THE WHITE House IN 17s4.-A Mr.. Wansey,
whose published notes of tour in this country in
1884 have recently been the subject Of notice in
the American papers, gives the following descrip-
| ton of breakfast at the White House. Will the
the breakfast in these days bear comparison with
| this?
"Mrs. Washington herself made tea and coffee
for us. On the table were two small plates of
sliced tongue dry toast bread and butter; but no
broied fish, it is the general custom. Miss
Gusts, her grand daughter, pleasant young lady
OF about sixteen. sat next her brother. Geo-ee
Washington Cusis, about two years older than
herself There was little appearance offorn-no
livery. silver urn, for hot wafer, was the only
expensive thing on the table. Mrs. Washington
appears to be something older than the President,
robust, very plain in her dress"
DECIDEDLY GooD.-The Washington Union, in
noticing a recent meeting of the Democracy at
Baltimore, says that it was n meeting Of monsters
("monster meeting'') We are not at all surprised
at the immense crowd which the Union speaks of
as having been drawn together on the OCCASION
An exhibition of monsters is the thing to draw a
full crowd any where. We have good many OF
this strange race of beings in Petersburgh; but we
are afraid, from present appearances, that, unless
Burnum gets hold of them, they will not soon be
grouped and ticketed for an exhibition.

found sufficient to ensure against the possibility
ofthe appearance of this frghful disease.
An OLD FILE of papers contains the following,
which is not bad:
| 4 lady asked her husband what the difference
was between expectation and transportation. MY
DEAR replied the good natured husband, there is
difference andI will endeavor to bring it as
your understanding as possible: suppose you were
exported, l should befransported"
Very TauE.-The taxes indeed heavy-said
DR.. Franklin on one occasion-and if those laid on
by the government were the only ones had TO
pay, we might easily discharge them:-but
we have many Others. We are taxed much for
| our ideness three times much for our pride, and
| four times as much for our folly, and from these
the commissioners cannot ease or deliver us by al
lowing any abatement.
PoErnY WELL ArrLEp.-The great split in the
Democratic party of Hamilton county Ohio, and
other parts of the State, caused by the exposure of
the secret Miami Tribes, is aptly described by the
poet as follows:
| ''They stand aloof, the scars remaining
| Like cliffs that have been rent asunder;
| A dreary sea flows between,

A SrRAIclrroUT.-We learn from the Dayton Ca
zette, that at the Scott poll raising in that city
Wednesday last, Patrick Kelly, Esq, being called
out by the people, made an address in which he
avowed his intention to support Scott and Graham.
Mr.. Kelly in 1919, was the democratic candidate
in that District for Representative. He is fluent
and effcientsp speaker, and will do good service for
