WHITE HOESE HOSPITAL
kTY

In a recent issue of the New
York San there appeared this
paragraph
Directly and indirectly there
is voted to the President for the
Executive Mansion such a sum
as will make, with other advan-
tages, the allowance made to
the President exceed 100000 a
year. And there is mole atfec-
tation of court life about the
White House than has ever be-
fore been known there. There
is a poor prospect for an econ
unlical Government with such 4
costly Executive establishment
at the head. Thus do we see
the aristocratic tendency Of the
Government. 1t will not be
long at this rate before oiiicia
life in Washington will be char
acterized by the imperial splen-
doris of Europe.
Arthur is probably trying to
make some atonement for the
parsimonious Hayes regime.
Rutherford b was a great
scrimper. He Joined temper
ance league with his wife in
order to have an excuse for not
setting up the Champagne at
state dinners. A state dinner
without wine is anything but
enjoyable. Hayes saved up
every cent he could by species
Of niggardly economy to en-
a Ole him to live the rest Of his
life without work. Ii is better
by far to see a Whoie-SOuled fel-
low in the White House who
sees that his guests are well en-
tertained than a misery chap
who is TOO stingy to leave a
good impression in company. If
this country can't afford to have
enough at the White House it
had better disincorporate. The
sum of 100000 a year is mere
DagatelIe to the money lavished
on state occasions in Europe.
One big spread there would cost
nearly as much.

ever, is seen at the port of New Orleans,
where the growth was over 125 per cent.
in the same period in which the exports
of the port of New York fell off four per
cent. The expectations from the port of
San Francisco also fell off in even greater
degree than at New York, the loss there
being no less than thirty per cent The
direct expectations from the port of Chi
cago were also four per cent. less than
those of the preceding year. Yet the ex-
ports of the port of New York are nothing
small. In breadstuffs during the period
named they were, in value, SAG, 100000
and were just forty per cent. of the total
expectations of breadstuffs in the
whole country. The total exporta-
tions of breadstuffs for the eight
months named amounted to 1000, 900,
against Sll0,000,000 in the same pc
riod of last year. In wheat the quantity
has fallen off from S64, 100000 of last year
to S42, 900, 900 this year. The price of this
year has, too, been little below that of
last, the average value being put at 81 II
per bushel last year, against 81 Is per
bushel this year. In corn, however, we
gained more than we lost on wheat. The
exports of corn for the eight months were
10000, 600 bushels against 100000 bush
els in the corresponding months of last
year, though the average price at which it
left the country this year was 10 cents per
bushel, against IS cents last year. The
total value of corn expectation in the
period named, however, is put at S29, 9,0O0,-
900 this year, against SS,000,000 in the
same time last year.

THE BOY.BURNER
Found Guilty of Assault and Battery
but Acquitted Of Mayhem.

After fifteen hours deliberation the Jury
in the Albritton case brought in verdict
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, finding
Albritton guilty of assault and battery
upon his stepson, Jesse Maynard, but ac-
quitting of the count in the indictment
which charged mayhem. The Court
charged the jury that if they found the de.
fendant guilty OF assault and battery, and
thought the degree OF his offense merited
a greater fine than $50, which was the
maximum amount he could assess, they
might fix it at any amount they might see
fit. They accordingly made the fine $500,
leaving the Court to assess the length
of imprisonment The limit is one
year, and though Judge Greer has given
no hint as yet of his intention, it is conf
IDENTIFY predicted that he will do all that
that the law allows him. A motion was
made for new trial, and will be argued
to-day. There were three colored men on
the jury, and it Is understood they were
for sentencing Albritton to the peniten-
tiary on the first ballot. About dozen
votes were taken in all, the three darkies
and one other juryman holding out until
about 10 O'Clock, when a compromise was
