ChOrus-Inflammatus.

On Wednesday afternoon, near o'clock
Daniel Kimball, stage driver from West Mt.
Vernon TO North Vienna, took his team to
meet the mail carrier on the lower end of the
route, at West Mt. Vernon bridge, which is
up for repairs. He drove near one side rap
idly, and turned quick under the guy rope to
the derrick. A large iron hook on rope,
unobserved, just high enough to catch him
in the right side of his throat, cut his throat
almost from ear to ear-naking a wound
deep at base Of tongue, and dragging him
from the wagon. His injuries are very dan
gerous.

future of the party that he had gone to
the President and protested against it.
The President listened calmly and cour-
teeusly, but did net Indicate in any way
his intention or reply to the question.
The senator said Conkling would be
confirmed unanimously. There would
be no objections to him on the score Of
ability or integrity, but the appointment
would nevertheless wreck the admins

that Conkling, while not absolutely de-
Ginning, advised tie President that it
would be far better for him to appoint
some one else. Conkling expressed a
NEST earnest desire for the success of the

would Dot do, but TO make anything
which appeared like mistake must be
avoided. The President was at last CEN

WE HAVE NOTICED two or three times
recently in certain newspaper of this city
some extraordinary statements of circula-
tion. We do not now propose to discuss
this question further than to say that the
paper making them is far more enterprising
in making figures than in printing the
news, and the figures, like many of its pre-.
tended news items, are, in vulgar parlance
way OIL" But, as we said we do not pro.
pose to discuss this question at this time.
THE CRITIC is now in the sixth month of
its existence under our management. Of
the character we have given it as family
newspaper 1t is not our purpose to speak.
That goes as the French say, without say
ing. But VIC feel called upon to thank the
public Of Washington and vcinage for the
generous response Of patronage that has
been made to our efforts.
When we set out to make first. class
evening newspaper of The CRITIC, we had
mechanical facilities sufficient to meet the
average circulation of Washington newspa-
pers' The time in which an evening paper
can be printed Is at most seasons of the wear
limited to one hour. But we soon saw that
our two presses could not meet the demand.
Long before the city began to fiji up with
its annual influx of transient population.
the demands of our route agents and news
boys began TO crowd our presswork away
beyond the time allotted, and we have
actually a larger circulation than we can
print.
