from the Row" who were evidently
exhausted by astronomical observations
through Billy Burdine's big telescope. These two
scribcs talked over the events of the day in that
subdued tone usually adopted by the watchers at
a wake, and restored their mental and muscular
equilibrium by doing the trapeze act couple of
toothpicks. Strolling sadly over the scene of desc
lation, THE REPUBLICANS representative found a
quondam employee and discovered that Ned Harris
had expressed mis- big diamond pin to Saratoga, and

A Rest for fl,e Razors.

The Knights OF the razors had picnic
yesterday at Giesboro, and they turned out in full
force with their wives and sweethcayts. All
took their razors, but according to tie
rules observed on such occasions these
implements of their art were shcathed
in their boot-legs. 1t was not found necessary TO
shave anybody during the day, and so the razors
had a rest. An ambulance boat laid OIL the
point i'll case it should be needed, as past expe-
rience had shown that the picnickcrs were some
times TOO tired to sit up on the trip homo.

lector Of customs at Georgetown; Mr.. Dixon of

removing ofEal from the District, went down to
Broad Creek, the dumping depot, yesterday after
noon. Objection had been made by residents of
the vicinity to the nuisance created at this

Of ascertaining their views and wishes. 1t was
learned that the objection was made by but one

land had not been rented for the depot. An offer
ofa desirable place at Piscataway Creek, three
miles further down the river, was made, and if
necessary the depot will be moved there. Con-
tractor Draney states that objection has been made
10 the erection Of poudretting machinery at Broad
