The Press Convention. Tire third annual session of the Na tional Colored Press Association con veues in Washington, D. C, 27th. It is supposed there will be a pretty full representation of the various papers throughout the country published in the interest of the colored people. The meeting can certainly do no harm, and may be productive of much good in a newspaper and general sense. It is probably too early in the history of colored newspapers for such a gatherins to be attended with the same signiticance as would attend a like gathering of white journalists, but we are cominjr to the front, and the time is not far distant when our press will exert a far more salutary influence on public affairs than it now does. Our papers . are in their infancy, but are multiplying very rapidly. We shall be represented at Washington, and hope that the meeting of the Association may in every respect be successful. Can You Tell? Can anybody give a sensible reason why it is that a colored driver may be coachman and confidential servant for the so-called "best families" in the country, and are at the same time not eligible to the position, of street car driver? If he may handle the ribbons and hold in check the blooded stock drawing the barouche of the president of the street railway company, why is it that he is disqualified to stand on the the front platform and engineer the equine motive power by which the wheeled convenience or inconvenience, as the case may be, is impelled onward? Can anybody elucidate? Again, why is it that a Negro may be a policeman, fireman, councilman, legislator, congressman, and yet not eligible to a clerkship in a mercantile house or railway olfice? If he is deemed competent to assist in making and enforcing the vast complexity of legal regulations necessary to trovcrn the intercourse of citizens and States, the one with the other, why is he debarred when the oucstion of hirinsr a man to sell calico and sugar, or to copy accounts and square books, is under consideration? The color of his cuticle will not rub off on any of these goods or books so as to depreciate or injure them. r urther why is it that, while in a large portion of the country white and colored dhildren are educated side by side in the same school, the "no nigger need apply" regulation is pasted over nearly all the doorways to the appren tice shops? Colored children have the same instinctive feelings, aspirations, and the like, a3 the white children by whom they are surrounded, and if there is a just reason for so infamous and damnable a discrimination against them, it ought to be known. And again, can any one give a plaus iblc reason why so many devout chris" tians feel such an abhorence to worship ping God in the same church, side by eide with colored people, especially when none of the various creeds any distinction in Heaven on account of color? If there is no discrimination against redeemed sinners of a dark hue around the Great White Throne, why

hould there be so much here on this In

consequential footstool? .Still further, we 'would like to know if. it' can be reasonably accounted for n any, sensible grounds why so many people in this, country object to riding in cars vitli colored people, and eating in in the same dining room with theni.es-oeciallv-when the eatables have lecn through all their various stages of nut uipulation necessary to prepare them for the table frone through black hands? J W I It hardly seems possible that any sane person could object to eating in the dining room, even at the same table with respectably and neatly clad ; col ored gentleman and ladies, and not ohject to eating victuals that has passed , u u.. ILiruuifll inj utucx uut uiui;a. uauug. Of course the answer arrived at im mediately by the smart Aleck of the proscriptive class is, "Because you are Negroes." But, we ask, . why should such discrimination be made against Negroes? There is of course no iust and reasanable answer, iuany men oi distinction have crossed the barrier . ,..:u,t . r l mutuiau.c difficulty. Richard M.

