the ladies who have presided over
the White House hangs there
Mrs Tyler-and and not more
than s or 8 of the Presidents. Mrs.
Tyler spent the winter just past in
the District. Her only daughter,
Pearl, who was Laby when her
father died, is to gradate from the
Convent Seminary in Georgeton
next. month. Mrs. Tyler is often
seen in the Visitors Gallery at the
Capital, She dresses in black, a.
tiny white ruche separating her
close fitting Grape bonnet from
her smooth black hair.
Quite an excitement was mani
fest last week among the 10000
school children of the District aud
their parents at the prospect of q
discontinuance of the schools for
the want of funds. But on the
very next day before they were'to
be closed, Congress passed a bill
appropriating $4,000, the amount
of the deficiency for the present
year. 1t would have been a sorry
Job indeed to have turned all of
those children loose in this city,
already thronged with street vaga-
bonds, most of whom are less than
a dozen years old. We have need
of more schools and 'school-houses
in the District. All the colored
schools are literally crowded, and
hundreds of colored children spend
their days in the streets who would
be in schools if there was room
for them.
To us outside the fold, the griev-
ances of which Congressman con-.
tir ually complain seem small. They
call themselves hard worked; pes
tered, bored and and beset. Said
Senator the other day. A Con-
greessman' fate is the same as
was pronounced upon one ancient
w: "A servant of servants shalt
thou be to thy brethren" Promi-
nent among the nuisances inflicted
upon the high and mighty are
the albums i'll which they are' re-
quested tn write their names. So
small a favor can scarcely be de-
MED, and autograph hunters know
IT. Sometimes members are asked
to write something more than their
signatures and occasionally this
request is acceded to in a some
what offensive manner, as when u
Western Representative in com
pliance with such request wrote
II am in favor of law banishing
to Alaska any one who bores peo-
pie by asking them to write in
an album" And David Crockett,
when Maine Representative
wife asked the same favor of him,
wrote "Mrs. -, of Maine,
requests the hunter from the
West to write his name in her al
bum. Her curiosity shall be graf
flied by a sentiment wishing her
health and happiness and safe
arrival at her residence with her
family and friends RICHARD.

AN OPINION IN WHICH WE COISCIDE.-
Eiseuhise, OF the Williamsburg Times thinks
that the author of Home, Sweet Home, ."

lines which assure among other things
that ''Be it ever so honely, there is no place
like hOme," had he lived to visit Phi;adel-
rhia ana put up at the St. Cloud Hotel, on
Arch street-an opinion which we have no
hesitation in pronOuucing entirely sound
aud sensible. Only few weeks ago we
had an opportunity to enjoy the hospitalities
of this well-known and exceedingly popular
house, and tell those of our City-gOinp
readers nothing new when we assure them
tha; we found enough to convince us that
Eisenbise's head is exceedingly level when
he says that every delicacy in the market
is to be found upou their table, and their
beds, place where man spends at least one
third of his time, are indeed places of rest"
NJ ore than that, we can indOrse the senti-
ment expressed by the same writer VIII en- he
says that "nO matter if the visitor be of
hlgh OF low degree, he receives the same
courteous care and attention." aud that too
we may add, a. price (Only 81 per day.
which, considering, the accommodations
are exceedingly low even in these wofui
hard times. But why multiply words about
the St. Cloud and its proprietors Messrs.
Geo. w. und Geo. X. Mullen, father and
son, who are so we'll and favorahly known
in Cambria county that we doubt whether
any one from this region would put up at
any other hotel in Philadelphia unless it
would be to take "pot-luck' in hopes of
saving few pennies in the operation.

THE PEOPLES CHEAP STORE, CARROLL
TOWN.-It is generally conceded, if we mis-
take not, that to Mr.. S. Teitelhaum, propri-
etor OF the Peoples Cheap Store" Carroll
town, is due the credit of having revolution
lied the prices of al! kinds of merchandise
in northern Cambria, and il is no more than
right that he should enjoy, as we believe he
merits, the immense patronage which his
hberality has secured for him Keppinp at
all times a full and complete stock of dry
goods, dress goods. notions. hats caps, boots
shoes. groceries, etc, he hides not his light
under bushel measure, but wisely avails
himself of the opportunity to advertise his
wares and his prices through the newspa-
pers, and his success in securing customers
follows rs matter of course. But that is
not all. Having by this means indnced peo-
pie 10 visit his store, nothing remains to he
done IN order to convince them that money
can be saved by dealing with him than to
show tEem his goods and tell them his pri-
ces- These being the Inducements he offers
TO The public, it would seem TO be a matter
OF self interest for people who have not vel
done so to give him a call and test his ahiIi-
ty and willingness to do what he promises.
