thirty years ago. It is old, gray and

Hawthorn looked out of that window
down ON a Winters day, and seeing
the snow and the trees like snow
chandeliers, was much pleased, though
she was dAly ten months old at the

How History Is Made in Pictures-Albums
of the Presidents and Cabinets.
Washington Letter in St. Louis Post Dispatch.
The Adjutant-generals office is just COM
pleting a remarkable collection of photo
graphs of officers of the volunteer army.
Some time ago it occurred to somebody con-
nected with the office that a collection show
ing the faces of all the officers of the late
war would be interesting, and so a circular
letter was prepared and sent out to ali whose
address was known or could be had in any
way, asking that they send their photographs
for this purpose. The response has been very
general and very gratifying. Only one man
has refused, and hundreds upon hundreds
have complied many of the friends of de-
ceased officers having sent photographs of
those who could not respond in person. The
result is very large and very fine collection
of photographs of officers OF the late war.
They have been deposited in half a dozen
large albums, strong and very handsomely
bound. The plan is to ask Congress to au-
thorize the reproduction of the photographs
| by heliotype or similar process, and accom-
pany each copy of the Records of the Rebel
| lion with volume containing the portraits
of the officers of the war and brief sketch
of the life of each.
Speaking of albums, it is worth while to
mention the TACT that the Bureau of Print
ing and Engraving is just completing its ad-
dition to the cabinet album for the present
administration. 1t is probably not generally
known that such an album exists, 1t is a
custom for the bureau to prepare fine steel
| engravings for each President and his cab
met These engravlngs are in the highest
style of the art, and when bound in cor
responding style, make handsome and
unique volume The book thus made con-
tains the portraits of each President and his
cabinet from Washington down; also, views
of the White House, capitol, ETC. Only a

Tn. Depressed Iron Trade.

CLEVELAND, Nov. 15-The Cleveland Roll
ing-mill Company's steel works will shut
down for repairs about Dec. 1, which will ne
cessitate the closing of the rail mills and the
banking of blast furnaces The wire mills will
remain in operation. The improbable state
of trade explains the urgent need of repairs,
which will not be finished until the market
improves. President Chisholm said to-day:
We've concluded not to continue making
rails at loss"
Other iron works here will follow the ex-
ample of the Cleveland Rolling-mill Com
pany, and either shut down or largely re-
duce their force of employees, on account of
the depressed market

The Worlds Exposition.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator Vest and
Representatives Call.s'e and Charles Young
called, with Commissioner-general More
head, on the Austrian minister, with a view
of securing, through the Austrian govern
ment, the transfer of the late Vienna electric
exposition to the Worlds Exposition at New
Orleans next year. The Austrian minister
evinced the greatest interest, and promised
to use his best endeavors to further the plan.
A visit to the DEPARTMENT. of State was also
made, where it was learned that the foreign
affairs OF the Worlds Exposition, which,
under an act of Congress, are in charge of
this department., are in a most satisfactory
and encouraging shape. The department
has received a large number of letters from
various foreign countries evincing the ut
most interest, and desiring to make an ex-
hbit at the New Orleans exposition.

Civilian in Every Sense of the Term,
Hence Lincoln Doesn't Want Him.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-It is reported
that Secretary Lincoln will again recon-
mend the separation of the Weather Bureau
from his department and its appropriations.
He maintains that this service is entirely
foreign to the War Department and is es-
sentially civil in its character In the argu-
ment that it requires military discipline to
control the corps of observers, he replies that
there is no more reason for it in this case
than there would be in establishing military
discipline over the agents of the Treasury or
Interior Departments.
Should this suggestion be earned out the
army officers who are detailed to work at
the, bureau at Washington would have to be
sent to their regiments, so strong lobby
may be counted upon to oppose the me asure.
Furthermore, the influence of the Mclean
family would certainly defeat it in the Senate,
because it would leave General Hazen out
entirely. He has no connection with the
army now, having resigned the coloneicy of
his regiment to take his present place.
Should the bureau be put under the Interior
Department he would be subject to removal
or change like the Commissioner of Pensions
or superintendent of the census

