SHAD BAKE-Iu speaking of the shad bake
noticed in the Gazette of Friday and Saturday
last, at which stale shad from the Washington
fish market were served, the Chronicle of that
city says: 49, White u,u.o :, -.
Potomac, on Saturday, was success in every
respect. The party consisted of sixty or seventy
persons including number of prominent citi-
zens and several members of Congress There
was plenty to eat and drink. and sport enough
for many times the number of persons who took
part Secretary Belknap, Senators Chandler
and Ramsay, and Representative Eldredge were
among those who returned we'll satisfied with
the trip"
The New York Herald's Washington cores
poudent, speaking of the same affair, says:
1.-THE Board of Public Works hai no difficulty
m securing the attendance Of large number of
Senators rs guests at shsd bake down the 20
tomac to-day. The House was invited and yes
terday tried to adjourn until Monday. By the
sound the Speaker said the yeas had 1t, but when
the yeas and nays were called the nays had it,
self-respect preventing number from going on
the record in favor of adjournment, so only
twenty or thirty members absented themselves
as the guests of tho Governor and Lobbyists Of
the Board. No wonder the lovers of wine and
dainty delicacies in the House were sorrowful
that they were compelled to waste the day in
frivolous efforts to tinker 9 finances II would
have been lar more agreeable had the House ad-
journed and permitted the members to enjoy
this little effort at disinterested hospitality. An
other excursion, how. yer, will be PR jected when
the absorbing question of finance is disposed OF,
and the House taken care OF in a tender manner"

The Closing of an Era.

The death of Mr.. Sumner reminds us
Of the havoc that has been made in
the ranks of those who stood forward
as the champions of the Union in the
hour of its supreme struggle. 1t was
but little more than dozen years ago,
and yet a majority of the best known
have disappeared. Take Lincoln's
first administration, for instance;
seven of its members are gone, viz:
Lincoln himself; Seward, his Secretary
of State; Chase and Fessenden, both
of his Secretaries of the Treasury;
Stanton, Secretary of War; Caleb b.
Smith, Secretary Of the Interior; and
Edward Bates, Attorney General. Be-
sides these may be mentioned as
among the representative and potent
men of that era, now no more, Thad-
deus Stevens, John P. Hale, Horace
Greeley, and John A. Andrew. None
of these fell in hattie, though the war
may have shortened their lives. Great
-- crises are devouring in their nature; if
men live fast in them they, also die
fast, In q few years it is only here
and there that the rising generation
will be pointed to some spared monu-
ment Of the second revolutionary age
in the history of the republic. Let
them be treated with the consideration
due to the magnitude of the cause they
upheld, wherein their fidelity must
tell upon all our lives like the very
sunlight and air of heaven. The era,
too, Of WHICH they formed part, is
closed. No portentious cancer re-
mains to be cut out of the nations
heart; the Union is re-established on
imperishable foundations, II only we
keep it there. Henceforth we are to
be concerned, apparently, only with
small matters in comparison-with
measures Of finance, Of domestic pol
icy, of civil service system, and just
administration. And yet, in this
humber plane of duties there Is no
better example left to us than that Of
Charles Sumner. The same lofty con-
ceptions of duty, the same constant
appeal to pure principle, is needed to
carry the nation through its besetting
dangers, which are none the less for
midable because they are ordinary and
unobtrusive in appearance.-[Boston
