A LONE lNDIAS.-Probably the most
venerable sign in Alexandria is the
wellknown red man who has stood in
front of the old Scotch-roof fame
house on the northeast corner of King
and Fairfax streets for the past half 4
century. This good naturcd-looking
aborigine has kept his silent watch so
long that everybody in Alexandria is
acquainted with him. For half cen
turv he has faced billiards aud torrid
waves with the same placid smile and
clutChing the identical bunch of cigars
that were in his hand in the early days
of the late Charles p. Shaw. This
faithful brave witnessed the departure
OF Alexaudrians for the Mexican war,
saw the sons and many of the survivors
OF that conflict pass and repass him
while preparing for the fratricidal
conflict of lS6l-'65, while the entire
army of the Potomac passed him and
repassed him during those four years.
Time has long ago cut down his origin
al owner, and during the years he has
so faithfully stood az his post thirteen
hundred millions of people have died
and equally as large o number been
born, yet Time has had no effect upon
him; the same good-natured smile he
has cast upon past generations he is
casting upon this, while at long inter-
walls coat of paint causes him to re.
new his youth and render him invul-
uerable to the onslaughts of Father
Time. When he first took his post the
sickly glare of oil lamps cast their
beams upon him. He smiled still when
gas jets cleaned, and now under the
radiant beam of electricity the same
smile bedecks his cOuntenance.

OPERA HoUsE.-"Anderson's Jolly
Old Chums' or 1.-TWO Old Cronies Up
TO Date" will be the attraction at the
Opera House next Thursday night
Jolly Old Chums" is musical farce
comedy of more than ordinary force
and also an extravaganza of no mean
pretensions. Manager Anderson an
nounces that he has secured for this
season the strongest company to be
had. Pretty faces are abundant, bright
songs numerous, and bright sayings
constant. The specialties are new and
novel and the whole entertainment full
ofjolly surprises.

SENT TO JAIL.-Complaint was made
to police headquarters to-day by the rel
atives of man whose chief aim in life
is to be under the influence of liquor
perpetually. 1t was feared by the com.
plainant that delirium tremens would
intervene if the unfortunate was not
made to sober up. The man was found
later on the street drunk and he will be
sent to Jail. The police have their eyes
on several other delinquents, who will
be made to keep him company if they
continue their designations.

A SUGGEsTIoN.-The increased num-
Der of tramps in the city, together with
the fact that many of the individuals
fined for various offenses in the Mayors
court are unable to pay fines, has
brought a suggestion from Mayor
Strauss to the effect that such delin-
quents be employed in breaking the
stones iu the old canal locks belonging
to the city. These broken stones could
be utilized to much advantage in vars
Gus ways throughout the city.

COUNTRY PEoPLE.-There seemed to
be more country people in the city to-
day than usual The neighborhood OF
the market house, of course, attracted
most of them who had anything to sell
in the way Of fruits and vegetables,
wood and chips. The majority of the
farmers living in the neighborhood o.
Mt. Vernon or along the line of the
railroad have long since discarded wa
CONS in which to come to town, and the
early cars on Saturday mornings, espe-
cially, land many of them at King and
Fairfax streets.

A DESPERATE NEGRo.-The consta-
BILE at Oxen Hill, Maryland, was rough
ly used few nights ago by a negro
man he attempted to arrest. The man
also got the better of two other colored
men, but was at last worsted by small
athletic darkey and finally arrested. A
fine with bond of $500 was required
by the justice of the peace, which the
prisoner has not yet been able to give.
