SATURDAY. Afternoon at Kendall Green,

To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: Weary with the labors OF the week, and
tired Of the noise and distractions Of the city,
turned my footsteps toward Kendall Green, think
ing that visit to the ''silent college" would be
most refreshing to one tired Of the din Of human
voices. Not to make my walk too long, I took
the New Iork-svenue cars to Seventh street
northeast. l was told that brick sidewalk had
been laid to the gate Of the college. II so part
Of II is sunk so far beneath the mud as to 'elude
the keenest eyesight. Mud, however, to one who
has lived in Washington more than two years is
no great obstacle, so peTsevered and reached
the gate In safety. Just here ] was startled by
the striking Of q clock, and looking up 70 the
time-piece filing the round holes that formerly
gave such an unfinished look to the tower. Pass
ing to the left Of the chapel, took look At the
length and breadth Of the cellar, already finished

imagine the president or one Of the professors
gesticulating q sermon but MY mind, not given to

is an escape from the cares and vexations Of city
life. Just then heard the noise Of carriage
