OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Aug. /, 1854.

NO one can longer doubt that
this city is fit to be the capitol of a
great country. The comprehen-
sive plan on which it was laid out
in the early years of the struggling
republic, gives one a fresh respect
Sor those far~sighted fathers who
could even then devise q scheme
which should to-day fit the necessi-
ties Of the seat Of government for
fifty millions Of people, and be ca
pable of equal development with
the progress Of the nation hereaf-
ter. The broad avenue are a con-
stant source of delight, the park s
and squares are ample for the needs
of large city, and the great sys-
tenn of improvements, carried
through under the Sheperd regi-
me, laid the basis for the transfor-
nation of Washington from a
struggling and neglected town to a
handsome metropolis. Nothing goes
farther to Justify the choice ofthis
locality as the capital than its eli
mate. Though it suffers from the
Summer heats, it's temperature
during by far the larger part Of
the year is most comfortable, and
the change from the inclement
weather, which prevails over the
greater portion Of the country
through the winter months to the
usual balmy air of the capital is
especially grateful. Indeed, as
winter residence, Washington pos
scsses greater charms than any
other city on the continent, what
with its mild weather, its except
ional social advantages and the at
fractions which the meeting of
Congress presents to any one inter-
ested in studying our system of
government at it's fountain-head.
Every year the capitol is becom-
ing more and more the winter
headquarters for people of leisure,
for persons Of literary taste, for
students Of politics, for dcvotees Of
fashion, and . composite society is
gradually growing up in which ev-
erybody is sure to find congenial
elements.

ing q double loaded editorial bitterly
tagoaistic to Grover Cleveland, whom Il

religious and secular journal has been
closely watched by both parties, and when
last week it printed . report Of one
of its editors, Rev. DR.. Twining, ON
the Cleveland Buffalo scandal, the Dem
ocrats considered the paper solid for their
side. Tho editorial Of this week refers to
DR.. Twinin9's report, and notes the tact
that he admitted and confirmed, while ex-
Gus ng and explaining. the unchastity Of
Gov. Cleveland, and on this ground the
Independent refuses longer to support him.
Moro than this. it advises Cleveland to
withdraw frem the ticket at cncs, and in
his failing to do SO the piper rays be

other paragraph asks the readers 70 remem-
Der that the PAPER supported Cleveland

desires to rescind and cancel every good

MarWOOd,s DYING Dog.

Tussauds In the Pail Mall Gazette:
"Calcraft l had not the pleasure of
knowing, but Marwood, now-why,
Marwood has often sat in this very
chair" said Mr.. Tussaud, putting his
hand on the chair in which l was rest
ing for a moment. This was an unex-
pected joy. "Poor Marwoodl he's gone
now. He would come here when his
spirits were low. A pipe and q glass
Of gin and water, his favorite vanity,
were always at his service. Then he
would 20 round to sec some of his old
acquaintance around whose necks he
had SO d~elicately adjusted the fatal
moose, whose bodies he had sent whisk-
ing into space. 1t was quite pathetic.
He would stop before each one with q
grim smile. His lips moved tremu-
lousy as he summoned mp some pleas

where We Got the s. Cue."

The game of billiards was invented
about the middle Of the sixteenth cen
fury by q London pawnbroker named
William Kew. In wet weather this
pawnbroker was in the habit Of taking
down the three balls, and with the yard
pushing them. billiard fashion,
from the counter into the stalls. In
time the idea of q board with side peck
cts suggested itself. A black-letter
manuscript says: "Master William
Kew did make one board whereby o
game is played with the balls; and all
the young men were greatly recreated
thereat, chiefly the young clergymen
from st. Pawlcs; hence one Of the
strokes was named q cannon having
been by one Of e said clergymen invent
ed. The game isnow known by the name
of 'bill-yard,' because William, or Bill
Kew did first play with a yard measure.
The stick is now called a kew or
'kue.'" 1t is easy to understand how
"bill-yard" has been modernized into
billiard" and the Transformation OF
@kew," or "kue," into "cue" is equally
apparent.
