WASHINGTON, Oct. 81, 1881.
The indications are abundant and to
be seen on every hand, that Washington
the Federal Capital-is to become the
winter residence and resort of the wealth,
the culture and the pleasure seeking
thousands off this great and rapidly grow
ing nation of fifty millions of people.
The large number of fine dwellings that
have been erected in our city during the
past two years, the equally large number
in process Of erection-and which are
confined to no locality, but employed as
one might fancy to decorate every eligi-
BILE site-the growth and extension of our
public parks the comprehensive plan of
river front improvement sure to be in
augurated by the approaching Congress
are assurances. if any were needed, that
the future of Washington is determined

the contrary gladly admitted by all, and

brought within its confines by interest or
curiosity, are few, and only few, of
the attractions which Impress the casual
visitors, even if lightly est emed or half
forgotten by the permanent dwellers.

Rutherford b. Hayes was never elect
ed President OF the United States, but
he held the Office for four years, enjoy
ing its salary and enlOluments, most Of
which be quietly saved and added to the
snug little fortune Le possessed before
the meS whose creature he was stole the
Presidency and installed him in Office
He was real niea, moral man who
would scom TO do wrong. But if Mr.
Tyner OF the Post Office Department is
to be believed, Hayes had his attention
called to the Star route robbery. He
shrugged his shoulders and let tue Il eits
go on, cautioniug Liza leutenants 10 le-
main silent on the subject, or it might
injnre the Republican party. According
to Fyner, Hayes is responsible for these
Notorious robberits, One command from
Kim would have stopped them. Tyner
may tell the truth or h. may lie So far
there is no evidence on the subject but
1yner's. Bni il looks as il the man who
would accept the Presidency knowing it
TO be stolen, would he jest tie kind OF 4
man to protect public plard. rers.

-Ex-Gov Morgan, of New York, was
nominated by President Author for Sec
retary Of the Treasury, and declined.
OF course the admiring journalistic ad-
vocatos of Author say that misunder-
standing was at the bottom of it, and
they express regret that the Government
is not to have the benefits of Mr.. Nor
gan's great experience and wise councils.
This il all very fine. But we did not ex.
peot, nor do We believe any reasonable
man thought that Gov. Morgan would
accept n position iD the Presidents Cab
iuet. Mr.. Morgan has reached an age
aud won reputation which he cannot
afford to compromise by associating with
men whom he cannot trust first, last and
all the time.

From Hon. E. q. wADHAMs, Ex.State Sem

have been acquainted with Wyoming
Seminary since its first organization, and
noted its progress with interest. Its sphere
of usefulness has been constantly increasing,
and at no time in its past history has it been
in 80 favorable a condition for doing excel
lent work in preparing young men for col
lege, and Tor business and professional pur-
suits. Under the management of highly
educated gentleman, OF popular adaptation,
aided by an able faculty, each department
OF the school fully sustains the reputation of
the seminary for thoroughness of scholar
ship and discipline.
The Commercial Department is a great
accession 10 the seminary. Personally su-
perviscd by an expert accountant, highly
vcrsed in commercial law aud usuage, It is
doing excellent service in fitting young men
for business.
The Wyoming Seminary is dcservedly
popular, and fully merits the large patron
age bestowed upon it by discriminating
public. L. c. WADHAMS.

An Old Friend.

One of the brightest lights Of the Gal
weston bar was standing at corner of
Galveston avenue, surrounded by u
group of admiring friends, when man
with peculiar stride and close cropped
hair walked up to the lawyer, and taking
one of his hands in both of his shook it
as if he was going to wrench it from his
body, saying:
Its ten years since | saw you, but
knew you as soon rs laid my eyes on
you"
The lawyer was embarrassed, but the
rough looking stranger helped him out.
"You did me kindness once, jedge,
and eff L ever forgit it, may my right
hand cleave to the roof Of my mouth.
Don't you remember when you practiced
law ten years ago, up in Dawson county?
You did me q kindness l never shall
forgit."
The friends of the lawyer cast admiring
glances Mt him, and one Of them said to
the other that he, the lawyer, always had
good heart,
'Yes," continued the stranger, still
holding on to the lawyers hand. II had
shot man in self-deiense, and the
sheriff was going to lock me up, when
you nobly volunteered to go my bond
And you did not know me either
The lawyer said he thought he recol-
lected the circumstance, while the ad-
miring friends said: Just like him"
"You offered to go on my bond, but
the sheriff said he'd be dashed if any
little jack-legged shyster could shove a
straw bond on him, and if you remem-
Der, Judge, he refused to approve the
bond, and was locked up, but 1 was
always grateful to you Just the same.
You tried to help me swindle justice ac-
cording to law. l broke Jail that night
and crippled several people in getting
away"
where have you been since?' asked
the lawyer, seeking to change the con-
versation.
II am just out of the Kansas peniten-
tiary. never would have got in thar if
youjhad been about. A feller refused to
drink with me and had to shoot him.
Let's step across and have something,
and running his arm through that of his
legal friend, they marched across the
street, ledge" keeping step like a sol
dier, while the friends on the sidewalk
snapped opinions about what bad eye
the man had Galveston News.

After tolerably exhaustive examina-
ton of the photography of the subject,
DIR. Otto Kuntze maintains, but on
ground not quite satisfactory, that the
Gulf weed consists Of mere fragments of
many varieties or species of SagaSSum
Uuigre, and that the plants so named in
the lump are either dying or dead and
incapable of reproduction. There does
not appear to be any good reason for as-
signing definite and constant area to
the Sars sasso Sea. Patches of weed occur
more frequently in the region of calms,
but sometimes there is very little of the
weed there. Winds also affect the dis
tribution OF the patches with regard to
each other and the position of the whole
mass of weed.
