GARFIELD ON LINCOLN.
DlVinely gifted man,
Whose life in low estate began.
And on simple village green,
Who breaks his births lnarduOus bar
And EraSps the skirts Of happy chance,
And breasts the blOws Of circumstance,
And grapples with his evil star.
Who makes by fOr his merit known,
And loves To clutch the golden keys
To mod mighty states deCFees,
And sh pc the whisper Of the throne
And moving up from high TO hIgher,
Becomes on fortunes croWning slope
The pillar OF . Peoples hopa,
The center Of worlds desire.
AT the conclusion of the speech, which
was received in deep silence, the bene-
dictiOn was pronounced by Rev. Platter,
of the Presbyterian Church, after which
the gathering dispersed quietly, with
the memory of the departed Executive
deeply planted in each heart.

WASHINGTON WINS AGAIN.
The POIoists Of baltimore Badly Defentc'
at the Rink.

The polo contest at the Rink last night
attracted large crowd of spectators, among whom
were number of lady visitors from Baltimore.
The surface was cleared at nine o'clock, and q
minute or two later game" was called between
the two teams, composed as follows: Biddle Street
Rink Club of Baitimore-Captain and second
cover, Frank Harrison; goals, Allen Childs and ].
Frank Hiss; cover, W. Norris; field, W. Price;
forward, F. Johnson. and point, A. Harri-
son. Washington-Captain and second cover,
J. F. Mercer; goals, J. Haines and WI. Murphy:
cover, E. Webster; field, John Giddings; forward
George Boyd; and point, A. T. Riddle. EMPIRES,
on the part of the BaltimoreS F. Poor and Harri-
son Bull for Washington, G. Hallen and w.
Moore. Referee, Thomas G. Bryant From the
word play" it was evident that the Washington
team meant business; and inside of three minutes
from the time the ball left the spot Mercer
managed to utilize one Of his famous backhand
strokes, and from the centre of the field
sent the ball spinning through the Baltimores flags
causing the young poloist who tried to keep it out
much surprise and painful shock. The second
inning was better played by the Baitimores, but
the persistent pluck of the WaShingtons again
proved too much for them, and after twenty-o one
minutes of the hardest kind of playing punctuated
by numberless fouls the home club scored
second goal. This appeared to completely de-
moralize the visitors, and through the subsequent
innings, clear up to the moment the game closed
at the tap of the gong, the Washingtons had mat
tiers their own way and easily maintained the
score of to 0 against the Baltimores.

The wright.RroWn Rlackmail Case.

yesterday III the criminal Court JUS
tice Cox gave his decision in the case of Percy
Brown and Paul B. Wright indicted for conspiracy
and sending threatening letter. Mr.. C. Maurice
Smith, counsel for the latter, had pleaded to the
jurisdiction of the court in behalf of Wright, main
tanning that conspiracy was a misdemeanor over
which the statute had given the Police Court
Jurisdiction. To this plea Assistant District At
torney Perry demurred. His Honor was inclined
to the view taken by Mr.. Smith, but cited the
General Term as being against him. and eonse-
quently sustained the demurrer. An appeal was
taken, and the goes to the General Term. Mr..
A. K Browne. who appears for Percy Brown, OBJ
tanned permission to file similar paper in the
interest of his client, which granted and that
will take the same course as the other.

ROBBED IN DEPOT,
Daring Deed OF Qnartette OF Rockies.
GarroterS.

One of the boldest cases of garroting
ever pepetrated in this section of the country oc-
CURED last night the platform of the Baltimore
and Potomac depot while passengers were alight-
ing from the train from New York which reached
here shortly after ten o'clock. Among the paSsen-
gers was Mr.. A. G. Haygood, Of Atlanta, Ca.
who carried a yalise in each hand. He
had reached a point about halfway
up the PLATFORM when he was jostled against by a
party of men, one of whom knocked his right arm
up, while a confederate slipped his hand into Mr..
Haygood's coat pocket and deity extracted a
pocket-book containing upward of $780, Mr..
Haygood was so surprised for a minute that he was
unable to give an alarm, and when he did recover
sufficiently to state his loss the garro;ers had
disappeared in the crowd. Officer Kearney, who
Is on duty at the depot, conducted Mr.. Eaygood
20 Police Headquarters where he stated his case
TO Detective Acton, who at once started out to hunt
for the garroters. Owing to the meagre descrip-
lion given of them, however, it is considered
doubtful if Mr.. Haygood ever sees men or money
again. The robbery was done so quickly that
none Of the other passengers were aware that any
thing unusual was going until it too late to
render any service. According TO Mr.. Haygoods
statement there were four men concerned in the
affair, one of whom was very tall and dressed in
Light clothes. Every hotel and restaurant in the
vicinity of the depot visited by the detectives
last night in search of the perpetrators, but no
traces of them could be found, and 1t is supposed
kkat they were "old professionals"

