legal Holidays in the District.

From the tenor OF various enquiries reaching

siderable misunderstanding as to what are the
legal holidays III the District of Columbia The
existing legal holidays are set forth in section
1913 Revised Statutes as follows: The follow

commonly called New Years Day: the 18th of
July: the 18th OF December, commonly called
Christmas day. and any day appointed or re-
commended by the President OF the United
States as day OF public fast or THANKSGIVING
shall be holidays within the District. and
all notes, drafts, checks, or other COM
mercial or negotiable paper falling due or ma
turing on either OF said holidays shall be
deemed as having matured the day previous
Decoration dag Is not a legal holiday, and
There IS nothing pending before Congress TO
make II such. At the last session the Senate
passed a bill 10 so amend the section of Revised
Statutes above quoted as to make the 22d OF

House amended this bill by inserting :.1s79~ for

this amendment. and the bill now goes to the

he was made vice president and adopted an in

Somnambulism Extraordinary,

A son of Abram Matthushek, Ger
man living west and south of Sanilac,
met with a singular accident few
nights since. 1t seems that he and a
brother were sleeping in room which
is heated by drum on the pipe from
the stove below, and as there was a hot
fire below the boys room was very
warm. The boys retired early and about
9o'clock the family were startled by a
loud noise as though heavy body mad
fallen on the floor in the room above.
The father at once proceeded to the
room from which the noise came, and
was surprised to find one of the boys
lying on the floor in an insensible con-
dition. Medical aid was at once sum-
moned; in few hours the boy came
to, when he settled in the minds of those
present the cause which led to the acct
dent. He said he was dreaming of be-
ing in bathing and that he climbed up
on post to dive and that he struck his
head on the bottom, and it is evident he
got up in his sleep and took a ssheader''
from the bed-post. Luckily for him no
serious results came from his forcing Of
the season and he will be very likely to
lie still and let some one else do the
diving off Of bed-posts hereafter. Sam

Spring Poetry.-A Word OF Advice.

There need be no doubt in the mind
of any reader of the Free Press that it
is eager to secure odes to spring, idyls
on April, poems on May and blank verse
on green grass and budding vines. In
fact, we keep a traveling-man out all
the year round looking after such
things, and paying cash down in every
case. The trouble is to get enough OF
such poetry to supply the demands OF
our readers. Having said this much In
explanation we call the attention OF the
public to the following solemn facts:
In December, 1860, a lady in Kansas
forwarded us poem on spring, to be
laid way under brick until the goth of
March. She died within IA days after
mailing the poetry. Comment is need
less.
In March, 1867, student at Ann Ar
Dor forwarded poem of 40 lines on the
return of the robin. Before his robin
had uttered three squawks, or the poem
could be printed, the student was called
home to see his sister die. Does any
explanation seem necessary?
In 1873 lady in Elmira, N. T., sent
on eight verses of beautiful poetry on
"April Showers" About the time the
letter-carrier was saying that there was
six cents postage due on her letter she
was falling off a bridge near her home.
She never spoke after being pulled
ashore and wrung out. Truly, the ways
of Providence are mysterious.
Last year lawyer in Cleveland sent
us pound and half of blank verse on
the voice of the blue bird and the start
ing grass. His verses reached us one
rainy Thursday evening when all nature
seemed bent on having a good old cry,
and the voices of ward politicians came
up from the Sixth Ward with hollow
moan, and next morning the lawyer was
look on his face showed that he must
have suffered for hours and hours. The
Coroner's Jury returned a verdict that
the Free Press must be held blameless.
One short week ago young lady of
Western Michigan mailed us beautiful
ode to dying winter. The old man who
buys all the waste paper from this Office
had scarcely made an offer of cent and
q half per pound for the beautiful ode
when dispatch arrived saying that the
poor girl had been tossed on the horns
of a cow and had gone to join the
angels.
As stated at first, the Free Press is
eagerly searching for spring poetry, and
offering more pay than any other publ
cation in this country, but it must be ex-
plicitly understood that we can not be
held responsible for the sudden death of
the writers.-DetroR Free Press.
