The jarger sacning bos so far cut and deposited the earth onalme with the west wall ot the canal, and the her machine is at work near by, making another cut, wi ‘ch will strike about tbe center of the canal; the ear:h being scowed off to witbin the lines of the p oposed sea wall, commencing et the south end of the present wall on the west side, extending to the chan- wel, and thence with the line of Georgia enue tO square i'—by which @ consider- bie esmourt of land will be reclaimed. ‘The cut being made is reven feet in depth, al- the contract calls or bat 45 feet in t the sides, but as the walls now ere ten dc eper the cu: the bette. ‘Wm.

The Byst 1 Edacation in Pri: ystem mary ‘The teachers of the Primary Schools met this morning, at 9 o'clock, iu the Miller School Building, and nearly all ponded to the call ef the roll. Superinvendent Wileon, and ‘Trae @ee McLellan were present. The Superinten- dent stated that he intended to hold meetings of classes of the teachers for special purposes, as be considered such meetings better to secure practical rerults than the meet- x held heretofore. He pro} , in the pres- ent series of meetings, to be held on each Satur- day morning, to consider the subject of special importance to primary teachera—sounds of the letters, reading, spelling, numbers and object ae said the day was not tar distant when ALPRAPRT AND PRIMER PUriTs of the city would be formed into schools b: themselves, separate from the more advan elasses. These first steps in education were of the greatest importance, and to conduct them properly required the highest order of teaching. HE ‘HR TEONIC SYOTEM . of teaching reading was now generally ized as the best, and the very ii as coud. charts and phonic print invented by D: were admirably adapted to this purpose. Papi ean be taught to read through the primer by tBis mode in from four to six months, and when 20 taught they read with much more facility and better modulation of voice.

The first is }OnN’s HOME eT. located on the corner of 2istand E streets north- west, and under the rots ee = of an executive committee—Miss. Juliana G. a ‘Mrs. Admiral Harwood and Mre. 8. B. Eltiott— who represent the board of mangers of an or- ganization feunded for this pu: in 1886. They occupied a rented house on the corner of Connecticut avenue and K street until last year, when the present harspnon | was purchased. Itis stories of trame, 0x40 feet, high, and its i tions of charity are varied. It compri- se@ an asylum for the the destitute and orphan children; also, a mission-] relief of out-door poor, in which there are now thi inm: besides many bei: furnished with night's lodgings. The tubse to the Home, are suppited with coupon tickets, eo that when in their charitable rounds or even daily avocat they meet a deserving object, they give aticket for or fuel as the case may be in which way between $1,200 and $1,500is snnually expended. There is also here a free parish school containing fifty children. Here are held also, ‘mothers’ meetings, for the in- struction of women in sewing and religion. Sunday school and mission services are also con- ducted Lm a by Rev. Mr. Graves, and are large- ly attended. Next comes BT. JOHN'S HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN, heretofore referred to in THE Sqe. This in- stitution is exclusiveiy under the control of the ladies of St. John’s Sisterhood, an organization of about four years’ existence, and com; of ei,bteen ladies o; St. John’s congregation, and at the head of which is Miss R.. or Sister Lillie. They wear while on hospital duty a habit ot black alpaca, with white — cotlar, a large black cross being suspended from the points of the latter. Hitherto *yeir charitable attentions have been confined to the poor of the Lng buton their rounds it was plainly visible that some central place was for the sick chii- dren, whose tender years rendered them less able to stand sickness and exposure than the rest of the class then recei aid from the Sisterhood. It wes then ined to estab- lish a hospital, which was done on November Istlastin the new three story brick buildin, No. 1/15 Pennsylvania avenue. There has been £0 far cared for only four patients, as the exis- tence of such an inscitution in the Firet Ward ix but little known. Two have been restored to bealth and sent home, and twe r, wa.m, one a six year old boy suffering with hip-joint disease, d the other a twe year old. There is no rez- ular physician to the hospital yet, the kind care of the ladies supplying well place of medi- calattention, but when the latter is necessary the services of Dr. Kobt. Keyburn are broughi into requisition. ——i———— ACCIDENT TO A WEDDING PARTY. A Stray Panier_Mystifieation of Un- married Rallread Officials. Yesterday afternoon a bridal party of three couples arrived in the ¢ p. m. Orange train at the Maryland avenue depot, and while alight- ing trom the cars one of the ladies lost an ARTICLE OF DRESS, which fell to the platform. Conductor Suther- land called to her, but she not appearing to called loader, notice him, he » “1 say, Miss, our pardon, but you have lostsomething.” She urned around to look, as did the others of the party, bat t the existence of any all i unusual object in place pointed ‘$0, passing on without claiming it. The modest luctor, to make sure that he did see something, picked it up and walked past the party with THE ARTICLE ewinging on his hand to the depot, where a con- sultation was held aa to what it was, one know- ing chap claiming that it was @ bonnet, it baving strings to tie on with, also whalebone springs and a sort of scolloped around the outside.

