WASHINGTON d. C. FRIDAY OCTOBER H. 1870.

IS daily covered with fragrant boquetS arranged
by delicate hands, luscious fruit in season, in
fact, this gray haired, kind-hearted Old gentle
man holds a place in the regards of al in his
employ that younger men might envy. During
recess, about noon, beyy OF girls NAV be found
in his Office prOpOundiDg dozers OF question:
which he pleasantly answers, and at the same
time contiB ss 10 sign his name 70 the hundreds
OF papers requiring his signature. for he never
allows talk TO interfere with his business. He
prides himself with justice upon the integrity
and correctness OF all the business of his office,
and kind a he Is 10 a fault, every thing mast be
square TO the extent of a penny, or a figure in
the work Of his bureau.
WHAT THEY DO WITH THEIR MONEY.
A great majority of the female clerks receive
$500 per annum, Though very few save anything
out of IT. "A large number have families de-
pending upon them for support; others have no
one TO provide for but themselves, and spend
their earnings in dress and all kinds of tom
tOOlery In their efforts 10 outshine their neigh
bors; yet quite a humber save something from
their salaries, many OF them giving Gen. Spin
ner, their treasurer, five or ten dollars out of
Their salaries every month, which he carefully
locks up III his huge safe until enough y saved
10 purchase so bond. Already some Ut the
female clerks have eight or nine hundred dol
lars worth of bonds apiece, and a pretty large
number have from five TO ten tfty-dollar bonds
WILL TALK.
Although repeated efforts have been made by
.hc Oit4CiaiN to put u stOp 10 tHe cnatter OF the
female employees, nothing has been accom-
plished towards stopping their tongues during
office hours, and all hopes OF breaking up TINS
practice have long Since been abandoned. Talk
TO each other they will, in spite of all threats
coa1ing, and promises. Yet. as general thing.
they are attentive TO their business and prompt
in their attendance.
CHOW DO LOoK?"
Somebody has said that a lady cannot pass a
lookingglass without viewing herself; at any
rate net one of the many girls leave the Office
without parting look in the mirror, a final a,l-
justment of the hat, and glance at her general
appearance, ending by an adiustmen: OF the
skirts before making an exit to the street.
THEIR PERSONAL APPEARANCE,
as general thing, is neat and becoming for Of
fetal duties, though there are OF course many
Who put on more style than is absolutely neces-
saIy" The counting of money tor redemption
is considered dirty work, many of the notes be-
lrg greasy and badly mutilated. Most Of the
clerks having this work TO perform cover their
arms from the wrist to the elbow with q half
sleeve, and with neat aprons in front save their
dresses from being soiled, and always present
neat appearance.

CINCINNATI, Oct. I3.-PubIjc interest il evil

Congress. Delegates are constantly arriving,
and the number has IL srePsed from . 10 20,
among whom appear two governors and two ex-
bers who have been depufsd by governors 20
represent hem in congress.
The first paper read In the morning vas an
able one by Judge Rotsrt Pitnsn, OF Massa-
chusetts, on the terms Of sentences, the proper
length OF which, he said, was a matter perplex-
ing and difficult. He thought Il desirable that
greater equality be secured for TIE same or like
offences, and suggested several means to that
end.

iHE PHlLADELPHIA ELECTION DIFFICULTY
lished last evening dispatch from Philadel-
phia giving an account Of a difficulty which
occurred in that city yesterday At the meeting
of the return judges to count the ballots, during
which Crawford, q return judge, shot q man
named Shea Nolan in the neck. Later dis
patches say that there was much excitem ant
for several hours, but fortunately the city es-
capped any Iurther disgrace. Mayor Fox and
several Of his police officers were absent in New
York attending the funeral Of Police Superin-
tendent Jourdan. The case of Crawford was
heard before Judge Allison. After listening to
the evidence on both sides, the judxe ordered
the return of the prisoner 10 Q meeting OF the
reiarn judges, so as to complete the Official
count. Judge Allison took occasion to censure
the police force for suffering such a disturb
ance, and said it was q disgrace to the CITY that
such an affray should have occurred SO near the
courthouse. Crawford was then Conducted
back to the return judges room, and after com
pletion OF the count was conveyed to prison by
the rear Of the building, in order to prevent any
attack upon him by the crowd that at thai
time nearly blocked up Chestnut street. A riot
was seriously threatened, and many arrests
were made.

GIN. LEES DEATH-WHAT BECOMES OF
ARIIE GT"N"-It is SUPP oSed by many that the
government holds pc session OF Arlington by
reason Of he confscatOn act, and according to
the provisions OF that law the title can ONLY be
vested in the goyerrne1 1T diving the lie of the
pal,y who engaged in the rebellion, hence il is
said that Arlington now reverts TO the heirs of
Gen. Lee. Such is not the case, however, az the
property - not held under the confs fscation act
not having belonged TO Gen. Lee. At tue death
OF Mr.. Gusts, a life interest in IT was beaueathed
10 Mrs. Lee, his daughter, and at her death il
was to go to his grandson's, Gusts ard
FrZhugh Lee. The taxes upon the properly
having accumulated during the rebellion il
was sold therefor, and purchased by the
government; thus it viii be seen il is held
by virtue OF a tax title. Sub cquently efforts
were made to redeem 1t by paying the amount
of taxes, but 80 far have been unsuccessful. and
the title is still vested in the government by
virtue OF the tax-sale alluded to. As the Airing
ton estate has now been converted into a great
rational cemetery, and is filed with the bones
of those who fell i'll the war OF the rebellion. II
can not well be used Tor any other purpose, and
its possession could hardly be desirable to the
Lee family.

PARKS AT HUNTINGToS.-We understand
that the pl opI etors OF the rev iowa OF Hunt
ineton, on the Baltimore and Potomac railroad
have given TO the place two handsome parks
which are to be surveyed and laid Off, fencedip
and otherwise much improved at an early day
These parks are both centrally located in said
town, and lie one upon either side of the rail-
road, and each embrace groves OF fire shade
trees, fine springs OF water, etc. We are glad to
see this; 1t is what makes a counti place agree
able and pleasant. Our people do not want to
go into the country to be housed up Just as they
are in the streets of the city. IT Huntington Is
10 be laid out for all to enjoy in common, with
parks for daily resort, and with suff fcent as.ur-
ance for being built up, we predict that at this
important point Of our new railroad will be
found pleasant and happy neighborhood for
our towrG-people.
To in measure repay them for the liberal
donation OF these public benefits, the proprie-
tors have, We understand, decided to hold the
building lots surrounding and fronting these
paris at fifty dollars each, instead Of twenty
tve dollars, at which latter figure the lots are
now selling. All will admit that the lots are
well worth the money in either case and that
the paris will be q continual pleasure to all
residents there. A number Of our city people
are already erecting future homes at Hunting
ION, anu All certainly loofs most prom sing.
We shall look forward to the entire success of
this suburban place, and endeavor to from time
to time advise orr readers OF progress made.
