A Remarkable and Successful Robbery.
The beautiful white marble statue Of
Henry Clay suddenly vanished some time
yesterday from its pedestal IN the Capitol
Square. and great excitement was COCA
stoned. Tho people. supposing that . great
crime had been committed BY bold rob
bers, were very properly indignant and
threatening.
The Chief of Police at once instituted
search tor the missing statue. and w.
greatly relieved to find Il after an hour or
two standing on the post-ofice steps sell-
ing tickets 10 the Pmafore performances
for ths benefit of the Soldiers' mouument
Even the cold. marble heart OF the great
statesman was moved att the pothos and
sscredness of the effort to rear this i'm
peratively demanded monument. After
the performance last night the marble
jaws of the departed politician opened
once more. and he loudly demanded that
Pinafore be repeated tonight and at
to-morrow's matinee. HIS request could
but be complied with.

VA. PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS.
Postmastcrs for Bedford City and Farm
ville-Hili In the House.

viile--Hiii In the House.
From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON. January 1.-THE President
TODAY sent to the Senate the nomination
OF number of postmasters. Among the
number were the names of William II.
Nosby to be postmaster at Bedford City
and George Richardson at farmville, Va.
These cases have been held up for long
time, and there was much rivalry
between the candidates. Dir. Mckin-
ney, brother of the Governor OF VIZ
ginia. was the Democratic postmaster az
Farmville. 1t is understood that q num-
Der of the Virginia Republicans who do
not like the selection will urge the relec-
ton of both Mosby and Richardson. but
the chances are that both Will be confirm
ed by the Senate.
The Senate adjourned carly to-day. and
manv of the members of the upper
branch went over to the House to hear the
debate on the Holman retrenchment and
reform resolutions.
A RECEPTION IN THE HOUSE.
Senator Hill this afternoon made bis
first visit TO the House since coming to
Washington. He quietly took seat IL
one of the sofas in the lobby, but 1t was
not many moments before the Democratic
members began TO flock around him IN
great numbers, and for nearly an hour he
held veritable reception. Mr. Mcmillan
the Speaker pro t1n., who had called Mr.
Covert TO the chair. was one of the earliest
to greet the New York Senator. They shooh
hands cordially and had q pleasant conver-
sation, lasting several minutes. Virginia
North Carolina, and other southern mem
bers were presented to the Ex-Governor
and finally there was such gathering that
the popularity ofs MIR. Hill had actually
clogeed the proceedings of the House. Mr..
Dockery, of Missouri. was speaking, and
he was compelled to request that the re
ception then gong on be held IN one o
the cloak-rooms.

mis- THE PROPRR TIME.

The fact that this ground is now unimproved
comments the proposition of annexation az this
time because until a community Is built up there
is no need OF enlarging the gas and water capa-
city OF the city and no additional school-houses
required. -
Your committee believes the bill before the
legislature for annexation Is the only practica-
bic plan or basis OF annexation. The inadequacy
OF the fund tor street improvements in the pre-
sent limits OF the city Is a controlling argument
against bringing In any new territory upon the
same plan.

JUSTICE PREVAILED.
Ehe .Cadi Who Was Bound Somebody
Should Be Punished.

rhe sCadi Who Was Bound Somebody
Should Be Punished.
There was once a robber in Cairo who
fell from the second story Of a house he
was trying to enter and broke his leg,
says Harper's Young People. There
upon, he went to the cadi and COM
planned. The mans window WAS badly
made, and he wanted justice. The cadi
said that was reasonable, and he sum
moned the owner of the house. The
owner confessed that the house was
poorly built, but claimed that the car
penter was to blame and not he.
This struck the cadi as sound logic,
and he sent for the carpenter. THE
charge is, alas! too true" said the car
penter; ''but the masonry was at fault,
and | couldn't fit a good window" so
the cadi, impressed with the reason
ableness of the argument, sent for the
mason.
The mason pleaded guilty, but ex-
planned that pretty girl in blue gown
had passed the building while he WAS at
work, and that his attention had been
diverted from his work. The cadi there
upon demanded that the girl tie brought
before him.
lit is tr,1e,'' she said, s'tkat am pref
ty, but it's nc fault OF mine. # my
gown attracted the mason, the dyer
should be punished and not l." t'Quite
true" said the cadi; send for the
dyer
The dyer was brought to the bar, and,
hoping to help his business, he pleaded
guilty. That settled it. The cadi told
his robber to take the guilty wretch to
his house and hang him from the door
sill, and the populace rejoiced that JUS
tice had been done, But pretty soon
the crowd returned to the cadi's house
complaining that the dyer was too long
to be hanged from his doorsill. ''Oh,
WELL" said the cadi, who by that time
was suffering with ennui; Ego find a
short dyer and hang him. Justice shall
prevail!''
