The Reply of the Dozen


Your correspondent, M" in Fridays
issue of THE REPUBLICAN, complains of a rowdy
element on the excursion given by the Depart
mental Dozen" on Decoration Day, and reflects
rather seriously upon the management for not
distinguishing between gentlemen and rowdies in
the sale of tickets. In justice to the Dozen we
ask space in your journal for brief explanation.
Failing to obtain absolute control of the Ex-
celsior for Decoration Day, the managers made
the next best arrangements possible for the COM
fort of their patrons which was the use of the Ex
celsior on her regular trips, with an agreement
between the steamboat company and the man
ayers ofthe excursion that the latter should have
exclusive right TO sell tickets to the place of dis
embarkment of the excursion and return, the
company reserving their right to sell tickets for
their regular passage to Quantico and return, and
ticipation; but the result was the company sold
tickets for the round trip to Quantico at fifty
cents without discrimination to persons, and then
allowed the majority of those passengers TO land
at Marshall Hall, in violation of all agreements
and understandings and greatly to the discomfort
OF the excursionists who purchased their tickets
from the excursion committee. The statement
that the Excelsior carried upward of fifteen hun
dred persons on her last trip we believe is some
what exaggerated. The total number of tickets
sold by the committee Is 1899 for both trips About
two hundred persons returned to the city by the
first return trip and about three hundred returned
by the steamer George Leary on her return trip in
the evening, leaving about eight hundred of our
party to return by the last trip. The number in
excess of the eight hundred would represent The
number of tickets sold by the steamboat company
to irresponsible persons for the round trip TO Guam
tico, who were allowed to land at Marshall Hall,
and to whom is attributable the rowdy element
above referred to- THE COMMITTEE.

The BoucIcauIt Divorce Case.

1nthe suit brought by Agnes Robertson
Boucicault for divorce from her husband, Dion
Boucicault, motion for an allowance for alimony
and counsel fee came up for a hearing before
Judge Donohue in Supreme Court, Chambers, in
New York Thursday The counsel for Mr. Bouci-
cault asked for an adjournment, saying that the
voluminous papers in the case, which Mr.. Bouci-
cault received on May s, made it necessary for
him, in order to prepare answering papers, to go
through q number of accounts running back
through many years. Mr.. Bouccalt had arranged
to start for England on May 10. and, not having
had time to attend ito the matter before starting,
took the papers with him, as to arrange his ma
terials while upon the voyage; and his counsel
had instructed him TO prepare his affidavit on
landing and send it here with the papers. Mr..
Boucicalt arrived on the other side on May 1S and
there had not been time for the preparation of the
affidavit and its reception here Mr.. George Bliss,
counse! for Mrs Boucicault, said that the defend
ant had had time 10 prepare other afidavits in an
other case involving title to property in Mrs.
Boucicaults possession, which he claimed and
that those afiGayits had already been received
here; and he thought the affidavit in this case
ought to be forthcoming as well Judge Donohue
finally postponed the hearing until next Tuesday.

Mischief the Air.

We cannot analyze the aerial poisons that pro-
duce epidemic and endemic diseases; but the
valuable discoveries which have been made in
vegetable pharmacy enable US to counteract their
malifc influence. The most powerful known an
udote to every species of malaria is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, pure botanical medicine, in
which the finest antiseptics, tonics. alternatives,
and stimulants of the vegetable kingdom are
skillfully and effectively combined. At seasons of
the year when the atmosphere is surcharged with
miasma, and whenever the specific virus of any
infectious disease is supposed to be present in the
air, this famous corrective should be taken reg
ularly as protective. All who choose to observe
this preeaution may bid defiance to intermittent
and remittent feyers and in fact to all disorders
generated by foul exhalations or impure water
