"My fee, SIR" was the reply, sis So"
"Flve dollars" said Hardpay, affecting as
tonishment; "'ll give you 81: not cent

A bright idea struck the doctor; and he pre-
tended TO waive the question, as II disinclined

ashes OF the past This ancient story and all the
other chestnuts he could think OF.
Mr.. Hardpay stood II for while, without be-

threw his Jaw out OF place. This was what
the doctor anticipated.
"Good evening, Mr.. Hardpay," he said, pleas

Mr.. Hardpay vouchsafed no reply, but gesti'

his retreat; but finally relented (?) and sig

Jaw for SO cash.
The old man looked at irst as II resolved to

serves.
WAR has been declared between Wash
ington and Georgetown again." remarked
resident of West Washington to q Critic
reporter. THAT is to say, that the George
town boys have reissued an old-time order
that the Washington boys must confine
their flirting to the eastern side of Rock
Creek, and Washington youth who crosses
that muddy Rubicon TO call upon ono Of
Georgetown's fair daughters does so at his
peril"
"For many years this warfare was car
red on with unrelenting hostility by tho
juvenile element, but now it has spread
to children of larger growth, and several
rather serious ARRAYS have recently oc-
cured in which the city fellows have gem
orally fallen victims to much larger force
of Georgetownians. One notable encoun-
ter few evenings ago resulted in we'll
known young man of tho West End being
very severely injured by being struck with
a brick.
ut is not altogether the fault of the
West Washington boys, but recently they
have been the aggressors and have formally
notified number of tho city admirers of
Georgetown maidens that they will be
'trotted out OF town whenever found there.
The city fellows feel that their reputation
for pugillsm and pluck has suffered some-

THE MATE OF THE. MosELEY

keF-hh hhVebttgNtkou OTueE6u.
The men who are pulled up by blue
clothes and brass buttons to an inordinate
estimation OF their own authority and
powers are not, it appears, confined to the
police force. This time it is the mate of
the steamer Jane Moseley. According to a
passenger on that vessel last night, who
was returning from Blackstone Island, a
gentleman was sitting quietly on the upper
deck guarding two vacant chairs, which
their late occupants, two ladies, had just
left for minute or two.
The mate seeing the empty chairs rushed
up to the gentleman, Mr.. Charles Atkinson,
who was watching the chairs aud wanted
to know why he was monopolizing all the
chairs on board, while there were many
who had no chairs. 1t is said that the man
ner of the officer in making these remarks
was extremely offensive. Mr.. Atkinson re.
piled quietly that he was keeping the chairs
for some ladies. The mate remarked that
he had no right to do anything of the kind
The ladies should take their chairs with
them when they went away.
Tho mate then attempted to tako the
chairs away. This induced passenger,
who was witness Of the scene, to interfere
and demonstrate with the officer. He claim
ed that Mr.. Atkinson was perfectly right in
keeping the chairs. The mate turned on
him, and angry words were exchanged.
The mate was finally persuaded to leave
the spot, and thus more serious hostilities
were prevented. 1t is said that the mate
would have been arrested, but for tho fact
the steamer was outside the District when
the affair occurred. An investigation will
be made by the company into the officers
conduct,

one item in the will Of the late Prince Gort-

court circles OF st. Petersburg. 1t had boon
observed that the Prince had always worn
upon the little finger Of his left hand a gold
ring OF apparently small value. 1t had evil

was buried with his ring upon his finger.
II was only shortly before the Princes death
that he disclosed the secret OF the ring 20 his
second SOB, Prince Constantine. II had been
