The Richuotl Enquirer INDUCES 10 the fol-
lowing remarks upon the ''day we celebrate -
1T used to be celebrated with great rejoiciugs
as the birthday of Gen. George Washington,
and particularly in Virginia. But many PEG.
pie now have forgotten who Washington was,
while others don't believe there ever was any
such man. He is better known, and has more
fame abroad than in his own country; but after
q while, when We shall have lost our liberties,
We will perhaps remember Washington, and
keep bis birthday wholly.

A Senate Republican caucus was held oD
Saturday night, and it seems to be The desire
of the majority to press the Civil Rights BILL

Thurlow Weed on the Situation.

The New York Tribune, of Saturday, con
taius letter from Mr. Thurlow Weed, adj
dressed to MIR. Vivus W. Smith, in which e
discusses the defeat of the Republican party
add the political situation generally tie CLAIMS
that the Republican"party is not responsible
for the general stagnatiou in business, but adj
mits that the administration has failed TO 40
much that might have been done to relieve and
mitigate the evils which have resulted. 1t
might also 10 doing some things and in emitting
to do others have claimed rather than eXaspc-
rated popular feeling. The administration was
seriousls weakened aud wounded by the con-
gressiona "back-pay grab" by Treasury De,
partment imbecilities, by Sauborn contracts,
aud " ashugton city government frauds
Mr.. Weed treats the third term propo-
sition boldly, holding that it would be most
revolutionary precedent and a dangerous silg-
ma to attach to any party, and arralsns frcs,-
dent Grant for falling to utter word Whicn
could have been used by his friends as denial
of such design. He then discusses the tuan-
cia questions, expressing the opinion that the
RESUMPTION of specie payment is entirely plac'
ticable within reasonable time, but declares
that to accomplish this reIrenchment and 4 de-
termination to dispense with luXurles must oe
adopted and rigidly adhered 10.
The letter goes on to show that contraction
of the currency is desirable, but not imperative

after all They lay out grounds like the
parks of an English nobleman.. They
build houses which are palaces indeed IN
point of size and hotels in their general
effect. Mr.. Cookies Ogontz had titty-five

with whom he was always overrun. A
generous, most hospitable man, 1T was
his delight to he surrounded by people,
and Ogontz not being large enough to
accommodate all who We're happy to
board at his expense, he put up another

At the convention of fire engineers, in
New York, an address was made by Mr..
Joseph Williams, president of the Wash

the subject of paying the expenses of
the meeting. Mr.. Williams thought the
treat ought to be ut the cost of the in
surance companies, and he is reported
pressed his opinion with the lively re-
marx that "the only way to get square
was to do as the boys did in old times.
When q party refused to contribute to
our support we spotted his house, and
when a fire came we saved the adjoining
property and permitted his to be burn.

A Narrow Escape.
From the Drunswicker.

A man and his wife, seeking to
break themselves of a habit of
fretting and scolding, enteredinto
an agreement Of this nature: The
one who first lost temper with the
other or with the childrenWas be
published by tLeotheras ''scold "
The medium through which this
humiliating intelligence was to be
communicated to the world WAS
not specified in the contract, but
the husband understood it to be
through the BJu1slUjcker. The
wife nearly bit the end Of her
tongue off in the first days trial,
swapping up the harsh worls
which tried to escape her lips
But both were diSma!ly peaceful
until the afternoon OF the second
day, when the husband flew into
a passion simply because one OF
the children polished his stock
inged foot with Il blacking brush
while he was taking his usual nap
At the first burst of anger his
wife quietly arose and put on her
bonnet.
"Where are you going?" he in
quired, suspiciously.
"To publish you, she replied.
"Oh, well, go ahead; the boys
at the office won't give me much
of blast
"But I'm not going to the print
ing Office"
"Where, then?' he asked in sur
prise.
"To the sewing society"
That brought him to terms. and
long and earnestly he begged her
not to make his weakness known
throughout the length and brea tth
of the land. Finally, in consid-
Grafton of a new silk dress by
him to her delivered, she agreed to
let him off. But it was a narrow
escape.
