Tax IiSaiSIiATUBE. Both branches of the General Assembly are now hard at work with Tjcnaa.t.ire rintips. Th fJnmmittiM are actively engaged with the large number of bills already introduced, nnd expect a few (?) more. There is a very large amount of Legislation to be done this session, and the members will be fortunate if they get through in the time alloted for the regular session. The . benevolent institutions will probably be reorganized; the revision of the law is to be considered; the State is to be re-districted for Con gressional, and possibly, Legislative purposes, and much other general and special Legislation remains to be done. Some talented Alexander has suggested that General Garfield, instead of making Senator Bruce a member of his Cabinet, should recall Judge Christiancy, from Peru, and appoint Mr. Bruce to the vacancy thereby created. We consider that, while an appointment aa American Minister

mm

to Peru, should be considered a high compliment by any ' gentleman , yet.

the assignment of. Senator Bruce to that station, simply to avoid giving the Negro element recognition in the the new administration, through him or some other 'qualified represen tative man, would be a manipulation ofthepolitical cards, hardly justifiable according to the high . standard of square dealing, which -we Understand and believe is to mark the incoming administration. t The Hon. John fiercer Langston, Ohio's favorite son, though absent from us in the. service of his Countrr. as Minister i ' . to Hayti, takes a deep interest in all that is going on especially in everything that pertains to . the elevation of the Negro . race. The editor of the Leader is in ' receipt of a private letter from Uv. Längsten in which he earnestly endorses the effort now being made by the progressive element of the colored race, for a larger and more hpnorablo - . : political recognition. Mr. Langston is one of the foremost men of the colored race. A classic scholar, and a gentleman of rare culture and at tainments, he will reflect honor upon any position to which he may be called. Having had experience in the diplomatic service, there would bo a striking fitness in his clovation to one of the first class foreign missions.

Indianapolis branch of the Irish Land League are very active in their efforts to assist their brethren of the Emerald Isle. The Land Leaguers have a good cause, and as friends of oppressed humanity, we can but wish them success in their efforts to restore their native soil to its natural owners. Yery few Irish in this country sympathized with and assisted the Negro in his struggle for liberty; but notwithstanding their misguided and unnatural opposition to an oppressed race in this country, all true lovers of liberty must sympathize with them in their struggle for liberty on their own soil. A young "kullered" "skule" teacher in one of the rural "destricks" of Ohio, broke into a Western; paper, of his own complexion, last week, and pranced around like a madman. He don't want no "kullered Cabinets no kullered nuffin 'cep'n case of qualification. But life is too short for recapitulation. Suffice it to say that J he "bucked agin" the "kullered ideM with 'stoneshin rashness, and, doubtless, in bis own opinion, at least, "dore" it up "Brown." With Senator Bruce injthe Cabinet, ... . - A t Langston at the Court "of St. James, j and colored men honorably recognized in the various departments of the Government, State and National, we shall, to say the least, feel com fortable. Louisiana presents the name of I Hon. P B. S. Pinchback to General Garfield for recognition. Governor Pinchback never fails to advocate the interests of his race. The colored people of Kentucky are struggling for equal school pnvileges. We sincerely hope, they may succeed. Colonel Robert Harlan, of Cincin-. nati, will probably be a candidate for Clerk of the Police Court in that city. H We are indebted la Hon. S. E. Sinclair of Allen and Hon. J. S. Hinton for valuable public documents.

