WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

The rigid and compulsory etiquette
OF Washington in regard to visits and
the return of calls make the life of the
ladies in the families of high officials
quite a laborious as that of their hus-
bands. The leaving of n card requires
n return call, and adds much TO the
activities Of cabinet, judicial and n
torial ladies who are compelled TO re-
spond to the pasteboard formularies Of
''the sisters, the cousins and the aunts''
of all who come. Out of this custom
has grown the insane desire of the
'fresher" people in Washington to fill
their scrap books with the gummed-in
cards of the very uppercrust of the
upper ten. A few days ago, says the
Washington Republican, 'the bright
eyed daughter of a new congressman
asked a well known engraver on the
venue if he could not get her n full
set Of the cards of the foreign ministers
for which she would pay literally. She
wanted to display them in her scrap
book as the Sioux brave does the scalps
in his girdle.n
The young ladies who visit at the
w hite house, or fall into the train of
Mrs. Hayes, are speedily made the tar

house conservatory, aud that the places
which have known them will he rele-
gated to their original purpose of pro-
pagating and a~eelimatIng plants. 1t
appears from a recent inYestigatlonthat
the Botanical garden which costs Sl5,-
600 year, and for which 500, O00haye
been appropriated, has no legal exist
ence at all. Congress never established
it or defined its functions. 1t has,
however, recognized it by lavish expen-
ditures. The whole thing grew out of
an appropriation made by congress,
away back in 1874, of $500, to provide
for the housing and carr of a number
of tropical plants brought back by the
exploring expedition of Commodore
Wilkes. These plants were placed in
charge of the library committee of con-
gress. The grip the committee then
got on the bouquet, nursery and seed
business thas never relaxed, and thus
it happens, says the Republican, that
to-day Daniel w. Voorhees, and George
w. Geddes are in the field as rivals of
the pensive and ~peripatetic distributors
of Flora's fragrant fayors in the city of
magnificent distances. Smith is the
gardener and engineer now and he
magniles his Office. He is convinced
of its absolute Importance and wants
money. He declares he shows no
fayoritism, but that daily there goes to
congress eleven bouquets, eight for re-
representatives. and three for the senator's;
the distribution being made in turn so
that all come in for a chance. Smith
puts a quietus on the malicious whisper
ings of those whothink they are sighted
and now Smith will his q~uietus take.

MIR. Dudley Warner ON American
Literature.

1t has come to me lately that Ameri-
can literature is at last becoming re-
spectacle and respected in the world.
1t is not very long ago since it vas n
mere imitation. 1t began as an imita-
ton of the English literature, but has
gone on, and learned to walk alone.
Some Of You who read English criticism
may still sec in its pages expression of
regret that the average Englishman
cannot understand the American dia-
lect. That is not so frequent rs it used
to be, and we have learned not to be
surprised at it. 1t is impossible for the
English to understand the conditions
which underlie our literature. English
travellers cannot understand New Eng
land civilization. When l read Beacons-
fields last novel | find / am unable to
comprehend a great portion of the Eng
lish dialect. l find these dialectic ex-
pressions in Mallock's works, and even
in tom Brown at Rugby"
So | am commended to hear English
men say they cannot understand us.
Hence we must 60 on independently,
doing the best we can. i am fond of
thinking of n great national literature.
| know that congress does not try very
hard TO protect it, although it works
hard for the button makers and steel
makers. But tho members haye never
thought that the government of this
country has in the last fifty years been
greatly influenced by literature. This
has been mainly English literature.
The English novels assume condition
of affairs totally different from our
owH-the monarchic condition. Hence
| do not wonder that there seems to be
n growing in6delity in the Declaration
of Independence. Therefore, 1 think it
would be better for us to read Ameri-
can literature. The south, for instance,
has lived in English books. They have
had nothing new on literature since
Addison. They have never had n
breath of.Boston or New York. Hence
the south is not favorable to republican
IDEAS That is a thing that congress
ought TO consider. 1t is well to have a
little care for that which goes TO make
the people rs rulers and as voters in
this country.

THE pope has addressed n pontiicial
letter TO the arch bishop OF Dublin for
immediate publication, in which, while
sympathizing with the Irish Catholics
and desiring improvement in their
condition, he exhorts them to do moth
ing contrary TO law, and declares that
she desires from the government lin the
justice and the political ability, of
which he expresses every confdencel if
she keeps within the strict limits of le-
gality. The pope urges the bishops to-
take measures in order that the Irish
people, at such critical periods, may
act in accordance with these exhor-
tatiOns.

CHAIRMAN BARNUM says that the
letter Of the New York Ii1ah To Gar

into publishing the Morey letter by
members of his committee, was en-
tirely false. No member of the com
mittee knew what the letter was until
it was published. We did hear that
the Truth had a letter, a trade letter,
and sent a member of the committee to
see about it, the editor refused TO show it
or even tell what it was, and the next
moring he published it. The first
my member of the committee
ever saw of it was when the letter ap-
peared in the Truth.

The indianapolis Journal says:
"Within the last few months n feeling
adverse to running express trains so
rapidly rs they are now run has sprung
up among the more prudent class of
railroad men, and to-day nine out Of
ten of the General Managers of this
country would favor legislation making
att Unable ~offense, with heavy penalty
attached, to move trains faster than
thirty miles an hour.
Indeed this is faster than trains should
bemoved in severe winter weather. Fast
trains were put on more to favor the
American people, who are DESTROYS of
rushing through the country at the rate
of forty to fifty niles per hour, rather
than Judgment of experienced railroad
men; and now that the important trunk
lines between the east and the west are
running fast trains, nearly every socalled
.jerk-water' road in the country is
copying them, Quite recently, in con-
versationon this subject, DIV. Caldwell,
General Manager of the Pittsburg,
Cincinnati and st. Louis road remarked
that the running time of the two trains
IN the main line was fully forty miles
IN hour, and that whenever he heard of
its arrival safely at either Pittsburg or
Indianapolis, n real sense of relief came
over him. lie farther remarked that
he often walked up in the night, and
among the first thoughts would be as
regards the safety of this train, and
only Sunday last the General Manager
of another Indianapolis remarked to
the railroad reporter of the Journal
that with the coming severe winter
weather came anxiety about trains,
especially for the fas. trains run owe,
their lines, as he remarked: Il wisl
the time would como when the TRAVELLING
public would not demand such rapit
transit If the officials have sucl
anxiety about these trains when MOVING
SO rapidly through the country, wha'
must be the feelings of the man on tn,
footboard and the conductors on tn,
trains, rs they run over the roads thes,
frosty nights with so much responsibility
resting on them that the passenger.
should be carried through safely and or
time.n
