In the House OF Representatives, Oh the
10th, Mr.. Stevens, of Georgia, left his Dem
ocratic colleagues, and joining the Republi
can side, spoke strongly against putting po-
litical riders OH appropriation bills, declaring
it to be undemocratic and denounced the
new doctrine of making war upon the veto
power through the means Of appropriations
as anti.constitutional. This may be but the
initial skirmish OF the contest over the rev.
dictionary proceedings Of the last Congress,
which will no doubt break the seals from the
lips Of young aud ardent representatives,
aud upset the Democratic programme of
'tmum, ssmum.'

Mr.. L. Q. Washi ngton, one Of the best
informed men about the national capital,
and a close and accurate observer of public
events, thus writes to the Richmond Com
naonacealtA.
II had conversation this morning with a
member OF the National Committee. I
found that he favored Cincinnati as the
place Of holding the Convention, and the
middle to the 2lst OF June as the time. The
argument made for Cincinnati is, that
while no special influence can be exerted
upon the choice Of candidate, there is
something gained in doubtful State by
holding the Convention there. Ohio is to
be stoutly contested next fall This gen.
tleman thought Mr.. Tilden would get a
very large vote, and have great, if not a
controlling influence, in shaping the NOM
ination. His opinion was that Grant would
be the Republican nominee, and this is the
general opinion of the politicians l meet
whether Republicans Or Democrats

II to hold office compromises 4 mans
character or his influence as citizen, it is
singular that so many of the opposite party
are SO eager and anxious to place them in
such questionable position. It was esti-
mated that at least 5000 Democrats or Con-
servatives from Virginia swarmed about the
national capital, when the present Congress
was organized, freighted with lengthy Pc
tltions representing their partizan service,
and urging their claims for reward. For
the five supervisors places to take the GEN.
sus In Virginia, there were 200 applicants,
four-ffths Of whom were Democrats. Even
the Democratic Senate-a body presumed
to be far removed from the petty ambi-
tons Of small politicians-has demanded
that this Republican administration shall dis
tribute its favors equally between the par
ties, land has rejected the nominations of the
President for Supervisors of Ohio, not for
the reason that anything could be said
against their character, but solely because
they were Republicans. Re-adjusters flocked
to Richmond, armed with voluminous testi-
monials, propping up their demands for
recognition as workers in the cause, and
pleading for place and pelf. If ofice-hold-
ing be such questionable occupation, as
would be inferred from the fierce philippies
OF the Democratic and Re-adjuster organs
against Republicans, why do they seek to
force themselves into such association?
TO serve the government is no crime. 1t
works no forfeiture of the rights of citi- |
zenship. 1t compromises no mans charac- |
ter, nor destroys his usefulness to the State. |
1t imposes no disabilities, but leaves him as |
free as any other citizen to discuss public
questions, stand by his convictions, and do
what in him lies to promote what he may
believe to be the welfare of his State and
country. He would be base coward and
= traitor to the highest emotion of man
hood, did he surrender any of his privileges
or rights as citizen of his State or of the
United States, for the sake of Office, or hes.
itate to proclaim his sentiments and enforce
them by pen and tongue on all proper coca.

Economy IN Housekeeping,

4 practical housekeeper, who studies
economy as closely as a strict regard for
her family will allow, but whose Sc.
lections are always Of good quality,
gives the following figures from her own
experience in Washington Market: 81
get oysters of good quality for 60 cents
a hundred, freshly opened for me. For
beef, buy q round of bright color and
tender weighing 10 or l2pounds, which
may be always had for 10 cents a pound,
and which gives good steaks from the
best cut, and roast not 10 be desp.sed.
Fresh beef kidneys are 10 cents apiece,
and one furnishes a dish for three per
sons. The mutton stalls have small
lots of tenderloius, juicy, tender little
bits, full Of flavor, which, if their value
were appreciated, would rank as deli
cacies, but which can always be bought
for to 10 cents pound. Breasts OF
mutton which serve as eplgrammes or
for stuffed and baked dish, are to DO
had for 4 and cents n pound, and the
broad shoulder chops / can always find
freshly cut from 10 to l. cents pound.
Fresh cut pieces Of beef for boiling, not
scraps, but three.pound pieces, with
very little bone, are never above 8 cents.
| don't say these prices are to be found
at all the stands, but always find them
by looking for them, and never deal at
any stand that is not neat looking, and
the meats bright and well kept. In
Winter, | buy a weeks supply at q
time, and most meat improves by keep
ing up to certain point. As for veg
etables, the best potatoes are 80 cents a
peck. Carrots, beets and onions are
cheapest from the small venders, either
in Vessey street or from wagons. But
one must know the prices or the wagon
venders will begin by asking 81 70 a
bushel for potatoes, as one did the other
day, and ended by offering them, when
he found l knew what was buying, for
81 20. 1t is good plan to dust a little
plaster of Paris over potatoes to keep
them dry and prevent spelling. / buy
much from the small street vendors
about .market, if their stock Of fruit
or salad is fresh and attractive, first, be-
cause they can sell lettuce for five cents
head, hen inside dealers grandly offer
three for a quarter, and even if they
ask the same price, 1t is duty to en-
courage poor people in any business
which gives them an honest living and
keeps them out of beggarY."

Burning OF the Albany City Hall,

The handsome and costly marble
building known as the City Hall, which
faces the easterly front of the Capitol,
in Albany, New York, and contained
the city and county offices, and an i'm
mense quantity of public archives and
legal records, was destroyed by fire at an
early hour on the morning Of February
10. The whole interior OF the building,
from cellar to roof, was destroyed, with
the exception of some Of the fire proof
record vaults on the lower floor Many
of the court records were burned, and
others were greatly damaged. BY great
efforts the portraits of the Governors of
New York State, from the time of
George Clinton, l777, down to that of
John A. Dix, were rescued from the
flames, but most Of them were some
what injured by fire. The walls are
still in good condition.
The site Of the burned building WAS
purchased for City Hall in 1929, and
the edifice was completed and dedicated
in 1881, at a cost of $92,336 Since
then it has been from time to time EN-
bellished and improved, among the sim.
provements" being some peculiar ven
tilators, which fireman aptIy termed
"tire conductors" and which were put in
two years ago at a cost of 81, 800. The
fire is supposed to have been the work
of an incendiary. Harper's Weekly.

Not Tall Enough.

ander of Holland. The Prince, a young
man of rather staid and literary tastes,
paid visit to Berlin last Summer, and
a review was given i'll his honor by the
Imperial Court Military pagents form
an integral part of every grand process
sion in the Prussian capital; but Prince
Alexandra, with little inclination for
soldiery, sat in silent contemplation
while the troops were defling before
him. All at once the Crown Prince
drew tie guests attention to an Uhlan
regiment, with the remark that they
were ga fine body OF men," "Yes," re.
piled Prince Alexander, "but they are
not tall enough. This reply, delivered
with the original Dutch phlegm, little
surprised his interlocutor, who, he wever,
merely observed, "Very well, then you
must see my cuirassiers." The cuiras.
siers, erect in their saddles, like men-at.
arms of the Middle Ages, went by Iin
breastplates ndplumes. "Well, what
do you think of them q asked Prince
Fritz. splendid men, but not tall
enough Still more piqucd than aston.
shed at this unexpected response, the
heir to the crown of Germany ex-
claimed, "Indeed then wait till you
see the regiments Of the guard In due
time these magnificent six f0oter5 made
their appearance and the same query fell
from the lips Of the Crown Prince.
They are not tall enough, - very quietly
