BUFFALo, y. \, Eel. /, 1853,

1'tFfAbo y. ! e, Ell. , 1898,
GENTLEMEN Il have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt Of your letter
of the 18Th ult., inviting me to be pres
ent at tie elevation Of the statue OF
Washington to its position on the ''Vir-
glnla Washington Monument" i'll the
city Of Richmond, on the 22d day Of
February, instant, and regret exceeding
ly that my engagements are such as to
deprive me of the pleasure of accepting
your invitation.
Your State is justly entitled to great
credit for erecting this noble monument
to her peerless son as Il tribute of graft
tude to bis memory. But the fame of
Washington is more enduring than mou-
umeutal brass, or sculptured marble ::
and when that proud pile of granite shall
have crumbled to iust, and that beauti-
ful bronze statue with which it is crown
ed shall be exhibited as an ancient relic
in some future museum, the name of
Washington will shine with increased
lustre IN the brightest page of his coun-
try's history. Surely, then, nothing
which ! could do or say could add to this
undying fame; but, nevertheless, l
should rejoice to testify, by my presence
on this interesting occasion. my deep
veneration and profound respect for the
character of Washington.
Perhaps there was never time when
his unselfsh example and prophetic
warnings were of more Importance to
the country than now. That Urion
which he sacrificed so much to establish
is threatened; that warning which he
left as a paternal legacy to his country
is slighted, and a growing discomfort,
north and south, cannot fail to create
anxiety in the breast of every true pat
riot
AT time like this, 1 should rejoice to
meet my countrymen from all parts of
this widespread republic, at the Monu-
ment of Washington reared by his own
native State, and there, upon that sacred
altar, as children of our revolutionary
sires, pledge for ourselves sour lices and
0ur sacred honOrs," to maintain this gov.
ernment, and "to frown Indignantly upon
the first dawning OF any attempt to alien
ate any portion Of our country from the
rest, or TO enfeeble the sacred ties which
now link together the varisus parts
| beg of you. gentlemen. to accept my
grateful thanks for the honor you have
done me by deeming me worthy of an
invitation to be present on this interest
ing occasion and permit me to subscribe
myself, your friend and fellow -citszen,

No MORE MADElRA-A. Funchal,
correspondent of the Philadelphia Led
ger, says that it is now an open question
whether any more Madeira wine will
ever be produced. None has been made
since 1851, and there are now only some
seven or eight thousand pipes upon the
entire island. All recent attempts to
manufacture the wine have utterly fail

old grape arbors, once covered with

Senator Hunter, in his address on
Washington, at the Richmond celebra-
tion-an address. by the way, which
some admiring Democratic editors have
been rash enough to compare with the
immortal Grafton of Everett-seems a
little in doubt az to whether Caesar or
Washington was the more efectually
great Indeed, he seems so much in
doubt that he doesn't know his own mind
on the subject. In one part of his ad-
dress, speaking of the relative fewness
ofthe great masters Of human affairs, he
says:
Such undoubtedly was the fame of
Caesar, for he who founded the Roman
empire and its institutions made the
deepest and most sensible impression
upon human society of all the men whose
names have as yet been known"
In subsequent passage lie refers to
Washington in the following terms:
"A name which represents more OF
human fame because it has more deeply
affected human destiny than any other
which figures in the annals of man"
Now, unless two spirits, unlike two
bodies, can occupy the same space at
the same time, the Virginia Senator will
most certainly ha to dethrone one OF
these august shades. Which shall 1t be!

Tie Effects Of Observation-Disclosures
Piazza Smith, the Astronomer Royal for
Scotland in his interesting account of a
recent scientific expedition made by him
to the Peak of Teneriffe, has set at rest
the questio REGATTA of the heat IF the

metrical instruments were scnsibly atfec-

different elevations. In tropical eli

moonlight rapidly becomes putrid and

4 Good Addition.--A pious old gen
tleman, one of the salt of the earth sort,
went out into the field to catch his mare
hat was wont to bear him to town. He
moved on the most approved mode. He
shook measure of corn at her to delude
her into the belief that she was to get it;
but she was not to be deceived by any
such specious act. She would come nigh
and then dash off again, uutil the good
man was fretted very badly. At last he
got her in corner among some briars,
and made a dash at her, when she boun-
ded over the wall and left him sprawling
among the bushes. His christian forti-
tude gave way at this, and gathering
himself up. he cried-FOh, hell" The
ejaculation had passed his lips before he
thought, but Immediately conscious of
its wickedness, he said-"lelujah !" and
translated the profane word into note
of triumph.