But race and color prejudice is a queer thing. leading article is a profound and sympathctic stu.ly of "Emerson as a ioetf" by Ldwin 1. Whipple. The author has scarcely , . t formg d m0(le8 f rrcssion? and cheerfully concedes thatEmeras a seer, as one wno pas intuition oi tne a 1 P . 1 deeper truths of nature and the moral universe, in short, as a poet in the highest sense of the word, huierson must take rank with the greatest geniuses of all time. In "Hydraulic Pressure in Wall Street." a writer who withholds his name but manifestly is no novice, exposes many ol the tricks and deviccs by nj-ans of which fictitious values are createtl, and the unwary lured daily to ruin. Desire Cham ay contributes the eleventh article in the series on "The Kuins of Central America," and records the crowning triumph of his exploring expedition, namely, the discovery of a great ruined city in the hitherto unexplored country of the Lacandones, Guatemala. There are two papers on the civil service; one, "The Things which remain," by (Jail Hamilton, who labors to relieve the civil service from the aspersions cast upon it on account of Guiteau's crime; the other, "The Business of Ol'-fice-Seeking," by Richard Grant White, who forcibly portrays the moral ills that come from the perennial struggle for place.' Finally, Francis Marion Crawford, son of the eminent American sculptor, writes of "False Taste in Art," and indicates certain directions in which art culture might be developed under the conditions of life existing in the United States. The Review is for sale by booksellers and newsdealers generally. GENERAL NOTES. The fattest man in Maine Is dead. Ills name was Joel IJarry, and he weighed 400 pounds. Mr. Tensyson, now la his seventy-second year, is able to read very little, his eyesight being sadly impaired. A Wecster Memorial Association is proposed in Boston to purchase and hold in trust the birthplace of Daniel Webster. The veteran politician, John Wentworth, of Illinois, has nominated ex-Secretary Kirkwood, of Iawa, for President in 18S4. Professor C. V. Riley has deposited in the National Museum at Washington his collection of Insects, comprising 150,000 epecimens and 30. 000 species. When a "prominent" politician is asked about this time whether there are any candidates for Congress in his neighborhood, the usual answer Is, "Why, bless your soul, the woods are full of them." Mr. Thomas Hcches, according to the Liverpool Courier, is financially ruined by the failure of the Rugby Colony in Tennessee. It Is alleged that Mr. Hughes was duped aad flattered into; the enterprise by sharpers in the United States. Oscar Wilpe is changing his costume frequently during his second Western tour. In Cincinnati he wore a swallow-tailed coat of black velvet, lined with red silk, knee-breeches and waistcoat of black satin, black silk stockings, and masses of lace in place of shirt bosom and cuffs. A feeble fight against lotteries is being mad in the Louisiana Legislature. One proposition to abolish them through an amendment to the State Constitution was indefinitely postponed. A concurrent resolution asking for the passage by Congress of an amendment to the Constitution of the United States prohibiting any State from granting charters to lotteries aroused much merriment. As extraordinary tricycle journey has been accomplished by the Vice President ot the Lyons Bicycle Club, accompanied by his wife, on a twoseated machine. The travellers went from Lyons, through Nice, Genoa and Rome to Naples, returning by Florence and Turin, the whole journey representing a distance of some 2,300 miles, being accomplished at an average of about fifty to sixty miles a day on the road. Julia II fin em an was a singer in a low St. Louis variety hall. Her brother went Into the place, fired a pistol at her, ami explained that, though he loved her dearly, he would kUl her rathei than let her continue ia such employment He was a Southern gentleman of good family, he said, and could not bear social disgrace. It turned out, however, that Julia bad paid his board for a year, and that his indignation was not aroused until she refused to support him longer. The Pall Mill Oazetta of May 18 says: "If Mr. Joseph Saunders, a writer of plays, on whom an inquest was held yesterday, could have conceived many situations as dramatic as hia own death, be would probably have made a mark in his profession, lie was, it seems, found dead in the miser able room in Stepney -vhlch he had occupied lo th 6 last five years. With part of his body lying under the bedstead, in his left hand he held his pipe, his pen being close to his right hand. The room contained an old table and a bedstead! no mattres , no bcdclothing, waa to be seen. There was no food seven pence-half penny was all the money in his possession. An unfinished -drama on 'Drink' was open on the table. He had died of starvaUon." At a recent meeting of the Ross County (Ohio) Medical Society all the physicians present were puzzled to the verge of imperfection by the mys terious affliction of a woman who bad consid erately offered heiself for examination. One of the doctors who had previously attended her explained that, upon several occasions, he had re moved from a wound in her hand numerous pieces of bone, without apparently diminishing the supply. A similar operation was then per formed in the presence of the Society. In the gen eral amazement which followed, one of the mem here retained sufficient sense to suggest a microscopical examination of the bones which had been removed under his eyes. This simple test proved that they were chicken-bones, whereupon the womun, seelrg that the game was up. confessed that she had placed them where they were found. She refused, however, to say what xnoüve bad influenced her to undergo the conse quent pain and inconvenience.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

