Stock in the Fall.

If we'll cared for now, stock will en-
ter upon the winter well prepared to
stand exposure to inclement weather.
But if permitted now to lose flesh, they
will not readily fatten later in the
year, when large part of their food
will be required for keeping them warm.
Calves need especial attention at this
time and should every day have access
to ground feed. 1t has long been adj
mitted that the first winter of beast
life is most important in determining
the character of its growth. If calf
be we'll fed from its birth, it will APP
pear in the spring as large and far
more thrifty than an animal almost or
quite year older, which has not had
good treatment. There would be a
little difficulty in finding among cattle
which have been properly treated,
yearlings which outweigh animals Of
twice their age, and will readily sell
for three or four times as much as can
be got for scrubby stock; yet no one
would claim that the fat kind have
eaten twice as much as the scrubs have.
In raising stock it is emphatically true
that work we'll begun is half done. 1t
would be foolishness to allow neglect
to undo that which has been accom-
plished.

sweet little cottage. We all decided
that 1T was a very appropriate and
characteristic style of ornamentation.
We visited the construction depart>
ment, where they were building boats,
and the ordinance department, where
the pharaphernalia of war is kept.
But minute description of these

and attention on the part of the readers
than l can possibly command.

| had always imagined, judging by
the "braw laddies" who formed the
military companies of the VOLUNTEER
State" that some halo of glory hung
round ''the uniform" which had power
to transform an ordinary man into a
very handsome one, and by the same
rule, a handsome man became an
Apollo Belvidere. But alas that rule
does not always hold good, as l found
to my sorrow. Not one of all those
men | saw in the Yard would have
stood the ghost of a chance to obtain
possession of the fruit which caused
such trouble when cast upon the
Olympian table, and got Paris into no
end of scrape. They have a stiff,
automaton like forms and cold, uncom-
promising faces, to which it would
seem that smiles came like angels Wis,
its, if they came at all. They have
very gruf voices, some of them were
bald headed, and none of them could
lay claim to even ordinary good looks.
Iventured to conide my disappoint-
ment to Polly, but in her usual unsym'
pathetic manner she informed me that
l "was a goose" "But," she added,
"they are an awfully ugly set.
The drive from Pensacola to the
Yard is beautiful, carrying you as il
does through pine forests, past vine
wreathed cottages and pretty little
villas, over two beautiful little bayous
and then across strip of glistenine
white sand to the Gland entrance
where a massive gate shuts out thu

with Pensacolians.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Oct. II, 1883.
Your correspondent learns that the
President proposes to lead society him
self this winter. The executive man.
sion has been undergoing repairs and
decorations all summer, and is much
more desirable as residence and more
suited for the tasks of entertaining
than ever before. The Chief Execu-
tive has decided penchant for social
pleasures, and his good taste in all such
matters is well known. The White
House, under his quiet supervision, has
come to have about it an air of refine.
ment, taste and elegance which is quite
a novelty. He himself seems DESTROYS
in an transformations way to impress
this distinction upon his surroundings.
I think, in fact, that he accepts the
title of a polished gentleman with salts
faction and is rather proud of it. He
always dresses in fashionable attire,
wears a seasonable flower in his button.
hole, and is the glass of fashion and
mold of form in appearance and style.
Among his intimates he is said to be
extremely easy in conversation and
most cordial in manners. His accept
ance of any social attentions at New
port are of course to be repaid in like
coin, and the leaders of society, SO.
called, are quite congratulatng them
selves on the prospect of lionizing in
the White House this winter. But
while it is difficult matter in these
sarcastic times to lead in fashion and
save oneself from ridicule, there is
nothing of the dude about President
|
Arthur. He is Independent enough to
select his associates in accordance with
his own tastes, but ! do not think thai
he will allow his dignity to be sacrificed
on the social altar. He cultivates so
ciety more as a reliefto hardheaded
wearing work than as an occupation o
itself. The President still occupies hi
summer residence at Soldiers Home
a quiet secluded spot which he like'
very much. The White House ha'
been closed to visitors since early sum
mer, and has been given over to car
penters and decorators. lie will occu
PVT about the first of November, anc

