You go into the market to-day and see how

can't get one. Not a solitary one; you can't
even get tomorrow morning for it, But if
you have tomorrow that you want to
put on the market you might get a whole

put through the usual formula, and finally
the ccnsuser asked the age Of his wife,
Cant tell, " responded the husband.
Cant tell?" echoed the questioner,
"Why? Don't you know"
"Of course do"
"Then you must tell me. The law says
you must"
'The law? What law"
"The law of the State"
what will they do with me if | don't
tel?"
"Put you in Jail for contempt"
"All right, put me in Jail"
"Why, man." exclaimed the astonished
official, you won't go to jail and suffer
rather than tell your wife's age, will you"
"Well, yes" he said resignedly; "Pye

did tell my wife's age"

Washed his Hands ia Champagne.

At Dussaux's restaurant, in the Grand
Morskoi at st. Petersburg, six officers Of
the imperial horse guards sat drinking
champagne. Not far from them sat an in
significant little man with a shabby coat
and an unkempt beard, and glass Of liq-
uor in front of him. 1t was not long before
he became aware that he was being ridiculed
by the officers aforesaid. BY and by, as
they became more and more offensive in
their remarks on his personal appearance,
ETC., he called for the waiter and said:
Bring me six bottles of your best cham
pagne." The waiter brought the wine and
six glasses. Take these glasses away and
fetch a basin-one as large as you can find"
The waiter again hesitated, but obeyed in
stantly at the peremptory repetition of the
order. "A piece of soap" was the next or
der. 1t was brought. a towel" The
waiter handed him one. "Now, open the
bottles" The waiter did so. The little
man now filled the basin with the contents
Of the six bottles, rolled up his sleeves,
washed himself in the costly fluid, wiped
his hands, laid hundred-rouble note on
the table, and. casting look of withering
contempt on the officers, strutted out of the
room

Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Affairs

Senator Bowlus's Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal joint special committee had another
meeting this week at the canal Office. MIR.
John p, Poe was before the committee on the
question of canal finances. The matter oi
first Importance is the settlement with holders
of the preferred bonds of1S64. Theintention
is TO scale the bonds at per cent. interest,
which would reduce that indebtedness to about
a million dollars, and the interest to $50, 600.
Then the repair bonds would be provided for,
aud in addition the State, which is the major
ity stakeholder, would get some $50, 900 year
for its treasury. Should these knotty points
be agreed upon between the parties, an act "a
amend the canal charter and to lease the pro.
perty would be proposed 1t is understood
that parties are prepared to offer terms for
the lease of the canal for term of years
not more than thirty years-which would have
in its scope the maintenance of the canal as a
waterway by transportation company. This
might, and no doubt would, result in the
building of a railroad from the coal regions
to Wiliamsport, and the operation OF both
railroad and canal, as is done by the Reading
Railroad on the Pennsylvania Canal. The
railroad terminus on the canal would be al
Wiiiiamspozt, where connection with the
Western Maryland Railroad and Baltimore
would insure competing coal line. The
transhipment point for Alexandria would be
at Williamsport, and from there by canal.
There is steady trade for about 800, 600 tons
of Cumberland coal at Alexandria, and this
business would insure the successful opera
ton Of that SECTION of the canal. The effort
is now 10 arrive at some agreement that will
warrant the Introduction of an act to reach
the conclusions hoped for, and for this the
special committee was named,

Christopher Columbus to have Monumental
Worlds Fair for Washington-Ex-Con-

Correspondence OF 'ne pem 1S A 1n Zoo ,aoc
WASHINGTON, march ~ iooo'
The Senate has passed joint resolution
setting apart forever the circle at the Penn
sylvania entrance to the Capitol as site for q
statue of Christopher Columbus. The Mary
land avenue entrance is to have statue to
Lafayette The Peace Monument, which &C.
cupies the former position, is to be moved to
the corner of Connecticut avenue and Twenl
tieth street. The resolution also appoints a
commission to select site for the proposed
statue to Garfield.
A largely attended meeting was held at
Willard Hall on he 25th ult., to take initia-
tory steps toward Worlds Fair, to be held
here in 1892, to commemorate the four hun
dreth anniversary OF the discovery OF America
by Christopher columbus. new !ork, Uni
cage, and the City OF Mexico have had similar
meetings, with view of securing the Exhibl,
ton. Many good reasons were given at the
meeting at Willard Hall why the fair should
be held in this city, and among them is, that
Washington is the Capital of the country dis
covered, is near to Mt. Vernon, has ample
ground for the purpose of an exposition, and
delightful and mild climate; is favorite re-
sort for tourists, near the centers of popula-
ton, &c. Committees were appointed, who
have been active since in the interest of
Washington, as the place for the celebration.
Recently fine large building has been
erected in this city for the purpose of exhibit
ing scenes from the late war, much after the
manner that the Siege of Paris was given in
Philadelphia during the Centennial Exhibi-
ton. Among the battles proposed to be rep
resented is that of the first fought at Bull
Run, which resulted in disastrous defeat of
the federal army. The proposed exhibition

There is an Urgency Deficiency bill in the
United States Senate, and one of the items is
an appropriation of $4,000 for the funeral
expenses of General Grant. Such an item
should not be there. While the people are
overtaxed and trade and agriculture are de-
pressed, such drains upon the treasury is an
outrage. Such sum, under any circum-
stances, is exorbitant. Gen. Grants funeral
was nothing more nor less than vain show.
No one can object to prominent and would be
prominent men exhibiting themselves in pub
lie, but they should foot the bills themselves.
1t was proper that, owing to the distinguished
position he held, that Gen. Grant should be
shown the respect due, but no grand parade
should have been gotten up at the public ex-
pense The bill will pass, however, with the
item in it. Men who know the expense is
unwarranted will vote for it, because they
think a negative vote will detract from their
popularity.
