Pp EVENING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. ACrrixe Evin.—What has got into the men?” We have received a shower of commu tions from ladies, hich the following are specimens, complaining of the impertinence of loafers, and that class of bipeds who con- gregate at convenient portions of the public promenades, make a habit of rudely stall lady passers, and of distribu the tobacco juice with which their cheeks are dis- tended, ina manner alike destructive of the dresses and tempers of the fairer sex. The first offence is heinous enough, and has no other possible extenuation than that the “* Stranger Lady"’ and other fair complainers may be soextremely pretty as to make the tother sex forget their manners for the time being; as for the latter complaint, to use the remark of the learned Linkum Fide- lius, no man can ezpect-to-rate as a gentleman who wantonly or carelessly spoils a lady’s dress with his vile tobacco juice. Tobacco chewin; is a very senseless, filthy habit, at best, an it is about time for our moral reformers to get up a chewing and spitting pledge, and at the same time the signers might bind themselves te abstain from the use of all intoxicating glances at the ladies as a be e. Who'll start such a society? Meantime we commend the “‘accompanying documents’’ to the prayer- ful consideration of all vagabond loafers : [COoMMUNICATED. Mr. Editor : Admiring the chivalrous gal- lantry of your disposition towards what you men are pleased to term the ‘fair sex,’’ I presume upon your good nature to ask an abatement of what I considera great and growing nuisance, the fashion of impudent, {ll-bred. no-mannered creatures calling them- sslves men, in staring in the face and gasing after ladies unaccompanied by gentlemen. No true man would be guilty of the unpar- donable breach of etiquette as that of con- stantly turning round to gaze after a lady. No excuse can be pleaded in extenuation ot so brasen a habit, but that of greenness or idiotey. More particularly is this noticeable in the gangs cf idle loungers poems 3 hang- ing around our principal hotels and public unds. To one who has been so short atime in Washington, this disgusting mark of rude- ness bas become disgustingly annoying; how the fair ladies who live permanently in Wash- ington can stand this constant seige passes my conception of female endurance. Another criminal evil under which we are compelled to suffer (an evil which should merit the stern- est rebuke, and drive the evil offender from the pale of all decent men’s society) I have remarked at the President’s receptions, viz : the critical inspection the ladies undergo from the side gazors, and the grossly vulgar re- marks they clicit from those connoisseurs of womanly face and form. If strict gentle- manly propriety could be expected anywhere, surely one would look for it in those who fre- quent the halls of the White House. Cannot men who impose themselves upon decent so- ciety. on account of the publicity of these re- ceptions, divest themselves of their rakish blackguard tendencies for the few moments (an os ene burden) of decency expected of them? If they cannot, ther presence should not be tolerated. Cannot you, Mr. Editor, suggest some relief from this odious and dis- graceful practice. Do, I pray you, and re ceive the thanks of A Srnanee Lapy. First Ward, March 15. [commusicatep. Mr. Editor: Knowing the interest you feel in having ladies enjoy their rights and_privi- leges, I threw myself upon your favor in nar- rating the following : While walking on Pennsylvania avenue last evening I had a silk dress entirely ruined, ard a cloak very much soiled by tobacco juice, ejected from the mouths of those who consider themselves gentlemen. Whether by accident or design, I think it highly import. ant to give gentlemen a hint of the ruinous effects this obnoxious weed has on dresses and cloaks, and how eruel to the weaker sex to prevent them from enjoying a promenade on the beautiful Pennsylvania avenue, under pain of being thus assailed. My impression is, that the trespass occurred in the neigh- borhood of one of the hotels on Pennsylvania avenue. Several ladies have complained of the same thing, and unite with me in request- ing you will use your utmost influence in try- ing to convince the lords of creation “ of their evil ways.’” Yours, Lapy. Crean Ur!—The following remarks from the Philadelphia Gazette may well be ap- plied to Washington and Georgetown. A hit- tle sacrifice of money now may save loss of health and life when the dog star rages. We are not inclined to be alarmists, but the northward progress of summer pestilence calls for early and rigorous sanitary movements. “Among the consequences of the severe and protracted cold which we have this win- ter experienced, is a ten-fold accumulation of the decaying vegetable and other matter, which winter usually deposites in the lap of spring. Courts, lanes, and alleys, vacant lots and corners will, upon the first warm weather, appeal to our senses with unmistakeable dis- tinctness. The yards of private residences, especially in the’ crowded parts of the city, are full of matter ready to become offensive at the first opportunity. Cellars have been neg- lected during the inclement season. Every- where there is more than the usual accumu- lation of unsalubrious deposits. As we may remark, by the way, that these things give out unhealthy gases before they are odorous; and that we need not to wait until our senses are shocked to know that the process of de- composition, injurious to health, is going for- w As there is an extraordinary accu- mulation of unhealthy deposits, so is there need of extraordinary care in the cleansing of every part of ourcity. The danger of pesti- lential diseases in a great city in increased by a severe winter. And ‘‘ use doth so breed » habit in a man,’’ that by being accustomed to foul smells, people become unconscious of them, and breathe in the tainted air as if there were no better or purer atmosphere.” I.0 0. F.—The Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia, S. T. Shu- gert, Esq., has made the following appoint- ments for the semi-annual Vizitations to the subordinate lodges under his jurisdiction : Washington, Tuesday, March 18; Friend- ship, Thursday, March 20; Central, shin March 21; Covenant.

