OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Special Correspondence to The Republican.
WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Feb. 8, 1881.
The arrangements for the inaugu-
ration of President elect Garfield
have been SO far perfected that a good
idea can be formed of what will take
place on the fourth of March next.
That General Garfield's administra-
ton will be ushered in by ceremonies
more imposing than witnessed at the
Inauguration of any other President
is beyond question.
Every day messages are received
from militia and civic organization s
in different parts of the country, an
nouncing their. intention of taking
part in the inaugural parade. When
the procession returns from the Cap.
itol after the inaugural ceremonies
are over it will be reviewed by Pres.
ident Garfield, for whose accsmmo.
dation a grand stand will he erected
on the North side Of Pennsylvania
Avenue, just opposite the Executive
Mansion.
The arrangements for the ball are
nearly completed, and the indications
are that it will be of character full
ly in keeping with the imposing
ceremonies of the day.
Pennsylvania alone will send 5000
of her militia men. The whole NUNS
Der of soldiers is calculated at 40,000.
The counting of the electoral NOt )
takes place to. morrow. In conform
ity with the current resolution " hich
passed beth Houses last week, the
count wilttake place in the hall of the
House of Representatives, the votes
will be opened and announced by the
President of the Senate, counted by
two tellers appointed from each
House who will hand the result to
the President of the Senate, who
then will declare the state of the
vote. the persons elected President
and Vice President of the United
States. The ceremoney of to morrow
will lack the intrest which attached
to that of four years ago.
The latest Cabinet gossip is that
New York is, after all, to have the
Treasury Department in General
Garfield's Cabinet that Senator
Kirkwood of Iowa, is to be Secretary
of the Interior, and Pennsylvania is
/ to haye the Post Office Department.

Women a. Capitalists.

Of the $346, 1853 of and ~ per
cent. national bonds held in this country
by individuals, women hold $72, 81, $50.
This by no means shows tire interest of
the women in these bonds, for especial
ly in the eastern and middle states,
women own bank stock, or are deposit
tors in savings banks, to very great
extent If to this we add the fact that
women in these days own real estate in
their own names, and at their, prac-
tically speaking, absolute disposal, we
shall see that tho women of this country
have large interest in it. And this is
a conservative factor in our history.
Whatever may be said as to the matter
of universal suffrage for women, there is
no question that those who have proper
ty will seek to know something of the
reason for its taxation, the mode in
which the money is spent, and more OF
less of the fundamental principles and
duties of government. Nor is there any
more doubt that the intent of this class
would be to obtain or maintain ar honest
an able and economical government.
The changes in our laws which have
given the women SO much right in and
liberty of disposition of her own, have
been more equitable to her than they
have been valuable in steadying the
General judgment.

Curiosities Of New Mexico.
Santa Fe New Mexico.


Some very interesting curiosities are
to be seen in the jewelry store of Albert
Call, on San Francisco street, one of
which is perfectly round sandstone,
weighing perhaps $50 pounds, found in
the Gallsteo district. 1t is supposed to
be water formation, and is smooth
and evenly shaped resembling an i'm
mense cannon ball. Another article of
interest is a splendid specimen of ala
baster, found about eighty miles from
Santa Fe; but the most peculiar of all
the curiosities is large piece of white
stone, said to have been broken from a
continuous lining of kind of natural
tunnel or culvert within thirty miles of
this city. The stone is perfectly smooth
on one side, as if worn so by water, is
rough on the other, and is about three
or four inches thick. The man who
brought it in says the tunnel from which
it was taken is about six feet in dame
ter, is perfectly round, and is coated
with this stone lining ON all sides, form
ing kind of stone pipe. The discov-
erer went into the tunnel only about
twenty yards, but says he walked on top
of it for miles, being guided by the hol
low sound made by striking above the
culvert. 1t is thought that the culvert
is about thirty miles in length, and that
it was formed by stream of water,
which gradually became coated, as
above described, by this water forma-
ton. There is also on exhibition pet
rifed cactus, about eight inches through
one Way and five the other. 1t is as
perfect as when in its original condition.

