ONLY TWENTY MINUTES A Washington Narrative) cf Actual Eyent In Ihe winter of 1683-84. there fell linnl frost In tbe Inltltude of WaahiiiK ton, and a glitleriue sluetof ico spanned tbe Potomac from nliore to abate. Sucl an event is of somewhat rare occurrence Iu a climate bo distinctively southern in Us general ch'arncleristica, and tbe youth of the city made tbe tnont of it. So long ns tbo sport listed tbe glisten inc Btirlnce of tke Btrcntu reflected the graceful movements of n throng of akat ers. not the lenKtnpry and agile of whom was tbe imrr.itor of thin story. Bnrn in the inhospitable North, where nil tbe winter Iour Hie rivers are Ice-locked and Ihj rot di piled l.iwli with drifted snow this spectacle rekindled in me tonitlliiug of tho entbti,astn wilb which, na a atrip liug, I had always entered into the win ter pnslimta of Bk.itiug nnd cnasting.nnd I bciutily welcome! thla opportunity to display my nccomplist menu. The easo with which I described tbe figure 8, nnd cnt my initials on the glossy plain, w. s thd ndmlrntion of everr young lad l:i that merry compauy, and prnlified my si'lf lovo to a degree that, considering how Inug R titn i) had elapsed uinco I bad indulged iu such boyish pleasure, was really RUrprUing. Fortunately, the frost held for sevsrU days, oud every afttruooti tbe whit' bosom of the l'otomno waa the acno ol it gathering that embryo d much of tb fn-bttiii aud beauty of tbe Capital, nnd occupying, ns I did, tbe post of arslstaut physician In a government institution near by, with more leisure at my com ttianil than I Always know what to d with, I was frequently able to purticipat in these gjj'lifs. Unusually I had fo toy companUm a young eltctriciau, who was an accomplUbed skater aud devotee of the sport. One name is as good as nuotber I culled him ''Tom." "Well, Tom and I had many an txcil iug race up and down the river during ihat memorable ice caruival, until, en the lust night, ooourred tho hazardous adventure which I am about to relato, Auil in order that von may arrive at a proper understanding, of It, I must pause in my narrative long enough to give you tn idea of tbe locality. If you have ever, Irom tbe terrace of the Cupitol, looked dona on tbe Botan ical GardeiiK aud across the unkempt Government reservation to tbe flats wboro the dredgers are so busily at work you must buve noticed that the Foto nuc, utter flowing lazily tinder the "Long Bridge," across which rumbles tbe train fur Alexaudria, seems lo btrtlch out au arm to the eastward, and then, turulug suddenly about tales its wuy southward towards tbo Chesapeake. This arm, which is called the "Eastern branch the Pntomao," really tue outlet oi au- aooslla Cfeek, aud the creek, taking i s rueiiillie M iryland bllN, udt far from iue,- uisiqrio uuueuauurg uueinug ground, peaudera along between green meauowa tumi It reacuts tue ou navy yarn, ami lorius me aouiuern uwunuary ,i, iu. n.j. the Potomao, a point of laud proieots Horn thovbore line and foim ilei-ite of tie Agonal, garrisoned at the tim of bleb I ante by a ccmDany or two of artillery, vim hamsouie bouse aseieni areoiteoioio tor me ometrs, F3 I sung quarters for tho men. Upon tbe opposite side of the stretim, crowning a tioblo height, standi tbe institution with which I am connected, IIh ivy-mantled towers realizing tbe popular Idea or an old English castte. At tbe foot of tbo hill, which, is circled by a substantial wall, a wharf prnjsols into tbe water und a winding rond leads to it from tbe sum mit. It is perhaps a mite from the wharf to the arsenal opposite and nuotb er nitla to tbs city front proper, and it was by this route that! usually made my daily trips to ton a. It wai on tbe last night of the cam!' val, aa I have said, that tbe adventure in qiit.ition befell .me. The weather had becomo perceptibly milder nnd the glar ing sunsbiuo bad materially cofteued tbe Ice, so that it was necessary to exetcite soma caution in crossing the white ex panse I bad diued that day with my friend Tom, at tbe Arlington, and, ns we knew that tbe ice could not last much longer, it bad been agreed between ns tbitt be should go over and spend ILe evening with me, and that night niter mooutise wo should shale back together. It nss already dusk, nnd tbo stars shone but dimly through the baze, that seemed to be gathering like n veil be- weeu heaven and eatth. When we rencbed tbe river side, therefore, I light- d a small