WASHINGTON, D. c., April 10.-The
following is told as one OF the incidents
at the White House to-day: A Western
Democratic Senator called to press the
appointment of one Of his constituents
to an Assistant Commissionership.
S'When was practieing law" said the
President, II found that an Instrument
in writing usually outweighed an oral
statement. You Senators seem to have
a habit of signing petitions for candi-
dates, and then you ask verbally for the
appointment of others to the very posi-
tions. can't afford to waste time con-
sidering such requests. HALF the DEM
Ocratic Senators have signed a petition
for the retention of the incumbent OF
this place, and your name is on the list.
I don't know the man, but he is certain
" well indOrsed." "Oh, noW said the
Senator; 81 have not signed such pa
per" Thereupon the President is said
to have produced a petition bearing the
Senator's signature, as stated. "Inever
was SO fattened out in my life" re-
marked the Senator when narrating the
incident to friend; "the fact is we
sign almost anything, but it has gener-
ally been understood that it means
nothing

We rode at least mile and a half
past the line of tents, and must have
seen $4,000 men. The ground is pret-
tily accidcnte, and altogether well suited
for camp purposes. At the end we
came upon the Guard regiments and
the Preobraionsky Regiment, with
whom finished the inspections; and here
were assembled all the bands and
drums, to the number of 800, in one
compact mass facing the Emprcss's
pavilion or tent, at the door Of which
she and her ladies alighted, and were
joined by the Emperor and Grand
Dukes. We all dismOunted and came
inside the square, Of which the royalty
and staff formed one side, the musicians
the opposite side, the other two sides
being composed of officers of the var
ious corps who had hurried to the spot.
In the center, on mound, stood the
conductor of the united bands Of music,
and near him one drummer-bOy, (or
perhaps a lad Of 2O.) We (he foreign
missions) stood in line, and the Emper-
or came down from the pavilion and
spoke to each of the Generals, He was
very gracious to me, and inquired about
my service and the commands l had
held. This over, he stood alone in the
center. and detachment of Sergeants
in full marching order passed him one
by one, each Sergeant giving the eve
ming report Of his picket and of the
usual ''watch-setting" in loud voice,
the Car thus fulfilling for the moment
the role Of camp commandant. We
Generals only were then taken up,
one by one, to the Empress, who talked
to me about the Princess of Wales,
Cowcs, Osborne, &c, and was alto
gethcr gracious and charming. Then
tea was handed round, and the crowd
Of officers and of the troops generally
kept closing round the square as the
hour for 1.-THE retreat" or Zaira, drew
nigh. Meanwhile heavy clouds had
gathered in the horizon, and storm
seemed TO threaten US, though the view
down the slope and over 'the valley to
.krasnoe, distant about mile, was not
rendered less beautiful by the combi-
nation Of waning sunlight and threat
cning clouds. Eight o'clock sounds;
each field battery fires an evening gun,
three rockets shoot into the air, and the
drums and bands roll out, with "A sol
emnty and volume Of sound not easily
forgotten, the evening hymn. As the
last notes die of, the drummer boy
steps forward, the bundmaster de-
scends, and the little drummer, sole oc-
cupant of the square, repeats slowly
but with perfect distinctness the Lord 5
Prayer Every head is uncovered and
bows, from the Emperor to the further
most spectator; and ! should from my
heart pity the man who, as the little
lad S amen went up in its solitary
simplicity, could scot at or even be un-
impressed by the silence which follow
ed. There was total absence of all
eXaggcration or straining for increased
effect. The bands then hurst forth
with the Russian national air, SO well
known to all of US, and the scene
closed as night fell,-Lteat- GEN. Ing

Fighting, Ancient and Modern.

The only difference between ancient
and modern armies is the application
of steam, gunpowder and dynamite
very great one in appearance, but
not so much in reality. Modern ar
mics do not need to be SO large in the
field AS ancient armies yet it is very qucs-
tionable whether fewer people are re-
quired for an effective war in modern
times than that of old. The men who
make the powder and dynamite and
the girls who fill the cartridges are
quite us much part and parcel of u
modern army AS the soldiers who ire
them of, and run pretty nearly similar
risks. The methods of modern war
fare are exactly the same as of ancient

a Delightful Reunion.

