THE AVENUE COBBLEsTONEs.
District Attorney Birney's Opinion.

In reply to the question referred by the Dis
trict Commissioners to the attorney for the
District, as to whether the District has the
property right in the cobblestones of the paved
track of the Washington and Georgetown rail-
road, Mr.. Birney says ''I think not. If any
such right existed in the District 1t would have
been received by it from the late corporation
of Washington. But that corporation never
had, to my knowledge, any property right in
the pavement on Pennsylvania avenue. The
cobblestone pavement of Pennsylvania avenue,
Of which the pavement of the tracks of the
railroad is part, was originally put down in
or about the year 1S47. An. appropriation of
$4,000 for paving this avenue was made
March 3, 1874. This cobblestone pavement
was in good repair at the date of the building
of the railroad track. The charter of the rail-
road company was granted in 1862, and
the road was built soon after. 1t was laid
down upon the cobblestone pavements, of
which only so much was displaced as was
necessary to give room to the cross-ties and
tracks. The chatter required the company to
keep the tracks, the spaces between the tracks,
and two feet outside of the tracks ''well paved
and in good order" All subsequent repairs
by the company have probably not required
any appreciable addition to the cobble-stones.
1HC dIb VI NOuSLOsc VI oulJ Q, lOIO, JHG
paving of this avenue, section s, provides that
the cost of laying down said pavement shall
be borne and paid for by the company "for
that portion of the work between the tracks
and distance OF two feet on each side there
Of" The act gives to the company the right
to construct that portion of the pavement
which it ic required to pay for under the direc-
tion of the Commissioners, and If said COM
pany shall not construct that portion of said
work with the same material, except between
the rails and the tracks, and In as salts >
tory manner, and as rapidly as the residue
of said work shall be constructed, then the
same shall be constructed under the direc-
tion Of said Commissioners in the same
manner as the other portion of said work.
The company shall have the right to select
the material with which the pavement be-
tween the rails and between the tracks shall
be made. l am advised that the railroad
company, in making the pavement required
by this law, used the cobblestones already
there, and which were the property of the
United States. 1t would be we'll, think, to
inquire into the truth of this. If on inquiry 1t
should prove true, no, right In the stones was
acquired by the railroad company. The ma
terial, therefore, of the pavement Of the track,
between the tracks and two feet outside of
the same is that of the original pavement laid
down under the law of Congress of 1S47. 1t
belongs to the United States, and is under
charge of the engineer-in-chief of the United
States army.

oldast Inhabitants, Association.

Last evening a well-attended meeting of the
Oldest Inha bitants' Association was held at
the City Hall. Br. Blake tpresided, and Col
II. n. Easily, secretary. After the regular
opening services, Mr.. Wn. Cannon was admit
ted to the association.
A letter was received from Mr.. George
White, thanking the association for their at
tention tC his late father. In the letter Mr..
White commented upon the excellent workman
ship in the draft of resolutions, which were
presented to the family, and were drafted by
Capt. Bruf.
The art souvenir, prepared by Capt. Bruff,
of which mention was made in Yesterdays
REPUBLICAN, was exhibited, and a motion
was made and carried to have it framed.
Marshal S. Mast made motion for the ex-
pulsiOn of nOn-payiDg members who did not
pay up their arrearages within three months
or give satisfactory reasons why it was not az
tended to, and that in case the resolution was
adopted that copy of it be sent to delin-
Quents.
The debate on the resolution was spirited
and protracted. 1t was finally adopted. The
president called attention to the fact that
new album for the photographs of members
had been procured, and requested those who
had not contributed their own to do so. 1t
ESs q subject of qualification that their albums
contained photographs Of nearly all their de-
ceased members, but there were many of the
living members whose pictures had not been
furnished. He earnestly appealed to them to
attend TO the subject at once. The association
then adjourned.

A CENTENNIAL ACCIDENT.
Frailty Of French Porcslains-Their Exquisite
Beauty Of Design and Finish.

/ The visitor to the Exposition who has
fingered by the Asiatic porcelains, who has
gone into ecstaci2s over the fine texture, the
satin smoothness, the surface sheen, the eX-
travagance of decorative; designs, the wealth
OF color of rainbow hues, and sky tints, and
sea tints, as if nature herself had impaired
her prismatic secret-may yet find here and
there piece or set in the European displays
more satisfying to his aesthetic sense than
these bewildering combinations. For in
stance, in the display of the French firm of
Haviland & Co. there was, until a week since,
a tete-d-tete set in Sevres that had dared the
extreme of beauty and ..reposed in the very
realization of the ideal. 1t consisted of eight
pieces-a salver, two cups and saucers, tea
pot, pitcher and sugar-bowl. Each piece
showed in its inner surface the pink flush of
the queens couch, and on the outer the soft
black shade of velvet pansy. Held to the
sun the roseate lining glowed like light diff
fused through the shadowed surface.
The artistic design was after the Byzantine
conception, each piece rising from its base with
sharp angles, and spreading like the lotus
bloom, without curve, to the encircling edge or
meeting at apositiye inclination the descending
slope of the cover. The narrow, gilded handles
rose at the same sharp angle like lines of fire,
bending again to meet the upper edge, and so
falling with wonderful eXactness into required
relation with the general contour. The only
curves were the bounding edges, but in the very
