In this connection he earnestly calls attention to the general practice of sweeping the dirt and re- Le from stores, &c., nto the streets and alleys; also the throwing of cut grass taken from lawns into the street, which not only dirties the streets, but chokes up the sewers and causes sickness. He recommends that the police be instructed to keop s sharp lookout for all persons who make a practice of using the streets and alleys as ral dumping ground, and saysif they do this much benefit could be derived therefrom. The matter was roferred to Maj. Moore and he says ina letter to the Commissioners that the officers have been in- structed to keep a sharp lookont, and as are- sult several persons have been brought to court already. ae ANCIENT LIGHT STANDARD. An Article That Antedates the Age of Candles. M. Steinert, whose famous collection of rare old musical instruments has been exhibited in various cities and is now in Washington, has just become the possessor of a rude light standard of the fifth century. This article is nots candlestick, for it antedates the age of candles. It is about a footin height, made of iron and wood. A rude and rusty rod of wrought iron is driven into a block of wood, which, though very aged, probably is not the original block that was eut out for the imple- ment. The rod supports a tool which works on the scissors principle, ono end being usod for nippers. One of the iron rods oxtends back- ard end hae a huge iron for a weight to hold itdown. The firebrands were placed in the nippers and held there by the weight, ne material which was used for illuminating he days of this instrument was a sort of ible candle that grewinswamps. The of this were dipped in grease an t on fire, the center of the candle being placed in the iron jaws of the standard, This was the best method of illuminating at that age. The instrument was presented to Mr. Stcinert by a lady in whose family in Wales it had been kept for generations, *oo—____ They Received a Blessing. Officer Mast of the Capitol police and several Toembers of his family were somewhat sur- prised to learn on Monday that Miss Alma Gertrude Mast, daughter of the officer, had quietly slipped over to Bultimore on Sunday and joined herself in matrimony to Mr. Uliver Ports, also of this city.

Allen has just received a plensa letter from Mr. Cleveland, accepting the pre: ent and bread her in behalf of both himself and Mrs, Cleveland, He says he prizes the gloves very highly as a great curiosity. Evidence of # Terrible Crime. The evidence of what is probably a terrible crime has been discovered by a party of pleas- ure seekers in a mutilated body lying in the woods some distance below St. Louis, Three gentlemen, residenta of Carondolet, a suburb of 8t. Louis, while returning from a day's hunt near Chiff fe Monday afternoon discovered a skeleton of # man lying in Twin Hollow, a halt mile south of Cliff Cave on the Iron Mountain and Southern railroad, ‘The man had been lying there for a long period, every vestige of flesh had long ago disappeared, The bones were incased in clothes, which were of good material, but were rotten from exposure to the weather. Upon examining the skull, » small hole was seen just above the right eye, which led the men to believe that the fellow had been shot, Under the right arm there was a crutch and in his left hand, which the bony fingers still clutched, was acane.

They wore first engaged by Mr. Wilson last season to appear in “The Oolah,.” Between the acts these little imps would amuse the mombers of the company by their dancing and sparring. After tie performance was over they would go around to the different bar rooms and dance, In that way they collected many pennies, This season Mr. Wilson conceived the idea of having the boys do their dance with him. Ac- eke ge he sent to their parents in Washing- ton and offered to pay the boys a salury and to see that they were properly taken care of, “Jevs,” the older one, appeared on the scen his complete baggage ‘consisting of a dilapi- dated old umbreila, while John, the other boy, had a night shirt for his wardrobe.

Ever since his recall from Washington Lord Sackville has frequently expressed to Lord Sal- isbury his desire for an appointment as am- bassador to one of the courts of Europe. An attache of the British foreign office, recently referring to the subject, said: “The recent action of Lord Sackville at Stratford-on-Avon has rendered any such appointment out of the question, It is now admitted that his lordship committed an error as great as that which led to his recall from Washington and has proved how unfit he is for a position requiring tact, discretion and breadth of view. he Rules for Trotting Records.

Campbell foliowed her and fired the fatal shot while standing over the prostrate girl. He is beit guarded by an extra force at the jail to preve: lynching. Gold Discovery. George Hamlin Fitch in the Century, One of the anomalies of tho gold discovery was ite slowness in reaching Americans in Cali- fornia. Itwas midsummer before the news was generally credited in California and Oregon. Then, when people became convinced that the reports were true and that fortunes could be made in a few months in the Sacra- mento valley, there was arush such as was never before known in history. Of course the California settlers had the great advantage of eed to the new El Dorado. Next, per- aps, came those in Honolulu. The Oregonians obtained their news by way of the Sandwich Islands and Fort neouver, These hardy pioneers had just emerged froma long struggle with hunger, the wilderness and the Indians. They were poor, and they saw in the future only a vista of weary work with small profits, as they had no market for their produce, Sud- denly the scattered settlements were electrified by the news of the gold discovery. Those who took part in the rush declare that not less than two-thirds of all those capable of bearing arms swarmed over the Siskiyou mountains and came down to the gold fields of the Sacramento. In the meantime the news had spread te the east, to Australia and to South America, From ali quarters came young men as eager for adventure as for gold. Not one in a thousand had any practical knowledge of mining or any lan of remaining in the country aftera fortune ad been made, Eighty thousand is a con- servative estimate of the number of gold hunters who flocked to California in the first twelve months that followed Marshall's dis- covery, ———+e+-_____ No New Colns for the Present. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. Superintendent Bosbyshell of the mint yes- terday received from Washington a communi- cation from E. O. Leech, director of the mint, conveying the disappointing intelligence that the department at Washington would not take any action until next summer in regard to pro- viding new =H for coins, under the bill recently passed by Congress, Director Leech explains that he is so busily engaged in the preparation of the report of his department and the Secretary of the Treasury’s time will be so much occupied for some months that the matter of changing the models and designs of coins cannot be taken up until late in the spring. Since the bill became a law Superin- tendent Bosbyshell has been in receipt daily of lotters from persons anxious to enter into the competition, showing a widespread interest in the/subject. As it was hoped to change the five-cent nickel piece and get rid of the buzzard dollar as quickly as practicable, the delay will be received with universal regret.
