a somewhat larger company than usual assem-
bled at Mr.. E!ns's Saturday evening, doubtless
with the hope of seeing and greeting him and bis
bride. But in this they were doomed to disap-
pointment. Whether Mr.. K. fell in with some
t'ancient mariner" in one OF the seaports he
visited, who "h cid him with his glittering eye"

has made the hours fly so rapidly last week that
the happy couple "took no note of time, we know
not but the fact was that Mr.. and Mrs X. failed
to put in an appearance, though confidently ex-
pected, as we understand, by the members Of his
family. But Mrs. Il ing .fLle, assisted by her
cousin, Prof. X, principal OF the Wayland Semi
nary, kept up, as usual, the reputation OF the
mansion for hospitality, and received the guests
with WOnted coruiality. The principal feature OF
the evening was the reading Of an able and in
teresting paper by Mr.. A. r. SpOford, Librarian
of Congress, on "Temperaments," which, while
displaying much eruditiOn, was enliVened by
numerous happy hits. This was followed by reel
tations by Mrs. Gen. Rutherford, in her pecu-
larIy felicitous manner, of THE Dying Brigand,"
and "a Little Goosie." Miss Florence Schhecker,
the charming young mUsicienne, then sang a
sweet solo from Faust" and in response to an
encore gave, assisted by Mrs. Schliecker, her
mother. an italian duet, 'See the Pale Moon"
The company then INDUCED in the usual pleas

Church Trouble.

For some time past, it is reported, there has
been existing against the pastor Of the Second
Baptist church, Rev. Madison Gaskins, consider
able ilfeeling on the part Of some Of his oongre-
grafton, and in consequence o meeting was held
Friday night to take action in reference thereto.
The cause Of the dislike arises from the fact that
tist church several years ago, because OF charge
OF his having two wives. Those opposed to him
were not strong enough, as It appears that his
preside. 1t is asserted by his opponents that he
ruled out everything tending TO his prejudice.

Of the fine effect Of the ladys splendid rendering

Emharras das Rinhassas.

The Khedive of Egypt has laid the daughter of
General Sherman under the "embarras des rich
esses," by presenting her with diamonds worth a
quarter Of million. She seems, according to the
wise newspapers, to have more wealth than she
knows what TO do with. Manager Briggs, Of the
Public Library Of Kentucky, Is about to serve
9th Of the month he will present like sum in
greenbacks to some lucky ticketholders in his

widely scattered, and will amount In all to two

finally cures.
No USE Of any longer taking the large, repul-
sive gripping drastic and nauseous pills, composed
Of crude and bulky ingredients, and put up in
cheap wood or pasteboard boxes, when we can, BY
. careful application Of chemical science, extract
all the cathartic and other medicinal properties
from the most valuable roots and herbs, and con-
centrate them into q minute Granule, scarcely
larger than q mustard seed, that can be readily
swallowed by those Of the most sensitive stomaehs
and IastidIous tastes. Each of DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets represents, In q most
concentrated form, as much cathartic power as Is
embodied in any Of the large pills found for sale
in the drug stores. From their wonderful cathar-
tic power, in proportion to their size; people who
have not tried them are apt to suppose that they
are harsh or drastic in effect but such Is not at
ciples Of which they are composed being so har-
moniEed, one by the others, as to produce most
operating catnartic. The Pellets are sold BY
dealers in medicines.

T. Edward Clark & Co.

In all references to the progress Of this city, It
is . pleasant thing to point out, now and then,
the Individual enterprises which contribute so
much toward building up the strong and even
foundations on which the commercial character Of
Washington rests. The business men Of this
place maintain deservedly high rank for honor,
courage and Judgment, and the transactions az
gregating annually to many millions Of dollars
are, as rule, without single flaw. Our mer-
chants are rarely in court for local purposes and
the scene is still more rare where q foreign
dealer is obliged to have recourse to
the law for settlement Of accounts.
1t Is in this connection that a pleasant
feeling comes up in reference to the HelI-estsb-
lished and most reputable firm OF T. Edward
CLARK & Co., dealers in wood and coal. For
twenty years this house has been dealing with
the citizens of this District and all the time SO
faithfully executing its contracts as to win con-
stantly cumulating regard. Their wharf depot
and planning mill az the foot Of Fourth street east
is one Of the busiest marts Of trade in the city.
The firm now has contracts with the Government
departments for supplying them with wood and
coal and also with the entire city government,
including the schools Of the city, Georgetown
and the county, larger contract, probably, than
ever before undertaken by single firm doing q
similar business here. The immense orders In
volved in these contracts are being filled promptly
and regularly, and with that exact quality Of
merchandise agreed upon. Their Offices, Go
Louisiana avenue and 723 Eighth street SOUTH
east alive with customers, who like to be sure
of getting at the lowest rates possible, wood and
coal in scripture measure.
