One of the amusing things In life &C.
CURED at one of the down town hotels yes
tcrday. A gentleman, about 30 years Of
age, arrived at the hotel from tho South on
the morning train and registered his namo.
He lives among the mountains Of old Vir-
pibia, fifty miles from railroad or tele-
graph line. He has an uncle living in
Richmond, Va, with whom he corresponds.
Prior TO starting for Washington no and his
uncle had agreed to meet here. The uncle,
in his last letter to the nephew, wrote that
he would lot him know at Washington just
what day he would be In the city, it hav-
ing been arranged that the young man
should arrive here on or about the 25th
instant, which he did.
After he had subscribed himself on the
register of the hotel he proceeded to the
baI-room, took mint smash, walked into
the washroom and took a wash, Returning
TO the office the clerk handed him n tcle-
gram which had just been brought in. Ho
opened the envelope and read tho contents,
which were from his uncle, stating that he
would leave Richmond for Washington that
night.
The young man read aud reread the tele-
gram. Finally he leaned over tho counter,
called the clerk and addressed him about as
follows: "1f l know anything IL Is not
Uncle Johns handwriting" exhibiting the
telegram. This may be his handwriting,
but IL don't look bit like II, and will be
hanged If believe it,"
The clerk took some pains to explain to
him what IL was, aud how 1t was but up
TO midnight last night he was still in q
quandary.

A Good Sign.

Ono indication Of Republican success this
fall is the denomination by tho party of
such Congressman and other officials, and
such only as have been proven competent
and useful public servants. This is sound
Civil.Service reform and good public policy.
If member has in him the making of
good legislator his third term is sure to be
moIe useful than both the preceding. This
oft-noted truism is now suggested by the
recent denomination of Hon. q. W. Steele,
Of "the Wabash District" of Indiana
Major Steele has been already twice elected
in district arranged by q Democratic Leg
islature for Democratic stronghold. He
has so faithfully, industriously and wisely
served his constituency and the country at
large as to well merit this third nomina-
ton. Indeed the Republicans of that dis
trict honor themselves no less than their
servant in again placing in his hands the
campaign standard. We think they will
re-elect him by a largely increased ma
jority In fact his indefatigable and hon.
orable service merits unanimous vote ir-
respective of party lines

THE WASHINGTON ASYLUM.
Important ImprOvemenisto he Made
This Year.

This Year.
"There will be several very important
improvements accomplished at the Wash
iDgton Asylum during the present year,
said Commissioner West in reply to in
quiries. "The District Architect is engaged
upon plans for an addition to the male ward
for the asylum hospital, which will prove
ofgreat value in relieving the crowded con-
dition of the hospital. The central portion
of the building will be two stories high, 20x
90 feet, surrounded by four ne-story wards
of the same proportions. Tho building will
cost SO, 500, and be better in several minor
features than the present wards. Mr..
Stoutenburgh, the superintendent has re-
turned from New York, where we have
purchased the rails, dump-cars, ETC., for y
movable tramway $500 feet in length, which
shall be used in grading streets and filling
up the asylum grounds aud marshes.
The workhouse Chain.GanS
will put down the tracks and do all tho
work required. The track will presumably
DO laid so as to facilitate the work of grad
ing Pennsylvania avenue east, and this
work will be pushed to completion, after
which the tracks will be taken up and re-
laid go as to allow work upon whatever
street is next selected for Improvement.
The chain-gang has demonstrated its ability
to do very valuable work, and will accom-
plish important street improvements"

THE DISTRICT CHARITIES.
The Commissioner Trying 90 &C
Valuable Statistical Inform nj 10 n.

Tho commissioners Trying 90 get
valuable Statistical Information.
The District Commissioners have decided
upon a thorough compilation of statistics
concerning the charities, reformatories,
hospitals and asylums Of the city for their
own information and the guidance of Con-
gress.
1t is of the greatest importance" said
District Commissioner this morning, that
the charities and rcformatorics Of the
National Capital should be well organized,
well understood, harmonious and cilica-
cious, and with q view to promoting these
objects, we have addressed n circular to all
these institutions, whether they receive
District or Governmental assistance or not,
calling for certain information. Tho circu-
lars will DO addressed to the orphan, infant,
insane and other asylums, free kinder
gartens, homes, industrial and other free
free schools, etc, etc, and will request in
formation as to the name, organization,
management, objects and facilities of each
organization, the nature of cases treated or
character of patients admitted and the rc.
quiiements as TO sex, age, color or creed of
those admitted, the actual capacity and
average attendance, the expense per capita
OF caring for inmates, the number of ply
sicians, matrons, ETC., employed, the amount
of real property owned, actual revenues
and disbursements etc.
"Tbis information, IL furnished by all
the institutions of every character, will
form most comprehensive and useful col
lection Of statistics, and will indirectly ac-
complish many important changes and inn
provements. We have no idea that any
abuses exist and the inquiry does not arise
from any complaint or suspicion, but we are
compelled to admit that the charities and
unsystematized condition, and we realize
the necessity for bringing them into a more
perfect system and classification"
