The Marshall House, Alexandria,
where the first blood Of the late -rar

Ii is ono 9: tie most ancient build
inge III t!1. CITY, a,.d when the present
city hotel vas known ss Gady's Tavern,
the Marshall House waa n famous
hostel-y, called the Washington Tav-
er11. For the last few years it had been
unoccupied, bu. ever since the events
that occurred there at the beginning Of
the var, it has been the principal OBJ
iect of attention to ell the strangers
who visited the city.
The ownership Of the Marshall
House is disputed, and the property
was to have been sold next month un-
der g decd Of the court il, the suit of
Joshua Lippencott VS.. Kelly ct al. 1t

work OF an incendiary, and q man

from tho sequel, for that special pur-

Poor ColSax.

We are sorry for poor Mr. Coifax.-
II he wants the innocence he has the
weakness OF child, but Of child too
old or too imbicile to learn. The pity
We feel for him is akin to that which
we feel for partial idiotcy. It is pro-
volling, and ones hands almost itch to
inflict deserved punishment, but there
is SO much Of inanity in the committal
Of the fault that pity for him who per-
sists in committing it is the predomi-
mating feeling.
As to argument or explanation, Mr..
Colfax's case, like NIr. Patterson's, is
past all that. It does not in the least
matter what he says. He may have a
new story for every day, and q new
version of that story every hour: he
may bring in IS Witnesses to their truth
al the ladies wt1 whom he is &C
quaiDted and have basked ever so long
in his smiles; he may call upon the
parents paternai as well as maternal of
all the young Schuyler Colfaxes, who
outnumber n the Western States by
many hundreds the young George
Washingtons and Benjamin Frankins.
In vain. What he says is not of tho
slightest moment. The only feeling
We can possibly have about his case is
q mild and feeble curiosity as to what
be may say ne1t.-N. Z. Post (Rep).

SPIRITS TURPENTINE- Has
been considerably affected and unset
tied during the week by the adverse
kilograms from New York and other
markets. In spite of the dependency
of feeling, there has been 4 large daily
demand at the decline, and the bust
ness of the week has suffered no re-
striction, if prices have had down
ward tendency. Towards the close of
the week there is more confidence en-
tertained and sellers are holding their
stock from the market, believing that
prices have about struck the bottom and
a reaction must soon take place. On
Friday the market opened quiet and
steady, at 80 cents, at which figures
there were transactions Friday, Satur-
day and Monday, but Oh Tuesday
morning weaker tone was exhibited
and although there were sales early in
the day at 80 cents, yet in the evening
there was a decline of ! cent On
Wednesday the dullness continued and
further decline OF ! was effected
Sellers were not disposed to operate
to any extent, and the sales were con-
fined to q very limited number of
casks. To-day CTEursday) at the close
of orr report, there were no sales re-
ported but the market is quoted
steady at So cents. The receipts for
the week 1895 casks against >, 1876
casks for last week, show decrease of

1856 casks against 3, SS7 casks for last
