Vilion-Who We're Present.

Tho flrst excursion Of the Washington Light In
fantry Corps for the season left Seventh street
wharf last evening for Marshall Hall, and owing
to the number Of friends of the organization who
presented themselves, 1t was found necessary,
after loading full 500 aboard the steamer Cor.
coran, to charter the steamer Mary WASH
ington upon which some 300 more of tho guests
of the corps enjoyed a charming sail to the point
Of destination. On both boats the down trip was
enlvened by music and dancing, and that gen.
eral good time which always characterizcs the eff
forts of the w. L. l. to entertain their friends.
AT MARSHALL HALL
there was every preparation made for an even
ing's pleasure that the thoughtful foresight OF
Captains Breitbarth, Ross, Miller, and Dalton, and
Lieutenants Cowie, Thomas, and Goddnrd could
provide for. To the witching strains of Schroe-
der's orchestra programme of q dozen numbers
was danced, with that hearty enjoyment which
cropped out spontaneously under the ALE admin
istrnti III of the committee OF arrangements. At
the upper end of the grounds George scott and
John Eilinger kept u joyial crowd in paroxysms
aud othels also contributed to the interest of this
part cular end of tue excursion. The event of the
night, however, was the marvellous effect
PRODUCED UPoN JOHNNIE ELLINGER
by the crowd and the excitement. The friends of
tnis unfortunate gentleman have forseveTal weeks
teen deeply pained at the faLt that since the
close OF the theatrical season he has suffered f ON
nn impeuiment i'll his speech that rendered it diff
fcult for them TO understand word he said.
Last night he recovered his full powers, and the
tnree unhappy WrGtCnoS VINO sat II. Nt To Linn were
talked inlo comatosc state that renders recovery
doubtful. After spending a most en-

trip there was a repetition of the gay programme
tina. characterized tht voyage down; and whe /
the steamers reached thar wnarvos ut the a,On-
able hour of midnight the guests of the corps
