Yesterday, calls for 81 900 for witness
fees, instead of 81 600, as last year This
reduction results from the change in the

witnesses in courts. The sum of ST, GOO
for repairs is one of the items and an iu-
crease In the pay of the deputy clerks is
also asked for. Tie bailiffs at present are

Plans to Change Its Location.
Commissioner Wight is considering \ plan
for mCving the morgue from its present
loeation, at the Sixth precinct station, to
the abaudened No. = fire engine house
on d street, near Twelfth northwest. The
residents in the vicinity of the New j ersey
avenue station have for a long time com
planned OF the odors arising from the
moFEne. and besides tile u.orsue builGing
at present used is not up to the standard
OF such places as erected in other cities.
Iii the new locality, if it should be
Chosen there are comparatively few resi-
deuees, ana moreover tie mor.ue wcuId be
murc centrally located than before.
The abandoned building, as it now
stands, is admirably suited for he purpose
having number Of large, well ventilated
rooms. Commissioner Wight thinks it more
tiau probeb BILE that ne win decide to make
the change, in which event the building
on street wiz he thoroughly fitted out
with every sanitary preUaution and all the
modern improvements OF such structures.

FOURTH OF JULY.
BY JOEL BENTON.


A soft light from the purple morn
Across the landscape makes its way,
And glorious hopes for us are born
Upon the nations natal day.
More than n century, years have run
Since Valley Forge and Bunker Hill,
While Concord's fight and Lexington
Bring memories that thrill us still.
Too rarely now we count the cost
And hazard of that warfare's wage
Or think on what rough seas were tossed
The patriots Of our earlier age.
Firmly they stood against the night
OF the whole worlds supremest power.
They fought by faith and not by sight
When failure threatened hour by hour.
But he who rules the fates and years,
Who shapes all human destinies,
Made hope the conqueror Of their fears
And brought us freedom linked with
peace.
Lift, then, today the stripes and stars
And let our country's banner wave,
Which went victorious through its wars
And still inspires the true and brave.
Peal, bells, upon the summer airl
Bring music and the lannon's aid,
For where exists land more fair
Than that our patriot fathers nader

bass drum and cymbals, the band began

CURRENT MISCELLANY.

''In the year 1888 a pair of great tits
built nest in wooden letter box which
stood in the road in the village of Row
FAINT, Sussex, into which letters, ETC.,
were posted and which was cleared
daily. Unfortunately one of the birds
was killed by boy, and the nest was
not finished. In 1889 a pair completed
it and laid seven eggs and were sitting,
but one day an unusual number of post
cards were dropped in, nearly filling
the box, and causing the birds to desert
it, when the nest and the eggs were re-
moved. In 1890 pair built a new nest
and the hen laid seven eggs and succeed
ed in rearing five young, although the
letters continued to be posted daily and
when taken out were often found lying
on the back Of the sitting bird, who
never left the nest. The birds went in
and out by the slit for the letters"
Connected with the robin there is a
sacred tradition accounting for the color
of the birds breast to which need not
further allude, except to hazard the
guess that the little songster is piously
disposed, so that one is scarcely sur
prised to hear that on several occasions
he, or she rather, has built in a church,
and once affixed nest to the Bible as
it lay on the reading desk. 1t is crafty
ing to learn that the vicar would not al
low her to be disturbed and provided
himself with another copy of the sacred
volume from which to read the lessons.

Lincoln,s InformalitY.

President Lincoln's occasional I'M
conventionality of manner sometimes
astonished and perhaps shocked little
those who were accustomed to formal
methods Of procedure in all official
things. 1t is on record that Charles
Sumner, who had very little sense of
humor, was really grieved when, dur
ing the darkest days of the war, Lin
coin suddenly asked him to try his ia
vorite game Of putting up backs. :"
The recent volume of memoirs of Fran
els w. Bird of Massachusetts borrows a
narration Of the Hon. Peleg W. Chan.
dler's. relating Mr.. Birds experience in
presenting to Mr.. Lincoln some resolu-
tons of the Massachusetts legislature
on the subject of emancipation.
Arrived in Washington, says the
story, the messenger, by appointment,
met the president at II o'clock the next
morning to present this resolve of the
commonwealth of Massachusetts. The
chief magistrate sat in an armchair
while the emissary presented the doc
ument with little speech. The presi-
dent took the document, slowly unroll-
ed it, and remarked:
well, it isn't long enough to scare
a fellow"
The Massachusetts, official said, as he
left the room:
"That is certainly most extraordi-
nary person to be president of the Unit
ed States"
Whatever unfavorable impression Mr..
Bird gained Of Mr.. Lincoln on this 90
oasion was modified afterward, and he
was an ardent supporter and admirer
Of him. His biographer remarks that
the appreciation of Lincoln as a farsee-
ing statesman was matter of slow
growth. Nearly all the public men of
the early days of the war agreed in a
lower estimate Of him than they soon
came to hold. 1t has been said that
probably not one fairly estimated him
at the beginning of the war.-Youth's
