The National Rifles.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Rifles was held last night Several appli-
cants for active membership were elected.
Hon. Thomas p. Morgan and William II.
Bailey were, on application, elected honor
airy members of the company. The COM
pany unanimously decided not to visit
Yorktown in October, for the reason that
they have not been able to obtain suitable
accommodations. They have rendered their
services to the Yorktown Committee for
escort duty, and will assist in the entertain,
ment of military organizations visiting
Washington. The company have, decided
to give grand complimentary excursion to
their honorary members on the evening of
September ~ %. They have engaged the
steamer Excelsior, the Marine band and
many of our best local musical talent, and
propose making the excursion the grandest
given this season. 40 rao riont itras

ESTABLISHED AUGUST. Is0s.
THE FIRST OYSTER ROAST.
Lower Cedar Point the Place and
Sunday the Time.

The proprietors of Lower Cedar Point are
making extensive arrangements for the
oyster roast to be given there tomorrow
Already 500 bushels have been provided,
and yet the quantity is not deemed sufli-
cient to meet the demand that will be made
for bivalves, and further catch has been
ordered. The season having just opened
and the intermission been long since the
lovers of oysters have had q chance to
satiate their appetites, it is reasonable to
suppose that the consumption on this
occasion will be large, and it can, therefore,
easily be seen why such heavy call is
made upon the oyster beds. The roast is
not the only attraction offered to excur-
sionists The beautiful ride on the Potomac,
the fine fishing and bathing at the point
lend additional attraction to the trip
While other steamers will go to this point,
the John w. Thompson is likely to make
the trip quickest, and leaving her wharf at
8 o'clock in the morning, will arrive first
on the scene

A Brokers' Romance.

1t is very touching incident. We
heard Southern editor telling it on an
elevated train yesterday and he was in a
great hurry to get home and put it in
his paper and make an affidavit that it
was true. The scene of the romance
opens in palatial mansion in New
York. A lady sits in parlor filed with
the most costly luxuries. Diamonds as
big as filberts glitter in her ears. Lace
costing $36 per yard almost hides the
color Of her dress from sight. a clock
costing $l6, 900 strikes the hour-4 P. M.
At this moment her husband rushes into
the house, pale, haggard, suspenders
broken, hat bunged up, and his boots
all mud.
Have you-have you caught the
epizooticP" she gasps, as she starts
up.
"Oh, wife! we are busted-ruined-
gone up-smashed fat as sLingler' he
moaned in reply.
"How."

River railroad at SO, and it has declined

solidated It'll We must leave this palace
and all these luxuries and works of art
and take two fourth-story rooms over

She laughed merrily and long. Had
the sudden news crszed herP He Thought

rooml for a moment and then returned
with pillowcase containg 5000, 600 in
greenbacks.

tied the money at his feet. You have
given me this money during the
past five years, few thousand dollars
at time, to buy little articles for toilet.

stockings for Sunday, but / cheerfully
hand it over to my good husband to set
him on his pins again. Take it, my dar-
ling, and if you can get a whack at Jay

with the $50, 900 had laid away to send
to the heathen."
They embraced. All was JOY and

Sudden Checking Of PersDIration.

A Boston merchant, in 'slending q
hand on board one of his ships on a
windy day, found himself at the end of
an hour and half pretty well exhausted
and perspiring freely. He sat down to
rest, and engaging in conversation, time
passed faster than he was aware of. In
attempting to rise he found he was
unable to do so without assist
ance. He was taken home and put
to bed, where he remained two
years; and for a long time after
ward could only hobble about with the
aid of a crutch. Less exposures than
this have in constitutions not SO vigor-
GUS resulted in Inflammation Of the
lungs-pneumonia-ending in death in

rheumatisms, to be source of torture
for lifetime. Multitudes of lives would
De saved every year, and an incalculable
amount of human suffering would be
prevented, If parents would begin to
explain to their children, at the age OF
three or four years, the danger which
attends cooling off too quickly after ex-
ercise, and the importance of not stand
ing still after exercise, or work, or play,
or Of remaining exposed to the wind. or
of sitting at an open window or door, or
of pulling off any garments, even the
hat or bonnet, while in heat.

Pet Names.

Bishop Elder, of Cincinnati, has been
giving parents some advice, which is an
improvement upon some previous sug.
gestions and worthy of general attention.
He advises parents to give their children
full Christian names, and not abbrevia-
tions or pet names. II they please to
make use of these familiarly in the
family, it is well enough. But when
young girl is growing up it is not well
to allow every young man that speaks
to her to use a pet name as if he were
as intimate as her brother. Although
this is only little matter in itself, it
contributes its share toward lessening
the maidenly reserve which is so beau
tiful and 30 serviceaole an ornament. 1t
likewise detracts from the Christian
dignity Of womanhood for one to be all
her life addressed as if she were a pet
child, instead of al lady owning q
Christian name and entitled to the
respect Of having / used.

FOR THE FAIR SEX.

Miss Lollipop thought she must help
To wash up the dishes and wipe of the shelf.
To brush of the table, and sweep up the floor
And clean of the stains from the paint on the
floor.
She put on her apron and pulled up her
sleeves
She didn't want work that was only make

" For muzzers who've dot yittle chillens, :
said she.
" Must have yittle honsekeepers; dat's what

Little Miss Lollipop went through the room,
Whisked the dust high with the edge of the
broom,
Broke the poor cup which she dropped on the
floor,
Left the paint twenty times worse than before.
Spattered and splashed- but oh how could |
chide
The little heart swelling with sweet helpful

=" For how would my muzzer be able," said
she.

Dearer the love in the sunny blue eyes,

A singular story comes from Indian
apolis of a clerk in a leading business
house in that city who became so in
volved that he needed $500 to extricate
himself from the difficulties. By some
means he discovered that table-girl at
one of the hotels had, by hard work.
saved up considerable sum OF money
and to her he applied for a loan. This
was readily granted, and a note with in
terest and day of payment. only six
months in the future, was executed in
acknowledgment of the same. The time
came and with it the same chronic in
ability on the part of the maker to
pay it. He pleaded for an extension
OF time, but this the waiter maiden
refused to grant. and informed him
that he must either pay the sum
at once or marry her. The woman
was about forty years old, and much
more than correspondence ugly, so that
the debtor demurred against the imposi-
tion of such hard terms. The woman,
however, was non-relenting. With her
it was either the money or husband,
and, on the whole, she seemed quite
anxious TO choose the latter. When the
hero saw the gravity of the situation
ne perceived no way to escape it, and
finally capitulated, so the marriage was
performed. The man belongs to good
family, and is said to be greatly humii-
ated by the condition in which he SO
unwillingiy finds himself in being allied
by force to woman SO inferior to HIM
self in social position and intellect. The
woman, however. was so well pleased
that she rented and furnished q house
and was ready for business before the
wedding day
