THE pressure upon our columns by ad-

PEELED, in justice to our readers, to issue
a supplement this morning in order to
give the current news of the day. THE
REPUBLICAN is probably read more than
any other paper published in Washing
ton, and its rapid increase in circulation
is unprecedented Therefore it is the
best advertising medium through which
to attract the attention of the live, lib
eral, and progressive element flocking
to the Capitol during the first
Congress under President Arthur's adj
ministration. THE REPUBLICAN will be
issued tomorrow in handsome double
sheet of flfty-sx columns. Holiday ad-
vertisers will consult their own interests
by availing themselves of the columns OF
this paper in which to present their
wares and wants to the Washington

THE oHRrsTrANcY CASE.
Mrs. ChrIaiIancy Acting ns n Detective In
Her Own Case.


A telegram to the New York Herald
from Hartford Conn, says: "An interesting affair
in connection with the Christiancy divorue suit
has just come to light here. It has been known
that one of the important witnesses in behalf of
Mrs. Chrlstianoy was George T.. Haight In Sep
tembcr last the fact was published that an ex-
tended deposition by Haght was taken here by a
local attorney under commission from the court
Of the District of Columbia. The deposition was
taken with closed doors. II appears that Haight
was passenger on the same steamer with Mrs.
Christianoy when she FIRST went to Peru, and that
after reaching Lima he called at Minister Chris
tiancys official residence and there became
oognizant of the troubles existing between Mr..
Chrlstiancy and his wife. The reason OF the very
great secrecy observed while the deposition was
being taken is now for the first time fully re-
vealed Mrs. Chrisliaucy II is alleged, was in
Hartford duringa part oft If not the entire period,
and in frequent consultations with Mr. Haight,
Mrs. Christiancy arrived here on the 22d of Sep
tember and proceeded to the City Hotel registered,
IL Is claimed as Mrs. Lugenbeel, Washington, ID.
e. using her maiden name IN part and vas as
to conceal her plans from the other side. When
the person Immediately interested discovered how
| the lady had registered and that a guest of the
| house had noticed the name, directions wercgiyen,
at least IL Isl alleged that II be erased. This IL
| is said, was promptly done and thereafter the
rooms appeared as occupied by 'Mr, William N.
| Roberts, This name appears in the book as newly
written over an erasure, excepting the word Mr., :
| which was formed by erasing the letter 49, from
Mrs The matter was at first confined to two or
three guests and the clerk, and secrecy was en-
joined, especially as II had been admitted that the
| lady was Mrs. Christiancy This secrecy was so
well observed that until this time It has been i'm
practicable to secure sufficient facts upon which "a
hase connected story. The presence OF Mrs

Colonel Irish Completely Eaonera,ed.

The following note from Messrs. Lans'
burgh & Brothers completely exonerates Colonel
Irish from the charge made. No one who know
the Colonel for n moment believed that there was
the slightest foundation for any such accusation,
for in his administration of the Bureau he has
been scrupulously careful in every detail in refer
ence to its expenditures; and 1t has been only by
the exercise of that care that the Bureau has been
able to perform the large demands made upon II
without calling for n deficiency:
"'ro the Editor oerHE REPUBLICAN,:
"An article in the Sunday Gazette of the dth in
stant states that Colonel Irish bought from n
Seventh street merchant quantity of black mus
lin to drape the Bureau Of Engraving and Print
ing ut the time OF the death of President Garfield
and endeavored to have the bill adjusted to re-
lievc himself from payment for fifty yards for his
personal use. The allegation Is wholly untrue, 10
we furnished the muslin on the occasion and as
sert that Colonel lrsh's connection with the mat
ter was lust opposite to what the Gazette article
would make It appear. What he did was TO return
our bill against the Bureau to have deducted from
1t the value of one piece of muslin ordered for his
own use that we had charged to the Bureau and
pay for it himself which he. did promptly and
without question. Simply this and nothing more.
Yours respectfully, LANSBUR & BRO"

In the case of p. Lorillard and Charles
Seidler VS.. Michael ]. Dohan, Thomas Carroll, and
Alexander Forman, argued in the United States
Circuit Court for the Southern District of New
York, which was n suit for an infringement Of the
patent of tho well-known "tin-tag" plug to-
bacco, involving the question of the validity
of the patent of Seidler, which was assigned
to Lorillard. Judge Hovt II. Wheeler delv-
cred an elaborate opinion, fully sustaining
the validity of Soldiers patent, showing the in
frngcment by the defendants and awarding dam
ages and costs to the plaintiffs. He also granted
q perpetual injunction against the manufacture or
use by the defendants of any device initiating
the patent referred to- This action perfectly sus.
tains the validity of the ntag patent, over which
so much litigation has taken place, and the yexed
question us to ownership is practically settled. The
decision is one in which all tobacco dealers are
especially interested.

The Rest Newspaper Men.

A great newspaper is to some extent
like man of-war-it is always open for recruits
but 1t does not enlist jack the-dust and make
an officer of him. The best newspaper men of the
day are those who have worked their way up from
the compositors stand or the reporters desk, and
who, in addition to the practical knowledge thus
obtained, possess that indispensable but indefn-
able mental quality known sometimes ms the
" journalistic instinct" and sometimes as q nose
for news" Without the practical experience u
good Journalist may be developed; but without
the journalistic instinct or the nose for news one
will never succeed in making himself valuable
in a newspapers editorial rOOms-Grdphic.

Chicago Fables.

A young man whose father was very
wealthy, and who moved among the First Fam
lilies, was married to beautiful girl. After the
Nupitial Ceremony was concluded, and just be-
fore the Happy Pair were about to start on their
wedding journey, the bridegroom went up to his
mother-in- law and kissed her Friend who
was standing by, and was amazed at this Extra
ordinary Action, asked the bridegroom for an ex-
PLANTATION of his Conduct, He replied: Have
you never read those beautiful lines by Tennyson
1.-THE bitter ere the sweet,
The thorns before the rose.
Ere springtme comes with bamy breeze
The blast of winter blows"
The Friend said he had not noticed them, but
he saw the application.

married he Is not necessarily wholly bereft of

The Hard Life OF N MiIIIonaire.

Speaking ofJay Gould, the i" Hermit' OF
the Troy Times says: "Goud leads hardlif He
labors with close application, and is driven by the
pressure of his engagements until he may be con-
sidered mere bondman. He has no leisure, no So
ciety no reading, no recreation, but is simply un.
der the whip and spur of necessity. To this has
been added the consciousness of impending dan
ger. He has had body guard of detectives to
spends most of his time in his office, being us Sc
cluded as possible. This sense of danger Is GER
tainly very natural. The fact that Major Selovcr
pitched him down stairs into the barber shop
shows that personal violence may be repeated
and this gave deeper power to these threatening
letters hardly think such q man is TO be envied,
Notwithstanding his immense wealth."
