the second floor of the brown stone building
facing the north wing of the treasury, which
was built and occupied by the Frccdman's S
bank, but now the property of the COVER
ment. The room has southern exposure
and commands view of Fifteenth street,
pennsylvania avenue, aud the White House
grounds. The walls are adorned with por.

Tho Post Omcc Head.
Postmaster. General Gresham has his Office
in pleasant south room on the third floor of
the post Office building, fronting L street.
His desk is placed between two windows,
and behind his chair is n long pier mirror.
The chair in which he sits has cane scat
and back, but the other furniture is walnut,
upholstered in dark leather. a large easy
chair covered with leather is placed next the
desk, and this he occupies while convcrsng
with visitors. A small iron deer's head pen
rack holds brace OF gutta-pcrcha holders
with steel Pens which the poslmastcr-general
uses for SIGNING his au'hograph. His steno-
grapher sits opposite him at the same desk,
and all his correspondence IS dictated. The
mating has not yet been removed from the
floor, and small rugs in dark colors serve to
make the Office look comfortable. The walls
are covered with crayons of former incum-
bents of the position, that of Postmaster
General James being framed the handsomcst.
TcIler's interior.
Old-fashioncd, straightforward leather up
holstered furniture is ,nspicuous upon enter
ing the officer of Secretary Teller of the
interior department. The room is on the
main floor of the patent Office building, in the
southeast corner, and commands view of
Seventh and streets, the pOstoflice build
ing being opposite on the latter street. Red
is the prcvaiiing color of the furniture, but,
with the exception of the revolving cane seat
chair in which the secretary sits, the other
articles look stiff and uncomfortable. AS
worker Secretary Teller ranks with the sec
retary of the treasury, and, like the latter, is
usually the last to leave the department. The
cheerless aspect OF the office is relieved by
an open fireplace, in which substantial oal,
and hickory logs blaze. A revolving book
case at the left Of the desk contains
a number of legal works used for refer
ence in preparing decisions on disputed land
grants, Indian and other questions coming
before the department. Pictures of former
secretaries of the interior arc hung upon the
walls, the majority being in crayon.

AGRICULTURAL.
Hints on IIorse-Iirccding.

The man who bcgins as he can hold out
will avoid all needless expense. 1t is n
positive injury to pamper any breeding
animal, and especially to soften it by bet
ter treatment for time than can be given
to it and its postcrity. Horses are often
utterly ruined as breeders by overlooking
and want of work. The breeding horse
should be kept Mt work as steadily as pos
sible, and when not worked should always
be turned loose in yard to take his own
exercise. The only extra expense for him
should be yard to run in and stronger
harness while if he is MS superior as he
should be to common horses, he will stand
constant work with the teams and the ex-
ira riding and driving needed.
A horse so treated will not get as much
patronage the first years MS if he were
stall-fcd and fattcncd but as soon MS his
colts are tested they will bo found far
more stylish, spirited, enduring, healthy,
docile, and capable than those from fat
lings. Like produces like. A horse in
condition for work at the time of service
will have colts constitutionally in like
condition while a failing, so soft that it
would kill him to carry heavy grist to
distant mill or to go for doctor. will
iuNc iCMtl tollS, uu't tlObC
ly like himself and the Gagged brute, 30
fierce that he might kill his rider if not
strong, skilled horseman, will have colts
hard to break, fractions, scary, vicious,
and treacherous. Hence the man of small
means, who works his own horses. is the
very one to own horse too valuable to
be driven by hirelings. Half breeds of
any stock can often be bought, at two
years old, at 5000 or $500, or as sucklings
at 800 each. By getting pair, working
them together and breeding from the
mare, man might, in eleven years, have
his farm fully stocked, and thereafter
have source of handsome income
The only thing essential is to get
promptly n female, half-breed or more, of
the desired stock If it be necessary to
ride fine mare hundred miles, it is n
start well secured. Once well started,
the business will pay well and enable the
breeder to take his place also among
those competing for the best stock at the
highest prices.

