Mr.. MALONE has issued an address to
his fellow Readjusters. in which he tries
to explain the recent defeat Of his party,
and announces their future programme.
He makes very reckless statements in re-
gard to the political affairs Of Virginia,
and waves the bloody shirt frantically.
lie says that his party will fight OH, and
believes that the Readjusters will join
hands with the Republicans in the next
Presidential campaign. He expects to
"receivc support from the Federal Gov
ernmcnt in behalf OF the rights Of man"
which means that United States soldiers
will lend their aid ut the polls as they did
In the Southern States under Grants al
ministration.

Hon. SAMUEL j F.. RANDALL seems to have
the lead in the fight for the Speaksrship
OF the House, but whether he will be able
to make successful run against all the
other candidates against him remains to
be seen. The next Congress will require
a cool, steady, capable Speaker, aid Nr.
Randall will meet these requirements
better than any other man in the House.
The interests of the country demand a
man OF his fitness and ability, anG the
welfare Of the Democratic party depends
TO great extent upon his selection.

The wedding of Mr.. Henry g. Wagner,
the wellknown jeweler of NJ street, and
Miss Louisa s. Memmert the accomplished
daughter of Mr., Charles Memmert, took place
last evening at the residence of the brides
father, on Dunbarton avenue, only the rela-
tives aud few intimate friends being pres
ent. The ceremony was impressively per-
formed by the Rev. Mr.. Nindorf, of the
Lutheran church. The bride was dressed in
a handsome travelling costume. On tine con-
clusion of the ceremony the guests partook of
n splendid collation., served by Stohlman,
West Washington's caterer. The newly
married pair left on the $50 train for an ex-
tended tour to the north, stopping at Watkins
Glen, Niagara, Rochester, and New York bG-
fore their return. Three lovely little nieces
of the bride strcwed their pathway to the
carriage with flowers, and shower of the
traditional slippers were thrown AT them.

THE "NAT1oNAL 1NrELL1eENcER." i"
A Glance mt tho Contents OF the Great
Paper or Other Days.

EhpeE OF OLnef DnyHs
Commissioner West yesterday purchased
seven volumes of tho old National Iateltigencer
from Mr.. @. II. Davis, tho grocer, of South
Washington who had previously bought them
of an old lady by tho namo of Cooper. The
editions arc complete, and are n very mine
of quaint and valuable information to the
antiquary, the journalist, or the philosopher.
Inc InteHigeRCer wasn't newspaper. 1t
was vehicle for conveying the opinions of
distinguished publicists on important national
issues to tho thinking public. AS such it WIS
unequalod in the history of journals in this
country. Besides old Joe Gales, tho ablest
publicist in the country, and his friend, and
scarcely less distinguished thinker, w. w.
Seaton, the ablcst intcllects of the democratic,
tho national republican, and finally the whig
party, contributed to its columns 1t was d
power from tho start.
These volumes are valuable however for
other than their political articles, their dis
cussion of social questions, their reports Of
congressional speeches. They bring up to
present gaze the dead and buried past of
Washington social life, with all its ruddy and
vigorous though stiff and formal activity.
Herein may be read how they conducted
weddings in high life in those old dead days,
dayf so dead that tho rouge on the BRIDES
check is AS pallid now as the powder in tho
groom's hair. Glimpses are caught of the in
tensely respectable and we'll bred, of the
fashionable social life OF the capital, which
had all tho brilliancy, though none of the
grace, and much of the coarseness with little
of the taste, of Paris under the ancient
regime.
In the Kaleidoscope of these volumes may
also be seon bits of the common life. Most
of this, however, is to be gathered from tho
advertisements. And how few, how short
these werel THE REPUBLICAN of to.day's
issue contains more advertisements than tho
InteHigencer would have in month. Other
peculiarities Of Washington are to be seen in
these volumes, pecularities of days justly
dead, and from whose corpses nothing but the
ghosts of memories may ever be resurrected.
Tho streets then were not numbered, and
peoples houses and places of business were
indicated by squares-for instance, John
Smiths store is on Missouri avenue, between
Sixth and Seventh streets northwest" No
tiCes of sales of negroes are to be found in
many of the numbers.
The National lnteHigencer was established
here in 1S00-the same year the government
was moved here from Philadelphia. John
Adams was president. The paper was over
siXty-eight years old when it was united with
the present Sunday Herald.

To-day will be the last day of the souvenir
offerings at the fall opening at the Palais
Royal. For the past two days the spacious
store has been crowded with eager purchasers,
the rain of yesterday not at all interfering
with the numbers who where eager to take
advantage of the special prices offered The
stock in every department is new and com
plete and as Mr. Lisner, during his recent
trip to Europe made arrangements to make
his own importations, he is enabled
to sell at corrcspondingly reduced
prices by obtaining his goods direct
from the manufacturers. Every counter is
thronged with buyers, whether it be of
gloves, in which the Palais Royal has always
made a speciality; iewelry, laces, trimmings,
buttons, Jerseys, of which is carried larger
stock than any other establishment in the
district; handkorchicfs, hosiery, corsets,
ladies' wear, household goods and blankets,
leather and fancy goods, or gentlemen's fur
nishing goods. AS to handkerchiefs, the
rush of those at cents has been so great that
the stock is exhausted; but to-day will be
offered one at cents that is nearly as good.
The tasteful arrangement of the Palais Royal,
and the attractive display of every class of
goods are worthy of especial mention and
have their influence upon the customers. Mr..
Lisner keeps none but the best articles on
hand, and his being able to offer them at such
extremely low prices is because of his facilities
in buying and of his determination that his
customers shall have the benefit of them.
Ladies who have not yet visited tho Palais
Royal should remember that the advantage
of the reductions will expire to-day. The
advertisement will give full catalogue of the
special prices for the different articles.
