The Soldiers Home.

The Soldiers Home, where the Pres
ident and his family are spending the
hot spell, owes its existence to Lieut.
Gen. Winfield Scott, whose statue graces
the grounds, as if presiding over his
good work. When he captured the
City of Mexico he followed the modern
custom and gave the citizens the choice
of paying 100000 into his military
chest and receiving protection, or hav-
ing the conquerors turned loose to sack
and raise mischief generally. There
were no sanitary commissions or state
agents in those days, and the funds in
the military chest were used to procure
comforts for sick, wounded and dis
charged soldiers, so that when the war
was at an end, only about 100000 re-
manned. Gen. Scott was very anxious
that the soldiers should have the benefit
of this, and by personal appeals to Con-
gressmen he obtained the passage of an
act in March, 1851, establishing ''the
Soldiers Home" 1t is under the direc-

board. In the rendition of military
compositions the effect is terribly strik
ing and lifelike-especially where the
tramp of soldiers is initiated. The ris
ing young artist, it seems, is extremely
solicitous that her peculiar modus ope-
randi cum pedibus shall not be made
public, and it was only upon pledges of
the strictest secrecy with regard to the
name that the local editor was allowed
to witness the display already mention
ed. If the fair artistic were in. a less
prominent position socially, the public
might have an opportunity of seeing
the greatest curiosity of the world. Of
course the length, breadth and thick

common there that they are not noticed.

love my love in Spring time
For beauty fresh as May,
For cheeks like early roses,
For eyes as bright as day;
For breath like balm of lilies,
For smiles like sunrise clear;
1 love my love in Spring time,
And love her all the year.
love my love in Summer,
For promise warm and true,
For truth like monday throwing
A light on old and new,
For wealth of bloom and freshness,
Which glows when L am near;
love my love in Summer
And love her all the year.
love my love in Autumn.
For fruit of gentle deeds,
For wisdom to be garnered
To serve our future needs;
For virtues ripening ever
Like harvests full in ear;
Ilove my love in Autumn,
And love her all the year.
1 love my love iu Winter
For charities untold
For warmth of household welcome,
For looks that thaw the cold;
For harmless mirth and pastime,
And richest Christmas cheer
Hove my love in Winter,
And love her all the year.

The anti-Chinese movement on the
Pacific coast puts on the appearance of
tempest in a teapot in view of the as
surance of the six companies in San
Francisco, addressed to President
Hayes, that the total number of Mon
golians in the country does not exceed
5000, and that it is steadily decreas-
ing. The present population of Cali
fornia alone must be more than 600, 900.
There is no great danger of the Cau-
cassian race being swarmed out there.

H The late Professor Henry was
once sitting on the wharf at ROuse's
Point, dreamily watching Lake Cham
plain steamer, when he happened to
notice peculiar sparkle of the waves
near the side of the steamer. His acute
scientific sense was at once on the alert
for an Investigation. AS he was watch
ing the flashes of light, first upon one
side of the steamer and then upon the
other, Customs Inspector approached
and asked: Looking at them flashes 2"

what they are ?" "Oh, them's hot ashes

The Professor was nonplussed for mo-
ment; then saying quietly, "Well, well,

lapsed into silence.

Germany Will Never Join Hands With
Russia.

London, March 27.-The Berlin
Post, which prints nothing political
without a purpose, and which is one
of Prince Bismarck's organs, says:
''The failure of congress would proba-
bly, result in Russia and England re-
naming at peace, but arming for war.
These prolonged armaments England
can infinitely better afford than Russia,
who would be reduced to exhaustion
were she obliged to maintain her ar
mics on a war footing for some years,
as Russia cannot attack England, while
England is perfectly in position to bide
her time. The Car will probably be
driven to extend his conquests in the
interval, the better to he prepared for
the collision when it does occur. But
in such case Austria and Greece would
join England to protect other foreign
interests. As to Germany, she will
never fight for Russia, or any other for
eign interests. Russia had therefore
better restrain her ambition

Railroad Sinking Fund.

Washington, March 26. - Senator
Sargent in colloquy which occurred
during Merrimon'ss speech yesterday, in
dicated his position on the Pacific rail-
road sinking fund question. He re-
marked that he felt an interest In this
matter on account of the danger of an
overtax Of the western and Pacific
states, by the excessive burdens to which
the Judiciary committees bill en-
deavors to play upon the railroads, and
Furthermore, the danger that by over
charging them, there may result de-
terioration of the condition and efiicien-
cy of the roads. He will favor the
adoption of the sinking fund plan re-
ported from the Senate committee on
railroads. The present indications are
that considerable majority of the Sem
ate will vote to substitute this PROPOSE
ton for the Judiciary committees bill.

Zealandria, March 27.-Business in

MEXICO.


City Of Mexico, March 20.-The
press ere severely attack Foster, U. S.
minister. The Spanish journals began
the attack and the Mexican newspapers
follow. They declare that Foster is
an obstacle in the way of settling the
difficulties between Mexico and the
United States, and charge that he is
actuated by personal motives. The La
Libertab, n semi-official sheet, asserts
that when the Washington Government
has recognized President Diaz, the lat
ter will demand that Foster be recall
ed. The Two Republics, which always
supports the Mexican government, de-
fends the American minister and ex-
press disgust at the attacks made upon
him. The French are doing every
thing to throw the Mexican govern
ment into hostile attitude towards the
United states. They fear CONNER

SINKING FUND BILL.
The Railroad Committees Re
port on the same, Sharply
Discussed
BY Ben. Hill, A. @. Thurman and Jim
Beck.


Washington, March 25.-Hill said
the bill reported by the Railroad
committee of the Senate proposed
to establish sinking fund, by
the consent of the companies, while
that of the Judiciary committee pro-
posed to establish sinking fund at the
will of the creditors. Such an exercise
of power on the part of Congress was
not only unauthorized by the constitu-
tion, but would be actually subversive
of the great purposes for which the
government was instituted.
Beck said the Government would not
get its money unless some means should
be taken to compel roads to pay. Hill
said Congress could not protect the
rights of the Government by denying to
stockholders a single right they were
entitled to. He thought this was the
most remarkable bill ever introduced
i'll legislative body, and he had no
doubt the Supreme Court would con-
firm his views should it be passed. 1t

patch says: 1.-The Powers have declined
suggestion made by Russia that con-

Gortsahokoff is endeavoring to bring
about meeting of three Emperors and
three Chancellors. Russia is under
stood to have indicated her willingness
to make further concessions to Austria,

growing apprehensions of differences
with England. Germany has, under
the circumstances, abandoned for the
