Washington, D. C. Feb. 14, lBBtii
The "springtide fast rif fotty days"
has come, bringing With it fest from
giddy pleasures to the society Vbtarles
of our National Metropolis.. We are
not a religious people, yet the Lenten
days always come to us with a hearty
welcqjne. Fashion Is a tyrant that
bids its devotees till ihecr weariness
makes rest a religious devotion, and
the tired creatures of wealth and dis
play sink back in the lap of secluded
elegance, with a feeling that is good
to have an Injunction between them
afid excesses of tile pleasure intlnct.
On the Bth. fcumacona, the Mexican
Minister, gftVe ft brilliant reception.
His house was decorated as a fairy
castle, in the rich splendors of color
and appointments of his own tropical
country- A temporary ball-room was
erected, and beautiful as an art gallery
with pictures of the mountains, and
cities and people of his native laud.
The conservatory communicated with
the brilliant parlors open doors, and
balconies were set overhanging so as
to look down upon the glories of trop
icle plants and flowers, winding among
Which walked the elegantly-dressed
promenaders. Music from the ball
room floated on the scented air, and
bathed the hum of voices as In a
dream of scarlet and orange sitting.
The guests were the elite of Washing
ton, and many wealthy ladies and
gentlemen from New York, among
whom was Mrs. Astor, loaded down
with her dazzling diamonds. Presi
dent Hayes followed this brilliant
affair with his closing diplomatic re
ception, to which no one was Invited
save officers of the Army above the
rank of Major, Senators, Congressmen
Foreign Ministers, and Cabinet officers
and the inevitable Bohemian of the
Press. Mrs. Hayes, however, not
even for the cold arbitration of State
affairs, could forget her natural self,
and so she had some of her good Meth
odist friehds come, too. The crowd
Was immense, and a one walked up
the footpath to the portico of the
White House, he could not but wonder
how It was possible for the Mansion
to comfortably entertain the denizens
of that long tripple line of carriages
packed on the curved carriage-way
from gate to gate.
In Congress there continues to be
much lassitude. There seems to be a
determination to avoid any action
that looks to a political bearing. Even
sparks of party fire rare and feeole,
though both parties are, as it were,
breathlessly on the alert to check any
udvance movement of the opposition.
A Democrat the other day Baid they
were getting tired of that, and his
party was seriously meditating the
offensive attitude this season. He
says they have always acted on the
defensive, and have always lost.
The Republicans had pursued the
opposite tactics, aud had always won.
Now they were going to try the Re
publican mode of warfare. The extra
session issues are to be the bones of
contest.
A bill by Congressman Finley, for
the equalization of bouuties, is before
the House. It provides for the pay
ment of 58.22J per month for the
service of each soldier who enlisted
before Apnll 1, 1805, all previous boun
ties, Including State and county, to be
deducted. It is estimated that the
amount the passage of this bill will
take out of the Treosuiy, Is over one
hundred millions of dollars, and will
necessitate the settlement of 1,500,000
claims. There is one thiug especially
gratifying about the attitude of Sena
tors and Congressman toward the sol
dier. They lire disposed to give him
just as much from the National Treas
ury for his loyalty and service us they
possibly can. If from conscientious
motives any of them oppose a projosed
measure, they always premise with an
apology and a vow of fidelity to the
war veterans.
While all things else are gliding
along In the even tenor of their way,
there is one topic that has more than
a surface 1 nterest to Washingtonians,
and that is Presideut-makinir. With
at least 12,000 of our population office
holders, who are absolutely dependent
upon the fact of Pressdelit for daily
bread, to whom a change to an ad.
verse administration will inevitably
bring discharge and loss of that in
cone given by their present positions.
the interest taken in the question of
ttie Presidency is prehaps deeper than
in the States. The expediency of
nominating this or that candidate is
eagerly and constantly discussed by
our people, and quite as wisely and
profoundly as the affairs of State in a
country school house debate.
The trial of the murderers of Mr.
Hirth has fully opened, and for several
days Johnson.the negro who"peached"
was on the witness stand, and was
subjected to severest cross-examiuatlon
but which failed to break him down
in any respect. He seems to have a
clear hand and memory, a rare com
bination in negro witnesses, for few
can make connected and consistent
statements, under the ordeul of the
witness box. If Johnson may be be
lieved these negro murderers ccrtuiuly
deserve the extreme penalty but
whether they will receive it is another
matter, for our juries are terribly un
certain in their findings. The coun
sel for the defendants are making a
stubborn fight and will, in all likeli
hood, repeat the tactics of delay, etc.,
by which New York City felons man
age always to escape punishment.
A sad accident occurred in our po
lice court recently in the sentencing of
one I'eabody to the work-house for
ninety dflys for indecent exposure and
assault upon a little girl. A few years
since lie was A captain in tbe regular
army, but was dismissed for causes
growing out of his dissipated habits.
Bine then he bus led tbe life her of a
common drunkard, going constantly
downward until, Its one of the lowest
of the low, hi coiiimencbd nittking in
decent advances td Children. This
offense, bh which he was sentenced,
was not the first, and he ought to
have been incarcerated long Blnce for
his other transgressions,
The universal suffrage boom In this
District has received its quietus at the
hands of Its advocates. The old saw
"Save me from my friends," has been
exemplified in a marked manner by
the suffraglsti. They met in solemn
council, but developed their mob ten
dencies to such an extent as to alien
ate even the Rational Republican,
which hnd Warmly advocaaed the
right of our citizens to vote. This
able journal hauls down the suffrage
flag frankly admits we are not quali
fied to govern ourselves, since it is evi.
dent that our slums and hells would
rule us just as the same bad elements
control New York Citv.
Langnage Of Postage StftiMps.
The language of flowers Is generally
understood, as are also the fun, hand
kerchief and cane flirtations. The
latest Is the language of the postage
stamps. It is as follows: When a
postage stamp has been placed upside
down ou the left corner of the letter it
means, "I love you;" In the same
crosswise, "My heart is another's;''
straight up and down, "Good-bye,
sweetheart, good-bye;" upside down In
the right hand corner, "Write no
more;'' in thecenter at the top, "yes;"
opposite at the bottom, "No;" on the
right hand corner at a right angle,
"Do you love me?" in the left hand
corner, hate you." top corner on
the right, "I wish your friendship;"
bottom corner on the left, "I seek
your acquaintance;-' on a line with
the surname, "Accept toy love;" the
same upside down, "I am engaged;"
at a right angle in the same place, "I
long to see you;" in the middle at the
right hand edge, "Write immedi
ately." Of course no girl will be per
fectly happy until she has learned
these rules. F.r.