bull's-eye lauleru which 1 bad taken tbe precaution to briug along with me, and by Its frieudly ylenra we clamped on our silver-plated skiitea. A moment spent in rummaging through our pockets for nuotber match with which lo light our cigars and we were ni Clipl clipl clip! with long, easy strokes nith that delicious swaying motion which gives wings to the pace with light hearts aud occasionally a mer ry tthiHlle, piercing tbo flilluess of the evening air, wu bent to tbo work! Wo bad left tbo Washington monu ment a towering spectre, faintly out lined In the darkness far lo shoreward; hnd ahnt like an nrrnw under the dingy trackway ut the Long Bridge, and bad list sighted the rtflectton of the arsenal light, streaming full upon our coursr, when crack! boom! a succession of un earthly sounds tbs meaning of which we both well knew, fell upon ears and startled us from our fancied fsrourily. "Look out," I shouted to Tom. "Oh, It's nolbiug,'1 he replied cheerily. But tbe very next moment Ibe ice groaned again, bent, cracked and sank uuder us we were in tbe waterl As the icy flood closed over my head, a shiver r.tu through mo. It was indeed the Itiver of Death! But, instantly, there cimo a revnlsiou of feeliug, with that swiftness of thought which is ctnracter islic of tbe mind in times of supreme danger. I reflected that I was a strong Hwimmer, that tho edgo of the ico could not be far off, and that even if I did not succeed in reacbiug it, Tom would doublltsi come to my rescue, ro that by tho time I hnd risen again to tbn surface I had formed n dc&uite resolution. Strik ing out boldly, I soou reached tbe ice field, aud, exerting my wholo strength. eudeavnrcd to mount upon it. But the treacherous cakes broke off again aud again In my frantic grasp and then sank beuonlb me! At last I found one that seemed sufUcienlly strong to bear my weight, but by tbts lime my bauds bad become benr.mbed and bruised by tbe rongh edges of the floe, and I felt my Rtrengtb leaving me. By n supreme ef fort, however, I succeeded In drawing myself partly out of tha water, so that uiy breast rested upon tbo extremity of tbn cuke, nnd using the leverage thus af. forded, I erndunlly got my body oyer en tirely, I now felt secure, but was power less to move or cry for help. When my strength bad sufficiently rc vived.I cautiously rose to my fret nnd shouted at the top of my voice lor Tom, Breathlessly I waited for au answer! It came preutly in a hoarse cry, far away dowu tbe stream. "I'm nil right; how are yon?" I replied to this welcome bail by di recting Tom to work bis way along care fully until be rencbed tbe place where I then stood, It was a slow nnd painful proof ss, but at at last be was within hand-reacb. "If you can hold on a bit longer, I can give you n leg," said I, as I groped about iu tba dark for a convenient crack into which I could thrust my fingers and secure a tight grip. Having fouud one, I lay down flat ou my stomach, with my legs banging over edge of tbe ice, and as Tom c-tugbtbold of those useful preheu siles, I drew him nut of bis predicament. For an instant we flittered ourselves that we were safe, but hardly bad the first words of congratulation passed our lips ere down again down into that dark and chilly stream we sank together. How loug we floundered about tbtra I cannot tell. We called anxiously to each otber; we shouted, we yelled like maniacs, but no help came. On tbe ar unl point we eonld seo lights moving but they cams no nearer. Across the river tbe windows of the Institution aeemctl to us to be fairly blazing uilh light. Over there, I knew, were friend ly hands and strong arms in plenty but uone were reached out to us. Good God! were we then to bs left to perish in the midst of that grinding ice; in tbe awful solitude ot the starless uight? Were wo to fee! our grasps relax of ing our Augers slipping tho water ria i0g, rising to our shoulders, our necks I clo.iug, closing alas, over our beads ing, rising to our shoulders, our necks clo.iug, closing alas, over our beads while there so near, oh, so distressingly whilu there so near, oh, so distressingly neir! our dear one, might be pressing ne.rl our dear ones might be pressing 1 tUcir pale fccs against those very win - their pale ft)ces against those very win-' dow panes, perhaps, and pterin? out dow panes, perhaps, and peering out WouderlngIy Into tbe dark, uncanny wouderingly iuto the dark, uncanny night.

