art practice is an indispensable requisite for acquiring perfection. Hypocrisy signifies one appearing under a mask. ''Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue " Dissembler is one who makes himself appear unlike what he really is. The hypocrite feigns to be what he is not; the dissembler conceals what he is; the former takes to himself tho credit of virtues which he has not; the latter conceals the vices which he has. The hypocrites, who abound in all classes of society, do more to vitiate good manners and turn men from their path of duty and course of rectitude, than do all the doctrinal essays and moral preachings and professions of the teachers of wisdom and virtue lead to right. Harbor, to shelter; signifies a resting anchoring place; haven, to have or hold, conveys the idea of security; port, a gate, conveys the idea of an inclosure. A vessel goes into a harbor for a season; it remains in a haven for permanency; it seeks a port as the destination of its voyage. Lead signifies to show in a direct way or road. That only can safely lead to the right and real which is so in itself. Whatever is false in appearance and means, must be so in results and e'Jects. The politicians of the present day will yet learn the wise lessons that they may yet be followers of those whom they mislead, and that selfishness and advancement in the wrong may prevail for

a time, but soon the right will make itself mannest and gam the ascendency. Stock is a quantity laid up. Store signifies to hide. We judge of a man's property by the store which he has. By a stock we gain riches; by a store we guard against want. Wearyl wear, that is, to wear out the strength; tire, to draw, signifies to draw out the strength. Iong exertion wearies. Short and frequent exertion tires. Die, to kill, designates the general extinction of being; expire, to breathe out, designates the last action of life, which is a momentary act. "Pope died on the evening of the 30th day of May, 1744, so placidly that his attendants did not discern the exact time of his expiration." Trees and plants live although they have not breath; these die but do not expire; ; other beings absorb and emit air, but do not live, as the flame of a lamp expires, but does not die. When Alexander the Great died tha Grecian monachy expired with him. To perish signifies to go thoroughly away. To perish expresses more than to die. The latter expresses the extinction of life; the former js the dissolution of substances. To perish expresses the end; when a thing perishes it ceases to act or exist.

What is decayed is fallen and gone; what declines leads toward a fall, or is going. A decline is the commencement of a decay.

We delay the execution of a thing; we prolong or protract the continuance of a thing; we retard the termination of a thing. Quality signifies such as a thing, really is; that which is inherent in the object, and coexistent; property, proper, or one's own, signifies belonging to a thing, as an essential irgredient; attribute, to bestow upon, signifies the tbing3 bestowed upon or assigned to another. The good qualities of a man arc not strained or forced, but nianifehi, themselves in voluntary action; and tho attributes of our nature, or whnt we acquire by education and culture, warm and impel our minds to worthy pursuits and honorable ends. If we look at thing rs they are and ought to be, nothing magnify or extenuate, what is wrong improve and correct, what is right lead on to perfection, there would not be so many storms and wrecks on the sea and shoals of life. "If He stood twirling his hat in his hand in the hallway. It was about time for the morning-stars to begin their song together. ."Well," and he moved cne 6teD nearer tho door. -WelV'sho replied, as she stepped to the door lso. "Well, II roust be going. If " "That's right, John, if," and she leaned ner head on his shoulder. "If you have any conundrums to ask ask them now." Ho was measured for a new v hat and a pair of kid gloves on that same day.
