Dangerous Sport.


Is there no relief from the dangerous practice
among boys of firing stones, presumably at
birds, but unfortunately against whoever or
whatever happens to be within range? Pea
shooters being forbidden, rubber band and a
string are called into requsition. The boys on
C street, between Sd and AZ streets, particu-
larly need some admonition. While passing
along the south side of that square one day this
week was struck on the cheek by stone pro-

boys in yard on the opposite side. That same
evening, having refined in my horse to speak to
a friend, saw one of these boys crossing the
street in a peculiarly quiet manner for a boy.
detected a stealthy movement of his hand, and
on the instant my horse reared and plunged for
ward. struck by a stone that quiet lad had aimed
at him. On quieting my horse l drove back,
but not a boy was to be seen. Where are the
parents of these boys? Failing them. where are
the police? AN INQUIRER.

The great pests of the trees; and in fact Of all
vegetation. the caterpiiiars, have not made
their appearance in this vicinity this year except
IN very small numbers. and their rayages are
therefore easily checked Otherparts ofthe coun-
try have not been equally well favored. In New
York the devastation among the trees and
shrubs is frightful, and the sparrOws. which were
considered the great preventive, seem to have
gone out of the business of destroying cater
pillars entirely, at least they both exist and
appear to live together in perfect harmony. In
New Y ork city the trees have the appearance of
having been scOrched by fire. The leaves
dry and curl up, ana the vitality of
the trees appears to be quite gone Wet
weather is considered to be favorable for the de-
yeiopment of these pests. and the comparatively
dry season 50 far probably accounts for the fail
uFe on the part of the caterpiars to appear in
large numbers in this vicinity. Mr.. w. K. Smith
Of the parking commission, told STAR reporter
that the caterpllars were giving but little trouble
this year, and had not made their appearance in
great numbers He said that they found in some
OF the trees these pests. and had adopted means
oil DISCRIMINATING them. The means employed
was simply to cutoff the limbs where the cOcOOns
had been spun and destroy the caterpillars. By
constant supervision the pests We're kept in
check. He did not anticipate any trouble from
MS source during the present summer

sSt was taxed with the costs. The Justice was
eolored- decision equally favorable to plain

since The justice was white. The suit was for
wages-the defence breach Of contract. A farm
hand contracted to WORK from March to Septem-

by higher wages, he suddenly left to the great
trouble and expense Of his employer. and then

1sadanf with the Information that the sole rem
edy for loss by this breach of contract was to
enter suit against this penniless laborer for
damages, Had the case been exactly the re-

The Pound Master Wanted.


To the Editor Of THx EVENING STAR.
Now that the pound master has renewed ope-
ratiOns against the dogs, 1t is to be hoped that
he will extend his movements to that part of
the city bounded by 18th and 14th, and Boundary

more worthless ours to the square inch there
than in any other section of Washington Of the
same size. Let him fall upon the enemy, like
StOnewall Jackson, without warning and he
will. no doubt, make many prisoners. Very few
OF these internal pests OF humanity wear the re-
quired tag. and about all the use they are In the
world Is to snarl and bite at persons when walk

dog that disturbs the peace of the sick and well
at night 10 an enemy af humanity; aud ought to
be tied to his dog kicked all over Washington,

such dogs In Washington, L. fact too well
known for any one to deny. They should be

French Mobiles.

French Mobiles.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.
1t has been said that If you wish to learn
whether caste survives In any given country
you should look to its usages of marriage. Now
the first cause OF the isolation Of the titled
classes in France is their practice of marrying
among themselves. Marriages with the rest of
the nation are very rare and always Of one kind;
the son ola noble marries sometimes the daugh-
ter of man Of the other classes, the daughter of
such man marries noble almost never. And
to the isolation caused by non-intermarriage
is added the social isolation produced BY
special pursuits. Nothing seems more capri
cious to the foreign observer than the choice of
professions and emplOyments by the sons of q
Iegitimist family. The legtimist will go into the
army and he will take small clerkship in the
Office of q railway company. But he will only
serve the government in certain special capaci-
ties, and he will have nothing to do with trade
These prejudices do not exclude considerable
virtues and considerable services to French So
ciety. The titled landowners Of France, who
still hold a much larger portion of the soil than
is commonly supposed in this country, have
been the great imprOvers OF French agriculture,
and much of the development Of the enormous
natural wealth Of France is attributable to
them Their private virtues have been deposed
to by great authorities. The late Mr.. j. S. Mill,
who lived much in France, is known to have
had very high opinion of his legitimist neigh
ing that If you wanted to find a Frenchman who
habitually spoke the truth and was honest in all
his dealings you should search for a legitimist
noble. But all this has invariably been coupled
with great ignorance and strong prejudice The
insane speculation Of many months Is best ex-
planned by the repressed energy Of q class vol
unfairly excluding itself from q large field of
employment and by its ignorant contempt for
regular and honest trade. It cannot exactly be
said of a French noble that he cannot dig. to beg
he is ashamed. The fact Is that, II very poor, he
would willingly dig or live on the charity Of his
relatives. But nothing would induce him to
mix himself with the usual occupations Of the
bourgeoisie. Unfortunately for himself. though
he may not trade, he does not der0gate from his
position by trafi1cking in the stock and shares
which ought to represent trade.
Wall Street VI Congress.
From the Buffalo Express.
Since the bank charter extension bill passed
they cannot have any certified" checks in Wall
street. But they have accepted" ones, which
answer exactly the same purpose, and business
goes along as it did before. Congress has
passed great many laws to prevent people
from doing what they like with their own, but
none Of them have ever worked. Still, probably
q great many more will be passed. Congress
never learns anything. Some Congressman
