land Office called in body on the commits
sioner yesterday and presented their con-
gratulations to him as well as floral offering
of handsome design, During the pleasant
time that followed the fact that the day was the
natal anniversary Of the three great men men
toned above was commented on, and some an
tiquarian Of the office remarked the possession
of poetical talents by both the commissioner
and Shakespeare. The Bucyrus (Ohio) Journal,
speaking Of the old American house in that
city, cited the following verses written by Mr..
Mcfarland, then q law partner and boarder
at that hotel
He who In comfort hero would snooze
within the walls of Vera Cruz,
Or dine at Jake's luxurious table,
Or have horse in his new stable,
Must with the early dawn arise
And sweep the cobwebs from his eyes.
II must he confessed that the above lines
are rather obscure but, applying the rules
laid down in similar cases by Quinctillien's
pedant, they are certainty excellent Mean
while, though his fame as lawyer has
eclipsed his renown as poet, the host of
Commissioner Netherlands friends congratu-
lated him upon the recurrence of his birth
day. And THE REPUBLICAN applies to him
tho language which the Persian Hafs applied
to his distinguished countryman, Flodonsi,
"May you live thousand years and your
shadow never grow less !"

OHIO POLITICS.
A Talk with Democratic Ex-NIember OF
Special DispdtcI

Special Jspdtch.
NEW YORK, April 23.-Gen. A. V. Rice,
formerly member of congress from Ohio
and now prominent politician in that state
is in the city. In an interview to-day he said
there was but little talk in political circles as
yet, though things will undoubtedly be lively
enough in few days. He says the woods are
full of candidates. Mr.. Butterworth, Mr..
Sherman, and Gen. Thomas are prominent in
the republican ranks, and Mr. Hoadly, Mr.!
Geddes, and Gen. Moore in the democratic
party.
When asked about the newly resurrected
Tilden boom he said:
Mr.. Tilden has not thus far been regarded
am ong the probabilities. There is feeling
that the time for his nomination was in 1880,
when the electoral fraud might have been
made the question. But at present Mr..
Tilden has not been thought Of as a candidate
at ALL"
"Do you regard him as the strongest man
that could be nominated?"
81 am not prepared to say just now, for, as 1
say, he has not baen regarded as among the
probabilities. l will say this, however, do
not regard Mr.. Tilden as head and shoulders
above many other prominent statesmen in the
country"

"a Fool and his Money" sc.
Special Dispatch.


BALTIMORE, Md, April pa few weeks
ago Mr.. Hennessy, who reported himself
from Chambersburg, Pa, came to Baltimore
with about $1,000 in his possession. He had
notbeei here many hours before he became vio-
lently smitten with young woman in the
Meadow, a disreputable locality and very
soon all his cash disappeared. Finally the
girl borrowed his jewelry and diamonds to
wear at ball, and the next morning she gave
him pawn ticket for 800, which she had
borrowed upon the articles. Mr.. Hennessy
then took his elegant road wagon and fine
mare and sold them for 500. Suspicious were
aroused as to the ownership of the team, but
investigation disclosed that Hennessy reany
owned the horse and wagon that he had sold
that he was the proprietor of large livery
stable in Chambersburg, and that his parents,
who are quite wealthy, live in that city
Hennessy was anxious to get his property
back, but the party having the team held
bill of sale and declined to surrender the
property.

Vast improvements and changes are being
made IN the New National Museum. A largo
force OF hands are kept busy at work under
the direction OF Mr.. Horan, and places which
few weeks ago were void OF exhibits are now
made Interesting TO the sight-seor, with rare
attractions from foreign lands and different
parts OF our own country. brace OF Mexican
puppies and brown deer, recently imported,
are Kept in cages near the fountain In the
central portion of the building, together with
several intereating varieties of tho monkey
tribe. The puppies are very Intelligent, and
are almost entirely without hair.
The steamer City OF Alexandria, which i5
now running to lower river points, landed at
the wharves at an extremely early hour this
morning with large number OF countrymen.
The genial visitors from tho rural districts
left the steamer and for n long time were
greatly disturbed by the lack OF facilities for
procuring much'needed inner.man comforts
at that early hour.
Mr.. Edward Anderson, whose illness was
mentioned in yesterdays Critic died yester-
day afternoon, at his residence on street,
after prolonged illness. He was attended
by DR.. May.
Almost the entire expanse OF marsh below
the Long Bridge is covered with water.
The minimum price OF oyster shells by the
cart load Is so cents. There Is an active le-
mand for the shells and much higher prices
are often paid for them on the wharves.
All should remember the grand entertain
ment of tho Washington Light Infantry Cadets

Scarlet fever is prevailing TO considerable
extent In some parts OF South Washington.
The disease Is mostly found In well-to.do fam
illes.
The Dorcas Society Is doing untold good for
the suffering poor OF this section Of the city.
The society Is composed OF benevolent ladies',
who are always willing to give an ear TO the
cry OF want. The poor arc searched for and
given groceries and other nccessarles when
they fail to appeal themselves. In this way
dozens Of deserving families have been aided
during the winter months. The society Is
growing, and already embraces many Of the
leading ladies Of South Washington.
The tabernacle was again well nlled last
night 10 hear the exceedingly humorous and
attractive performance OF the Bassets. Tho
children OF the Sunday-schOol participated in
the songs and delivered themselves In n man
ner which showed the thorough training TO
which they have been subjected. The iuye-
niles were mostly natives OF South Washing
ton, and among them were many possessing
remarkable vocal talent. Tho singing OF
"Yankee Doodle" by little Eddie Springman
drew forth prolonged applause from the audi
ence. The two performances netted u con.
siderable sum for the Sunday-school library.