Miss Cuara Kzay’s concert, on Saturday evening, w ell attended and entirely suc- cessful. She is a petite blue-eyed blonde, with the fascinating manner of Madame Thil- lon or Agnes Robertson, and her vocal powers are of superior order. Mr. Camoens sang several of the songs made popular by Russel, with groat effect, and Professor Foertsch pre- sided at the piano, which was the instrument mentioned in Thursday's Star, and can be seen to-day at ihe Music Depot of neighbor Hilbus. : We are happy tolearn that the gifted young Cantratice intends giving a second concert. Curtosirr.—We have seen, at the counter of the Kirkwood House, a curious specimen of the fine arts, being nothing lees than the first caricature executed in America. It was got up by the New Yorkers upon Robert Morris in revenge for the suceess of that gentleman in his efforts to have the seat of government removed from New York city to Philadelphia. The engraving is now in the possession of the grandson of Robert Morris, the present Post- master of the House of Representatives. Mn.

Ths evidence before the Coroner « jury indieated that she died from affection of the heart. @as.—As an act of jastice, we take sure in stating that since the thaw, we hear of few, if any, complaints the Gas Company. The Superintendent and his em- pl are active in stopping leaks, repairing satbeaed eae drips, 4c. We are now satisfied that many of the causes of complaints against the eompany wore traceable to the severity of the weather in January and Feb- Tusry, and not likely to ocour in twenty years. Wo have made many inquiries, and taked considerable pains to look into this gas question lately, pele think it is to the interest of all consumers who — - pce me ly of cheay , to iy ny, a8 ‘ead. me apprehend, to reduce the price of gas shortly. We are wholly disin- terested (( pt as a large consumer of gas,) and, therefore, can, as we intend to do, speak freely on this subject. Pouce InteLLicENce.—Something of a shindy was kicked up by the denizens of “H Alley,’’ on Saturday night, in the course o! which one cousin bit off another cousin’s ear, and a general muss ensued, in which the parties pummelled each other without much regard to the ties of consanguinity. Four of them, vis: Jeffrey Connell, John Connell, Thomas Connell, and Thomas thse, or were committed to jail for assault by Justice Hollingshead. John Fitzgerald was oom- mitted also for maiming John Connell. At the same office, John Naser was com- mitted to jail for assault. Grace Caveca Farr.—Those who have en- joyed heretofore the delightful entertainments got up by the Grace Church ladies will read with pleasure the notice in another column of the appraching Fair to be held in the beauti- ful and centrai hall over Farnham's book- store. With the ladies of Grace Church there is no such word as fail, as is evidenced by their triumphant success in buildin; up their beautiful chureh edifice under such disceur- agements. The coming Fair is, accordingly, bound to prosper. TuEatricaL —It is announced that Mr. Peter Richings, (that veteran survivor of the old “ Park ort a 6 will appear to-night as Cartouche in tho “‘Daughter of the Regi. ment,’ theleading part of which will be taken by his daughter, Miss Caroline The aftor — is Robert Macaire, in which Mr. Rich- ings will take the part which, (in the spark- ling .original French) gave Maitre a world-wide reputation. 3 ‘rederic La Frour axp Fexp.—John Ball, whose ad- vertisement will be found in the Star to-day, understands his business theroughly. le works hard and takes due care o: the pen- nies. We know him well; and know no man more likely to relyin his business on the final triumph of constant attention, quick sales, and emall profits. Give him a trial, those who want flour or horse feed. Sr. Parrick’s Day opens beautifully, though there is the usual uncertainty how it may close. The Catholic churches are open, but in SM ers of the day occurring this year in Holy Week, the usual celebration of the day will not be observed. In New York, we notice that the usual festivities of St. Patrick’s day will be postponed until next week. Arremrt at BureLary.—About twoo’clock Sunday morning, theneighborhood was aroused by the cry of «‘ watch!” from over Keyworth’s jewelry store. A movement as of burglars had been heard below, but they must have decamped suddenly on the alarm being given, as no trace of them could be found and no ar- ticles were missing from the store. Taz River Buocxave is fairly raised, the ice above, as well as below the bridge, having disappeared The steam ferry communication between Washington and Alexandria is re- sumed, and the general business of the river will soon assume its old routine. Crimmxat Court.—The Court met to-day, but up to the time wo left the room no cases had been decided. Warca Rerurxs.—H.