Koss, Merles, Bartlett and Jonhson, and it er will be promptly and surely delivered. Give in your orders at once. THE CANTATA Or DA MIL. Its admirable common school system, its department of art and its University of science place Cinciaati second to few and the superior of many of the educational and art tenters of the world. In music especially does Cincinnati expend the beet portion of its native talent, and not stopping there araws largely upon other cities to assist in attaining the highest point of musical excellence. Its magnificent music hall, its numerous harmonica societies, saengar bunds and church social singing societies, attest the wide-spread taste for music inherent to the people of Cincinnati. Those societies which we have just mentioned, to be 6ure, are composed of whites' yet the whites do not po88eM a11 the back over the history of the colored people will show that colored society has always been of a musical turn. The first ventures in the musical field among colored people wer.e ch,-cfl7 church cholrs. ÄQd 8IDß1Dß cieties, but these societies developed and nourished a taste for music which Las existed until to-day. Probably the firtt band or singers ever gathered together forthe purP080 of travel, was the Gilmores' I4igh School Singers, in 1847. These singers traveled throughout Southern Ohio, singir in Ml, the towns and cities, and applied the M.i.a.a . profits to the buying of books and the paying of the tuition for poor children. Among those who composed this company, we might name Mrs. Ann Baltimore, Mrs. Maria Adams, Mrs. Frances Clard. Miss T n i v ti . t . J. Awam ox, Air. lorK xTJ Woodson MPetTrH Clark Mr Simon Spencer and Mr. Elijah Forte. These ÄrTalVwaÄo ? ig 1 J6110 owing the white people what the colored people could do, Jlu' ored people considerably higher. Since then the pursuit of music has been confined - lo.Ul0, fca one of the colored schools has attained a reputation for its singing particularly Gaines' High Schoo L A few years ago a society was formed and the Cantatas of Esther and Daniel where rendered very creditably to those Who nartiPinAtAd Thin im-iAtr via mvitJ I to WkW and to Davton" ww Vw I . rr - -'. . - rv I acnievea great honor for their able rendition of these Cantatas. But all these have been mere attempts, mere steps upward. "when we consider the rendering of the Canh.t. riu.:.i k.iL. - t i : j vow vi MjnLUKsi ujr tua juuu .uauies anu tlemen's singing society on last Friday even ing at Melodeon Hall. Long before the curtain was rung up, the hall was crowded with enthusiastic listeners sitting in chairs, windows and standing in every available space. Very soon after 8 o'clock the curwith finely costumed ladies and gentlemen who sang in even and very melodious tones The opening chorus entitled 'The River of Babylon." The part of Daniel was to have been taken by Wm. H. Parham Esq. but on account of a severe cold was compelled very unfortunately to give un to Wm. Morean of AL . n .1 1? T 'I W .f m m . .a the Public Library. Mr. Morgan rendered the solo of ''Blessed be the name of the Lord"in excellent style of voice, and showed he was perfectly at home in the difftcut character he personated. His make up and costuming of Daniel was perfect. Mr. P. J. Ferguson as King and Mrs. P. J. Ferguson as Azariah, added more laurels to the crowns they have already attained by their beautiful singing on former occasions. . Mr, Ferguson voice was in splendid condition and in his solos seemed to shake the very foundations of the building, such was its depth. In look, in walk, in voice in dress, he was every inch a King. The duett "Oh, my brother." was simply 100 weet to talk about, and Mrs. Ferguson . a m and Mr. John Lewis did exceedingly well. Miss Uattie Holmes sustained the part - of Queen very creditably. Her voice, while not strong, is very sweet and entrancing, and in her various solos she achieved great applause. In carrying out her part, she a lo dipiy tbat ceain naughtiness Qd W! dignity of step which all Queens are supposed to possess nevertherailed to display that certain haughtiness less, in her modest way, she looked queenly. we can not help but mention here one or two scenes which were perfe:tly beautiful indeed. The scene occurred twice duuing the evening. It consisted of the Queen, her two attendants, Misses Cora Watson and Ida Liverpool; the King and the Court offi. oers, representing a Court scene. The sweet faces of the young ladies, the elegance of their costumes and their graceful attitudes attracted general comment. Messrs. Johnson, Ros, Woodson and Jones rendered their parts in excellent style. Mr. Thomas Triplett, a baritone singer; closed the second part of the exercises by singing the solo '0, Sing Unto the Lord." This solo was without doubt the gem of the second part and was very sweetly and artistically rendered from the window was very realistic. JTh eboruse throughout were superbly rendered, the "Triumphal Chorus" being particularly. Mr. T. J. Monroe had charge of the stage, and under hia skillful management the various scenes and acts ran yery smoothly and without disagreeable interruptions. It is said ' that about $200 was cleared over all expenses, if so, the success of this of tbi entertainment was .marvelous. It ia rumored that this Circle will not disband, and at some convenient day. this contata will be repeated. The members of this Circle are deserving of great praise for their able and magnificent rendering of this cantata, and also for giving their time and ser-

vices to the benevolent purpose of helping the poor orphan. -; v , ... r.

