THE TOWNS PHOTOGRAPH.

iHtIc II nn Ouu par ol pups up near
the Chain Bridge They have not
known ANYTHING OF motherly care since
u very short time after their birth, and
at the same time are as bright and
active as Juvenile CANNES usually get to
le. They are the property of Mr. Peter
Harris, and have been raised on n
bottle the same as society babies. There
were seven brothers and sisters of them,
but five died for want of maternal
attention before this novel mode of
caring for them was thought of. The
bottle is the ordinary nursery affair,
and the pups 80 at II with as much
vigor and relish as the bald headed
youngster who may be President some
day.

The ignorant, pleasure loving. happy.
go-lucky negro OF Washington is as
carefully discriminating with reference
to the payment Of bills as the insolvent
merchant who is making list of pre-.
ferred creditors. The grocer or butcher
who trusts him is often likely to wait
for his money until the ink on the
account book becomes pale and illegi-
Bile, but the professional man--the doc
tor or the lawyer-always gets his
money. He looks upon doctor with n
kind of approximations respect. The
simplicity OF his mind makes him an
uncanny being who brings about won
derful results by means that can be
little short of supernatural. He will
bring his last fifty cents to doctor
whom he has employed and force 1t
upon nm, whether he wants IT or not.
axe IL, boss, says he; I'm be
hoodooed II you don't take IT, The
lawyer Is also regarded with awe bei
cause oi his mysterious connection with
the powers OF the law, and in most cases
has little trouble in collecting his fees.

When old Thad Stevens was alive
his shirt bosom used to be ornamental
with three small diamond studs, which
were very much admired by his friends.
and Thaddeus was very proud of his
jewels. These diamonds were sold at
auction after the old mans death and
brought $3.50, considerably more than
their intrinsic value. Hon. John w.
Lewis was presented with one of them
by the purchaser. Mr.. Lewis thinks n
great deal Of the stone for its historic
associations, and has been offered n
princely sum for il number of times
