Washington, Nov. Ia; 1910
This far famed city, and metropolis of IN
Gle SAM begins to put on the signs that indi-
cate the approach Of a session Of Congress
to wit: hustle and animation. Pennsylvania
Avenue is thronged with busy folks and talk
alive politicians. All appearances seem 70
predict what is generally expected here, ses-
sion of much interest, and large gathering of
strangers.
The "log cabin" here attracted much inter-
est among our population. 1t is situated on
the Main street, near Centre Market, in the
very heart Of the city,is about 90 by 30 in size,
and the rendezvous of the Central Committee
and their friends each evening. A pole about
so feet in height, near the door, suspends at
its TOP the United states colors, and pendant
bearing inscribed the names of Harrison and
Tyler; while beneath, attached to a separate
cord, smaller white cords are suspended,
showing the names of the States that have al
ready declared decisively for the Wing can
didates. Rhode Island is at the top of these,
and underneath in succession float the names
of New Jersey, Maryland. Connecticut, Ohio,
New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Mas
sachusetts. Moderation characterizes the
conduct of the victorious party, as far as can
see, since the deception of the important news
from your State, which showed concusi,e ely
that victory had declared for their candidate.
OF course nothing is known, nor pretended
TO be known by Us concerning the persons that
are to form the new cabinet Clay, Webster.
Ewing, and Tallmadge are prominent in pub
lie expectation here. should suppose they
would be very suitable persons should they
be selected. However, no more is known on
the subject here than elsewhere, which is just
nothing at all.
Many OF the friends of the administration
are evidently very much surprised and mortif-
ed at so bad an overthrow; the more moderate
and judicious portion of the party however,
have to my knowledge, expected such an event
from the time of the reception Of the N. Caro-
lima, Maine and Georgia congressional news.
Yours, &c.

She Is constructed Of live aud white oak, but
mostly Of the latter kind, weighing, we believe,
about fifty pounds To the cubic foot. She will
draw, when launched, ten or eleven feet Of wa
ter, and no more. But when her engines, and
boilers, and guns, and all her machinery and
her fuel, Of which she can carry about eight
hundred tons, are in, she will probably draw
five feet more.
The model Of this great war steamer was
drafted by two officers Of the Russian navy,
known for their scientific and nautical knowl-
edge, and she has been built by Mr.. William
II. Brown, an experienced shipwrightof this
city. She will be noble specimen t4sesd
abroad.
her bend is gradual and symme,rical--her
wheel houses are neat and not too large, ard
her whole appearance is rich, attractive and
man-of-war like. Her bows are set off with a
large spread double headed eagle, and her stern
ditto-beneaih which are the cabin windows.
She has three masis, which, together with her
rigging, are very light Her cabins are to be
fitted up somewhat in the style Of our packet
ships, with the same kind of woods. All the
compartments below for officers and seamen
are 10 be spacious and airy. She can dis
charge at every broadsde more than four hun
dred pounds of shot. She will mount sixteen
fifty-four and thirty-two Founders on the Sec
ond deck, and two ninety six Founders called
by the humane, death dealers,on the upper deck,
which is flush fore and aft-a clean run OF two
hundred and twenty feet Her engines are
making by Durham g. Browning, and will be
about six horse power. They will be equal
TO the ship, for no expense is to be spared in
having them perfect. What her speed will
be is Of course not yet known. We can on
ly guess that she will go pretty fast if not
faster.-N. Y. Herald

The Commissioner OF Patents, being au-

himself Of this opportunity to solicit informa-
ton OF the condition and character Of the crops
in the several sections Of the country. Those
data will aid him in presenting with his an

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.

Pport Of an aged mother, had gone into the

Ions and half of wafer. Notwiihstand-

whom they could procure 10 provide the
