Lawyer Riddles New Novel.

From the Cleveland Herald
Hon. A. G. Riddles forthcoming novel, TO be
issued in few days, will undoubtedly create a
sensation, from the extremely free use it makes
Of real names and Well-knoWn people, If there
were no other cause. The novel, which bears the
title Of "Allce Brand; Romance Of the Capital, /"
deals wholly with Washington life, and the time
is during Andrew Johnson's administration. The
love story is interviewer with the course OF public
affairs, and the reader lie taken behind the
scenes and shown the intTigues, the scandals, the
rascalities that were to be found in Washington
political and social life by those who knew how
TO seek them out. Andy johnson Is shown up in
colOrs the reverse Of complimentary, and some OF
the most striking scenes IN the book are those in
which figure President johnson, Secretary Stan
ton, Secretary Seward, Chief Justice Chase,
Secret Service Baker, Mrs. Croly. the notorious
pardon broker, aud other well-known characters.
The return of MIR. johnson 10 Washington at
this time gives additional piquAncy to the chap
ters.devoted to him, though they were already
sufficiently piquant. The story is very dramatic,
and will most assuredly make q stir both in the
novel-reading world and in the world OF poll
ticiang.

several years from Bronchial trouble. Tried

On Saturday Mr.. Cragin introduced bill in
the Senate, which was referred to the Committee
on Appropriations, authorizing the architect Of
the Capitol 10 grade and lower the foundations
and rebuild the lower stories and easements Of
all buildings squares 72S, T29 and 49, fronting
on the east park Of the Capitol, between First
and Second streets east as to conform the grade
on said squares to the grade on South and First
streets. The bill also provides for the erection
for the accommodation OF the owners or occupants
OF buildings on said square, suitable steps and
fCot-walks, and that the sum OF $3.50 900, or so
much thereof as is necessary, be appropriated for
that purpose, to be expended under the direction
Of the Interior Department.
The clerks and employees Of the District govern
ment are allowed no holiday to-day.
The contractor for cleaning the alleys Of this
city and Georgetown has been notified by the
chief engineer that the allowance made for the
removal Of ashes is discontinued. This measure
has been found necessary under the general plan
of reducing the expenses Of the District govern
ment. HOusekeepers will be required hereafter
TO cart away their own ashes from the alleys.

The Aesthetic Taste Of washingtonians.

The Aesthetic Taste OF Westinghouse.
WASHINGTON, February 20, 1875,
To the Editor of the National Republican:
SIR think the article in to-dsy's REPUBLI-
CAN on "Art, Artists and Washington" under
the head of Saturday Monographs" conveys an
entirely wrong impression. Nearly all Of the
artists referred to had established their reputA-
tions beyond dispute previous to appearing be-
fore q " ashinRton audience. Mrs. SeVuln, will
admit, was not regarded elsewhere (nor is she
though quite likely she is the best the writer Of
the article in question ever heard. As to the
people Of Washington being more swift to dis
tinguish between genuine talent and mediocrity
than The Inhabitants of other cities. or that they
are better qualified by taste and education to ap-
pTecate art, think will not be readily admit
ted by those who have invested money on the
strength OF our love for esthetics. Q.

In Memoriam.

The announcement Of the death Of A. G. Bates,
late Of ashington city, has caused very great re-
greet among his own and the many friends of his
father, one OF our most worthy citizens. The de-
ceased had been, as the writer of this notice has
been advised, for some time residing In Heddo,
Japan, where he died January Is, 1875. He was
engaged in teaching in that city, and was in the
receipt Of handsome income, which he literally
bestowed on the members Of his family. He had
only reached his twentieth year when he died,
was unmarried and was regarded as young man
Of more than ordinary intellectual requirements.
He was afectiOnate to his parents and courteous
to his associates. He had secured the confidence
of the people at YeddO, and their loss will be as
severely felt in that city as ours will be in this:
He was the oldest son Of John e. Bates, esq, OF
this city. The death Of this young maa at point
go distant from his home, with no mother to con-
sole nor farther TO encourage in his expiring mo-
ments. makes the eventIpeculiaTly sad, and must
and will secure the sIneerest sympathy Of all who
may read this brief and inadequate tribute to hu-
man worth.

he was much surprised to find his trunk missing,
