stioas il ink-written speeches, etc, not
10 mention the bIunders made by
ignorant typewriters, who know but
little of. and care less, for the matter
they are copying-these are some of
the causes OF error. But it is safe 20
say that for every error permitted to
get into the Record a dozen authors
errors are rectifed. No credit is ever
given in such cases; it is taken as
matter of course. If an error is made
in the ordinary printing of speech it is
not to be wondered at. because errors
are made wherever printing is done,
and on such occasions if a member
moves to correct the Record, he is
justified in so doing; but when. as hap
pened recently, a member has proof
of his speech, makes corrections in it,
and it is corrected as he marked it, and
he criticizes the printers for having
printed 1t exactly as he marked it, we
feel like rising in our places 10 express
our contempS Tor such conduct"
kvER-CHANGING FASHION,
which affects no city more than it DOES
Washington, has again turned to
eques trian;sm as a means of amuse-
ment until it shall be time for its
Voraries 10 leave for the mountain and
the seashore. A stranger peram bula;-
ing through the fashionable quarter of
Washington would certainly notice the
large humber OF ladies ara gentlemen
who take their exercise on horseback. :
Attaches of foreign legations are re-
sponsible for much of this healthy re
form, but the EXAMPLE has been long |
and persistently set by a few !
gentlemen Of the old school who |
were fully aware of the beneficial |
effects attendant upon an iuviqora!ing |
ride. The venerable George Bancroft |
never failed to take a two hours ride
every day until feeble nature refused to
stand the eLertioD. healthful as it was.
Ainsworth r. Spoford. the librarian to
Congress, mounts bis chestuut-hued
steed every afternoon, unless it should
be raining very heavily, and remains IN
the saddle foT two or three hours A j
number of others in public life have i
become enamored of the exercise, and,
as result, they are looking better and
feeling more vigorous than they have
for years past. One Of the most strik-
ing of the combinations of man and
horse seen upon the streets of the cap
ital is the one controlled by Senator
Charles +. Henderson, CT Nebraska.
On three or four afternoons in the week
he Senator may be seen, Attn ed in a
dark suit and tall white hat, astrlde
OF a cream-co.oTed horse. The animal
is a very stylish one, and its siiYery
name ana tail give it a high-grade az
pearance which belongeth not to t! g |
average saddle horse.
Equestrian picnic parties have |
been very popular here during the
past few weeks, and within The last day |
or two have been quite numerous. !
Three or four young ladies snd as many !
young gentlemen, all on horseback, are
prerequisites. They meet at the house
of one of the ladies and then start for !,
some shady glen in Maryland, or canter
along the south bank OF the Potomac
until they reach a spot where Dayton
wagon, laden with edible and drinkable |
dellcacies, and in charge of a coach
man and footman, has been waiting for
>ome time 1t is very pleasant way in
which to spend the day, and lots OF
young folks are waking up to realiza
lion of it.
