PASSING YEAR

Farewell, old year! AS you depart,
to let your blithe successor start upon
its promising career, I think you've
been good old year. OF course a
poor man here and there complains
that he is in despair; he says his chill
dren daily cry, and cry in vain for
pumpkin pie; he hunts for work
throughout the town and all employ
ers turn him down. But nearly every
one know is earning good and ample
dough; few are so poor they cNnnot
drive their cars with piStons fou: or
f1ve; few are so poor they do not know
the blessings of the radio. 'Tis true
that chaos, sad and strange came down
upon the Stock Exchange, and paper
prof1ts disappeared, and many fellow
tore his beard and cried aloud in
anguished tones that he had lost a
million bones. The coin he lost he
never had, and so his plight was not so
bad. But men of sense and Judgment
flne, who put their kopecks down in
brine and bought good bonds and things
like those. avoided all such grievouS
throeS. IT'S true hot weather hurt the
corn, and farmers wished they were
not born: some cornfields shriveled In
a night, but other crops came through
all right, the cows gave milk, the hens
laid eggs, enough to fill the farmers
kegs, the apple trees were loaded down
with fruit they marketed in town, and
in the end, most everywhere, things
turned out right side up with care.
Good-by, old year, you had your flaws,
IKE every year that ever was. but when
view you, con and pro, I rather hate
10 see you go. WALT MASON,

Today in
Washington History
BIZ DONALD A. CRAIG.

December %, 1S65.-There was not
large attendance of visitors at the
White House today and none of those
who did come were granted an inter-
view with President johnson, whose
time was occupied until afternoon by
conferences with Secretary or War
Stanton, Secretary of the Treasury
McCulloch and Gen. Grant, who came
in about IL o'clock.
An excellent profile portrait of the
President has been prepared. silver
among those OF the Indian chiefs of
the West who have observed the obliga-
lions OF their treaties with the Govern
ment.
The Quartermaster general of the
Army, upon the recommendation of
Gen. Grant. has ordered the sale of all
the Government buildings at Point
Lookout, Md, at the mouth of the Po-
tomac River. These include over 80
buildings, some of which are very large.
They were used to take care of Con-
federate prisoners during the war and
the United States troops stationed there
to guard them and to protect the point
from possible assault by water by the
Confederate forces in Virginia,
The steam laundry used in washing
for the Confederate prisoners and the
Federal troops on duty there, together
with the wharf timber, will also be sold.
The efforts which have been made
through Congress and the President to
have the buildings at Point Lookout set
apart by the Government for a military
and naval asylum delayed action on
the subject for some time. After care
ful consideration of the matter by the
authorities, it was deemed advisable to
sell this property and adopt some other
method OF assisting the philanthropic
efforts of the people in behalf of dis
abled soldiers and Seamen.
Gen. Augur, commanding the Military
Department of Washington, has ordered
Lieut.. Col. Ayre, in command at Alex
andria, Va. to arrest all parties con-
cerned in the riots in that city on
Christmas day and not to release any
persons arrested on the demands of
the civil authorities, but to refer all
such cases to the military departmental
headquarters in this city.
The loyal men in Alexandria are Pc
titioning Gen. Augur for an additional
military force for patrols, alleging that
the conduct of returned Confederate
soldiers renders it unsafe for Union men
to pass along the streets at night. Be-
fore this request is granted. 1t is ex-
pected that Gen. Augur will have an
investigation made to determine the
truth about the conditions in Alex
andria.