LONDON, Nov. 15-The customs police, who
made such a strong attempt to raise Fenial
scare over the discovery of a quantity of al.
legged clock-work explosives, which they
found on a ship from Adelaide, and which
have turned out to be harmless burglar
alarms, are very much disgusted 1t now APP
pears that the officers, who imagined they
had struck a great find, and who, in their
anxiety to work their sensation for all it was
worth, detained the ship for full week,
were really the victims of an advertising
dodge The patentees of the alarms pur-
posely attempted to smuggle their machines
in wool bales, in order to attract attention.

The state of affairs in Limerick, where a
bitter parliamentary contest is being waged
between the Tories and Home-rulers is very
bad. The entire city Is patrolled by police
and soldiers. Yesterday the League placarded
the district with statements that Spaight the
Tory candidate, was a "calumniator of the
city and a secret insulter OF the Catholic re-
ligion." These placarls have already led to
several riots, and over 200 arrests have been
made

BUCHANAN,s LOYALTY.
A Letter Written During the Early Days of

Washington Correspondence Cleveland Leader.
Hon. ]. G. G. Kennedy, the founder of the
Census Bureau, and a close friend and ad-
mirer of President Buchanan, has in his pos
session the following letter.
To the Hon. J. c. G. Kennedy, Washington, D. O.:
WIEATLANDs, NEAR LANCASTER July "a. 1861.
My Dear Sir-I have received your favor of
the 22d inst. L feel the deepest sympathy for
the sufferers ID the disasters sustained by our
troops on Wednesday last, buJ not dis
cOuraged. The spirit Of our people will meet the
emergency with Grmness and yigOr. They will
fly to the rescue and in victory will wipe out
the memory of the defeat. l sometimes feel
strongly tempted to leave my retirement so far
as to ia Ike an active and public part In assisting
to ally the people OF the country to battle in
support of our time-honored and glorious fl q;
but the abuse which received from the Repub-
llcan Journals in consequence OF my letter to Mr..
SeatOn. editor of the National Intelligencer, ad-
monisnes me to desist; but my opinions are
freely expressed on all suitable occasions

great confidence in the veteran commander

health has been almost perfectly restored,
though regain strength but slowly. have no
| news to communicates from this retired but
agreeable spot. Please remember me very
| kindly to Mrs. Kennedy and the whole family
and believe me to be sincerely and respectfully
yOur friend, JAMES BUCHANAN.
Mr.. Kennedy is a delightful talker, and
when I asked, What kind OF Il man was
| Buchanan?' he replied 1.-The purest kind
est, and apparently the coolest man you
could meet. He was honest to the core, very
retiring and very charitable. When he was
| elected to the Presidency and first took pos
| session of the White House, he said to me:
Mr. Kennedy, my duties now will engross
my whole time, and I will not have much
leisure to devote to charities but wish to
spend every dollar of my presidential salary
over my actual expenses in charity, and if
| you know of any worthy cases l want you
to call upon me without hesitation.' l did
SO, and | am sure that not one dollar of his
salary accompanied him when he went out
of the White House."
do you think he was loyal man?"
| 81 know he was. But when he was Presi-
dent no one expected a great war and revo-
| luton. We all expected that the separation
could be avoided by other than war means,
and Buchanan, like Seward and others,
thought that the Union documents and other
literature of like nature which l was send
| ing throughout the South would do this.
remember the question was discussed at a
dinner party where Seward and Buchanan
were both present, and they were both OF this
opinion"

