AIR SAILING.

BY an advertisement in another column
1t will be seen that the Aerial Steamship
is to paddle the air of Carusi's Saloon this
evening.
We arc glad to notice that our scientific
friends have taken hold of this subject. 1t
is worthy of their amplest powers If the
air is to be generally navigated by vessels
containing human beings, on any extended
scale, let the thing be fairly tested, and let
America have the credit of doing the work.

THE GERMANIA'S.

The Concert at Carusi's last night was
very superior. Little Camille was encored
twice, and Jaell, and the Germania Society,
covered themselves with honor
We should be glad if the Germanias
would make it point to perform some of
our national airs. The Marseilles Hymn,
and Rule Britannia would be acceptable to
many listeners.
Cannot the Society be persuaded to re-
main few nights longers Or will they
not visit Washington again very soon?

all the rooms which seemed TO nave any
claims upon their attention, rented two
excell,nt ones from Mr.. Mattingly, in his
new Building on It'll street, between D and
E streets, east side A sufficient appro-
priatisn has been made to furnish these
rooms appropriately and comfortably, and
it is expected that they will be prepared in
the co rse of a few days.
An appropriation has also been made for
subscription to such Magazines and Period
icals as may, in the judgment of the Library
Committee, be deemed suitable to the
character and wants of the Institute. An
attractive Reading Room will thus at once
be established. Fifty-six volumes have
been received by donation.
The Board did not deem it proper, so near
the close of the official year, to take any
further steps towards carrying out the
other portions of tina Institutes general
plan of operations, preferring to leave that
duty to their successors.
provides that "one-third of the Directors
shall go out Of office annually, but be sub
jject to reelection In accordance with
this provision, the following members of
the Board vacate their seats at the close of
this year; and the Institute will be called
upon, at the annual meeting to be held one
week from this time, in this Hall, to supply
their places:
Messrs. TAFT, Birth, Mattingly, Winter,
Gale, Polkinhorn, Breckenridge, and Hep
burn
Mr.. William NJ. Ellis having resigned his
place on the Board, the vacancy thus occa-
stoned will also have to be filled.
The terms of the President, Vice-Presi-
dent, Secretary, Treasurer, and Librarian
will also expire at the same time.
In closing this, their last monthly report,
the Board cannot refrain from congratu-
lating the Institute on the signal success
which has thus far attended all its efforts.
1t convinces them that the institution sup
plies what is now felt to have been great
want, and that with prudence and energy
on the part of the management, it can be
made the instrument of accomplishing i'm
portant and worthy ends. They hope that
their successors may meet with the same
generous support and confidence which it
has been their privilege to enjoy.
All which is respectfully submitted.

ORNAMENTS OF WASHINGTON.

Phe force of the sarcastic remark of the
quaint old orator of Roanoke, that "Wash-
ington Isl city Of squalid misery and mag
nifcent distances"-is gradually wearing
away. 1t is certain that the metropolis is
improving-perhaps with as much rapidity
and extensiveness as are really desirable
We have poverty here, it is true. But it
is by no means as ''squalid" as can be found,
alas! too readily, in much older cities, and
In cities, too, that boast very loudly of
their superior merits and advantages. We
have still great distances in our streets and
squares. But they are not magnificent
IN any sense that implies reproach, for the
pavements, the sidewalks, the shade trees,
the rows of lights, the omnibusses, the rows
en- rows of new and handsome buildings,
are steadily and surely wiping off from US
the sarcasm of the eloquent Randolph.
No city in the United States is making
more advantageous advances than the city
of Washington. There is no city where the
intrinsic value of property is more perma-
nent. For convenience of location, for sa-
lubrity of climate, for facilities of social
intercourse, for moral and intellectual Gull
ture, for opportunities to exercise a benef-
cial influences on human progress, We know
OF no city in our beloved Union that can
compare with this metropolis.
1t is by no means surprising to us that
capital should make here portion of its
investments. We do not wonder that people
OF taste, refinement, and leisure should.con-
slider Washington a very desirable place of
residence. In these respects We anticipate
many advances, as the resources and bene-
fits of our growing city shall be developed
before the country.
There are some things connected with
ornamenting the grounds and buildings of
Washington to which we most earnestly
entreat the attention of our fellow citizens.
In a government of public opinion, like
ours, all that is needed eventually to secure
any really desirable object is to agitate it's
paramount claims
With this view We shall present from
time to time such considerations with
regard to certain points of improvement
These points will include the following:
l. The completion of the public build
ings.
2. The erection of monuments and statues.
3. The construction of fountains.
4. The enclosure of parks.
.. The planting of shade trees
Other points will be duly considered as
the public interest shall demand.

They are attaching stables to all the fire

The pay system just adopted in that city
has gone into operation. In London horses
are always kept harnessed and ready for an
alarm. The engines are so constructed that
the men ride upon them to where the fire
may be raging. Thus they arrive in excel
lent trim for their work, and when it is
over, and they are tired with labors, enjoy
comfortable ride to their headquarters.

SINGULAR CoINCIDENCE.-It is a little
singular that of FIVE of the presidential cam
didates-one, Webster, is dead; another,
and the successful candidate, lost his little
boy, soon after his election, by most dis
tressing accident, and his own and wife's
lives were saved almost miraculously; while
the third, fourth, and fifth, viz: Fillmore,
Cass and Douglass, have each had to mourn
the loss Of their wives since the canvass.
Surely death strikes in hight places.

E The knowledge Of what Is and what
ought to be, are the two opposed wings upon
which the poetic mind rises, and the breadth
of opinion at each side must be equal, if the
fight is to be sustained.
ia He who wishes to comprehend the
present, and understand the future, must
take lessons from the past, for it is here
that he finds the roots of the present and
the germs Of the future.

Horse I'm Distress.-Passing near the cor
ner of Pennsylvania avenue and Four-and-a-half
streets yesterday evening, we noticed large num-
Der Of men and boys collected round horse.
which was lying on the ground, unable TO rise to
his feet Several persons, desirous Of ridding the
premises Of the animal, had been beating it; but
blows, though heavily laid on, did not effect the
the object. Two men, in the benevolence Of their
hearts, attempted TO ih the horse TO his feet,
However, their strength not sufficient for that
purpose, and their puny efforts only occasioned
loud laughter from the bystanders. lad who had
narrowly watched the beating and the attempted
lifting, suggested that the horse had fallen from ex-
haustion, and that if it could obtain little food il
might regain strength enough TO get on call fours.'
The hint was taken; bucket full Of something to
eat was procured, and the poor creature soon swa-
lowed the grateful meal.
We returned TO the premises an hour after !;
the horse was gone. The humane suggestion of
the youthful philosopher had doubtless effected
what kicks and blows failed TO accomplish.