THE BERNHARDT MANIA.
A Rush for Tickets Yesterday-Specu.
IafOrs Making Investments.

5aitAlhS
Next to the circus which is present,
Sara Bernhardt. who looms up in the near future,
seems to be most on the public mind. The sale of
seats for the two Bernhard performances at the
end of the week ccsaneneed at the National Thea
tire yesterday morning, and the rush was great
that the police had to be called in to regulate the
crowd Though Manager Abbey did not favor
Washington with visit in the early part of the
Bernhardt season. preferring to work fields which
he considered richer, the indications are
that he will have every reason to be well satisfied
with the golden fattery which will be
showered upon the slim stranger here The appli
cants for tickets at the oox-oce yesterday morning
were ranged in line, which SO long that it had
to be bent around. When anybody tried to force
himself into position the box Office without
starting at the end OF the line and waiting his
turn there was general growl of dissatisfaction.
Three or four colored men who got into
the line early made handsome commits
sions by purchasing for impatient people
who arrived late. There was growl among the
ticket buyers also, that though it was understood
that only limited number of seats would be sold
to any one person, the spectators were getting
possession of many of the best seats. These specu
lators used dummies or proxies to buy tickets for
them 1t is thought that before Friday the good
seats can be sold for double and triple the box
Office price Very few desirable seats were left IN
sold last evening.

What \ Gentleman Has to Say Hho Has
Had Some Experience.
To the Etitor Of The Republican:
Foreibly struck with the strong good
sense of the article in your paper of the 18th in
slant respecting the Importance of knowledge of
at least French among the foreign languages as
qualification for consul in Europe, ] was sur
prfsed to read letter signed E. T. j." disputing
your position. Every one must concur in opinion
with the letter that it would be folly In the Pres
dent to appoint foreigners, American snobs," and
gentlemen who have acquired foreign languages
simply as elegant accomplishments to the respon-
sible duty OF representing the United States abroad
and l do not suppose that General Garfield ever
contemplated the committal of such an error. But
surely. III this vast land there must be hundre ds
of gentlemen well verSed in French German and
Spanish, who are at the same time intimately ae-
quainted with the commerce, productions and
manufactures of the United States, and pretty well
up in maritime and International law. To what
end do half the universities and colleges in
America maintain professors OF the foreign Ian
guages If the alumni Of these institutions are not
able to hold intercourse with continental for
eigners in the French language at least? The
young men who graduate at these institutions be-
come lawyers, merchants, farmers &C., and being
among the candidates for consulates and attaches
to ENJOYS ought not to be clasSed with the snObs
and idlers to whom i. T. j." refers. l have
had some experience in university preparations,
and only three years ago was engaged at one
where great number Of young men were receiv-
ing instructions from Professor Schele de We're;
and Of the number-though American in all hon
orable respects-several could speak the language
with tolerable duency. pathological Introduction
to the French tongue is sufficient TO
lead men to read the language, which
is more or less the diplomatic Ian
guage of all Europe. And this they do with ar
dor, for French literature is incomparably rich.
Nothing, then, is wanting but opportunity for the
colloquial application Of their attachments, and
this they would soon find in any port in Italy, Ger
many, France, or Spain Without it they would
often be imposed upon for the language is replete
with ambiguities and double eteaLcs of which evil
disposed persons would avail themselves 20 cheat
the consul or diplomat; whence the suggestion of
all diplomatic paper should be drawn up in Latin.
BY all means let the candidates for consular Offices
be men of probity intelligence, and high national
sentiment, but let them not go forth Ignorant of
French and impressed with the absurd idea
that they could master the language in three
months They could not acquire its idiomatic pc
thinking in French in less than two years
