It certainly is in no sense useful.” To the same class of young persons in this city the remarks are entirely ap- plicable. From G.

Among those present were Commissioner Dent, Col. D. B. Anger, Col. P. H. Allabach, Maj. M. M. Parker, Wm. Dickson, H. Browning, Hon. B. K. Bruce, E. G. Davis, M. I. Weller, J. P. D. Phelps, L.

The meeting was called to order by Mr. William H. Morrison, Mr. S. A. Cox acting secretary. A temporary organization was perfected by electing Commissioner Dent as chairman and Mr. Cox secretary. Mr. George W. Cochran said that in the inception of the movement it was n and important that they secure working men to fill the positions of officers, and care should be taken in choosing these gentlemen. Mr. Edwards moved the appointment of a com- mittee on permanent organization. Mr. Coch- ran suggested that the committee should not be hurried, and should have time to make a thor- ough canvass—to select the very best men. Col. Ford moved that the committee be given until Wednesday night to report, and when the meeting adjourn it be to that time. Both mo- tions were put and carried. The secretary here stated that Capt. Henry, U.S. marshal, regretted that he could not be present, and said that he ee H.) had recently come from the White Touse, and that the President was very much better and stronger than he was 24 hours before. (Applause.) The committee on organization was announced as follows: James 8. Edwards, H. Browning, John T. Gir E._G. Davis, G. W. Cochran, W. Dickson and W. H. Morrison. Mr. Browning suggested that_the committee retire and report to-night. Mr. Cochran claimed that by that course they would make no pro- gress, for they could not ascertain whether the persons nominated would serve. The meeting adjourned to Wednesday next. esas Bastia A Handsome Window. Without doubt the most elaborate and also the finest stained glass window yet put up in Washington is one placed in All Souls’ Church recently by Judge Richardson, of the Court of Claims, in loving rememberance of his wife, who, it will be remembered, died in Paris several years ago, while on a tour of information and pleasure around the world. The window, which is Gothic in form, is di- vided, below the base of the pointed arch, into two sections of equal size for purposes of illus- tration, which is scriptural in character and treated throughout in a le suitable to the subject. The upper sectigf represents Martha going out to meet our Lérd after the death of Lazarus. Christ stands glothed in a light gray under-robe, with outer mantle of deep crimson, his head encircled by an aureole of pale purple. Martha wears a light graycoif; surrounded by a Tich golden aureole, and a mantle of yellow. Over the figure of Christ runs His assurin; words, “Iam the resurrection and the life; beneath is Martha’s half reproachfal appeal: “Lord, if Thou hadst been here my brother had not died.” The lower section shows Christ _sit- ting in the house of Martha, with Mary kneeling at his feet, while Martha stands by her side, holding in her hand an oriental bowl. To give variety to the design and add richness to the general effect the colors in this panel are ar- ranged differently trom those above. Christ’s aureole here is blue, and_his robe a russet-lilac gray. The aureole of Martha is a shaded or brownish yellow, while her robe is of richly em- broidered gray and gold stuff, with tight fitting sleeves, of blue. Mary wears a crimson boddice or waist, with deep blue over-mantle, while the halo surround- ing her head is purplish red. Under- neath this picture are the words “Mary hath chosen that good part.” Below all comes the memorial inscription, in church text, as follows: “In memory of Anna M. Richardson, wife of Wim, A; Wehardson. “Born Nov. 28, 1827. Died The figures are in each case dignified and graceful, and while the faces are simply treated, in what might almost be called pre-Raphael- ite style, the expression is natural and pleasing, and the whole effect much better and more ar- tistic than is usually seen in work of this class. The borders and the dividing line between the jin sections are of a aconventional leaf design, in suitable colors. The arch or point of the | window above the scriptural scene is well man- | aged, being treated to represent the sub-arches and towers of an ecclesiastical Gothic temple. The colors, while deepand rich, are yet well sub- dued in tone, and harmonious in effect, and the work is inthe highest degree appro- priate and effective throughout. We are sorry we cannot add that the window is the work of American artists, but itis not. The designs were furnished and the whole executed by Messrs. Clayton & Bell, of London, who had a carte blanche commission, and, as they say, did their best to justify it. We may addyas illus , | trating this point, that they have since been en- trusted with the charge of doing some similar work for Westminster Abbey. pases . What the Patient Should Have, To the Editor of Tug Eventne Star: Although I am intimately acquainted with General Garfield, and equally so with three of his attending surgeons, I could not hope to reach either of them, directly, with a note whilst the immense mail is pouring into them from the multitudinous suggesters. But I know the sur- geons read Tue Star, and the President does also, when permitted. 'So, in your columns, as amicus medicus,I wish to say to my friends, Bliss, Barnes, et al., that the best thing they can | do for their patient, at this juncture, is to zet a | real fresh egg, (one Just dropped.) put the yolk in a goblet of ordinary size, add four teaspoons- full of granulated sugar, stir them well with an egg mixer, add a small quantity of fresh rich , stir again; add one teaspoonful of the ‘ole Cognac brandy; stir well azain; fill the goblet with milk, and stir finally.

