So Beautifully Accurate.

Secretary Folger is certainly ambi-
tious of gaining a reputation for accu-
racy. He shows that the assets of the
treasury exceed the demand by 1852,
481 ,930.01 Some people might not
have thought it necessary to have ex-
hiDIted that 81" cent, but there it is.
Now. if Secretary Folger will inform
the country how many millions Mr.
Architect Hill has thrown away upon
rascally Republicans he will earn still
greater renown. The balance sheet
of the treasury will never be satisfac-
tory until the people know the extent
of Republican stealings. They are
satisfied that it amounts to millions,
but they want to know to cent.

Clay and Calhoun.

Washington Correspondence Of the Louis
vile Courier Journal.l
The great political chiefs, Clay, Web
ster and Calhoun, stood together for
six long years in opposition to the ad
ministration of Gen. Jackson. The
public supposed that they were warm
personal friends. lido not believe that
suoh was the fact. They were jealous
of each other, and why? Because they
were all aspirants for the Presidency.
When Mr.. Calhoun separated from the
tripartite alliance at the extra session
Of Congress in 1887, Mr.. Clay smother
ed his sentiment until February, 1888.
Then it was that he arose in the Sem
ate-Mr. Calhoun having just finished
a speech in behalf of the Sub-Treasury
bill-and poured out his indignation
with an eloquence that delighted his
Whig friends. He charged Mr.. Cal
houn with all sorts of political incon-
sistencies. It was evidently a WE'LL
matured Grafton. At the close, Mr..
Calhoun took the floor, but it was on
ly to say that he would reply at his
leisure to the Senator from Kentucky.
In the course of fifteen or twenty days
the reply came, and it was a mastery
production. He repelled the onset
that Mr.. Clay had made on his politi-
cal character with transcendent ability
not forgetting to dissect, with cut
ting sarcasm, the public record of Mr..
Clay. Whe he finished, a succession
of brief md rapid rejoinders took place
between them. It only remains for
me to add that the partisans of each
champion were we'll satisfied with the
days work.

1t would have seemed most natural for
family wedding to have been cele-
brated at the old home and be attend
ed by old friends and neighbors. Such
| is not now the case. 1t smacks too
much of provincialism to go home to
get married. Washington is the only
place where an ex-official's daughter
could be surrounded with the circle to
be found there, and so the wedding is
made to glorify Washington in return
for the glory it reflects to be resident
of it. The marriage of Attorney-Gen-
eral Brewster's daughter was celebrat-
ed the same day at the Capital, although
the family home is Philadelphia and
the associations of the young lady were
all in that city. It does not take long
to be Washingtonized, and so the Off
cials who center there make their social
life as distinctly a part of the Capital as
their business is separate and apart
from the general employments of other
people. Thus grows upon people who
live there the tendency to view every
thing in the central light Of the Capt.
tai, and to be not Of Maine or Pennsyl-
vana, but of Washington. A large
class Of people would be glad to see
the ex-Presidents live there and their
children after them pensioned by the
Government. In a word, to centralize
class of people who shall know no
other section than Washington and
have interest in no other locality.
Houses once fine enough for the rich
in Washington are supplanted by pal
aces. Mr.. Blaine's house, for instance,
is dwelling so costly that it would be
out of place in any but large and
wealthy city. Such mansion in Ban
gor would be a Buckingham palace In
a village. In Washington it is one of
many. All the officers of the Govern
ment who can own costly houses in
which they permanently reside, except
ing during few weeks or months in
tho warm season. Here their children
grow up as princes, petted and fawned
upon ay ofIice-holders and dependents,
and receiving in their experiences the
distaste for any less superficial life than
is developing rapidly in Washington
in the opinion of those who note the
signs of the times.
A tendency to Capitalization, which
is shadowed forth in social life in Wash
ington, is far more apparent in other
less easily recognized, but none the less
positive and important directions.
Washington City is fast becoming
small kingdom of officials and ex-offi-
cials. whose ideas of liberty are restrict
ed to the wants Of a single city, and
whose respect for others rights is in
inverse ratio to the distance of these
persons from Washington and those
disassoclated with its institutions.

The Peoples Song of Peace.
BY JOAQUIN MILLER.

