FALLEN.

ADzughter shamed-A Father Grief Stricken.
nwas Just after dark last night. Ayoung
man and woman walked slowly and apparently
unconcerned along D street. She was dressed
fashionably and expensiyely, and her pretty
face wore timid, half scared look as she
drew back from the gaze of passers by. When
they reached the sidewalk in front of q certain
house of ill-rcpute, they stopped, looked
quickly back to zee that they were not OBJ
served, and then FASTENED up the rickety steps
at pace quite at variance with their former
slow gate. The door was opened, and the
couple disappeared in the dark hallway.
The door had hardly closed upon them
when the figure of an old gentleman appeared
on the corner last turned by the guilty couple.
Up and down he looked, straining his aged
eyes to catch sight of somebody who had evil
IDENTIFY disappeared around that corner just
before he reached It. Not seeing those for
whom be was looking, he tottered along the
walk, Peering into the store WINDOWS as ne
pass ed in hopes that he might thus find them.
His pained and furtive look attracted the at
teptiop of several. One who observed him had
also observed the sudden disappearance of the
young couple, and he quickly discerned how
matters were situated.
He communicated with the old gentle
man, and informed him of the whereabouts of
the couple. The old man mounted the rick
ETY. steps and disappeared in the dark hall,
and learned his daughters disgrace. About q
quarter of an hour afterward the old nan re-
appeared upon the steps with face white
with agony and lips tightly compressed. A
young woman, veiled closely, and bowed with
shame more than the old man was with age,
clung to his arm. They moved down the
street; the one disgraced and in deep shame,
the other a broken-hearted old man. Not q
word was spoken, and nothing broke the
silence between them except now and then a
sob from underneath the veil. They moved
away and disappeared in the restless throng of
wayfarers.

BOSS TWEED'S RETURN.
Iconssnsed from Fret Psse.l

MAYORS and Governors and Judges Of the high
est dignity in the State; his daring sacrilege
upon The ballot box to affect national elections
his fagrant robbery of the public treasury BY
felony and forgery; his seizure b. the aid Of corr
Tupt Judges Of great corporations, Of soulless
railroads and charitable trust companies; his In
sOlent .dictation to caucuses, conventions and
Serates; the shameless debaachery and almost
social liie-all these Incidents, only half re-
yealed to public gaze, have in them less Of the
elements Of pure romance than the events
Of the past year
probably q short, sharp trial leading inevitably
TO State prison. We hear Of one contingency
that promises him some relief, but the conditions
are so lar removed from the seeming possibilities
high in ofice and position that they may yet
serve him that we anticipate no result alike ad-
yantageous to the public good and to the pris-
oner. But in any event, whether he seeks safety
and silently suffers his punishment, the end for
him is hardly different. In the one case q brief
delay in a contracted cell OF the debtors prison.
a short, quick trial with overwhelming evidence
against him, and only technical bubbles in his
defense, and then long confinement in State
prison. In the other event, a longer delay under
civil attachment. but finally release, banishment
and infamous obscurity. Neither fate is to be
envied; either sacrifice Tweed may well shudder
to contemplate.
Another feature of the altered situation is one
which has more terrors for others than for Tweed
himself, if 1t be true that Woodward can estab-
lish as well as Tweed the corruption and fraud by
which men still high in authority obtained their
power What 1t is possible TO prove In this direc-
tion, how far the further reformation of courts
and Legislature and State Offices is concerned
through the instrumentalty Of the present cap
tives, remains o problem whose future solution
terry is a source Of constant anxiety to many
hearts.

A Teacher Gone to Her Rest.

The death of Miss Ida NJ. Humphrey, one of
the most efficient teachers in the public schools
of South Washington, which occurred early
Friday morning, was learned on the assem-
bling OF the schools yesterday, and cast a
gloom over the entire community. Miss Pun
phrey's service in the public schools began
with her appointment in November, 1870, six
years ago, and her superiority early became
apparent. Her zeal was so great In the school,
room that remonstrance was of no avail in
checking her excessive devotion to duty.
The schools OF the Fourth district were
closed yesterday as a mark of respect to her
memory, and the teachers assembled in Jeffer-
son building at noon to arrange for attendance
at the funeral. Trustee Lloyd was called to
the chair, and, after resolving to attend the
funeral in body, committee was appointed
to prepare resolutions Of respect and condol-
ence. The committee reported the following,
which were adopted:
WhSress an allwise Providence has sum-
moned from our midst one of our number who
was pre-. eminent for her untiring zeal in her
profession; and whereas we desire to give ex-
preston to our appreciation of her worth as q
friend and q cotescher, we, therefore,

one who rendered conspcuously efficient SER
vices in the cause to which she dedicated her
life and for which she made so many sacrifices;
and as we call to mind her devotion to duty
and her intelligence and zeal we will gather
strength from her bright example.
ReSoleed, That we extend to the family of
the deceased our heartfelt sympathy and con-
dolence in this their great bereavement, and
join with them in mourning the loss Of one so
tenderly beloved.
ResOlred, That an engrossed copy of these
resolutions be sent to the family.

The Exchange.

notwithstanding the multiplicity Of saloons
existing in this city the fact is patent that
there are very few where gentlemen can OBJ
tain the choice productions Of the market
cooked and dressed to their tastes and fancy.
This want will now be supplied. Messrs.
Tally & Heath, gentlemen we'll known to this
community, have taken steps to remedy this
fault. They have erected a fine building on
E street, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets northwest, which will be known in
the future as 1.-THE Exchange" There they
propose to have as elegant an eating and
drinking saloon as the city can boast. The
bill of fare will embrace the best that land
and water can supply, and the wines and
liquors will be Of the finest brands. The pro-
prietors intend to give their personal and un-
divided attention to the establishment, and
its success is, therefore, assured. This after
noon at 5 o'clock they extend compliments 10
their army of friends and bid them welcome
to their house-warming. Let all attend the
opening matinee.

Merit Recopnized.

Benson's Capcine Porous Plaster received
the highest and only reward Of merit at the
Philadelphia Exposition over all articles Of
like character, proving by the highest medical
authority in the world that they are greatly
superior to ordinary porous plasters, and not
a patent medicine, as no nostrums were al
lowed to be exhibited there. Benson's Cap
cine Porous Plaster is positively the best ex-
ternal remedy ever devised. They relieve
pain at once, and cure where other porous
plasters only relieve after long use. Over
three thousand physicians now recommend
their use, and they are sold by druggists
everywhere. Price, % cents.
