Written for The Evening Star. In+the old days, running back to the forties, all that section of the city lying to the southeast of the Capitol was designated the Navy Yard. By some who wanted to be a little more precise it was called Navy Yarg Hill, in contradistinction to the Navy Yard proper. In that early period it was regarded as a sort of caudal appendage to the city, while our “city” brethren in their vanity were wont to look upon the dwellers therein as akin to country cousins, you know, and the place a rural hamlet, the principal street being known as the “Main road,” now Pennsylvania avenue east. The gilded ‘street car, with its tinkling sound of brass, was a vanity little dreamed of by our modest fathers. Neither did they rejoice in the luxury of the gorgeous omni* bus, as that stately vehicle had not put in’ an appearance at that time. The only mcde of public conveyance was the old lumbering stage, whose asthmatic groaning and creak- ing announced its coming far down the dusty road. In fact, streets and roads were alike as to dust, a paved street being an almost unknown quantity. These stages were owned and run by a man named Harrington, who kept a public house on Garrison street (now 8th street) mear the navy yard gate. They started from that point and ran to the southwest cerner of 6th street and Pennsylvania ave- nue only. The fare was a “levy” or twelve and a half cents. Here they connected with another line of stages that ran to George- town, which were owned by Allison Naylor, sr. The fare on this line was a “levy” also, Indeed, @ trip to the Navy Yard was @ thing not to be entered into lightly or in- advisedly, but with the fear of the Lord and the pugnacious Navy Yard boy before our eyes. Here dwelt many a type of the jolly Rip Van Winkle who with ro@ and gun whiled away the hours alung the bright wa- ters of the Anacostia; or regaled his friends at the Union House (then kept by John Goldin) with many a fish story or told of marvelous shots made with his single barrel shotgun “‘acros$ the branch.” For be it known that wild ducks were then plentiful in the Eastern branch, and oatat Geert —_ = found in abundance , and where the rolli jot in his fine work. ete A Quiet Old Settlement. As the city proper had its little Britain and its Great Britain—that is, its West End and its Swampoodle, its Northern Liberties and its “Island”—so the Navy Yard had its addenda in the extreme southeastern sec- tion, and in close proximity to the old burnt bridge, known as Stanton Town, one of the oldest settlements in the city. In this quaint and venerable spot lived some of the first settlers of the District. The houses were primitive in the extreme, and some few are still standing that were there long before the British crossed the river in 1814. Here flourished the observance of all old holiday customs and games that lent a charm to festive days and made their re- currence so welcome. Bonfires were kept burning throughout “the night before Christmas,” while a motley crowd of “black spirits and white” would gather around the blazing fire, and with music, singing and dancing watch for the coming of the great festival, which would be heralded by the firing of small cannon, guns, &c. The strolling minstrel had. not passed fmto innocuous desuetude then, but with his merry crew would go from house to house “‘discoursing most eloquent music,” the recipient of such honors being ex- pected to show his appreciation in a Iquid form, which he invariably did. All Hallow E’en was religiously observed, old games were revamped and festive gatherings were numerous. The girl of that period was weil versed In the art of necromancy as well as ghost lore. Shrove Tuesday and pan cakes were synonymous terms. The very air was redolent with the odor of the griddle, and hence it took no ghost to come from the grave to tell us that it was “pan- cake day.” And so every holiday had its votaries, and was scrupulously observed. ‘The Ancient Navy Yard. ‘The Washington navy yard was organized in 1799, near the close of the administra- tion of John Adams. The cost of the ground was $4,000 only, and consisted of forty acres. H. B. Hibben, a chaplain in the navy, says, in his history of the yard,which is known as Senate doc. 22—that “for many years it was regarded as one of the most important and defensible, and the one most useful, convenient and necessary to the government. Guns, ammunition and sup- plies were continually being shi from this yard north and south. It seemed to be used as the central depot of supplies.” The first commandant of the yard was Capt. (afterward commodore) Thomas Tin- gey, who remained in command from 1800 to 182%. Among the old naval heroes who were in command of the yard were: Hull, Patterson, Stevens, Kennon, Aulick, Schu- brick, Ballard, Forrest, Paulding and others whose names adorn the page of | history. The yard was, I think, far more attractive in the old days than it is today. Its high ship houses, its immense anchor shop, whose molten fires and inky clouds of smoke reminded one of Dante's Inferno. its numerous forges, boiler, galley and other shops for the complete fitting out of | a man-of-war gave employment to hun- dreds of men, and made the yard one of the busiest centers in all Washington. The building of war ships was then a prominent feature of the yard, ang a large number of our old wooden battle ships, whose names have passed into history, were built | here and took their baptismal plunge in the waters of the Anacostia. Among the number were the sifips of the line: Columbus, 74 rate, built in 1819; frigate Potomac, 44 rate, 1821; schooner Grampus, 12 rate, 1821; schooner Shark, 12 rate, 1821; frigate Brandywine, 44 rate, 1825; sloop of | war St. Louis, 18 rate, 1828; schooner Experiment, 12 rate, 1831; frigate Columbia, 44 rate, 1836; sloop of war St. Mary, 22 rate, 1844; sloop of war Minnesota, 40 rate, 1855; steamer Water Witch, 2 rate, 1845. Big Vessels and Gai Dgubtless many of our old citizens can recall the exciting and pleasant scenes of a launch ‘of a man-of-war at the navy yard. They will aiso recall the great crowds that came trooping over the com- mons and through grassy lanes “from the city” to witness the inspiring sight. The water battery erected near the larger ship house (the latter has since been torn down) was an awe-inspiring sight to visit- ors and a terror to river captains, as the shot would go flying down the branch and across the Potomac and imbed itself on the Virginia shore, and which caused old resi- dents to tremble and declare that no good could come out of this Nazareth. Their prophecies were not without honor, as sev- eral guns burst, killing Gunner McClain, William Nokes and wounding several oth- ers. On September 7, 1841, a distressing accident occurred in the armorer’s shop, by which Jacob Bright, employed in the gun- | ner’s department. lost his life, the result of a premature explosion of a shell, which wrecked and set fire to the buildi Bright ‘was very popular and commanded a militia company at the time, known as the, Marion rifles. His son, Edward Bright, was after- ward captain of the Boone Rifles, a crack company of East Washington. On June 27, 1842, another terrible explosion of shells occurred in the laboratory, killing Gunner Thos. Barry and his assistant, Dayid Davis, whose bodies when found were terribly mangled. The buildings were wrecked, but the powder magazine escaped by a miracle. The yard of today is not like its old self. The large ship house has disappeared, The old war ships come here no more and many branches of work have been transferred to other yards. But we have in their stead the finest and most complete gun shops in the world, the admiration of citizens and foreigners alike and the pride of the navy. | s Vv.

