bears upon one of the great and vital
departments of the Government, and IS
useful for reference. After abiding to
the general condition Of the depart
ment az above the President true 10
his position and his oath OF office,
says:-'The investigation Of the De-
partment OF JusticeRud the Post-Cfice

sion to the Presidency were called to

ting. With the utmost vigor Of the law,

tone, punishment must be melted out to

termination the President will be us

The Equestrian Question.
he Editor Of 7ne Epen,no Critic:

/ see some correspondent asking through
your columns for the reason "why the young
men OF our city ride horseback In such clumsy,
ungraceful and bobbing manner" wish, for
miserable and mistaken habit In our
beautiful city. Now that the Potomac
fiats are TO be reclaimed let us
us abate the other nuisancos. IN tho nrst
ing that truo Workmanship In part, consists
in sitting the horse as though part OF the
noble stecd, not stinly, but to sway gracefully
with the animal and not to bob up and down
as though arliicted with q boil In the proverb-
ial wrong place. This awkward, BOBBY, bob.
bling fashion was imported here from Old
Mother England.
England and her loyal sons can do we'll, but
horseback riding is not one OF them, and es-
pecially stride. When the Diplomatic Corps
and It's attaches were bobbing through our
streets, some OF our would-bc young bloods
mistook their awkwardness for style, genuine
aristocralic, imported tone, and, true To- their
apish instincts, went "bobbing round and
round" making asses out OF themselves, and
the horse truly seemed the nobler beast. You
would think these bobollnks were working
their passage, acting as q Kind OF sucker or
plunger pumping the horse forward. Turn
the light Of reason and common.sense on this
apish, ungraceful practice and let II bob out
OF sight forever.
OTTER cities have their polo and tally -ho
clubs. Why can We not have an equestrian
club, composed OF male and female members,
as well? Certainly there Is more health and
happiness to the square acre In such paStime
than any know OF, especially II the riding Is
done In such graceful manner as to give
healthy action TO the whole system, that can
be enjoyed by horse, rider and beholder as
well.
gentlemen who desire TO ride gracefully and
we'll for pleasure, profit or health, shall leave
their names and address at your offlce that
club may be formed as above. ,.

LAME as was Brewster's effort in the
Star-Route case, he showed eminent dis
cretion in not saying a word in defense of
John Ananias Walsh. That was too much,
even for Philadelphia lawyer Perhaps,
however, Brewster was so absorbed in his
contemplation of the carly criminal career
of John w. Dorsey as a timer, that he could
not bring his powerful mind to bear upon the
perjury Of the prosecution.
