—_— The annual picnic of the Baptist Sunday School Union was in all respects a success; The many distinguished ministers and news paper men present, added much to the interest of the occasion. The most interesting part of the day was the erecting of a monu~ ment by 40 of the small children under thearchitectural supervision of Mi. H. Price Williams of the National Republican. Fine music and the best of order, were the delights ot each heart. It is reported that the Rev. Mr. Podd, ot Chicago, will fill the pulpit of the 15th St. Presbyterian charch during the month of Au- gust. He has been invited to do so by the committee appointed by congregation to secure a regular pastor forthe church. The com- mittee intends to invite several prominent ministers in different parts of the country to preach with this object in view. Rev. A. J. Miller, of ‘Natchez, Miss., has been visiting the city in company with his wife. During his sojourn he has twice delivered his very eloquent lecture entitled, “The Mistakes of Our Colored AUTHORIZED AGENTS. EAsT WASHINGTON. etcher, 1322 B Street Northeast.

By the way,I notice that. the order of Commissioner Black about the annual leayes of clerks in the Pension Office has been re- voked, and they can have thirty day in a lump, like the employes iu the other departments. Last spring the Commissioner ruled that a clerk was entitled to two and one half days each month, and that if he took it his vacation in July he could not have but fif- teen days; if he took it in Septem- ber twenty days, and could not have thirty days unless he went away in December. This decis- ion was made in the case of a lady who applied tor her leave in March and wanted to spend the month in Florida. The Commissioner granted her only seven and a halt days, and threatened to withhold her pay if she was absent longer, taking the ground that if she should die in Florida the Govern- ment would be robbed of 224 days’ work, As the lady was in delicate health, the-reply to her applica- tion was not very cheerful reading, Tue CapitaL published the facts at the time, and predicted that Secretary Lamar would not ap- prove of any such measure. When the rule was brought to his atten- tion officially a few days ago he revoked it—Sub Rosa in The Cap- ital. kindness of Col. J. M.

Some one of the ancients phi- losophizing cn dancing said; “ lhe Gods pitying the toils which our race is born to undergo have aps pointed holy festivals in which men alternate rest with labor. For what men say is that the young of all centuries can not be quiet in their bodies nor in their voices. They are always wanting to move and cry out; at one time leaping and skipping and overflowing with sportiveness and delight at some thing and then again uttering all sorts of cries, But whereas other avimals have uo perceptions of order or disorder in their move- ments, that is of rythm or harmony as they are called, to us the Gods, as we say, have been appointed to be our partners in the dance, have given the pleasurable sense of harmony andrythm and as they stir us into life and we follow them aud join hands with one and another in dances and songs and these they call choruses which is a turn naturally expressive of cheerfulness.” Indeed the encients live to day in thought and merri- ment as one would most naturally think after witnessing the excel- Jent excursion on Thursday Eve. As the sun was slowly sinking in the deep bosom of the ocean the beautiful steamer Corcoran movea out into the channel of the Poto- mac and like a thiny of life wend- ed her way to Marshall Hall the eden of pleasure. For certainly no spot along the line is more beau- uful. In honor be it said that the management was thorough in de- tail. Mach officer stood at his post and performed his duty well. Every man manifested an interest in the excursionists and no one of the five hundred persons who went down the river regrets that he went. For the unanimous verdict was that it was the best of the best of the season. The choruses of the Glee were simply immense. ‘The voices one by one were rich and musical. One would scarcely know that these were the same voices that often times have been styled the pride of the town so vast was the im- provement. In fine everything was superb. CITIZENS MEMORIAL MEET- ING. The citizens’ memorial meeting in honor ot the late Rey. Wm, Gib- bons, held at the Israel Metropoli- tan ©.M.E. church, Ist and B sts.,8. w., Wednesday evening July 28th was very interesting. The choir rendered appropriate music. Hymn 664 was also sung. Invoca- tion by Rev. R. H. G. Dyson, of the Wesley Zion A. M. E. church.” The following occupied seats on the pulpit: Revs. Cross, Kelly, Prof. W. B. Johnson, John E. Par- dy. Letters of commendation and regret were read by the Secretary, J. D. Baltimore, from Commission- er and W.C. Cosby. The chairman, Mr. C. H. Mar- shall, made a brief and eloquent address. He tenderly eulogized the exalted christian and general character of the deceased as being abaptist by name and principle, but in practice a universalist. He then introduced Prof. Pardy, who styed hima great and good man. Prof, J. D. Baltimore was the next speaker, as all may well realize his tasteful selections and natural elo- quence. He did full justice to the cause. Mr. W. W. White, was neither backward nor short in bringing out the fulli- est element of ministerial manhood in the life he lived in the world. <2 + -- Stop there, wash your face clean, and prepare for the Cadets’ excursion to Richmond, Va., Aug, 3rd.
