A Thrilling Rencontre.

Under the above head Tuesdays
EreniRg Critic has the following spicy item Among
the more important news telegraphed TO the press
on Sunday night was the startling statement that
the beautiful, balmy Sabbath afternoon was taken
advantage of by many weary journalists and states
men to recuperate their wasted energies in drive
TO the beautiful suburbs of Washington At the
main entrance tc the Soldiers Home, which is the
favorite resort rather an interesting episode Oc
cured. There was at the time somewhat of a rush
of vehicles at the gate and they had to wait their
time to get in. Three carriages got little mixed
up, and the occupants had full oppor-
tunity to gaze into each others counte-
nances and exchange the congratulations
of the season if so disposed. In one of these
ria ges the prominent figure President Gar
field, in another Secretary Blaine, and in the other
ex-Assistant Postmaster General Brady, Mr.. Cor
ham, the distinguished editor of THE REPUBLICAN,
and Mr. Buell., the able and brilliant editor of the
Capital 1t has since been rumored that Room
So had held a consultation to see whether there
was any provision in the Revised Statutes, the
common law, the code of Maryland as adopted for
the District in 1901 the acts of the late Feather
duster legislature or the ordinances of the ex-
tinct common council of Washington city, making
the boye-deScribed offense indictable. None but
newspapers belonging to the syndicate need apply
or particulars"

entirely. Every bulletin from. the De-
partment contains more than one exam
pie of this remorseless slashing of the
postal service.
From the foundation of the Govern
ment an opposite policy has been pur-
sued. The very extent of our territory
forbids the idea of self-sustaining postal
service; and the great statesmen of all
parties have always recognized this fact
and legislated accordingly, and the people
have invariably sustained them in so
doing. A deficit in our postal account
never had any terrors for such men as
Clay, Clayton, Webster, Cass, Calhoun,
Wright, or Woodbury.; and Mr.. James
will find that the policy pursued by these
giants in craftsmanship is the true policy;
that the people will not sustain him
in depriving communities of frequent
mails merely because the route by
which they received them does not
pay its own expenses; that his
twopenny policy will receive thesame re-
ward at the hands of the people that the
picayune policy of the Forty-fourth Con-
gress did, and that he will be over
whelmed by storm of popular indigna-
ton that will destroy him and all his
future prospects as a public man.
The people of this Union will never
sanction the idea that dollars are worth
more than intelligence or rapid, frequent,
and easy intercommunication.
THE public would like to be told how it
is that anybody knows what the finding
of the court-martial is in the case of
Cadet Whitaker. The members of the
court were all bound to secrecy. If the
published statements are true that the
court decided that Whitaker bit off his
own ears, what member of the court dis
honored himself by giving the informa-
ton? If any one has so offended, will he
be court-martialed?

PERSONALITIES.

HARRISON DINGMAN, of this city, was at
the St. James Hotel, New York, yesterday.
| THERE are more three-year-olds in the
Blue Grass pastures of Kentucky. Foreign horse
| fanciers will take notice.
| THE venerable Prince Gortschakoff is
at Baden Baden, where he is a lion in society. He
is very fond of social gayeties.~
THEsons of William Lloyd Garrison are
! preparing his biography and correspondence for
publication in five or six volumes.
GENERAL SCHoFIELD is being savagely
attacked by army men for taking from Thomas

THERE is only one man in the country
who has such a savOry legislative record as ses-

WILLIAM SPRAGUE, of Rhode Island,
has spent fortune of s12 100000, left him by his
father during the past twenty years. As he didn't
start daily paper to fill long felt want it is

Nails Driven by Machinery.

Nails are now being driven by ma
chinery in many box factories. They are fed by
hand into belI-shaped holes which are arranged
i'll radical lines in revolving disc, each line hav
ing as many holes as there are nails wanted along
the side of box. The disc revolves, and delivers
the nails into bent tubes, each nail to separate
tube, whence the nail is delivered to pair of nip
pers arranged in a row with others The nippers
then convey the nail under a stationary hammer,
when the box is raised upon a sliding platform
till the nails pushed into it to certain point
at which the nippers relax their hold and recede,
and the box continues to rise till the nails having
their heads pressed constantly by the stationary
hammer, are fully driven in.
