So large a proportion, that one might say
all the' excursion boats havu hazzard,
rougt ct notV, only they call it "red uud
black," and other short games, tho para
phernalia for which can bo easily carried
alxuit, running almost assoon as they leave
their wharves, aud tho games run almost
uninterruptedly unttl Iho boats land at
their wharves again. It la hard for one
who is not of the fancy to have the fine dis
crimination necessary to cualilo htm to sco
that a brace gamo on Wiiilay Is a great deal
w crsc than a square gamo on Sunday, but
thero seems to bo an Idea In tho minds of
tho fancy that It Is. Last summer, when
tho local pross charged the captains of
steamboats with permitting Sunday gam
bling on their boats, they never winced,
only wishing It Impressed otf tho public
that tho games Wcro restricted to a certain
portion of the boat, where they could not
disturb non-gaming passengers. Hut, as
coon as It was charged that tho games Were
brace games, they all wcro up In arms and
protesting. When tho excursion season
opens again in a few days tho floating games
will probably open, too.

The song of birds, tho clear brook's prattle;
Then with tho butterflies speak they,
And wish tho humming beo good-day,
To view this splendor 'round them shed

When lo I tho blissful dream la o'er)
For spring bedecks tho earth once more.

When you go to rldo on tho Fcklngton
electric street cars theso pleasant after
noons you may, If yon wish, loavo your
watches at home. AVatchmskors about the
city who don't know tho effect of an elec
tric current on a watch havo been much
puzzled of Into over ft complaint they havo
found many watches suffering from, and
whleh they havo been unablo to dlagnoc,
A watchmaker who Is not up to these clrc-
trlcal times gets a watch suffering from
magnetization. Ro pries open tho case
with his thumb-nail as easily as If you had
never tried half an hour and broken both
your thumb-nails trying to do It and
couldn't, screws his monocular magnifying
glass Into one eye, looks at the works and
cays It needs cleaning. You leave It and
he cleans It, and still it won't go. Every
thing is all right about tho watch as far as
looks go, but tbo watch won't go. Then
ho cither tells you your watch is worn out
and can't bo fixed, or olso goes to another
w atchmakcr and finds out that tho watch Is
magnetized, and that tho only way to fix It
Is to demagnetize 11, It Is all slmplo
enough. The electric cars are thoroughly
permeated with tho powerful current of
electricity that runs them.
A largo part of tho works of a watch aro
of steel, the better the watch tho finer tem
per the steel Is and thomoro susceptible
to the Influence of electricity. Tho elec
tricity1 turns each ono of theso steel pinions
and levers and springs Into a magnet and
they stick to each other so tightly that the
watch can't run. It )s all very simple, but
how to mnko tho magnets cease tp bo mag'
nets Is tbo question. The process is rather
complicated and somo electrical parapher
nalia' la necessary to tho process so that
'some watchmakers, v hen they got a mag
netized watch to fix, send ltto'Now York to
some one who has tho requisite apparatus.
Oddly enough, one of tho drivers, or engi
neer, or whatever you call tho man who
runs an electric car, haB a common nickel
plated clock that he carried with htm nn
Ills car, and It fs never affected by the elec
tricity. The reason Is that tbo works of tho
cheap clock nre brass and iron, lnstoad of
being steel, and they cannot bo magnetized
by any amount of electricity.
One of tho members of The Ciiitio staff
tried to run a Republican newspaper In a
dcllcute and refined manner In Kentucky,
land since that style of National admlnistra-
itlou has begun to prevail, he is not forgot
ten by thoso who traded coonsklns and
cordwoodto him for subscriptions to Ills
"valuable" Journal." One "Old Subscriber,"
now residing In Ohio and anxious for a
ypetoftfee In that State, writes a; long letter,
which el06cs as follows: "Would tf bo a

, Colonel Charley Johnson, of tbo Clncln
,natl VMsllatl, who has been In this city for
some' time, gives an amusing account of a
lUtl'o Incident which happened to him while
ho was traveling in Europe. He stepped
I Into a store and purchased a box of safety
matches the kind that Unlit only on tho
box. Ro carelessly emptied the matches
, out of tho box and put them into his own
, match safe. Sevoral by-slandiM exchanged
significant smiles, and winked ana nodded
over the good Joko which they bad on the
stranger, To completo tho Joko ono of
them stepped up, and said, "Excuse mc,
sir, but will jqu kindly givo me a light?"
"Certainly," replied Mr. Johnson.
Tbo crowd watched htm as ho pulled out
bis match-box and scratched tbo match on
It. It sparkled and spluttered, and In a
moment was blazing nicely. Mr, Johnson
had placed some of the chemical substance
which lights a safety match on the outside
of his own match-safe,' and was prepared
for auy such emergency, Tho by-standert
wcro surprised, aud tbo man who bad asked
for a light looked foolish.
Fiddling Alf, Taylor, who fiddled himself

