The Cincinnati the colored defeated Colonel Harlan. It . charges that George W. Williams and his friends : worked against the Colonel. Mother Shipton prophesied a goou many things but she said nothing about the fine musquito weather of last week. Prophets should not overlook such iu4 teresting phenomena while delving intoi future events. "While the necessary forms in the ar raignment of Guiteau were progressing in the criminal court at Washington , Geo. H. Bethard, an ex-soldier from Ohio, made an effort to secure a pistol to shoot the prisoner. He was arrested by a detetive. ... , Through the kindness of Prof. W. O. Bowles, of Urbana, we have received the minutes of the eighth an ual session of the Ohio Sunday school Institute, held ät Urbana, Juby 68, '81. It is full of interesring matter for Sunday School workers. Senator Mahone was arrested in Taahincrrrn Rntnrdnv tn nrpvpnt hia fighting a duel with General .Tubal Early who recently denounced him. The Senator declared he had no intention to fight Early and was released on' his own personal . recognizance. Now that the New Testament revisers have finished their revising work, we desire to submit this overwhelming and pertinent question to them:AVhy is 'it that the musquitoes like the balance of. creation do not get in their awful work in the day-time and rest at night ? . Hon. W. M. Holland, a colored gentleman of excellent qualifications, is . a candidate for Commissioner of-the--District of Columbia. Should Mr. Holl-. and receive the appointment, the inter ests of the District of Columbia will be, permitted to suffer no detriment.. , . i ' S 1 i i ' V- ,. t flA.mong the legacies left ?by the contemptible Hayes regime at Washington, is a Board of Democratic Commissioners for the District of Columbia. The appointment of these Bourbon . Commissioners was one of the many disgraceful concessions which Hayes made to the Southern rebels, tö the exclusion ofloal Republicans. .These Comirdssioneri have been notorious in their discriminatioa against colored men -and Republicans. The District patronage has been controlled almost absolutely by Demo cratic Congressmen, and it is reported t upon good authority that; bz'the 'aid"bf this patronage threß or four Democratic Congressmen have been regularly retur-

ned, from adjacent districts in Maryland and. Virginia, The colored people constitute nearly one hall" the population

of Vasl$ngt6n an J yet there are but four, or tiye colored men on the police force. In fact,4 the colored people arealamöst completely; ignored in the vast mount of patronage at the disposal of the Commissioners. We doubt not President Arthur will seek an early opportunity .to sit down heavily, as it were, ou these arrogant upstarts and relegate them to the obscurity from which Hayes resurected them. Afterreceiving the congratulations of his 'inany friends" over his glorious victory; it wa discovered that General J. B. Steadmau, a riproaring Democrat icrooster of 'Toledo, Ohio," had been defeated instead of elected to the State Senate. Chickens ought never to be counted until they are entirely hatched out. ." - The Colored people of Virginia have a golden opportunity to render b great service to the entire race and the cause of good Government. We congratu late them on the fact that they have the wisdom to see and seize the oppor tunity notwithstanding the advice of some unwise if not selfish leaders. The "Weekly Review" is an alleged Cincinnati paper which ia printed at .New Albany. Floyd County. Indiana. It is a good idea on the part of the owners to, do their. printing in New AHumy, for there are so many newspaper thieves in Cincinnati that they . would steal it body and soul,' if it were" published in that citv. - ' ... V." . - ' aB i - -1 i ' 1 Guiteau was arraigned in' court . Friday last, and plead not guilty to the charge of murdering President Garfield His line of defense will be hereditary in sanity, with the plea that the President's wound was not necessarily fatal, but was made so by the malpractice of the phys icians in charge. His trial was set for November 7. . The air of-Virginia is just now full of duels and challenges to mortal combat. Oil Saturday Mr.-H. H. Riddleberger, a leading Readjuster of that state, fought:twa duels or rather was to fight two. " Hia oppments were G. D. Wise and R. F. Beirne, Democrats, and the latter editor of the Richmond State. The trouble v was political differences growing out ofpublications in the Richmond newspapers. ; Nobody was hurt, and "amicable relations" were soon restored."';' 1 ; This movement promises the emancipation of the colored children of the District of Columbia from thederradjug discrimination against them on ac shadow of. law." Every colored person ni the District, indeed every , one throughout the whole country, should take a personal interest in this case, and give it all the encouragement in their power. ' .' in every timate . way, Pres.dent Arthur will aijthe movemeut and the indications . are the Readjuster ticket will sweep the state by twenty-five or thirty thousand majority. The move ment is fraught with good, not only to Virginia but to the entire South, and the Nation at large. It promises the emancipation of the south from shot gun and 'tissue-ballot campaigns,, and the demoralizing rule of an unscrupu lous' thievish, minority. A 3Ioove For Mixed Schools. A permanent organization has been formed at Washington, D.(C, with Capt, O.'iBatL' head, for the purpose ' of resisting,' through the courts, the exclusion of colored children from the so called white schools of the District, -The case of the exclusion of Prof; Gregory's little boy, Will be made a test case if the school authorities refuse .-.to admit him,as .now .' seems probable,It has been decided to raise five hundred dollars, the greater part of which Jias been subscribed '' for the purpose, of; retaining counsel. We have also been reliabiyJnforme4lthat . Colonel R. G. Ingereol has. tendered his services to Capt "Wail, - and declined any compensation. w " ' - . - ' ' Elx-Senator Bruce and The Cabinet.

