District Government Affairs.
A MEASUREMENT CORRECTED.

The published statement that the District
Commissioners have sent communication to
the Speaker of the House asking an appropria-
ton of $1,000 for ST. AIMS Infant Asylum is
erroneous. The letter in question was a private
note from one OF the Commissioners to Speaker
Randall merely giving his views as to The
management OF that charitable institution, its
claims upon the public &c. The Commissioners
have refused in all cases to recommend appro-
priations, except for District reformatory or
charitable institutions which they are bound by
law to support, as by doing so In one case they
would feel bound to do it in other cases. There
which Congress has been in the habit of making
appropriations for annually which is done with
out any action or recommendation on the part
Of the Commissioners

The Suffering Children in Ireland.
The following letter from Sister Of Charity
In County Mayo, Ireland, to Mr.. J. j. Flanagan,
of this city, seems to show how terribly the pre-
vafling famine in ireland affects the poor child
rem there:
THE SISTERS OF CHARITY,
BALLAGHADERIN, CO. MAYO,
M Dear Si,.:-Accept my most heart felt
thanks for your very generous donation OF e2
for our poor little children. These times are
indeed most heart .rending for us. Though the
grown-up people are suffering terribly, and
many of them depend on us for food. still the
children are our special care, and it would go to
your very heart to see the white and starved
little ones, who few months ago were rosy,
plump and full of life. 1t will be strange indeed
II disease and il-health, arising from starvation
and cold, do not undermine their young constf-
tutions in so tender an age. We have children
from years old I'LL IS. We have lust begun to
give them their breakfast, and the numbers are
daily increasing. Hungry looking mothers are
now giving up all hope OF hiding their poverty
ana the tattered and half-naked condition OF
their children and mplOre OF us to feed them
Gas In all probability what we give them is the
clothe them, warm them and give them their
school books, till the crops come in next year.
The poor little ones only happiness is with us
as there is no fire at home to warm them and
they cry at night with cold, as the blankets are
lorg since in the pawn Office for food. Though
these monster collections are very large, still
the distress is greater and 416d was the amount
coming to each distressed family out of f10O
which was sent to district near this. Convent
schools, however, get nothing at all out Of the
funds. win you please thank the generous
friends who helped you, and tell them that
through their means many a hungry little
mouth will be fed and many a shlvering little
form warmed. The children pray every day
that God will repay 100 times as much to the
benefactors who saved their young lives.
Again thanking you, dear sir, l remain yours,
very faithfully in j. c.,

SUNDAY VISITORS FROM WASHINGTON IN ALEX
ANDRIA.-The Alexandria Gazette of last evening
says: Large numbers Of WaShingtOnianS visit
Alexandria every Sunday. A majority of them
are people Of responsibility and are recognized
as such. But many, like Secretary SchurZ, con-
meet Alexandria, Va, with Alexandria In Egypt,
and conduct themselves according to the GUS
toms Of that benighted country. A few weeks
ago couple OF rOughS came to this city from
Washington to have little fun, as they eX-
pressed 1t. They were accommodated, and re-
turned to their homes sadder If not wiser men.
Then man and woman, both drunk, came
down In buggy and made a most disgraceful
spectacle of themselves. But the sight pre-
sented yesterday on the streets was OF an en-
tirely different character from either Of the
above. 1t was little, weazen-faced negro,
as black as the ace Of spades, about thirty
five years OF age, locked arms with tall,
fine looking, well dressed white woman. The
man, who VAS dressed In the tip of the fashion
was intoxicated just enough to make fool of
himself. His name WAS Stalk. and there they
Stalked up and down the streets, the observed
OF all observers. They came from Washington,
but how they came and what they came for no
one could tell, without it was for the purpose Of
showing the people Of Alexandra what kind Of
weeds flourish In the flower garden Of the
where the dogs won't bark at them" In this
section Of the country, and one can well I'M
agine the attention they attracted. The loving
couple soon disappeared, however, and those
who witnessed the sight only wondered how on
earth good looking white woman could at.
in stature than herself. Women as a general
thing admire hne looking men, but this case
was an exception to the general rule
