beautiful voice, although she can no more sing

and the physician said he could not live. The

loud yelling voice "Nearer My God to Thee" II
the poor dying man had not been reconcIled to

during the ceremonies in the most approved
abandon. Once when she arose she brought
away large heap OF shrubbery from the

the scene, and made some OF her friends
liken her to .poor ophella.", Then the bo.

1t is probable that no such funeral was ever
before seen in Washington. To this absurd at

that the husband died from absolute neglect

stopped; he was asked to aligbt, and was

impression was that he was passing through n

taken Into house, shown upstairs and left In

THE contractors for sweeping the streets
of Washington are the most considerate set
Of fellows in the world for their own inter-
ests. They are SO considerate that when
they do sweep they do it at an unseemly
hour, and commence right in the middle of
the road. They sweep all the dirt and
other refuse up to the curb, there to lay
until eight or nine o'clock 10 the morning.
Now, the object of this is evidently to give
the wind chance to blow this dirt into
the houses, thus saving the contractors the

selves.
