5Ir. f. \. Rhodes, son of Jefferson
Rhodes. of Somerset township, who
has been a student of Medicine in
DR.. Kimmcl's Office for the past two
years, stopped over here several
davs of last week on his way to
Baltimore, where he will attend lee
lures this winter in the College of
Physicians and Surgeons.
Senator Don Cameron, before
leaving Washington, Thursday, made
IA personal inspection Of his palatial
residence on Scott circle, now in
course Of erection. II is his desire
to furnish and move into il by the
time Congress convenes failing in
that, himself and family viii take
apartments for the season at Worm
ley's hotel. The possibility that the
.Camerons viii not keep an establish
ment here next winter will be dis
appointment to society people, who
looked forward to a series ofbrilliant
entertainments such as conducted
by them when they occupied ex-Goy.
Shepherds handsome residence.
Senator Cameron's new house, when
finished will be one of the most ele- /
CANT in the city. 1t is being con-
structed especially for entertaining.
The mansion stands diagonally, so
that the radical line of the circle
passes through the hallway in the |
centre of the building, making a very
pretty effect perspectively. 1t is
built of pressed brick three stories
high, besides basement and attic with
four bay windows running the entire
height of the superstructure. On
the main floor the Senator will have
an Office. The cost of this handsome
structure will approximate when
completed" $4,000.
Senator Cameron speaks conf /
IDENTIFY Of the political situation in
Pennsylvania and is sanguine of the
election ofGarfeId to the Presidency.
Army officers are making consid- /
cradle sport of General Hancock's
telegram to Eugene Casserly of San
Francisco, wherein the general speaks !
of his early identification with Cali /
fornia and his understanding of its
interest. His army friends say that
this Identification consists in having
been on duty in California as Second /
Lieutenant about the time of the /
Mexican war.
The Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee are Stacking
up the work of sending out cam (
paign documents. They have been /
caught by postmaster Anger, trying 1
10 swindle the Government out of /
thepostage due on their transmission. /
Several tons of so-called public /
docs" it IS said, have been sent back /
to the committee rooms as being
unfrankable. How many tons got I
through the post office before the
fraud was detected it is hard to tell.
Hancock's letter about Southern
war claims Is producing among the
unterrified Democracy lust about
what | expected when | first read it.
Whileapparently considered agrand
move for Northern votes, it is not
relished to the extent that some of the
Democratic papers would have the
public believe Everybody recol-
lects the effect Of Tilden's letter on :
the same subject, and also recollects
that it did more to create suspicion
Of him in the South than anything
else. Hancock's letter Will produce
about the same impression. Even
now it Is quietly intimated that
there was no call for it, and not n
few Of the Southern "Hotspurs' in
this city say that the letter shows
an early disposition to snub the
South, and that the General had
better turn over his political CORE
spondence to a friend who has a bet
ter appreciation of the blunders it is
likely to lead to, lest he gets tangled
up as badly Gen. Scott did with
his letter written over hasty plate
Of soup. PICKET
