To the Editor of Tax Evesixe Stan: Aconsiderable number of young people seem to Bave engage! in the enterprise of collecting bust- Ress cards. As proof of their success we note that Buch collections are offered for sale. In the view Of parents this new diversion may no doubt ap- pear laudsbie. By industriously appealing for €arde from door to door and store to store. the youth certainly may acquire one accompitsh- Hent—tet of begging. Such a begmning, well followed, will In Ume impart to the boy the heces- | Bary cheek to become ere long an undlushing bor- Tower of cigars and postage stamps, and even of Money. It really amount to practising first les- Sonsin mendicaney. To merchants this begging Js becoming an intolerable bore. Itis a mistake to immagine that they deem the circulation their cards may thus obtain ssa fair compensation for the Buisance. The appeal for @ card is usually re- to for the purpose of being rid of the sup- and at the same time to Maintain the repu- tion of the firm thus approached for uniform courtesy towart all customers. To the already Sufficiently overworked clerks this isa burden, the more intolerable eince it 's most an- Roying’on the busiest ay of the week, that Is on Saturday. Several thousands of children, and not enly children property #0 called, but boys old enough to be taught better manners and girls of an age when modesty should be deemed of more Nelue to Wem than all else, seem to be turned Joose to swarm the business streets, to the terror of shopkeepers and their employes. This brings an incalculable tncresse of duty with no correspond. | ing compensation whatever, either to master or Map, Dut on the contrary 15 perplexing to both, And in some cases tue vexatious proviem arises, how w mect this proftiess custom and how to evade It so that legitimate business be not {rus trated.

Down Father Boyle’s Death. ‘THE CIRCUMSTANCES ATTENDING IT—SOME FACTS ABOUT THE OPERATION PERFORMED AND THE AD MINISTRATION OF ETHER. Various conflicting statements have been made regarding the circumstances attending the death of Father Boyle, at Providence hospital, last Mon- @ay, some of which, it 1s claimed, heve done injustice to the physicians. The operation per- formed on Father Boyle was that known as Uthotrity, and not lithotomy, It differs from the latter operation by not involving an incision. An instrument known as the lithotrite 1s used, and ts fatroduced into the biadder by natural channels, subjecting the patient to very little suffering, or danger trom the operation. ‘The stone Is crushed by an ingentous appliance on this instrument, and the particles can then be easily washed away. A surgeon who was present when the operation was performed, and who is fully acquainted with the circumstances attending it, gives the following articulars to a Stan reporter. Instead of restst- ing the administration of ether, Father Boyle earnestly requested it, and insisted that no instru- ment should be used upon him until he was etherized, stating that he had used ether before and experienced no inconventence. ‘The stone was crushed perfectiy, aud while the surgeons were congratulating themselves upon the success of the operation, Father Boyle's head fell back, and he soon died, the cause of Geath being apoplexy or congestion of the brain. ‘The surgeon in charge of the patient's pulse at the same time noticed a sudden fluttering and then a cessation of the pulse-beats. The ether was administered with great care. ‘The surgecas are not prepared to say that the apoplectic condition was not superinduced by the administration of the ether. It was administered with all the usual safeguards, and there was no More reagon to expect a serous result than in other cases in which the same treatment has been successfully followed, expecially in view of the fact that Father Boyle represented tha’ he had taken ft before without suffering inconverlence. ee The South Washington Railroad Grievance. A MEETING OF CITIZENS LAST NIGHT AT WHICH A MEMOKIAL TO CONGRESS WAS ADOPTED—A SHARP WAR AGAINST THE RAILROAD COMPANIES PRO- POSED. Quite a large meeting of citizens, mainly those of South Washington, was held last. night, at St- Dominte’s hall, to consider the report of a com- mitte appointed, several months ago, by the com- mitte of one hundred citizens, looxing towards a Femoval of the tracks of the Baltimore and Poto- mac raflroad,from Virginia and Maryland avenues» and 6th street to a point further south, and drat & memorial and bill to present to Congress touching the grievances they have to complain of about this railroad company. There was quite a large attendance, and much Interest. was mani- fested. Mr. C. P. Culver called the meeting to order and explained Its objects. Dr. J. C. Morgan was chosen chairman, with