INST, at Odd Fellows Hall, Navy Yard, by a

aresse: upon the principles Of the order will
DC delivered, and other exercises of an inter.

Known character Of the citisens of the Sixth

lNPosIrIoNs Oh TIE CITIZENS OF WASH
INGTON -Msssrs. Editors Is it not strange
that the citizens of Washington are most al
ways obliged to pay moro than those Of any
other place for amussments! And it will al
ways be 30 As long a. our citisens encourage,
by patronising the imposition-for it is nothing
else Grisi and Mario sang in New York for
three dollars, and are to sing in Baltimore for
three dollars, but We are to pay foe dollars.
It 10 quite time that We should frown down
such things, and this is the nick of time to do
it, as money is so scarce, and there is so much
suffering here and elsewhere. Let all those
who intend to 90 abandon tho idea, and quiet.
ly give the money to our benevolent associa.
tions. and my word for it, the notes of graft.
tude sent up to Heaven by the relieved viii far
excel in worth all the notes of Grisi and Mario.
Better that they should sing to empty benches
and naked walls, than the suffering psor
should cry with empty stomachs, and SILVER
with naked limbs. No doubt that many of
our elite will &c under any circumstances and
price. and many of them can afford to indulge;
but II any one will keep his eyes open, he will
find many present who cannot pay their wash
erwoman's bill, and who, if they owed you
five dollars, would keep you calling again I'M
til you had worn out the amount in shoe
leather. ECONOMY.