The animal reunion and picnic of the
Pastors Conference and Wittenberg faculty,
with their families, took place yesterday on
the beautiful Wi,teuberg campus, and was the
most largely attended, and, upon the whole,
the most enjoyable yet held No one, we are
sure, could be present at one OF these gather
ings and doubt the genuineness and hearth
ness OF the friendship which binds together
in Christian brotherhood those who differ
widely on many theological points. 1t 10, iu-
deed, one OF the happy results OF the broader
culture OF modern times that religious leaders
and teachers are more than ever disposed TO
magnify points Of agreement, and make less
account of the far less important points OF
difference. We venture to say, at least,
and We rejoice in the fact, that
is there better feeling among the various
denominations OF Christians or their pastors
Yesterday was perfect day. The remark
was frequently heard on the ground that the
weather could not have been finer il il had
been made on purpose for the occasion. The
Wittenberg people were unremitting in their
efforts, as hosts, to make the day one Of COM
ple,e social enjoyment, and so well did they
succeed tina, it is probable the reunions will
hereafter all be held at the same place.
The dinner was sumptuous-such
spread, in fact, we have seldom if
ever seen at picnic. 1t looked
at first as il the quantity must be greatly in
excess of the capacity of the crowd, but as
everybody seemed to have a special appetite
for the occasion it was found, after all, that
the great law of supply and demand had not
been seriously disturbed.
Space will not permit US to speak at length
Of the quoit pitching, croquet playing, and
other amusemens, which occupied much OF
the day. Simple justice, however, would
seem to require the remark that better work,
in that line, was probably never done by
company OF amateurs.
Among the company we noticed Dr. and
Mrs. Or', Prot. and Mrs. Ehrenfeld, DR.. AMI
Mrs. W. II. Webb, Prof. and Mrs. Brecken-
ridge, Prot and Mrs. Prince, Prot. and Mrs.
Hoskinson, Dr. and Mrs. A. b. Leonard, DR..
and Mrs. J. +. Marlay, Rev. and Mrs. A. l..
Wilkinson, Rev. aud Mrs. W. II. Warren, Rev.

7. Rose, Mrs. Ruth A. Worthington, Rev. DR..
Schaiier, Rev. Mr.. Fay, Mrs. Sanderson, Rev.
and Mrs. D.lo, and a large number of young
people and children.
Two well known lay citizens who have a
reputation for QUOT pitching s,rolled over to
the grounds IN the afternoon, expecting, no
doubt, to carry OFT the honors in that manly
exercise. 1t is safe to say that they went
home, If not sadder, at least wiser men.

Midnight Blaze.

The fire department. wus called out at HAS
last night by an alarm from box 45, to J. d.
Snivelys residence, at No. 90 North Yellow
Springs street, property OF Squire Goodfellow.
The blaze had started from IL defective tiue
in the summer kitchen, in the rear of the
house. As soon as it was discovered Lou
Bradley ran to turn in the alarm, and the
family and neighbors began to work with
buckets, almost completely eItinguishing the
blaze in the short time that it took the de-
partment to arrive on the ground. The roof
OF the wooden structure WIS destroyed, but
no further damage was done. The loss will
probably aggregate $25.

Action by Second English Lutheran
Church Council.

The result OF the meeting, last evening, Of
the Second Lutheran church council, to con-
slder the matter of scandaous charges pub
lished against their pastor, was decision IN
effect that the affairs and work of the church
should move along precisely as though no
such charges had been made; doing or saying
nothing to pre- judge the case one way or the
other or to influence public opinion at pres
ent A verbal motion, made by Mr.. George
Startzman, was adopted expressing sympathy
tor the pastor in the present trouble and
promising the support OF the council and
church in any steps taken to investigate and
remove the charges. Also advising that he
should continue in the exercise OF his duties
as pastor, as usual.
Rev. Mr.. Wagner was present, positively
asserted his IL ocence OF the charges and his
ability and intention to prove the same,
which he has taken the proper steps to dc.
tie offered to vacste the pulpit pending this
investigation, If ii was thought best or de-
sired he should do so. One or two approved
of this plan as saving the pastor some embar-
rassment, possibly, but, on the other hand, it
WAS considered such withdrawal might be
taken by some MS a partial admission and the
action above indicated was taken unanimous
ly, that there be no change in any way. Ar
rangements having already been made Tor
special children's service, there will be no

and by the arrangement made weeks ago Tor

The Jomrnat Of haedriety thinks that
the cumulative action of alcohol on
the brain centers exists to Il greater ex-
tent than is generally supposed. Many
men who drink regularly through the
day and seem no worse for it become
intoxicated late At night, although they
have not used spirits during the eve
ming. at appears, says the editor,
'that alcohol, like bromide, may re-
main in the system to some extent
without producing any marked action,
and then suddenly, from some unknown
cause, burst into great activity, pro-
ducinG profound intoXication." The
reasons Tor this do not seem to be dciin-
itely understood, though they are
thought to be of a combined physiolog-
ical and psychological nature, and
party due to climatic conditions.
