Tho Work Of National Decorators.

It is . matter of National interest that
in the rehabilitation of the interior of The
White House we do not now, as in former
years, have to go abroad for our decora-
tions or decorators. The work begun
by Mrs. Hayes was continued BY Mrs.
Garfield. Mrs. Hayes is responsible for
the superb dinner-set of Limoges ware,
designed by Theodore R. Davis and
painted and fired at Limoges. The de-
signs are representative Of American
plants and animals. To the same ladv
is due the elegant mahogany table and
sideboard, carved by the ladies of the
Cincinnati Art School. and now in the
private dining-room. During the anxious
days of July and August Mrs. Garfield
superintended the renovation of the
Green and Blue rooms and second floor
lobby. In its present condition the
apartments of the White House thrown
open on reception days are in keeping
with our National character, and, if MOT

A PerilOus Adventure.

News has just been received of rath-
er perilous adventure which happened to
Mr.. G. K. Munroe, amember of the New
York Canoe Club. Mr.. Munroe went to
Florida with his canoe Psyche last fall.
After trying various waters he launched
his canoe into Fisheating Greek, and ran
down the creek into Lake Okeechobee.
As he passed the saw grass at the mar
gin of the lake it closed behind him and
left no landmark to indicate the spot
where he had entered. Calculating as
closely as possible the mouth of the Kis-
simmee, he attempted to enter that
stream. Nothing but miles of saw grass
appeared along the shore. He spent four
days and nights in his little canoe, COM
pletely lost. He tried to return to Fish
eating Greek. but this attempt proved as
fruitless as the search for the mouth OF
the Kissimmee. Into every hole or open
ing showing the least signs Of an outlet
from his prison he poked the nose of his
canoe. Finally he put his boat as near
the shore as possible and took to the saw
grass on foot. He managed to get
ashore, and reaching settlers house.
fifteen miles from Fort Bassinger, Sc
cured q guide, came back. recovered his
canoe, and gaining the Kissimmee Get
sail for Bassinger.-N. Y. Sun.

Wayne Station, near Philadelphia,
has developed private lunatic asylum
where, it is alleged. lunatics are made to
order when the price paid is large enough
to make it an object. One of the nurses
has told of the brutal treatment of rich
young lady, placed in there by her rela-
tives on account Of family troubles, for
tie purpose of driving her TO insanity

had heard the shot, but she could not
identify him, as he wore his hat pulled
down over his face. Many believed the
faithful servant guilty and as many be-
lieved him innocent. The little negro
girl said she would recognize the man
she saw in the woods if she should ever
meet him again. This girl was the prop
erty of near neighbor, and was seldom
seen out of her own quarters.
Mr.. Harrison and Colonel Stockworth
were the most active in searching for
some clew to the murder. Stockworth
was active and jealous and SO Mortified
that he tried to excite mob to seize the
body servant of John Nelson and hang
him without . trial; and it is certain that
had the poor wretch lived to stand trial,
he would have been hung. But the strain
On him was too great, and grief and ter
ror combined to release him from the
law and the hangman's rope.
At last the horror and excitement over
this ghastly deed began to fade. Poor
Mary Harrison lived q raving maniac for
six months, and then relapsed into quiet
lethargy. and at the end of year she
rallied, but never regained her spirits.
She would set for hours in abject list
lessness, bat never called the name of
John Nelson to any human being. The
only recollection she seemed to retain of
him was the dried and faded bunch of
white hyacinths that still retained the
time-browned stain Of blood on their
white bells. She seemed to have lost all
memory of old faces. She met Steck-
worth every few days with perfect COM
posure and when he proposed again to
her. after the expiration Of . year and .

not happen to reside here; for, knowing
the delay, the expense of waiting, ETC., !,
nonresident lawyers frequently are re-
quired to secure the assistance of resi-
dent attorneys to argue and look after
their cases.
One of the customs is that each Justice
has body servant. The Justices get
money for their own body servants, but
the custom is otherwise, and the body
servants are paid 81, 200 per annum by
the Government Some of the Justices
want to select their own body servant,
but they are not allowed to do it by the
other body servants, for the custom is
that the newly-appointed Justice retain
the body servant of his predecessor. The
body servants have never been known
to allow Justice to violate this custom.
Mr.. Justice Woods, who was ap-
pointed by Garfield, in speaking to some
gentlemen of this custom. said: my
body servant is the most annoying thing
have vet experienced. The fellow is
the first man I see in the morning and
the last see at night. He forced his
way into my room at the Elliott House,
ordered me to 60 down to breakfast, and
then asked me what would have for

pied by his master; and, again, Nelson
was not asked to return to dinner after
q morning call, or invited to stay to tea
after an afternoon visit, and was now
never asked to call again. The continued
and persistent sights and insults weighed
heavily upon his mind, but were as 50
much fuel to his consuming love-they
intensified the burning love he felt. and
tended to confirm her in her choice.
And now his visits were short and hur-
ried, and their partings sad and fearful.
Nelson and Stockworth seldom met at
the mansion, and even in the most friend
ly manner, because the one knew his
strong point, and the other was not ready
to expose his chagrin and disappoint-
ment. Mr.. Harrison would sometimes
meet John Nelson at public places and
pass him without recognition until it be-
come unbearable, because it was the SUBJ
ject of conversation throughout their
large circle of acquaintances.
At last the early spring came with its
flowers and sunshine, and all nature
seemed buoyant with life and activity.
Mary Harrison was radiant with beauty.
and as chaste and unsuspicious as Hy-
patia and unconscious of evil and danger
as an innocent child, while John Nelson
was incapable at attributiag improper
motives to Stockworth. He only felt
that there was an understanding between
his rival and Mr.. Harrison, and that the
latter preferred the wealthy suitor for
his daughters haad.
At last. with Mary's consent, he de-
termmed to bring matters to a crisis; he
was victim to sights, and often insults,
which gosded him to madness and des-
peration, and he concluded to visit the
mansion the next day and claim the

the disease. There has been no case in the
neighborhood outside the family.

cial to the Times>Star from Mem
phis says: A duel is imminent be-
tween Gen Chalmers and Van H.

Both spoke at Holly Springs, Miss,
in joint debate. Manning spoke last
and made scathing review of Chal :
mers' record. Both remained at Holly
Springs .over Sunday with messen :
gers passing back and forth, Chal,
mers demanding full retraction.
Thomas Harris represented Chalmers
and Edward Watson was Manning's
friend. Rumor of a duel gains Gre
dence from the fact that both failed
to appear at the place appointed for
to-days debate.

lhia that life preservers, with the
name Western Texas marked upon
them, had been found off Chincote-
ague, Captain Spieer, of the firm of
Z. ID. Mallory & Co., owners of the
Mallory line of steamers, to which
the "Western Texas" belongs, was
questioned this morning, and said
that he had seen the report in the
papers, but that it had caused him
no uneasiness. Captain Risk, said
he, "who commands the sWest>
ern Texas, has been with
US from boyhood up,
and he would have sent boat ashore
and telegraphed us long before this
if anything serious had happened.
l account for the hfe preservers hav-
ing been found overheard in this
way: The steamer was thoroughly
inspected on Friday before she left
this port-for Fernandina. The life
preservers, 12O in number, were
piled. upon deck. Some seerage
passengers probably threw several
of them overheard, and that is all
there iis left of it y The Western

this afternoon, and we shall probably
hear from her before night.
