AT the review Of the militia of the District
yesterday the different organizations showed
themselves fully up to military requirements
IN the matter Of soldierly bearing, excellent
marching, accuracy and pr0mptness in exc
cutting the various evolutions, and neatness Of
uniform. 1t struck some who were present,
however, that most Of the organizations are too
small, many of them being far below the min
imum in numbers, and that the companies
should be 80 consolidated that each company
would have the requisite number of men. The
plan of consolidation is generally distasteful to
many officers, for the reason that in consum-
mating il some of them must necessarily be
thrown out In this case, however, we don't
see why the plan should meet with much ep-
position, in view of the desirable results to be
obtained Ii would be no disgrace, but rather
credit to the displaced officers to exchange
their straps for stripes, or to even be content
with the position OF - high private in the rear
rank"

hint tor the law makers of this District

The New York Ssa seems willing to grasp
anything that offers to supply . sensation for
its columns, without the slightest regard to
truth or justice, but in its late wholesale SLAM
ders upon the character Of the women employed
in the Departments at Washington it overdoes
the matter by the very extravaganza of its
charges. IL makes the reckless Asser ton that
the Departments at Washington are filled with
courtesans Who have been appointed at the So
iieiation Of Senators, members of Congress and
other influential persons; and il l. further
charged that these women not only of
doubtful virtue, but that they are totally un-
qualified for the places they nil. Ii declares
that the Treasury Department, the Interior
Department and the Post Office Department
% could any fair day turn out a regiment of fe-
males whose private life is scsndalous., This
Il what the New York sun saws of the large
body of respectable women-widows aud daugh-
tiers of patriot soldiers, mothers seeking by
honest work to provide bread for their little
ones, daughters for their parents and for their
little brothers and sisters dependent upon
them-for of these classes the bulk of the fe-
male employees OF the government are made up
Now, that there are occasional black sheep
amongst this large number is no doubt the case
but We sincerely believe that the proportion Is
smaller than with the same number OF women
COngregated any where else in the country in
any industrial pursuit; and infinitely smaller
than with the same number in fashionable So
ciety The fact Is that they occupy 50 con-
sp;cUOus a position that every fault or slip is
pretty sure to be noticed, and there are always
Nsliant and oensorIous ones enough ready to
iiIng punishment upon the delinquents As
regards qualifications for their position we
believe 1t Is conceded by the heads of depart
meDts that they do their work as well and in
some respects better that the male empIoves

merciai colleges. or like schools, for their duties
have shown themselves competent 10 revise the
work Of less qualified male clerks. The cruelty
oil these charges Is manifest when it is remem-
beTed, as above stated that a large proportion
OF these female employees of government are
poor widows and orphans who have nothing lett
them but their reputation.

wife of Austin Biron Bidwell, one OF
Macdonnell's associates in the Bank OF
England forgery, was reported in this
city yesterday. She was charged, before
Mr.. Vaughn, of Bond street, with con-
cealing the birth of her child. She
gave the name of Jane Georgiana Mary
Bidwell, and said that she was married
to her forger husband on the 9Th of
February last at theAmerican Legation
in Paris by Minister Washburne. She
first became acquainted with Bidwell in
London at an artists reception, but did
not know that he was swindler until
his arrest in March in Havana, whittier
she had accompanied him. She never
spoke to him afterward. Her father was

THANKSGIVING Day.

The eve of our annual Thanksgiving
Day is drawing peacefully to its close.
Strange, that though this day comes in
the dreariest month of the whole year.
yet a golden glory always seems cluster
ing about it, and all the joyousness and
the bright freshness, and the beautiful
charm of spring-time seem concentrated
in this one happy day; and our hearts
instinctively swell with grateful thanks
for all the blessings plentifully melted
on. to us by the merciful hand of onr
Heavenly Father, throughout the long
but now dying year.
The spirit of Thanksgiving Day. who
does not recognize its silent and pure
presence? No matter how lonely one
may be, however far removed from
friends and home-where is held on this
day the family reunion-still in your
silent room, where you sit in loneliness,
perhaps In grief, this peaceful and shin
ing spirit glides noiselessly in, and its
cheering presence sheds a golden glory
around-you feel that you are not alone,
and as if some loved friends had burst
In upon you with their joyous welcome
and.beaming faces, your heart leaps with
sudden gladness, and your sorrow is
vanished as if by magic.
Ills the holy spirit of Thanksgiving
Day. 1t cheers every heart, and gathers
up many fearful thanks-often silently
offered-and watts them on snowy wings
to the starry home in the skies.
May its beautiful presence, on this
day of the coming year, find all sorrow
ing hearts made happy, all desolate
homes rejoicing, the lonely wanderer
sheltered In his haven of rest. That all
may offer up, in one grand melody, that
glorious hymn to the Creator, 'sGlory
be to God on high, and ON earth peace,
goodwill toward men,"

Particulars of the Shooting of Thirty.
seven of the yirginius, Crew.

