Washington, the centre to which anxious thoughts

Sir Augustus Foster, who Secretary to the
British Legation ut Washington from 1904 10 1906
tells rs in his " Notes the United states" how il
happened that the nsa aubriOus city, which so nearly
killed Lord Lyons i'll 1864, and was literally fatal

marshes, which, from the beginning of July TO the

Government mnlo" Sir Augustns attributes
the situation of the locality partly to General
Washngton's natural affection for the neghbor-
hood of his paternal property. and partly " to
considerations of personal and not very dignified
nature, which were of paramount Importance to Mr.
Jefferson, the the third President of the United
States" IL is record that, III the hrst year OF
this century, Senor De Casa YrujO the Spanish En-
voy, waited upon President John Adams to inquire
whether w Washington to be the permanent site

marked that he should be compelled to apply for an
augmentation of his official salary, as he found IL
impossible to produce decent dinner In the new city

1904, but even then an attempt was made by the
richer and more respectable inhabitants TO induce
President Jefferson to sanction the removal OF Con-
gress to Philadelphia where the Declaration OF In
dependence promul gated. But this proposition
was met by Mr. Jefferson with determined and in
yincibe opposition it was necessity OF his po-
litcal ascendency that he should pay court to the
lowest and most Democratic elements of the Nation
which he had so powerfully assisted to create and

GOLDEN SfLENCES.

There is silence that saith, "Ah met"
There is silence that nothing saith;
One the silence of life forlorn,
One the silence of death;
One is, and the other shall be.
One we know and have known for long,
One we know not. hut we shall know,
All we who have ever been born;
Even So be it so,-
There is silence, despite q song.
Sowing day is silent day,
Resting night is n silent night;
But whose reaps the ripened corn
Shall sh nut in his delight
While silences vanish away.
