such States whose civil or military renown

The Irish Cadet at West Po,p,

The circumstances related in an extract from
the Springfield Republican, printed in our

Of the western districts In Massachusetts, ap-
pointed successiyely three young persons 10

lack OF brains sufficient TO carry on the course
OF studies pursued in that institution. These
appointments had been made under a pressure
OF influential Recommendations one OF them
was recommended by General Scott himself,
and dismissed within year.
Mr.. Dawes was almost in dlspalr. The repu.

failures of the yohng men sent by him 10 the

become an applicant himself. He resolved
that II he could find a boy, high or low, who
could stand fire at West Point he would appoint
him cadet. Accidentally tho fame of an Irish
lad, who had been making astonishing strides
IN learning at the public schools in his district

Pennsylvania Avenue.

The Commissioner of Public Buildings, Col.
b. B. French, has been induced TO make the
following explanation In reply to comments
recently made upon the condition of the
Avenue;
have only 10 say that Pennsylvania avenue
is four miles long and one hundred and sixty
feet wide, aud prior to the establishment Of
that blessing to all citizens, the horse railroad
was pretty much cut to pieces by omubuses
and the work of injury has since been nearly
completed by army wagons. To keep all nj,
road in repair, Congress appropriated last yCal
six thousand dollars.
| called the attention Of Congress to the con-
dltion of the avenue in my last report, and Ia
the inadequacy of the appropriation, and asked
for tWeRty thousand dollars, which sum, Judi.
ciously expended, might keep the avenue In
decent order. By some means, the sum asked
by me was reduced, in the printed estimates tC
siE thousand dollars, sum as entirely made
quate to the purpose as six thousand cents
would be; and the Committee of Ways and
Means have, ! understand, agreed to report
that small sum, Notwithstanding that ! went
before them and stated the error, (if error II
was, } and Informed them that Pennsylvania
avenue must continue in a state of nuisance
unless a more generous appropriation were
made.
The appropriation Of last year was long since
exhausted In GndCaYOrs to make the avenue
tOlcrablC by patching the worst places along II,
and removing the dust and mud. ! have done
my utmost with the means placed in my hands,
and can do no more until further means are at
my disposal, and $1,000 will do but little, as
all practical men must be aware.
