MOUNT VERNON AND IFS RELICS.

Correspondence Of the Boston journal.
The magnificent painting of Washington
at the siege of Yorktown, by Rembrant
Peale, and valued at 10,000, was p; esented
to the Mount Vernon Association, May 10,
by Mrs. Underwood, of New York,
daughter of the artist. The painting rep
resents Washington mounted CG spirited
gray horse, indicating the position for a
new battery, surrounded by Lafayette,
Knox, Hamilton, Lincoln and Rochambeau.
IL is framed in massive black walnut
molding from tree grown OF the estate of
Rob 1T Morris, one OF the siglefs of the
Declaration of Independence, IN Morrisyille,
n. j., and it occupies and nearly covers the
rear end of Banquet Hall.
The cabinet of relies in the east parlor
has been improved by the addition of a red
gilt banner, with English arms, taken at Ger
mantOWn, a field glass Of Gen. Washington,
and aswOrd or cutlaGs with the word Soon
stantinOpis" etched upon the Glade, said to
have been picked up by Washington on some
battlefield. Thse articles were presented
through President Grant by parties in Har-
risburg.
Visitors 81 Mount Vernon Will remember
the covered passage connecting the Banquet
Hall with the kitchen. This is falling into
decay, and is about to be rebuilt with iron
columns, cast in New York, in place of the
present wooden ones. The south kitchen
is to be connected with the other enc Of the
mansion in the same way, as Was the case
in Washington's time.

THE PERILs OF THE BALLOON.

Mr.. Frank X. King, son Of Professor S.
A. King, of this city, who made balloon
ascension from the Lamoille valley fair
grounds, Morrisyown, Vt, OF the Fourth Of
Jolly, had a pe-ilous experience. When
about two and baif miles up he encoun-
tered a snow storm, which covered the bal
loon near,y al inch thick and sent it down
rapidly. The balloon was seen 10y several
farmers whe1 : it landed, about fOrty-fVe
minutes after it went up, and about eight
miles ON where the ascent was made.
Not hea ing anything from young King, a
party was organized and search made. Ii
was estimated that there were five hundred
men in the forest at O'Clock Sunday morn
ing. The balloon was found at about II
O'Clock. and young King came out about
the same time, having been in the wilder
ness almost forty-eight hours without any
food He was very much exhausted from
cold and hunger, but uninjured, although
he says q bear came within q few feet OF
him on Saturday night, snuHed around aDd
left. Intense excitement prevailed al
through the valley for the safety of the
young man, and at his appearance there
was great rel iCin0.-BOSt0a AdoerttSer
July 9.
The above is probably better in its re-
suits than an average balloon excursion
and the question may be asked whether the
good achieved pays for the great perils en-
eountered, and the expense incurred? II
ride in snCw-storm on the Fourth Of July
and he forty eight hours in tie woods with
out food, and "snufied around" by bears
are more exciting han profitable.

CoxnITION OF MIR. WILSON.

1t was stated few days since that Vice
President Wilson was suffering from en- 8 =
tack similar TO that which eventually took
off Chief Justice Chase. The Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
states that definite Information has reached
Vice President Wilson s friend in that city
in regard to his physical condition. He has
had a well defined, though rather slight, at
tack OF paralysis. The stroke deprived him
of tile control of the muscles of one side OF
is face, and has considerably disfigured
him. 1t has as q consequence somewhat
affected his speech. He has had the ser
vices and advice of several of the most dis
tinguished physicians who hsve made
the treatment of paralysis a specially, and
they hold out strong hopes of permanent
recovery, in case he will wholly abstain fIom
brain work for the present. 1t is regarded
as extremely doubtful whether the physl-
clans will consent to his presiding in the
Senate at The opening of the next session.

MILWAUKEE,.
Convention Of Underwater.

MILWAUKEE, July IL The Convention
of Underwriters Of the NoIthEes. met at
Newhall houe to-day, After prelimin-
marie, r, j. Smith, president, addressed
the convention as folio s: In nay opinion
the most desirable legislative action in re-
ference to Gre insurance Ee could have,
would be for the General Government, ia
stead of State, to take all organizations in
the business uBder lis care Y the enac,-
ment of a general insurance law in many
respects similar to the national banking
law, thus doing aw y with all supervision
and atthe same time Facing all organiza-
tions Of the country under charge Of one
deDsrtment, the requirements Of which
should be such that the interests OF all con-
cerned will protected an d guarded with
out being burdensome or needle3sly in
ouisitoriaE then If tE0 companies we're
required 20 have given amount CT capital
besides worSiDg surplus, and make state
menls Ct the actual condition when called
upon, instead Of 1t certain fixed cate as
now, We should feel that the supervision
would be wholesome while the Companies
would be relieved of vast amount Of labor
and expense attendant upon separate state
meuts for insurance officials Of each State,
which all must admit affords but little pro-
lection TO policy holders.

nARINIa RARRERY.

Monday night while Mr.. G.. L. Barton,
the druggist on the corner Of Market and
S.h sire Is, was sitting in his front door,
some person rs Sed the window on Sth
street, opening into the office in the rear Of
the store, and took from the money drawer
S439. The loss vas not disc1ve- ed r
some little time, but yesterday DR.. Barton
notified q number of the merchants Gf his
loss aud asked them to keep a lookout for
the money, some Of which he said he could
recognize. Yesterday, q negro employed
a. G.. NJ. D. Heard's store, next door north
of DIR. Barton, came into Edwards store
and bought bottle Of wine, presenting
ten dollar biz i2 payment. Mir. Edwards,
suspecting som thing wrong, had the bill
sent 10 DR.. Barton, Ehc st once recog-
pized It. The negro was then arrested by
the Marshal snd $349 # money was re-
covered. The Docto: thinks he will here
after keep his money in the bank and not
in the drawer, which is a wise conclusion.

Destruction OF Valuable EsecOrds by
E . ss i4sR Fire. eF~@ - %
Special to the Louisville Courier-Journal.
WASHINGTON, July l5.-The NaEional
Capital was startled this morning by the
announcement that the Navy Department
was on fire. The fire began in the south
wing, and this portion was very badly
damaged, no. only by fire, but by the flow
of water thrown by the firemen. At 8
o'clock this morning the building
presented a dripping and dilapida-
ted appearance. Secretary Robson, for a
wonder, was in the city and cams to the
front, but too late TO be of any use. The
damage done to the books, papers and re-
cords is very considerable, and some of the
most valuable papers destroyed can not
be replaced. The expense in order to re-
place others will be very heavy, and there
will be some lively jobs in the way of en-
gaging new quarters for the displaced Of
ficials.
The origin of the fire is said to be the
spontaneous combustion Of chemicals stored
in building, which is mere finder box.
Only three inefficient watchmen were on
guard, tor vey large structure. The War
Department, with its records, and the Pen
sion and Quarterm&ster Generals bureaus
are located in buildings not fre-proof, and
it is believed by some that even the Treas
ury Department could not stand against
general conflagration. l. has been sug-
gested that all these buildings should, after
Office hours, be placed under st:ict mih-
tary guard to prevent fire or pillage; but
the administration prefers to use the troops
in keeping the carpet-baggers to plunder the
South. This is the second fire that has &C.
Cured in this building in the. past two
years.
