When a girl fixes her heart ujon going to the ball, there seems to be no law or earthly power capable of restraining her. Nor is the creature worthy the foolish tear so often shed.

A Messenger From llnwll. Miss Delia Throckmorton was recently the recipient of the wing of a living fish, sent to her by Mr. Philip Hintou, of WailuRu, Maui, Sandwich Islands. We suppose it is a winged messenger of love from the distant but not forgetful Philip to Delia. The tender passion defies oceans and continents, as well as locksmiths and second-story windows.

Editor Leader In your last issue 1 notice the following, viz.: "Now that the Garfield Club has been resurrected, the much talked of debate between J. T. V. Still and John L. Evans is in order." Signed, 'The Child." I would say to the child, I being tbe challenging party, and the lion. J. T. V. Hill having accepted that challenge, it is certainly his province to name the time and place.

Hill, S. S., A. Herron, J. S., W. Eilet. Tyler. Instalation next Thursday night, Dec. 53. The report that Gen. O. O. Howard is to supercede Gen. Schofield, if true proves that the administration indorses neither the sentiments of the latter worthy nor the theories of the faculty at West Point. With Gen. Howard in charge, the whole tone of the institution will change, and we predict that in less than four years there will be as decidedly Ja healthy public sentiment at West Point toward colored cadets as at Yale, Harvard or Ann Arbor. People's Advocate.

The "Garfield" met pursuant to adjournment Tuesday night, and while the attendance was not large everybody seemed to bo in good humor.

Ine exercises, as usual, were fine, especially the music fur nished by the Lewellen sisters. Owing to the fact that the "Drop in tbe Bucket 1 air will commence Tuesday night, the next meeting of the society will be held Monday night. The fair promises to be the biggest t m . ..a a 3 tmng oi me season, ".v least oi reason ana a flow of soul." Beautiful things to look at, sweet and enchanting sounds to listen to; and, think of it, for four successive nights Shades of departed pleasures, becrone. "Go way, sugar, you lost your sweetness.''

The citizens of this city have been considerably arruused by the arrest of a young man, one Bantell, on suspicion of having killed some persons in Cuba, he claiming that he was just from there, and had come to Cleveland from Kansas City. It seems s though one of our colored smart alecks who had heard of this murder in the above named place and having learned from Bantell that he was from there, had him arrested. I suppose he thought that was a chance of making a few paltry dollars. There being nothing to back up thia suspicion, Mr. Bantell was, of course, released, and he says this smart fellow (in the employ of the Cleveland Leader Company, says the Cleveland Leader), came to him and apologised. "We have black sheep in the fold here a3 well as other cities. The next issue of the Leader will contain an account of the Red Cross Commandry, No. 7, K. T's jug-breaking. Non Ni.o. Lognnsport News.

Our vote is an indispensable factor. It can grant triumph or secure defeat. It should receive the respect due its power: whatever Is less is not the dignity of citizenship; whatever is less than citizenship is espionage and serfdom. With our party in power our advancement should be assured. Wiso counsel and prompt action is needed. The fair recognition of a race in the civil regulations of the Government is to be accomplished. Again, in an entire section, the new amendments are practically abrogated, lubor is unremunerated, life and property insecure, terrorism prostrates the American ballot.
