ney'S 'two papers, both daily" thus re
fer5 to Mr.. Dawes exposure Of the eI-
trayagance of the Grant administration
Judging from Mr.. Dawes speech, de
liyered in the House yesterday, against
the removal of the Philadelphia Navy
Yard TO League Island, we should think
he vet suffers from chagrin at defeat Of
the project to anchor our iron-clads and
other available war vessels in the ice of
Down East harbors for four or five
months of the year.

poses as part of the Constitution; pro
vided, that no State, without its consent,
shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in
the Senate.

TIE DENT.

Inthis sumptuOus apartment sits a little,
fussy, circumstantial, sclf-important indi-
vidual, rejoicing in the uniform of q
Brigadier General Of the United States
army, and filling the position of Grand
Chamberlain to the Chief Magistrate of
theland. This consequential piece of in
significance is Dent - the Dent; the
brother-in-law of The President. More
over, he is Gen. Dent. 1t is well in APP
proaching-as approach him you must
to bear this fact in mind It is no or
binary matter TO he Brigadicr General in
the United States army, and what may
seem more strange, it is no ordinary mat
ter to be q brothcr-in-law to a President.
Dent is further impressed with these
ideas, and makes it his chief duty to i'm
press all corners with the same important
views. When that impression has been
satisfactorily conveyed, Dent is ready for
business.

MRS. GRANTS BoUDoIR.


The room on the upper floor at the
southwest corner of the house, formerly
occupied by Mrs. Patterson as a bed
chamber, has been transformed into an
elegant private parlOr for Mrs. Grant.
Gliding and frescO have been brought in
to free use in hisapartment, and changed
it into a luxurious boudoir. The elegant
lace ana damask curtains, the costly
Turkish carpet, the magnificent mirrors,
and the rosewood furniture are all new,
and were mostly procured abroad eX-
pressly for this domestic retreat. Here,
when wearied with the batteries of
her admirers, and exhausted with
the studied etiquette of State &C.
casions, she retires to enjoy the IA
miliar converse of those she esteems her
particular friends. 1t is, indeed, q gem
of room, save the gliding and painting,
which are too much and too highly col
Ored. From its windows one of the most
beautiful views in America is command
ed, taking in the broad Potomac as far as
the eve can reach, with Arlington Heights
on the right, and the misty green mead
ows of the eastern shore on the left. The
room abOundS IN pretty ntlIe OrnarnintS,
statuettes, vases, pictures, costly books
and knick-knacks, mostly presents.
HOW MRS. GRANT RECEIVES.
Mrs. Grant receives her familiar friends
in her private Joudoir. More formal call
ers are ushered into the Red ParlOr. To
see the wife of the President is an under
taking of no small moment. The army
of richly-dressed servants that fill the
mansion are instructed to admit no one
until card is presented to Mrs. Grant.
And then it is required that the applicant
for the honor of paying his respects to the
wife of the President shall either be ac-
companied by some one already enjoying
the acquaintance of the hostess, or have
been previously presented to her. The
caller, moreover, must appear in full dress.

HurIey's Popular Worm Candy.

As this is really specific for Worms, and the
best and most palstable form to give TO children it
is not surprising that it is fast taking the place OF
all other preparations for wOrms-it being per-
fectly tasteless, and any child will take it.
Messrs. James Ruddle L Co: Gentlemen 1t
give me great pleasure to say, after using all the
other worm remedies known to me, with but par
tiAl relief TO my children was advised to try DR..
A T. Hurley's, and since using it, my children
have become quite well and healthy; the children
would eat it all the time, it Is so pleasant If we
wOuldlet them. believe it Is one Of the best and
safest remedies known, and ss such, recommend it
to one and ali. JAMES W. TRAVIS.

BRIGADIERS N ABUNDANCE.

Our time will not permit US to visit the
several other similar apaTtmentsa at this end
of the Executive mansion, in which are to
be found Brigadier Generals of the United
States army. Of these are Gen. Horace
Porter, who aforetime acted As one of the
military secretaries of the General of the
army, now most admirably filling the
place of private secretary to the Presi-
dent; Gen. BabCOCk, an Old-time abide
camp on the staff, lately the negotiator of
the SANTANA treaty, now assigned TO duty
in some anomalous position with the chief
of the nation; Gen. Adam Badeau, the
historian Of Grant, an apprentice .diplo-
mat under Mr. Motley, who is now in
Washington to complete his history and
discharge important social functions in
the economy of the Administration. Such
an array of Brigadier Generals about the
President is certainly well calculated to
impress one with exalted ideas of his DO
sitiOn, and also suggests the similarity of
the surroundings of majesty and mon
arChial governments. 1t is also novelty
in this country, the prOpriety of which
may well be questioned.
But while our friend from the back
woods. who twirls his hat in nervous be-
wilderment at the splendor that sur
rounds him, stands thus half dead with
fright at his own temerity in venturing
into such place, he is almost gprostrated
with terror at the approach of swallow
tailed and white glOved usher, who bows
with all the grace of French dancing
master, accompanying the bow with the
words which he reads from the card :
''Mr Snoggins, of SnOgginsville," to
which he adds, ''The President will see
