WHEN TO SEE LIFE IN WAsHlNGToN-The
Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald thus begins letter.
Bravo, General Myers! 1t is you, aided by
your odd Probabilities who has made the
season now drawing to a close snch u success
Had we enjoyed clear skies and clean streets
the receptions would have been crowded with
pedestrian clerks, lobbyists, boarding house
Keepers and M. C.'s from the rural districts,
VINO pack the drawing rooms and gObble the
refreshments. But it has been SO charmingly
snowy, and sleety, and rainy, and sloshy, and
ssiiippery, that an embargo has been placed on
TINS vulger herd, while those legtimately in
GOOD society have had good chance to enjoy
themselves. Even the male and female lobby
lists have been sifted cut by the hotel hops,
where they are in their glory, and where they
can order champagne for Congressional victims
and have it charged. If stranger wishes to
see life in Washington these hotel hops are
the places to go to. All the Sta ties and Terri
tories are there represented, and one sees the
sangre azala of the old Dominion; the quaint
and dyspeptic Yankees, quick eyed men bear
ing the pleasant countenances of their Milesian
ancestors; massive Kentuckians, bluff and bur-
ly Anglo-Saxons, swarthy Creoles, Pennsylvan-
fans, who appear to have fed on their cherished
nigiron: thoughtful Teutons, diplomatists,
Wearing their ribbons and stars, and chevolierss
%';ndnsirie who may some day sport steel brace
lets. and with these men are DANES ct den,0i-
seNss of high and low degree, presenting a
kaleidoscope whirl of bright colors, bright eyes,
towering headdresses and flashing jewels
Sometimes, too one sees ministerial guest at
the establishment, standing at the doorway,
looking somewhat as Hawthorne's friend, Silas
Foster, did when he gazei at the masquerade
mummeries at Merry Mount. The eating and
drinking at these hotel hops is good, as the ia
BILE on such an occasion is an advertisement of
the culinary excellence of the fare One great

young men, christened by Sala 'bottle conjur-

prestidigative skill of magicians as they toss

senarated from the rest of the arm about mid
way between the elbow and wrist. The suffer-
er was carried to Dr. Warren's office. and fine
mutilated arm was amputated about three
inches below the shoulder. Mr.. Wilson is about
twenty-sx years old and has family. He en-
dured the operation and shock to the system as

was doing well.

THE German Catholics at Dry Ridge near
Cincinnati, have recently re5elled against one
Father ,Eckerst and undertook to hold their
priest to rigid responsibility in civil affairs.
he had drawn some money from the treasur-
er of the church, and refused to account for
it. Thereupon the congregation organized
themselves into vigilance committee, with
power and intention, to act individually and
collectively. The priest was fired at through
his study window, but would not yield. He
was threatened with hanging, and called on
Archbishop Purcell with no effect. Finally
he fed under the protection of Sheriff and
his deputies.

THE LANCET ON NIGHT WoRK.-The Lancet
asserts that night-work is not injurious to
adults under certain conditions The hours of
sleep should never be curtailed, and the light
should be white, powerful, steady, and concen-
trated by shade on the work. 1t argues that
an insufficient, Pickering, or too diffused light
is one of the most serious causes in producing
the brain irritation which troubles night-work-
ers. 1t recommends abundant nutriment, and
a moderate use of tobacco.

Ii is said that scheme has made its APP
pearance in Washington which has for its OBJ
ject the assumption of the debts of the South
ern States by the United States government.
The argument urged in favor of this is that
those States cannot pay their debts, and in
view ofthis fact, it is urged that it will be
cheaper for the nation to pay these debts
than to have the financial standing of the
country injured by their reputation. The
scheme is too preposterous to be entertained