As was expected, there was a large attendance at the camp to-day, the trains from the city bringing more people than on any one day since camp commenced, excepting Sunday; while from the country there must have been ‘at least be- tween three and fourhundred vehicles. The ser- vices of the day were all well attended, the tabernacle on Stay oe see being filled to over- flowing; but in giancing over the co1 ition. the question might pertinently be asked, “Where are the,men?” as more than three-fourths of those present are women. Of the people coming in from the country to-day the ladies generally attended the religious services, while the men were engaged in that secular occupation called polities. DISCUSSING THE POLITICAL. SITUATION. Everywhere were to be seen candidates pre- senting their viewsand claims as to why they should receive the nomination. The officers to beelected in this county are one state senator, three members of the lower house, five commis- sioners, one sheriff and one surveyor. There are four candidates for senator, eleven for seats in the lower house, fifteen or twenty for commts- sionerships, four for sheriff, and two for sur- veyor. There are few, if any, of the country people who escape being buttonholed, and the wire-pulling that is going on cannot be esti- mated. But few of the candidates are absent, and all are assiduous in their labor of try- ing to get as many votes as possible in the convention, which meets next Saturday afternoon. The general opinion is that the present incumbent, Mr. Peter, will re- ceive the nomination for senator and A. Cle- ments the nomination for sheriff, and although some say that the nomination is equivalent to an election, yet there seems to be so much bit- terness among the candidates that there are many who think if the elections and canvass is not managed with great circumspection the republicans, who are greatly in the minority in this county, will, with the assistance of the dis- affected candidates, carry the day. A caucus was held this afternoon, at which were present several of the candidates and their supporters. It was called for the purpose of trying to effect a combination that would receive the united support of the majority of the candidates in the convention, and thereby secure the nomination of their ticket. Nothing positive, however, was accomplished, but it is expected that another caucus will be held before the camp breaks up. A DEATH AT LAYTONSVILLE. News reached the camp of the death of Howell G. Crawford at 8 o'clock this a.m., at Laytonsyille, a few miles from here. He was afflicted with bilious dysentery, the same disease that caused Mr. Mobbly’s death last week. Two sisters of the deceased, Misses Minnie and Blanche, as well as an only brother, are allsick with thesame malady. The funeral will be held to-morrow and will be largely attended, as Mr. Crawford stood high in the community. The services will be conducted by the Rev. C. M. Brown, of the M. E. Church S THURSDAY'S SERVICES. ‘The regular family prayer meeting in the large meeting tent was well attended this morning and was in charge of the Rey. W. W. Van Ars dale, of Bladensburg. The 8:30 meeting in the tabernacle was also largely attended. and was in charge of the same gentleman. This meeting consists principally of prayer and experience, and may properly be termed the preparatory meet- ing of the day—and the “old folks meeting,” for those that take part in it are chiefly the older Christians. At 10:30 the tabernacle was well filled, principally with ladies, whilearound about were the men in little groups discussing the. candidates, After the opening exercises the Hon. T. P. Morgan stated that a collection would be taken up, and as_the running expense per diem of the camp was $20 he hoped they would give liberally. The collectors passed the baskets around the audience, but it is doubtful if enough was obtained to pay the rental