Mr. E. D. Wright as secretary. Mr. Culver, as chairman of the execu- tive committe, who had charge of the subject, Tead a carefully written memorial prepared by him, to accompany the bill, which 1s to be presented to Congress, 4 MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS. ‘This memorial ts lengthy and very exhaustive In its treatment of the whole subject of alleged viola- tions by the railroad company of its charter, In making a common depot of the avenues and streets on Its line, and violation of law in laying more than two tracks through these avenues. It prays Congress to cause the removal of the tracks to K street south; submits a plan for their re- moval. and shows its feasibility; states many of the evils complained of by the alleged abuse of the franchise granted this company, and sets forth that there can be no objection to the plan proposed on” the part of any one. The memorial States that in lieu of a pes for relieving the avenues and streets of the railroad tracks and the nuisances attending them, En- ineer Commissioner Twining’s report to mgress concerning the proposed union depot was a report of how not to doit. The memorial suggests that the Baltimore and Ohio railroad can. bron defiect in Seoatienaty cere ion at ‘nsburg, approaching e city on the east side of the Bastern Branch. ‘and crossing that stream ator about the same point as that where the B.and P.railroad crosses it;the widening of the tunnel so as to make four instead of two tracks; the deflection of the tracks of this last named road from the direction now taken, where it emerges from the tunnel to K street southwest,and 80 on Cs 591, S89, 541 and 542, situated be- tween and 43, and H and K_ streets southwest, where should be located the union depot for passengers and express freight, the ere south of and contiguous fo the square to be devoted to other freight; the roads to con- tue over elevated tracks of sufficient height so as not to interfere with travel upon the streets on the line of K street to Water ‘Street, and in the Same Manner over Water street to the Long bridge, &c., &c., making a southern connection for all the roads Mr. Culver spoxe at some length, giving figures to show the benefits that would accrue to property-owners if the pro} Lan were adopted. He remarked that two of the ‘strict Commissioners were in hearty sympathy With the proposed location of this depot. THE BILL AND MEMORIAL INDORSED. The secretary, Mr. Wright, then read the bill, covering all the points mentioned in the memorial ‘The report was heartily indorsed and accepted by i the meeting, and all present signed their names to the memorial Addresses were made by Mr. E. D. Wrirht, Dr. Charles Allen, Rev. Dr. Bittinger, and by the chair, in support of tne measures proposed for disposing of this vexed question. A COMMITTEE APPOINTED. Acommittee, consisting of Dr. Crook, Dr. Fen- wick, Mr.E.D. Wri . P. Culver, and J. W. Bar- ker, Was appointed to collect funds to carry out the objects of the meeting. print the bill for distri- bution to Congress, present the same, and attend Wo its passage, The executive committee was then authorized to obtain signatures of all the citizens of South Washington tw the memorial. A resolution offered by Mr. Wright that it is the sense of this meeting that the District Commissioners proceed to pros— ecure the Biltiiore and Potomac Ratlroad com- pany for occupying Virginia and Maryland ave- hues was unanimously adopted. Mr. Wright re- cited the fact of the killing of a child of Mr. Phil- lips, living on Virginia avenue, near 43 street, not Miby weeks ago, and said the action and ver- dict of the coroner’s jury in the cise had been squelehed, it never having been published in the newsnape rs Allen said that the District Commissioners @ great many citizens had opposed the recon- struction the Je! son s:hool building, as it should be rebuilt somewhere out of the way of this Tailroad, showing that the people were giving away Uo this c¢ ration. Dr. Allen stated tha Boss Shepherd did one good actin this city, which was the tearing up of the old Alexandria and Washington railroad track on Maryland avenue, at the commencement of his career, and opined that a similar act now would not be out of place. Quite a number of voices scattered about the room were heard, “PU agsist,” “I'l help.” &c- Dr. Morgan said he would bear testimony to the sincerity of two of the Commissioners In their sympathy with the citizens of South Washington, and he Roped that Major Twining would not an- t»gonize the bill proposed to be introduced in Con- gress. The meeting then adjourned. —_-— A DISHONEST SERVANT.—A neat Fao & young Mhulatto girl was sent to jail for thirty days this morning by Judge Snell on the charge of petit lar- ceny, Mrs. Mary G.

