FIFTY YEARS IN SERVICE.
Chief Clerk Marr's Semi-Centenary-HOW
He Entered the Office.

Mr.. James H. MARI the veteran chief
clerk ofthe First Assistant Postmaster General,
tered the Office the 1st of June 1851 and his fifth
eth anniversary was appropriately celebrated yes
terday, when he was the recipient of several testi
monials commemorative of the occasion. When he
arrived at the office he found his desk beauti-
fully decorated with flowers. Eorly in the
day he received a floral testimonial of
esteem and regard from the employees of the First
Assistant Postmaster Generals office. Later in the
day Postmaster General James, General Tyner, and
a numbered other Department officials called upon
Mr. Mari and presented him with an elegant
and costly gold-plsted service set. Mr.. Black
fan, the superintendent of the Foreign Mails
Bureau, in making the presentation, read
a testimonial letter which stated that ain
the history of our civil service it occasionally
happens that subordinate officials serve careers in
the Executive Departments of many years dura-
ton, but it very rarely occurs that officer serves
continuously in the same Department for half a
century. The fact that this day you enter upon
your ftyfirst year of official life in this Depart
ment, having served successfully under twenty
two Postmasters- General, each of whom gave
you his confidence, and trusted implicitly in
your integrity and fidelity, is the subject
of our congratulations The letter is signed
by Thomas L. James, Richard a. Elmer,
James N Tyner, a. D. Hazen, C. +. Mac
donald, Joseph H. Blackfan, J. o. P Burnside, E
J. Dallas David A. Parker, A. A Freeman, Thomas
P. Graham, W. L. Nicholson, r. W. Gurley, H. D.
Lyman, D. Haynes James S. Crawford, W. B.
Thompson, and Charles A. Ray. Mr.. MARI in ac-
cepting the beautiful gift made little speech, ex-
pressing his thanks, and saying:
My friends, when l entered the Post-Ofice De-
partment fifty years ago L did temporary
clerk. al q salary of $500 per annum, with the
pectation of remaining long enough to save little
money with which TO go West. enter on the practice
OF the law, and grow up with the country So little
can we foretell our destiny in youth. Somehow al
most imperceptibly, my hair has grown gray. my
limbs have their youthful yigOr and before had
entirely given up the hope of going West. if to
grow up with, least the country land how it
has grown without mel, find myself receiving the
of all the officers and employees of
the Department upon the fftieth anniversary of my
entry into the postal service.

THE CITY FATHERS,
They heetand Arrange for fheiY Fourth OF
July Celebration

The regular monthly meeting of the
Oldest Inhabitants Association was held at their
rooms in Corcoran Building yesterday afternoon,
DR.. J. P. Blake in the chair, and Nicholas Callan
officiating as secretary. After disposing of the
regular routine business, President Blake an
nounced that since the last meeting three men,
bers of the association had passed away-Law
renee A. Gobright, William H. Campbell, and
Isaac W. Ross. The usual resolutions
were then introduced and adopted, and euIosistic
speeches made by Nicholas Callan and others
The proposed amendment, substituting quarterly
for monthly meetings, to the constitution then
came up and several members of the association
took decided stand in opposition to the change
claiming that to meet only once in three months
would be very preudica TO the best interests of the
association. The proposed amendment was finally
withdrawn and motion adopted to change the
hour of meeting from half-past three to half-past
four o'clock. Upon motion of Mr.. Massey it was
then decided to appoint a committee of three to
prepare suitable programme for the celebration
of the 4th of July, and the chair named Messrs.
Bruff, Wineberger and Massey as this committee.
Considerable discussion followed in regard
to the matter of an orator and a
reader and other details connected with the
celebration of the glorious Fourth it being
finally decided to allow the whole matter to be
controlled and managed by the committee, the
association to be informed of their action by due
notice in the newspapers. The association then
adjourned, TO meet July next

The Relocated RiHenlen OF, the Water
a Gay Time ut MARSHALL Hall.

One of the pleasantest and most select
parties of the season visited Marshall Hall last
evening, on the occasion of the excursion of the
National Rifles. The prospects of shower did not
dampen the ardor Of at least four hundred pleas
ure- seekers and, although the rain came down
brskly for few minutes before the beat left the
| wharf, all prospects of storm disappeared when
it had gone few hundred yards out in the stream.
After pleasant sail of an hour and half the Hall
was reached and the party disenbarked. Of
course the majority preferred the pavilion
to a stroll on the wet grass, but
number of couples were not to be deferred by
such trifle, and sought shady places for quiet
talk. The number of handsome girls in attend
| ance was frequently commented upon by strangers
present and in every respect the party all that
could be desired. Among the throng present were
