REVERSING THINGs.-The Washington
correspondent OF the Baltimore Sun says:
"Mr Trounley, of Alexandria, Midland
Railway employee paid visit to Washing
ton on March 4. and was, in his efforts to get
to the cars and return to his home, nearly
pressed 10 death in the crowds. On taking
off his overcoat at home he found in his
pocket strange pocket book, which con-
tanned no money. but some $4,000 in notes
of hand due one John Evans, He deposited
the pocket book and contents in the hands
of the Mayor Of Alexandria, and the
owner will doubtless be found. 1t is sup
posed pick tocket took the book from Mr..
Evans, distracted the money, and finding
no opportunity to throw away the book and
papers, slipped them into Mr.. Trounley's
pocket.
The Mayor still holds the pocket book,
and will deliver it to the owner as soon as
called for.

entities him to front seat among the demo-
cratic spectators at Washington to-day. Be
ing an old Alexandrian, and not unfamiliar
with the great men of the nation, he will be
somewhat lat home'' in Washington, and

ties now are that the coming election will

ing crow ded with those who came to see the
places of interest here. Christ Church
seemed To be the centre of attraction and
that edifice was crowded at the morning
services. Rev John H. Howard, the new
pastor of Trinity Methodist Church, preach

ycnng man and made good impression on
his congregation. He comes 10 this city

Sailing of the MurIpOsa.

The sailing of the Mariposa for San
Francisco to-day is unavoidably post
poned until 2 o'clock p. m. This de-
tention is rendered necessary owing to
the state of the tide, which will be at
dead low water at noon. The MaripOsa
and her sister ship, the Alameda, always
carry full cargoes, and want every inch Of
water available to float them out Of port
1t would, therefore, be impossible to sail
at the old-established hour to-day. This
explanation is all the more necessary in
asmuch as the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany justly prides itself upon its perfect
system and punctuality. The delay, how
ever, will be of advantage to those lag
CARDS who always bring up the rear Of the
"nearly late" letter writing brigade.
They may loiter till high noon and yet
"catch the mail" And passengers, es-
pecially ladies, have two hours additional
to dispose of in visiting or shopping.

Disastrous Hop Sale.

The hop growers around Lebanon, think
ing that better price could be obtained by
shipping to New York, forwarded their
hops to that market. After holding for
some time, it was found necessary to sell,
as the bales were beginning to spoil on ac-
count OF not being properly dried. Out of
10000 pounds DIR. Alexander realized $3.50
over the freight and commission, leaving
him near $1,000 out for picking and other
expenses. E. Kubler received $225 for 10,
600 pounds, leaving him behind some $500.
So with the others. All these hop raisers
could have engaged their hops at 25 cents
per pound before they were picked, but
they neld for higher price and got almost
nothing, Had the hops been sold at the
first of the season, it wonld have brought at
least $25, 900 to that community. As it is,
it will hardly bring $1,000 all told.