with the President in his deliberations

on this subject. We feeJ assured that the President can make no appointment that will be received with more general favor by the country. The colored people have been devoted unswerving allies of the Republican party ever since their enfranchisement. They have asked and received but little in the wav of official recognition. " It has been charged bv Southern Democrat that Northern Republicans are unwilling to concede to the colored people that recognition which the south is condemned for denying. The elevation of Senator Bruce to this distinguished position, would do much to dispel this idea. As Register of the Treasury Mr. Bruce has won the admiration of all with whom he has come in contact. He has thoroughly demonstrated his capacity for any position within the gift of the President. Yorktown. Wednesday last was centennial day at Yorktown, Va. Just one hundred years previous, on the 19th of October, 1781, Lord Comwallis commander in chief of the British garrison struck his colors and he and his command became prisoners of war to the allied Amarican and French forces under command of Washington, Lafayette and Count Rochamleau. Some of the descendants of Lafayette, Steuben and other foreign officers, are now the guests of the Nation and as such attended the celebra tion at Yorktown this week. The event was characterized with great pomp and ceremony. The President and Cabinet together with many other distinguished Ief sons graced the occasion with their presence and it is safe to say that not since nor lefore Cornwallis's surrender has Yorktown ever seen such a large assemblage of people for peaceful . pur poses. The centennial was in every re spect a great success and we shall await the coming of the two-hundredth anniversary with pleasure. Kx-Seuator Bruce in Ohio Fx-Senator Bruce had a crowded house at the court house in Chillicothe on Monday evening, and hundreds went away unable to gam admittance. Mr. T r . . . il r 11 rruce is rainer a nne icoKing man, a pleasant and impressive speaker, " and at times eloquent. His wife who is a Cleveland lady, accompanies him on his tour, and was present in the hall.. As her reputation as an accomplished lady had long preceeded her, she drew quite as much attention as her distinguished husband, and held quite a levee at the close of the meeting, a large number bf I I' ?A? . 1 , . our leading citizens Demg introaucea to her. She is a very pleasant looking lauy, tan, wim Drown nair, regular leatures, and a complexion which our lady friends would unhesitatingly descrieb as lovelv. bciota Uazeue. It has been suggested by the Galves ton biectator that the colored editors send to the President of the Press Asso ciation, copies of their first number af ter the death of President Garfield, the same to jq filed, bound and presented to 31rs. Uarheld. We heartily endorse the suggestion. Exchanges will please; consider the matter in their next issue and if favorable the president will take action next week. Chicago Omservatfyr, We second the Spectator's proposition and the requisite copy of the Leader awaits the order of the President of the1 Press Association. 1 O I t l undrew caunaers, colored, was hanged at Covinsr, Tenn. for the mur der of a white man who had outraged his wife. On the gallows he made a speech, in which he said: "I die inno cent hat I did I would do again. Dont you be afraid of the shot gun nor nothing, but deiend your wives as I have. If a nigger interferes with a , white woman, the white man kills him, and there is nothing said about it, but if a white man takes a colored man's wife and the colored man kills him, he is hung for it, as i am to-day. Uate UUy rress. The colored citizens of Lexinsrton Ky. are. rapidly approaching that ne plus ultra of perfection, which is so conducive as to demand the respect of all classes of people. They are owners of land in and out ot the city, line dwellings, farms, race and trotting horses, all kinds ot blooded stock, lhey are engaged in nearly all departments of trade. Owners of livery and sale stables; dealers in stoves and fancy tin ware ;owners of confectionaries and hotels. Exchange. Geo. L. Seaton, a colored man of Alexandria, .