Compositors Allowed Increased Paw,

New York, Nov. 15.-The compostors en-
ployed on the World, Star, Tribune, Morn
ing Journal and Truth demanded an in
crease from forty to forty-six cents per thou
sand ems, tonight. The demand was granted
in every instance with the exception OF the
Tribune. The compositors made the demand
at the instance of the Typographical Union.
Only twelve union men were at work
on the Tribune when the committee from
the union paid visit and ordered them to
strike unless the demand was conceded.
The union men quit work and left the build
ing. The non-union men employed on the
Tribune refused to listen to the committee.
The Herald and Sun have been paying 46
cents and the Times 45 cents. No demand
was made on the latter paper

LONDON, Nov 15.-The libel suit OF the
Central News Association against the Sports
man, the latter charging the association with
issuing bogus news, was dismissed. The
suit was based upon an article in the Sports
man of Sept. 20. The article alluded to the
manufacture and dissemination of news"
that has no other foundation than the imag-
nation Of the compilers. The plaintiffs
maintained that this referred to the Central
News and evidence was given that the asso-
citation gave Toronto dispatch relative TO
the excitement there consequent upon the
rumor that Lord Lansdowne was to be as
sassinated to the Electric News Company,
which published it. The counsel for the de-
fense said it was highly improbable that any
jury would convict the defendants. These
ill-advised proceedings had revealed how tel
egrams were manufactured, and the question
now was, could we believe all the so-called
telegrams we daily read were transmitted by
wire?

LINCOLN'S BONES.
The Custodian of the Monument Says They
Are Safe.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Nov. 15.-The statements
in sensational dispatch from this city, pub
lished in Chicago this morning to the effect
that the body of Abraham Lincoln had been
removed from the sarcophagus shortly after
the attempted desecration, and had never
since reposed there, are not true. The State
Register, short time ago sent an inquiry to
]. C. Power, custodian of the monument
asking Where are the remains of Mr. Lin
coin deposited at present, and are they turn
ing to stone?"
Mr.. Power wrote a long card in reply
which was published, giving the history of
placing the remains in leaden casket, the
casket in a cedar coffin and the coffin in the
sarcophagus and the sarcophagus in the
monument where they remained undis-
turbed until the attempted desecration of
Nov. 10, 1876, when the robbers removed
one end of the sarcopgagus and drew out the
wooden and leaden cases, but were scared
away before accomplishing their object.
The sarcophagus was then sealed up, since
which time the tomb has never been dis
turbed.
The Associated Press representative called
on Mr.. Powers this evening to ask him if he
had any reply to make to the dispatch re-
ferred to. He said his card published some
time ago embraced the facts as the public
was entitled to know them, and that he had
but these words to say in addition, in the re-
ply to the statement in the dispatch that the
flesh had fallen from the bones: mo part of
the remains of Abraham Lincoln have been
seen by mortal eye since they were soldered
up in the lead coffin Oct. 8, 1874, two years
before the attempt of the thieves &c steal the
body AS have already said they are alb
solutely safe just as they were when placed
in the coffin, many years ago."

MINOR MATTERS.
Personal Appearance of George Bancroft
and His Wife.


and His Wife.
Washington Letter.
George Bancroft is now eighty-three years
old and he still continues long, hard rides
every afternoon of his lie. He told me he
was feeling well, and it may be he will yet
make out his hundred years. He has not so
much flesh on bis bones as he had ten years
ago, but what he has is all good solid muscle
of the same material as the famed shay of the
good old deacon which dropped to pieces all
at once. His wife, perhaps the most cultured
woman in Washington, was eighty years old
the latter part of last month, aud she looks
much the healthier of the two. Her eyes are
bright and her checks full and rosy. She is
a very pretty lady, and one would not think
of taking her for more than sixty at the
most. She has wonderful eyesisht and can
see at long distances without glasses, though
she uses them to read by. When she went
to Newport last summer she was far from
WELL and had to be lifted in and out of the
carriage when she went to drive. Now she
is in perfect health, and | suppose the recep-
tions which Mr.. Bancroft used to give will
be resumed this winter
