Now, is, I believe, a necessity, but a bill of vastly more tmportance to the citizens and per- sons erecting houses in this city is the bill for the appointment of an Inspector of Plumbing for this District. AS you are aware, there are now being erected here some of the finest and most expensive private houses. In some of these buildings the plumbing work {s being lit- terally botched by unprincipied mechanics, who have to take their work so low from the butld- ers that they actually cannot pay their material bills and labor, and of course skin their work at every turn. They throw in tMelr pipes in any manner and cover them up out of view as soon as possible; more especially the drain and Soll pipes, and there ts no one to check them in their villainous work. The architect is not go- ing to crawl over joists and climb long ladders to examine tne work, and tf he did so the chances ure ten to one that he could not detect the fraud, not having Fey esr eye the inspector of plumbing should have. This Officer should be a thoroughly practical and in- telligent plumber, who would enforce tions for tue proper erection of soil and in pipes without fear or favor. It isto be ho} ‘hen. that our honorable and efficient Commis- sioners will urge the pa of this bill, as it 4s a well know? fact that what J have sald about this matter ts true in every sense. ‘May 2, 1sso. HYDRAULICS. The People’s Park. Editor Star:—Ot course, I bave been interested in the various communications and poems my article ou the Rock Creek Park In your issue of May Ist bas called forth. I have been pleased, also, that among all those whom I have aj roached on the subject, not one has etther ol ed to the idea, doubted the necessity of it, or dissented trom any of the propositions there Jaid down. I was, however, very much surprised one day to hear a gentleman on F street say, concerning my letter, “On, that is some ‘jou? somebody 1s trying to work up.” Now, Mr. Editor, I had not intended to do any- thing more than draw public attention to this matter, and let those with influence and reputa- on, ane regard sor the public weltare, take hold Of it If they felt so inclined; but when my mo- tive has been so grossly misconceived I can hardly withold a personal explanation, which might not have been needed had | had assurance ghough to sign my name in full to my first letter. ‘The immediate cause of my first communtca- tion was the discove: y made on a recent Visit to my old haunts, that a great number of large forest trees had been cut down for fire wood, and several bare, unsightly quarries had been opened tn the moss-grown Mchen-clothed ledges, My heart sank within me to see my domain so Tuthiessiy invaded, and what sad havoc one careless hand could produce in a few short Weeks; and I thought how soon I should look in. vain for the glory and beauty of this fairy land. I think there Was good cause, then, for my boomy ea earnestness and warmth, though Imay have shown more feeling than discretion im saying the capitatists ht make what Bithy lucre they could out of the measure so Jong as we (the people) have the park for our Test and refreshment. ‘The fact is, about three years ago I prepared @ resolution at one of the business meet of the Washington Art Club, to the effect that a committee of three be appointed to draw up a memorial to Congress, praying tat certain por- tions of the Kock Creek region be set aside as a National Park.

I cannot agree with one of your correspond- ents, however, that aroad should be cut tarough the place at once so the people can get to it and see what it fs Such a road, before definite are made, might greatly impair the anty of the place, and moreover it would lead to the establishment of innumerable drinking saloons. shooting galleries, peanut stands and all the other abominations’ the travelled thor- Oughfare on the outskirts of a large city ts wont to breed.

I have no wish to enter the controversy, if any there be, on either side. I believe that each member of the commission destres, as far as he knows how, to do what 1s best In the matter. I do not write, then, to antagonize Mr. Whyte, but to controvert impressions emboddied in his Words, and which, though often held here in Washington, are nevertheless erroneous, and, if allowed to prevail generally, tiey wili defeat tbe very Cos ns for which an observatory should be equipped. ‘The statement is made that “The people must pay for the observatory, and we ‘ant it where it will do them some ” True; Lat what 1s the ‘some good he Senator says: “Mr. Morse and I hold that the new obser- yatory should be erecied somewhere near the city, upon a commanding spot and accessibdle,so U.al citizens here, members of Congress and visitors at Washington may enjoy gofng there and looking through the telescope.” In short, he seems to Uuink, with others, that the object Of the observatory ts to furnish a peep show for sight-seers, If that {s the purpose for which the People pay their money, then divide the sum ap- propriated, purchase less expensive telescopes, Set them up at conventent points of thecountry, or, Better silll, send the professors out travel. ing with tue instruments, so that every person Of the land may get a peep for his penny.

