Correspondence Of the American Republican,
WAsuINGToN, April II, 1915.
The fjaerai Of the late DR.. Sslcati, which
TOOK place Yesterday evening, was most nu-
Jnerouslv and respectfully ATTENDED. The flu
neral service by the Rev. Norval Wilson, the
prayers the address, and the performances Of
;he choir Of Wesley Chapel Were in perfect
harmony with the melancholy occasion. The
Chapel was crowded to excess, and amongst
the congregation ] noticed the venerable En-
President Adams, Senator Benton, the Mayor
of Washington, the President and Faculty Of
the Columbian College, the students Of the
Medical Department Of the Columbian Col
lcre, and the Medical Society of the District
Of Columbia, as well many distinguished
strangers, scientific gentlemen and citizens
The remains of DR.. Scwal were finally depo-
sited in the graveyard of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, situated near the Columbian
College.
To-day being Henry Clay's birthday, no.
ticcd two banners waving from tho Wing pole,
N front of the Centre Market Professor

MIA Avenue and Four and half street, will be
occupied on Monday night, by the trends of
Mr. Clay and such other ladies and gentlemen
as feel inclined to attend the fancy ball, which
IS announced by the managers III honor of the
day. am inclncd to think this fancy ball
will be splendid affair; and ! am certain that
Mr. Hewitt and the managers will do their ut
most to render it an orderly entertainment.
OF a truth, Mr.. Editor your compositor
is an incorrgble blunderer, or am most in
corrigible chirograp hcr-else why this continu-
al havoc of christian and surnamcs. Save
me- Mr.. Editor, from the keen attack, which
cannot but anticipate from the Ca,tStiC pen Of
Estlrick Exams, Esq, when he discovers that
he is lmchrStiGni-ed and made a Turk of, in

Know We, by these presents, that the name
which you have printed Eslmck Evans is Est
tcick Evans, and that the said Estwick Evans,
barring little of the genus Irritable raltlnl,
which is foibe peculiar to prosaic as we'll as
poetical writer's is a vertabe Christian, cal
most if not altogether" as good as any that
can be found either IN your great City of Mo-
numents or in the City of Brotherly Love-
But away with badinage The car bell rings.
Let your composior be more careful for the
future. METROPOLIS.
Soft AND HARD. These two antithetical
words, besides their ordinary meaning, have,
IN Missouri, political Specification. In this
State the democratic party are divided into
"hardsr and "sotts" The former advocate an
exclusive metallic currency; the latter are IN
favor of State Bank. Mentally and physi-
cally, no doubt, there are many Sotis among the
"halds," and many hardS among tie "softs."
Yesterday young six-footer from Missouri
was strolling carelessly along the Lcvee, whist
ling Jenny get your hoe-cake DONE" looking
at the sights that passed in panoramic view, as
it were, before him, though not taking of any
thing very minute view, except it was a
dandy with his face covered over with black
hair, who passed along, and at whom he laugh
ed outright, calculating, "Well, | swar, if
didn't take that ere critter when | saw him
first to be bar in breeches"
lie had not gone far, flnging out his legs as
ne would the oars OF his tlatboat, when he was
accosted by one of those fellows who 90 about
seeking for green ones to fleece This fellow,
looking very mysterious, put his hand inside
the breast Of his coat and pulled out what
seemed to be hashy, emerald, double breast
pin, set in gold. He motoned the Missourian
to him with kind of confidential, stare ges-
ture, and asked him in a sem-suppressed voice,
If he would not buy that--he would get the
greatest kind of bargain in it..
The materials OF the PIN, or pins, we need
not tell our readers, instead of being emerald
and gold, were stained glass and lacquercc
brass. This fact the Missourian knew at a
glance, though he affected to be quite uncon
scious of it. He went on to bargain for it, til
the sharper consented to give it up for five dol
lars, though if he were not hard up he said
and if his shirts were not seized for his board
nc would not give it for forty.
''Well, | hain't got less than ten dolla
bill of the Missouri Bank" said the Nilsson
rian; ats good as gold, though-neyer sus
pended-and, as Pm soft you see, I preie

ooh, you're soft are YOU" said The
sharper

''Well, do you know, thought you were, ;
said the sharper; ''now isn't that stranger"
every" said the Nlissourian, handing owe
ten dollar bill, and receiving the brass pin anc
five silver dollars.
Thev narted. The sharner carried aw...y,
counterfeit ten dollar bill-for such was IN,
one given him by the Mss5urian-the latte
returned to his boat, told how he had bit tn,
bitter, and treated all hands out of the profit
