There are all sorts of articles to be seen, extending in their range trom acigar to cnoll painting, and from a ptece of fancy work toa Kitchen range. The artistic Josties the plainly practical, and this feature is forctbly impressed. on the mind of the visitor upon the first entrance in the hall First the eye falls upon a row of stoves Of nearly every varlety, glistening with all the metallic brililancy of ‘nickel plating and tiling, ‘and then with the force of complete contrast upon an exhibit of artistic furniture, rich in upholstery of oriental coloring. | Here the visitor pauses, for there is nothing 80 attractive in this time ag’ ar- tistic furniture, and ignorance of the latest de- signs 1s lke being ‘Out of the*fashion in dress. This’ exhibit, which was donated” by. Mr. Henry 0. Towles, is effectively ‘arranged, and the booth resembles an elegant parlor. It1s wortny of detailed examination. A luxurious reception chalr, with its broad seat, suggests rest to wearled limbs, in spite of the rich’ blue silk ptush with which it 1s upholstered. ‘Tne plush harmonizes with the broad facings of Valours—a Turkish fab- ric heavy with threads of gold. The woodwork 18 ebonized, and the chair stands 4g a beautiful pro- duct of modern artistic work. Near it 1 a solid Mahogany center table, (irmly resting on four sen= sible legs, with its high polish’and straight lines, a type of the revival of edmmon, sense in cabinet work. In its beautiful simplfelty it affords a striking contrast to the absurdities that trembled on their spindle-twisted legs in drawing rooms a few years ago. “There 18. a love of achatr,” a lady visitor re- marked as her eyes rested on an ebonized rattan arm-chatr, trimmed prettily with dark red ribbon, and alustrious cushion covered with silk plush of the same color, All visitors will agree with this opinion, whether they look at the chalr trom the standpoint of artistic -effect or mere comfort. ‘Tae combination of the useful and beautiful, as Mustrated by the above named articles of turni- ture,ts further emphasized by a “Davenport desk,” with Its ample top and Ingenious contrivances at the sides for drawers and closet room. It is made ot French walnut, highly polished and lined insite with birds-eye maple. A novel invention in the way of easy-chairs is agentleman’s rattan arm- chair with a head rest attachment, farmed of rattan, and as soft and yiclaing to the head as an elder down cushion. ‘here are two rocking chairs, which look very Inviting. One is an ebony and’ gilt platform rocker, very richly upholstered with raw silk, and the other a atform rocker with a double rattan seat and ack, making a very comfortable chalr, especially in warm weather. Among otiier novelties in tis exhibit there 13 a handsome cbonized shaving- glass for gentlemen, with a bevel plate glass, and drawers and closet for shaving materlals and other conveniences of tRe toilet. In the midst of this effective display of fine fur- niture fs an elegant evony pedestal, surmounted by one of Roger’s latest groups, entitled “The Bal- cony.” ‘There are other articles in this exhibit of Mr. Towles which attract attention, and among these may be mentioned a walnut velvet carpet lounze, & walnut settec, with perforated scat, bearing the Initials of the Light Intantry Corps, and a national wire mattress,for which Mr.Towles 1s agent. But the visitor presses reluctantly on, Teellng that more time could proftably be spent at this booth. ee Jumped Into the River to Escape. AN EXCITING CHASE AFTER A WOMAN BRATER. About three o'clock yesterday afternoon a colored man named Edward Brooks, living in Clark’s alley, South Washington, while ina fit of Jealousy beat a woman with whom he 1s living, Her outcries were heard by Officers Aldrich and Wiliams, who started to arrest the assailant. Brooks ran down to B street, pursued by the officers anda crowd. In his filglt he scaled seve- ral fences and got into the Smithsonian grounds, across which he bounded into the Agricultural ground, and then scudded through the Monument lot. Arriving at the river, near 17th street, he Jumped overboard and swam into the stream. ‘The officers not to be baftled signalled a man who m, and securing the boat paddled, out to Brooks, who showed symptoms of ring. They caught at his head but Brooks de- clared that he woul not ve taken, and threatened if they approached to upset thé boat. Finding | that parleying would do no good, one of the offi- cers dropped ‘the welzht of his club on Brooks head, whlch brought him to terns. He was towed ashore, and taken ina dripping condition to the stationhouse, where he was locked up. Brooks was to-day arratgned in the Police Court for assaulting Bella Dickson, and sentenced to six months In fall. The testimony was that he threatened to whip the woman unless she went to live with him or permitted him to live at her house, She testifted that Brooks broke a large iron tea- kettle on her head. ——, .

But does this, come upto the standard essential to mental and physical health? I doubt it. The whole system needs revision.