The Next Congress Indications That the House Will be Republican Mr. Paul Titiane' Elucationnl Gift to New OrleansPersonal and Miscellaneous News. Washington, D. C, June 18th The most important feature about the approaching Fall elections is the I struggle lor the control of the next House of lvepresentatives. r or a time after the spring elections the Democnicy entertained high hopes of making cnHifMniir rriiina f o nlncA thorn in control . - OU.W.V... - l I of that bod v again, and there was even a ' disposition in certain circles to concede the grounus upon wnicn mese nopes were based; but as the issues crystallize, . i l i l ä a,nd the time. Wroache , for begjning the struggle m earnest, the conviction becomes settled that victory is within the grasp of the Republican forces, if harmony and proper management prevails. K The recent election in Oregon . may be taken as a pretty fair index of the general drift of public sentiment with reference to the two parties, and the T- 'a .11- i rousing liepuDiican majority roiiea up for George and the whole ticket, may be taken as an earnest of what the Pacific Slope and the Central west may le to do Owinjr to the exciter ex peCtea to do. Owincr to the excitement and exasperation in some circles over the vetoe of the twenty-year Chinese exclusion bill, the Democracy, with great reason, expected to carry Califor nia and Uregon. Ihey reckoned without their host, lhe West is Republican, and every new State added to the sister hood lessens the chances for ultimate Democratic success. The leaders of the party know this, and hence their opposition to the admission of Dakota. lhe troubles in Pennsylvania are unfortunate, and unless compromised mav lead to Republican losses. It is not too late yet, however, to secure harmony in the old Keystone State, and thus present an unbroken front to the com mon enemy. Much reliance is felt by Republicans generally upon making gains in many districts of the South, especially those which are naturally Republican by vir tue of a numerical majority. All sucl districts will be closely contested, am in many Democratic districts, Indcjien dents, like Chalmers and Speer, wil antagonize the regulars, and will have a the sympathy and supjort of Kepublicans. Colonel D. B. Henderson, of Iowa, a very efhicientand capable organizer, ' A t 1 1 'll II II IS at, tne neaa oi tne ivcpuoiican congressional campaign committee, and 1 1 1 a . a win leave no stone unturned that may legitimately contribute to success in the contest. The unseating of the counted-in members from the South to make place for those really elected, will also prove a powerful stimulant to the vitality of the campaign in that section. This well begun work is not yet finished, but Major Calkins may le relied upon to push it with vigor. It is altogether likelv that several other contests will tie settled before the adjournment of Congress. The sub-committee on elee tions has already reported in favor of Mr. Smalls against Tillman, Democrat, of South Carolina. Judge Lee, of the same State, will also receive his seat, now held by the Bourbon Richardson. The New York Times, usually correct in its figures, predicts a Republican majority of twenty-one in the next House, and sustains its prediction by very reasonable deductions from the probable losses and gains of both parties in all sections of the country. The Democratic papers as usual, however, claim everything. Mr. Paul Tulane, a retired merchant, living at Princeton, New Jersey, recently donated projerty worth two million dollars to the city of New Orleans, where he amassed his wealth, for the education of the white young men of that city. The time will doubtless come when the people of New Orleans will be ashamed that such an institution as will le founded through Mr.. Tulane's mixed generosity aud race prejudice exists in their midst. The day will come when every section of the country will heartily detest the foolish race discriminations of the present, but there will stand Mr. Tulane's distinctions enforced by testamentary execution made for the express purpose of proscribing a majority of the young men of Louisiana. But this benevolent man is too old and hardened in the feelings of the past to imagine that a better day is dawning for the whole country when such practices as- he wishes to j)erpeiuate will be looked upon as foolish and mischievous in the extreme. Girard College, of Philadelphia, founded and supported by the munificence of the eccentric Frenchman ofthat name, is hampered by a similar Erovision in its charter, I understand, ut then he died many years ago when there seemed a possibility that slavery instead of freedom would triumph, and thus he disposed of his wealth in such a manner as to be in consonance, as he doubtless thought, with the ruling sentiment of the ccuutrv. Vice President David Davis recently went to Wilmington, Delaware, to attend the deathlxxl of Perry Veasey an aged colored man who once belonged to Mr. Davis' uncle, and who was his constant companion in his younger days, previous to his manumission. Paris, France, has recently had a genuine sensation in the attempt at suicide of an ex-Hay tien minister, and who bore the title of Countess. She did not succeed. W. A. Pledger, collector of customs at Atlanta, Georgia, is in the city. He predicts large Republican and In dependent gains in the approaching elections. I hear that another colored hoy has j been appointed to West Point., but I do not know his name r his residence. Judge A. B.

