afternoon John Dorman, who keeps store
at Quantico wharf, made up bill of goods
to be shipped by the steamer Kent to Mt.
Vernon. He sent the goods to the steam
boat wharf, but they were not taken on
board, Mr.. Dorman having neglected to
send along manifest. Some time after the
steamer left Mr.. Dorman thought OF
the goods and then remembered
having neglected to send a manifest.
He went to the wharf and found his
property gone. The staple had been drawn
from the door of his warehouse on the
wharf and some goods also taken from that
place. About this time he noticed small
canoe or cat-boat getting under way across
the river, and hailed Captain James Sum-
mers and told him to bring his boat over.
| The captain refused to come and hastily
| hoisted all his sails, and, under u strong

the Chronicle, "are discharged without
cause, cases are decided for considera-
tisn or by reason of influence, and the
honest but poor man has to retire
from court without receiving jus

There are people, many of whom are
undoubtedly sincere, who talk foolishly
and ignorantly about the time which col
lege students give TO athletic sports. As
in the life of every one it is the cases Of
recreation rather than the desert of
drudgery which form fayorite topics, 80
as a rule the world outside of the leading
colleges hears much less about the toll
some days, nights, weeks and months of
hard work of the average student
than about the pranks of a
few frivolous ones or occasional
athletic contests on land and water.
One of the great lessons which the world
is learning more and more every day,
particularly in the midst of the intensity
of nineteenth century life, is that what
ever persons occupation, be it active
or sedentary, there must be oounteractine
exercise. The brain worker must go out
in the fresh air and exercise his muscles
and the physically active man must give
himself mental work. Whatever may bt
the nature of his vocation, the revers'
must be the essential element of his
ayocation. The idea of former days tina
man must be entirely one thing o.
the other is beginning to be givei
its true value and to be relegate'
to the realm Of old fogyism. More ant
more are all recognizing that the com
, plete man or woman must be develope,
. both mentally and physically, and that
= is folly to speak about one as being bette
than the other. The interest that is be

The Congressional mountain has labored
for weeks with the silver coinage problem
and has brought forth-nothing. The
majority of our lawmakers have evidently
come to the conclusion that it is better to
bear the ills we have than fly to others
that we know not of. Considering how
great the harm they might have done,
there is matter for congratulation in their
resolve to do nothing. 1t does seem very
strange that there should be any differ
enoe of opinion in regard to the advisa-
bility of disseminating the coinage
of ssilver until the surplus mil.
lions of alleged dollars stacked
up in the vaults of the
sub-treasury begin to dribble into cir
culation. The merchant who with {

away should resolve to go on for an indie

valuable Painting pe.troyed.

The fire which broke out Thursday
morning in the Academy of Fine Arts,
Philadelphia, was very destructive.
Thirty.six valuable paintings were COM
pletely destroyed, and nine were damaged.
The loss on the paintings is supposed to
be about $685. 900 and the building was
damaged to the extent of $4,000 Proba-
bly, the most valuable picture that fell a
prey to the flames was the portrait of st.
Sebastian, supposed to be by Murillo,
and belonging to the estate of John
Fallon. It was originally the property
of Queen Isabella of Spain. It was by
many considered to be worth $50, 600. Il.
Alexander Harrison's ''Bord de Mer," O
very large painting, valued at 50, 900, was
also completely destroyed.

of General Grant on Decoration Day,
which was originally granted to U. s,
Grant Post, No. 1927, G.. A. r., of Brook
Ign, bids fair to be participated in by
grand army posts all over the country.
The department commanders of Massa-
chusetts, Pennsylvania and New York are
to be present, and the posts in other
states will be represented by floral
tributes, if not personally. Post II. e.
Lee, of Richmond, Va, will send an
offering of flowers; and South Carolina,
not having palms, will contribute pal
mettoes. It is expected that 100000
people will attend the services at River
side, which are to be held in the after
noon, so as not to conflict with the
parade. Gen. Logan will be the orator
of the day. The Rev. DIR. Storrs Of
Brooklyn will deliver the prayer, and
there will be singing by the Amphior
Musical Society. The Seventy-irst regi
ment and the First Battery, Nationa
Guard, will fire salutes over the grave
and minute guns will be fred by United
