CHILDREN MADE HAPPY.
The Annual Dinner of the Georgetown
Christmas Club.

SiuDs
Four hundred and forty-seven hungry,
impatient little children, from three TO
thirteen years old, stood waving tickets of
admission to the dinner of the West Wash
ington Christmas Club at the Curtis School
building to-day, at least two hours before
the doors were opened. The boys shouted
and guyed the police and everyone that
passed, but in spite Of it, the police were
kind and considerate. They seemed bent
on doing their share to make this one day
at least to be remembered by the little ones
as day of happiness.
Promptly at ! O'Clock the doors were
opened and the children ushered into the
two large rooms, where the tables were set.
In each room were four tabl es loaded with
turkey and cranberry sauce, nuts, cakes,
rnisins aud fruit. Rev. Drs. Edwards and
Lindsay asked the Divine blessing, and then
Mr.. Janney gave the children permission to
"fall to" and make short work of the good
dinner They were not backward at ali;
their "party manners had been left at
home. and all they seemed to think Of was
the inner man, or rather the inner girl or
boy.
When they had finished dinner they were
marched upstairs to the large hall, on the
stage Of which was pretty Christmas tree
and bevy of pretty girls to give the pres
ents to the children. Mr.. Janney called
them to order and made few remarks, af-
ter which the orchestra struck an air from
the "Mikado," and the children filed past
the stage, received their present and went
home as happy as only children can be.

Speaking of the Cosmos Club aud
some of its members, the Washington
correspondent of the New York
Tribune says: DR.. J. S. Billings, the
president of the club, and editor of the
great Index Catalogue of the Army
Medical Library, work Of stupendous
proportions, is Titan, standing at
least six feet two in his boots, with
limbs and head to fit such a trunk.
The average height of the members of
the Cosmos, by the way, seems to sur.
pass that of most clubs, point which
some of the learned members can
doubtless account for on scientific
principles. DR.. Gallaudct, president
of the Deaf Mute College, is a notice.

some resemblance to the pictures seen
40 years ago of the late Louis Napoleon.

Among the years that slumber in the past,

While vainlke visions haunt me TO the

When dear bright beauties beamed upon

And every treasure brought double pleasure
Before lost my loving child and wife.