Jupiter is Lt dd and the cae pact of much account during the month. ' He will bea brilliant object in the lovely June morn- ings, as he leads the starry host and holds his court without a rival in luster, size and bright- ness. Those who have watched his movements Will note his increasing magnitude and bril- Mancy as with acceleratiog speed he rolls ma- jestically onward in his orbit towards his pert- elion and opposition with the sun, traveling towards the earth as wellas the great cen- tral orb, whose disturbed cendition may be par- tially Owing to the attraction of his huge Tass. If the planet Neptune was discovered or supposed to exist on account of certain perturbations in the movements of Uranus, and if the erratic movements of Mercury reveal the presence of planets within bis orbit, why should not the near approach of Jupiter to the ‘sun stir up a commotion in his flery elements? The sun ts still diverstfied with spots, and the Planet is near enough to perihelion to make his Influence felt. Astronomers have been wise prophets thus far as to the influence of the com- Mencement of the sun-spot cycle. Tornadoes and cyclones of extreme severity have borne witness to abnormal conditions of the atmospnere,and a wave of intense heat, such as has not occurred for a quarter of a century at this season of the year, bas confirmed the exactn of previous’ observations, We must expect the usual storms, waves of lh and auroral displays that follow the m: mum of sn spots; we have yet to learn whet the coincident perthelia of the four great planets Will increase and prolong the elemental warfare. ‘This 1s one of the most futeresting problems of the day, as well as one of the most practical ard important. It will not meet with a hasty Solution, for the period of observation extead: to the year 1885. Herschel, the great astrono- mer, sald that “sun spots influenced the pric of corn.” ‘This assertion 1s easily understood for neat, drought and storms exert a influence on harvests, and it these are the value of what remains 13 Increased. Stu- dents of astronomy will therefore regard with | especial interest the movements ot Jupiter tn | the morning sky, while they ponder upon the | Inysterious link that unites in one harmo: | Whole the members of the solar family.

Saturn is morning star, and holds his place not far away from his more brililant rival He, too, the second In size of the giant members of the brotherhood, 1s traveling towards his oppo- sition with the sun, and more slowly towards perihelion, so that he fs increasing in size and donning a clearer Unt than the murky one that has marked his presence. He rises now at haif- past two, a half-hour after Jupiter; at the ent of the month, about halt-past twelve. Venus 18 morning star, and travels so near the sun as to be entirely hidden from mortal vision. Ske rises now a few minutes before four; at the close of the month only about a quarter of an hour before the sun. The beautiful planet in this portion of her orbit 1s, therefore, apparent- Jy blotted out of the celestial map, but she ts only eclipsed in the solar glow, and will re- appear before the summer bas fulfilled its course. Mars Is evening star. His ruddy glow ts paling and his size diminishing as he wends hls way towards the sun and tnercases his distance from the earth. He sets now a quarter before eleven; at the end of the month about half-past nine, Uranus ts evening star, still wandering among the small stars of Leo, and too far from the earth to be visible without the aid of the tele- scope. He sets now about eleven; at tl nd of the month not far from ten. Mercury is evening star after the 2d, when he reaches his superior conjunction with ‘the sun. He then rises and sets with the sun, being apparently joined to him as the word “‘conjunc- tion” implies. He sets therefore about half-past seven, and commences his oscillation eastward from the sun in the straight line in which he seems to, move, belbg too near to be visible. The Jane moon fullson the 22d. The morn- ing sky of the 2d will show a lovely picture of the wantng crescent of the old moon, near to the orilliant Jupiter and his less distinguished rival, Saturn, On the th, one day before her change, she will be near Venus. ‘The new moon of the 7th will be near Mercury on the sth, Mars onthe lithand Uranus on the 1ith, and the Waning moon on the 30th will again pay her re- Spects to Jupiter. On the 22d there will be a Volal eclipse of the moon, which will be Inv!- sible in this portion of the globe, but will be partly visible in the western part of the Unt- ted States, and entirely visible in the Pacific ocean. Events are somewhat monotonous on the Planetary records of the month. The visible pianets are evenly divided, Jupiter, Saturn and enus doing duty as morning stars; Uranus, Mars and Mercury being numbered as evening Stars, Jupiter takes the lead in interest, an We may expect to hear the report of observers concerning the great red spot that glows Se bis disk.

