Yesterday afternoon about two O'Clock,
River street, near the Kstie's wharf, was
the scene Of a very lively occurrence. There
were a number Of days laden with goods
backed I'D at the steamers wharf ready to
be unlosded, when suddenly roll of tin
about twenty FIVE feet long was blown from
the top OF q warehouse, which had
been recently repaired, and fell
in proximity to the teams. The
tremendous noise made when it fell into
the street caused the teams TO start OIL iltO
A run. and for the moment the prospect for
a Bull Run stampede was exceedingly prom
fsing. and the result would inevitably have
been a serious accident. Fortunately the
drivers managed TO control their teams be-
fore any material damage was done.

An Offspring Of the Utter.
THE LATEST Fashion IN GAIT FOR GIRLS
AND WHAT A. DocToR SAYS OF IT.

The fashionable gait Of the utter young
girl at this season is an importation, like
most of her articles of clothing. 1t il sup
posed TO be an offspring Of the utterly utter
manners of the London aesthetics who have
set the fashion for languid. willowy, weary
wabbles, now the rage at many fashionable
gatherings among young women, who in
spirit Of intense unutterableness gaze into the
depths Of new blown lily or rose, or silent
ly stndy the heart Of field daisy. Upon the
avenues. however, the great public see
the aesthetic walk undimmed by the
mellow light of drawing room, and
amelioraied by the rich colors of
Persian portieries and Daghestan rugs. When
the aesthetic appears upon the front doorstep
with her Langtry hat she shakes out the BAN
giles on her bracelets. pushes into better posi-
ton the Jacqueminot roses at her belt or the
field daises in her fourth buttonhole, then
shakes out the puffings of her polonaise, raises
balloon with its ivory handle carved like a
Gala lily, and prepares to get into shape for
the fashionable gate. For the space of a min
ute her body seems to work upon eccentrics.

The Prettiest and Cleanest City.

An Enquirer representative had an interest
ing chat yesterday with a gentleman who
spent the past winter and spring in Washing
ton. Just before returning to Cincinnati. In
reply to a questirn how he liked the Capital
city, he said:
1T is perhaps the prettiest and cleanast
city in the United States. The wide aven;ics
and streets paved with concrete and
granite blocks, and all the roads leading out
into the country are macadamized and
pleasanter drives | do not think are to be-
found anywhere on this side of the Atlantic
have never spent a more delightful spring
in my life, although it was much retarded bv
the unparalleled severity and lateness of the
winter in this section. During the wiater
when we had severe snow storms, it was not
ong before the snow disappeared from the
streets. and in day or two they were as
dirty as if there had not been any water on
them for weeks. On the night before the
inauguration of Garfeld-and | do not re-
member of ever having experienced a more
disagreeable one--a severe snow storm set in
early in the evening, and when went home,
about midnight, the slush was over foot
deep: but by one o'clock the next afternoon
PENNSYLVANIA avenue was almost as dry as a
barn-foor. There was period however,
during the winter that the snow fell every
day, almost continuously, for three or four
weeks, and the weather being cold all the
time, there was good sleighing."
In accounting for the rapid disappearance
of the snow and slush, the gentleman said
that it was owing to the splendid paved streets
and the excellent sewerage system. Out OF
about two hundred and thirty or forty miles
of streets, there are one hundred and forty
miles of them paved. In the principal portion
of the city, say within radius of two miles
of the Capitol and Executive Mansion, the
streets are mostly paved with concrete, which
is very smooth During an ordinary sleet
storm there could not be better skating. II
is the greatest place in the world for roller
skates. Every morning and evening now
the streets are alive with children all over
the city. enjoying themselves on skates.
There are about one hundred and ten miles of
pipe sewer, and forty-fve miles of brick
sewers laid, and this season they are laying
manv miles more.

ing neither masts nor sails, and when in SER
vice but very little of her will be seen above
water except the central portion, on which
will be placed the tunnels, signal towers and
other features necessary to have above
water. Her chief weapons are an enormous
ram, projecting twelve feet from the bow,
and torpedoes, for the use of which she is
specially designed. The torpedoes can be
fired from the bow or from either side of the
ship, the ejeeting ports being some depth
below the water line. The ram is also sub
merged, so as to strike armor-cads well be-
low their iron plating. As the vessels speed
will be not less than Il knots an hour, she
will be very formidable craft for a fleet to