the season will then open. His sister,
Mrs. McElroy, will be the chief hostess
but the circle of ladies who make up
the American Court will include the
names of all the leading ladies in socie-
ty and politics. | cannot learn that
any definite programme has been pre-
pared for the winter, but there will be
a continual round of receptions, din
ners, etc. There will be four or
five public receptions, outof Difference
to Republican ideas, but those oc.
casions are voted a bore by those who
have the entiee to the better class af-
fairs. The President finds them very te-
dious, butsubmits as duty. The really
enjoyable entertainments are the official
receptions, the State dinners, and the
select social parties which are made up
from the inner circle of distinguished
people.
There has been rumor often re-
peated that Mr.. Arthur wants to mar
ry again. 1t is an actual fact, as the
writer knows, that certain rich widows
and aspiring maidens have made the
pilgrimage to the Capital to tempt the
fates in their favor. But this eligible
match is still open to fair rivalry. His
intimates say that his domestic tastes
are strong, and he would not be averse
to matrimony if suited. 1t may be
fairly expected that this fact will add
piquancy to the gossip Of society this
winter. Among the foreign legations
there will be quite rivalry for display.
The Russian Embassy will occupy the
elegant mansions built by Boss Shep
herd for his own use in those golden
days when he was Governor of the
District and price Of contractors. 1t is
now being decorated and furnished in a
style which is claimed has never been
attempted in this country. the Rus
sian Minister is determined, it is said,
to outstrip all rivals in the magnifcence
of his entertainments and the gorgeous
ness of his displays. His palatial house
will be a second Kremlin wherein all
the gayeties of the aristocratic court of
Russia will be reproduced. All this
is brought about by a strange
fact The predecessor to the present
Minister did not enjoy high charac.
ter among the trades.people, as Gus
toner. 1t is claimed that the diplo~
matte barriers in the way of collecting
domestic accounts were absolutely in
surmountable. And it is now said
that these facts coming to the ears of
no less person than the august Empe-
ror of all the Russias himself, he has
condescended to order that the Russian
embassy at Washington shall wipe out
this stigma by lavish extravigance
and display. This is good for the
grocers at all events. But it is also
said that the French, Spanish, Japa>
nese land Chinese legations are max
ing arrangements to entertain in great
style. All this, with what can be done
by resident millionaires, aspiring presi.
dental candidates, aggressive and veal
thy politicians and the like, promises TO
keep the city in whirl of excitement
all this winter.

BY NoRINE.

About seven miles southwest of Pen.
sacola, on point of the main land To-
cally known as "Tartar Point" is stu.
ated the Pensacola Navy Yard. 1t is
accessible both by land and by sea, but
our first visit there was made across
the Bay in Captain jacks boat. The
Yard is enclosed by stone walls with
fight of steps descending to the waters
edge, where we landed and passed in
side the charmed inclosure. The terri.
tory enclosed, together with two little
villages entitled Warrington and Wool.
sey, the one to the west and the other
to the north, are included within the
Naval reservation and belong strictly
to Uncle Sam. The land is granted to
the inhabitants by the Government on
condition that each householder puts
up suitable dwelling on his part of
the land and keeps the grounds about
it in good order. If he fails to fulfill
the requirements, the commandment of
the Yard retracts the grant after pay
ing the delinquent the valuation of his
house. This, from all we could learn,
seldom occurs, as the inhabitants are a
peaceful, law-abiding, order loving peo-
pie. The Commandant is the autocrat
of the Yard, and he must settle every
disturbance there from general riot to
a street fight.
Once inside the walls we we're struck
with the air of exquisite neatness and
order which pervaded the whole place.
The Commodore's beautiful, picturesque
residence, with its wealth of flowers
and shrubbery is distinctive feature,
and around it fingers the perfume of
cape jasmine and orange buds, which
softly stole to our senses on the warm,
heavy air. The houses of the other
officers are very pretty and well kept,
and all have home.like, restful air.
Beyond them are the magazines, i'm
posing brick structures OF a two story
height, having no windows and no visi-
BILE means Of ingress or egress. They
very forcibly remind one that Danae's
bower was not altogether myth,
though suppose they are accessible to
things even more substantial than a
golden shower. On account of these
same magazines no smoking is allowed
in the Yard, and gentleman of our
party, stranger to the place, who
held cigar between his lips was pre-.
emptorily ordered by one of the guards
to "throw it away" even before it wa;
lighted. At intervals on the street:
and around the private dwellings are
pyramids of cannon balls, and Otter
there are artistically arranged groups

IRE WE ONE.
MRS. L. VIRGINIA FRENCH.

Are we one, my sister, dearest?
One or two, my azure-eyed,
Sunny-hearted gypsy, fairest,
Little laughter.loving LidO?
Like the tabled ''Star" and "Stella"
To the morn and even sun,
Don't you think, sweet Zingarella,
That our spirits are but one?
Blending brightly, shall we frame them
Into Springs eolian tune?
Or disparting softly, name them
Laughing May and Smiling June?
AS the sunshine and the shower
That, in flashing jewels, run
Through one golden April hour,
So our spirits are but one.
Joy, to them, is like the springing
OF the birdling's coral swell,
Sweetly wild, and softly ringing
With Ginning matin bell;
And when round them sadly linger
Shadows of the lovely flown,
Sorrows stained and tear-dewed finger
Writes upon them eye are one"
Long ago our gentle mother
Sought the sunny spirit-land,
And we never had brother;
So we wander hand in hand,
Through life's labyrinthine mazes,
Where to guide us there are none;
Yet amid its thousand phases,
Still our spirits are but one.
Smile. my love! the great All-seeing
Is our Father, and we bow
To the land that gave us being,
AS our noble mother now:
Pillared flame and cloud before us
= Through the wilderness begun,
They shall journey, watching Ger us,
That our spirits may be one.

l might pass from earth with you,
That our hearts would ne'er be lonely,

But deeper bliss is given
Us, to know-our mission done,
As on earth, so in the Heaven,
Shall our spirits be but one. r
