The curbstone crowd towards night became quite lively; a little tight between an invinewble and a“ Kegnlar Chih” man. in which the Invincible got the worst of it, and the * Regular Club” man got taken to the’ station, being one of the incidents. Among the outside €rowd of politicians rumors were affoat that the leaders of the “ Invincible Club” of the ward re about te sell out, but to what party or on what terms did not transpire.

Eprron EvENING St«n:—Some months ago, @ nuisance was started within the limits of this city, which, I am surprised to note, has not met with general condemnation before this. I refer to the establishinent at the foot of 22d street, in the First Ward, for the manufacture of pon- drette, and where, for the past six months, the night soil of this city has been carted. and at the present moment there cannot be less than one thousand tons of the disgusting offal on the prem- ises. Any reasoning mind can easily hend the amount of snifering and death we have at our bands on the first approach of the warm weather. On inquiry I have ascertained this in- stitution was started by members of the Board of Health, for their own pecuniary gain. [f this is really the case, ifthe men we have selected to look after the welfare of the commonwealth ve betrayed their trust and are insteamental in bringing on an epidemic, that may sweep otf thousands of lives from the District, will the Councils not investigate this matter and see that the evil is eradicated? Jacon HexpeRson, 22d street, near G April sth. Washington, D. Pumr.—Attention is called to the pump at the corner of Massachusetts avenue and 2d street. It has been out of repair more than a month with detective or worn-out tucker, apparently.

We have seen various preparations sold for this purpose, with long ac- counts appended of their being perfect reme- dies.

These bags can be hung anywhere out of the way. If thereare no mot! ‘the articles when tied up there certainly can none get in after- ward if the are sound. All can see that. But when the clothes or articles are too numer- ous to make this convenient or desirable, hang up in the wardrobe, after a good shaking out, and place little bags of camphor all over the wardrobe, laying a few in the bottom. Then. about oor three weeks take out the clothes and shake them up well. No moth will ever dis- turb them.— Te ——— Miss KATE FIgLD, discoursing of female em- ployments and the “tunfeminine,” saysthat “ten years ago every female human being taller than an infant that wore a round hat was considered unfeminine. Now round hats are on the most fashionable noses, at an angle that would drive Euclid wild. Lecturing to-day occupies the position formerly accorded to the rounl hats. Ten years hence society will draw the line ‘unfeminine,’ say at women who, having too much honest pride to hang as bu.dens about the necks of their friends or rela- tives, take up active business and dare to make as much money as their brothers. Evidently society would go to pieces did it not insist upon drawing a line somewhere. To my comscience it is vastly more unfeminine to be guilty of the Grecian bend, to enamel, to mike conquests of men merely for the sake of couut- ing scalps, to indulge in slander, to dress ex- travagantly, to sit in the parlor and allow the cook to overdo or underdo everything edible in the kitchen, to feed children on pastry and hot bread, to consign little enes to incompetent nurses, than it is to lecture.” —<—ee-——— To Wasn Rac Carrers.—Take clean warm water in a pail, and a clean white cotton or woollen cloth, that you may the better see the progress you make; wring out of the water every time as dry as you can—proceed to rnb your carpet with it.

The week elosed in New York upon a dall ‘state of affairs in all the markets save the cold market. The advance in the toreign exchanges Was sustained throughout the business ef Satar- day led to astrong market at the opening of the Gold Reom, and as the day progressed a prom: nent broker, who was said to be baying a new clique movement, purchased several million in lots from ten thousand to half a million of dollars. Under the stimules the price vanced to 113%, but declined to 113% at t close, when the broker referred to left the mar ket. The meney market wae easy at five to six percent. The offerings at the latter figure on stocks were more than the demand. The gov. ernment dealers were abundantly supplied at the lower rate. Commercial paper was without new feature and in limited supply at seven to cight per cent. for prime dowble name aceeptan- ces. The weekly statemennt of the associated banks ix again unfavorable. There is a less in legal tenders of about two anda half millions, and a falling off in deposits ef over four and a half miltions. Speculalive manipulation is therefore very evident.

We nothing to do now but to than! God, and throw our exertions henceforth in channels more ftit- t % tor the hour.”” Letters were read from retary Boutwell, Vice President Coltax, Senators Sum- ner and Drake, Congressman Kelley, John G. Whittier, Maria Childs and others. Rev. P. Sargent made a few remarks. Miss Lucre Mott said that when the anti-slavery movem« commenced she had no idea that victory would | be accomplished in her day; and to God be- longed all praise. Rev. Burns, Frederick | Douglass and others made remark meeting adjourned till the afternoon. ‘The afternoon meeting was presided over by Wendell Phillips, who delivered a speech. Henry C. Wright then moved that t American Anti-Slavery Society adjourn sine dir. | ‘This brought out Stephen S. Foster, who thought it was still too early to close the labors of the society, as time had shown that Mr. Garrison | was greatly mistaken when he advised the dis- | solution of the society four years ago. In his | (Mr. Foster’s) opinion it had done more effective service within the last tive years than at previous time. Mrs. Tappan, who has resided many years in the South, took the same view.
