see the Capitol like a white spot shining
forth, but only dim!y visible to the naked
eye. Behind US ia the hills Of Virginia
mingled with the sky till the eye can n o
longer distinguish the two from each other.
The house contains large number of rooms
all small, but pleasant, most of :henl entire
ly empty, others partly furnished with flu r.
niture as it was used in Washington's time,
altho ugh not by him, but none of them as
they were at the time of his residence
Pictures representing Washington grace the
walls, and many articles of his personal use
are shown. The room that attracts the
the most attention is his bedroom where
he died. The bed, similar to the one on
which he died, is the only piece of furni-
ture; the original bed was being rapidly
whitfield up by visitors and was therefore
restored to the owner, Mrs. Robert E. Lee.
Even the cord that forms the bottom Of the
bed, has now to be renewed every month or
TWO, visitors constantly cut ting it up and
carrying off pieces oft as mementoes. The
same applies to the window sashes Anoth-
er room of 'nteres t is that in which Gener-
al Lafayette slept. Much Of the furniture
here remains as it was. After the death Of
Washington his bedroom remained closed
1Or lOng Time, according 10 Olu virginia
custom, and Mrs. Washington chose for her
bedroom room Immediately above it, in
! the roof, the only one in the house from
which she had view of his tomb. The
yard is enclosed by servants houses and at
q short distance is the garden, laid out by
Washington himself and by him planted
with lockwood which serves as hedges. At
the green house flowers, both cut md
growing in pots, are sold to visitors.
At short distance from the house is the
old vault, where the remains of Washington
and his wife were first buried. Later a
large and more ornamental, but still very
plain vault was built further down towards
the landing, through the grated doors of
which are seen the marble collins of George
ashington and Martha Washington, the
former bearing the arms Of the United
States. Outside of the tomb are erected
monuments to the memory OF four of the
nearest relatives of Washington, who, how
ever, do not lie buried here.
The company has scattered all over the
place, but at o'clock the whistle from the
boat gathers them together again, and soon
we are on the way back to the National
Capital. w.

Chicago Inter Ocean.

The Chicago Inter Ocean changed Its
form from folio to quarto s. week or so ago,
improving the appearance of the paper very
much to our mind. Not only in typo
graphical appearance is the Inter Ocean
bettered but we think in all other respects
giving a greater amount of reading than
before. and keeping its readers thoroughly
posted on the current topics of the day,
while its editorials are able and outspoken,
The Republicans may we'll feel proud of
their leading western organ.

Our German fellow citizens held an old
settlers meeting, at the Union House, in
this llage, on Monday, the 23d inst,
which vas largely attended. At P. N.
the guests sat down to a superb dinner,
to which they did ample justice after
which they were addressed in the German
language by S. n. Weiner Esq, and in
English by D: Clark, Esq. The dinner over
the company discussed in groups, interest
Ing events connected With their settlement
in the land Of their adoption. Thus the
hours passed swiftly away, until evening,
when all adjourned to the Union House
dining hall, where in the mazes of the
dance, their early trials were forgotten, and
not until the 1--WE sm~' hours did they
bid adieu to mine host Schmidt, whose face
was never known 10 be 50 round and merry.
The party ~ the Badger State House last
Friday evening was decidedly the most
pleasant affair of the kind that has occurred
in this village for years. The company was
large and select. The music was excellent
and the supper-uell, commend Us always

Last Thursday evening the Methodist
Church bell was rung fer nearly an hour
by some careless person, to the great annoy

THE MOTHERS LAMENT.
What shall 90 With my empty hands
Now my babies have gone away?
What shall do when the evening comes,
The tender close of the day,
When used to sing at the cradle side
Lulabies soft and sweet,
Or fondled the little golden head,
Or kissed the baby feet
Oh! never again to feel her cheek
Against my own cheek pressed.
Never to lie el his baby mouth,
Again at my loving breast.
Never the little ripping laugh,
From their baby lips again.
| did not know one heart could hold,
Such bitter, bitter pain.
Nothing is left but an empty cot
And ring of sunny hair,
And little dress, and the dainty shoes
That my darlings used to wear.
! Only these and an aching heart,
An empty home and hand;
A hooking silence everywhere.
Oh mothers, you understand.
| Out there under the quiet stars,
And under a coffin lid,
Covered over with drifting SHOWS,
The sweetness of life is hid:
They are little mounds, | know, and yet
They're the only ones see
/ Small as you are, OIL little graves
| You darken the world to me.

Our Victory in the o. S. Supreme Court
Hon. Daniel Hall received dis patch last
Monday, from H. c. McKenny, Assistant
Clerk of the U. S. Supreme Court at Wash
ington, stating that the case Of Rees against
the City OF Watertown had been on6rmed
with costs. This case was appealed by
Rees from the lower court to the United
States Supreme Court, a nd settles the ques-
ton whether the United States Marshal can
be empowered to co me here and levy tax
to satisfy the demands Of the bondholders,
the..court deciding that the Marshal could be-
given no such power. This virtually de-
cdes in our favor the other case still await.
ing decision, in regard to whether the pri-
v.te proper ty of our citizens can be taken
to pay municipal debts. On the whole this
ia one of the most important victories yet
won by the city, and must SHOW to the bond
holders the folly of being too exacting with
our people in demanding a settlement.
Meanwhile our citizens must rot settle down
into letharglc condition, and feel that
there is nothing more necessary to be done
to get US out Of the difficulties we are placed
in. We must be prepared to meet any fair
and reasonable demand ::of our cIedi:or', or
all these decisions will amount to no more
than so much waste paper. The question
of settling with our creditors has, therefore,
yet to be met, and the sooner the bond
holders and oar citizens come together en-.
plan of action the better for both par ties.
1t must be very evident by this time to
everybody that We eau stand out as long a.
those who insist on taking aothing from US
short of the ound of flesh.

Tides and Tendencies.

We are in receipt of copy of the work
hich bears the above title, the contents of
which embrace the collected and cond nsed
ideas of Rev. J. l.. Dudley, Pastor of Ply
mouth Church, Milwaukee, and published
by Claxton, Remsen & Hafle6nger of Phil
alelphia. Those who are interested IN the
thought Of this clergyman will be glad of
on opportunity to purchase the book pre-
pared with the authors sanction aud under
his own supervision. 1t is to be for sale
in Watertown by T. S. Clark.
Before leaving the subject it may not b
amiss to add a word concerning the general
purport of the book. Its most earnest idea
seems to be plea for ruth-all truth,
whether it be found among Christian, Pa
gan, Jew or Gentle. Its doctrines are up
right manhood, pure Ii wing honest dealing :,
and it recognizes everywhere the divinity
Of right, justice, nobility. 1t Pleads not
so much for forms and ceremonies and be-
llefs, as for genuine endeavor, heartfelt
sincerity. There is teaching in it for the
worldly, hints for the christian, and help,
we believe, for the young. Battling theo-
logical mysteries that so blind and perpex
youth in It's earnestness after truth, are
here made of little account, the motto and
direction given to all questioners md seek
ers is "Do right, live uprightIy and we
shall be saved" We are we'll aware that
there are many who do not entirely sub
cribe to the advanced ideas of the author
but nobody can read the book without in.
