Handsomely framed and hanging over the east mantel in the private office of J. E. Lib- bey on Water street is a noteworthy souvenir. One of the curios is an autograph card of Charles Guitean. It was written by ti assassin while he was a prisoner at_ the District jail and bought of him by Mr. Libbey for 25 cents a few days prior to the execution, Just over the card are two checks signed James A. Garfield and drawn against. the First National Bank of Washington. They are in consideration of building material fur- nished by the Libbey firm to Mr. Garfield, who was then a member of the House. One of the checks bears date of February 26, 1870, and és for $674. ‘The second ix dated June 25, 1870, and £136.25 is the sum named. The sig- nature is in clear and graceful letters and was written with an exceedingly fine-stroke pea. These relics are very dear to the firm which owns them. MR. WHEATLEY AND THE LONG BRIDGE. Ex-Commissionor Wheatley does not like the present management of the draw of the Long bridge. He has no especial fondness for the bridge in its entirety, but he is particularly op- posed to the draw, At present hig opposition takes the form of pungent conversation. He promises to object, : however, in still more potent way. Mr. Whentley says that the draw is operated by the telegraph operator on shore and that naviga:ion hus to await the pleasure of trains, thus completely reversing the spirit of the law. Mr. Wiatley has steam launch, buthe cannut get through the bridge later than 7 o'clock p.m. Thus moon- light excursions are prohibited by the Pennsyl- | vania railroad. He has seen a fieet of schooners laden with ice, coal, lumber and wood com- pelled to lav to over night beiow the bridge aud get to their berths when the draw keoper willed. ‘THEY FELL TOGETHER.

When this road comes into life it will open up a large extent of practically undeveloped country. Mr. Lucas says that the county-seat war between La Plata and Port Tobacco 1s being waged vigorously, with odds in favor of La Plata. SOME SOCIAL! AFFAIRS, Miss Marie Winthrop was givens surprise party last night. It was one of those delight- ful occasions whose pleasures cannot be set up in type. The dresses were pretty, the girls,too, the flowers abundant and sweet, the refresh- ments ble and the fun immense. ‘Mr. Russell Bowen gave a delightfal supper last evening at the Michael residence toa party of friends. It was a stag affair. Mr. Bowen, who was an Anacostian before he reformed to become a citizen of Georgetown, pro} the toast “Anacostia! queen suburb of the Dis- trict.” It was responded to by Mr. Alvin Rich- ardson, who alleged that Anacostia was the chief jewel in Columbia's tiara. Among the guests were Mr. Arrington, Mr. Allen, Mr. Lib- bey, jr., Mr. Doney and Mr. Gore. ‘TRIED TO HOLD HIM UP. Mr. Allerton of Canal road tells a story of an attempt to commit highway robbery last night while he was on the other side of Fowler's Hill. He says that as he rounded a bend in. the road he was accosted by two burly men, whose faces were pretty thoroughly concealed by biack slouch hats. Their coat collars were turned up and they had generally tough aspect in the dark. ‘They halted him and demanded his cash, He refused, made a break and escaped.

On looking around he saw that the lady behind him had turned to Jvok up to the balcony, and in #o doing had placed her hand on his arm. Realizing that she done so unconsciousiy he did uot move his arm. Soon, however, he felt a hard pinch. Think- ing that the best'way to call the lady's atten- tion to whut she was doing would be to ask if anything was wanted the gentieman turned and “What is it, madam?” “Sir,” said the lady, and immediately the husband blazed up: “What do you mean by speaking to my wife?” he demanded, “Don't mean anything,” was the reply, “but I would like to know what your wife means by pinching my arm.” ‘Then both men looked at the lady which still rested on the arm. oth smiled, be: came a little nervous and apologized.

Crosewhite said yesterday: “Double vision is due to a want of harmony in the muscles which control the movements of the eyeball, This is owing to a change effected in the nerves or nerve centers by the hand, alcoholic poison. Inflammation of the nerves and also a loss of energy in the centers of the brain are produced by overdoses of alcohol, and to this dis- turbance in the center is due the double vision, as also the staggering gait produced by the loss of harmony in the muscles of the limbs. Should the muscles of each eyeball not act exactly as one then a different purt of the visual field is exposed to the two retina, Each retina, aciing independently, sees the object and the im- pressions conveyed to the brain are therefore double instead of single. Were the muscles acting exactly similarly the object would be seen by the same part of each retina and the impres- sions therefore conveyed to the brain would be single, ordinary vision resulting.” a ‘Trees in French Cities, From the London Times. One of the chief beauties of the larger French cities, and second only to their edifices and monuments, are the trees. The almost inter- minable vistas of chestnuts and acacias stretch- ing along the broad and well-paved avenues as far as the eye can reach, their bending branches almost touching one another in an endless arch of verdure, form not only a delightful per- spective for the eye, but serve to add beauty to cS already beautitul and grace and sym- metry to whatever might be harsh and forbid- ding. ‘This, however, is not the result of na- j ture’s hendiwork alone, for science and art lent their aid. The planting, as well as the maintenance of the trees in French cities, is an item of no little importance in the annual budget prepared by the municipal council, which does not look upon their preservation as of less consequence than the repairing of the roadways or the lighting of the streets, -+e2—___ Hanian, the Oarsman, Challenges Petersen.
