WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. l6. 1883.


Among the long headed protection
lists here, both in Congress and IN the
lobby, are quite number who, now
that the passage of tariff bill before
March 4th, is impossible, are quietly
forming an extra session They rec
ornize the fact that revision must
soon come and believe that their inter-
ests would fare better now than when
the gatheringstorm against extreme
protection and monopoly has obtained
great hcadway. If the next Congress
should not meet until December it may
assemble under the pressure OF gen.
eral and severe industrial distress. II
it does it may be compelled by public
and general outcries for relief to adopt
a new tariff with so low range of
duties as would, these gentlemen be
lieve, materially reduce their fat profits
and dividends. This position has been
assumed sub rosa since the failure TN
the part of the republicans to pass the
Legislative appropriation bill without
debate under suspension of the rules
in order to provide for the application
of the previous question to the pend
inc tariff bill. This attempt was not
the source of much political capital t.
that side of the house as the goot
sense of all disnterested thinking per
sons condemn it. 1t may be saiel,
said that a great appropriation bll
ought never to be passed without ex
animation and debate. II may be tina
this bill contains less matter to pro
woke debate than such bills usual
contain, but one of its paragraphs ma
be mentioned as containing provision
, which ought to be discussed for tn
, enlightenment of Congress. The bi
, provides for the continuance in otfic

Merely a Moderate Drinker.

A verdict was reached in the United States Circuit Court, in the case of the Muskegon National Bank of Muskegon, Mich., against the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company of Milwaukee, Wis.,, to recover $2O, on policy taken out by the bank on the title of Erwin G. Comstock, it's former cashier This was to cover Comstock's indebted ness. The question turned upon whether or not Comstock was habitual drunk ard. Comstock died in New York city June 29, 1881. When the bank demand ed the insurance the company refused to pay it on the ground that Comstock, after the issue of the policy, continued to drink hard; also, that he died by his own act, and had offered to return the premium that had been paid. The plaintiffs denied this, and claimed that he was merely moderate drinker. The jury returned 8 verdict for the plaintiffs for $22, ,5OO.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

It will be apparent to any one, who will OK anime SOLID GOLD WATCH, that asidt rom the necessary thickness for engraving and polishing, large proportion of the preciouI metal lsed, IS needed not only to stiffen and hold the engraved portions in place, and sup ply the necessary solidity and strength. The surr Jus gold is actually needless 50 far as UT11. rTY and beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this WASTE of precious metal is overcome, and the SAME soLIDITY AND STRENGTH produced al from one-third to one half of the usual cost ol solid cases. The process is of the most simple nature, as follows: plate of nickle compost tion metal, especially adapted to the purpose, has two plates of SOLID GOLD soldered one on each side. The three are then passed between polished steel rollers, and the result is & strip of heavy plated composition, from which the cases, backs, centres, bezels, &c., are cut and shaped by suitable dies and formers. The gold in these cases is sufficient to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and enameling !; the engraved cases have been carried until worn perfectly smooth by time and use without removing the gold.
 THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE WITH TWO PLATES SOLID GOLD AND WARRANT. ED BY SPECIAL CERTIFICATE.

The Grave of Jeffers on.

Lieut.. -Col. Thomas l.. Casey, who was charged with the execution of the resolution of Congress providing for the erection of suitable monument over the grave of Thomas Jefferson at Monti- cello, announces the completion of the work. The grounds were surrounded by wooden fence, and the old monu- ment to MT. Jefferson was much worn by the weather and disfgured by relic hunters. The work just completed con- sists in the grading, seeding and sodding of the surface, the erection of new monument over the grave of MT. Jeffer- son, and the building of strong and handsome fence about the burying- ground. The monument consist sts first of two foundation courses the lower 12 feet square and the next feet square, and each inches in height-which cover the grave of MT. Jefferson and four of his kindred who are buried at his head and feet and on either side. These foundation stones are surmounted by a die, feet square at the base and 3 feet 7 inches in height, and this by granite obelisk 3 feet inches square at the base and 12 feet II inches high. The total height of the monument above the ground is IS feet.
 The inscription composed by MT. Jef- ferson and in accordance with his direc- tions, placed on the obelisk is as fol- lows:
 ssHere was buried Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independ- ence, of the statute of Virginia, for re- ligious freedom, and father of the Uni versity of Virginia
 Upon the die is inscribed: "Born April 2, 1743, o. $. Died July 4, 1926" On the upper surface of the four sides of the lower foundation step are inscrip- tions marking the four graves surround ing that of MT. Jefferson-the grave of Martha Jefferson, his wife, those of Martha J. Randolph and Maria J. Eppas, his daughters, and of Governor Thomas M. Randolph, his son-in-law. The total expenditure was $s,352, leaving $1, ,64s of the appropriation unexpended.

Household Hints and Helps.

Oatmeal cookies combine many good qualities, and will be relished by chil- dren. Make them just like an ordinary sugar cooky, using two-thirds oatmeal and one- third wheat four.
 If the family is very small, and large loaves of bread are likely to. become stale before they can be eaten, it is a good plan to make two little loaves for one tin. They will keep their shape all right, and will not run together or ad- here any more than rolls or biscuits do.
 Apple custard pie should be baked with an under crust only. The filling is delicious if made of one pint of milk, one pint of smooth apple sauce, we'll sweetened, three aggs; flavor with lemon or with little cinnamon. This will make two small-sized pies or one very large one.
 A little time and trouble used in re- moving the seeds from grape sauce will pay large interest. After the grapes have cooked sufficiently so that the seeds separate. readily from the sauce through colander, then with spoon remove the seeds as far as possible, put the skins back with the juice to cook until they are soft, and skim off any seeds that rise to the top.
 Sauce for common fruit pudding is nice made of one cup of sugar, an even tablespoonful of four, and one of butter. Mix to cream, pour boiling water over this, and stir until there are no Jumps; then put it on the stove, and keep it there until it is cooked, say, for ter or even fifteen minutes. Flavor with nut meg, and put in large spoonful of mo- as ses to give it rich brown color.