Hoo to Preserre Powder Magazines
from Erplosion.-General Piobert, of the
French Artillery, and member of the
Institute, has made discovery by which
the explosion of gunpowder in magazines
may be prevented. 1t consists simply
of mixing the gunpowder with coal dust
When the gunpowder is required for use,
it is only necessary to sift it; the coal
dust falls through the sieve, and the gun
powder resumes its original qualities
The experiment has been tried on
large scale with complete success. A
magazine filled with gunpowder SO mix
ed was set on fire. "No explosion took
place." says the Moniteur de PArmce
"the gunpowder burned like other com
bustible matters, such as pitch or tar, and
the fire was extinguished with common
pumps"

Informed Us that just before his marriage
he was warned, by several, of the lady's
fiery disposition, and, to test the accura-
cy of the information, one evening, as he
sat next to her at dinrer. he managed
cleverly to jog the servants elbow as a
plate of mock-turtle soup was Cffe:ed
her, which of course was upset over the
young lady's white dress of tulle lace
No complaint, nor even frown, being
evinced, the delighted suitor concluded
that what he had heard was a mistake,

of lamb who had been fed upon mash

Cruel. So the marriage took place but
soon the lady's real character displayed
itself, as is always the case after mar
riage, but never before, and his wife, like
a human Stromboli was subjected to
fiery eruptions every ten minutes, upon
fair average. 'How is it, my dear

such bad temper, you stood the ordeal

DEMOCRATIC ECoNoMY.-Among the
Senate documents recently printed is a
statement of the receipts, expenditures,
and appropriations of the Federal Gov
ernment from the commencement of the
Government under the Constitution,
March 4th, 1889, to the end of the last
fiscal year, June 30th, 1857. This doe
ument shows an increase of Government
expenses during the Democratic admin
istration of the Government since 1851,
which should, of itself, be sufficient to
crush out any party that can be proved
guilty of such appalling extravaganza.
The total amount of expenditures for
the whole period included in the state
ment was 81 90S, ,3O2. .371 SO, nearly two
thousand millions of dollars. or an aver
age expenditure, including the extrava-
gance of the last five or six years, of
about $29,400,000 during the whole
sixty-eight years. This average, how
ever, is not much more than one-half of
the average expenditures since the in
auguration of President Pierce. The
increase since that time has been enor-
nous, and demands the attentive consid-
Grafton of the people. A cotemporary
has made the comparison of the details
of the appropriations of the fiscal year of
1S51-52, and those of the fiscal year of
iSj6-57, an interval of five years under
Democratic administrations. Here is
the astounding record:
ls5l-52 1867
Civil List .-.....s 3 522OIo s 7,64s275
Miscellaneous ----------- l0,479,636 2o442,s60
Indian Department ------ l,7S4l79 4,9S0,704
Naval Department .----- 1,s53O42 H,1l7,4A
Mark the rates Of increase in the short
space of only five years. The expenses
have run up i'll that time so as to show
an increase in the Naval Establishment
of nearly 100 per cent, Civil List 120
per cent Miscellaneous 12O per cent,
Military Service $50 per cent, Indian
Department 17S pei cent.
That is, the expenses, in the short
term of five years, have, in the naval
establishments, nearly doubled in the
civil list and miscellaneous, more than
doubled; aud in the Indian Department
nearly trebled The average increase,
taking the whole together, is III per
cent. In 1Sj1-52, the receipts were
about S50,0OO,O00 In 1S56-57 they
were about S69,0OO,OOO. This shows
an increase of So per cent, OF a little
aver third more. The increase of ex-
penditures during the same time was 127
per cent, showing that the expenses ran
ahead Of the receipts so per cent.
1t cannot be contended that the actu-
al requirements of the government have
increased in anything like the ratio of
increase of expenses. There has been
no need during the Democratic admins
| trations of Pierce and Buchanan of any
very material increase in the govern
meut expenses over what they were I'M
der the administration of Mr. Fillmore,
yet we find them more than double what
they were then. These facts are surely
enough to attract the attention of the
people, and occasion a demand for re-
t euchment and reform which will never
b, re ,lized so long as the Democratic
party is retained in power.-LouisciHc