As the young Duchess of Connaught is expected shortly to add another member to the already large circle of the Queen’s grandchildren; so all the duttes of royally develve upon the ‘Prince and Princess of Wales. As to the Queen herself, she is never seen in London unless she comes up from Windsor especially for some public ceremonial, and then she remains as short a time as possible in the city, always going back to Windsor before night. Even the number of presentations at the draw- ing-room 1s restricted, because she will not en- dure the fatigue of receiving for more than two hours at a time. Should the number of ladies to be presented prove so large as to take up more time than the allotted two hours, she will unceremontously take her departure, and leave the Princess of Wales to act in her stead. But a presentation to the princess 1s by no means considered in the same light a3 is one to the Queen, and se at every drawing-room there is a great desire on the part of those to be Presented to get thel1 names among the first of those inscribed upon the list, so as to be sure of kissing the finger tips of veritable royalty. The Queen might very well, one would think, re- main until the very last, as her presence at the Grawing room 1s the only social manifestation of any kind that she has permitted herself to make since thedeath of Prince Albert. She never goes even to the opera or the theater, she never drives in the park. and she mews up the luckless Princess Beatrice as closely as though she were a cloistered nun, instead of a marri- ageable young lady of royal blood. No one ever sees the Princess in public with the Prince and Princess of Wales, as she remains buried With her mother in dreamy seclusion from one year’s end to another. MILE. ALICE RgGNAULT, one of the prettiest actr sses of Paris, is not happy. Her portrait, en amazone, by Boldini, has attracted much attention at the Salon. The picture, it appears, Was painted by permission of the lady, who sat, Several times to the artist at his request, on the understanding that she should have the por- trait when completed if she liked it. When it was about to be. sent to the Salon she invited the opinion of several friends, who were so Pleased with 1t that she asked the artist to puta pice on it. The gallant painter vowed that the onor she had done him in sitting for her Portratt was more than ample compensation for his labor, and offered her the canvas. She ac- cepted, and regarded the portrait from that ‘Uine as her own property. She was, however, Somewhat disagreeably ‘surprised a’ few days ago at receiving a letter from the artist, who regretted that he could not deliver the paint- ing, as ithad been seen and purchased by a rich amateur. The lady insisted, however, on having the portrait, and told the artist to fix his own price, whereon he gallantly and modestly estimated its value at £1,000, Mile. Alice Regnault refused to pay the sum, and has asked the law to decide whether the artist has any right to sell her likeness, and perhaps the ex- planations she can give will induce the judges to decide in her favor. An analogous case oc- curred last year, when a platonic admirer of ambetta ordered a sculptor to make his bust and her own. The conditions of the order stipu- lated that the two statues should be adialtted to the Saion, and both of them fouad favor in the the jury, although the hum- ze paid to the “young dictator” displeasing to Mr, Gambetta, who looked Jack-in-the-box of Hebrew persua- : som sion, that he procured {ts removal through the influence of his friend and colleague, Mr. Tur- quet.

She lost the day, and the court laid down as agen- eral ra’e that 10 fs not permitted to execute and exbibit the bust of any public man or im- portant personage without having first obtained ‘Lelr consent and approval. A Reminiscence of Lincoln. In a recent letter from Chicago to the Cincin- nati Enjuirer, George Alfred ‘Townsend gives the following interesting reminiscence of Mr. Lincoln: As an interesting coincidence I met last even- ing George Harding, of Phitadelpbla, who was es Gs with Edward M. Stanton aod Abra- ham Lincoln tn trying the celebrated McCor- Inick reaper casein Cincinnati about 1856, With the money gained in this case it is sald Mr. Lincoln was able to spare the time to de bate with tt ec and thercby acquire the pominence which made him Prestdent. Mr. Harding is in the prime of his life. In response to some questions, Mr. Harding said: “Stanton and I had been employed in the suit of MceCor- mick vs. Mowry for infringement of patent in the reaper. We found it was necessary to have a Jawyerin the state of [linois. The only lawyer we knew of out here was Mr. Arnold, and we wrote to retain him, but found that MeCormick had got nim already. Then we sent to Washburne—the same who 1s now a candidate for President—and asked him if he knew of any lawyer proper for us to employ in iilinois, id there was a man named Lincoln well spoken of in practice, wio Hved in the middle of the state. We could not find, however, the first name of this Lincoln. We inquired in various directions, and nobody knew any thing aboutthim. Finally I got a copy of the Legal Directory, published in New York. We found simply Jincotn,’ and wrote to that man and retained him. The re- taining fee was $500.” “Did you win the case?” “Yes, we won it in the courts below and above. Besides his contingents, Mr. Lincoln & got something a litle more respectable—I UbInk $5,000." “T have heard, Mr. Harding, that you and Stanton were not much impressed with Lincoln. at that ume.” “No, we did not give him any chance at all. loften look back to that first meeting with sadness, yet pleasure. Stanton and I, belag Eastern nen, and not much familar with lawyers on the frontier, took our inventory of Lincoln too hastily. He was a qucer-looking Man, with queer talk, and we just put bim down for a nobody. Stanton rode right over him, and did not allow him to appear in the case to make a speech; yet all the while there lay in that queer man’s heart a desire to be loved and respect and when he became President of the United States, greatly to my surprise, I found myself nominated for Judge of the Court of Appeals in the Patent Office. Thinking how we had bully-ragged that poor old man, I called on him, and he shook me by le and Cae ee wacne an t aoe made up my m! fo appoin’ ever gol elected Ido not know whether you voted for me or not,’ he said, with a quizzical smile, ‘but I hope you did. Anyhow,’ he added, ‘I wanted to nominate you to sometht I had to decline the office; but whenever I think of the smali amount Of charity we showed poor Lincoln, and the immense amount of pss feeling he had for us notwithstanding, I feel that nobody. can measure the greatness of his simple heart. Stanton, too, came to me and safd in a whisper: ‘Harding, we rather mistook that old fellow, didn’t we?’ He forgave Stanton, too, and put it all down to the misunderstandings of locali- ce and so Stanton became associated with fame.” PROFESSOR GEIGER sat in an easy chair on the deck, one very pale.

