The Future OF WashinStou.

Atoofucy ucncTdi WullAms, VINO is warm
friend Of the District, in q recent conversation,
spoke In the most encouraging manner Of the
future Of Washington, and the rapid progress
made by the city within the past few years
Judge Williams has himself invested in real
estate here, and is erecting an elegant resi-
dence. Referring to the debt of the District,
and the many arguments put forth to show that
the city was in such a bad financial condition,
he said the debt of this city, amounted to moth
ing as compared to that Of other large cities in
the country, and he saw nothing to alarm any
one in the present Indebtedness Of the District
The people of the nation had become aroused
to an interest in the national capital and he
had no doubt that future appropriations of
Congress would be more liberal than previous
ones. The energy which the people the Dis
trict had shown in improving the city was
much to their credit, and he believed the ma
uonal government now more than ever would
see the justice and propriety Of paying its share
OF the improvements. He thought 1t a very
lame argument that Washington had no re-
sources, such as commerce or manufactures, to
make 1t great CITY, True, there IL no COM
merce here, but the federal government ex-
ponds thousands Of dollars here every day, upon
which the people could rely. There were no
disappointment in receiving their money
among those in the employ of the government,
and the large disbursement of the government
were sufficient to make Washington a great
clty.-Hdsh. Cor. Phild. Press.

NEEDLE IL HIS HEART NtRqaldr and
Frobdbiy Fatal Accident IN LOHg Island Gig
Last Friday evening, Vim. Repadan. a shOema-
ker by trade, but of late employed in a lumber
yard, came TO his boarding house. on LIST street,
Hunters Point, and, AZ was his custom before
going TO bed, laid out upon the stOOp. lie fell
asleep, and, IN rolling over, a needle, which had
been inserted in the lapel OF his coat, pierced
his left breast and penetrated the heart. He
attempted its withdrawal, but in so doing broke
the needle, leaving the point where IL first en-
tered. Physicians were Immediately called
but they could do nothing. To make an in
cision TO recover the needles point would be
certain death. They gave the unfortunate man
ehloroform, under the influence of which he
has since been; but last evening he was not
suffering as much as previously, though the
PHYSICIANS give little hope Of his recovery

THR LATEST THING IN HOTELS il suggested
ny an ingenious correspondent ct the Galveston
News 1t is to be called the .Frial Ssuitarfum
1t is TO be a huge balloon, firmly secured by
strong attachments at proper height. "Gaf-
yeston," he says, sis within one mile of the
most delightful climate in the world, and this
climate is directly overhead" To the enormous
balloon there is TO be attached a framework of
shniciently strong wire, fitted up TO accommo-
date one hundred guests. This airy saloon will
be reached by smaller balloon acting as an
elevator. When the barometer indicates dis
turbing weather, the gas can be let off and the
whole establishment brought down TO the solid
earth.

MANsARDs DOOMED IN BosroN.-The Boston
FIRE underwriters' union has Determined 10 sol-
low the course lately taken by the board in New
nork. AT its meeting Friday, il was decided
ihat after the LIST of January next, the rate OF
insurance on wooden mansard roofs should he
raised from 30 cents on 500 to 81 on the same
amount. This, of course, includes not only the
pundlng, but the insurance on all the merchan-
disc contained in il; aud it will thus be seen
That II VIII be difficult for the owner Of such a
warehouse TO let il to any merchants for ordi-
nary business purposes. The addition OF an ex-
pense or one per cent. on all the goods coming
into store would often take away anv profit
that might otherwise come from the sale Of the
same. N " 49,

point OF the government attack upon the in

Is experiencing all the rerrors of internecine
conflict. Since Friday last regular lombard
ment of the city has been in progress, the be-
sieging forces have made a number of charges
upon the positions of the insurgents. and fhe
village OF Mislata, in the suburbs, has been set
on hre by shells The loss of life has been

Is defeated. Valencia is near the Mediterra-

buildings, a valuable library and an extensive
commerce. 1t is not improbable that foreign
powers may yet be involved in trouble with the
insurrectionists, at least In the seapOrts where

SEAL OF THE CONFEDERATE STATEs.-There
has just been issued In this city o pamphlet
monograph giving an interesting history Of the
seal Of the late so-called confederate states,
which in addition to being valuable contribl-
ton to the secrets Of the "lost cause" contains
considerable archaeological knowledge on the
subject Of seals and signals. 1t appears that q
writer In Rdrper's Ma0astse in February, 1869,
under the caption Of ssThe Executive Depart
ment and Seals" made the assertion that an
tiquarians In future would search in vain for any
impression of an emblem of sovereignty OF the
U. 8. A. To refute the assertion that no seal
had ever been made seems to be one Of the
objects Of the writer Of the monograph, who
states that the seal wss made In London, ct q
cost OF one hundred and twenty-five pounds and
twelve shillings, and Was placed in the custody
Of Lieut.. Chapman, With instructions to take
1t Ct any risk safely 10 Richmond. He accom-
pIished the missio1, but % near the collapse Of
