called.
Mr. Harrington called the attention OF the
court TO the case, stating that the charge was
forging the name OF General o. X. Babcock 70
communications addressed to various public
of'iceIs and asked that All carly day be nxed for
tho trial.
Mr.. HIne said that an early trial would suit
him, as Nc. Pardee seemed to be the principal In
this wonderful transaction. Mr.. Pardce was
now In an insane asylum, and he presented Q

nrmcd In the opinion that he was insane, aud
gave q certificate recommending his removal to
an insane asylum, aud he had been removed 10

Mr.. Harrington asked that the certificates he

The police telegraph has become so important
an auxiliary to our police force, and so indls-
pensable to Its successful and efficient operations
that the board has determined to extend Its
lines to several points within tho District be-
yond the cities OF Washington and Georgetown.
II Is also found necessary to renew the wires oi
existing lines for the reason that they have he.
come so much crowded ns to seriously reduce
their conducting capacity.
! also proposed 70 remove the wires from
about eleven years ago, when the telegraph was
originally constructed, and place them upon
poles. This will add much TO their reliability,
aud obvlate the necessity OF frequent repairs
not only 10 tue wires but also to chlmneys TO
which the lines are attached.
An appropriation OF 5000 iA asked TO defray
the expenses OF extending the telegraph lines,
the purchase OF Instruments, aud the renewal
and transfers to poles OF existing lines.

SALE or INTOXICATING LIQUORS,
Probably four nfths OF all the crimes, dsor-
ders and paupersin In our midst Ia caused by
Indulgence In intoxicating drinks. A very large
proportion OF the criminals, disorderly and pau
pered classes obtain their liquors In low dram
shops, where It Is sold without license and In
defiance OF law. There are within this District
very nearly as many places where liquor is sold
In violation OF law as there are holders OF H.
,epses for the traflc. This arises from the fact
mai the technicalites OF law and the foTmalltles
N tpe courts are 30 dlfflcut TO overcome that
lew convictions can bo obtained. Moreover the
laTmoE izing influences and soothing efforts OF
ne trafnceTs In exhilarating beverages are so

Our stay here, which terminates this

in a very secure and pleasant position, the
trade wind blowing uninterruptedIy and
rendering the heat-Which however was
not excessive, the thermometer ranging
from u deg. to IS deg. in the shade

have been busy daily in their respective
departments, and a large collection OF IN
terestiug and beautiful objects has been
made. This is not a difficult thing to do

her choicest gifts Of form and colour on

of the animal and vegetable kingdom are

these beauties to boast of, St. Thomas

authors has pertituated, in a recent work
