Christmas Entertainment.

Misses Pollock and Nocrr. of the Frnbe Insti
tnte, gave their annual Christmas entertainment
yesterday afternoon in Tallmadge Hall. Notwith
standing the pouring rain, there was quite good
audience. The little ones all did their part 80
well IL would be difficult TO say which deserved
the most praise. The kndergarten class in cos.
tune represented the various trades aud indus.
tries, played by the chldIen daily at their reg
ular plny-time. The children are all taught Ger
man. aud IL is astonishing what correct accent
some have already acquired. A dialogue in Ger
man by BERTHE Ryan and Milton Blumenberg was
very good Great care has evidently been taken
with music, both vocal and instri-
mental for the little fairies sing out
with almost rs much ease as prima donna. Mil
ton and Martha Blumenberg played duct with
taste and correctness which would have done
credit TO much older persons. The crowning fea-
turc of the entertainment was the rainbow, which
was formed oftwolvc children, most Of them little
girls, ranged upon the stnge and wearing the
different cOlors of the rainbow. The whole formed
pretty tabeau, apart from the sentiment, which
was very beautiful and gave additional charm Ia
the representation. Each color was named and
the names were significant Of the cardinal virtues
such ms "Charity," "Gentleness," "Gratitude,' y
Usefulness" and Worth"

"Coloncl Logan McKee, ofKentucky, was one Of

less TO add that he has been in Washington and
called on the President. lie says his object was
not TO get an Office for himself but for nineteen

The first case for violating the new plumbing
regulations tried In the Police Court yesterday.
Robert Burris, cOlored, was charged by Inspector
of Plumbing Samuel A. Robinson with violating
the regulations by putting soil pipe in house No.
1916 Seventh street, and failing to properly vent-
late the pipe and falling to lay II in concrete, and
also with engaging in the business of plumbing,
and failing to be registered and bonded in the
Office of the Inspector of Plumbing. The defendant
stated that he got n permit and did the work ac-
cording to the old rules, and did not know any
thing about regulations. The court remarked that
as this is the first case prosecuted under the new
regulations he thought IL would be advisable to
impose fine of s25 and suspend execution of sem
tence. The court also remarked that as this law
was not printed in any statutes II would be advsa-
BILE for the authorities to give plumbers copies oil

WE do not understand that there is any
complaint among the New York mem
bers because Mr.. Hiscock was made chair
man of the Committee on Appropriations.
New York had united in the support of
that gentleman for the Speakership, and
could not but accept him for the best
place on committees. But we do hear of
considerable disappointment over the
small representation accorded New York
in other important chairmanships. She
furnishes about one-ninth of all the men,
bers Of the House by virtue Of her popu-
lation, and her Representatives undoubt'
edly did expect more than one of the
leading committees, 1t is not like New
Workers to repine, however, and they will
composedly accept the situation and hope
for better luck next time.

II is TO be hoped that Congress will give
early consideration TO the bill introduced
by Senator Ingalls, on the 18th instant to
increase the water supply of the city of
Washington. It is proposed to extend
The main conduit of the Washington Aque-
duct from its present terminus to n point
near Boundary, Tenth street, and New
Jersey avenue, and there to connect it
with the distributing pipes Of the city.
Now the water comes to the reservoir,
and from thence is supplied to the city
by mains, which are insufficient. If the
great conduit, nine feet in diameter, is
brought directly TO the distributing
mains of the city the supply will be
more than sufficient. If it shall ovcntu-
ally be found desirable TO establish an
other reservoir that work can be done
by-and-bye. At present the safe
way is to urge the passage of Mr. In
CALLS bill, for in that the people OF
the city will have relief from the present
miserably inadequate supply. 1t is some
thing incomprehensible that city OF
100000 people should be without water in
its second stories, and many houses often
without any at all, when from a source OF
supply inexhaustible and one hundred
and fifty feet above tide water conduit
nine feet in diameter comes nearly to the
city and stops. The sewer connections
in our houses are poisonous unless the
traps can be kept filed with water. II
our people will give attention to this and
importune Senators and Representatives
to apply the remedy they will be heard
We advocate general system of ex-
hortation. Cry aloud and spare not. 1t
is case where people may be heard for
their much speaking.