Vale in your Imaginary vision you
were led somewhat astray. This,
your first vision, .we think you better
try and have it over again and come
to B. C. to have it, (and not call on U.
R., of Fox township to help you), that
you may get it more correct Vale, 1
don't wonder at your taking it up for

The primary meeting attheschool
house last week, was the scene of
considerable merriment. R. A. Mc
Elhany, a democrat stole the caucus,
aud Ira telt is mad about it. Pear-
sawl wuuted the nomination for con
stable, but was counted out. John
Green wits nominated school director,
and intends to be elected if he lias to
stuff the ballot box. The large deli
gation from Sugar Hill, enabled that
part of the township to secure a greater
part of the nominations.
The arbitration, Morey vs. Felt,
was held in McLaughlin's shop on

favor of Morey, Felt to pay a judge
ment for loss of weight to the amount
of $7.00 and costs.
We noticed several weeks ago
that "C. M. Ooit" took the trouble to
correct a so called mistake of ours, in
which we stated that Brockway vllle
had for a long time rejoiced under the
name of a teuipcrence town etc.
He claims to have seeu, "several bar
rels resembling those containing whis
key, enter the so called temperence
town." We did not think this cor
rection worthy of comment ou our
part. But last week he apologizes
by saying, "Nixeyweeden" we did
not intend to scare you out, but merely
corrected your error. Now Mr. Goit
we do not doubt your skilefullness at
detecting whiskey barrels, but when
you say you have scared us out we
think you are mistaken, for we have
questioned our mental feeliugs, ami
have even tuken the trouble to time
the beating of our pulse aud find that
it throbs with all its accustomed reg
ularity. In return we will not accuse
you of drinking "the drugged fire
water," for we know that the feeble
ness of your mental faculties would
not permit indulgences of so strong a
nature, we would recommend a little
more soothing syrup. We cannot ex
cept the honor you thrust upon us, of
having our name on a church record
but if it were so, we could conduct our
self in a more becoming manner than
did the young man at the fair last fall
who, without respect for Hod's feel
ings, stole the young lady to whom he
was paying his attentions.

Those marked with an were
elected.
The vote of the new election dln
trict at Wilmarth has not heen re-'
ceived up to the hour of going to press,
but will not materially change the"
above result.
The Curtin case is reported W
Congress with a recommendation'
from the majority of the committee'
for a new election. This Is a cowardly
act. Either Mr. Yocum or Mr. Cur
tin was elected. It is the business of
the House to ascertain which one"
was. If it cannot, all the presump
tions of law are in favor of the sitting-'
member, who was duly returned.
Governor Curtin does not claim ou
the evidence that he was elected, and
if he has not proved that Mr. Yocunt
was not elected, he Is debarred from
claiming the seat, aud the case should
be considered closed by hU 6wh con
fession. To returu it to the people on
the ground that there was enough
fraud in the election to vitiate the re-'
turn, is both preposterous and dislon--eat.
It is hardly credible that tlif
majority in the House will follow the"
committee in this indefensible r
port. Phila. Prest;