An enterprise that is exciting a great deal of in- terest in this city has been started, which has in view the erection of a butiding, of artistic design, which shall combine @.complete casino club for men and women, and a commedious Opera House, having & grand opera stage, and a capacity for at least 1,200 people. The interior arrangements of the building and management will combine the Dest ideas of similar institutions in this country and Europe, with many novel additions adapted to Washington Ute. Im tts’erection a long felt want of Washington residents will be met. THE BUILDING Will be erected in the vicinity of Lafayette Square, and will be surrounded with ample grounds. One Portion of the building will be devoted to club Tooms, for both men and women members. Here will be reading rooms, a club post office, writing rooms, a general promenade room, & covered court in the center, a lawn tennis court, a club restau- Tant, dressing rooms and other’ conveniences, During the hours when people would be likely to come tn for lunch or ‘recreation ‘an orchestra wilt furnish music. ‘There will also be a Dall room and a sulte of private drawing rooms and supper room, with private entrance, which can be rented by persons Wishing to give palis and receptions. THE OPERA HOUSE will be on the ground floor, and, as near as may be, fireproof, with large lobbies and exits on three ‘sides from almost continuous doors. It will have all the recent improvements in comfortable chairs, open boxes, cloak rooms, &c., and an original de- sign by a New York theatrical man which ar- Tanges the seats, in rows of fours, in such a man- ner that all parts of the house may be eastly vis- ited and any seat reached without disturbing the occupants of other seats or passing in front of any one. The row of open boxes in the balcony wiil be separated by grilles, with an aisle back of them, and transferable into rows of seats in case of non- Tental as boxes, THE LOBBIES, with floor slightly raised and in view of the stage, Will have seats and tables where people may sit or move about when tired of their stalls. A public restaurant, a branch of the club restaurant, ad- Joins the lobbies. After a play the members of the club could leave the theater by special inner doors to the club and walt in their rooms until their car- Tlages are announced or have supper in the club restaurant before leaving. In many features of the plan of this opera house:resembles the Grand Opera House of Paris, THE COST AND HOW IT PROPOSED TO MEET IT. ‘This building will occupy some 20,000 feet, and its estimated cost 1s in the neighborhood of £200,000. ‘The design is the suggestion of Mr. F. H. Paine, who 1s also interested in this enterprise. ‘Those who take an interest in this matter and wish to enjoy the advantages and privileges that subscrivers will have are subscribing to a paper entitling them to a certain number of shares of Stock | Among the privileges granted a subscriber, the most fmportant will be the right to select a box, or a number of seats in the subscribers’ rows according to the number of shares he holds, These same seats will always be held for and charged to him; but should he not destre to occupy them he may’ give notice any previous tie, or up to a certain hour of the day of a performance, to place his seats on the sale list. ‘This seems to be a priv- flege well deserved by those who will give us such an agreeable resort. It 1s the intention to erect this building by a stock company, and the enter- prise 1s receiving the support not ohly ot residents of this city but also many of the winter residents Of wealth. The Sprague Divorce Case. ALLEGED MISSTATEMENTS CORRECTED BY COUNSEL. Judge Hoadley, of Cineinnatt, and Winchester Britton, of Brooklyn, N.¥., counsel for Mrs, Kate Chase Sprague, sent aletter to the editor of the Vindicator, of Staunton, Va., referring to a state- ment published tn that paper, March 16, in which ex-Gov. Sprague was represented as having sald to the clerk of the court, to the commonwealth’s attorney, and to Rev. J. ‘D. Hullihon, in order to procure & marriage lenge and to induce the mtn- ster to perforin the ceremony, that he brought, sult dgainst Mrs. Sprague for dtvorce on the ground of adultery; that she answered charging him with the saihe offense; that afterwards she with- drew her charges. against him, but is remained, and he was granted a divoree on the ground named in his petition, and that the court dl- vided the custody of the chilaren. For the sake of accuracy the miwister reduced the above statement to writing. Counsel say they can hardly believe it possible that such a perversion of facts could have been made, but that they have sen no contradiction. They ask the editor of the Vindicator to publish the faets as they are, In jus tice to Mrs. Sprague. ‘They then recite that Mrs. Sprague brought’ sult for a divorce in Rhode Island, charging adultery, cruelty and fatlure to support. Gov. Sprague answered by a cross-bill charging her with adultery. She prepared proot to support all her allegations, but on the trial Gov. Sprague and counsel proposed thatst Mra. Spraguo would waive proof as to his adultery he would withdraw his petition and permit the case to pro- ceed on the milder charge of non-support. ‘This proposition was accepted, a decree of divorce was granted Mrs, Sprague on this ground, and she was given the custody of the younger three children, the other child being, under the laws of Rhode Island, not subject to the control of the court. In view of all the facts counsel say they have advised Mrs. Sprague to avall herself of the permission of the court to resume her matden name.