staircases with balustrades. The main
platform IS seventy two feet square at
the base and ninety eight feet from the
ground. Shields of polished granite bear
ing the names of the states enclrcle the
square. 1t is fitting tribute to the mar
tyrcd president.
ANDREW JOHNSON.
The grave of Andrew Johnson is at
Greenville, Tenn, on spot selected by
himself. A fine granite arch upon a
broad base marks the SITE 1t contains the
inscription: "Andrew Johnson, seven
teenth president U. S. A. Born Deem
Der %, 1905 Died July 81, 1875. His
faith in the people never wavered." The
monument is of marble upon base of
granite 91ax7 feet. The tomb was erect
ed by the presidents three surviving
sons Pilasters on either side of the
pllnth support funereal urns. The scroll
of the constitution is carved on the die,
and also an open bible upon which rests
a hand The shaft is festooned by the
American flag at the top, and surmounted
by an eagle with outstretched wings.

immediate prospect of the ceremony
coming to an end, he reached for his
hat, in order to leave, but was stopped
by an unseen hand, which grasped from
behind. Thinking some custodian of
the church wished him to remain till the
end of the service, he again waited: but
his patience becoming exhausted, he
again reached for his hat, and again he
was prevented from going in the same
manner. Convinced that the service
was some really important one, the
Englishman once more delayed his
departure; but at the expiration of
quarter of an hour he determined to 90
in spite of etiquette, so he repeated the
same maneuver in the direction of his
head-covering. A third time the same
hand detained him; but as he deter
minedly resisted its grasp, a voice be-
hind him exclaimed in English: 81 beg
your pardon, but that is my hat you are
taking Such was the fact; he had
been detained all this while because
each time he had reached in mistake
for the hat of another stranger placed
in close proximity to his own.

& Badly-Used Nose,

When the Societe Franchise rAmitic
ball was at its height on Tuesday even
ing last, says the New York Star, q
conspicuous figure on.the floor was very
small man, not over four feet tall, with
single eyeglass screwed into his left
eye, and with the end of his nose point
ing toward q shock of curly red hair,
parted accurately in the middle. He
was dressed from sandals to shoulders
like q Roman senator. As his togs flew
gracefully out at right angles to his fig
ure, he danced the racquet" with a
muscular six-footer, dressed, with the
of ten summers.
"Come, Antony, and young Octavius,
comet howled the little man when the
music ceased. Revenge yourselves
alone on Cassius, for CassiuS is aweary
of the world. Hated by"
s'Oh, let up,' growled man with a
preposterous nose and diamond stud
of several inches aperture, bringing his
hand down with bang on the Roman
senator's head.
''See here, sir, don't you hit me, sir;
ID nttle, SIT, DdI III game, SIT.
s.Ho! Look at the little toddler!
Come, stand aside here" said the nose,
and he gave the Roman senator con-
temptuous push.
A middle-aged man in the centre OF
the floor shouted some quick words OF
command to the leader of the orchestra;
a waltz came rolling down from the mu-
sic stand; in an instant the floor was &C.
cupied by dancers, and the unfortunate
Nose was pounced upon by devil and
shepherd, who afterward proved to be
two special policemen in disguise, and
was unceremoniously elected from the
building, leaving the Roman senator
feeling so triumphant that he executed
a most unsenatorial double shakedown,
and glided off with a pretty pink
domino.

The Eastern penitentiary, Philadel-
phia, contains an interesting prisoner
in the person of one George Woodward.
Woodward, when boy, was engaged
in cattle raising with his parents, in
Ohio, and early developed an uncon-
querable propensity for DEMONSTRATING.
This brought him many years ago to
where he is now, but at the expiration
of his sentence his friends set him ND.
in business, which ;he afterwards relin-
auished in favor of his favorite pursuit.
and again he returned to jail-for thir-
teen years. Although he has no hands,
only stumps, he is so clever workman
that he surpassed all the other convicts,
and when he had saved 5000 he sent for
lawyer, who contrived to get him
pardoned, and again he was started in
business. But he has been at it again
in his old line, though apparently un-
der legal advice. He stole a whole
drove from a Delaware county farmer,
and the low price at which he offered
the animals in Philadelphia led to his
detection.

coat, with livery buttons, cut somewhat
like mans hunting coat, and a buff
waistcoat with high church collar

with the upper portion of the dress that
I never thought of looking at the ex-
tremities; but fancy my eye once got
a glimpse, going up stairs of 8. pair of
red stockings and shoes with silver
buckles. During dinner four winsome
lassies, all similarly attired, waited on
me hand and foot, and certainly never
was a dinner more deity served"

About Diphtheria and Scarlet Fever.