JERSEY MOSQUITOES ABROAD. Their Appearance Reported at Hotels im the British Metropolis. The true Jersey mosquito has made its @ppearance in England. , This announcement might cause alarm in Europe, if the facts respecting the blood- thirsty insect were better known abroad. Its fame, however, is chiefly confined to this country, where its depredations in sum- mer time cause much loss of blood and pa- tience to seaside visitors, Considering the persistence of the animal, it does not seem surprising that specimens should have suc- ceeded in making their way across the water on board of ocean steamships. Attention to this point was first drawn by reports respecting a large and voracious species of mosquito found in London, par- ticularly in the large hotels. Guests at a hotel frequented by Americans made loud complaint on the subject. It is said that the English people have evinced a greater degree of exasperation at the nuisance than guests from this side of the water. As the length of the transatlantic voyage in days is reduced it is expected that the blood suckers will be carried over in in- creased numbers, Of course there have always been plenty of mosquitoes in England, but no variety approaching ‘in size and ferocity the New Jersey gallinipper. But this is a subject which may not be discussed with too much freedom. Mr. L. O. Howard of the Depart- ment of Agriculture was so incautious not song @go as to print a statement to the edect that he nad Killed seventy-tive of tnese insects on tne ceuing of a room in a certain town near the cost. Soon atfter- wara he received letters trom two resi- dents of the place warning him that he would be mobued by the innaoitants if he ever set foot there again. It has been fre- quently observed by philosophers that no- boay is ever to admit that there are any mosquitoes in his own particular neigh- borhood. There may be mosquitoes in the next township or even across the creek, but not in the immediate vicinity. Some time back a scheme was devised for doing away with mosquitoes by means of kerosene. Of course the insects are bred from water, in wi they are hatched as Sarr ean ce es ey ve attained the winged condition.

But, owing to the extraordinary feeling above alluded to, the plan could not be carried out. It is believed that the propagation of mosquitoes over wide areas of water and marsh could be put a stop to at very small expense in the way suggested. Already the system has been proved successful on a small scale. One trial was made on a farm within two hours’ ride from the city of Washington. Investigation made it evident that the supply of mosquitoes in this case must come from a small mill pond one-eighth of a mile from the house, supplemented by Uttle marshy tract the pond and by two horse troughs, one at the barn and the other at the roadside in front of the dwell- ing. There was also a large rain water barrel which doubtless furnish {ts quota. | This last was readily disposed of by mak- ing a cover for it. while the horse troughs were from lers by using a small | fine-meshed hand net every few davs. It remained then to treat the mill pond and the marsh. The area of the former being reckoned at 4.090 square feet 15 gal- lons of the cheanest kerosene were eprin- kl upon it. This formed a continuous layer over the surface. Two gallons more were used for the marsh. The total ex- pense of the treatment was $1.7. plus two hours’ light work for two men. As a result there were no mosquitoes on the farm dur- Ine the summer, the Javer of kerosene last- ine several weeks. This is a remedy #0 easily anvlied that In most places it should be vracticable to eet rid of the pests en- tirely by the means suggested.

These are Lincoln, Omaha, St. Joseph, Des Moines, | Dubuque, Davenport, Rock Island, Peoria and Springfield. A meeting is to be called for Des Moines at an early date to perfect an organization.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. There occurred a curious incident of which |no mention is made in the books which have treated of the closing scenes at Ap- pomattox. The muskets of the confederates were allowed to remain stacked on the field. {he grass caught fire in some way, and was allowed to burn. So suddenly had the fighting ceased on the morning of the 9th that thousands of the pieces were left loaded. As the flames of the grass crept | along the line of stacked muskets the guns were heated to firing heat, and soon there was incessant popping. The balls went up into the air almost straight, until the force of the discharge was spent, and then drop- ped down.

A refuge for superannuated and disabled commercial travelers and for the widows and orphans of knights of the gripsack is to be built in Binghamton, N. Y., during the coming spring. The organization which bas undertaken this task is the Commercial Travelers’ Home Association, which was formed in Elmira, N. Y., October 31, 1891.
