Rh Teamoh, city editor, which thrived for some time longer than its predecessor, While in New London Mr. Teamoh was an occasional contributor to The Boston Advocate, and under the nom de plume of "Scribbler," contributed some excellent letters to that journal.

His style is terse and crisp, and his stories are well written and interesting. Many of his articles have been accompanied by illustrations, some of which have been photographed by him for cuts. These photographs were developed in a dark room, which has been assigned him for this purpose in the Globe building.

There is no distinction made between him and the other "boys" on The Globe. He is not only a member but a director of the Globe Athletic Club, having been re-elected twice. He is also one of the trustees of the Tremont Co-operative Investment Association, and is the only colored member of the organization.

He is the corresponding secretary of the Colored National League, and was one of the delegates from Boston to the Colored Men's National Citizens' Convention, held in Washington, February 4, 1880.