The Ilegulars had heard our frantlo cries, nnd surmising tbo cause, bad hastened to our rescue With lauterns and ropes. With their timely nid we were soon on terra firm, ouco more, nnd wrapped Iu blankets in front of a blazing fire, we soou lost all sense of discomfort. I bethobght me to look at my watch. It bad slopped at nine. We bad been only twenty minutes in the water only twenty! It seemed as many years! SOME OBSERVATIONS. "That Is the editor, is ill" "Yes. sir, it is." "Well, now, Mr. Editor, I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm introducing tbe 'Morning Star' brand of coffee among your merchants here, and if you'll give me your address, I'll send two pounds of the 'Morning Star' tn your bouse, I want your wife to servo you with n cup of i', and after you've tried it, yon may just say what you please about it in your paper." Tbe editor, of course, beams with bapplutss. The prospect Ive donation of two pounds of choice coffee is enough to make nuy editor happy. Unfortnnntely, however, his family is a way for the sea son, nnd he replies: "If you had just ns Boon, suppose you send that coffee up to tbe business manager's house. Here he comrs, I'll introduce yoa," and having done so.the observer settled down to bard work. He would have introduced the philanthrop ists to tbe business manager anyhow. It is a rule iu tbo mail office Ihat all philanthropists shall be introduced to tho business manager. Tbo representative of tbo 'Morning Star' coffee tell hi story veiy gracelully to tbe business manager. "I'm going to send two pounds of our superb coffee up to your house. Tbe business manager has met phi lanthropists before.' Two pounds of coffee,'' bo replies; "bow much is Ibe coffee a pound?" "Tblrty.flve eeuts." "All right ; my bouse is number 2,232 Blank street. Send up yonr coffc. Here's seventy cents." "I beg your pardon," says the phi lanthropist ; "I'm going to give you Ibe coffeec, nnd" "But I don't want you to give me tho coffee. I'm able to pay for it." "Yes, yes, I know that ; but you know I expect you to reciprocate by saying what you think about tbe 'Morning Star' in your paper," "Then yon want me to give you some thlug, do you?" "O, no ; I simply expect you to say whatever you think tbo coffee deserves," "We usually trade ou a cash basis," the business manager respond, "but let's see, two pounds of coffee will be worth seventy cents ; three Hues of local seventy-five cents ; von owe mo a bal ance of five cents ; It will "be very hard work to get vtry much of a notice iuto three liuee,but we'll close the deul if you ay so." Tbe philanthropist, for some reason conldn't dispute tho newspaper finnn cler a business logic, but still be coulu hardly comprehend jrby bis generosity was looked upou iu such a coldly prac (leal manner as tbo business man applied to it. He succumbed, bowever,tnd con cluded that be wouldn't send the coffee at all, but wonld make a contract for advertising in casb. The philanthropic scheme of the coffee man, analjzod in a business mauner.was every wit as business-like as it would be on tbo part of a newspaper man to step iuto a mercantile establishment aud say to the proprietor: "Here, I am going to send you my paper for three months ; after you have read it you may give mt just as many dollcrs' worlb of dry goods in return as you think us deserving of." Feculiar ideas are entertained regard ing tbs newspaper business. More rldi-. culons propositions are made to news paper publishers tbah to any other class of business men existing. Not long ago a Texas man wrote the Mm, a letter saying that be would appreciate tbe publication of the "inclosed item of general interest'" and that if tbo publish er woul i send blm a marked copy of tbe paper and advertising rates, be would be pleased to send them cash cash adver tising when be needed it. Tbe "item of general interest'' was an advertisement. Tbe publishers replied that if be would kindly send fifteen dollars iu cash as a gift and tbe rates on any money be might have to loan, tbey would be pleased to borrow of Mm whenever tbe occasion arose. And why should suca absurd popositions be made? Simply because tbs newspsper prolession has educated a good proportion of tbe public into the idea that a donation to an editor of fifteen cent, box strawberries, or n peck of fresh vegetables, is as acceptable as u thousand dollar gold pleoa would be to an ordiuary man. Tbe coffee man above referred to, after tbe conversation bad concluded, laughingly aud fraukly added : "That's all right it's business but we catch lots em!''

A popular hotel man of this city bas determined to abandon tbe temptations of single blessedness in March and settle down to the enjoyment of married life. Tuesday evening a Commercial Angel stepped up to tbo office desk and ad dressing tbe mauager, who was writing on delicate note paper, naked. "What time docs Ihe next train go south to Nor wich on tho Central?" Manager (promptly) March 11. Tbe next question was: "Is tbero a 'drawing-room' on the train?" Manager There will be no drawing- room about it, it will be in tbe ohnrcb! The laughter which followed aroused tbe manager from bis reverie and after a moment's refleotlon he too smiled and was obliged to make the Commercial Angel 'smile' in return. tncdiscrprttourprosidont ncilisorpruoBou r "p rosidan c dlscrpruo sisour preside discrprtiosid isoucprosid isorpruosidn disourp resi serpruosidnandisourpres orpruosidnalandisourprc rpruosid nalelandisourpr pruosidnalovolnndisourp ruosidnnlcvevolnndisour uosidnnlevolovolnndisou ob idnalevolClovolandlso uos idnnlovelovelnndisou ruosi dniilovovclandisour pruosidnalcrclandlsourp rpruosid nalelandisourpr crpruosidnnlandisnurpro cr p ruosi d nan disourp res tso r p ruosi tin disourp rcsi dis erpruosid isour presid i ; : . i uuiscrpr uueiBuurp rusiua ncdiscrpruosour presid on tnodisorpruourprosidont Cau be read upward of Ave tbousaud differeut ways by starting with tbe centre letter C aud taking the most zigzag course to any of the four cerners, viz, 'Cleveland Is our Fresident."