uuceu. . VJI mese none are more ueserv-; ing of honorable mention than the late Thos. Dorscy, who was popularly known as the Delnionico of Philadel phia. Mr. ' Dorse v was born a slave in Marvland in the vear 1882. After reaching manhood he purchased his . . . - . ... freedom and removed to Philadelphia. Adopting the profession of a caterer he soon achieved an enviable popularity and "Dorsey's dinners' acquired a na tional reputation. By assiduous devotion to bnsiness he amassed a handsome fortune. Deprived of the advantages , , . - . 1 f I an my euucuuou ueveriueie u v reading and by intercourse with the many distnguithed men from every section of the country with whom he was brought in daily contact he acquired a rare stock of knowledge and a broad culture. An apostle of that famous bid fashioned southern hospitality, Mr. Dorseys house soon became a sort of rendezvous for the old anti-slavery leaders. ;John Brown, Wiilliam Loyd Garrison, Charles Sumner and Fredrick I Douglass were among Mr. Dorseys per-! uuiii menus. lie took a deep interest in the antißlavery agitation and in everything that pertained to the elevation ot the race, which interest he kept up to the day of his death. Large hearted and generous he was ever ready to give liberally to any movement for the elevetion of the race, and maDy a colored youth 1 ! ..1 received irom mm substantial encour agement in his pursuit of an education. In 1öü, after a very brief illness Mr. Dorsey pissed away leaving a wife and threre children, a son and two daughters. Since then he has been fol lowed by the mother and eldest daugb ter so tnai now, tne only surviving members ot the family are John II. Dorsey, of Philadelphia, and Mrs. Mamie, Harlan, the youngest daughter and wife of Robert Harleu Esq. of this city, son ot Col. Robert Harlan of Cm cinuati Ohio. Mr.Dorsey gave all of his children a good education. The soil is an artist o very clever attainments. Some of his landscape paintings are very beautifu indeed. I am told that he has at his home in Philadelphia the best collection of anti-slavery documents and library productions of colored men extant the product of his own and his fathers col lections. Mr. Dorsey was a lover of art aud filled his spacious parlors with rare and beautiful paintings, statuettes bronzes and brie a brae of every de scription. rh rough the kindness of Mr. aud Mrs. Harlan I have had the pleasure of examining many of these interest ing relics at their elegant residence on N street, this city. Among the paint ings is a life size picture of the death of Hani kill by a colored painter naimed John Chaplane Fine oil paintings of Charles Sumner, John Brown, Fredric Douglass, Wendell Phillips, Thaddeus Stevens and others. I had the pleasure also over a large number autograph letters lrom all ol the persons named above and from mam" others of the anti-sla very leaders. A prized heir loom in the family is a liead-stead upon which old .John Brown frequently slept at Mr. Dorsey s house. Thos. J. Dorsevs life aptly illustrates what mav be achieved by a man who starts in life with no capital but indus try integrity and business tact. There are many interesting relied of this re markable man in Mr. and Mrs. Harlans pleasant home that I should like to de scribe did space permit. Indeed I should like to say something about the elegant and pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. Harlan. Mrs. Harlan is a lady of such culture and elegance of manners and so modest, frank aud unassuming with all, that to become acquainted with her is to become an admiring friend. Two of the prettiest and sweetest children in Washington, little Rob and Louise, Mr. and Mrs. Harlan seem in their home the very picture of. happiness. There is no pleasantor home in Washington than that of jolly big hearted Bob Har lan and Iiis genial wife. wuiie a ureeze nas oeen created in S" 4 1 1 1 colored Baptist circles of this citv by 4i. l r ai i " f im, expulsion ui one oi ineir leauing ministers, Rev.

