If constant abuse causes hardness of haart, then the heart of the Police Board must be a pretty solid organ. The members have been severely and continually criticized since the day of their organization. Some of the TJ. B.

Austin Bradley, ot the sheriffs office, is one of the young men who will doubtless figure prominently in the politics of this county in the near future. Mr. Bradley belongs to a family that believes that a man is a man regardless of color, and what he seeras to be he is. Bishop Jones administered a much needed rebuke last Sunday night to that numerous class of church-goers, wh make a practice of running in and out of church during service, much to the annoyance of good people who go to church for something else than to b seen and heard. It occasionally happens that some obscure fallow, by the assistance of influential friends is brought from his obscurity and placed in a position of political prominence; and this same product of obscurity is occasionally guilty of procuring the assistance of a colored man's name to aid him to pull through, and on some occasion the said colored man may be cheeky enough to remind the fell jw who has struck a streak of unparaHed luck, that it would be satisfactory to have a little color mixed into the running g'sar of his office. "When any thing of this kind occurs it occasionally happens that the undeserving child of luck has no time to talk or consider such a suggestion. Moral: If you are a man of colort consider the matter carefully before you sign your name in the interest of s a political schemer. On To Louisville. Go to Louisville with the U. B. and F. on August 4, only $1.75 for the round trip, and don't you forget that we are going to have a good time. Leah Court Installation.

The grand effort of the Bethel Church congregation, at English's Opera House, last Sunday, did not terminate so successfully as was hoped by.the friends of the church. Owing to the funeral of 3Ir. Hart, which took place in the morning from the church, the forenoon services was a failure. Quite a number of prominent ministers, who promised to be present, failed to put in an appearance. In the afternoon the lower portion of the Opera House was comfortably filled. The evening sorvices were held at the church. The majority of those pres-nt-at the meeting contributed very lilerally in cash, and subscriptions, to bo paid. The sum of $475.57 , was raised during the day. In a talk with Elder Trevan, he (the Elder) expressed great hope of being able to raise the required $1,500 before the end of the week. "We sincerely hope he will succeed.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Dissatisfaction With Their Present Man agement. Among both white and colored people of this city, there i a deep-seated and widespread dissatisfaction with the management now in control of our public schools. By "management" we have reference to the Superintendent and committee on selection of teachers. That this discontent is not con fined to tho patrons of the schools alone, is proven by the fact that the Board of Education did not, by four or five votes, unanimously re-elect tho present Superintendent this year. There are many and good reasons lor this want of confidence in Professor Tarbell and the committee on teachers. The removal of Vrofflssnr "Roberts from tha tho orincirmlshiD f the High School, is the subject of much adverse criticism among the patrons of that institution. The general opinion about this transaction, is that the powers that e regarded Professor Kobcrt's growing popularity as an instructor with en vious eyes, and feared that he would be eventually called on to step higher, hence he must be gotten out of theway. It has been announced in behalt of Tarboll.tbat the responsibility for the change in the High School belongs to Messrs. Brown, Vonnegut and Carev. It would bo interesting to know what a bupenxitendent is good tor, it he has nothing to say about the appointment and removal of teachers. How can Messrs Brown, Vonnegut and Carey, none of whom are schoolmen, and all of whom are engaged in active business, keep themselves so well posted about 200 and more teachers who are employed in our city schools, as to know who should be retained and who should not, without the aid of the Superintendent? Verily, there is the odor of Danish rotten ness in this business. The management of the colored schools is especially the subject of a great deal of uncomplimentary criticism among the pa trons ot these schools, lhe avowed policy of the Superintendent and committee on teachers, to substitute white for colored teachers is such a glaring insult to the many parents among our peo ple who are struggling to educate their chil dren for something higher, that we wonder at its effrontery, lhe committee say they have placed white teachers in No. 19 school as an experiment, and if it works well they are to be introduced into tue other schools This is understood to be the pet theory of bupt. Tarbell with regard to the colored schools. "When the colored people are heard from on this subject, we think these gentlemen will change their minds. It was the policy of ex-Supt. G. P. Brown to employ none but colored teachers in colored schools, but the present Superintendent believes in mixing the teachers in the colored schools, or employing white teachers only. "We would like to ask Mr. Tarbell why he does not place a few colored teachers in the white schools. Ihis would be mixing on both sides of the line, which is the only true policy. The canting, sniveling hypocrisy dis played in the appointment ot teachers, is the subject of much unfavorable comment among all classes. "We are inclined to the opinion that it certain members of the com miiteo knew just exactly the naturo ot this talk, they would open their eyes a little wider, and make some investigation. There is richness in this school question, and we shall have more to say about it hereafter, PERSONAL Prof. J. C. Lightbourne is rusticating jji Michigan Qity. James Thomas made a flying visit to the city last Sunday. Mr. Levi Rich left the city last Wednes day for Kankakee. John W. Womack is stopping at the Tremont House in Chicago. Mr. John B.