of a fair-sized hall. Yet it was suggested that these candi- dates should have been liberal, as the camp meeting afforded them such a splendid opportu- nity of canvassing the county. After the col- lection the Rey. Dr. Dashiels, the preacher of the morning, took for his text John, III chap., v. 10—And thou a master of Israel and knowest not these things.” At 2 o'clock THE CHILDRENS’ MEETING was held in the tabernacle, and was led by Rev. H.S. France. The lesson of the dayconsisted of scripture yer commencing with the letter ‘“‘E,” and there were fully seventy-five of the little ones ready when called on to repedi them. The meeting was addressed by Mrs. McKendree Reilly, who is so well adapted to talk to chil- dren. Whether these meetings are more inter- esting than the regular preaching or not it is hard to say, but there is better order in the circle and around the tabernacle during them, and every one seems anxious to hear all that is going At 3 p.m. the Rey. J. W. Smith, of Grace o church, corner 9th and § streets, preached from Daniel, chap. v., 30, the subject being the hand- writing on the wall. L At 6:30 the young people's meeting was held in the large meeting tent, and was presided over by Rey. H.S. France. The interest taken in this meeting bythe young folkson the grcund is such that the tent is not large enough to hold all who come. The meeting was addressed by Mrs. McKendree Reilly, who took such an interest in them last year. THE EVENING MEETING. By the time the bell rang for preaching at 7:30 o'clock, most of the visitors for the day had departed. Rey. W. Downs, of Waugh,had charge of the meetin; nd instead of preaching con- ducted it as a prayer meeting, closing with an exhortation of great power, inviting all who desired to become Christians to come forward, as now was the accepted time; now was the day of salvation. Although there were repeated invitations, none came forward. A sprinkler is expected to arrive to-morrow, so we may hope to be freed a little from dust. xt Tuesday will be sacramental day, and it is expected a large number of people will be present, as this is counted one of the best days of camp. THREE CARD MONTE. George Spates was swindled out ofabout £2 at the circus held in Rockville last T some three card monte sharpers. the money he borrowed it ona confessed judg ment, the borrowing, interest, &c., costing about $32. The swindiers got possession of the money, and a confederate got Spates to take a buggy ride with him, apparently to catch them. When they got back the swindlers had left, and the confederate made himself scarce. When Spates found he had been swindled, he con- sulted the state attorney, J. B. Henderson, and he advised him not to waste any more money in pursuit of the swindlers. Spates owns a sinall place, and is illy able to bear the Jos ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURE! Miles Gibbons was charged with working a horse that had the skin rubbed off his back. Vet- erinary Surgeon Cheaver testified that it was ut- terly impossible to work this horse without caus- ing the horse intense pain, The court imposed a@tine of $20 or 6 days. ‘Woman, was charged with causing a horse to be worked that was about in the same condition as the others. Mrs. Daily testifled that she has a large family, and the horse is her only support. Defendant's counsel asked the court to disi cruelty to fine her, under the circumstances, as it would to work the horse. Thecourt said that under these cireumstances he would only fine her $10. Jane H. Kline was charged with the same Offence, and the case was not made out, and was dismissed. Mr. King, on cross-examination by defendant's counsel, stated that he is paid $25 per month by the S. P.C. A., and gets one-fourth Of the fines. ee A Turevish SERVANT negro man, named Chas. Salter, was charged | the Police’ Court. yesterday ‘afternoon, with | BOg)* per dozens ei Francis E.