Mile. Rhea, who appears this week at
Albaugh's, is, off the stage, a remarkably
vivacious ana witty woman, with a girlish
nalvcto and absolute absenco of suggestlve
iicss perfectly Irrlslstlble. Rcr eyos are
sparkling black, her hair very dark nnd
worn In a straight bang, and sho is purely
French In her gestures and restless vivacity.
At a littlo dinner given last week In Balti
more she mado a charming response to tho
toast to herself and occupied as much as
four mluutes in tho offort. When sho had
finished sho sat down amidst great applause,
and then, as the company became quieter,
sho looked up so quietly, and with a pretty
blush, remarked;
"My, my, wasn't that a long speech. I
never mado ono so long as that before In
my life. When they call mo before tho
curtalu sometimes and cry 'speech, speech,'
I bow and say 'I cannot make a spoech.
All I can say is, I tbauk you with all my
heart.1 .Rut now I have become a great
speech-maker, haven't I ?"
It was decided that she had, aud it
pleased her more than It she had made a
treat, hit on tho tUge,
MARRIAGES IN WASHINGTON.
In proportion to population probably
more people make on effort to get Into
what Is known as fashlonablo society In
Washington than any city In tho United
Flatis. And yet, with It nil, marriages aro
wonderfully scarce.
Indeed, tbo tendency to wed scorns to bo
growing less and IcsS at the Nation's capi
tal, and Cnpld apparently did lot do much
In his lino during tho past social season.
It is estimated that thero ard 20,000 moro
women In Washlngtou than men, Including
all classes, of course, and this Is probably a
correct flgurlug, for no matter wheroyou
go, whether on tho streets, in tho theatres
or at n private entertainment, you aro
struck at once by the fact that tho women
greatly outnumber the meu.
Tbo main reason for this backwardness
In matrimonial matters is that tho avcrago
young man who nourishes In Washington
society has not sufllctent money to support
a wife and family, and he is afraid to take
, a venture unless ho can secure a wlfo who
has means of her own, and that kind Is
scarce where a placo Is mado up so largely
of politicians and where business chances
ore so few.
Yet there Is a great splurge cut herein
society, and a person who did not under
stand tho elements which constitute tho
rank and fllo of society's devotees In tho
Capital City would bo apt to tako for
granted that nearly all theso people who
inako up the sat who do tho dancing aud
who aro most prominent at receptions find
at the theatres hare nu abundance of
money.
The beaux of tbo town aro made up chiefly
of arm)' and navy llcutonants, clerks in tho
Departments, young fellows connected
w Ith tbo foreign legations and n consider
able sprinkling of fopsxvbo como hero from
other cities and who aro kept up by remit
tances from their fathers, and these fathers
are men who havo had to toll hard'for what
they have only to have it squandered by
their sons.
Nearly oil Congressmen are married men,
and it Is a raro thing to find a man In any
of tho Departments receiving as much as
$0,500 per year who Is not a married man.
As a rule, ho who gets a placo as good as
this under Undo Sam brings a family to
Washington with him. if turned out when
he Is past mlddlo ago you will find htm a
squatter here, and thrco times out of five
his wife has to keep a boardlng-houso to
help maintain tho family.
Thero is probably us much fortune-hunting
hero as In any placo In the country. The
girls who aro supposed td havo money are,
as a rule, visitors, though there Is quite a
sprinkling of local wealth, as Washington
has a business clement that develops
wealth. Rankers, real estate agents, build
ers, lawyers, doctors arid tbo llko and mer
chants In certain lines havo mado consider
ahlo fortunes.
It Is recarded the very acme of social
success In this town for tbo ''tradespeople,'
as the "official" people regard tho busi
ness set, to get In with the army and navy
set, and so often you will learn of some
young stripling In tho army or navy bag
glng a good-looking girl and monoy with
her. Then her people get admitted.
It Is a fact quite 'Well known bore that
somo people who had amassed three-quarters
of a million dollars, could not get Into
society at all until one 'of their daughters
wis married to a naval officer. The officer
was ono year older than tho girl's father,
but her mother was In for tho match, and
uow she Imagines she Is A high-flyer In the
upper circles,
Tho old woman is eetthur to ho awfully
proud, and the naval officer is' in clover
since lie married. Before the insrf (ago he
had very little sare'ehango.
Numbers of rich gfrls como hero each
season to enter society's whirl. As a gen
eral thing they are sensible, aud thoy toy
with the fops by receiving their attentions,
such as dancing with them, going to the
theatre, eating their candy, and enjoying
the rpses which tho poor young fellows
purcha.se at CO cents per bud, and In tho
height of tbo season even higher priced.
The girls from a distance know that fortune-hunters
are thick In Washington, and
they raanago to escape, and, tf they are Ben
slble, go back to their homes and take the
advice of papa and mama py marrying
young business men who have some pros
pects In life. N. Y, Morning Journal,

