The Poor to be cared for at Inst.

The Labor Exchange did a wise thing at
their meeting on Tuesday night in requesting
Judge Mac-irthur their president, to cal! a
public meeting at Wizards Hall tonight to
organize a society for the general relief Of the
poor of Washington; and, in order that there
may be no delay in getting to work, we sug-
gest that the carefully prepared constitution
and regulations Of the Aid Society, which some
of our most experienced citizens prepared last
year, and which were adopted at a public
meeting too late to put in practice, be rcadopt-
ed aud acted on at once, for never was there
greater need. We understand that abundant
funds arc ready to be poured into the proposed
treasury, and what is wanted most now Is
those persons who are willing to make slight
sacrifice of theI time to do the Indispensable
work of visiting the poor at their homes, with
out which prccaution the unworthy will he
surc to receive relief, to the detriment Of the
deserving, who most generally shrink from
asking. Let there be a large gathering, and
thcsmotto be, Deeds, not words"

WILD TURKEYS.
HOW TO HUNT THEM.

A couple of weii-hnown Gov
;ngton gentlemen, hearing OF
the Whereabouts of a flock of wild
turkeys, concluded that they'd 60
out one day this week and ''iust
take few of EN- in. As the To-
cality where the turkeys were last
seen was some miles from town,
they thought it would be more
pleasant to ride ont, SO they pro-
cured horse and buggy, and
getting their guns, ammunition, etc,
they started for the scene of con-
quest. When they reached the
spot where The work of destruction
was to commence, they silently
alighted from the buggy, unhitched
the horse and tied him securely to
tree, so that if he should get
frightened 1t the dead turkeys fall
ing around, lie couldn't run away.
This done, they proceeded to adj
vance, slowly and cautiously,
through tie woods, batting occa-
s;onai.y TO listen and give a few
'calls," so that the turkeys, which
were doubtless scattered, would
come running up to them and
meet their fate. THUS they con-
tinued to advance, being careful to
make no noise, and scanning every
tree and bush with eager eyes, and
only coLversing with each other
in suppressed whispers or knowing
glances. Not a sound arose to warn
the unsnsrecting turkeys of the
near approach Of the enemy, save
the occasional rnstling of dry leaf
or the swapping Of twig, incau-
siously crushed beneath their care
fui ieet The moments of painful
suspense multiplied into hours, ard
the hours increased, yet still they
continued to ''muva on" until
;hey found themselves just sever
miles from where they started.
Here whispered consultation gas
held, and they concluded to r,tltn,
so they silently retraced their steps,
in the same guarded and cautious
manner. But not even feather APP
peared to reward them for their
pains, and they failed to experience
that feeling of proud satisfaction
which is felt by the happy hunter
rs he sees the futtering game fall
at his feet. Yet 4 sensation of o
different kind awaited item, for
when they reached the starting
point they found that the horse was
gone. The faithful, buggy still stood
where they had left it, but the horse,
oh. where had he appeared to? A
dilligent search was made, but they
tailed to discover lis whereabouts.
Left in this unwelcome situation,
it was bu: natural for them to ex-
claim, i'll the words of Richard Ill,
A horse. A horse!
Nv shotgun for horse!
But tie horse failed to respond,
even with "neigh," so they
hitched the buggy to tree, Shout
dered their trus.y guns and walked
home, little approaching being left
Sin such dilemma" They no longer
conversed i'll suppressed tones, and
if their homeward journey was
"A slow one, it was not through any
hope of scaring up some game.
They went after turkeys and got