Nelson, about ten years old, was charged yesterday afternoon in he Police Court with cutting a white boy about his own age, named Charles Wallingsford, with aknife. The Wallingsford boy testified that he and the colored boy had a dispute on 11th street yesterday about some newspapers when Nelson drew a pocket-knife and cut witness in the back twice. He was fined $5, in default of which he was committed to jail for 15 days. Getrine Rip OF THE Banr.—Wednesday even- ing a white man called at Lieutenant Guy's sta- tion (fourth precinct) with a mulatto infant, stating that some one left itat his doorstep.

Finally the man said his wife had been unfaithful to him and this was 1; Squabs, $2.25a | hero! Te | cided to go A “Lively” Female Crank, GOING TO SAVE THE PRESIDENT WITH A DROP OF HER BLOOD—HER BLUE BATHING SUIT. About 8 o'clock this morning, while Police Officer Joshua McNeal was on duty at the north gate of the President's house, # stout-bulit ome. woman appfoached and beckoned to him. le served aside ‘to. speak with her, and she extended her hand.anii shook hands. The officer jerked his hand from her, and remarked, ‘What do you mean?” She said, ‘0, nothing; that is only the grip.” She threw up her hand and said: “T have come all the:way from Paristo save the President. All he-wants is a drop of blood from my right arm;,let me in at once, if I don't see him by 11 o'clock hé4s'a dead man.” Her manner and tone of voice was:very demonstrative, being more like that of a man. Of course a large crowd co! and blocked up the vA and she hadto'be removed. She insisted With a very authoritative manner in being taken at once to see President Garfield, and the offi- cer told her that she must have a pass. He said he would arrange it for her. The officer subsequently took her to Police headquarters in a Herdic cab. On the way she said she was no woman, and stripped. off her dress, revealing A BLUE FLANNEL BATHING SUIT, trimmed with white—a regular ladies’ bathing suit, with pants and short frock. In this attire she was taken into the detective’s office, a large crowd following. She is short, thick-set, with full round features, short black hair, black eyes, and wears a heavy pair of cowhide shoes. She is full of talk and frolic, and entertains the crowd vastly. Her age appears to be about 25 years. She says she was born in Brooklyn, of German descent, and isa married woman. She gives her name as Mary Pauline Remeric, and in shaking hands with every one gives them A PECULIAR GRIP, which she says isa Templars’ grip. She says she has a railroad pass, and another which she exhibits, as follows: “ BattrMore, August 18, 1881. Friend Kin You will oblige me very much by giving the bearer, Mary Pauline Remeric, a pass to Washington.’ Yours, &c., Epwarp E. JENKINS.” The crowd in the detective office grew so dense, and her loud and demonstrative talking so exciting, that Officer Connell sent her toa private room, telling her that she must remain there until he secured her apass. He then got from her the of her parents at Brooklyn, and telegraphed to her mother. She will be re- tained until her relatives can be heard from. The | officers ¢ay thisisthe liveliest crank they everhad at police headquarters. A DISPATCH WRITTEN ON THE SAND AT THE SEA She says sh hattan Beach 5] written in the sand on the sea shore, telling her to go to Washington and cure the President by taking blood from her arm and transfusing it to the body of President Garfield; that Dr. Bliss had poisoned the President after Dr. Hamilton had him nearly cured, and that Bliss also poisoned himself. She says Bliss is no good, and that she can cure the President quicker than all the doc- tors together. She has discarded her own dress, and now wears her bathing suit, with short pants, long figured stockings amd a neat fitting pair of slippers, which she brought in her satchel, and with her hair brushed back, looks quite jaunty, but in her moments of excitement puts on the attitudes and style of an actress. A QUEER-LOOKING COSTUME. She appeared first on the streets early this morning. Her strange appearance attracted much attention. She was a sort of mermaid. Her costume was amphibious. It consisted of a skirt of figured lawn, and a waist or jacket which belonged to a bathing suit. Then she had an enormous poke bonnet, elaborately decorated with ribbons. She wore silk-embroidered stock- ings and velvet slippers, carried areticule, besides a bundle containing the waist or basque which probably belonged to the lawn skirt. The sleeves of the jacket were short—cut away at the shoul- ders, displaying a pair of plump arms, adorned with coral bracelets. On one of her fingers she wore a large seal ring. The showy elegance of her slippers and stockings made some who saw her think she was a graduate from the variety stage. She was bright and fresh looking, rather attractive in appearance and was apparently about twenty-eight years of age. Such was the gorgeouscreature who made her appearance at the White House gate for admission before 8 o'clock this morning. Of course she was re- fused. She adjourned at once to Lafayette park, across the street, and took possession of one of the benches, where she could observe what happened across the way. Her singular appearance ensured her plenty of company, as a large crowd of hoodlums ass bled about her seat and freely discussed her “get up” and the probable nature of her errand to the White House. Sergeant Dinsmore, to whom all the “cranks” who come to the White House are turned over, went over to the park to interview her, with the result above stated. She said she did not know what the crowd was doing around her as she was not violating any law. WHAT SHE WROTE. She said she would write something about her- self, and being furnished with a piece of paper she scribbled the following over it in lead peneil : “ Bill, Raush, politigian, Raube near Elizabeth.

