The Man Who Clrcled.

A young man Of twenty three, built
like an OK aud full OF ambition, came
in one Of the popular excursions to De-
troii, aud while idling around the Cen
tral Ma ket caught sight of a police
man abput half as big as himself. He
was instantly taken with all itching to
try conclusions, but having a grain OF
prudence in his head he inquired of a
staiI.keeper:
Suppose | should walk up to that
officer AID tell him could lay him on
his back-what would he do?"
Tell you to move on."
"Then suppose ! circled around and
came down on him and offered to bet
that could stand him on lis head?'
He'd probably give you another
chance to clear out"
"Well, I'm aching to try him on,
and Pll begin now.'
He didn't lose minute in walking
up u the officer and assert NJ his be-
lief that he could dust the floor with
his back.
"lou move onw placidly replied the
officer.
The young man took circle around
and came back with the information
that he could pick the blue coat up ant
make his heels kick the air.

Dora, who expected TO sail for Europe last
week. have delayed their departure until next
Monday. Apropos to the two agreeable ladies,
they have taken n box at Ford's, and have
invited a party for "Pcnelope," on Friday
evening.
iho prettiest floral piece OF tho season was
at Ford's, last night-a pair OF scales, sus-
pended from the contre OF tho arch, above tho
stage. The beam was composed OF whito car
nations and roses, and tho fuicrum, on which
IL turned, was of vivid scarlet bloom. Tho
cords that held tho disks were OF smilax, and
the disks themselves were OF white and scarlet
flowers. Across the beam, I'm fragrant tracery,
was the word 'Lex." Whoever designed II,
was weighed in his own balance by the audi.
ence, and was not found wanting in cithor
taste or originality.
General sherman expects to leave to.mor-

in tho comings and goinge OF the two young
people.

Patent Legislation.

To the Editor of The EgentRg Critic:
1t is said that portion, at least, OF the
Senate Committee on Patents Will report
adversely on II. Il. bill No. 601S, which

has been purchased for a valuable considera-
ton in the open MARKET" but that the meas

Senate under the Same pressure which got 1t
through the House. Different opinions seem

sGranger' and kindred organizations that
have been instrumental In Its origination
and passage, and whose political influence 1t
is intended to propitiate, 1t is supposed to
seem the embodiment OF legislative wisdom.
These worthy citizens, who are accustomed
TO exact the last penny for the usufructs of
their special skill or industry, may, possibly,
not find the provision as plain sailing as they
anticipate. For example, even admitting that

viz, those granted before and those granted

says "Congress shall have power y
to promote the progress of science and useful
arts by securing for limited times TO authors
and Inventors the exclusive right to their
respective writings and discoveries" For ad-
vocates OF "the progress of science and useful

seems opportune to memorabilia Congress,

cfpitate action, fairness and public ex xpediency,
alike demand that the creators OF convent

On THE fourth page will be found con-
tinuation of the examination of the Mis-
sissippi River Commissions falacies and
errors. More evidence is adduced to show
that depending on levees is worse than
folly.
What the Mississippi River and its valley
need to improve the navigation of the one
and secure the redemption of the other from
overflow, devastation and death is not
more dams, but mouths through which the
waters in food time may flow peacefully to
the gulf.
The River Commissions plan is simply
to dam the river, ruin the people and plum
der the Treasury.
Captain Cowdon's plan is simply to aid
nature by constructing new mouths, which
he calls outlets, redeem the valley, save
the people and protect the Treasury.

The sATRAPs of Four-and-half street
have succeeded once more in getting all, or
nearly all, of the street improvements con-
fined to the section where they reside and
where their favorite real estate operators
conduct their speculations. But the proba-
bilties are that by the 1st of July the
President will have appointed District
Commissioners whose vision will be SO good
that they can beyond the limits prescribed
by the real estate pool, and whose man.
hood will be sufficiently developed to pre-
vent their being controlled by a subordi-
nate in their Office. The advent of such men
will be eagerly greeted by all except the

The PennsyIyania Editor..

Few more pleasant excursions have ever
started from Washington than the iovial party
OF Pennsylvania editors, who took passage on
the Corcoran yesterday morning for Mount
Vernon. The weather was very favorable and
the pleasant breeze ON the water made the
trip down delightful. Many OF the excursion
lists had never seen the Potomac before, and
watched with eager interest the historic places
as they were passed. The glimpse of Arling-
ton, the Arsenal, the place where the Lincoln
conspirators were hargodj the Navy-yard, the
Anacostia bridge, over which Booth escaped;
the momentary peep at the jail, in which Gui-
teau Is confined, were all objects of great In
terest. Alexandria and the forts (Foote and
washington) were passed, and by noon the
party were under the guidance of the genial
Colonel Hollinsworth, viewing the sacred tomb
and gazing at the many interesting relics OF
the Immortal father OF his country.
The grounds and buildings at Mount Vernon
were all visited by the excursionists. In the
afternoon Colonel Risk, OF Lancaster, was
called upon for an address, which he de-
liyered from the top OF lunch-table, and in
the course Of which he presented, on behalf OF
the gentlemen OF the excursion, a little hatehet
TO Editor Stable. OF the Gettysburg Compiler, in
lustrious George, could not tell lie. The
genial Stable responded IN very humorous
speech, which provoked merry peals OF laugh
ter, which had scarcely died away when tho
party had reached the Seyenth-street wharf.
To-day the excursionists, In little groups,
could be seen In almost every place OF interest,
the Capitol, the Botanical Gardens, the Gov.
ernment Printing ONCE, the Soldiers Home
ana Arlington being the most popular points.
