THIS 19 THE COMMUNICATION: Asafriend of the District National Guard I would like to be allowed to suggest through your paper a few ideas which were brought to my mind in observing the brigade from the standpoint of an outsider. The first point no- ticed was that the force seems too large in pro- ortion to the population to be drawn upon. is shown in two ways. First, by th i attendance of many organizations on nearly all occasions of duty; and second, by comparison and Mild, gentle, soothin ii i ¥ ‘atarrh | with the ratio existing in other cities of equal healing is Dr. Sage = or larger size. For evidence on the first point Remedy. Only 50 cents. one has but to examine the records of camp duty, parades, drills, &c., and notico how many very small companies reported for dutv. A company which has only from fifteen to thirty men present is altogether too small for the Na- tonal Guard service as maintained in the more advanced states all over the country and is an argument against the large number of com- panies vow in the city, whether regarded as a company with large numbers but small per- centage present or small qpe with all or nearly all on duty. To show th® force of the argument from the second point of view the following statement, giving in the first twonty cities of the country the average population called — to suppoct « single company, would seem to be conclusive: 1, Ne York, 21,317; 2, Chicago, 47,764; 3, Philadelphia, 29,854; 4, Brooklyn, 16,758; 5, St Louis, 92,071; 6, Boston, 16,537; 7, Baltimore, 25, . Sun Francisco, 13,545; 9, Cincinnati, 87.039; 10, C! nd, 52,309; 11, Buffalo, 16,964; 12, New Orleans. 24199; 13, Pittsburg, 18,344; 14, Washington, 7.660; 15, Detroit, 34,278; 16, Mi waukee, 22,683; 17, Newark, 15,126; 18, Louis- ville, 20,144; 19, Minneapolis, 41,184; 20, Jersey City, 32,797, This shows that in Washington there are more companies in proportion to the popula- tion than {fn any other large city in the United States, Ladmit that certain conditions exist here do not in other places, such larger ratio of young male population, due to the department service, and also a certain half-way ane: ement given to men in the ablie civil 6 to Join the National Guard, jut it does not appear that these or any other conditions in force here warrant the present established strength, and within two or three years, after the enthusiasm among the young men has been abated by the many discourage- ments to be met with in endeavoring to mai tain the companies at proper strength and efticiency, it will be found advisable to reduco the number by consolida- tion or disbandment to two eight company regiments, instead of the present organization of two of twelve companies euch. Indeed, this difficulty is being encountered now, being discharged for no other real that they have “got tired of it" than I think the natural increase of the population will neutralize. Leaving the subject of strength we come to another trouble which seems quite noticeable here, that of the independent or company spirit as opposed to a battalion or regimental feoling and pride. This has always caused trouble erever it has occured and should be discouraged in every way. It isa relic of the olden time and gives the general public a false idea of the comparative import- ance of those organizations having a showy uniform of theiz own; falae, because in three cases out of four. although those companies make more of a show in the social line, it ts done at the expense of the strictly military qualities which belong to a good service com- ‘pany. Another thing work: to the detri- ment of the regularly organized and authorized force is the existence of organizations whose memberscan have their desire for military display gratified witbout being subjected to the disciglise apd hard work required of the others. Still another point worthy of notice and I be- lieve to be condemned, is the practice of aco pany commander in concentrating all b euergies on ty iog for and taking part in competitive drills, which have been the cause of more harm than good, the time necessary for such work being so great as to preclude in- struction in the more practical and essential duties of guard work, rifle practice, &c, A es example of this mistake has been noticed ere within a short time, when a company which made a lor trip away for the purpose of entering a prize drill was unuble to present a respectable number of men not long after for camp duty. As the result wos a direct loss to the govern- ment in respect to the practical work und in- ». | struction which it expects every man to re- | ceive and which each promises to avail himself j of on enlistment, a refusal to allow any com- | Pony to #o waste its time would be a very se sonable action, The National Guard here, ha’ ing been organized so recently, should have the benefit of the experieuce gained in states which have supported a volunteer militia force for many years, and sbould have avoided many errors which seem to have taken a firm hold in the short time of its existence. Butthe fact is evident that many methods have been adopted which have been discarded as unwise and impracticable elsewhere in the light of long experience. ere is one thing which couid be done here which would be of more advantage almost any other improvement that could be adopted, and it could be done in this brigrade with less trouble than in any other force in the country. I refer to the systematic instruction of officers. This subject has been referred to year after year in the recommendations of officers de- tailed from the army to observe the various state encampments, but on account of the dis- tribution of state troops over a large area it is impracticable except on a limited scal Washington everything is convenient for the adoption of a regular plan of instruction for the officers of the brigade. The force is concentrated, there are a lagre number of army officers to draw upon for instructors, and but not least.a great many of the N Guard officers seem to need it boss No re- flectiou 1s intended Om these gentlem lor they are doing as well as they can with the advantages they have, but they are really entitled to schooling in the duties which the government requires of them and which can be obtained in no other way except by long and wearisome experience,” THANKSGIVING MATCHES. ‘The Thanksgiving day shoot promises to be more interesting than its projectors hoped it A Wosvenrct Womax.