The police force Sunday passed the fol lowing resolutions of respect on the death of Officer 1 nomas Hart: Whereas.lt has pleased an allwise Providence to remove from our midst our brother omcer, i nomas nart, and Whereas, We how In humble submission to His will, and Whereas. It Is proper that wehould offer some tribute to his memory; therefore he it Resolved, That from his continuous and dally association with us as a brother officer for more than five years iast, and from his habitually upright and conscientious conduct and uniformly quiet and gentlemanly demeanor, he has endeared himself to us In such a manner that his death is to us more than an associate, it.ia the death of a respected and esteemed brother, one who, contending with the prejudice of race, has won the esteem and respect of all citizens who knew him. All were his friends, and he was a friend to all. Resolved, That Me as a police force have lost one of our most esteemed friends and the city one of its best officers. . Resolved. That we ever hold in remembrance the many virtues of our deceased brother and his efficiency as an officer. Resolved, That in the death of Officer Hart the wife has lost a faithful husband, the children a kind and indulgent father, and that our heart-felt sympathies are extended to the bereaved family of the deceased. The Springfield .Excursion Bids fair to be a grand event. The rates are cheap, there will be good accommodations, and everything necessary to a good time has been looked after. Don't fan to goThe Rally at English's Opera Ilonse. The grand effort of the Bethel Church congregation to liquidate the debt on their Church property, was from several causes not exactly what was expected. Services for both morning and afternoon were advertised, but owing to the funeral of Mr. Hart, which took place from the Church in the morning, the forenoon services were a failure. Quite a number of prominent ministers who had promised to be present failed to put in an appearance. In the afternoon the lower portion of the Opera House was comfortably filled. The evening services were held at the Church. Those present contributed very liberally. The collections by cash and subscriptions amounted to

$470.57. In a talk with Elder Trevan the Elder expressed great hope ot raising the amount necessary to prevent tho Church from being locked up. "We hope they may succeed. v

