THE WATcH-HoUsE was thinly attended last
night. Mr.. John Day got drunk, and created a
disturbance at or near Jackson Hall. He was
taken up, but released by the Mayor at two
o'clock, q. m, on condition that he would APP
pear to answer the charge at nine o'clock. He,
however, did not come, no doubt because he
slept late in the morning after such spree.

THE ISLAND.

At the Smithsonian Institution, workmen are
planting trees, pruning and removing others,
culivating and improving the grounds This
part Of the mall will soon be one among the
finest Of the many pleasant afternoon resorts
with which the city abounds The Institute
building is rapidly progressing. The towers
will probably be completed this summer. The
Island can well boast of its ornament; for as
the work goes up the real beauty of the struc-
ture is developed, and adds increasing graceful
ness to that pleasant section Of the metropolis.

YESTERDAY was Easter Monday, and very
general holiday. Most of the schools were
closed, and the children were treated to the
luxuries peculiar to themselves and the occa,
sion. The capitol parks were full of smiling
little boys and girls, playing on the smooth
grass and enjoying the sunshine and the flow
ers of spring. Egg-shells, dyed with every
shade of the seven primitive colors, and in va
ried combinations, were scattered all about,
showing how well this time honored little Gus
sports, however, appear to have passed away.
We heard Of no races, and no chicken fights,