V llliam thinks it is much ado about nothing, especially when he con templates the fact that until a few weeks ago a man might have twenty wives and come to Congress from the strongest territory in the West. Br'er Williams made a mistake in comintr to Washington instead of going to Salt Lake when he left Alexandria. Va. Amoug important bills introduced lately are the following: To extend the present Executive Mansion; to provide lor the accession of Cabinet officers to the Presidency in case of the death of loth President and Vice President; to retire the trade dollar; and to make the term of collectors of internal revenue four years. The House has passed the general appropriation bill, and also the naval and pension bills. The latter appropriates one hundred millions for the payment of invalid pensions for the ensuing fiscal year. j Since I wrote my last letter I have learned that the Kansas people of whom I soke are here mainly for the pur pose oi securing permission to colored settlers to go into the Indian Territory. It appears that the federal laws exclude only white people from that territory; and besides the lands these people wish to settle are not now occupied by Inminis, a iie oujeci is not a oau one, and would be productive of good should it succeed. To allow colored settlers to go in now would give them a few vears start of the white settlers, for e le Indian lerntory is bound to be opened to settlement at an early date. Justice Jiradley has denied the writ of habeas corpus asked for by Guiteau's lawyer, and it seems that legal quibbles in the tssassin's behalf are exhausted. j He still relies in being saved by his lawyers or through executive clemency, a delusion which will probably not de-

Davitt Arrives In New York He Explains His Mission to America and - Defends His Liverpool Speech Proposed Aid for the Tenant Farmer. New York," June 18. As already an nounced the steamship GermaDic, which took on board at Queenstown, Ireland, the patriot and Land League organizer, Michael Davitt, arrived here last night. JiFire Island and Sandy Hook failing to report the ap proach of the much waited for steamer, the first intimation the Citizens' Reception Committee had of the presence of the Germanic, was that conveyed by the rattling of her chains as she dropped anchor at quaran tine coon after midnight. ' The Citi zens' Committee and many guests boarded the steamer Blackbird at the Battery early in the afternoon of Saturday and steamed to .the quarantine dock, there to await the news of the sighting of the vessel news which never came. The company included Sahna Davitt, a sister of the hero. While awaiting the steamer the time was pleasantly spent in singing, recitations and other exercises. A trip to Coney Island was proposed but abandoned, as the Blackbird was tied securely to the dock, and the steam allowed to become exhausted and the fires banked. Supper was partaken of at the Italian Hote, near the dock, and the articles needed for the comfort of the party procured. A Committee consistini of P. Foley and A. E. Ford visited the rf sidence of the Health Officer and secured a permit to take Davitt from the ocean vessel and carry him up the bay to the city. His coming was impatiently waited for. The Citizens' Committee had arranged a very pleasant order of exercises, which, however, fell through owing to the circumstances noted above attending Davitt's arrival. This Droeramme included an earnest address of I welcome by Professor J. P. Brophy, on the part of the citizens of JSew YorK. After midnicht, when the rattling of the chains proclaimed the arrival of some ves' sei, there was much anxiety as to whether it was the Uermanic or the Spain, also due. The new arrival proved to be the Germanic, the Spain arriving half an nour later, .roiey ana rora immediately nut off in a small boat and boarded the vessel. Fcrd soon returned with the welcome intelligence that Davitt was on board and in eood health. He brought with him Mr. Redmond, who received a hearty reception in the absence of his chief. Mr. Folev remained on board tne Germanic with Mr. Davitt. After much delav steam was raised on the Blackbird and an attemnt made to Ret alongside the steamer, but the Captain of the latter would not nernnt this, and the Blackbird was com pelled to return to New York, where she arrived about 4 o'clock with Redmond, but without the greater gust, Davitt. Tne reason Davitt did not come aboard the Blackbird was shouted from the deck of the Germanic by Foley, who stated it was an impossibility for Davitt, with only one arm to swing himself into the small boat, and that he could be seen at the Company's pier as he landed from the steamer Germanic, which was at her dock at the foot of West Tenth street by 7:30 Sunday morning, aud Davitt accompanied by only one friend, was hurridly drawn to the Everett House, Union Square, where a suit of rooms had been engaged for him. and which adjoins the old MoiTatt mansion, the headquarters of the Fenans in the days of the ascendency in this country. There was no demonstration whatever, and the proposed reception proved an utter failure. The affair had been badly managed, seeming to be without a head, every body giving orders and no one obeying them. Davitt seemed not at all displeased, but rather satisfied. He had not to listen at least to one, and probably two, long addresses, and make responses. At the hotel Davitt cordially invited a number of reporters who awaited his coming to his apartments, and after