A Congressman's mall Is an Interesting

Not lone ago ho received a letter from n

education. She told tho Congressman that
a Kentucky lady had recently been visiting
her, and happening to mention Governor
McCrcary's name, she had taken tbo ltborty

was a widow with one son; so was her
visitor, and, learning that tho Governor
had only one son, she was Inclined to think
bo would all the moro gladly listen to her
appeal. Rcr boy, the writer went on to
say, was engaged to bo married to a very
charming girl. Tho engagement was sanc
tioned by both families, nud, as iho-boy's
mother was comfortably well off, sho
looked forward with great pleasure to her
son marrying and settling down. Rut tho
young pcoplo bad a lover's tiff, tho engage
ment was broken off, and In a fit of plquo
and madness bo enlisted as a private in tbo
army.
The girl was hcart-brokon and tho mother
was distracted at the hardships her boy
would have to endure; and would Mr. Mc
Crcary uso his Influence to have her son dis
charged ? The Governor went over to tho
War Department and laid Ibdcase before
Adjutant-General Drum. General Drum
got behind a roll of tape and a copy of tho
Revised Statutes and showed that It
couldn't be done. Rut McCreiry told tho
General that the keyslono of arch wouldn't
fall If the strength of tho United States
Army was reduced ono man; that the hap
piness of the pcoplo depended upon his de
cision, and that it would be a good deal
better to disregard tho foolish young man,
who heartily rccTCttcd his follv. than to
keep him an unwilling prisoner, with ihi
chances agatnst his over making a good
roldter.
Thc6fl arguments wero too much for tho
General, and he gracefully capitulated.
Secretary Endlcott, always willing to do a
kind action, heartily approved of tbo Gen
eral's action, and Governor .McCreary had
tho satisfaction of being ablo to write his
New Jersey correspondent that her .sou
w ould bo discharged as soori as the neces
sary papers could be mado out. To-night
Governor McCrcary received an Invitation
to attend a wedding in Now Jersey, to

Tho Snmoan IlInicuHy,
W.siii.notom, April 7. ilifoc Cutie:
1 am astonished that among the many ver
sions about tho cause of the Samoan affair
not bnco tho true cause was mentioned. It
shows how little even tho Germans know of
llfo In Germany as It is now. Tho truth Is
that the whole affair was only an old Ills
marckl.au election trick.
Each year when the Retelistag assembles
thero Is brought up a bill for either more
soldiers or more war ships. Each year
theso bills aro voted down by tho House,
and as n last rcsourco tho Chancellor (Bis
marck) dissolves the Parliament. Now
tho pcoplo would choose exactly tho same
representatives, but Just then must arise
some quarrel with a foreign power. Tho
German press takes up the war cry" and ox
horts tho pcoplo to vote for loyal men and
a larger army. Of course tho liberal papers
cry out against this, but to little account.
In 'SO It was war with France (10,000
sohllemon the bill),
Iu '87 it was war with Russia (10,000
soldiers on the bill).
In '88 It was war with England, as war
ships were on the bill.
In '80 with the United States (ships again
on the bill ). With a strange mouotony each
' tlmo the quarrel Is caused by German
border officials; with tho same monotony
these officials turn friendly as soon as the
j oloctlons aro over.
Such a trifle as a few hundred lost lives
' or millions of monoy aro nothing, as long
as tho plans of tho truly "Iron Chancellor"
i are executed. Vehihs.

