WASHINGTON, Sept. 2,-The annual report of Mr.
Babccck, engineer of public buildings at Washing
ton. recommends the establishment of a Geological
Garden In this city at an expense of $4,000.
This Mr.. "Babcock is the General Bah
cock who escaped conviction for bribery by
st. Louis jury through the manipulations
OF President Grant in his behalf. and who
is now under indictment in the District of
Columbia for crime. He was Grants
private secretary until the latter proceed
ing took place, when he was forced to re-
tire from that position only by the refusal
OF respectable men in public Office to COM
munlcate or receive communications
through him, Still ne holds his rank In
the army and is the engineer of public
buildings at Washington. Such is an IL
lustration of the brazenness of Grantism.
And how nalvely this leech upon the sub,
stance of the people. burdened with
hundreds of millions of dollars of federal
debt aud oppressed by federal taxation,
suggests the placing a quarter of million
OF dollars in his hands TO be squandered
on menagerie for the edifcation and

PROF. HENRY SCHARF's READINGs.-At
the Augusta Female Institute, Oh last Thurs
day night. Prof. Henry Scharf, gave dra-
matte reading to the young ladies of the school
and few invited friends. His selections were
particularly adapted to the taste of the young
ladies, many of whom are themselves fine elo-
cutiouists, and capable of approaching the
rare talent possessed by Prof. Schari, as a
reader.
On Monday night he entered large and Sc
lcct audience at the Town Hall. The pro-
gramme was unusually attractive and afforded
wide field for the display IF his versatile
genius. Particularly was he happy while de-
picting the terror of poor Mrs. Hardcastle, in
,.She stoops to conquer" The scene in which
Tony -Lun pkins coneeals his mother from the
sight of imaginary cut-thrcats and highway
mes, was capitally rendered, aud warmly APP
plauded. Besides selections from ''Shc stoops
TO conaupr'' hc read 'sThe Drnnkard's Death,
,sSiiip ON Fire. ''Mark Twain, oil horse car
roctry,'' ..'rhe wonderful one iorse-shay,' and
by request reel ed .'Sl,amus O'Brien."
We are glad to sec these readings becoming
so popular and hope that Prof. Scharf will
gire the people MORE frequent opportunities Of
attending them.