To the Editor of Tux Evewine Bran: An interviow with a paper hanger in last Saturday's Stan contained @ misstatement which gives entirely wrong impression on the subject of a paper hanger’s earnings. In- stead of wages in Washington being higher than in any other city there are but two cities in the middle states that pay wages as low, It is only in the cheapest grades of paper that the price of hanging equals the price of the paper. Itis a rare thing fora man to make €30 for two or three weeks in the season, even in the best stores, The busy season will seldom run five months, and most of our men, who milies to support, are obliged to seek work in other cities in the spring. Few jour- neymen iu this city make over $500 per year. While price per piece for hanging is Low the standard of work required here is as high as anywhere in the Unton.

Tr 18 NOW IN VIRGINIA AND FORMS A PART OF THE WALL OF THE LIGHT HOUSE ON RUNTER's OREEK—TBE EVENT TO BR CELEBRATED KRXT APRIL. It is proposed to celebrate in this city in April next the centennial anniversary of the laying of the corner stone of the District, This stone marked the initial point for the surveys of the lines of the ten miles square which originally were included within the District of Columbia, It is a curious fact that when the location of the corner stone was selected by Gen. Washington it was outside of the limits of the District, as described in the act of Congress authorizing President Washington to choose a location for the permanent seat of government. This sct, which became a law July 16, 1790, gave the President power toselect a site any- where along the Maryland or eastern side of the Potomac river between the mouth of the Eastern branch and the Conococheague, the latter being a stream which enters the Potomac at Williamsport, Md., not far from Hagerstown. WHERE WASHINGTON PLACED THE INITIAL POINT. Gen. Washington, however, reached the con- clusion that a portion of the territory of Vir- ginia, including the city of Alexandria, ought to be made a part of the new federal District, and in announcing the selection of the site he stated that the initial point of the surveys. of the District boundary lino would begin at Hunting creek south of Alexandria. Congress gave its sanction to this change and passed an amendatory act which extended the lines of the District so as to take in a slice of the soil of the Old Dominion, as well as territory south of tho Eastern branch. The site of the corner stone, having for a few months pending this action of Congroas been outside of the District, was allowed to remain within the jurisdiction of the federal government for a period of fifty- five years, ‘Then in the year 1846 the act of | retracession was passed and the state of Vir- ginia again assumed authority over the terri- tory where the corner stone was located. THE CORNER 8TONE NOW IN VIRGINIA. It is, therefore, now on Virginia soil. The corner stone, which was laid April 15, 1791, was | established on Jones’ Point, south of the | present light hguse. Immediately afterward a survey wascomincnced and lines were run as directed by tho President's proclamation. | These lincs were marked by hewn stone posts Placed at intervals of one mile. The poste were inscribed on the District side with the words, “Jurisdiction of the United States,” and on the opporite side, according to location, were in- scribed either with the word “Maryland” or “Virginia.” On another sido appeared tho abreviation ‘vari’ for variorum, with the number of the stone and tho date 2791 or 1792. The survey was completed during the year 1792. The corner stono is about two fect high and one foot square, and | stood isolated until the United States built the wall inclosing the hght house, ‘The stone was | then included in and forme part of this wall on | the south, From this stone Andrew Ellicott, | the surveyors located the longitudinal and me- ridian center of the District, ‘he stone mark- ing the exact center of the ten-mile square was located about 150 yards southwest from where the Washington monument now stands. CEREMONY OF LAYING THE CORNER STONE. Thé ceremony of laying the vorner stone was quite an évent at that eurly day. There was as grand a procession as the sparse population of this section of the country could muster. Two of these newly appointed commissioners of the District were present. A contemporary ac- count states when Hon, Daniel Carroll and Hon, David Steuart, District Commissioners, arrived in Alexandria on the 15th of April, 1791, the mayor and commonalty, together with the members of the Civie Association, at 3 o'clock waited on the Commissioners at