Colonel Canaday, sergeant.at.Arms OF the
Senate, will entertain a few OF hlsitrlends this
evening at his home, on Delaware avenue aud
O street northeast.
The attack In the Washington correspond
ence Of the New York Times yesterday on the
assistant superintendent OF the Senate docu-
mentroom is pronounced by the old Members
OF the Housewife know the gentleman assailed,
as being cruel, unwanton aud baseless. Cap
tain Mckee, the gentleman aim6d at, was
superintendent OF tho Clerks document-room
OF tho last House, and was so efficient and
gave such universal satisfaction that his re-
tention was asked by large number OF even
tho Democratic Members, and had the position
not been one 30 purely political that Its occu
pant Is universally changed when the House
ts reorganized he would have peen retained.
He took to the position no now occupies so
much ability in the same line OF service that
the duties OF the offlce would not have suffered
had they been applied TO the first place; but
THE CRITIC has Information from tho very best
possible source that Captain Mckee did not
expect to receive the position OF superlntend-
emf, and that the statement that he aspired to
IL or sought II is untrue. The superintendent
is very efficient and accommodating onicer
and THE CRITIC Is his friend; but that should
not bar proper recognition OF the capacity OF
his assistant.
Gil Pierce, VINO was nominated yesterday to
DO Governor OF Dakota, Ia one OF the most pop
ular members Of the stan OF the Chicago NeWs.
The Ne,ps urged the nomination of the Presi-
dent for a second term.
Some members OF the House Committee on
Poetoflices and Poetroads have expressed the
belief that tho bill OF Mr.. Bingham (Pa.) re.
ducing the postage on drop letters to one cent
and permitting tho transmission of letters
weighing ono ounce for two cents will be
passed early in the next session OF this Con-
gresa. They cay the two-cent letter postage
has exceeded the expectations of the Depart
nj rfvad mud
that a further reduction Of this character may
be safely granted.

Tho Husband Must Take Care of
PuDcy, hut tho Nurse Can Look
After the Baby.
AT the D. h p. Railroad depot yesterday
morning q little episode occurred which
elbows where some women bestow their afrec-
tons. young gentleman accompanied his
wife TO the depot. sho was going on a vlsit to
friends In Annapolis, as che bought q ticket
for that place. The husband got on the train
with his little helpmeet. They talked pleas
antly for some time when the bell rang for the
train TO start.
"Good-bye, love-" she said.
Goodbye, my darling" was the response.
"Dy the way" said his wife, "you must tako
very good caro- OF Puncy. Now, don't lot q
soul hurt tho dear little doggie. Sec that no
one takes that ribbon on his neck, and be sure
and not let him run out with tho old nasty
street dogs. Mind what cay. II anything
happens to Puncy, Ill never again speak TO
you"
Tho car was full. The husband looked
dazed and half mad, and started 10 leave the
car, but came back and said.
"Do you want any care taken OF our baby?"
"oh, forgot all about baby" said tho de-
voted wife. "You may tell the nurse to take
care OF the baby, too"
The husband left tho car tribe rufled,
and as he walked up tho platform he could be
heard murmuring something like this, "Take
care of doggie. Damned II / do. Ill crush
the life out OF the d-n thing"

MR.. n0LE'S SPEECH

To the King, delivered last night in
front of the Palace, was q masterly
effort. He arose to the occasion
and did full justice to it. In clear
loud voice, and unfaltering manner,
he arraigned the course of the
Ministry, and spoke the sentiment
of the community to his Majesty,
face to face.
His Majesty and the people of
this Kingdom, may deem themselves
fortunate in numbering such a man
among the members of the Legisla-
ture. Would that the spirit dis
played by him and his patriotic
colleagues were an index of the
spirit of the Legislature as whole.
Were it so, His Majesty would have
no occasion to deliver such q mes
sage to the Legislature as he yester-
day considered necessary.

gathering at the Bell Tower, and at

following order:

DR.. C. IR0uSSEAu.

We commented in what may have
been unnecessarily severe terms,
yesterday, upon the promoters of the
Lottery Bill. We did so under the
conviction that the interests of the
public demanded a vigorous treat
ment of the measure, and without
personal animosity towards the pro-
mOters..
Had we known that the bill was
to be withdrawn to-day, the article
would not have been written. In
view of the fact that the promoters
of the Lottery Bill have themselves
voluntarily withdrawn it, they are
entitled to due credit therefore, and
we, in common with the rest of the
community, are willing to give them
credit for having acted in the best
interests of the community in so
doing.
