around. and the boys with the aching

There is more life on the street now
and all roads seem to lead to Center
Market. II is refreshing TO get within

Come on thar. you cheap ginnys, and
gimme bid on dis var bLlch of bananas,
barks the negro.
'Twenta- fiva the centa," cries a Nea-
politan, taking up the challenge of the
negro.
From this sum the price is raised to an
amount satisfactory to the auctioneer,
and the bunch Is knocked down to Ignacio
Ippolito. The Italians are enthusiasts
bidders, and are apt to pay extravagant
sums for inferior fruit. Often they seem
carried away by the excitement of compe-
tition in the bidding. whereupon their
ardor is checked by the padrone, who ex-
ercises over the men of his clan power
which only ends with death.
The number Of Italians in Washington
is greater than one would suppose. When
they all get together at the fruit market,
and most of them meet there every morn
ing. they make a very respectfully sized
gathering. and their chatter sounds much
like the clamorings of a mob. They arc.
however. only talking fruit prices and
such other insignificant topics.
There is an emaciated old colored We
man at the fruit market who goes from
stall to stall while these morning auc-
items are taking place. picking up as she
goes the bananas which fall from the
stocks. In half an hour she succeeds in
filling a good-siZed bagket. This accumu-
lation she sells from house TO house III

1t required a special appropriation for
the library of Congress to obtain its edi-

Of forty-two, John Eliot pastor of a
church at Roxbury. Mass. began the study
of the Natick Indian dialect, with view
toward translating the Bible into that
language. He completed the translation
in 1868, after a labor of eight years. and
the book was issued in 1868. Upwards of
LOCO copies were printed. of which twenty
copies were dedicated to King Charles.
1t is one of these latter which the library
possesses. and which cost s1150.

perts to attend all the most not

country and Europe. Thus, rare

find their way into the possession of the

corning those books, the fame of which is
world wide and which are eagerly desired

some resistance to entering the apparent

carefully installed in a separate berth,
where he cannot lie down or turn around
with his halter securely fastened on each
side with two short straps, which slide
over his manger TO allow him easy access
TO his food and water, but prevent acct

ellipse of the old St. Asaph racetrack. the
grandstand of which has been remodeled,
and contains shops where the horses

The whole place was leased 10 the War
