SUNDAY SERVICES AT THE CAPITOL.
How tn" S ab3itth is Observed Among the

How the sabbath is Observed Among the
Public Men in Washington.
From the beginning of the govern
mcnt down to the lime Of the war,
says the New York Uerald'S Washing
ton correspondent, there always was II
Sunday religious service at the capitol.
The House of Representative " was con
sidcrcd n national church. The down.
fall of this custom dates from the
introduction of politics into religion.
Prior to that hour the chaplains had
been chosen by a joint resolution of
the Senate and House, and neither
took final action until the other had
agreed upon its nominee. Then the
service in each hous. was held by the
chaplains alternately. But with the
era of the war rose n theory that the
chaplain must belong to a certain
party. AS m party was decidedly in
the majority, that simply meant that
the chaplain must be n Republican.
In time il came about that n caucus
was held Gas is now done) to agree
upon a representative of the Deity.
II custom was obnoxious to go many

the choice of its dispenser was made.
The next step was to choose the chap
ln!ns from the city pastors. This was
the death kncll to a national place of
worship. Anxiety to draw large audi
cnccs to their city churches prevented
the preachers from going to the House
of Representatives TO deliver n crmon

Picrcc's administrations. Tie Scna-
tors, Congressman and Justices OF the
Supreme Court were largely repre-

in the old Hall of Representatives.
John Quincy Adams was regularly in
his place. The services were always

Lost Legs and Arms--.A Queer Bill.

A Washington letter says: IN bOdy
here will speak seriously of the bill
introduced by Col. Frank WoIford, of
Kentucky, to grant artificial legs and
arms to Confederate soldiers and sail
ors, or their equivalent in money. It
is considered by Democrats from both
North aud South as the idle diversion
or vagary Of an eccentric man. Colonel
Wolford has many personal friends
who admire him for his simplicity
manhood and fine war record, but
there is not a Democrat in Congress
who does not think he made n bad
break in Introducing this bill. This
act on the part of The gallant Kentucky
Colonel has subj ctcd him to no end
Of disagreeHble discussion. The dis
cussion created by The act, however, is

Nobody, ven Colonel w. himself,
imagines for q moment that the bill
will stand any show i'm the House. 1t
will probably never see light again.
Nevertheless, the Republicans will
seize upon the bill and include 1t in
their campaign documents as o typical
Democratic measure, looking to the
granting of pensions to all Southern
soldiers and sailors. Colonel Wolford's
folly is a windfall TO tho opposition,
and it Is chiefly in this regard that
members regret the intro

Money for the Hendricks Monament.

John Holman, of Indiana, who has
been engaged in organizing the ageu-
cies for the collection of the Hendricks
monument fund, reports very tavora"
bic news from all quarters. The
original idea. he saws, was to try and
raise q fund Of 800, 900. To accom-
plish this ten thousand agencies were
established and an average of Ten dol
lars each was desired. The contribu-
tons were to be rs small as people
w""'nd to give. The time set for the re-
por. rs the first of April, and quite n
number OF reports have already been
received from small agencies Of from
$l2 to Sl5. About $4,000 will. be the
result in Washington aud perhaps as
much from Philadelphia and twice as
much from New York. On the basis
of present returns the fund will be up
wards of $3.50, 600.

The Broadway Bribery,

Ex~Alderman Chas. B. Waite, of
New York, has been arrested on
charges connected with the alleged
bribery in the case of the Broadway
Surface Railroad. District Attorney
MARITIME stoutly denies that ex-Alder-
man Waite was arrested, but says he
is his guest and shall not be worried
by reporters. The arrest of Mayor
w. p. Kirk has given people at clubs
and hotels fresh material for gossip
and speculation. In oil quarters where
men gather there is hush like that be-
fore an expected thunder storm. Much
interest was developed as to what the
other franchise aldermen would say Of
recent developments.

correspondent says that the President
docs not use the White House contin-
gent fund for any expenses whatever
that may be construed as personal,
The Office expenses are paid out of it.
General Grant paid for nearly every
thing ont of his salary, holding tho
contingent fund, except for clerical
work and a few other expenses, as
sacred. Mr.. Lincoln seldom drew
upon this fund except for tho most
common expenses of tho office. 1t Is
said that MI. Haynes lived almost
entirely IL of the fund, and retired
from the office with his 5000, 900 SAL

ST. Louis, April 13.-The national executive
