A number of gentlemen interested
in trotting, have now started club
which is bound to live, since it is not
ambitious, but social and genial. 1t
is called The Horse Club, and condi-
tons for membership are that the
candidate must in some way be inter-
ested in the horse. At the weekly
meetings no conversation is allowed
on any topic save that of the horse.
Lies and Munchasenisms may be in
dulged in, but they must all be on
the subject. Anybody of horse tastes
may imagine what pleasant times the
members have. The gentlemen rrin
cipally interested in getting up this
association are Messrs. Ryerson &
Brown, who control most of the
hacks, cabs and coaches that one
meets at the ferries, depots and in
front of the hotels. They are the
pioneers of the cab system of New
York and have grown wealthy in it,
but they have always prided them
selves on their horses.

The recent publications of the
Postoffice Department, showing the
number of letters transmitted by the
mails, show that the average number
of letters written by every man, wom-
en- and child in the country is about
twenty-five yearly. The average in
England is about forty apiece, while
Scotlands average is also ahead of
ours. In Ireland, however, the aver
age is only sixteen apiece. The
British mails last year carried bill
lion and a-half of letters, and that
was only part of the British postal
service, which included telegraph and
savings bank. The statistics of this
British system will be anxiously
sought here this winter, for they will
be made text for the argument to
be pressed in favor of the postal tel
egraph system for this country
There is no doubt that the project
will be most vigorously pushed,
though whether it will get through
in the face of the opposition which
the Western Union can bring, is very
doubtful.

(FRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
November, 5th, 1883,

The seat of govergment will soon
again be the center of political inter-
est, to which every citizen, worthy of
his perilous enfranchisement will
turn his anxious hopeful eyes. 1t
will soon again be the center of COM
mercial and manufacturing interests
for here VIII be discussed those great
economic questions, which it is not to
much to say will be felt by splndles
in the factory, by mining drills un-
der the earth, and by ships on the
sea. 1t will soon again be the ra.
dating center of journalistic interest,
for here correspondents of all papers
will hold the mirror up to politics,
to society, to life. and the times, re-
hecting the immense trivality and
trivial University of things thought,
and said, and done, in Washington
The Capital was virtually aban
doned during the sleepy summer sea
son. The White House was deserted
by the Executive branch of the gov,
ernment, and every member Of the
Cabinet WAS out of town seeking
health, rest, and amusement, while
the several departments We're in charge
of assistants Society was away
somewhere and every where repairing
the ravages of last winter s arduous So
cial dissipation and collecting phys
ical funG to be held in reserve against
the inevitable exactions of next sea-
son. At the Department of Justice
the scales were handled by one of the
innumerable Assistant Attorney Gen
erals. The government clerks male
and female were picnicing and yet,
in spite Of all this laxity, the ship Of
State gHded steadily along in the
narrow channel Of routine, whether
with or without prepayment, no one
seemed much to know or care, but the
pay roll was not curtailed by the neg
lect Of single government employe
to draw his monthly stipend.
The government has existed, has
even fourished without Statesmen,
politics, officials, or heads of any kind.
| am almost tempted to think it could
as we'll flourish forever under the SUI
pervision of the trained Bureaucracy

their routine duties to successive
presidents and cabinets.
This peculiar city was never more
beautiful than during the past sum-
mer. Its one hundred and thirty
two miles of shade trees were in
densest foliage of richest green. Its
well kept parks We're gorgeous with
brilliant flowers, at the stage Of their
highest perfection. The closely mown
lawns with flower beds of intricatre
methodical design appeared SO soft
and smooth when viewed from dis
lance, as to give the impression of
rich velvet carpets.
Numerous triangular spaces, formed
at the intersection of the diagonal
avenues and rectangular streets, have
been enclosed by iron ratings, filled
with trees, flowers and fountains, and
thus transformed into pretty NINA
ture parks. One of Washington
chief glories is its system of beautiful
parks. More beauty and variety of
landscape gardening could not we'll