. . .., V," it nve -Methodist,- -amt-rone Campbe church. Certainly an ample - supply, and if any sinner goes to destruction it is certainly not for lack of opportunity ,to' be saved. The tendency for many years has been to multiply and divide churches. This is especially shown among' the-Baptists, whose numerous church edifices crowd each other so closely, that in some cases a stone can be thrown from one to the other. v ' j There was a time 'when; this increas? t in the number of churches was a necessity.' In a large and growing city and--witbv a population widely scattered there -was 'no other way to accomodate the people. " Bui-how the street cars, have equalized; distances and one dwe'line in the most distant part of the city can be easily and cheaply carried over miles of distance andaet dowa at the .very church door.. The 'people now are more straightened for means than in the old -time, and the support of somany churches ails upon them with paralyzing eflect, . and prevents them from entering upon modes pf activity oy wnicn modern churches are distinguished from the old. The assertion; "By their walks ye shall know them," is accepted' by the modern Church -with more heartiness than by the old-time Church. Instead of doctrinal services and revival meetings the' modern Church seeks to lead the way in all eood enterprizes. The Bible Society, the Mis. sionary Society, and .Orphan's Society appear in the ; Church, and the : Church now J shows her "faith by her works-". In these directions, always hampered with heavy debts, with impending executions, with unavoidable running expenses, the col ored churches of our . city can scarcely be said to live, so near are they nearly all to a financial, if not spiritual death. i

The plain leeson is to lessen the number lapsed since they assumed this motto, and of churches, sell surplus property, pay debts, they have always acted up to it. Each niemand thus establish strong" self supporting r of the house not only works for the

congregations, from whose efforts some good may be reasonably expected." Look out for a continuation of this subject. , i THE HON. George W. WILLIAMS AND NEW MEXICO. ; A few weeks ago the above gentleman came to Cincinnati and , lectured 'on New Mexico, at Mound Street Church. . This lecture was published by Mr Williams in the daily papers and was very generally com mented on. In tue ' coarse of the lecture Mr. Williams took extra pains, ' and used grandiloquent rhetönic to snow that he had gone to New Mexico on his' own expenses, paid his own way,- and 4 whije there unearthed a great crime about to be played on the colored people down South, and that he, Hon. George. W. Williams, was the one who discovered it and dared to expose it. He stated that he returned to New York City and made ; the fur fly from those fellows, whet were just; about to commit this , trod i do as and about to herculean crime. UnfbrtttnatyXJeneral T.W.

