Mr. Hail and the commissioners.

To the Editor OF THE CutEF.
1t is curious dispcnsation or rather distri-
bution of intellect that fHvors the brilliant
aud laughablc cgotsms of friend Hall in his
jolly drives at the county commissioners of
this county. The old bridge purchase did
not prove c,artiy what was wanted for high
water. and that being SO disastrous affords an
opportunity for such Jokes as Mr.. Hall only
can get up. Whether II is prcmcditatcd
effort to charge Mr.. Hart entirely with the
matter or not can only be surmised. But,
Judging from the facts in the case, one might
lie led to believe that laugh could be made
Mt the expense of the other commissioners,
and only Mr.. Hart to stand the racket. This
il not fair. But if the other commissioners
can't stand the laugh. why let Mr.. Hart enjoy
the ptivilcgc, and stand the racket for them
and Mr.. lInll too. y.

EGG ROLLING.
The Sport Peculiar TO Washington Chill
drnn on Easter Monday.


Easter Monday can bo said to be children's
day in Washington, although many grown up
ones give themselves up to the delights which
tho occasion brings forth. Yesterday groups
Of children of all ages, sizes, and both sexes
were seen on the white house grounds. They
were all as merry AS children could be, full of
fun. and carrying in small baskets, or as in
many instances, in their pockets, vari.colored
eggs, which ever and anon were rolled down
the gentle slopes and often followed by the
owner, creating thereby shouts Of laughter
which found an echo In the breast Of the
looker.on or passer-by. By noon the crowd
grew very large, aud the var-colored dress
pattern of the girls, and the commingling Of
the well.dresscd youths, and companions
less fortunate in attire, made the
scene animated and picturesque
The "big picnic" as il might we'll be
termed, was conducive of much pleasure to
all who were present. Everyone seemed
happy, and nothing transpired to mar the
innocent gayety Of the occasion. In other
sections OF the city similar scenes were en-
acted. Everywhere both boys and girls
could be seen with Easter eggs-the boys in
eager hope to "bust" some "chummy's" egg
or "our little darling" rolling hers down some
gentle slope. Despite the rawness Of the day
Easter Monday was we'll observed in this
peculiar fashion.

After the election of permanent officers two
delegates to the Chicago presidential convon-
tion will be elected. The leading candidates
are Messrs. william Dickson, L, ID. Wright
Luttrell, Hewitt, aud CloughtOn. The
friends of the two former claim that they
will be elected on tho first ballot. The
friends of the three latter are also quite san
guine of SUCCESS.
There will be spirited fight for the chair

TO no in the lead.
Mr. Frank p. Morgan is in the race as q
candidate for the sscretaryship of the con-

Wright and the strength OF those gentlemen
will doubtless be thrown ON his side of the
balance.

A Brilliant Concert Under the Auspices

a Brilliant Concert Under the Auspices
OF the Carroll Institute.
Bischof never played better nor have the
superb voices of the st. Cecilia quartette
sounded to better advantage than at their
concert last night under the auspices of the
Carroll institute. The selections were ex.
eellent and the rendition admirable. Prof.
Bischof opened the concert with an
organ solo, selected with his well-known
artistic taste and played in his usual splendid
style. Mendelssohn's "Hunting Song was
then rendered by the quartette, and, in
sang charmingly "The Night Has Thou
sand Eyes" Miss Detweiler followed with
Tosti's Good by" and in obedience to an
encore, gave "Kathleen Mavourneen." The
quartctte then rendered two Scotch songs
"Where is My Highland Laddie Gone" and
Annie Laurie" In the latter especially
were tho strength and beauty of the different
voices admirably revealed The liquid purity
of Miss EVANS soprano, and tho deep, full,
vibrant melody Of Mrs, Millss superb con-
traito were contrasted and blended In ex-
quisite harmony. After these songs Mrs.
Powell sang "Romanza" from Faust with
encore, and Prof Bisehoff followed with an
organ solo that was greeted with vociferous
recall. In compliance he played a variated
medley on Alice Hawthorne's "Mocking
Bird" in a manner that exhibited the full
capacities Of the organ and created a genuine
enthusiasm in the audience Miss Evan fol-
lowed him with "Com + Bells" a beautiful
specimen of Donnizetti's elaborate fiorature
brilliantly executed. "Jackey Horner," an
"Ave Maria" and q duet between Mrs
Powell and Miss Evan closed one Of the most
enjoyable concerts of the season.