A VERY BAD DAME FORTUNE.

Practices Tnat houiu .Disgrace me Oiit-oMhe-Way Dens of Large Cities ; In Full Operation in iub very aiiusi. of the Capital or the Hoosier Commonwealth. Indianapolis Sentinel, October 17.J it isno wonder that crime Is steadily on the increase in this city, said a gentleman to a Sentinel scribe a few days ago. 'I can't for the life of me see how some persona can Uye within the shadows of our church spires and commit the crimes they do. Do you know hundreds of young girls and married j women, too, who should know better, are oeing uaj cinj by the influences of old hags who are known fortune tellers the reporter replied that he had heard of such things in other cities, but was not aware that such doings were being carried on in Indianapolis. "Why," said he, "I know of a youug mar ried lady who had one of the best of husbands, who has within the past few months been tolled away from all that is true and good by one of these women calling herself a for- ... 1 1 .l.v l.n.l t . tune teuer ana a ua&e man i na. u- . i i i i ..i i come cnarmea Dy uer ueauiy, aim now she is an outcast If you would like to investigate this matter and make it public, I will ten you wnere one oi these persons live." He gave the reporter the name and number of a fortune teller residing in the northwestern part of the city. Said he, "Ifjyou will go up and tell her that a friend sent you and pretend to want your fortune told, I have no doubt that she will expose to you her scheme of roping thoughtless young girls and foolish married women into her clutches." The reporter took the proffered address, and a day or two after the above conversation, sauntered np the street named. He found a neat Utile cottage, painted in the purest white, with green shutters, and a pretty lawn in front. Upon the side of the house was a tin sign which read: "Madame' , fortune teller. The past, present and future made clear to all." He knocked on the front door, which was opened by a tall, sparebuilt, sandy-haired woman that might have seen the snows of thirty winters or those of fifty. She very politely asked the knight of the pencil in, showed him to a feeat, and then inquired: - ' "Did you come ' to have your future read.?" Yer'; The reporter hardly knew what to say. He had not visited her to have his future read, but to try and learn something of her past history and more especially to learn her mode oi carrying on her business. The reporter replied that he did not know whether he wished his fortune told or not; he had but little faith in such things, but a friend who was acquainted with her had told him that she could do wonder.ful things. "O," said she, "maybe you have some lady friend whose fortune you would like to have told? I am a good hand at such matters. Now, if you would like to have some lady's future read. I will pro to her house and tell her all about her future life, and will only charge vou $1 for my ser vices." - Now the reporter was in deep water. He did not want his own future read. nor had he a lady friend (?) whose future he cared to have read, and he was just on the eve of don ning his hat and bidding the woman good afternoon, when she said: . "l do lots oi work for the rich young gen tlemen of this city. Why, only the other day a rich young man eave me $50 to fix it so that he could get acquainted with a young and beautiful married lady. I did it and earned my money. You see all us folks have to live for is money. How did you accomplish the matter of bringing these two people in a position so tney could become acquainted; asked the wonderned reporter. "That was easy enough. You see, all you have to do is to give me the name of the lady you want to see; whether single or married, where she lives and a description of her, and I will be sure to fix it so you can meet her, no matter whethefr she be rich or poor. "But, madam, how do you manage the affair? Is it not difficult?" "No, sir. You see I have arranged it fot and havo novor hoon antrrit xrof Ynii fcnnl after I get the address of the lady you desire to see, and a description of her so that I will know.her when I see her, I fix myself up a4 a peddler of trinkets, and go to the house to sell my goods. When the right lady comes and looks at my stock (and I always - hx it so she will look at some of my goods): I catch her by the hand and begin telling her something about herself (which you have already told me). You see that gets her interested. I tell her that sne cas a orient tuture. or that she is in suw um a viigui uiuic, yJi ilia i sue JS ill danger of some great trouble, and then give her the number of my house and tell her if she will call on me on such a day. at such an hour, that I will furnish her with a stone that will act - as a talisman for her, and warn her of trouble' Dy changing its color. Ninety-nine times out 01 a hundred she will agree to call on me, and then I let the gentleman know the aay and hour that sue will be at my house, ana he can drop in to have his for tune told. I . will introduce the two, and tuen they can do what they please. There is hardly a day but what I am employed in this , kind of work, and I tell you I have some of the finest looking young ladies in we city can at my house." . "What are your charges for this kind of work?" .0 that depends on how much trouble I am put to and the size ot the gentleman's pocketbook for whom I am doing the work. My prices range from $1 to $75. You see I run a much greater risk in visiting the houses of rich persons and securing an in terview with the young lady or the lady of tne nouse than I do 111 poor families. Sometimes I have to make a number of Visits to a rich man's house before I can see his daughter, and have to play several . dif? ferent roles. Of course I do not always Dlav Seddler, but rig myself up in all kinds of isguises. You see this little home of mine? I have bought it with the money I have maae in tms way." ... Alter me aoove conversation tne woman seemed to feel that she was talking most too much regarding hei mode of operations, in tolling virtuous women . into her toils, and refused to talk further on the subject. The reporter applied the pumping process, but it would not work. The old woman s mouth was closed as tight as an oyster on the subject of securing young women for base and unprincipled men who visit and secure aid in ruining the , wife, daughter or sister of some honest and honorable man. This is all going on right under the very nose of ' the . police, who never seem to in?uire Into such ; things. It would be well or ladies to watch these , old . women who visit their homes for the purpose of "ped dling trinkets," and who see In their hands "a good or bad future." The reporter, when he found that the woman would talk no fur ther regarding her occupation of sin, prom-

