quarters a line OF handsome drags, plumes
dancing upon the heads of tho horses and
garlands Of flowers encirclIng the nedks OF
the animals. Soon the cayalrymen, mounted
In full dress uniform, appeared, and the fair
guests were led to their coaches. The caval-
cade was led by trumpeters of the United
States Army, who were followed by tho cav
airy color. guard, General Marmaduke, tally
no coach, with John A. Cockerin driving, and
many drags, each with Its freight Of bellies.
Then pranced along the gay troopers, with
General Thomas IL. Nelll and other noted mil
itary men for the rear guard. The caYalcade
moved through the city 10 tho Jefferson Bar

ing. constable resides in the locality of the
Falls, but receives little income from his Of
fee. He studied how to swell 1t, and, in
searching through the statutes of Maryland,
he found an old law making 1t an ofrense pun
ishable by fine to fish on Sunday. Tho dis
covery brought to him feelings of delight for
worked, would develop riches, and he de-
cided to put 1t in force without delay.
On Saturday afternoon and night week
back several parties left this city and George
town and arrived at the Falls early on Sunday.
Not long after reaching there boats were pro-
cured, tackle, bait and baskets loaded, and
the different crafts put out into the steam.
When the constable thought that all the fisher
men had come down to his sea that were
menced his haul and soon had made several
arrests. Those fishing n little distance below
the Falls got wind of what was transpiring,
pulled down stream, then went ashore and
allowed the owner of the boat to take it back
without his passengers, and they quietly
sneakod back to see how matters were turning
out.
The constable, not content with hauling In
the fisherman, arrested all the boatmen who
were rowing there about the Potomac to favor
ite places where fish were supposed to
abound, and the owners OF boats who rented
them to parties to be used in fishing on Sun
day.

recent visit to Washington, came Into posses
sion of small marble medallion OF the late
President GARFIELD, which, aside from being
