The beautiful festival of Easter, which is
growing into more general and more afcc-
tionate observance every year, was celebrated
in this city yesterday with great splendOr.
The musical services III most of the Roman
Catholic and Episcopal churches were very
elaborate, and the decorations of flowers
which belong 10 this anniversary above all
others, by association and exquisite fitness as
well as 10y the order OF nature, were in many
cases exceedingly beautiful.
A little publicity j. an excellent thing, now
and then The special attention directed by
TIE TRIBUNE 10 the case of Keeper Ludlow,
of the fe-SGWng Service, has been the means
of disclosing a much more seriOns case of
neglect Of duty. Keeper Ludlow was sometimes
absent from has post. but never without leaving
a substitute behind him; Keeper Newman,
however, ls accused by his own subordmates
OF gross indifference to his duties, taking no
care to keep the apparatus OF his station in
proper order, never drilling his men. etc
The stern justice with which Keeper LudiOw's
case was decided leaves no doubt that, if
these charges aTe sustained 10y the testimony,
Newman will soOn cease to be Keeper.
The bill reported by Mr.. Sloan's Committee

no reason 10 suppose. however, that 1t will be

made is that which requires the business of
the corporations to be reported in detail to

THE LATE ASSEMBLYMAN WASH.

Robert L. Wash, the Representative in the
Assembly from Lincoln County. who died in
his bed at early hour of yesterday morn
ing, was native of Albemarie County, Vlr-
ginia, unmarried and aged about As years.
He came here more than a fortnight ago and
had already become known to many of our
citizens as quiet, gentlemanlike. affIble
man. Some days since he took bath at the
Warm Springs, and upon coming into the air
took violent cold. H. took to his bed at
once and was confined to his apartments i'll
Judge WATTS building until he died. About
midnight of Tuesday, Col Allen, one of his col
leagues who roomed near him, saw him com
fcrtably bestowed for the night and went to
bed. Yesterday morning when he went to
see his invalid friend he found him stone
dead. Probably, like many cOnsumptives he
died, quietly, in his sleep. This death
leaves a vacancy which must be filled by a
special election. Of course, the Executive
must have official notice of the death of the
deceased Assembyman before he can issue
his proclamation. The deceased was an old
Sierra County man, an early conner to the
Pacific Coast and pioneer of Nevada. May
the sagebrush grow green ahove his grave.

Alexander II. stephens for Gen. Hancock
WASHINGTON. September l.

WASHINGTON, September l.
I am permitted by A. H. Stephens, of
Georgia, to send you the substance of a
recent conversation in which he ex-
pressed his views on current political
questions with some freedom. He has
been engaged at Long Branch in the re-
vision of the rules of the House, and it is
his opinion that should the House of Rep
resentatives sanction the changes unani-
mously coucurred in by the Committee
on Rules lately convened at that point it
will much simplify legislation and add
greatly to the dispatch of business.
There has been no points of attrition be-
tween the Republican and Democratic
members, and the committee had harmo.
niously labored to makesnch changes ire
spective of partisan motive as would serve
to facilitate legislative business.
The reporter asked Mr. Stephens about
the Presidential preference of the Geor-
gia Democrats. He replied that there
was little expression of feeling there on
the matter, and that the Democracy
wanted good and safe man who could
be elected. He for his own part thought
General Hancock probably the best
choice and certainly the most available
among all those mentioned. The cam
paign was likely to turn on the issues of
the extra session-local self-government
and freedom of elections. General Han
cock had shown capacity for civil admin
istration in Louisiana and Texas and
great respect for the laws of the land
and their supremacy over the edicts Of
the military. He thought the best
pledge the Democracy could give the
country against the reactionary purposes
charged by the Radical press and orators
would be the nomination of a great SOL
dier like Hancock, whose name and
fame were identified with the results of
the war. He thought Mr.. Tilden had
few supporters in Georgia. Mr. Stephens
health unfortunately has not been i'm
proved by his stay at Long Branch. He
complains much of the effect on himself
of the damp climate there-Speciai Dis

