The white House Man.

Several hundred letters are received
every day at the White House. They are
delivered BY special messenger. The
correspondence addressed 70 the Presi.
dent Is not opened by him, aud it Is very
rare that be reads one Of the thousands
Of letters addressed to him. All of his
letters are first opened by his Private
Secretary, The majority Of them are
simply referred elsewhere, and never In
any form come to the attention Of the
President. 1t makes no difference how
Persona, private, or conhdentiaI'' an en-
velope may be marked, it does not 90 BY
the desk Of the Private Secretary un-
opened. Letters from relatives or inti-
mate friends are sent to the President
just as received, but oil others Of char
acter worthy OF being called to his atteu-
ton are simply "briefed," so that the
President can see at q glance what IL
wanted. Applicants for Office who write
to the White House are always referred
to the departments. 1t has been the Gus
tom OF late years to send out to every
such applicant polite formula, saying
that the application has been referred
to such and such department. Some
OF the simple minded correspondents of
the Executive construe the receipt of this
formula as one of the most important
steps in the way of securing the desired
office. One happy man who recently re-
ceived one of these formulas wrote in re-
ply that his gratitude over the receipt Of
the same was''as Big as an Elefent.p He
then added that when he should get his
place his gratitude would be ''as big as 2
Elefents." This formula of answer is in
reality as full of encouragement as the
editors polite rejected with thanks, !"
sent under seal with pile of returned
manuscript. But no amount of i'll sue
cess has any discouraging effect upon the
people who write to the President for i'm
formation, advice, money, or office. Out
of the 50,00O,0 900 of people in this country
there is always daily number who
fiatter themselves that they are not vast

to the President Chicago Times Wash

A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
has discovereda remedy for the worms
that play 50 great havoc among the ours
rant bushes. The ordinary black ant
is an inveterate enemy of the currant
worm. He encourages ant colonies near
the Bushes, and the result has been that
while his neighbors had few or no cur
rants, his crop was abundant. At one
time he took pains to destroy the ants.
This is another instance of the necessity
of q knowledge of the habits Of insects
to the fruit-grower and to agriculturists
in general.

Administration is that Of MI. Georgia F..
Spencer, Of Alabama, as one Of the
Government Directors. Of the Union Pa

that he represented the most obnoxious

he attracted the notice of Professor
Sementeni' whe narrowly watched
all his operation, and endeavore d to
discover his secret He observed,
in the first place, that when Lionetto
applied a piece of red hot iron to his
hair, denco fumes Immediately rose
from it, and the same occurred when
no touched his foot with the iron.
He also saw him place rod Of iron,
nearly red-hot, between his teeth
without burning himself, drink the
third Of a teaspoonful Of boiling oil,
and taking up molten lead with IL
fingers, place it on his tongue with
out apparent Inconvenience. Sc
menteni's efforts, after performing
several experiments upon himself,
were finally crowned with success.
Ho found that by friction with sui
phurio acid diluted with water, the
skin might be made insensible to
the action OF the heat of red-hot
iron; solution Of, alum evaporated
until it became spongy, appeared to
be more effectual in these frictions.
After haveing rubbed the parts,
which wore thus rendered in some
degree insensible, with hard soap,
he discovered, on tho application OF
hot iron, that their insensibility was
increased. He then determined on
again rubbing the parts with soap
And after this found that the hot
Iiron not only occasion no pain, but
that it actually did not burn the
hair. Being thus far satisfied, the
professor applied hard soap to his
tongue until it became insensible tc
the heat Of the iron, and after hav
ing place an ointment composed o
soap mixed with solution of alum
| upon it, boiling oil did not burn it
| While the oil remained on the tongue
a slight Kissing was heard, similai
to that Of hot-iron when thrust int
water; the oil soon cooled, ant
might then be swallowed withou
danger Several scientific men hay,
since successfully repeated the ex
periments Of Prot Sementeni.
