How the President Gets His Extra.Pay'

1t may be of interest to know that the
President never draws his salary himself,
but receives it through the First National
Bank of Washington, towhich he has given
the powcry of attorney, and the money is al
ways drawn from the Treasury by the cash
ier of that bank and placed to the credit of
the President in the bank. The warrants for
the salary of the President and Vice Presi-
dent are made out at the Treasury every
month, the former under the new law re-
ceiving S4.166. .G6 per month, and the latter
1888 ::}}3. Members of the Cabinet are paid
from the -olls of their respective depart
ments, and receipt therefor the same as all
other employees The President and Vice
President do not sign any pay roll.

THE transportation of Goals to Newcastle,
according to the New York Herald, is, from
being proverbial expression, in fair way
to become II fact. That paper learns that the
Great Eastern, after laying the new Atlantic
cable, is to take cargo from Cow Bay to
Europe, ON her return voyage, of Is, 900 tons
of coal, and that one of the principal ship
pers in Cape Breton has contracted to load
the monster steamer in fifteen days. %

THE national debt of England was 1884,
ESQ, 900 ten years ago. It now is .e785, $780,
900. These figures show reduction of 1885,
$3.50, 900 in the decade of years between 1868
and 1873-or nearly a diminution of four
millions sterling per annum. Compared with
our rate of reduction, this appears almost
ridiculous.

The VOI Hitnand, musical publication,
shows that pretty experiment In acoustics
Is within the reach Of all. Every tone OF
piano string Is composed of four or more diff
ferent sounds. They seem to be but one, and
1t il difficult to realize that four or more dis
tnct and separate notes are merged in the
sound we hear. A very keen ear can resolve
the note, and hear one and sometimes two Of
the added tones that accompany the lowest
tone. The lowest tone is very much louder
than the rest and gives tho name of the note
or group of notes. These added tones that
accompany every note Of the piano are known
as over tones. Their existence was only dis
covered few years ago, and at first II was
very hard to prove that they were really pres
ent in every note we hear from plano string.
This Is now so well understood that 1t no
longer attracts attention, and Is treated ~
one Of the common scientific facts known TO
everybody. Moreover, the number and
power OF these over tones determine the
| character or quality Of every musical sound
we hear, whether 1t be from voice or
instrument. To prove the existence of
these unnoticed and yet audible over
tones the following experiment may he
tried; Touch gently the notes G, T.,
and g, and one octave above middle 1.-TWO
foot) {, and press the keys down Till all the
sound has died away. Then, while these keys
are held down, strike the { below 1.-TWO foot
@ one quick, hard blow. The damper will
ut once full, and the sound will stop abruptly.
At the same instant will be heard u low, soft
chord from the piano. The keys arc not
struck, and yet the piano sounds plainly.
Lift the fingers, and The chord will stop at
once. Try the experiment over and the same
result will follow every time. The fingers
pressed on the three notes do not give the
chord, and yet the strings sound. The cX-
PLANTATION is easily found. The middle q had
all tho three notes In II. They were present
as over tones. The three strings correspond
ing to these over tones wcrO free to sound Us
the hampers were raised and out Of sympa-
thy with the over tones they too sounded aud
gave the same notes So we sec that these
over tones really exist in what we call the
one note OF the c string. Were they absent
we should quickly notice the changed char
acter of the note, and We should be surprised
at the thinness and cloying sweetness OF a
single really pure note without over notes.
A note without over tones would be charac-
teress, tiresome, and insipid,. Well supplied
with them, 1t Is CLANCY, individual and In
tercstipg.

How OLD Mr. Francis T. Blair Lives at Sill
yer spring.

