doubt, necessarily claim and receive the atten-
ton of the proper authorities, national and
municipal, a an early day. 1t is to be hoped
that the cutters on the numbered streets cross
Ing the avenues and lettered streets will have
attention. In many cases they are an unmIti-
gated nuisance; dangerous, comfortable, and
unnecessary for drainage, and fit only to rem
der riding dangerous and dsagreeable. That
acroes street, on the west side of Twelfth, is
specimen. 1t Is useless, / presume, to

hills and holiows by travel, never TO be regu-
lated. There is but one way to do that work
well, and that is to gravel by thin layers, roll
each layer as il is put on, and after rains, and
prevent travel on il till done. Any other course
only serves to make mud holes and new con-
tracts. p.

of Captain Johnson's detectives were crossing
the Anacostia bridge, they were stopped BY g
man who wanted to know il they were riding
Government horses, and, after an examina.

The mans authority for making the arrest was
