The National Capital.

The City of Washington is an object
of perennial interest TO all patriotic
Americans. Not aione because ii is
the great throbbing heart of the
mightiest and grandest Republic the
earun has ever known, but also on
account of its material magniticence.
All Americans take pride III its beau
tiful avenues, majestic architecture,
stately homes, and we'll stored CALLER
les and museums as things OF gran
deur and beauty i'll themselves, apart
from the historic interest with which
they are invested. 1t is hope and
aspiration OF all YOUNG AMERICA"
at least, TO some time or other visit
the Capital OF his country.
The Baltimore and ohio Railroad
offers unequaued facilities in aid OF
this desire. Ali its through trains be-
tween New York, Philadelphia, and
Baltimore on the east, and PitUsburg,
Cincinnati, st. Louis and Chicago on
the west, pass through Washington.
Its fast express trains are vestlDuled
from end TO end and heated with
steam. Pullman's latest and best
productions II the way of sumptuous
Drawing room Sleeping Cars are at
tacned TO all its through trains.
The present management OF the Is.
4 y. have made vast improvements
in the last two years, and the road Is
to-day one OF the foremost passenger
carrying lines in the country.
Through tickets via b. y .. K. Il.
can be procured at all the principal

COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. EDIToR-In Union Square,
New York, an equestrian statue oil
George Washington stands on a gran
ire pedestal. A car driver suggests
the propriety of carving in large bold
letters on the pedestal the name
George Washington. His reason Is
this he has driven daily by that
statue for the past seven years, and
in that time hundreds Of people have
asked him whom it represents. This
shows how little some people really
know of Washington. On Friday last
it was our good fortune to be with
the Ciceronian Literary Society OF
Shepherd College. The programme
of the evening was very interesting,
and held close attention throughout.
Its character struck US as being very
appropriate The general drift of
the different readings, essays, ora
tions. etc, was Washington in the
various spheres of life. We were as
sured that but little extra preparation
had been made. The young gentle
men who compose that society showed
very plainly that they are capable OF
preparing interesting, instructive, and
spicy programmes. We feel assured
that none of those young men would
make the mistake of which the car
driver speaks. We know that the
society composed of the young men
has always done good work, and we
feel that the present material can be
developed to the schools honor and
advantage 1t gives great pleasure TO
note this exercise, and we hope the
custom of observing the % nd Of
February in the above named manner
will become more general among our
young people.

The Young Lady Said She Wouldn't.

A Raleigh On. c. dispatch says :;
Monday night was fixed upon for
the celebration at Pine Level, John
ston county, n. c., of the marriage OF
A. d. Goodwin, Of Dunn, and Miss Ida
Oliver, the pretty daughter of Pine
Levels leading merchant, L. L. Oliver.
The invited guests had come, the at
tendants were present and the offieiat-
ing Clergyman was on hand. The
time had come for the couple to step
in front of the preacher. Goodwin
and his intended locked arms and
marched out together, the attendants
following AS they stepped in front
of the preacher Miss Oliver coolly in
formed Goodwin that she had given
up the notion of getting married.
This effectually put stop to the cere
monies. Her father stepped forward
and told the would-be groom that,
perhaps. it would be better to desist
from all further proceedings and
leave for home. Goodwin quietly re-
tired. got into his buggy and departed.
No reason for Miss divers strange
conduct is given"

NEW YORK LETTER.
NEW YORK CITY,
February "a. 1890.

DEAR REGIsTBR-The banquet
given by the New York Southern SO
ciety on the night of February 22nd
was one of the grandest successes OF
its kind that has ever been seen mere.
The Lyceum was beautifully ana APP
propriately decorated and was
crowded with all the noted Southern
ers in the city. The boxes were occu-
pied by ladies, who, while not with
the diners at the eleven tables, enjoy
ed the speaking and singing greatly.
Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland were present,
and when Mrs. Cleveland took her seat
i'm her box she was cheered so much
that she had to bow several times In
recognition of it. The President OF
the Society, John. T.. calhoun, In
starting the speech making said that
while year ago the Society mad but
600 members and no club house, it
now has 600 names on its member
ship roll. has beautiful home, and is
in a good financial condition. Grover
Cleveland responded next to the
toast. The Birthday of George
Washington, with an able address.
The speaking was all able and well
in keeping with the occasion, especi,
ally that of A. p. Humphreys and
John Temple Graves of Georgia. Mr.:
Graves gave ingalls, a well deserved
ran and Showed that breeder of sec
tional hate that the days of partisanry
were over and were dying In the
very cradle that gave it birth.
Charles II. Jones of Missouri was
the last on the programme and In
rather bad taste gave Grover Cleve-
land a BANQUET table nomination for
the Presidency in 1892. Considering
the time and place it would have been
much better to have omitted that,
but in all respects as to the dinner,
the service, the hall itself and the
splendid assemblage of the Souths
most gifted sons, it was a grand
success.
The New York Southern Society Is
extremely swell.
-FOUR correspondent at this point
had some interesting talk in regard
to the Worlds fair, which he thought
would surely be held in New York.
In view Of the fact that New York is
in the soup, out-of sight, we omit the
paragraph
K. d. Mclean will be in New York
next week for four weeks. Mr., Gus
SnepnerQ Is now paying WIN eio
McLean-Prescott troupe under the
nom de plume of George Montgomery.
John Jacob Aston. the richest man
in America, died at his Fifth Avenue,
residence at o'clock Saturday morn
ing of heart failure. He was the
third of that name and Peter Cooper
estimated his wealth at $500, 900, 900,
though it is somewhere between
that and S15O,0O0,OO0. The Astors'
charities are very great and he was
greatly beloved here.