A Havana dispatch says: On Friday
morning, the 18th, thirty-seven of the
crew of the Virginius were brought on
shore at Santiago de Cuba, and taken to
prison, to remain there until their exc
cution, which was ordered for that after
noon. Capt Fry, noble-looking old
man, fully head taller than the rest of
the crew, when he met his men on the
wharf previous to the march to the
prison, saluted them all. The salute
was returned with affection. At 4:45
Capt. Fry and thirty-six men and officers
were publicly shot, despite the protest
of all competent foreign authorities.
The marines were seven minutes killing
the wretched prisoners. 1t seemed as
if they would never finish. At last the
sailors marched of, and the troops filed
past the long row of corpses. Then the
dead-carts were hurried up, and loaded
Unfortunately with the mangled re-
mains.
The American Consul has done all
that could have been done. Indeed, ii
was threatened that his exequatur would
be withdrawn for his exertions in behalf
of the prisoners. In an interview with
Gen. Burriel, that officer yelled at him
and otherwise treated him disrespect-
fully. The British Consul also made
an Intellectual protest against the execu-
ton. 1t is reported that sixteen of the
victims were British subjects.

People have an idea that the hen sits
on the eggs for time, and when the
time comes for Matching the chick bursts
forth. There never was a greater mis-
take. The chick, until liberated from
the shell by outside aid, is as incapable
of motion as if it formed a solid egg
which it nearly does. You might as well
enclose man in an iron boiler, and tell
him to get out of the shell without help.
The chick grows on the inside of the
shell, until at last the exerescence on the
point of the beak Of the bird presses
against the inside of the shell, and
bursts up very small scale. Of course
when it does this, it at the same time
breaks in that spot " the inside of the
egg. This admits the air in a short
time it breathes and gets strength to cry
loudly. The hen then sets to work TO
iberate it S; she brings it forward under
the feathers of the crop, and supporting
it between the breastbone and the nest.
begins the work of setting it free. She
bitches the point of her beak INTO the
hole formed by the raising of the scale
by the chicks beak, and breaks away
the egg-skin or shell all around the
greatest diameter of the egg. The joint
efforts of the hen without and the chick
within then hberate the prisoner, and
he struggles into existence, and gets
dry under the feathers and the natural
heat of the hen. All female birds which
sit on their eggs to hatch them have the
hook in the beak strongly developed.
Even the broad-billed duck and goose
have those hooks specially developed
and with them they iberate their
young. In Australia, where everything
seems to be by contraries, it is the cock
of the bush turkey that matches the
eggs, and not the hen. 1t would be in
teresting to know whether the hook of
the beak is better adapted for this SER
vice in the male bird than in the female.
The hook of the beak of the ordinary
cock of the common fowl is quite differ
ent from that of the hen-;t is adapted
for wounding in fighting, but not for
Matching of eggs.

Humorous.

WHAT is the difference between a
sailor and beer-drinker? One puts
his sail up snd the other puts his ale
down.
A DANBURY man awoke in the middle
of the night to comment upon the ex-
traordinary fact that the heaviest end
of match is its light end.
A MICHIGAN paper recently closed an
obituary notice with the misquotation.
Though dead, he yet squeaketh. The
printer, apparently, wasn't minding his
p's and as.
AN opponent of woman's rights to
hold school offices says that she can't
travel through snow-drifts with impu-
nifty. Why not let her travel with
horse and cutter, then?
"YoU ought to let me pass here free
of charge, considering the benevolent
nature of my profession, said physi-
clan to toll-gate keeper. "Not SO,
was the reply "you send too many
deadheads through here now" The
doctor did not stop to argue the point,
but paid his toll and passed on.
A BENNINGTON daughter, whose do
nestle nature is equal to her natural
simplicity, was invited by an Advent

can't, the maiden replied, father and
mother are going up, and somebody
must stay to see to the cattle.
A PROFESSOR in one of the Philadel-
phia medical colleges habitually puts
this simple conundrum to his class,
whenever he can find a class to put it
to: IF monabomanthraynino is OBJ
tanned by the oxidation of tryboman-
thracent, what would result from the
union of bihthaline with dilute dichlor,
or dibromanthracene disulphuric acid ?"
"Now, young people," said profess
or of natural history to his class, ''now
then as to hens. A hen has the capac-
ity of laying just 600 eggs, and no
more, and she finishes the job in just
five years. Now, what is to be done
with her after that ?" "Cut her head
off and sell her for spring chicken p
exclaimed an urchin whose father dealt
in poultry.
A Western reporter thus describes
the toilet of the belle at late ball ::
"She was magnificent in green calico
over crinOline full four inches larger
than the rest of her apparel, a white
apron with red strings, blue stockings,
yellow neck ribbon, and white cotton
gloves. Her redish hair was fastened
in pug behind, and well adorned with
the tail feathers of the rooster she had
for dinner"