FACAET1A. "A little nonsense now and then, I relished by tlte finest men." What has Indianapolis to-day which she never had before, but which tho Marion county jail has always had? A Grubb(s) bOriS. Recent archivological discoveries in Egypt have disclosed the fact that the reason Joseph did not lie with Potiphar's wile, was because, like AVashinton, he was a truthful man and would not lie. Tho author ot tha following, a friend of ours named Pease, was sentenced to the county jail at hard labor for ninety days on a diet of bread and water: 'Truth Is mighty so is cheese; Fancy's flighty no are fleas; So says Pope and so says Peate," A SPECULATOR. A tall thin man with long hair, bloated features, red nose and blistered eye, entered J. he Lkader olhce one day this week, and gravely inquired if we had any old cellars to sell. ''Old cellars!" we exclaimed, "what in name ef the sainted General Jackson do you want with old collars V laking off his hat and approaching nearer to us, with a countenance full ot hope-and expectancy, and a voice husky wim consuming tnirst, ne saiu: "1 am a speculator, Sir.; and wish to cut them up and sell them for post holes." t It was a paralyzr, but we were able to collect ourselves sufficiently to band the un happy man a dime, upon tho receipt of which, alter bowing hitnseu out, he took a beo line to the nearest retail oil ot corn establishment. Wo shall recover, but hereafter tall thin men with long hair, bloated features, red ncse, and blistered ojei will not be in de mand at The Leader office. O. Toper Esq. The "Younger Lights" Are making extenüve preparations for a grand literary entertainment, to be given at the Second Baptist Church next Friday evening. The organization is composed of young ladies and gentlemen of considerable ability, and their entertainment will no doubt, be worthy of the patronage of the public, to which a cordial invitation is ex tended. After the literary exercises re ireshments will be served in the lecture room. Admission, 15 cents; children, 10 cents. Odd Fellow IMd-NIc. The annual union pic-nic given by the Odd Follow Lodges of the city, wa3 as usual a grand Bucces. The train consisting of eight well filled coaches pulled out from the Union depot at a little bo fere 9 o'clock and reached the beautiful little city of Edin burg at a little after 10 o'clock. The crowd repaired to White's grove and spent a very pleasant day. I he net receipts of the day and evening amounted to nearly $300 The committee is deserving of great praise for the energv and ethciency they displayed in the management of th atfairs. Music was furnished bv Bells' cornet band. Speech es were made by Hon. J. S. Uinton, Elder Simmons and others. A Faithful Officer and Good Citizen Gone, Thomas Hart, of whose illness mention has been made from time to time in the Leader, died Friday evening of last week. Mr. Hart was appointed to the City Police force in tho Spring of 187G, being one of the first colored policemen appointed. As an officer Mr. Hart's record was of the best. He was a member in good standing of the Vermont Street A. M. E. Church, and was also a Mason. The funeral took place Sunday morning, the ceremonies being conducted by Trinity Lodge of Masons. Tho Police force, Chief Williamson in command, followed by Trinity Lodge and a largo concourse of friends, formed the procession. The City Band furnished the music. o Reply to Dr. Watson. Editor Leader Sir, your last issue contained a "card" from Dr. Watson, D. G. M., of the U. B. F. of the State, in which the good Doctor eloquently, but severely, arraigns the U. B. F.'s of thss city, for their manner of conducting their annual 4th of July reunion. Time and duty prevents me from giving the Doctor's firery manifesto that extended review, which it no doubt deserves; but there is one question we would like to ask the Doctor: "Why was it that as D. G. M. of the State, that the Doctor did not issue an order prohibiting the reunion on that day?" Up to this time no one has heard of such order. Will the Doctor explain. Oxe of the U. B. F. Another Victim of the Pale Visitor. Thursday morning at 7:15 o'clock Adoa Elijah Dunlap (better known as "Don."), who ha3 been lingering near the confines of death, with the dread disease, consumption, passed to rest. The Inevitable but everdreaded visitor, Death, came to his relief, and the frail bark was launched on the great unknown sea. "Don" was the last of a large family, all of whom were victims of the slow but sure destroyer of life, consumption. He was born in Jeffersonville August 14 1855; was raised in Indianapolis, and was a general favorite with everybody. The deceased leaves a wife and aged mother to moUrn his loss. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon from the family residence, 190 Missouri St.; Rev. Trevan ofBciating. Deceased was a member of Bethel Church. CORRESPONDENCE," .

A Lesson for Ladies. An excellent lesson was lately given to a lady well, known in society as a professional beauty and flirt. Her favorite amusement is to flirt with young married men in a manner just sufficient to make their wives uncomfortable without compromising herself in the eyes of the world. At a party she had tried the whole power of her fascinations upon a gentleman who had not been many months married, and had monopolized his society nearly tho whole evening. As the night wared, and he seemed to be yielding to her fascinations, she became more and more sentimental, and even tender, "Ah! Colonel E." she said," what a passion love is 1 How few men there are who c&n truly feel and realize the whole force of a woman's love and give in return that ardent affection for, which her heart cravesl" "Dear Mrs. B., I can and do," answered the Colonel. "There is one whom I priz9 above all, and whom I truly believe to be the loveliest woman on earth." "Ah!'' said the beauty, with a soft hand pressure and a most killing glance; "and she is?" 4,My wife!" replied the Colonel. "I think she is in tho tea room, and it is time I looked for her.