Silver Spring station, the home OF the
famous Francis p. Blair, ought to be called
Blair station, for the old man has made 1t
celebrated, though the spring il almost as re-
markable In Its way as he. It bubbles up
from the sparkling sand u cold and free foun-
tain, and as clear and llmpid as the style of
old Mr.. Blair himself, and that is really say
ing good deal for the spring. 1t was long
ago, in 1910, We believe when Mr.. Blair, the
editor of the Globe, pitched his tent in this
neighborhood. lie has bought in all about
1000 acres, but the first purchase was not so
large. At that time land could be bought
Whereabouts for pcrhaIs $40 an acre. 1t was a
dry SOIL and 1t Il not rich to-day, but there are
grand oak forests, springs almost lnnumerablc,
and the whole Is ridge situated midway be-
tween the waters OF Black creek and the
Eastern branch, pre-cminently healthful and
conveniently near to Washington. When Mr..
Blair moved there IL must have been a pretty
wild spot. Now there are two elegant seats,
one belonging to the Hon. Montgomery Blair,
the other, usually called Silver Spring, be-
longing TO Mr.. Francis p. Blair, sr. The
former 10 half hid in q noble grove Of oaks,
with garden on one side and an orchard in
front. Old Mr.. Blair's house Ia surrounded
by trees, tastefully and rather thlckly planted,
most Of which were put In the ground by
himself. Ii would be hard to find more
cosy or tasteful retreat for the veteran Of the
press lie came here on calculation and u
deliberate study Of the advantages to morals,
health, longevity, and happiness belonging to
country life, all of which you will find set
forth In strong, nervous English In the old
Globes. And the life Of the old gen.
tleman has abundantly verified Us theo-
rics, printed more than thirty years
ago. IIe has always loved the outside
Of a house better than the inside. Some
thing Of the old spirit of Daniel Boone must
have been sucked in pretty early In his Ken
lucky home. But from study, overwork, or
constitutional predisposition when young
man he contracted q cough which threatened
consumption. His lungs were bleeding, and
he had to be blistered. Luckily, he had a
sensible doctor, who put him on horseback
aud started him of on long journey. He
had when he began riding TO be lifted on the
hor c, but he came back a new man. Since
then his horse has been his constant COM
panlon. Every morning at breakfast time
you see near the house at Silver Spring two
horses saddled. One Is for Mr.. Blair, the
other for his spouse, and soon the aged
couple start off-at no fy-away gait, but to
spend two hours In the saddle. Some years
ago the old gentleman Che Is over eighty

Pennsylvania on hunting trip. He killed
two or three deer, and came home bnoyant

In CONNECTION with comments on the
"back-pay steal" the following character
istic declaration from the Hon. Elhu b.
Washburne is being widely reprinted:

There Is refreshing ring to this which re-
calls the days when the "Old Watch Dog OF
the Treasury" was accustomed TO haranguo
the House GU questions of economy, and
drive 1t Into reductions OF the appropriation
bills. Those who knew Mr.. Washburne viii
no doubt think that he did all that he claims
TO have done, and will argue with him that
that back pay business did indeed, SAVIOR OF
theft; but very fow will agree that In these
DAYS. when energy and intelligence COM
mnnd enormous remuneration In the private
enterprises of this rapidly progressing
country Of ours, that q, 900 is too much pay
for even au average Congressman. 1t Is true
that many OF them, possibly mnJority'
could not earn that amount In any other oc'
cupatIon, but, at the same time, 1t must be
admitted that capable lawyers, successful
merchants and others who are fitted to rep
resent the American people oitentimes earn
twice as much. Tho cxtrayagant reference

The Republican majority In the United States
Senate Is too large. The Democratic party can
not accomplish any thing In the nation. In ONO
they are helpless without the Republican Lihe-
rails and the party has lost the Liberals, both Re-

movement OF the highest Importance. IL the

The first sentence of the above paragraph
Is little vague. Whether the Commercial
means that the campaign will amount to moth
Ing, or the Liberal Republican movement lie
uncertain, but 1t does not matter much either
way. 1t Is to be sincerely hoped that the
Democracy will accommodate the Commercial
and take itself out of the way. 1t will be
unkind of the Democracy II 1t does not. But
In any event we shall have demonstration

fuller and better account of the great fire

gence of the fire was received In Washing

were detailed for duty In Baltimore.
Next morning they presented report which
was infinitely superior to any ono Of those