Mr. Wise’s (City Hotel), where they dined, and, after drinking a glass of ‘wine to the fol- lowing sentiment, viz, “May the stone which we are ubout to place in the ground remain an _ immovable monu- ment to the wisdom and unanimity of North America,” the company procecded to Jon Point in the following ‘order: First, the to sergeant; second, District Commissioner Carroll and the mayor; third, District Enginee: Ellicott und the town’ recorder; fourth, alder- men and common council; fifth, strangers; sixth, the master of Lodge 23, with District Commissioner Steuart on his right and Rev. James Muir on his left; seventh, Masons in the usual form of Masonic procession; eighth, citi- zens. two by two. The master of the lodge, Commissioner Steuart, and others placed the stone and it was laid in accordance with the Masonic ceremony REV. MR. MUIN'S ADDRESS, Rev. James Muir, an eloquent Scotch clergy- man, delivered the address of the occasion. It was almost all in scriptural language and the speaker closed with the following: “ is for brethren to dwell together in more fragrant than the perfumes in Aaron's garments; it is more refreshing than the dews | on Hermon’s hill, May this stone long com- | memorate the goodness of God in those un- | common events which have given America a name among nations, Under this stone ma jealousy and selfishness be forever buried. from this stone may a superstructure arise whose glory, whose magnificence, whose stabil- ity. unequaled hitherto, shall astonish the world and invite even the savage of the wilderness to tuke shelter under its roof.” ‘The company partook of refreshments and. returning to Wise's tavern, drank toasts, one of which, that of Dr. E, C. Dick, has been pre- served: “May jealousy, that green-eyed mon- ster, be buried deep under the work we have this day completed, never to rise again within the federal District.” a Investigating Chinese Immigration.

Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun, New Youk, Nov. 14.—Mr. Cleveland's recep- tion at the Thurman banquet has a special sig- nificance here in view of the persistent efforts to make Gov. Hill's trip to Ohio the primal cause of the most of the recent democratic gains in the west, The other evening, Stanley, after reciting his great discoveries and the cold reception he got in England. said: “I came here and you know the rest; a prophet is not without honor save in his own country.” New York fails also to grasp fully the appreciation with which the services of the pfs Lanes are held in other states, Mr. Cleveland's friends, however, are not o- ing to let things go by default. His old asso- ciate, Wilson 5. Bissell of Buffalo, has an- nounced himeelf a candidate for United States Senator. To the suggestion that be should | enter the race he is quoted as saying: “I have said that I thought Gov. Hill was entitled to the place if he wanted it, but if 1 find that the poopte of Buffalo and western New York desire me to be a candidate for the place, then I am in the contest to stay, Iam a candidate; if it comes to me spontaneously and with good will It would be an honor to be chosen, aud who would refuse itif given to him?” Gov.

Slavin and McAuliffe, the pugilista, wore put on trial in London yesterday for assauit on ench other and breach of the peace. Mr. Poland, Q.C., prosecuted for the crown and Sir Charlea Russell defended. Both the men when they appeared in court seemed to be in excellent trim. Mr. Poland read the terms of the combat and descrived the scene to be not 4 mere exhibition of skil!, but o fight to win money. He said thatif the jury had any com- mon sense it would find the contest an illegal prize fight, Inspector Chisholm said he had attended the contest and detailed the incidents. A new pair of gloves was produced, which the inspector manipulated so as to push the padding from the knuckles, as he alleged the seconds hud dono before the tight. In spite of Sir Charles Russeli’s objection. the witness described the behavior of the spectators, He said that some fifteen or twenty minutes elapsed after tho | fight was over before McAuliffe recovered him- | self sufticiently to leave his corner, which he attributed to the effects of restricting the num- ber of rounds to fifteen, which made the men fight faster and more furious. Inspector Darling deposed that he had never seen aman hit so hard us Slavin, though he had often seen blood drawn in fights of the kand uow under consideration. =~ Mr. A. Vize, one of the referees, said that McAuliffe’s collapse was due to over exertion in the first round and the heavy biows deliv- ered by Slavin, The case was then adjourned until today.