Glad to Get Rid Of Her.

A peculiar settlement OF marital
difficulties was made public in New
ark, n. j., the other day. George
Kaegi is a prosperous saloonkeeper
there. A year ago Gustave Berlin,
Frenchman, visited the saloon. He
said he belonged to wealthy family
in France, and had been compelled to
come to this country TO save broth
er from prison. After that Berling
called often at Kaegis saloon, and
was always entertaiued by Mrs. Kaegi,
who was the only person about the
place that could speak French. Mrs.
Kaegi is young and good looking.
The saloonkeeper was informed one
day that a man was acting in q crazy
manner on the her side of the street.
Looking out he saw Berling. Going
upstairs he found his wife at win
dow engaged in Irritation with the
Frenchman. He asked whether she
loved the Frenchman, and she replied
in the affirmative; and, when asked
whether she was willing to give up
her husband and two children for him,
she again answered in the affirmative.
Thereupon the husband rushed out
and brought in the Frenchman. The
wife packed up her clothes and left
the house with her lover. The form
er husband treated them at the bar
and wished them good luck.

Another Bursted Dam.
R. B. j.

A dispatch from Prescott, Arizona,
dated February 23d, says:
The large storage dam built across
Hassayampa river, by the Walnut
Grove Water Storage Co., gave way
before midnight, causing great dam
age and the loss of about forty lives.
The dam was built for mining purpo-
ses, at a cost of about 100000. 1t
was 10 feet long at the base, 400 feet
at the top, 10 feet thick at the base
and 10 feet thick at the top, forming
a lake three miles in length by three
fourths Of mile wide.
Not the slightest doubt had been
entertained Of the safety of the dam
which broke this morning early, and
numerous houses had been erected by
miners at various places along the
course of the stream. These were up
lifted by raging waters as though
they had been corks, and f1oated
down stream until they were dashed
to pieces. The first intimation of the
appalling disaster was a sound re-
sembling thunder, and at the same in
slant perpendicular wall of water
fully fifty feet nigh came rushing
down the narrow valley with almost
incredible force. Fortunately there
were but comparatively few people
living near the bottom Of the hillsides
and of these large number were
warned by the awful sound, and es-
capped to higher ground. The valley
widens above Wickenburg, and much
of the town lies upon the low lands
close to the course OF the stream, and
it is almost certain that the vast body
of water which rushed out OF the res
eryoir has carried away many houses
at that place. 1t is believed here
that fully as many people were
drowned there as Immediately be-
low the dam. The ruined dam is cut
from the top almost to the bottom as
though section had been dragged
out and the water above is only few
feet deep. Heavy rain have fallen
for several days, and last night 1t was
apparent that the water in the lake
was approaching the danger line.
The rain continued throughout the
night. and early this morning the wa
ter rose to the top of the dam and cut
u small passage near the center,
which rapidly widened and deepened
a. the water poured over 1T, and IN less
than 90 minutes the little stream had
become roaring cataract.
The storage company is blamed for
not having provided sufficient out
let for the water in times OF danger.
The only way of letting off water
was through the fume, and this al
forded no appreciate relief. This Is
the first of the great storage reservoirs
projected In the Territory, and 1t Is
believed today's disaster will operate
to discourage the construction of
similar dams

DURING the war Lewis Summers, q
Union soldier, went out one day on a
foraging expedition. He saw hog
belonging to farmer at whose place
the army was encamped, and he said
te himself that that hog was his
meat. In attempting to shoot the
hog, however, Summers shot himself
through the leg, disabling the limb.
We suppose the hog escaped, though
therecord gives no light on the subject.
Patriot Summers thought he ought
to be rewarded for his valiant attack
on the farmers hog, and he applied
for a pension. He was a long time
getting it, but few days ago Assist
ant Secretary Bussey decided that he
should be pensioned. and so he GOT
his share of the surplus.