The Late Storm in Butler County

A correspondent of the Gazette, writing from
Freeport, last Wednesday, says: The storm of
last week was much more destructive in Butler
county than has been reported. Wind destroy
ed timber by the acre and hail fell in large
stones, covering the earth to the depth of sew
eral inches, literally destroying all vegetation.
The crops are totally ruined large fields of
corn are battered down and oat fields cannot
be cut Much wheat and rye damaged by the
storm will not be cut, and the farmers are
blowing their fields in order to plant them in
buckwheat. Many fruit trees are divested of
their leaves and fruit, while in some instances
the bark was Knocked loose from the branches
The farmers reporting the heaviest loss live
in Clinton township. Among the heaviest
losers are J. s. Love- John Norris, j. II. Love
and ]. Cunningham. Their crops are totally
destroyed and great damage to their timber and
houses and fences down.
At Pughtown, Absalom Monks, John Jack
and Arch Montgomery's losses are very heavy.
George Mazeland reports his loss at 1000
The hail broke fifty panes of glass out of his
residence and stripped his trees of all their
fruit, and literally destroyed all his crops and
garden. Alb. Monks residence and J. III.
Lune's had no glass left in them on the north
west side. Down at Wm Woods the heavy gale
passed through his large timber, moving
swath through it as reaper through grain
field. Fifty-eight were twisted off and uproot
ed and lay heaped up in its track.
enthusiastically toward Larden Mills the
farms of Philip Snyder, Squire Harvey and
several others were badly damaged. Mr..
Harvey said the stock in the fields were pelted
and beaten with the large hail till they ran
wild. They could not find shelter anywhere,
and some smaller stock were killed.
Passing through by Emory Chapel the
storm visited the section of country owned by
the Ekases, doing the same damage there, and
Alf Ekas had large number of poultry killed
by hail.
The width of the storm was over a mile and
has destroyed nearly everything in its course
for several miles in length The hail was so
thick and in such a large quantity that much
of it could be found and gathered two and
a-half days after its falling.

General News Items.

A Squire up at St. Clair, Mich
igan, after listening 10 the arguments
of couple of country lawyers for a
couple of hours, charged the jury as
follows: Gentlemen in this case the
counsel on both sides are unintelligible,
the witnesses on both sides are incred-
ible, and the plaintiff and defendant are
both such bad characters that to me it
is Indifferent as to which way you give
your verdict"
Villages and farm buildings
knocked to pieces and filling the air
with flying shingles and clapboards;
church steeples taking flight on the
wings of a tornado; deluges of rain
turning dusty brooks into roaring tor
rents before which bridges and culverts
GO down like card houses; thunder
clouds sending their bolts right and left
into trees, barns, houses, and camp
meetings, regardless of consequences,
like British ironclads bombarding some
poor beggar of foreign town; cellars
flooded, grain fields washed out-such
are among the storm calamities of
which we hear now almost every day.
-Postmaster-G General Gresham has
done good thing in excluding the cir
culars and letters of the Louisiana
State Lottery from the mails. Mr.. Key
took this step under the administration
of President Hayes, but the operation
of his order was suspended because the
lottery undertook to test the legal ques-
tion. But instead of pressing the mat
ter to an issue it courted delay as the
best way to cure immunity The De-
partment now retraces false step by
compelling the lottery to ascertain its
rights under the law We shall be
very much disappointed if the courts
set aside Mr. Gresham's decision. Up
on principles of common law and of
public policy, the lottery has no rights
in the matter.
That any State of the Union should
continue legal sanction to an institu-
tion constructed to promote gambling,
and should be willing to share in its
shameful profits, is sufficiently humili-
ating. But Louisiana is within her
rights in so doing, so long as she con-
fines the mischief to her own people
By the use of the national mails the
lottery draws its spoils from every
quarter of the country, and the State
levies revenue upon the fools of every
Commonwealth in the Union The
time has come to draw the Gordon san
itaire around Louisiana in this matter,
for the sake of the colored people of the
adjacent States, if for no other reason.
They are especially victims to the
temptation which this legalized iniqui-
ty spreads before the unwary.

An error has been made in stating
that the full month of December has
been taken off the deer season. Such
bill passed the House, but the Senate
added fifteen days more, making the
season extend to the 10Th of December.
This is not as good as the House bill,
but is better than no change There
ought to be a law restricting the killing
of deer to every other year. This
would be means of saving the lives
CT both deer and men, for of late years
the hunters have become so thick in
the hunting grounds that their trusty
rifles have been thinning cut their own
ranks.