removing some of his traveling gear, eat down and informed the scribes that he was at their service, and willing aud ready to answer any oral questions that' might be put to him. He was asked first as to his plans. These were, he stated, twelve days' lecturing through the States, under the auspices of a Committee of the Land League, between this city and Chicago. He had intended speaking at Boston Saturday night, but tne ice bergs and fog prevented his arrival in time. He should, however, proceed to Boston Tuesday, and maybe speak .there in the evening. The object of his visit wa3 two-fold, first, to con tradict the rumors of a split in the Land League movement or likelihood of there being a difference be tween Parnell and himself. Second, to ex plain the work done in Ireland by the La dies' Land League in sustaining evicted people, building houses and the mainte nance in the law Courts of tenants' rights. Miss Parnell had been interested with the report of the League since its initiation, a copy of which would be sent to all branches and to tne public through the press. "In my speech in the Academy of Music." said he, "I shall deal with the present situation in Ireland, and will give the details of the new departure, the new schemes, and explain away these rumors of a rupture between Parnell and myself, bo far as they are con cerned, you may say that we are in perfect accord, and I consider affairs in Ireland were never in so hopeful condition. My Liverpool speech, of which only garbled fragments have been published here and used to misrepresent me, was not intended to controvert the old rogramme, but was in reply to the challenge of the Tory press. I defy any one who reads that speech to say that it is communistic in its nature. It is simply an explanation of the cry, "The land for the neoDle." and to show how it affects Parnell and myself I shall simply quote from it The quotation was: ''In doing this I shall ay myself open to suspicion of dilTering rom Mr. Parnell and most of my colleagues n the Land League movement: but the fact is there is not a particle more of difference in the opinion between the member for Cork and myself upon this question than there was when we first stood together upon the public platform inWestport three years ago." Parnell advocated peasant proprietary. I am in favor of the land becoming the National property of Ireland. If & peasant proprietary is conceded, either by Lord Salisbury when he gets into power, or by Gladstone before he gets out, I am perfectly satisfied that the purchase money that must be advanced by the State for carrying out such a scheme will become the title deed of the State to the land. Believing this to be inevitable from the growing poverty of Irish agriculture, I am almost indifferent as to whether Parnell's plan or my 1 1 A 1 A 4 it. now De auopiea, nut as l was nrsi to raise the cry, "the land for the people," I think the time has now come for giving ä clear definition of what I mean and propose. I wish to state distinctly, continued Davitt, that no new departure is meant or a split against what has been indorsed by Parnell, and the plan will probably be adopted. It differs only in this, that instead of requiring the tenant farmers to pay the purchase money for the fee simple of land, it would call upon the farmers to pay a land tax that would be equivalent to about

and Lord Salisbury has almost taken this up. I vuean that it sliould be for per petual possession of the land.' I worked the plan out in Portland Prison, and am very sorry I ever left there; but if the landlords are waiting for a difference between Parnell and myself they will wait till the twentieth century, 'iliey might just as well call me a Cannibal as a Communist, and I would be a maaman to propose such a thing. npeasing oi tne coercion bill, Davitt said that since his imprisonment he had traveled mrougn tne most part of Ireland, and thought the peopl viewed the measure with indifference. Of course, the petty annoynces of the bill would arouse the people to outrages, and these the leaders fear, as they tell against them in external opinion and can injure no one but the Land League.. Davitt expresses his condemnation of the cowardly assassinations of friendlvEnjishmen in Phoenix Park, the growinorror! the people at the deed, and said there was a general impression it was the work oW landlords to incite the English people against Parnell's conversion of Gladstone. The only parties who would profit by it wouia oe tnose opposed, to the League and tne odium would fail upon the leaders. Gladstone's position heconsHers critical, particularly in the Egyptian Question and the bringing forward of th arrears bill and second attempt to deaV with the land act and its failure justify the opposition of Parnell. The arrears bill was a confession and the land act a failure. Of Minister Lowell, the agitator said he knew very little, but of his own opinion he thinks the blame lies not so much on Lowell as it does on the Government at Washington. . iie says he will not enter Parliament again, as he can do more effective work outside. Landlordism as a system, he claims, is broken and demoralized, and the question of self-government will follow in the wake of the Land League movement, as politically the landlords are now a myth. Davitt will return at the expiration of two weeks, in order to hold a conference with Parnell and other leaders after the passage of the coercion biil. His Secretary, Redmond, will remain here to