Washington ssMoonshiners."
WASHINGTON, September 9

w AoalNHlON, SSPtCnioSt -
The discovery of gang of veritable
"moonshiners" in the capital city Of the
United States attracted much attention
to-day, and drew a large crowd to the
Office of United States Commissioner
Plant, where the hearing took place.
For some time it has been rumored that
there were illicit stills in operation in
the District, and this morning the rumor
proved true. United States Deputy
Marshal Taylor, Police Lieutenant
Noonan and several internal revenue
officers ascertained that still was in op-
Grafton in a store at 1881 1, between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, once
known as Kidwell's drug store, and now
use by F. I. Brooke & Co. as provision
and meat store. The site was in one of
the most aristocratic portions of the city,
within few hundred yards of the in
ternal revenue Office, and but little further
distant from the Presidents house. A
raid was arranged and made just before
noon to-day. Mr.,Brooke was arrested at
his store door, and, on ascending the
stairs, the officers found distillery capa-
BILE of Making 300 gallons of spirits in
operation. The practical distiller, Rich
ard Burke, was arrested here, with
Charles O'Brien and a companion. All
the others found on the premises and
who came there were also arrested, and
Gauger Bliss examined and noted the
strength of the mashes which lay in the
tubs awaiting distillation. One of the per-
sons, NJ. Lewis, who was arrested, ran
of, but was captured and brought back,
and the entire party, which, with the Of
ficers, made a considerable throng,
moved to the United States Commission
er's Office, where R. T. Dyer, James R..
Young, Charles O'Brien, F. 1 Brooke.
Richard Burke and Marion Lewis were
placed on trial before United States
Commissioner Plant. The case was par
TALLY heard and then postponed until
Thursday. Lewis and O'Brien were re-
leased upon their own recognizances, R..
T. Dyer, F. I. Brooke and James R..
Young held in 5000, and Richard Burke
in 81 900 bail for further appearance.
Charles O'Brien, one Of the party, was
formerly metropolitan policeman.
he killed man named Cunning
ham, at Green Springs, near Georgetown,
and was sentenced to be hung, Thy inter-
position of General Butler and the Grand
Army Republic the sentence was COM
muted to Imprisonment for life in the
Albany penitentiary. Some two years
ago, after he had been in the peni-
tentiary, he was pardoned on the
ground that he was too i'll to live. His
wife remarked while he was in the peni-
tentiary, and he has since been at litiga-
ton with her concerning the custody of
the children.

AN INSTANTANEOUS AND PERPETUAL
FIRE WITHOUT WOOD OR CoAL.-A cor
respondent has sent us startling letter
from Miss M. Betham-E Edwards, from
which we give an extract: 81 send you
the following particulars ofar recent scien-
ti6c invention, just patented, and des-
tined, without doubt, to play very i'm
portant part in our economic history. 1
think it must be regarded as solution,
for once and for all, of the great coal
question, not only among ourselves, but
abroad. M. Bourbonnel, OF Dion, the
celebrated lion and panther slayer,
lighted upon the following discovery by
hazard, and after six years persistent
investigation, brought it to entire work
able perfection. He discovered, by
means of two natural substances, mex
haustible in nature, the means of lighting
and maintaining fire without wood or
coal; fire instantaneously lighted and
extinguished fire causing no dust,
smoke or trouble; fire costing one
tenth, at least, of ordinary fuel; and,
what is more wonderful still, ire, the
portion of which answering to our fuel
is everlasting-that is to say, would last
lifetime. M. Bourbonnel's invention
comprehends both stove and fuel. The
fires could be on the minutest scale or
on the largest. They would be used for
heating a baby's food or for roasting an
OF. Being lighted instantaneously they
will be a great economy of time. NJ.
Bourbonnel at once patented his inven-
ton, and body of engineers and savants
from Paris visited him and pronounced
his discovery one of the most remarkable
of the age. He has had several offers
for the purchase of the patent in
France, but wants to sell it in England,
his own occupation being in another line.
Any English gentleman or firm wishing
to see his fires or stoves could do so by
writing to him day or two beforehand.
His address is NJ. Bourbcnnel, Dion.
I have seen these fires and
stoves. There is no mistake about the
matter. II is as clear rs possible that
here we have perpetual and economi-
cal source of fuel. Two hundred years
ago the discoverer would surely have been
burned as wizard" d."-London AthcnGum.

