Oct 9. James M. Trotter, the colored bourbon whom Mr. Cleveland imported from Boston and appointed recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, recently joined with Charles H. J.

Frederick Douglass, conclusively proves the absurdity of the claim of Messrs.

Said oae of our brightest best and most critical ladies to Thk Timks society reporter last evening, on being asked about Mrs. Laing'a reception, "It was one of the most elegant and delightful receptions I ever attended," and then the lady very pleasantly recited a panegyric, which, could it be reproduced, would make almost any society repoiter in the country green with envy. A personal investigation proved that this grand dame had told "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," for the was another one of those social gatherings "that are adding so much to this fair name and fame of this city of beautiful houses and refined society.

It was all that could be desired. The guests entered the house through the cozy and comfortable library, a place well stocked with food for the mind, and also made pleasant by easy chairs of different shapes in which the body could get needed rest while enjoying the books. Herein was stationed r-chubert's orchestra, which discoursed "mueic sweet and low" while the reception progressed.

President Terkes opened a conference with an offer to correct the present system of hours as far as possible. An agreement was reached on this point, but when the wage question was taken np the men insisted on 25 cents per hour for the grip men, 23 cents for trail and grip conductors ana 22 cents for horse ear men.

The bill made the appropriation for "humane reasons." The president had recommended it on the ground of national honor. The calendars of the house were groaning with bills which should have passed for humane reasons and for reasons befitting national honor. If justice were to be done it should first be done at home.

In each of his suicidal attempts there were friends present who rescued him. Early in the winter of 1881 he disappeared from his home.