She said her name was Pauline Pemnie, that she was from Manhattan Beach, and that her object in visiting Washington was tosee Pres- ident Garfield, who, she said, was her godfather. She talked fluently, and occasional ruck an at- titude worthy of a dramatic rea She com- plained very much of a doctor, who, she said, had tried to place her in an insane asylum, and seemed anxious to meet him, when, she said, she would “fix” him.

To the Editor of Tae Evexixa Stan: Ocean Grove, N.J., August 17, 1881. In the Evesina Star of the 18th instant I notice an article entitled “The Berkeley Springs Ticket Cases,” in which the follow statement is made: “The railroad pena | sy the costs and returned the money y them (the plaintiffs) under protest in both cases, amount- ing to less than €20.” I desire to say that the railroad company, in order to avoid another senseless trial, which would decide nothing, agreed to pay the costs in both cases, but — tively refused to refund the money paid for fare. This proposition came from the plaintiffs them- selves, who expressed a desire to have the cases discontinued. The company was ready for trial, and the case would have proceeded had not the opposite.side suggested the settlement they did. The company have no doubt but that they are in the right, both legally and morally, and if the peopie of Washington think that it is too much trouble to have their tickets ee woe at Sir John’s Run, considering the great reduction in the price, I fear the road will discontinue their sale. Respectfully, &c., Joun B. LARNER. ————— The Courts. PropatEe Covrt—Judge Wylie.

William Sears, an elderly white man, was charged with assaulting a small boy named August Ruebson by striking him with a hatchet.

Tuk MaryLanp Ferry.—The franchise ofrun- ning the ferry between Alexandria and the Mary- land side just opposite isnow contested be- tween the little ferry steamer Virginia, under the management of Mr. Clarence Wheat, and a row boat of Mr. Richard Phillips’. It is under- stood to be contended that thesteamer sueceeds to the old ferry franchise and has the monopoly of carrying passengers for gain across the river. The ferry was originally established in 1730 and ran from Point West to Addison’s (now Shep- herd’s.) There were afterwards two ferries, one from Fishtown_and the other from the foot of Duke street. The upper ferry was removed in 1799 to the present location and the other ferry has been abandoned over fifty years. The steam ferry rate is 10 cents and the row boat rate 5 Some fisticuffs took place over the con- esterday, which were paid for at the mayor's this morning. ‘A'S SUGGESTION CarRIED OvT.—The change suggested in Tux Srar, by which the odorless method of doing the night scavenger’s is to be substituted for the present odor- ous work, will take place about the close of this month. The mayor will determine next Wed- nesday to which of the proposing contractors the work will be given, and immediately the new plan will be put into operation. The Washing- ton machines will probably be employed in the business. County Court.—The county court of Alexan- dria county will open its August term next Mon- day. The only business likely to engage the attention of the court fs the complaint of Messrs. Wright, Hatch and others that the Arlington road is not kept in order. _ It is quite likely that this case will be postponed until September, and the court adjourn almost as soon as it opens. CoorrD Troors From THE District.—The Lincoln Light Infantry, of Georgetown, and the Butler Zouayes reached here yesterday after- noon, and the colored population turned out en masse to receive them. They paraded the streets for some time, and then gave a dress drill at the Fair grounds, and were reviewed by the mayor and other officials. They returned at a late hour. —_.__ Presidential “Inability.” Correspondenee of the Chicago Times. Ex-Senator McDonald, while in the Senate, was regarded as a special suimonty on all sub- jects releing © ee Soe onl ah = aioe States. 1 a~¢d him night wl e eet of the discussion asto wc constitutes inability of the President, as define Dy the constitu- tion. Mr. McDonald said tl he bad not given the subject any special consider- ation, but th: he could not see any ssible construction that could be put upon The clause in the constitution that related to any- but mental inability. So long as the Pres- ident was mentally able to consider the proposi- tions submitted to him mere physical inability could not legally prevent him from performing executive acts. Upto Andrew Jackson's time Presidents signed all the land palaats, commis- sions and other documents relating to the exer- cise of executive authority. Since that time almost all of this work has been delegated to subordinates. The signing of land patents ts assigned to aland patent clerk, although the President may sign a patentif he chooses. There is no legal difficulty in the way of a man’s an- thorizing another to write his signature for him. Mr. Blaine, any Smember of the Cabinet, his private secretary or any clerk might be desig- nated to sign James A. Garfield to needed docu- ments. If a President were paral; and his mind yet remains clear, there co" be no ques- tion about his being abletodirect how the duties | of his office cor be legally performed.

