The Arlington Estate.
ANN Cr.uEopn (NpIINTy VA

hlCl1laND, DAhfronb N'oN1 -,
June l6, 1873.
To the editor of the Daily Chronicle, Washing
ton, ID. c.:
SIR: My attention has been called to an
article in your issue Of the l4th inst. upon the
darlington Estate" While the statements
contained therein are generally inaccurate, it is
not my purpose here to question any right or
title under the shadow Of which the Govern
ment still retains possession of Arlington, but
simply to pronounce untrue the assertion that
Mrs. General Ice has AN agent employed in
Washington counting the loca press and cores
pondents of outside journals" or that she EN-
ploys Influential gentlemen to manipulate the
newspapers. Any article that may have APP
peared in any paper in behalf OF her. claim to
her Arlington property has been entirely with
out her knowledge or consent.
Such published declarations as yours l re-
gard as unfortunate, not as detracting from the
character of Mrs Lee, but as tending to re-
kindle bad feelings between the two sections
of the country, lately at war, the one against
the other, and of retarding tho era OF peace and
fellowship devoully desired by soldiers and citl-
zcns of both sectious living once moro III
common country.
| will be very glad to know that you have
corrected your article, because it will produce q
wrong impression in moro ways than one.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant.
F1TZnUGn LEE.

SENATOR MrrcuELL-We have heretofore
noticed the charges that have been made against
Mr.. Mitchell, the new q. s. Senator from Ore
gon, to the effect that Mitchell deserted his
PENNSYLVANIA wife and family, robbed his law
partner, Hon. John N. Thompson, of six thou
sand dollars, fled from the State. and subsequent,
" committed bigamy in Oregon. MIR. Mitchell
has now made response to these charges. :.
lie admits that he was driven by domestic
difficulties" to leave Pennsylvania, and he &C
knowledges that he changed his name, which
was John Mitchell Nipple, to John Nipple
Mitchell. This he did under the impulse of in-
tense suffering, and he now regrets it as unne-
cessary and foolish. The charge that he de-
frauded his law partner is denied by that gen,
teman himself, and the good character OF MIR.
Nipple, or Mitchell whilst residingiD Pennsyl :
vania, is certified to by Senator Cameron and
other well-known gentlemen. 10 the particulars
of his domestic troubles MIR. Mitchell de-
ciues to refer, but it is certain that be was d-
vorccd from his first wife long before ne mar
ricd the second time, and the evidence prescott
cd in his behalf indicates that the grounds upon
which he procured release from his matri,
monial obligations were Of kind that justified
his action.-Bah american.

Fiendish Work.

Norwich, Con-, June l6.-Three men were
arrested at Plainfeld last night and are now in
the city prison here, charged with placing OBJ
structions upon the track of the Norwich and
Worcester railroad on Sunday morning. The
engineer, Sidney 2. Cooper, and Geo. Harvey,
fireman, were severely injured by the escaping
steam from the locomotive. A plank was
placed on the track just below the depot at
Daysvillc, but was swept off by the cowcatcher.
About two hundred feet further on the engine
encountered tie in the very heart of the vii.
lage, and swept it some FIVE hundred feet to a
switch, where it caught in the frog, and threw
the locomotive from the track. The whistle
blew ''down brakes" and every effort was
made to keep the train on the roadbed, but the
speed was so great that the engine could not be
stopped, and it swept the capstones from the
bridge over the Fivemile river, and the loco
motive and three cars, containing sixteen per-
sons fell into meadow some fourteen feet be-
the ruins After an hours labor they were
extricated, badly bruised and scalded, but are
reported as doing we'll to-day. At a meeting
of citizens a reward of $1,000 was pledged on
behalf of the town, to be paid on conviction Of
the rascals who were guilty Of this diabolical
crime.
SOME SNAKE-One day last week, at the
residence of Mr.. Rudolph Castlebarger, about
a mile beyond the corporate limits, Mrs G.,
an old lady sixty-6ve years of age, had occasion
with two small children, to visit an upper
chamber Of the house, where spying something
on the floor, and rcmarkiDg at the time that
''young people were so careless, stopped to
PICK up what she supposed to be coil of false
hair, when, to her great horror, the. article
proyed to be an enormous black snake. The
old LADY and children were so terribly ftighten-
ed as to be thrown into commissions. The SER
nent when killed, measured eight feet, six
inches and halt, and will be turned over to a
taxidcrmist for stuffing and preservation.

How TO MAKE TEA.-A lady who has kept
house forty,fv years says it may be all very
we'll to lay down the rule that tea must not be
boiled. She says pouring hot water on the
leaves, and then pouring the tea into the cups
at once may suit the people Of China, where the
article is not aduIterated, but here she claims
that it is idle to talk Of drinking tea that has
not been boiled slowly seven or eight minutes.
The tea doctors disagree, aud as we all buy our
own tea and drink it, We have to pay our money
and can take our choice of simple pour, or
"sloW boil" as to our tea

A QUARREL IN THE WATER = Pratcr and
Dayton, two Detroit youths, had a falling out
lately concerning young lady. Maldened by
a report that Dayton meant to maui him at the
first opportunity, Pratcr started out on the war
path, that he might wreak vengeance upon his
enemy. He found him just gong out for sail,
and caping into the boat made fierce attack
upon his rival, both tumbling into the water.
Hardly word was spoken, but the two men
fought fercely, and both went down fighting
one hand and striking with the other. The
other parties in the boat attempted to separate
the combatants, but could not At length Pra-
ter, who was the weaker man of the two, be,
came so exhausted that he relaxed his grip and
went down. Dayton did not hesitate to go after
him, and he caught him by the hair, rose WITH
him and held him up until both were pulled
10. Pratcr was about as near dead as live man
could be, and was in bed and quite i'll for some
time after.

AM ENeLIsu MILLIONAIRE When people
talk about millionaires they usually mention
Rothschild first, but there is man in England
by the name of Ward, in comparison with
whom any Rothschild is a pauper. This man
Ward inherits vast property with accumulat-
ed investments and estates, which give him an
enormous income; he has the most magnificent
house in London, the finest collection of art,
and the finest country seats in the Kingdom;
his wife is celebrated for her beauty, and her
display of diamonds at the recent festival
given by the Emperor Of Austria in Vienna
made all the other ladies, the Expresses,
Queens, and Princcsses look poor. What
the income of this CrGsus is we have never
seen any statement OF, but Manchester pa
per gives an account of his annual profits
derived from his coal mines, which amount to
the enormous sum of e4,900,000. So the
income from one source alone OF this in
ordinately wealthy person is not much short OF
twenty-five millions Of dollars year.
