Hunt and ByfQa.

The bond which kept Byron and Hunt
together was broken by Shelley's death.
Byron was tired of him, and Hunt had not
the tact to leave him alone We give
Byron's veFsion of the es1rangement rather
than that of the other, for Leigh Hunt
answer for himself is q weaker apology
and had better have remained unwritten:
"Hunt's letter Is probably the exact
piece of vulgar coxcombry you might ex-
pect from his situation. He is good man,
with some poetical elements in his chaos,
but spoiled by the Christchurch hospital
and Sunday newspaper-to say nothing
of tho Surrey Jail, which conceited him in
to martyr. But Leigh Hunt is a good
man and good father-see his odes to all
tho Masters Hunt; q good husband-see
his sonnet to Mrs. Hunt; a good friend
SEQ his epistles to different people; a great
coxcomb, and a very vulgar person in ev-
erything about him. But that's not his
fault, Tut of circumstances
Again, though with no direct allusion
to Hunt, he writes:
"The pity of these men Is that they new
er lived in high life nor In solitude. There
is no medium for tho knowledge of the
busy or the still world If admitted into
high life for season, 1t is merely as spec
tators-they form no part Of the mechan-
ism thereof. Now, Moore and I, the one
by circumstances and the other by birth,
happened to be free of the corporation and
to have entered into its pulses and pas
sions, 'quarum parties fulmus. '"-Temple

Paper MoaeJ.
The first paper money ever issued by the
government of the United States WIS OIL
thorized by the acts Of July II and Aug.
s, 1851. The notes issued were called "ds-
mand notes. because they were payable
on demand at certain designated subJreas-
uries They were receivable for all public
dues, and the secretary was authorized TO
reissue them when received; but the time
within which such reissues might be made
was limited to Dec. 81, 1869.
The amount authorized by these acts
was $50, 0OO,O 900. An additional issue II
SO, 900, 900 was authorized by the act of
Feb. 10, 1869, and there were reissues
amounting to 100000. The demand notes
were paid in gold when presented for re-
iemption, and they were received for all
public dues, and these two qualities pre-
vented their depreciation.
All other United States notes were de-
preciated in value from 1869 until the re-
sumption Of specie payments. The net Of
Feb. IS, 1862, provided. for the su5stitu-
ton Of United States y tcs In place of tho

Cancelled when received. BY July l, 1858,
all except 50, 10, 900 had been retired, and
nearly $3,0OO,O 900 of this small remainder
was Cancelled during the next fiscal year.
These notes were not legal tender when
first issued, but they were afterward made
so by the act OF March II, 1862.

THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY has run
cars to-day between this city and Wash
ington on schedule time. Barring a
few slight impediments incident to all
new railways, everything has worked
satisfactorily, and the convenience af-
forded by hourly trips, arrival and de.
parture, of the cars in central part of
the city is being appreciated by the pub.
lie. The running of the King and Royal
street cars was interfered with yester-
day on account of the new timetable of
the cars between Washington and Alex
andria, but the same trips will be made
to the depot, the wharf and south Fair
fax street IS heretofore. This morning
workmen who were engaged in remov-
ing the feed wires from lower Fairfax
street were stopped in their work by
Officer Sherwood and the matter re-
ported to the Mayor, who made imme-
date inquiry. 1t was learned that it
was the intention of the company to re-
move the feed wires from that thorough
fare, as they were useless, from the fact
that current sufficient to operate two
miles of railroad can be obtained from
the trolly wire alone, and that there
was no intention of abandoning the
street. The Mayor allowed the work
to proceed. This incident gave rise to
rumor that the Fairfaxstreet track
was being pulled up.

FIRE.-The alarm of fire about 11:30
this morning was caused by the partial
burning of frame stable in the rear OF
three frame houses on st. Asaph street,
between Queen and Princess streets,
owned by the estate of the late John
Lannon. The stable was used by MIR.
w. 81. Hardy and in it was small
quantity of hay and some harness. The
latter was taken out without damage.
The fire is supposed to have been caused
by some children who had been playing
in the stable. The flames were extin-
guished by the Hydraulion and Relief
Companies, the Columbia Company
having misunderstood the alarm and
gone to another part of the city. The
loss by the fire is slight.

THE FIREMEN.-The fourth annual

panles present. In the morning at IL
O'Clock a grand banquet, at which
about 6 600 visitors were present. was
given in the City Hall.
1t was great day for Cumberland
The city was crowded with visiting
firemen.
the parade was the grandest sight
ever witnessed there.
The prize for largest display was
awarded to the First Hose Company,
of Hagerstown, Md.
The judges were DR.. G. II. Brace,
Mr.. ]. J. McHenry and Postmaster d.
e. Kean. They delivered to the Co.
lumbia Company, of this city, testi-
monial for the handsome appearance
made by the company in the parade,
and expressed regret that there was no
prize for the company presenting the
best general appearance.
This expression from the judges was
unexpected by the Columbia boys, as
they had expected all honors in line
of parade to have been awarded to COM
panies resident in this vicinity, and
who were enabled to bring their entire
membership. This is an unexpected
honor.
The parade required nearly forty-five
minutes to pass a given point, and is
generally conceded to have been the
finest that has taken place in the histo-
ry of the association. The fremen were
all handsomely uniformed and were
greeted with great enthusiasm at every
turn by the large assemblage crowding
every available space for observation.
The second division was headed by
the Friendship Drum Corps, of Alexan-
dria, 10 men, M. F. Padgett, leader;
Columbia Steam Fire Engine Company,
No. 4, of Alexandria, so members, Jno.
II. Strider, vice.president, with their

ing the engine contest.

generally.

Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to q
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the liver
and kidneys and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it.
