Ellis, who gave thrilling word paint ings of now dear to him was the 22d of February his great grandfather having fought with Washington seven years in the Revolutionary war. Twenty four years ago on February 22, he was released from Libby prison and the boat on which bore him away from this den of death was labelled Washington, and the old flag at it's helm was a sight that he never can forget, as its broad stripes and bright stars brought tears of gratitude to the cheek of the braYest.

THE Little Rock Democrat is an able newspaper, but fl has been twice pub licly indorsed by Powell Clayton in the last few weeks Let il examine itself and see whether 1t has done anything to merit this disgrace Republic
 Is not the Democrat and Gazette in their zeal to dlsapprove the To- cont murder of Col. Clayton, over stepping the bounds of common sense? The people of Arkansas are proud people. They have sent forth to the world their con- demnation of the crime, and IS it necessary to go on repeating over and over what has already been said, simply for tho benefit ofs few extreme parsisans? We think not.

THE following from that stauneh old journal, the ArkanSaw Traveller, contains very suggestive moral, and II can be discovered without ex- ercising the mental powers much, too: When General Albert Pike lived in Arkansaw, he owned ne. gro known throughout u.e neigh borhood as Coal-Tar Philpot. Phil pots reputation as thief was well established and his ability as llar could not be questioned. Severa days ago, while General Pike was sitting III his library, I servant an- nouneed old Philpot, The general was exceedingly glad te see him, not that he rem embered with en- dearment Philpots strrlng qnol- ities, but that the general looks with pleasure upon every face that comes from tAe past.

 Business in the House has almost collapsed and it wlll not be q sur prising fact if the Postofiiee appro- priation bill, Indian appropriation bill and general deficiency blll should fail to pass the two Houses before Congress expires. This sa- vors very much of an extra session. The cabinet makers are figuring, sponging their states, and wiplng their brows.

 The committees have completed all their arrangements, and are now resting on their oars complacently reviewing their work. They are quietly awaiting the great rush when all thelr plans are to be put into execution and then they will have thelr hands full again. There is strong probability that un- scrupulous sharpers will try to sell the unsuspeeting people forged tickets for reserved seats on the various stands along the avenue. Those persons visiting Washington that day will have to be very care fuI and see that their tickets are of the authorized edition.
 Washington's birthday was Sig nalized in the Senate by lively tIlt between Senators Chandler and Black burn. This contest was at first oratorlcal, but soon grew to such pitch as to almost "a Ia Snl- livan." Mir. Chandler,s ear is a 1t tie stiff in consequence of the affair and if the Kentucky Senator had not been stopped, portion of the floor would have been swept lit tie cleaner than usual.

FROM WASHINGTON.
February IS, 1889.

One short week more and all will be oyer so far as this administration and the Fiftieth Congress- is con eerned. The past week has be an a lively one. politically, socially, and otherwise, and Washington S birth cay coming in has gwen every one a short rest before the great coming event. On the 22d the cltY did honor to her fathers memory ty donning il robe of white, the deepest snow we have had this win ter, and It was thought this would interfere with the military celebra- tIors that day, but the mllitnry or der was not to be dampened by a little snow, and the paradcs took place as usual The chief point of beauty of Washington climate IS it's infinite variety, and It IS guaran- teed to suit every one at times.
 The centennial anniversary of the founding of Georgetown college has marked this week as one of great historic importance for the people of the District. It has called up the past with all it's patient labors, he roic sacrifices, and generous hard ships. It has caused census to be made for moment, or an hour of all the good that has been done by selfdenying men of learning, whose lives have been given up to the training of boys to be men. To the people of old Georgetown and new ashington It has been rare !es- tival of good will and soGl stirring rtminiscenec. Then too, it has brought new impulses of hope and confidence. Tins college is one of the oldest ill the Unlted States, and has played an important part Tn District matters.
 Almost all the leading doctors and lawyes here are graduates of it's schools. The centennial cere- monies took place with great deal ofpomp, the buildings of the college and all its schools scattered through the City being handsomely decora- ted, and they will probably remain so until after the inauguration.

GINsBERG's LOST CASH.
He Thinks He Has Found the Woma,
that SwiDdled Him

He Thinks He Has Found the Woman
that Swindied Him.
1t will be remembered that some time
ago a woman entered Sam. Ginsberg's
store, on street, and presented lottery
ticket which bore the number of one that
had won prize of $500. She offered it to
Ginsberg for s475, claiming that she needed
the money, and he cashed it. He after
wards found it to be of no value, and had
about given up all hope of ever recovering
his money, when on Tuesday evening,
while walking up j street, he spied a
woman whom he says is the one that
swindied him. According TO his statement
she was walking with man cher husband,
he supposedly at the time, and when he
(Ginsberg) was within about twenty feet oil
them she dsrted into dry goods store and
her escort went off in another direction.
Ginsberg summoned, officer Arlington,
and the lady. who gave as her name Annie
Donohue, was taken to jail. She proposes
hiring lawyer and seeing the case through.
In the Police Court yesterday she was ad-
mitted to bail in the sum of $1,000.
Mrs. Donohue states that she purchased
the ticket at Red Bluff, and admits having
taken it to Ginsberg to be cashed. She has
been in the city ever since the occurrence
her husband being employed as a vender
of papers, etc. on the railroad trains. She
is very innocent-appearing person of Is
years, and does not look nor act like a con.
| fidence woman.
Persons who have examined the bogus
ticket say it is a gem in the way of forgery
and is the work of none but the most ex-
pert in that line. That the woman never
did the work is perfectly clear, and it is
not at all improbable that she was simply
employed to collect the money for con.
sideration. She had not succeeded in Civ,
ing bail last night but takes her imprison.

1t Makes Its Appearance on the Shade
Trees IN This City.
Fred. A. Ebel, the well-known florist,
says he has discovered an insect pest in
this city, which he thinks is an entirely
new species, and which if not taken
care of promptly will spread with disas-
trous effects. In front of the residence
of A. A. Van VOORHEES,, at Fourteenth and
II streets. one Of the cork. elm shade trees
on the edge of the walk is infected with a
white scale. In size it is about as large as
the black scale, looks something like the
cottony cushion-scale but is quite distinct
from either in structure and habits. Mr.
Ebel, who is thoroughly acquainted with
all kinds of insect pests, says this "brand
new bug" 1t covers the under side of all
the upper limbs of the tree mentioned,
and is found on many of the lower branches.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Discussing Various Topics at q Gale,
Maafiup Last EveniuD

Discussing Various Topics at Called
Meeting Last Evening.
The Board of Education met last night,
in response to special call, to consider a
number of matters affecting the welfare of
our city schools.
After the discussion of several affairs of
minor import, Director Martin, in brief
but quite forcible address, called the atten-
ton of the Board to what he considered the
evils of the present plan followed in the
Sacramento Grammar School of keeping
the fourth-grade pupils upon the upper
floor of the building. The Director made a
motion providing that the pupils of this
grade be assigned TO the ground floor of the
building.
After considerable discussion the Board
determined to make no change in the ex-
listing arrangement during the present
term.
The oath of this month having been de-
cided upon for the annual Union Sunday
school picnic, that date was declared hol-
iday in order to allow the school children
to attend.
By a unanimous vote of the Board, the
Census Marshals recently elected were re-
quired to attend to their work in person,
and in no case to delegate their duties to
others.
Action was taken to provide for the serv-
ices of Mrs. Addie Carter as singing in
structor in the preparations for the High
School closing exercises.
The Board then adjourned.
