EGG ROLLING DAY.
The Great Annual Event for the Chill
dren in Washington City.


Correspondence Richmond Palladium.
WASHINGTON, Aoril 4, 1892.
Yesterday was Egg r ,lling Day, =
and 1 want to tell you about it. Now
egg rolling day is looked upon by the
children Of Washi lgton rs the biggest,
grandest day of the whole year.
Thanksgiving with its turkey, Christ
mas with its surprises, the Fourth OF
July with its noise and red IRE, are a.
nothing compared with tni, eventfui
day.
Yesterday was . beautiful, balmy
spring day, and | never saw 30 many
children in The grounds. 1t is coming
to such a pass that if one fails to GO
to see the children it is a source OF
real regret and il seemed yesterday
that even grown person had either a
bacy or a camera. Yes. | was among
them and will send you some pictures
shortly.
Once inside the gates the children
began rolling their coiored eggs down
the grassy slope Now | admit have
never been able TO discover the
peculiar quality of fun to be gained by
such form of amusement, but il is
genuine fun all the same, for the
children, and they ought to know.
The veIders of candy, pop corn.
bananas, pin wheels and toy balloons
lined the street approaches on every
side, and but for the policemen would
have over-run the grounds. More than
once | saw one of these tiny air castles,
which, du-i,g an unwary moment. had
slipped from the hand of its youthful
owner, go sailing away. with string
of youngsters running aftac it as fast
as they could go, hoping that it might
soon come do vn into reach.
The Marine band had been ordered
out to play for the children at four
o'clock. Chairs had been placed on
the south veranda. for the President.
and shortly after the music began he
appeared with his secretary aud the
ladies'. Then how the children cheered.

their mammas or nurse to hold them
up so they could better see the

On such occasions | have ala ,st

that's good. To me it's an impetus to

they nooth out of troubled forehasds,
how many heartackes vanish when a
little hand pats the d lsiled
cheek. God bless EN- every one.

. in the little cottage. Then her eyes
| fell on the large baking oven and her
hsass little brain found way out OF the

she nI.ed it with the loose fag-

She carefully related TO the Prus-
slams how the frsnetireur had taken
cottage to the forest.
The girl answered his questions so
readily that il was hard for the officers
to suspect her of deceiving him, but
he ordered his men 10 make a thorough
search of the cottage. They looked in
closets and eupboards and rummaged
the loft
One Of the men in passing opened the
oven door and glanced in. Marie's
heart almost ceased beating. but she
gave no sign of her alarm. Seeing
nothing but the heap of faggots the
man closed the door. AS they were
preparing to leave one of the men

was suspected of harboring franc

the franctireur gathered about their
