WHY NOT OPEN THE BOTANICAL
GARDEN ON SUNDAY?

The question of opening the public Ii
braries and museums of Washington on
Sunday has long been agitated in spas
modic sort of way, but apparently with
out making any impression on the exist
ing order of things. Public sentiment ap.
pears to be against the innovation, for
reasons which are too well known to need
repeating.
The same objections, however, certainly
do not obtain in the case of the Botanical
Garden. We cannot conceive of any
reason why that handsome inclosure
should be inhibited to public access on
Sundays any more than the parks or reser-
vations. If the conservatories were closed,
it is highly improbable that the property
would receive the slightest detriment by
reason of the tired mothers and nurse
girls and little children, who would con-
stitutc the great proportion of its visitors.
A resort of this character during the
sunny days and sultry evenings of the
heated term is greatly needed in that part
of the city, and all that would be required
to adapt it to the proposed good use is the
introduction of few benches on which to
sit.
Lords Day to make these charming
grounds of beneficial service to class of
people who seldom, if ever, from one sea-
sons end to another, find time to stroll
within its gates and escape for a few short
hours from the weary tread-mill of labor
The first garden of which any mention
is made in the worlds history exceled in
beauty of fruitage and foliage and land.
scape what never the fairest dreams of
Arcadia approached. There were trees
there that wooed with perennial shade
rivers that refreshed the thirsty and then
sang them to sleep with their music;
many-hued flowers that filled all the air
with captivating odors and grassy swards
that stretched like emerald seas mid
island groves to break against the golden
shores of Paradise. Yet even these elysian
fields were never closed. There was no
barring of gates or turning of bolts on
Saturday nights. If our respected pro-
genitois had strictly complied with the
regulations of the establishment and never
ceased to do well nor learned to do evil
the bloom of Eden had not faded norevc
its doors been shut.
But great atonement has since been
wrought, and why should we still inscribe
the legend ofa primal curse above the gates
of our lesser Edens and keep angels with
flaming swords at their entrance-ways,
lest the stiffness of the Sabbath within
their iron palings should be broken by the
innocent prattle of babes or desecrated by
the tread of the sons and daughters of toll?

THEIR SATURDAYS OFF.

The President and the members of his
Cabinet having concluded to "talle
Saturday Off every week. they are conse-
Quently inaccessible to the general pub
lie to-day, and the presumption is that
they have gone into Il twenty-four hours
retreat for devotion to matters of business
which could not well be considered or
disposed of in the midst of jam of visit
Ors.
No fault will be found with this action
of the Administration if our presumption
is correcteSt ..Ss!ense amount ofwork
is o,NeN -, pr pre6En On its hands and keeps
COMING in every time the doors are opened
which it were physically impossible to
wade through without occasional OPP
portunities for private conferences and
examinations. 1t is all right that the
President and his executive associates
should have some little time to themselves,
and one secular and one religious day out
of the seven are none too much.
There is a sort of suspicion abroad, how
ever, that there is some "shenanigan"
about this Saturday closing movement,
and that while the great crowd of patri.
ots, hungering and thirsting to serve their
country, is confronted with the forbidding
sign of mo admission" on the front door
and turned disconsolately away there are
backyard and side-alley entrances by
which the habitual customers of the De-
Iartments have no trouble in getting in.
We are inclined to think that thisisa a base
calumny; and that the rule is not only in
tended to be peremptory but universal
an entire suspension, as it were, of the
dead-head list-and designed to expedite
the public business.
But it is long wait from Friday night
10 Monday morning, and the man whose
hope deferred has already made his heart
sick, is in danger of being made good
deal sicSer before his suspense is over.
Therefore if the Administration duly ap.
preciates the sanitary needs of the situa-
ton it will make the most diligent posi-
BILE use of its Saturdays off TO do up its
unfinished business and relieve at least a
portion of the solicitude with which the
great heart of the Democratic party is
bowed down.

READ CAREFULLY.

We are now building an extension of Box
III feet to our already magnificent establish
ment, which, when finished, will give us the
finest Show Rooms in the United States. We
have the finest Electric Light in the country,
making at night our entire building as bright
as the finest day in sunlight. No heat of gas,
or from the engine running the Electric Light,
as one would imagine, because the store is
cooled by IL large Patent fans, distributed
throughout the building, making breeze
equal to that felt on one of our steamers while
sailing against the wind on the Potomac. All
of this is worth seeing, and you are cordially
invited to come and enjoy the breeze, whether
or no you wish to purchase. We have come to
the conclusion that we have more goods and
less money than we want to carry out our new
enterprise of running our building through to
Eighth street. We shall open this new ad-
dition, with new goods only We shall com
mence to run off our present stock, without
regard to cost. our assortment Is large, much
larger than necessary to carry. We will, must
and shall sell. Call and be convinced that IL
is a pleasure to deal with LANSBURGH &
BRO. No Misrepresentation are made, Every
article is guaranteed as represented or money
refunded.

VIOLET.

Thy breath is sweeter than the air
That steals from flowers all the dewy wet;
And sweeter than the ripest pear
Thou pouting lips, sweet Violet.
Thy mien Is modest as the eve
With but a single star-beam set,
When unseen fingers deftly weave
Her robe of night, my Violet.
Thy spirit, snless as the dove,
Still smrinks at wrong nor can forget
Mid earthly guile its birth above:
Thy life Is love, dear Violet.
Thou'rt like that fair and fragrant flower
That on the brow of Spring Il set
To deck the young years gayest hour,
Sweet modest, sinless Violet,