The churches complain of the importunity of applicants tor their vacant pulpits, A certain class of imper- tnent and persistent candidates defeat their own purpose and bring a reproach upon others by the means they employ to call themselves Where God does not call them. To listen to the callot the Lordis one thing—to call one’s selt in the name of the Lord is quite another.—Re- ligious Herala, — The condition of our Baptist cause in and about San Francisco 1s to the last degree melan- choly, The state convention has just met at Sacramento, and the committee on resolutions reported one expressing condemnation of the course of the two Kallochs, father and son. But on a point of order, raised by the elder Kalloch, the resolution was tabled by a vote of 46 to 36. In ordinary circumstances no state convention can be a disciplinary body. But when one Bap- Ust minister commits murder, and another is guilty of promoting: Sedition, it is within the province of any number of Baptist men meeting logether to express their abhorrence of the con- auct of such men. If there is no power in the Bapust denomination of California to condemn So great an evil as Kallochism, it is in so bad a way that it might fittingly receive the pity of a community of Kaftirs.—£xaminer and Chroni- cle, —Several religious and more secular papers have the following statement: “It isa significant Tact that New York city now has but twenty- six Presbyterian churches, which is just the number 1t had thirty years ago.” This is called a ae ee fact.” What it “signifies” tt would be hard to say, but it is very far from being a fact; it is not the truth, nor anything like the truth. By the last report made by L. E. Jackson, esq., secretary of city missions, there are at the present time in the city of New York 53 Presbyterian churches and 2 Presby- terian chapels with pastors, making 8{ Presby- terlan congregations in reguiar standing, and doing appropriate church work.