or modern warfare"
When new edition of Roemer's work
on cavalry is written it is to be hoped
that the battle of "Tishmingo Greek" ="
or "Bryce's crossroads" as the fedcrals
call it, will not be forgotten, where the
battle was fought and pursuit of sixty
miles made all in thirty hours.
It has been said that Forrest was un-
educated, and this is true; but his ideas,
when properly clothed in correct Ian
guage, were pointed and strong, and he
was exceedingly tenacious that his own
ideas, and not those of the writer, should
be expressed by those who wrote for him.
His strong and touching final address to
his troops though shaped by another,
was his own creation, and he felt all that
the language imported when he said /:
Civil war, such as you have just passed
through, naturally engenders feelings of
animosity, hatred and revenge. 1t is our
duty to divest ourselves all Of such feel
ings, and as far as in our power to do
so, to. cultivate friendly feelings toward
those with whom we have so long con-
tended and heretofore so widely differed.
Neighborhood feuds, personal animosi-
tie, and private differences should be
blotted out, and when you return home
manly, straight forward course of con-
duct will secure the respect of even your
enemies. Whatever your responsible
ties may be to government, to society, or
to individuals, meet them like men. n
have never on the field of battle
sent you where I was unwilling to go
myself, nor would I now advise you to
course which felt myself unwilling to
pursue. You have been good soldiers !;
you can be good citizens. Obey the laws,
preserve your honor, and the government
to which you have surrendered can afford
to be and will be magnanimous." Like
the cause he loved, he is dead. In COM
ing years, when the bitterness of strife
has passed away; when that mystic harp,
whose chords connect the graves of the
dead with the hearts of the living
shall vibrate the music of a re.
stored union, and some blind old bard
shall sing the praises of American heroes,
while eager childen listen to their deeds
of valor, the story of none will awaken
loftier feelings of emulation than
Forrest, the wizard of the saddle.

Can he be guilty? Is he guilty?"
Greatly to his disgust, the foreman of the

Two YEARS IN TEXAs.-Yesterday we
met at the union passenger depot q
young man who was on his return to his
home in South Carolina after spending
two years in Texas, where he had been
engaged herding cattle and getting them
in shipping order for the Eastern mar.
kets. He says he has had enough of
Texas life, and proposes to spend the re-
mainder of his existence in the States.
Speaking about the roughness of the
western part of the Lone Star State, he
remarked that while on trip to that Sec
ton he came in contact with man who
said he had not seen a woman in two
years. He says that he thinks this quite
likely, as he travelled all over the western
part of the State for six months and did
not see but one woman. The entire
population of the country westward of
Fort Worth to the line is composed of
cowboys and stock raisers and herders,
with here and there q small settlement OF
half-breed Indians. Our informant states
that he saw numbers of Georgians in
Texas. Some of them were doing we'll,
while others were only managing to live,
and intend to return as soon as they can
procure etransportation.-Atlanta COnstitu-

WHAT THE BIRDS AccoMpLIsH.-The
swallow, swift and night-hawk are the
guardians of the atmosphere. They
check the increase of insects that other
wise would overload it. Wood-peckers,
creepers and chickadees are the guardi-
ans of the trunks of trees. Marbles and
fly catchers protect the foliage. Black
birds, crows, thrushes and larks protect
the surface of the soil. Snipe and wood
cock protect the soil under the surface.
Each tribe has its respective duties to
perform in the economy of nature; and
it is an undoubted fact that if the birds
were all swept off the face of the earth,
man could not live upon it; vegetation
would wither and die; insects would be-
come so numerous that no living thing
could Withstand their attacks. The
wholesale destruction occasioned by
grasshoppers, which have lately devasta-
ted the west, is undoubtedly caused by the
thinning out of the birds, such as grouse,
prairie hens, ETC., which feed upon them.
The great and inestimable service done
the farmer, gardner and florist by the
birds is only becoming known by sad ex-
perience. Spare the birds and save your
fruit; the little corn and fruit taken by
them is more than compensated by the
quantities of noxious insects they destroy.
The long prosecuted crow has been
found by actual experience to do far
more good by the vast quantities Of grubs
and insects he devours than the little
harm he does in the few grains of corn
he pulls up. He is one of the farmers best
friends,

devotion and love to Christ. They could
but see that the hopes and joys derived
from the truth he preached, animated his
own soul and nerved it with divine
peace which the world could neither give
nor take away. His hearers were con-
vinced that his sole object in preaching
the Gospel was to save their souls, and
they were brought in sympathy with his
preaching from its sincerity, plainness
and spirituality. Although no monu-
ment may mark his final resting place on
earth, and his name, like those of thou
sands of faithful ministers, be effaced
from the living, yet numbers saved in
heaven through his instrumentality will
stand as everlasting monuments of his
zeal and devotion to the Saviour and love
to his fellow men.