It seems that Teil wanted gov ernment contract to furnish hay at $45 a ton for the Patronage ‘of Switzerland, let the-com of s be Austrian who had a big — ent further up the guich. One day Gessler his plug hat on a telegraph pole, and issued ‘236, regular series, to the effect that every snoozer down the toll road should bow to it. Gessler happened to be in behind the brush when Tell went by, and he noticed that Bill said, “Shoot the hat,” and didn’t salute it, so he told his men to gather Mr. Tellin, and put. him in the refrigerator. Gessler told him that if he would shoot a crab apple from the head of his only son, at 200 ean with a cross-gun he would give him his liberty, Tell consented, and knocked the apple higher than Gilroy's kite. Old Gessler, however, noticed another arrow sticking in William's girdle, and he asked what kind of a flowery break that was. Tell told him that if he had killed the kid instead of busting the apple, he intended to drill a hole through the stomach of Mr. Gessler. Thismade Gessler mad again, and he took Tell on a picnic up the river in irons. Tell jumped off when he got a good chance and cut across a bend in the river, and when the picnic party came down he shot Gessler deader than a mackerel. This opened the ball for freedom, and weakened the Austrian government so much that in the following No- vember they elected Tell to fill the long term and a half-breed for the short term. After that Tell was recognized by the ruling power, and he could get almost any contract that he wanted to. He got the service onthe stage line up into the Alps increased to a daily, and had the con- tracts in the name of his son Albert. The ap- propriation was increased to £150,000 a year, andhe had a good thing. Tell lived many years after this, and was loved by the Swiss people because he had freed their land. Whenever he felt lonesome he would take his crossgun and go out and killa tyrant. He had tyrant and toast almost every day till Switzerland was free, and the peasants blessed him as their de- liverer. When Tell got to be an old man he would go out into the mountains and apostro- phize them in the following memorable words: “Ye erazs and peaks, I'm with you once again. I hold to you the hands I held to you on pre- vious occasions, to show you they are free. Tine tyrant’s crust is busted, so to speak. His race is run, and he himself hath scooted up the flume.

The building in which the fair is held is situated in the Back Bay district, and covers an area of 300,000 square feet. As yet but few of the ex- hibitors have their machines and goods In place, owing to the short time at their command since the completion of the building.

Marvin Caprurep.—The chief of polos of Richmond received a telegram from 7. Mass., yesterday morning, informing him of the arrest in that city of Thos. Marvin, who last month, by false representations, betrayed Miss Lucie Turpin, a highly connected young lady of Richmond, into marriage and then de- serted her at Albion, N. Y., and who also ob- tained about $800 from the First National bank, of Richmond, by means of a forged draft on a Chicago bank. “He is reported in custody at Lynn, awaiting a requisition fromthe governor of Virginia, which will be forwarded. The feeling in Richmond against Marvin at the time his base operations were made public was intense, many persons expressing the opinion that he'should be summarily dealt with, some even going so far as to express a willingness to join in an attempt to take thelaw into their own hands and put an end to his career. 90 ee The formulated charges on which the Rev.
