PALM SUNDAY.
Impressive Services i'm the Churches-The
BEGINNING of Holy Week.

Yesterday was Palm Sunday, a day
famous in the Anglican and Roman Churches, and
which has been preserved in all its sanctity of rite
from the earliest history of Christianity. The day
itself was particularly beautiful after the long
spell Of bad weather that has prevailed, and the
churches were all crowded. The attendance at.
the Episcopal and the Catholic churches was I'M
usually large. At the latter the blessing and dis
trihuting of the holy palm was special feature of
the exercises. This is done in commemoration of
the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem over
the branches of palm which the people, crying
" Hosannaw all the while, spread before him.
The attendance at church was large, for every
other person you met the street after the close
of the ceremonies had sprig of the blessed palm
with him. The entire week is with Episcepalians
and Catholics a week of much religious feryor,
particularly Good Friday, which is the most SOL
emn day of all the world to churchmen. The He
brews also will observe part of the week. for the
Jewish Passover commences on Thursday, the 18th
of April and lasts till April D. the first and last
days being very strictly observed.

ATournament on Roller Skates.

The polo match at the Rink tonight,
between the West End Club, of Baltimore, and the
Washingtons will develop much stronger game
than last week as the West Ends comprise some of
the finest skaters and polo players in the Monu-
mental City. Preparations are going ON at the
Rink for a grand tournament ON rollers, to take
place about two weeks hence, and to be conducted
under the usual rules governing tournaments
on horseback. The rings will be put in
place to-day, and the gallant knights
will commence practicing in dead earnest. The
lists will be laid off around the outer edge of the
asphalt, and the contestants will be required to
take the rings while moving at full speed or
at the rate of mile in about three and half min
utes. The bellies of the northwestern section of
the city are in quite utter over this novel inno-
vation as it is rumored that the successful knights
will crown queen of love and beauty and the
usual quota OF maids of honor, and that the tour
nament will be concluded with grand ball on

THE DASHAWAYS, WORK.
What They Do and How They Did 1t Last
Night.

"n1t 1ney DO anu HOW Incy Dfo H Last
Night.
Quietly, unostentatiously, but efec-
lively a little band of workers in the temperance
cause has been laboring earnestly for the good of
humanity in that for several years past until
it has become power in the city. This band is
the Dashaway Club, whose Sunday night meet
ings are crowded, and whose efforts in behalf of
the drunkard are not confined simply to getting
him to sign the pledge. Its founders, knowing
the life of a handwriting man, and sympathiZ-
ing with his condition after signing the pledge
forced to leave his old associates, but required by
others to give evidence of his reformation before
he can form new associates-deternined to help
the reformed man in this his neediest hour, by
practical sympathy and encouragement. The re-
suit has been a very quiet, but very earnest and
successful, movement on behalf of temperance.
The meetings attract immense crowds nightly,
there are many signers of the pledge and after
signing they are by no means forgotten or over
looked. Last night Odd Fellows Hall, where they
now meet was densely packed, and very en-
thusiastic meeting was held An election of Off
GERS resulted in the choice of II. B. Moulton for
president; r. B. Patterson, vice president; J. B.
Miller, secretary; c. V. Constantine, assistant Sec
rotary, and Rev. C. W. Denison, chaplain. Mr.
Moulton delivered a pleasant address upon taking
the chair Mr. DeniSon presented a resolution
complimentary to the retiring president, Mr.
EgglestoD, which was unanimously adopted Mr..
Patterson then delivered an interesting address,
and was succeeded by Colonel Meacham and
Charlie Nye. 4 number of persons signed the
pledge. The meetings will hereafter take place at
half-n seven o'clock D. m SUNDAYS

Let Him Howl.

To the Editor Of The Republican:
Some of these Southern Democratic
politicians have more cheek than a mule, as an
incident which occurred since the Inauguration
of General Garfield abundantly veri6es. A couple
of weeks ago active politician, who resides in
one of the prominent towns in leading South
western State, and who is postmaster of said town.
and also editor of the Democratic organ published
thereat applied for extension of his commission
for four years. During ex-PreSident Hayes ad-
mnistration the fellow had tried on two or three
occasions to bespatter Mr.. Hayes with fulsome and
sickening adulaton, and, as his official record
passing fair the prospect for his reappointment
was pretty good but just at time when the ques-
ton trembling in the balance in the mind ofAr
James some good Republican, accidentally, of
course) placed in the Postmaster Generals hand a
copy of the fellows paper of date of October
10, iSSO, wherein he charged Mr. Garfield. the then
Republican candidate for President with being
" thief and perjured scoundrel." That settled
the case instanter for Mr.. James not only refused
to appoint him, but would, if his time had not
been out have removed him in a jify and left
him to the cold charity of his Bourbon brethren.
No doubt he will heneeforth be bowling dervish
in the Bourbon ranks Let him howl! Y.

The survivors of New Orleans and
Mobile actions who intend without fail, to appear
in the procession of the 25th instant should send
their names to Commander Howison, navy yard,

TWO GOOD PLAYS.
"Fresh - and "The Money Market'-The
Comiaue and Other Attractions.

This week that prince of good fellows
and excellent actor, John T. Raymond, will be the
attraction at the National Theatre presenting his
new play, called Fresh. the American" In re-
gard to this New York paper says: Raymond
has made of Fresh a very amusing character.
Amusing in that one laughs every time he speaks.
l don't know but We would do that if he didn't
say word, for there is something irresistible
about the droop of his eyelds and the twist of his
mouth that sets people off into roars of laughter
before he has had time to utter word. But what
everhe does he is still John T. Raymond; his per-
sonal characteristics too strongly marked to be
hidden by blonde wig and new suit of clothes
The play abounds in villainous puns; and yet, as
said before, everybody laughs because laughing is
contagious, and we are too glad of an excuse for
laughing"

will be gladly welcomed in book form. The bright
crispiness of the "a Fair Barbarian" her thorough
Americanism, and the shock she gave to the dig
nified old English town into which she dropped
like meteor are all so refreshingly told that the

1t is one which, once commenced, cannot be laid
aside until finished.