A® OLD-FASHIONED COLORED CONVENTION—A CHIEF MARSHAL ELECTED, AND COMMITTEES APPOINTED TO ARRANGE FOR THE CELEBRATION. Gallileean Fisherman's hail, on Pennsylvania avenue, between 8d and 434 streets, was the scene ofa very animated gathering last night. It wasthc convention of colored citizens, called to arrange for celebration of the coming anniversary of eman- cipation day. The oratorical energy and parila- mentary wisdom dtsplayed called up reminiscen- ces of old days, when every night had its conven- tons or ward meeting. “Squire” Wall presided with an unctious dignity that would have been creditable to Brother Gardner, of the Lime Kiln club, stopping now to give a ‘terrible reproof to “Brother” Smith, who insisted upon pulling the chair’s coat-talls, and_ instructing that. official as to his duties, and now appealing to some factious members to “hold on a moment, gentieman.” The stentorian tones of Perry Carson threatened now and then the tympanium with annihilation, while young and rising orators, with penetrating voices, held the floor, six or eight at a time, each ref to budge an inch until he had his Fights, A self appointed sergeant-at-arms stirred up the wordy rife by voeiferating “order” like a young bull when there were any signs that the convention ‘was about to become quiet. 0. 8.

CBASE’S RESOLUTIONS, * W. C. Chase offered a resolution, which after a flourishing preamble, paying tribute to the mem- ory of Frederick Douglass, Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Highland Garnet, and Charles Sumner, set forth that the 20th anntversary of the Proclamation of emanciption on Monday, April 17th, and instructed the chair to appoint commlt- tees’ of seven each on arrangements, finanee, speakers, and military; and thata chief marshal be elected by the convention. Warner Hall wanted to know if they should for- get John Brown and mention Charles Sumner. Here a* rambling and big-wordéd discussion sprang up as the relative merits of various cham- plons of freedom. ‘Mr. Hall becoming very vociferous, some one in the rear of the hall shouted out,“4I think Mr.Hall ts @ nuisance.” ‘Thereupon Mr. Hall waded through acres of imaginary gore and shouted out his rage, making his shrill voice heard above the uproar in the hall. Finally, a number of delegates gathered around Mr. Hail, and the chairman, having ap- aled to Mr. Hall “not to break up the meeting,” r. Hall was quicted for a time. A number of speeches were made by defenders of different “champions” and the resolutions were finally adopted with a few verbal amendments, PERRY CARSON NOMINATED. Nominations for chief marshal being called for, W. C. Chase rose and with an impressive speech made a nomination. He rose, he satd, to nominate @ man and a eltizen—one who was not a scholar, oF a poet. or a statesman; but one who had the in: terest of the colored people of this city at heart. He closed with a tragic peroration. “This great hegro chief,” he said, “is the man, who, when the democrats of this City said there Should be no colored procession On the avenue, said he would | Inarch up and down Unis avenue’ with a colored procession or die.” “Who do you inean?” shouted an unterrified del- “And that man,” continued Dele; ing his words, “ig Colonel Perry H ond Jonson, Aaron Russell, O. § 10: ter being named by Delegate Hall because he was the blickest man in the hall and hence the best representative of the negro race. r.
