A Reckless Constable.

1t sppears that the constables of the District
cannot be taught 10 respect individual rights.
Regardless of the admonitions of the courts
they will persist in making illegal and arbi-
trary seizures. A few days since a widow
lady residing near Fourth and streets north
west had her premises unceremoniously en-
tered by a constable OF the name of Larner,
who levied upon piano belonging to arother
party. The widow demonstrated with him,
but he persisted in taking it away, threatening
to break down the door of her house. No
male members of the family being present,
the piano was carried away, the owner being
deprived of its use until the well-known fact
of its ownership can be satisfactorily estab-
lished to the court. Tie time has come when
some of these lawless constables should be
made examples Of. They studiously avoid in.
terfering with men, but show no mercy in
their arbitrary dealings with unprotected
women.

The Washington Monument,

Lieutenant Colonels L. A. Gilmore, j. D.
Kurtz and ]. c. Duane, of the engineer corps
of the United States army, having the exam
instion of the foundation of the Washington
monument under their supervision, have en-
tered into contract for the boring of wells at
each corner of the structure. Just south of
the monument, on the edge of the foundation,
e well about five feet in diameter has been
sunk and covered over. It has already reached
a depth of twenty-one feet, and when It is
thirty-eight or forty feet deep ''crib" will be
inserted, the top of the we'll covered over and
the boring commenced. The boring-tools were
expected Saturday, and everything is expected
to be in readiness to commence boring to-day.
The augers will be of various sizes, but those
of the eight and fourteen-inch size will be the
ones principally used. At s feet deep the clay
was so hard that 1t was picked with difficulty.
1t hss changed very little since the digging
was commenced; it has, however, become a
little more sandy. The boring will be made
several hundred feet deep.

"My son." said pious father out on South
Hill to his hopeful son, "you did not saw any
wood for the kitchen stove yesterday, as
told you to; you left the back gate open and
let the COW get out; you cut off eighteen feet
from the clothes-line to make a lasso; you
stoned Mr.. Robinson's pet dog and famed it;
you put hard she'll turtle in the hired girls
bed: you tied strange dog to Mr.. Jacobsen's
door bell, and painted red and green stripes
on the legs of old Mrs. Polaby's white pony,
and hung your sisters hustle out in the front
window. Now, what am 1, what can do to
you for such conduct % "Are all the counties
heard from p' asked the candidate. The
father replied sternly, "No trifing, sir; no, 1
have yet several reports to receive from others
of the neighbors." "Then," replied the boy,
you will not be justified in proceeding to ex-
treme measures until the official count is in"
Shortly afserward the election was thrown
iuto the house, and before half the votes were
canvassed it was evident, from the peculiar
inionstion of the applause, that the boy was
badly beaten.-Burtington Hd0ksys.