complete his political education. The British Government, he said, had considered Redmond such a terror they had locked him up. Later in the day, or immediately after luncheon, the Committee of citizens resumed charge of Daviit and Redmond, and in the parlors of the hotel Professor Brophy read an address of welcome. Dav itt, in response, spoke as follows: Professor Brophy aud GestlemenI wish I could express my appreciation of the welcome extended me on the part of the citizens of Isew orfc as eloquently as you have worded the kindly greeting iust given. I presume no reply is expected from me to the various topics touched upon in the addresses, as I may fairly be expected to deal with them in my public utterances while in this country. I have invariably made it a point to answer all compliments as I reply to adverse criticisms, namely: by my acts in behalf of Ireland. It these have won your kind approval in the past, I am confident nothing will be done by me that will justify the withdrawal of your sympathy in the future. In political movements, as in other affairs, it is impossible for man to please every one, and of course I can not lay claim to exemption from faults that are incidental to everybody. If I trv to serve the cause of Ireland to the best of my ability I hör e I may meet the wishes and fulfill the expectations of my numerous friends on both sides of the At lantic. Thanking you once more, gentle men, for your generous welcome to ew York, I beg you will accept the expression of ray sincerest obligations." After a general handshaking the Committee retired and Davitt spent the remainder of the afternoon writing letters and com pleting the details of his campaign in America. TABLE GOSSIP. You can not make a horse drink. It is different with men. Every one must think in his own way to arrive at truth. Goethe. Passive goodnesa is of little use in the world. Inasmuch as ye did it not" It costs a man more to be miserable than it does to make his family happy. Growth is better than permanence, and permanent growth is better than all. Paris: A woman forgives the audicitv which her beauty prompts us to be guilty of. Paris: Women like balls and assemblies as a nunter likes a place where game abounds. The dogma of fashion for bats and bonnets this spring is: Wear what you please, so that it is becoming. Enough powder is wasted by the army in hooting at sunrise and sunset to kill every Indian in the West. The good houeewives who go to market for the household provender are applying the true coirective for the high prices of beef, pork and mutton. They buy leas. Consumption has been reduced notice ably. N o master of political economy coull have suggested a better, quicker or straighter way out of the dimcuity. A farmer who had some cider to sell was pricing teas and found they had risen several cents a pound. What s made tea riz?' said he. "Scarcity of tea eheste," said the merchant. However, he agreed to take some to be paid for in cider. How much'a your cider?" asked the merchant. "Twenty cents." "Twenty cents 1" cried the merchant. "What are you asking such a price as that for?' "Cause bung-holes is scurce," eaid the farmer. The ladies' new craze of having the hands photographed is hardly new. H Is a variation of a fashion which obtained in London a year or two ago of having the hand modelled in plaster. That fashion went farther. Some ladies had their fe-t modelled, and one fair dame, it was eaid, exhibited a model of her foot, and rather' more than her ankle, under a glass case in her drawing-room. Since hands are photographed are we also to photograph feet? Who can eay? These photographers are lucky fellows. Patrick has a great power of enjoyment after all, and always laughs at the right time. One day he saw a bull attack a man and he had to hold on to his sides with both hands, the scene was so funny. After a little the animal turned his attention in another direction, and poor Patrick, after exploring the heights, came down with a thump on the other side of tho fence. He rubbed his wounds, and as he trudged along the worse for wear he eaid to himself, "Faith, I'm glad I had my laugh when I did or I wouldn t have had it at all." tteally great men are rarely concioai of their fame. .Life to them is much lixe the lives of other wayfarers. The famous Bal zac was once dining with some friends at an inn in Poland, when a young girl entered the room to pour out the tea. She was advancing toward the group with a cup in her hand, when some one remarked, You were saying. M, Balzac " At that moment the cup which the yonng girl was holding dropped to the floor, and ehe clasped her hands, exclaiming, "Can it be the great M. de Balzac?" "For that one instant," wrote Balzac "I tasted the sweetnes of fame." When a certain gentleman of St. Louis died, about a year ago, it was found that he had left to his favorite dog, Dash, a house and lot. The monthly rent from the property was to be applied to the purchase of food for the dog. In this way, the dog's dayi were comfortably provided for, and the gentleman's widow becamo lhe dog's guardian. But "every dog has his day," as the great Shakepeare wrote, and rich dogs as well as poor dogs must dio. So it came about that Dash was one morning found dead in his kennel. True to the last will of her late husband, the widow ordered a costly coffin, bought a lot in a cemetery and buried Dash with great honor. A monument that cost $150 now stands at Lhe head of Dash's grave. ,

A PALATIAL. RESIDENCE.