BY JOAQUIN MILLER.
The grass is green on Bunker Hill,
The waters sweet in Brandywine;
The sword sleeps in the soabb3rd still,
The farmer keeps his flock and vine;
Then who would mar the scene to-day
With valInt of battlefield or fray?
The brave corn lifts, in regiments,
Ten thousand sabres in the sun;
The ricks replace the battle tents,
The banneDed tasses toss and run,
The neighing steed, the bugle's blast
These be the stories of the past.
The earth has healed her wounded breast
The cannon's plough the fields no more
The heroes rest: 0 let them rest
In peace along the peaceful shore.
They fought for peace, for peace they fell
They sleep in peace and all is will.
The fields forget the battles fought,
The trenches wave in golden grain;
Shall we neglect the lesson taught
And tear tho wounds agape again?
Sweet Mother Nature, nurse the land,
And heal her wounds with gentle hand!
Lo! peace on earth! Lo! flock and fold,
Lo! rich abundance, fat increase,
And valleys clad in sheen of gold,
o rise and sing the song of peace!
For Theseus roams the land no more,
And Janus rests with rusted door.

CleVeland's Palace.

From the Rochester Sunday Herald.1
In Euclid avenue, Cleveland, is being
erected what, when it is finished, will
be the most ornate house in America.
It stands in what is, perhaps, a ten-acre
lot, on slight eminence, 200 feet or
more back from the avenue. The ex-
terror is of gray granite, and it has tur-
rets and towers and looks something
like an English castle. It contains ov-
or eighty rooms, and is five stories in
height. Every room is furnished In q
different kind Of wood, which is hand
somely and extensively carved. Thir-
ty or forty oarvers are at work in the
house continually. Every room is
beautifully frescoed by italian artists
expressly imported for the purpose.
All the appointments Of the house are
in keeping and Of the most elaborate
and expensive character. A gentle
man who went through the house with
the writer some weeks ago, and who
has visited all the principal palaces of
Europe, said that the interior of no one
Of them, not even the far-famed Winter
Palace Of Moscow, was more finely fin
ished than the interior or this private
residence. The owner of this splendid
mansion, the cost of which will be away
up among the millions, is Sam An
drews. Ten or fifteen years ago he was
not worth as many thousands as he is
now worth millions. One of the orig
inal partners of the Standard Oil Com
pany-in fact, the practical man in the
refinery-he drew out of the company
two or three years ago with money
enough to build the finest house in
America and have money enough left
to live like prince.

that Is, the face, and not the basin.
The public also hears of paper shanties
which are fire, wind and waterproof.
But the wonders in paper do not cease
here, for car-wheels of the best quality
are made out of papar; and to clap the
climax, paper rails are being made
which will stand both wear and
weather better than those formulated
out of Bessemer steel. 1t is also
claimed that heat, cold and the humid
varia items of the atmosphere have no
deleterious effect upon them; that from
their lightness they can be made longer
with more perfect connections than
the metal rails; that trains will run
more smoothly and noislessly over their
surface; that the adhesion of the driv-
ers of the locomotive will be greater
than that of steel, thereby enabling it
to draw heavier loads with less STRAIN.
Beside all this, there will be saving
of fuel with less wear and tear of roll
ing stock. These paper rails are rep
resented to be SO solid and 30 tough
that spike cannot be driven into
them. Increased speed will be secur-
ed through their adoption. Let every
body now hurrah for paper in every
form except that of a donation paper,
a due bill or a dunning bill long over
due. In the shape of Treasury notes
or National Bank bills, paper is very
portable and decidedly useful; and in
this form most people like to handle
paper.

A FIRST Railway Ride.
From the Wood River Times.1

[From the Wood River Times.]
A young lady we'll known on Wood

Idaho, and had never seen a steam
boat or railway car, recently left for q
trip south, and much interest was ex-
pressed here by her friends as to her
first Impressions of the outer world.
meanor that many friends believed
that she would pass as an old traveller
but letter just received from her es-
cort proves that young lady. even
one of Idaho's fairest. and one that
calmly regards the wild Indian on the
war-path, is unequal to the occasion of
calmly passing through the surprises
of modern progress.
She became skittish at the approach
Of the evening lightning express, with
the great bull's-eye headlight, and ao-
tually pranced when the train neared
the depot and blew a shrill whistle.
Her friend could not quiet her or coax
her, and finally, rather than be left,
they blindfolded the young lady, and
by main force landed her safely on the
train. The letter remarks it was for
tunate the windows were so small, as
she frequently attempted to get out,
and could not be convinced that the
telegraph poles, the hills and houses
were not all whirling past her as she
sat Ia the car, and every time they
crossed bridge she shut her eyes, be-
lieving the cars were flying ia the air
across the river.

After years of experiment, study and
