The Curbstone club.

The Curbstone Club met at the usual
hour in front Of DIR. A. B. Ramsey's
Office, with full attendance, President
Ramsey presiding. Roll was called
and absentees noted.
Upon motion Of Bro. Conner, the reg
ular order of business was suspended,
as there were several petitions to come
before the Club. The petitions of
Miss Ann Black, Miss Bette Smithson,
Miss Allie Wallace, and Frank Spur
lock, Ferg Fleming and S. F. Penne-
baker were presented and read by the
secretary to the club. Bro. Edwards
reported all the above candidates in
waiting, and upon motion of Brother
Frank Colville the ballot was proceeded
with, and all votes being in the affirm
alive, they were duly and constitution
ally elected to membership.
One great feature for discussion at
this meeting was, (Which showed up
best (from the street, of course,) in a
frame Huse Brooks owl or its master ?"
The question was discussed forcibly by
all present, but could not be decided
until a committee was appointed to wait
on his owlship, and by the "smile" to
be seen beaming on their faces when
they returned it was plain that Huse
had won. The secretary so recorded it,
The following paper was read before
the Club by one of the members
dear Brethren: As our beloved Pres.
ident has lately shown such desire to
beautity our meeting place with beau
tiful flowers, ETC., and believing it our
duty to aid him in the good work, we
submit the following for his considera-
ton and guidance in case he desires to
use it,
TO MAKE A HANGING GARDEN.
Take printers towel as the basis.
Yon may have little trouble in secur-
ing one, as the craft usually hang on to
a specimen 81 long that parting with it
is like losing an old friend. Carry it
the same as you would pane of glass,
being very careful not to bend it. Sus-
pend it by the four corners in your win
dow aed SOW fax, lettuce, or any other
seeds you may wish to cultivate upon
it except pumpkin. The soil is too
rich to grow that kind of vegetable.
Sprinkle carefully every morning, and
in few days it will be a lovely illus
tration of the old saying that nature
abhOrs vacuum"
A resolution was offered and adopted
requesting that all new members bring
their own chairs and whiting wood.

The Boston Collectorship.

The New York Tribune says that the
President has nominated collector for
the port of Boston "in direct opposition
70 and defiance Of the Massachusetts
Senator'S" This we do not believe. The
Tribune must certainly be misinformed.
The Massachusetts Senators cannot have
taken any position on the collectorship
which would make the Presidents ac-
tion defiance. He has not breathed q
word of defiance. They have not threat
cned any consequences. What has he
defed? We are not sure that the nomi-
nation has been made in opposition to
the Senators, because we have no infor-
nation that they sought to direct the
President in the matter.
We do not wish TO be unkind, but it
would be interesting to know from the
Tribune whether the presidential pre-
rogative,' of which we heard so much
year ago, was buried with the late Pres-
dent, whether the vice of Senate dicta-
tion" has become virtue, and whether
senatorial courtesy" was Objectionable
only so long as it applied to Senators from
the State of New York.
The reformers will please observe that
Mr. Worthington was nominated to sue
ceed Mr. Beard, whose term as collector of
Boston has expired. 1t is therefore un-
like the case of New York, when Merritt
was removed in the middle ofhs term TO
make room for Robertson.

The Potomac Flats.

No measure has been presented in
Congress for many years which is of such
vast importance to the people Of the Dis.
trict as the bill for the improvement of
the Potomac Flats, which will come up
for consideration and action in the House
this morning. We have no Delegate in
Congress through whom our wants can
be made known on the floor and we are
dependent upon the District Committee
for all the congressional aid we receive,
Fortunately that committee recognizes
the necessity for the improvement
of the river front and the reclamation of
the flats, which have for 30 long spread
malaria over the finest portion of the
city, and we believe the members will
state the case 80 strongly-which they
are abundantly competent TO do, for they
have personally inspected the locality
that the bill will be Immediately passed.
Every citizen is interested in the re-
moval Of this one blot upon our fair Capt.
tai City, and all should urge the import
ance Of the measure upon such members
Of Congress as they may personally
know.

The young member from New jersey for his
maiden effort in the House gave one of the most
elaborate and telling speeches yet given on the
subject of the tariff commission bill Saturday,
The condition of labor in England contrasted with
that in the United States well presented, show
ing contrast most favorable to the latter country,
very much to the credit of the-tarf system. The
condition Of the cofon, silk, and iron industries
was elaborated upoJ with the practical hand of n
manufacturer. To Vim the question was not so
much theory as with most speakers. EXI erience
and practice aB a business man has evidently
educated him in the right direction for a
useful man for all the practical business
problems coming before Congress. But the
most striking part of his speech was
that showing the absurdity Of the position Of the
american Manufacturing Free Trader" Hon. A.
S. Hewitt. The old speech of Mr.. Hewitt IN favor
ofa tariff was read with effect along with series
of resolutions in favor Of tariff offered by Mr.. H.
at a tariff meeting in Trenton, N j., in the Taylor
and Fillmore campaign. These resolutions cover
the whole ground Of protection, as claimed by the
most advanced protectonist7of this day, and can
not be explained away by the honorable gentle
man from New York. The speech was well lis.
tened to by tho members present. and 1t is to be
regretted that tho House was so thin.

Mr.. CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS, of Massa-

Judgment He desired to win that amount
from the gamblers into whose den he was
inveigled and from which he did not re-.
tire until he had finished playing at the

indignant friends, who think he would
have played better or not at all if his
mind had been of its former strength. If
Mr.. Adams had won $4,000 and de-
posted it in his bank and had explained
how he got il the public would never
have heard Of his singular conduct from
any of his family or friends. Bulwer

have differed from Mr.. Adams in his lofty
disdain Of those weaknesses the absence
of which in man makes us to question
his humanity, we heartily wish he had
