| Mrs. Sarah Polk, widow Of the tenth
President James K Polk, resides in
beautiful home in the heart OF the city OF
| Nashville, Tenn. The grave where the re-
mains OF the eX-President respose is in the
| lawn attached to the house, and is visited
| from time to time by thousands OF tourists.
| The vault contains but one vacancy, which
| ia intended to be the burial-place OF the lady
in question. Mrs. Polk is charmingly
digniied woman, well advanced in years,
and distinguished for her klndliness and
beauty of character. The home she occu-
pies is beautifully located, and it was here
that the eX-President died six weeks after
his retirement from the White House, thir-
ty years ago.
II was General Joe Johnston, OF Virginia,
who made the motion that the House adj
iourn over Decoration-day. This was
doubtless a disappointment to some OF the
patriots who stayed at home during the war,
but those who, fought against Johnston, and
know what good soldier he was, will like it
all the more. Glove and tears for the blue;
tears and love for the gray."-Phitadetphia

together with the draw had set
tied materially and in soae places
more than others, thus throwing
the draw ont Of level and causing
it to strike on the connecting ends
that the pier would in all pro-
liability continue to settle and no
permanent structure could he
placed thereon. That the bridge
would be continually getting ont
Of order unless the pier was made
more solid. This was not only a
necessary bnt an extensive and
troublesome work. AMI constituted
the expense and difficulty in ma.
king the repairs. twenty new
piles were driven in the founda'
! ton making a row Of new piles
between each row Of old ones. =
These niles had to be spliced. be-
ing from IS to 40 feet long and
were driven about 80 feet in the

that the foundation will not mate
