Use yer nsybura right, but keep a club in reserve fur back yard nuieancss. Let us now purseed to attack de biznees which has assembled us togeder." THEY WBKE PKOTECTED. The Hon. Judiciary Jolinaon then in- troduced a resolution re questing the President to appoint a committee to In- vestigate and report aa to whether, in the â- ecent troubles on the Isthmus, the eoloied people received proper orotection. Brother Gardner replied that he had already investigated the matter, as far as able, and that dae protection was extend- ed to persons of color. The only puint he was in doubt on was whether it was ex- tended by the British or American man- of-war present at the time, and a resolu- tion of thanks, until this point was de- cided, might go astray. DEATH SEIZES ANOTHEB. Trustee Fullback announced that he had received a telegram (charges unpaid) giving the news of the death of Brother Anchovy Gibbs, of Raleigh, N. C, who met his sad istihj falling off the roof of a barn. He would move that a resolu- tion of sympathy be drawn np in the best blue ink and forwarded to the widow. " Did he leave any widder " asked the President. "I-I dunno, sah." " What was he doin' on de roof of dat barn?" '• De telegraff dorn' say." "If he was puttin' on shingles dat's one thing if he had climbed up dar to see a circus go by dat's another. To be on de safe side we will drape de doah-knob wid de cuatcmary emblem of mcurnin' but keep back our sympathy 'till we git furder perticklers of de accident." TO BE ORGANIZED, Giveadam Jones took the floor to in- quire if there were anv branch clubs of the Lime Kiln Club in England. The President replied in the negative, but an- nounced that a movi mant waa now on foot to organr'za cne in London, a second in Liverpool and a third in Manchester. There were many colored people in that country anxious to become members and be known among the faitbfal, and an op- portunity would be given them very soon. IT MAY SEEK HIM. Samuel Shia was then invited to step to the front, and as he posed before the desk the President said "Brudder Shin, I understands dat you am seekin' an offia." "Yes, sahâ€" a lettle one." "You am cosxin' promisih' rannin' wire-pulUn' an' lickin' bates in order to git yerelf into an rffia payin' staivashun wsgFs. H*s any cffia sought you ' "Iâ€" I dunno, sah." "Den you quit yer foolin' an' go to airnin' day wages. When an cffij wants yon it knows whar- to come and it will doobtless seek you out, Let as now dia- embark de meetin'" Country Newspapers. The country newtpi^r is the most useful and least compensated of all the agendea which stamp the impress of prc- greaa apon villagea and inland oitiee. Without the aid of local newspapers local towns are as arole thriftless and dead.
