was red headed need only be mentioned TO

A 1.eAkY Roof.

While the Superintendent OF Public
Buildings at Washington is obtaining esti--
mates and surveys, and making up his mind
to repair our Customhouse, the impartial
rain, which fails on the just and the unjust,
plays merry pranks in portions OF that
building. During the heavy shower yester-
day the room used by the assignee IN bank
ruptcy was barely habitable with the aid OF
umbrellas, top boots and Mackintoshes.
Looking into the United States Court room,
we found nearly everything and everybody
out OF the usual place. About the only dry
place in the room was the bench occupied
by Judges Wood and DureN. The Minute
Clerk, Mr. Loew. was driven from his desk,
and forced to take refuge, with his books,
in the nearest dry spot. The carpet was
well saturated, and, OF course, spoiled. The
chairs all being quite wet, the gentlemen OF
the legal fraternity were compelled to stand
or take refuge in the chairs set apart for
spectators. Possibly the damage sus aimed
throughout the whole building is more than
double the cost of the necessary repairs.

are now en- route from Maine to New Orleans
with freights for st. Louis, principally ma
terial for the bridge, and that these vessels
are so DESTROYS of obtaining return treigEts
to New York and Boston, that their owners
are offering to contract for grain to those
points at eight and ten cents per ousnei.
This offers an opportunity to our up-riyer
shippers to put their grain through to New
York at even less cost than it can be carried
from Chicago to the same point by all
water, the outside cost being. including
transfers here and below, eighteen cents per
bushel. and the vessels will be capable OF