jseu 10 can again and nave nis iuture reau, and then left the degraded creature with the intention of blocking her little game, if possible. ' . . . . . . He Kept the Money. A Southern Baptist paper tells the follow ing story of Church discipline: 'A colored brother et tied in a neighborhood to teach school aid agreed to take his pay in produce. After awhile the pastor of the colored Church kindly offered to collect the produce fur the teacher. The offer was accepted, anl the preacher bor. rowed a pair of oxen aid a wagon from one of the sisters of the Church to carry out his offer. " Going around. b soon gathered In a wagon-load of stuff:'' Hi ruccess was good. but instead of deliverittr the produce to the teacher and the. wagöi and oxen to the sister, he drove eff to i neighboring town and sold everything--wagon, : oxen :and produce putting, the oneyinhis pocket and saying nothi nir aboit iL In due time he was before his.

upon the duty and. sweets of forgiveness, reminding his hearers that the Lord! Jesus prayed for tho forgiveness of those who put him to death, aud faidr-'If Jesu3 could do" that, it wa3 a small thing for them to for. ive each other lor stealing a hog or anything like that.' He then reminded the sister whose oxen he had sold of the time when the devil a a roaring lion, going about seeking whom he might devour somebody, had her in hi paws;, and he came along and shot him with Gospel bullets and made hini turn, her loose. , . ." . .''The congregation wa deeply moved, the teacher and tiater with the rest. The pastor then proposed to hold a forgiving meeting, and f aid: 'JSow, a many oi you as is willing to flrgiv3 everybody and live together in fellowship come and give your pastor the hand while we singVnen I can read my title cloar.' The hymn was sung with a will, and amidst sobs and shouts they all, except those too much affected, teacher and sister too, gave him the hand. Thuj ended tho matter, and the pasior, forgiven, 'went his way, to shoot the devil with more Gospel bullets; hut he kept the money.'' The lesson is plain. Keligion is good, but not without honesty.

The Water Workö Question A Divided Committee The Brush Electric Light Subject Ordinances Introduced. The Common Council met in regular session Monday night, with His Honor Mayor Grublxs in the Chair. The Committee on Contracts in regard to the projK)sed erection of a new Market House rejorted that plain were not expected at the sums named, and recommended that the City Clerk advertise for a sketch or drawing showing the style of building that would be erected on the East Market space for a City Hall and Market House, to cost from $150,000 to $220,000, the sum of $200 to be paid for the most complete and satisfactory drawing. Referred to Committee on Public Buildings. The City Civil Engineer, in behalf of J. D. Hoss, reported the total sum for curbing the sidewalks and "bowldering the gutters of Lockerbie street, from East to Liberty, to be $SO0.ö2. Approved. The bonds oi Henry C. Roney and W. J. Freaney for contracts awarded, as reported by the City Engineer, were approved. The Ilaper Commandery, in accordance with the motion passed by the Council asking them to give an exhibition drill at Garfield Park acceded to the request, and named 3 o'clook, Tuesday, October 25, as the time for said drill. A report was received from the City Civil Engineer trat II. S. Lathrop, to whom was awarded the' contract for painting the city bridges, had failed to file the required bond, and therefore could not do the work at the prices bid. The mortalitv report of the Board of Health showed sixty-nine deaths in Indianapolis from September 30 to October 15.
