Canoeing.

The canoe club report matters booming The
membership is likely to be large, and the num-
Der OF local canoes is to be increased by several
new ones as soon as they can be built Cumber-
land and other boat builders are getting the
proper lines and models ready in anticipation Of
orders from several gentlemen who have become
interested in this branch Of aquatics and the
builder who can turn out the best craft for the
least money will probably have all the orders of
the club, as there are no professional canoe
builders nearer than Staten Island, n. Y. and
the cost OF transportation is considerable. The
model OF the canoe Is different from that of any
other craft. They are sharp at both ends fiatter
III the floor than the pleasure boats used on the
Potomac, and those of the Notwithstanding
variety have their greatest beam forward Of the
center OF the boat. They are built up very light,
and finished and fastened with the greatest care.
fer the reason that besides carving their soi-
tary crew and his cruising outfit, they must
stand the strain Of being used as a sleeping
apartment at night when hauled up on shore
and the wear and tear of railway and wagon
transportation, &c.
At the approaching meeting of the canoe club
next Monday night at DR.. I.atimer's office. 1926
New York avenue a constitution will be SUBJ
united by the committee, report will be rem
dered about a club house. with several designs
by prominent architects. officers will be elected
and other business of importance will be trans
acted. Ii is expected that all who are interested
in the pastime will attend, whether canoe own
ers or not.
Mr. F. n. Moore of the State department,
started Thursday night. in his 3S-pOund canoe
for cruise down TO salt water. He will return
in time for the meeting Monday night, and re-
port his log" OF the voyage.

ReeCher's Luxurious Habits.

Mr.. Beecher has directed his manager, Mr..
Pond, to book an extensive lecturing tour tor
next year. Mr.. Beeehers salary is $40, 900 per
annum. He manages to receive double this
sum from his lectures and large additional
sum from his pen. He is not rich, however.
He keeps open house with his son. with whom
he resides), and gives. loans, indOrses and does
other un-businesslike things constantly at a
heavy cost to his treasury. 1t is said that be-
yond his farm at Peekskill, the house and stock
thereon, and his library and bric-a-brac there
and at Brooklyn, the great word-painter has
nothing to show for his large income for each of
very many years. His library is so large that 1t
Is now being catalogued with view to soon
making sale therefrom. He has expended. 1t
Is estimated, $4,000 in books and as many
more have been given him by publishers. His
house at Peekskill. built not long since Mr.
Beecher says has cost him $4,000 Others
who watch business matters closer and are
familiar with its growth say that SIC. coo would
be nearer the correct truth. His COWS are all
Attorneys, and the herd is believed to be worth
$4,000 to S1800O. His farm and its manner of
running and open hospitality are enough in
itself to absorb large income 1t is vet some
what encountered. His collection of bric-a
6rac would make a large and valuable museum.

thing peantlful In shape or color-find a wor-

The fisherman carefully sorted out the living

good, passed up his saucer for more He had

MOnitOry Verses.
Wvi4ta,,


Written for THE EVENING STAR
When the hand-organs voice In the balmy spring air
Sends thrill from your toes to the roots OF your hair;
o, let it invade not the shrine OF your soul
Be hero and sweetly forget 1t Is there.
When your bibulous habits begin to bear fruits
And the tremor Of drink through you frequently
shoots,
And the cats voice at night seems Stygian wail,
Throw the brick in your hat at the snakes In your
boots.
While you look through q spy-glass in search OF a
chance,
At expense OF your neighbor your wealth to en-
nance,
Don't darken your eyes when there's danger, you
think,
That some generous action may weaken your glance
Yield not to the sway OF the back biting mood;
Be calm when your actions are misunderstood;
Be your anger too sluggish to overtake lore;
Be gentle, be honest, be manly, be good.

THAT GRAND old Democrat, Ho-
ratio Seymour, has been "inter-
viewed" regarding the party policy.
and has expressed his opinion az to
the best man to be nominated for
President. The old man shows that
he yet retains the use of his mental
faculties, and that his wisdom and
judgment are as sound as in the
days when he stood at the head of
the great party OF the people. Gov
ernor Seymour declares that Mr..
Tilden should be nominated. and be
very shrewdly disposes of the non.
sensical talk about your Uncle
Sammy's physical infrmities. Wise
Democrats everywhere are drawing
towards Tilden, and if there shall

President will be Democrat and

THE NATIONAL House of Repre-

striking out the enacting clause Of
the bonded extension bill. The bill
was in the interest of the whisky
dealers, and II it had become law
would have been equivalent to
giving them many millions of dol
lars, in that it would have allowed
them to keep their whisky in bond
three years longer without the pay
ment of the tax. In view Of the

Beadle did, aud yet her husband
was not happy, for ten days later
he Informed bis wife that
it was useless for them to
try to live together, for he loved the
other woman, and he offered to
bring to his wife a friend with whom
she could live. Mr1. Beadle finally
consented to the arrangement, but
in . few weeks her conscience told
her she was acting improperly" and
she abandoned her quasi husband.
She brought suit for support from
Beadle, and in his answer he set up
the claim of inidelity on her part,
but the Judge refused to eatertain
the plea. Bsadle then refused to
support his wife, and last week was
sent to Jail. All this happened In
New York. Beadle's publications