The Methodist Record derives very
little comfort from the fact that not
withstanding the widespread preva-
lence of both diphtheria and scarlet
fever, the types of the disease are not
unusually severe at present. 1t con-
tends that this is by no means subject
for congratulation at the present time
in view of the reasonable possibility of
the increase of the diseases during the
next few months, and the probable in
crease of their malignancy. Very few
physicians have lost so per cent. of
their cases of diphtheria thus far. Even
2Oper cent. would be a very high figure.
Still, the prospect of the continuance
of this comparatively low ratio of NOR
tally is far from promising. At least, the
wise practitioner must be on his guard,
and do everything he can, not only to
treat promptly and efficiently, all cases
in hand, but prevent their increase.
Whatever can be done by the physi-
clan to narrow the chances of the
spread of the contagion, lessons the
chances of mortality, even in mild cpl
denies Concerning the spread of both
diphtheria and scarlet fever, there are
certain well established causes. Wheth-
er one can believe in either this or that
theory of infection is not essential.
The physician can always afford to be
on the safe side by giving his families
the benefit of the doubt. To this end
he should see to it not only that the
houses are properly ventilated, but that
the privies, water closets, drains and
cellars are in good condition. A per-
sonal inspection regarding these points
has so often been rewarded by tracing
the causes of disastrous mortality in
certain houses, that no special pleading
is needed for it. A knowledge of prin-
ciples of good plumbing and proper
drainage is as essential to the physician
as is that of any other preventive Of
disease.-New York Tribune.

Antony's Grafton over Caesar.
THE TEXT FROM WHICH SHAKESPEARE WROTE

Friends, Romans, countrymeni lend me you,
ears;
will return them next Saturday. como
To bury Caesar, because the times are hard,
And his folks can't afford to hire en- under
taker.
The evil that men do lives after them,
In the shape of progeny who reap tho
Benefit of their Reinsurance;
So let it be with the deceased.
Brutus hath told you @sar was ambitious:
What does Brutus know about it?
1t is none of his funeral. Would that it wore
Here, under leave of you, come to
Make speech at Caesars funeral
He was my friend faithful and tuscto me;
He loaned me IS oncewhen was in pinch
And signed my petition for post office:
But Brutus said he was ambitious.
Brutus should wine of his chin.
Cesar hath brought many captives homo h
Rome,
Who broke rocks on the streets until thei,
ransoms
Did the general Golfers fill.
When that the poor hath cried, Caesar hath
wept,
Because it didn't cost anything, and
Made him solid with the masses. LCheers.l
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious
Brutus is liar, and can prove it.
You all did see that upon the Lupercal
thrice presented him with kingly crown
Which he did thrice refuse, because it did not
ft him quite.
Was this ambitious? Yet Brutus says he was
ambitious;
Brutus is not only the biggest liar in the
country,
But he is horsethief of the deepest dye
[Applause.]
If you have tears, prepare to shed them now
You ell know this ulster
remember the first time Caesar ever put it
on;
1t was summers evening in his tent,
And the thermometer registered 80 degrees in
the shade;
But it was an ulster to be proud of,
And cost him 81 at Marcaius Swartzmeyer's;
Old Swartz wanted $40 for it.
But finally came down to 81, because it was
Caesar!
Was this ambitious? If Brutus saysit was,
He is even greater liar than Munchausen.
Look! I'm this place ran Cassius' dagger
through;
Through this the son-of-a-gun of q Brutus
stabbed,
And, when he plucked his cursed steel away

I come not, friends, to stealaway your hearts;
am no thief, as Brutus is!
Brutus has monopoly in that business,
And, if he had his deserts, he would be
In the penitentiaIy, and don't you forget it!
Kind friends, sweet friends, I do not wish to
stir you up
To such sudden flood of mutny,
And 1t looks like rain.
The pail bearers will proceed to put the coffin
in the hearse,
Aud we will proceed to bury Cesar,
Not to praise him.