Mr Boss , B. Wl nans' New Honae, Vfhich Will Blval Vanderbllt'a. IBaltlraore Day The proverbially lavish taste of Mr. Ross R. W inans has been again displayed in a new building which is in course of erection on the east side of St, Paul street, between Biddle and John streets. The structure is -intended as a private residence, to be occupied by Mr. Winans and family, and is said to be the finest private house south of New York. From the plans and specifications of the building the idea of a palace rather than an American dwelling is conveyed. - The structure so far has been completed only to the roof and is as yet in the rough, but when finished its magnificence will riral -anything which has yet been tuilt in Baltimore. . ' ; The lot upon which the house stands is 125 feet front by 122 deep. The house itself is G6 feet front by 75 feet deep, and it is to be five stories high with sloping mansard roof. The style is French renaissance, and the exterior, when completed, will reS semble very closely an old Belgian or French cnaieau, around wnicn fancy seldom lails to cluster clinging ivy and historical associations. What remains of the lot after the bailding has taken up its quota will be transformed by the gardener into a beautiful garden, which is to cost $3). 000. Around the yard and building Mr. Winans has or- -. r.ered a brick enclosure ten feet hieb, and fourteen inches thick, which is to meet at the northern and- southern corners of the ' nouse. xne lnienor oi tne residence is to be as magnificent as the fancy of the owner can : mate it. it is to be of satin, red oak and ebonized cherry woods, inlaid and carved, and in each room there are to be costly beveled mirrors. The hall will run the full length ' of the building, and upon its ornamentation and decoration are to be expended alone $50,000. The cost of the entire buUdding and garden will not be less than $200,000. and in the construction Mr. Winans orderta that no expense be spared. There are rooms in the basement for sixteen servants; also laundry, kitchen, boiler-pit, store-room and drying-room; and upon the first floor there is to be a handsome ball-room, drawing, reception, dining rooms, parlor, and library. The other floors are to be taken np with bed-rooms. - The most striking features In the architect tural appearance of the house are two towers, one at the front and the other at the rear. Thev reach only as far as the cornice, and remind one of the pictures of Kenil worth Castle. At the side of each of the towers rise four circular chimneys, unique in design and made of pressed red brick, with jet black cement, all combined in one. The material of which the house is built is pressed brick and Long Meadow brown stone, and the blending of color is rich and perfect, Building operations were begun this spring, and the house will be finished about November. The Tcurhor' Reward. i Woman at Werk.1 In the morning there are rosy lips to be kissed, and "Thank youV to be given for a few fresh flowers, more for blossoms crushed and wilted by the pressure of little warm bands, flowers with not life sufficient to hold up their drooping heads and with no stems worth mentioning. In the evening there is a strucglo for a place next teacher, and pleadings that ehe Eromiee her arms for tho morro w's walk ome. " ' " The boys, oh, the boys I They dont of4. iL ' l i 4i m i v - ten uiDK oi aoweri, xuey uuv Buuiaiuiug for the teacher. They lay a stick of brown and yellow molasses candy on the desk with an air of importance, or one of red and white peppermint big sticks, mind you and say, That's for you." Or they sidle up, making vigorous exertions to work something out of a pocket. Finally a hard peach or a red apple makes its appearance, and they ask. "Do you want that? They mean it for an offer and would never make another presentation if you were to eay you did not want it. Or they bring tou a flower design in candy, or a big heart, also in candy, generally dirty, ana ornamented with photographs of flngerer.ds; or they grow generous and give you a marble, most frequently a four-timer, sometimes a precious thing that they call a crishtal." Then there are delightful talks at recess when the boye tell teacher about ponies and pigeon-houses and trades and billy-goats and sweet-hearts. And there are the games that never have any tint of quarreling or selfishness while teacher takes a hand. RAILROAD TIME TABLE.
