The Healthy white House.
Washington Letter.

Goodness knows the White House is
gloomy enough, and SO situated that
malaria and typhoid might hold high
carnival there without going much out
Of their element; and the wonder is
the victims of one or the other. The
river has had way Of washing up its
refuse in the rear of the mansion, and
leaving several acres of the most APP
proved bog and mire to spread their
miasmatic vapors broadcast. but under
the Babcock regime the waste was
drained and filled in, and two miniature
lakes and a beautiful drive now occupy
the once despised ground. Still there
are the malarious vapors from the river,
which annually put the denizens Of that
region through course Of ehills and
fever.