All e all, never had such a good Ume in all my life.” raps and Belts, It 1s a habit in some of the schools and col- Jeges for youths to employ a strap or other form of belt for holding up their trousers; one boy sets the example, and the others think 1t Tight to follow; so the ewes becomes general, and you finda tight line indicating pressure marked round the bodies of the wearers. For- tunately, In their case, as they emerge into lffe, and before great mischief is done, they give up the strap, and take to supporting the clothes from the shoulders by the brace, and s0 they escape further injury; but while it lasted the injury undoubtedly was severe. ‘There is another and more permanent injury of this kind, however, carried out by boys— cay PTDOeS Gh cee Lig ss belt ‘or the purpose of giving what is called sup- port. they who are about to run in or to leap, put on the belt and buckle it tightly, in order, as they say, to hold in their wind,’ or breath. Working-men who are about to lift. weights or carry heavy burdens put on a belt for thesame purpose, their declaration belng that it gives support. Actually there is not a particle of truth in this belief. It ts the ex- ee of a fashion, and nothing more. The At impeoes respiration, compresses the ab- domipal muscles, compresses the muscles of the back, subjecting them to unnecessary trietion, and actually impedes motion. No boy would think of putting a belt tightly round the body of his pony if he wished it to win a race or to ip a hurdle; no working-man would put a belt tightly round the pody of a horse to make it pull with greater facility a joad which it was drawing. On themselves they Commence the practice because somebody has set the example, then they get accustomed to the impediment, and think they can not get on without it. Drinking is learned by just the same absurd process. Respecting this belt for boys and men there is a word more I must say, which 1s of serious ‘mport. Whenthey put on the belt for the sake of performing some feat of strength, they risk another dangerous mischief. Compress- ing the abdomen, they force, during the ex- ertion, the contents of the abdominal cavity downward under pressure, giving no chance to resilience back again after the exertion or shock. In this way they frequently cause hernia, or rupture. I have seen several tn- ‘stances of this occurrence in boys, and amongst workmen who wear belts this disease is so com- mon that it is the rule rather than the excep- ‘Uon to find it present. oe Origin of Amber. Nearly 2,000 years ago, Pliny, the naturalist, Wrote that amber was the fossil resin of an ex- tinct cone-bearing tree, and modern science can say of it but little more. The original Fes eee forest probably reached trom Holland over the German coast, through Si- berla and Kamschatka, even to North America. One of the most celebrated deposits is on the peninsula of Samland, a portion of Prussia, early surrounded by the Baltic Sea. The northern part of this region, constituting the promontory of Brusterort, is hilly, and the coast banks are often 150 feet to 300 feet me At one time all the amber found here, even by the peasants in ploughing, belonged to the German government, the finder, however, re- ceiving one-tenth of its value. For a piece in the Berlin Museum, weighing 18 pounds, the finder is said to have received a thousand dol- lars. During stormy weather, when the wind and waves beat violently against the coast, a great quantity of amber is washed up. The to- tal yearly product is, however, apparently on the decrease, and so the price of amber 1s on the increase. Professor Zaddach, of Konigsberg, concludes that the trees yielding the amber resin must have grown upon the green-sand beds of the cretaceous formation, which at the time formed the shores of estuaries where tke lower divis- ion of the tertiary accumulated. Immediately over the oe cht brown-coal beds, the plants found in which differ entirely from the amber-bed flora. Many insects and plants are found embalmed in the amber. Over S00 species of the former have beea named, and over 160 of the latter. Realism on the Stage. (N. ¥. Letter.) Speaking hoster diol I went to an amateur entertatnisent tor the efit of some orphans, at the Germania Theater, last Sunday evening, and saw a lack of them. There were tableaux, anda seriesof them related to the experiences of “Maud Muller.” The girl who personated “Maud” was the daughter of a moderately wealthy German merchant, aged eighteen, exceedingly pretty, and, as Iam in- formed, a most respectable and refined young lady. What was my it to see her in the tableau, literally “Looking down At her graceful ankles, bare and brown.” Yes; there was no doubt about it. I sat in the very front seat, within ten feet of her. She had sacrificed herself wholly to the require- ments of art. Her sha little ~ her deli- cate ankles, and even her swelling calves, half way to her knees, were actually bare. ‘Their color, though she was a very dark only fairly represented the tan of the sun; the tion was at once a novelty and a suc- cess. “How did she come to do it?” I inquired of committee. one well? hi lied, “‘she did hesitate at ue 5 « first; but we argued that it would be a great attraction, and she said she would make al- most any sacrifice for the orphans.” ‘Whisper—my own explanation—she had re- markably perfect fect and ankles and knew iw > soleil alate eben 2 Fo batr can be worn so naturally as tomake lt dimicult to tell whlch is switch, 82" Well wishers—Thirsty travelers. 5 An old ‘@ fish does not suffer Tea the cronget of nee tis ealgee Will be Tied about that caures him anguish.

There perhaps {s nothing marking the Eng- lish spoken in this country which gives rise to so much concern as the asserted prevalence of fang; certainly there 1s nothing more common than the deprecation of its use. It is often Spoken of as the chiet danger which threatens Ube English tongue, at least as employed by us. Mest of us have probably heard or read asser- Uons to that effect, many of us have possibly made such assertions ourselves; yet no evidence has ever been brought forward to show that more slang is produced or used in this country than in England. That what ts produced here is far more racy, varied and vigorous is plain enough from thé appreciation it meets there. But even if it be conceded that our soil is more favorable to its growth, that need rot be looked upon as a great calamity.

R. Lounsbury in International Review, “Eating Crow.” In view of the fact that crow is likely to be a Columon if not a popular dish with members of both political parties for the next few weeks, the public may be interested in knowing how that pecullar “feed” first came into vogue. The editor of a western paper, who no doubt, ex- pects elther to regale his own stomach with a siberal supply or else to have the pleasure of Seeing Uother fellow do the eating, has explored the lterature of the subject and found that the first allusion to “eating crow” was made in the Porter a Magazine a dictte more a a quarter of a century ago. It was a story of a Summer boarding-house keeper on the Hudson and of an indignant patron. Whenever the latter ventured to suggest that the spring chicken was rather tough, or that the roast beef must have been cut from the cow's hoofs, he was directly told that he was en- Urely “too pertickerler,” and that the auto- rat of the table and the house could eat any- thing. even a crow.
