The Christian Union thinks 1t wonder
full that "to day the two Prime Minis.
tsrs OF Great Britain and France, Benja-
min DisrAeli and j ulss Simon, are both
Jews" In point Of fact NJ. Jules Simon,
has not b. on Prime Minister of France
since the coup de tete Of May 10, 1877 nor
ls he even q member Of the Waddington
Cabinet. He does not eveu happen to be
\ Hebrew, but IL native Of M or biham;
from the fact that his family name Is
Suisse, he has been erroneously set
down by some writers a. a native of
Switzerland. I Precisely why the Christidn
Union should have fancied that NJ. Simon
was one of the chosen people is not
very clear, especially as In February
last, when his son, M. Gustave Simon,
marred Mile. Sarah Sourd +, rich jew

marriage, because 1t was mixed union.

The third trial of Edward Ray, better
known as Major L. II. Curtis, commences to.
day, in tho Criminal Court, before Justice
Hagner 1t will be remembered that the
accused, on March %, 1871 brought young
lady name Miss Ella Tidings from Baltimore,
Nd, to this city, with the ostcnsible purpose of
taking her to Alexandria, Va, there to become
a chld's nurse for his sisters daughter. De-
ceiving her with the statement that trains had
ceased running to Alexandria for the night,
although IL was not then dark, he took her to
the National Hotel and secured rooms pa I'm
ing her off to the employees, unbcknowns to
her, as his sister. In the night he entered her
room and, it is charged, there committed the
crime for which he stands indicted. He was
tried and convicted March o. 1873, and now
trial granted in consequence of improper con-
duct on tho part of some Of the jurymen. At
the second trial, April "a, 1873, the jury failed
to agree. He has now been In Jail since Jan
uary II, 1873. 1t is said that there will be
some new and important evidence introduced
on the part of the prosecution, which will
greatly strengthen their case.

Easter customs are gradually dying out
among the children. The small boy who used
to go about and invite folks to "picli eggs"
with him, is no longer seen on the streets.
His disappearance is probay due to a strike
among the hens. In 1876 Congress passed the
following:
BE eaacied By he Senate and House Of RCDrcsnitr.
tires Of the UniCd States Of America IN (Oigrcss as
sCinbled That 1t shall be the duty of the Cap!tol
police hereafter 10 prevent any portion of the Can't
grounds or otherwise so far as may be necessary 10
protect the public property, turf aud grass from
destruction or injury.
This came near putting an end to tho time
honOrcd custom of eggrollng. The fact that
Easter Monday was struck out Of the list of
regular holidays in the public schools prob.
ably also had its effect in partially celebrating
the custom. The grounds of the Executive
Mansion was the only place left after the
children were driven out of the Capitol
grounds by Congress. This year the school
children have holiday, and will probably have
n revival of their discretionary sports Cap.
tain Blackr ford, of the Capitol police, calls at
tcntion TO the fact that his force have positive
instructions te enforce the law quoted above
and no egg,rolling will be allowed in the Cap
itOl grounds.

ton against Henry William Miles for breach of
promise to marry, and laid her damaged atfcc.
tions at 81 600. Both of the parties are col
orcd. In the bill the plaintiff states that about
July 15 1875, at No. 1903 p street northwest,
the defendant agreed to marry her and fixed
the time for the performance Of the nuptials
September ID, 1876 She was in readiness at
that time to fulfill the contract, but he refused,
and pleaded for delay. On May /, 1873, while
they were both at the st. Cloud building, he
renewed the promise, and agreed that the mar
rage should be consummated OH the 9th of
June following. She prepared her wedding
clothes and was in readiness at that day to
keep the bargain, but he again refused. By
his repeated refusals and neglect TO keep his
word she has suffered in mind and reputation,
and been injured to the extent of the amount
of the damages claimed.

BALTIMoREs DEFEATED.

The Result of Saturdays Baseball Match.
Despite the cold, raw weather, there was
large audience on the grounds last Saturday to
witness the game between the National and
Baltimore clubs, ahd the exhibition, to some
extent, repaid the spectators for their endur-
ancc of tho disagrecable weather. BY TINS
time the public know the composition oil the
home team. That representing Baltimore is
entirely new to the Monumental City, with the
exception of Shetzlnc who played there last
year. One man. Sullivan is from this city,
and the remaining seven players came from
Boston and that vicinity. They wore n neat uni
form of gray suit and red stockings aud belts,
with caps to correspond. The Nationals had on
the old nondescript attire, being compelled to
wear it on account of the non-arrival of their
suits, but they have received notice that they
are on the way.
The Baltimores won the toss and sent their
opponents to the bat. Shaughncssy, the pitcher
for the visitors, began to show his mettle, aud
IL was about the widest display seen for many
day. lie was everywhere with the ball, ex-
ceptng over the home plate at the proper
height, and during the seven innings he man
aged to hit nine men. but fortunately did no
serious injury. About tho third, fourth, and
18th innings the Nationals got his measure.
and, understanding him pretty thoroughly,
handled the ash with skill. and accumulated
thirteen runs. In batting Derby, Baker, and
Lynch did the most execution, and appearances
indicate that the latter has regained his lost
power in that respect. The Baltimores were
strangely weak at the bat, where they had the
reputation Of being remarkably strong, but
possibly will improve with practice. In the
matter of errors they enjoyed all the glory,
making twenty-sx to four against the Ma
l. Ti,n ell md indi
the exception of brilliant play now and then.
