An INQUIRY.
A Circle that is Not a:circle.

To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: desire, with your permission, most re.
spectfully to make the inquiry why It is that the
circle at the intersection Of New Jersey avenue
with and Second streets northwest Is suffered to
remain so long in Its present unfinished and un-
slightly condition? All the facts taken into con-
sideration in connection with this unfinished
"circlef' would 90 far TO show the most cruel In
difference toward the citizens and property. hold
ers in this vicinity by and on the part of those
who have the special charge Of the public i'm
proyements in this particular part Of the city.
a year and hall ago New Jersey avenue and
Second street, from II to X street. were torn up
and paved with wood, and the ''crcle" In question
was laid out and the curbing set, and during all
these long months 1t (the circle) has alternately
up with coal ashes and every variety Of Debris By
any and every stray cartman who chose to make
It o common dumping ground. Then it became
in turn lumber yard for street contractor TO
upon, and to this hour It lies here waste place
most unsghtly thing, an unquestiona6le null
sance-so that i am led TO ask II the property
holders and residents in this vicinity have no
claim to the esteem and consideration OF the CON-
missioners or engineers, or wherein the property
holders have go offended as thus to merit the IN
Fiction Of such q continued nuisance upon them? ?
for an unqualified nuisance II is and has been, and
80 remains, and Is deserving only, in its present
condition, Of the prompt condemnation OF the
Board of Health. 1t should be either completed
at once as designed or wholly removed.
Ifpublie improvements kept pace here with the
extensive private enterprises recently inaugu-
rated end now going on on all rides this would be
of the prettiest points in the city and why our
worthy Commissioners can rest and permit that
which might be thing Of beauty" to lie and be
an eyesore and an o1ense to the public. remains
as much an unexplained mystery as 1t Is to those
most interested an uncessing modification.
Yours truly, EXHAUSTED PATIENCE

AN ENeLIsHhAN AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
How He was Impressed by Quarter Of an
hours Visit

An English gentleman travelling In this country
paid brief visit to tho White House yesterday,
in company with q friend, and this is the way he
writes about IT.:
Accepting the invitation with interest and
pleasure, We made our way for the Treasury
building that would make any stranger pause
and hold his breath 10 q quiet ecstasy of admira'
tion. Entering We passed through TO Tine
House." If there was one thing more than
anotSer that struck me, a stranger to the ways
and habits Of the country, 1t was the absence Of
red tapeism, or anything approaching form and
ceremony around the doors OF the edif1ce. No
bullying beadies, great in cooked hats and inso.
lent uselessness; no display Of stiff and choEei
soldiery nothing IN short, TO awe the visitor and
make him uncomfortable at the very first onset.
Politely We were shown upstairs to the waiting
room, where groups of people were convers.ng
with en- case and freedom most refreshing 10 be-
hold.
Introduction to the Presidents secretaries fol-
lowed, and whilst my friend was ushered into the
presence of General Grant, l, waiting for him,
was again agreesbly impressed with the fact that
at last was in public Office where the lnstitu-
ticn of circumlocution was unknown. Here peo-
pie with grievances AID requests were politely,
grievances or the acceding TO sach requests was
practical bic or not at once. No dilly-dallying or
shirking, or ''call again tomorrow" or "I'ye no
my heart" no putting the blame on others
shoulders to escape eehsure oneself. II seemed
PeIieetly undersLood on both sides that when no
the matter. My friend coming back, we had
lcok at the drawing reom, and watched photo
gTspher making pictures OF the furniture, and
theB, after seeing everything there was TO see
we went hotelHard to dinner.
Il must have been very ordinary day at the
White House-a day of no consequence-not the
slightest scintillation of red letter to be dis
eerned in it at all, but i never was so strongly
impressed with the eminently selEgoyerning
character that Republic lends TO the Institutions
OF O. country, and more especially the firmly
established Republic of the States or of the pro-
tectlve meaning tho term President has, as was
at the end Of that quarter Of an hour IN the White

BEEsOS'6 CAPCIEE POROUS PLASTER.
At no time in the history Of true medicine has
an article appeared which has met with greater
approval and success than Benson's Capclne
Plaster. Why they are preferred to all other
porous plasters is owing to their improved CON-
position; they act instantaneously, cure speedily
ard effectually.
Physicians and the general public who acknowl-
edge the great benefits derived from the use Of
the ordinary porons plaster, however, maintain
that their action Is not sufficiently prompt, re-
curing time, patience and continuous wear to
effect o cure. BeDsop's Capcine Plaster over
comes this difficulty by accomplishing In o few
hours that which It takes any other plaster as
many days.
Although q recent discovery, Capcine has been
thoroughly tested by physicians, and In each In
stance has been pronounced the most remarkable,
safe, certain and thoroughly efhcacious remedy
incorporating Capclne In IN improved Porous
Plaster has been accomplished after repeated So
icltations from the medical fraternity, and Is
now prescribed by them with unprecedented sue

born colds, kidney complaints ard ell diseases
for which porous plaster has been used,
Its marvellous influence over the circulation
and general effect on the system Is almost incred-
ible; from the moment Of its application TO the
affected part IL operates with astonishing vigor--
brings relief ana cures more etectually than any
known plaster, nniment or compound.

was turned in from box No. 1885, at WTlIarIs

situated in the F-street end Of the building. and
the laundry is little Rbove the level Of the

nissing since October so from the canaI-boat

into the canal, but subsequently, fruitless search
for her body, the water having been drawn from
1he canal In the vicinity and the receipt of the
news from the Point of Rocks that she was at that
place. led to the belief that the suppositon Of her
death was incorrect. It is probable that she fell