ONE-PRICE CLOTHING HOUSE,

East Washington Street. EUROPE'S RICHEST FAMILY. The Rothschilds Same of Their Habits, Likes, Dislikes, and Peculiarities. The Paris banking firm of Rothschild Brothers expired by limitation on the last day of September. It was reconstituted on the same day for twenty-five years. Its capital is fixed at 60,000,000 francs ($10.000. 000), contributed equally by the three partners. Mayer Alphonse James de Roth schild, 2 Rue Saint Florentin; Gustave Samuel James de Rothschild, 23 Avenue Marigny, and Edward James de Rothschild 23 Rue Lafitte. The Rothschilds, when they received their patent of nobility, adopted as their device the words, "Industria, lntegritate, et labore." More than three-quarters of a century have common good, but is remarkable lor his personal merits. The head of the French branch of the family is the Baron Alphonse de Rothschild. He is the financier of the family, and the faithful continuer of the traditions of his father, the Late Baron James. He is an in defatigable worker, up earlier than most of his clerks, and one of the first to enter the office. He takes his lunch in the bank and never leaves it till the doors are closed. He possesses an intellect at once cool and luminous: he sees a situation at a glance and all the advantages that can be derived from it. He has not only the temperament of a financier, but the science of finance. In Paris he in fond of walking about the streets, and he may be seen on foot not only when he leaves the bank, but after dinner, or after leaving a party. He does not care for show, and no passer by is attracted by the splendor of his equipages. In the country he hunts and shoots, more for the sake of his health than from any passion for th6 chase. His wife, a beauty, with the temperament of an Englishwoman, is a more ardent follower of sport than ,he is, it constant in her attendance at race meetings, and may be seen in the spring mornings, however late she may have left the ball, galloping in the Bois. 'She is a devoted patroness of the Theater, and is one of the coterie of grandes elegantes of Parisian high life. But while associating with them, she never imitates their luxury of dress or their pretensions to originality. Her dresses are always simple, and her jewels never indicate the treasures of which she is mistress. Baron Alphonse has three children. The eldest, : Bettina, passed her examens d'institutribe at the Hotel de Ville, when she was in her sixteenth year. She is the wife of her cousin. Albert Rothschild of Vienna. The second daughter, Beatrix, is said to promise both grace and beauty. The son is still young. Baron Gustave looks after the external relations of tho banking house. He is less cold and reserved than his brother Alphonse, and is a conspicuous member of the Jockey Club, where he is one of the most riptArmined nlRvera. Hin wife one dav com plained that.her husband's loeses'at thejClub amounted in one year to a hundred thou-and-crowns. 'Be thankful, mv dear." said the old lady whom she was addressing: a passion for the queen of spades will not disturb" the household of a Rothschild." The Baroness Gustave, like all the other ladjes of the house of Rothschild, is well acquainted With the larger transactions of the house. The late Emperor only once during his reign visited the magnificent chateau of Ferriers, celebrated now as having been the King of Prussia's headquarters. He passed the day there. The male members of the firm-were in attendance to receive their guest, and the Baroness Gustave had for that day the signature of the firm. Baron Edward cares little for the fluctuations of the Bourse. He is a bibliophile enrage. The rivalry between him and the Duke d'Aumale for the possession of rare works has raised the price of all curious or ancient editions. With such buyers in the market there is no chance now of the humble bibliomaniac finding a treasure among the bouquins of the Quais. Baron Edward is not such a selfish collector. He supplies means and encouragement for the publication of rare editions, and he is a great connoitseur in biddings. His wife Adelaide was one of the Prussians Rothschilds. Charlotte, the sister of these three brothers, was, by a custom not unusual among Continental Jews, married to her uncle Baron Nathaniel. Her eldest son, James, who is married to another cousin, Therese, has been called lately to the Bar. He has even held a brief in Court and he lost his case with the best grace in the world. He is usually regarded as the probable successor of his Uncle Alphonse, whose industry he shares, and whose teachings he follows. . A younger brother, Arthur, is a man of generous lively disposition. lie values his wealth for the pleasures which it procures for him and his friends. He tries his jand at everything;. 'He is an officer of Artillery in the Territorial force, a post obtained only by a severe examination; he is a passionate hun. terand'an ardent" yachtsman. Helbas the finest yacht in France. Two years ago he projected an expedition to the East, and enrolled aa his - companions of his travels a number of artists. He has written a "Historie delaPoste," an excellent monograph, and he has formed a collection of postage stamps valued at $20,000. . . .. . . The mother of the two Rothschilds just mentioned, the Baroness Charlotte, and her mother, the Dowager Baroness James, are really the greatest figures in the family ' The latter held a considerable society during the reign of Louis Phillippe, Her grace, and tact brought the Faubourg St. Germain into the salons of the Rue Lafitte, and opened the door of the most aristocratic mansions to her children. Her personal attachment to the Queen Marie Amelie, and her devotion to t he House of Orleans, prevented her from coming to terms with the Court of the Tuileries under the Empire. She underwent last year

an operation " expressions, of for 'cataract, and the ) sympathy which she received from all quarters prove the esteem in which she is held. All the grand traits of her character are found in her daughter Charlotte. For fifteen years she was the devoted nurse of her blind and paral I yzed husband. As a widow she consecrates I herself to her children. She is a lover of art, and no mean artist. Some of her water colors exhibited at the Salon were much admired and her house is always open to the master of literature and of art. Like her mother, she is the patroness of innumerable charities well, known to the public In secret deeds of charity she is equally indefatigable, and many an aristocratic family could not hold its position in the world if it were not for the generosity and discretion of Charlotte Rothschild. ' The Baroness Solomon was early left a widow, and still wears her weeds. Her daughter, an only child, is the richest heiress of the Rothschilds. She has a passion for horses, and is as skillfu and intrepid a ccach woman as the Queen oiDeJeium. Baron Adolphe was the head of the house at Naples, lie wound up its affairs and now lives in Paris, a simple rentier. He seen everywhere; in the Theaters, the studios, the lashionable Salons, his blond oeard is always visible. His wife, a particu lar tnend of the late Queen of the Two Sic ilies, had a Salon at Naples which possess ea great political importance. At present the I'aria salon in the Rue de Monceau has an ultra aristocratic air. Like all of her name, she is nobly generous; and has estab lished an Ophthalmic Hospital in the V aller oi ino itnone lor patients of ail religions. Only one of the the Continental branch of the family has abandoned the religion of her ancestors, this is the young Duchess Alex andrine de Gramont, one of the Frankfort Rothschild. - Love proved more potent than family tradition.