Mid tbe golden orange leaves,

And the breath ot ocean'blllowa,

With a hcart-acUa'aud a longing,

Tee, she would be carried thence."
Sparing neither time nor money,
Busy feet aped on their way,
And special train was chartered,
And they boro her homo that day.
Faster, faster, whirled tbe coaches;
Faster still, with lightning speed,
Till the engineers grew dizzy,
.Hut to danger paid no heed.
Who can tell what she was thinking
As the whirling, flying train
Rushed with roar of desperation,
That she might see home again.
Did she see the fond, brave facts
For her sake tho toars restrain
Make the dear old home like Kdeu'

And they bore her home that day.

Tho London Alhen.cunt of March 10 says:
Ou Saturday last, the Oth Instant, an Inter
esting discovery was mado Iu Lincoln Min
ster. Tho pavement of Iho retro-choir,
which had sunk much In places, nnd -was
altogether In a dilapidated state, Is being
rclald preparatory to tho uso of that por
tion of tho Minster for congregational pur
poses. In tho courto of the repairs tho
workmen had occasion to raise tho slab
which covered tho gravo of Bishop Oliver
Sutton, who occupied tho sod from 1380 to
to 1309. On tho right sldo of tho moldcr
ing skeleton wcro found n sllvcr-gllt chalice
and paten, nnd between the bones Of the
legs, having slipped from the finger, was a
largo gold ring tt with rook crystal,
The sacrod vessels wero still standing up
rlirtit si thrtv had been orlfflnallv nlacid.
the paten laid upon tho challco and the
Whole covrred with a ptcco of lino linen,
about seven or eight Inches square, which,
wheu first seen, Was banging In graceful
folds all round, but ou tho admission of tho
air soon fell to pieces. The chalice closely
resembles that from Rorwlek Sti Jamos;
Wilts, now In tbo flrltlsli Museum, figured
In Mr, John Ropo's paper in tho Archcetoffl
tal Journal (vol, xllll., page 143.) It Is U
inches high; the bowl, which is broad and
shallow, being 4 Inches in diameter, 1
incnes xicep. it nas n sugui quaai-up
round the circumference. Tho foot is clr-1
cular, of the same diameter as the bowl.
There Is a bold knop projecting half an
Inch from tho stem.
Tho challco was mado in three pieces,
tho bowl being soldered on, and tho knop,
with a ring below supporting It, riveted to
the stem. The gliding is brilliant on tho
Inside of the bowl, but It Is much corroded
on tbo exterior of tho chalice, The whole
Is entirely destitute of ornamentation. The
paten Is also plain, with tho excep
tion of the customary "Manus Del" raised
In benediction In tbo central depression,
which, as well as the outer depression, Is
circular, uncusped. Thopatonis4J Inches'
in diameter. The ring Is Of puro cold, 3S
carats fine, Slid as bright, after tho dirt Was
washed from (t, as the day It was first put
on.
It still bears tbo marks of the burnishing,
It Is set with a very largo pleco of clear
rock crystal, It is not unlikely that It was
a funereal ring, mado for tho bishop's obse
quies. On tbo left sldoottho skeleton was
a much-decayed crozler, the head of which
bad'beeri beautifully carved with maple
leaves, i no stair nnd completely rottcu
away.
Tho skeleton of tho Rlshop was fairly
perfect, but tbo bead had entirely disap
peared, thero being uo vesttgo of the skull
or teeth. A considerable quantity of hair
of a brownish color, approaching red,
marked tbo place whore the head had been.
The head rest was perfect, being formed of
n block of oak, two feet by six Indies, en
tirely cased In lead, supporting a decayed
woolen cusslon. Tbo vestments of tbo
corpsowas cbmplctely decoyed, only tho
outline being visible.
Tbe receptacle of the body was not, as is
commonly the case, a stone coffin hawn out
to receive (ho corpso, hut a rectangular
chest, built up of dressed stones, entirely
lined with lead and covered with a largo

Mrs. Hayes was an Intolerant fanatic. Far
from it. She was sunshine personified. Rcr

bigoted nor obtrusive in her views. Bob
Ingcrsoll pronounced her tho "worst man
of iho two," but it is perfectly safe to re
verse the declarations of this Intellectual
nihilist, It you wish to come auywhere noar
the truth. Mrs. Hayes' position regarding
tho use of spirits was like that of a noble
Philadelphia, matron who bad sacrificed
her own comfort In order to chaperone a
party of yonne people on a camping ex
cursion In the highest valleys of tho Rooky
