"Fay,o In a recent letter, Ia drcadfully shock
ed that thrt ugh the Ignorance OF this or som
other white house Official, on mrs
Gsrnold,s frat Saturday reception
LADY Thornton and her distinguished
] friends, Lord and Lady Campbell, wor'
forced 10 "battle for one hour with thu
promiscuous crowd" instead of being shown
In at the private entrance reserved for "higf
officials" Dreadful! l suppose being
| compelled at all times TO sec people you
don't know nor care for, is one OF tne
penalties q presidents wife has to pay FOL
her position. Every American citizen and
his family think It their duty to look in on
the presidents family and see If they're all
right, and the presidents family is to fee
| itself honored BY this evidence of care and
interest in its welfare No matter whether
we voted for him or not after he is elected
he is our highest public servant, and We
want To look in on him from time ia
time. =,
| In one of my letters not published gave
a little sketch of the zero motor. 1t is
we'll worth my readers attention-the motor
not the sketch perhaps-as a revolutl on
in locomotion. Water is the fuel
US ed, and the engine room of ship propelled
| bv the zero motor will ba as cool and clean
as the ladies' cabin. The loss by friction is
also very much less than by the present mo-
| tive power, and explosions almo t impossi-
BILE. Mr.. Gamgee is the inventor and is now
working an engine at the navy yard with
every prospect of complete success.
The national board of science met this
week; their meetings are always full OF intor-
est to me. suppose they will be held in the
chanel AZ the Smithsonian, which is now
emptied of the stores of curiosities, which
have filed it so long, to the exclusion OF Its
legitimate use.
Monday the Farragut statue is to be I'M
yelled. VOORHEES, is the orator of the day.
There will be a fine grafton. The invitation
cards are engraved at the Engineer Print
ing bureau, and are = line
specimens of that art as have ever seen.
The head of Farragut, which adorns the
right hand corner, is a masterpiece. :.
:" Revenge is sweet especially to women
saws Byron, and Mrs. Kendric, formerly the
divorced wife of Arthur B. Wood, United
States consul to Belfast, lately confirmed in
his Office, is proving the truth of the poets
words. She says Mr.. Wood is not tit to
represent civilized government, and she
threatens to republish all the evidence in her
divorce trial, and good deal more besides,
if the secretary of state don't recall MN: oLe
means to have him asked to resign If she
can, and to "make it pleasant for him. II
she can't. So fancy Mr.. Wood is having
rather an exciting time 70 come away MS pos
sbilities.
Like the Beecher trial, the senatorial cir
Gus is furnishing the world with come good
expressions. Among them is "the Bantam
crusade to secure the south from her
solidity," which appears in to-
days Post, but first in the New York Times
see tina. a relation of C neral Grant is
going to start a radical paper in Dallas. Its
very easy to start paper anywhere l sup.
pose, the difficulty seems to be to keep it going
I'm sure | wish it all the success such paper
desei YES in Texas. -.
The newest style of tonnet is about as big
as wash tub, and shaped something IKE a
policeman's cap. The crown is ten inche, in
diameter. What next? Dear readers, II IS
not my fault that you have not read letter
every week since my return from Texas.
Ask the editor. Yours,
A. III, MoHL.