The work of laying the Robbivs wood pare- ment, so long delayed, has been entered «pon, and as the style of pavement is somewhat pecu- liar, as well as the process of laying it, quite a crowd is drawn to witness the progress of the work, at the corner of 11th street. In this connection the following description of the process of preparing this ement, written by a correspondent, will be of intsre:t:— The wood to be used in the pavement between Sth and 12th streets, is to be protected against decay by Burnettizing; and a description of the process will at this time be interesting and instructive. In Logland, Sir William Burnett tented the invention in 183%, Im 1850, at well, Mase., it was a go to the preserva- tion of the timber w in the construction of the canal locks, at a cost of $5 to $6 per 1.000 teet board measure, and being found effective tas since been emp'oyed for the protection of any wood liable te decay. ‘he wood, in blocks, (and it is better that it fhould not be seasoned,) is run on cars irto an iron eytinder 69 feet by 5, and 1 inch thick. The door is hermetically se: }. steam pump a vacuum is preduced and sustained for 45 minutes. The effect of this will be to craw the sap from the pores and tubes of the wcod. Then the cylinder is filled with a solution of jg parts of the chloride of zinc in 100 parts of water, and a presture of 125 pounds to the square inch is applied, the result ye isto force the — into and through cavities previously filled with the vegetable juices. A Tore simple and @ less expensive was suggeste: by F. Hewson, C.

Next, the blocks, while hot, are thrown into open tanks, ho! the zinc solution, and al- lowed to remain tor some time—the longer the better. It fs plain that the antiseptic fluid will take the place of the expelled sap, thus entirely a the , and protecting it, if properly applied, against al! fat decay. The chloride of zinc is a powerful caustic, andit acts asan antiseptic or preservative by coagulating the albumen and destroying the germs of ani- mal! and vegetable life, which are the essential causes of wet and dry rot, as well as of the ordi- of wood, aided by the conditions ot heat, water, and air. All preservatives of woou act by destroying or neutraliz ng the vegetable Juices, or organic germs, or by ey them and taking their place. To the first class be- long corrosive sublimate, blue stone, copperas, chloride of zinc, &c,; to the last, time, oils, &c. wood witb tar or asphaite will not protect it against either dry or wet rot, if the conditions favorable to their production exist; and now. if the parties who mpoy pavement, prepared as deccribed above, per- — their daty ane imi they ave a grand opportunity nd prov- ing its superiority to the Miller, lapsbee patents, which are to be its ri’ competitors.

Seventh Ward Polities—Beswell Tri. imphant. 2 A mass meeting of the Seventh Ward Repub- licans was held last night at Island Hall, pur- suant to a call eigned by F. A. Boswell, for the purpose of electing officers of the ward club. ‘There was a very tair turn out of both white and colored republicans, and among them were ex-Councilman Joe Williams, Alderman S. S. Baker, Councilmen Hunt, Carraher and Bowen. G. W. Goodall, Ward Commissioner; J. B. Creamer, H. O. Johnson, S. A. Douglass, Ren- ben Bacon, A. Watson, A. Pannell, J. H. Bar- ror, W. H. Gunnell, Perry Carson. Jos. Wiltiams was elected temporary chair- ™map, and said he hoped there would be fair lay, which had ever characterized the Seventh Vard meetin: This election he hoped wouid augur the defeat and confusion of their ene- mies, and the success of their own party at the next municipal election. Last spring there went forth from this ciiy to the country at large asbout of trivmph for their enemies, and th - result was that we now have in the United States Congress ninevy democrats instead of thirty as last year. [Voice.— t see the oint!”"} Peatter choosing K. W. Thompson as temporary secretary, the clair called for nominations for resident of the club. F. A. Boswell, Perry Rider, and Anthony Bowen were put in nomi- nation, but Mr. Bowen subsequently withdrew. Afier some debate as to the manner of voting, teljers were decided on, and took their station at the door, the crowd passi: out between them. It had previously been decided that a majority should elect. Mr. Boswell said he saw a number of ¥ACES FROM OTHER WARDS and he hoped they would remain in their seats while the voting took place—a tair show was what they wanted. Perry Carson said they came here to-night to harmonize, and he wanted to hear the senti- ments of the ward—he desired to ask the Chair if he thought the sentiments of the people were present? The vote was then taken and as the crowd d to the door there were lively shouts tor “Boswell! Boswell!” In atout half an hoar the tellers announced 244 votes recorded, of which number Boswell received 140 and Kider 104. A tremendous shout went up as the result was announced. Mr. Boswell advanced and said: Fellow-Re- | ecm of the Seventh Ward, [ thank you om the bottom of iny heart for this renewed expression of your confidence in me. In presiding as your chief officer I shail respect all alike who are true republicans. I go into the field in common with you all, for the success of the party, which is paramount to individual suc- cess. I go with the party, and promise to sup- port iv nominees, to aid in healing the wounds of the party; and I trust that the result of tu night is but a corerunner of the future glorious omens ior the party in the Seventh Ward. Al! 1 ask is for you to designate when you will hold your regular meetings, and let us see if har- Len good teeling will notin the future rey ail. P P. Rider was then elected vice president. by @ rising vote; K.J. Collins, secretary, and Anthony Bowen, treasurer. Adjourned. tea Ligvt.