There, is one rule of conversation which should be thoroughly impressed on the mind, which is to remember there are two persons of whom you should never suffer yourself to speak one is yourself the other your enemy. The reason is evident; you run into two dangersegotism and injustice. . 1 Women are too justly accused of a love of scandal,1 and in a group of ladies collected for a "chat," it' often happens that severe remarks on the conduct or motive of their neighbors form the staple of their conversation. The time passed . in conversation on servants and babies, or the more reprehensible animadversions we have jivt alluded to, is neither very entertaining nor very instructive. . The topics of the day, the new books, amusing anecdotes, pretty works, and graceful feminine occupations, should form the staple of conversation. They are subjects free from danger to that. ''unruly member" which, requires such constant restraint. From a mind well stored with good reading, good words are almost sure to emanate; and more attractive than beauty, , is the pleasant, Intelligent companion, whose clever and original remarks will be full of refreshment to the tired man of business on his return home, who will. know, that at home a bright welcome . awaits him from one whose pleasant 'talk" will refresh and amuse ' . Lim, , and render . the : evenings at home as agreeable as those passed in society. .t. :. , ' Having fully impressed yourselves , with the first, rule we have laid down, respecting the two subjects of coaversation to be avoided, I would suggest ' that you should remember never to Ulk too fast nor too loud. - - .: :. .' , ; Manymoihers,.&n4 those who have the

Sinecure at Washington, Mr. Z. L. White, editor of The Provi dence Press, is writing for his paper some reminiscences of Washington life, from which we take the following: "Before this house (the one occupied by Mr. Seward when he was attacked by Payna). for sev eral years afterward, a sentry paced night and day, even when Jlr. öeward had moved away and gone out of office. The same building was once used as a Club House, and from it Key had just issued when he was shot by Sickles. This lonely sentry, still at his post long after he had been foreotten at the War Department, and allowed to re main! suppose," Decause no one thought it was his dutv to relieve him raminrl mm f several similar incidents that are related in Washington. The great Falls of the Poto mac are about sixteen miles above Washington, and during the war there was a sta tion for the collection of provisions for the army on the bank of tbe canal near ' thes grand cataracts. , The road between Wash-, mgton and Great Falls was several times raided by the Confederates, and a block house was erected by the x ederals three or four miles above Georgetown to prevent parties of Rebels from passing up and down the road. At the close of the war the de fences about the Capital were one after another deserted, but nobody seems to have remembered the Corporal's guard stationed out there on the Aqueduct road, and they remained on duty fcr a year or two. . , After they were relieved the block-house was set on fire by tramps or boys, and only a few blackened posts now mark its site. A still more remarkable case was that discovered by General B. F. Butler about ten yearsago. lie was neeing around among the appropriations one day, when he discovered an officer in the Capitol whose dutiei he did not understand, lie was 'watching crypt.' An investigation showed that many years ago it was proposed to deposit the bones of General George Washington beneath the Capitol, and a crypt was prepared for that purpose. When it was completed, a public officer was appointed whose duty it was to watch this crypt and prevent its desecration, and there he had been ever since, growing gray in the service, and while Congress had appropriated money to pay his salary . year after year, nobody had thought it worth while to inquire how he earned it." It is yery easy to trust a friend when he seems all fight. Anybody could do that. But the real test of friendship comes when everything seems all wrong. True friend-: ship is that which does not waver because o appearances which is just as firm and confident when there is room for doubt aa when the friend ia boyond all possible causa of suspicion. Trust is worth most when it is most needed. It has cos the Government $22,000,000 to fool with the Indiana since 1865.
