Tho ohesrless MhItc mnuse

Washington Letter TO Philadelphia Times.
No wonder the president has grown rest
less under tho confinement Of the sick room
in the white house. The room itfelf is AS
bare aud gloomy almost ms barn. When
the carpet was taken up tho chamber was
completely denuded OF ornament, The lace
curtains were taken down, the pictures and
ell other articles OF verlu removed. When
the work Of stripping was done nothing re-
manned but bare floor, bare walls, q bamboo
cane seat setteo and few light bamboo
chairs the patients narrow bed and The doc
tors table. There was literally nothing
upon which n tired eyo and u mind worn
ont by introapeclion might rest. Any hos
pital ward is as choorlul-perhaps more
cheerlul-for the absence Of things from
their accustomed places is more con.
spicuous than il they had never
been. The room itself is 30 extraordinarily
large and the ceiling so high that the effect
Is naturally more depressing. However, the
presidents room does not elect his mind 80
much as tho idea that he is in an uHluCky and
sickly place, though II serves constantly to
remind him of it. From tn o hour no enter
cd the white house no has had nothing but u
round of official worrying and family sick
ness. First il was old Mother Garfield, who
was taken i'll while on u weeks Wit to hor
son. The old lady was in bed for over that
time, and at one time actually believed she
WAS going to die. AS soon M she was able
to travel she shook the dust OF the abomin-
able place, ms she termed it, off her feet and
fed the mu'ty stone walls and the perils of
French cookery. She has since formed such
repugnanco for the place that she has given
It u wide berth. While sick she constantly
moaned that if she could only get out of
there and to her old plain home ia Ohio she
knew shn wouId nat wal

Concerning CommerclnI travellers

Concerning Commercial Travellers
CoRHcANA, TKNAs, September, 1881.
10 tho Editor Of the HRpALD;
Your editorial concerning commercial
travellers, in which you defend them as a
class against unjust criticism and inuendoos
made by certain journalists of the country, Is
the first expression in their behalf from a
prominent daily have ever read. Le, me,
In the name Of commercial travellers In gem
eral, thank you for tho candid and manly
stand you have assumed In defense ola much
abused class, and for the fair statements you
make In thoir behalf Commercial men, 10
be successful, must have superior business
qualities and education. Commercial firms,
rs you say. select none but picked mon; men
trained In their particular line; men
Of quick observation and Judgment /;
men of industry and persistent
application, in short, men of character and
capacity 10 cope with tho present business
talen. Of the day. A man possessing all
these requisite qualifications Is not tho sort
OF q man TO be sneered at, and those who
criticlsc him would ignominiously fail oc,
cupying his position and they know II, hence
the shafts OF envy arc hurled against him.
The commercial traveller is an actual nc
cessity under the present system of business,
and though BIO may DO maligned, BIO cannot
DO Ignored, though he may DO lcgislatod
against, no will not DO pu, down or out Ilc
Is an institution Of force, Of capacity and Of
necessity, therefore lot justice DO done
him.

Fourteen Years OF steel Rails.


For fourteen years the manufacture of
Bessemer steel rails has been an industry of
the United States, and tho infant of 1867 has
becomes mighty giant in 1881. 1t lie the
belief of many people that the protective
tariff which wisely nourished this industry in
It's infancy should now be withdrawn. The
tariff is equal TO $2S per ton of rails, the
value Of tho rails MANUFACTURED in 1850
having been $512G7, 600. If $2S per ton
was e''cd to the price of the 95i AGO
tons OF rails by tho tariff their pro.
lection has put nearly S37,0OO,0OO of the
entire value of the rails into tho pockets of
the eleven firms by which til, were manu.
featured. That tho tariff adds such an
amount TO the price is denied by the all
makers, but 1t Is evident that protection puts
moro than it ought into their pockets. Pro-
lection puts prodigious profits into the hands
of men who rear up great industry in the
United States, just Us patent does into the
hands of the author of great invention, hut
there should BIO II reasonable limit TO such
profits. Some of the great monopolies have
fed on "A protective tariff lopg enough.

Gunpovvder PIot-Attempt to Blow up the Mansion House-A Fuse Discovered by the Police-Extraordinary Precau- tfons.
 LONDON, March 17.-At midnight police man on duty at the Mansion House observed fire on the ground near the rear wall of the Lord Mayors official residence, and found a wooden box with fuse connected to which some lighted paper had been recently ap- piled. The officer extinguished the fire and took the box to the police station, where it was found to contain about forty pounds of gunpowder with fuse in the midst of it. The policeman found the box in the recess of 6 window facing the end of George street, under the Lord Mayors private apartments The brown paper in which the box was wrapped was smouldering. The box con- tained fifteen pounds of coarse gunpowder, with fuse through 8 hole in the box and the end of the fuse dose to the smouldering paper. An explosion would have occurred very soon but for the discovery.
 The excitement caused by the discovery is on the increase. The police of the city proper set their own detectives at work with out at first calling on those at Scotland Yard, but later discoveries, or alleged discoveries, so agitated them that they sent, to the met ropolitan office and extraordinary measures were taken to prevent the carrying out of any plot The corridors of both houses of Par liament and all the subterranean passages be- longing to them were carefully searched and extra guards placed over them. The Bank of England is every night guarded by com pany of soldiers from the Horse Guards. To- night two companies were sent down and the spectacle of this double force marching to the bank attracted much attention and added to the excitement. At all the other public buildings the watch are increased. The troops in the barracks are kept ready for action and the whole reserve force of police is on duty in plain clothes.
