THE WASHINGTON WILLARDs,
Millionaire Brothers Who Love Gold
Better Than They Love
Each Other.


Washington Letter to tho Cleveland Leader.
Caleb and Joe Willard are among the
wealthiest of Washington's wealthy men.
They came here when they were boys
and worked at odd jobs until they to-
gether leased q tavern which stood where
Wizards hotel now stands Here they
kept a hotel and made Oceans of money.
The Willard brothers are many times
millionnaires, but all their millions can
not blow the flame of brotherly love
into their bosoms. Caleb hates Joe, who
owns Wizards hotel, and Joe hates Caleb,
who owns the Ebbit house.
Joe Willard is one of the characters OF
Washington. All sorts of stories are told
about him, and he is often denominated
The hermit. He lives on Fourteenth
street, near the Ebbitt house, in a great
brick of dirty white, which looks like a
tomb with it's tightly closed blinds and its
~forbidding exterior. He hes q wife, but
never goes into society, and he is thought
10y many to be a man-hater. A negro
servant always answers the door, and il
is impossible to gain ad~mittanoe. Re-
Gently 4 called on him at his business
den. Going through a narrow passage
over an uneven, dilapidated floor 1 was
shown by the negro %janitor up a pair Of
steep stairs, and soon stood ia the pre-
seRce of Joe Willard, the millionaire. A
queer looking man, with a big head
covered with the whitest of hair and the
brightest black eyes that ever looked into
mine, rose from an old chair as | entered
Tall, digniied and rather good looking
| thought him, and l noted his great
bushy white brows overhanging his eyes
his big nose and strong jaws. He was il
a laxative mood and, like many othel
rich men | know, his hobby was making
money. He %discoursed for an hour OF
Jay Gould, Vanderbilt and others, Civ
ing me interesting passages in theil
careers and interlarding his remarks now
aud then with a metallic laugh.

THE OHIO
The Story of Payne's Defeat in 1851
How Wade, Then Unknown,
Game to be Elected.
Washington Correspondence of one Leader.

Washington Correspondence OF che Leader.
There is great excitement here over the
Ohio senatorial contest, and it is the ge-
neral topic of conversation. Various ad-
vices, confidential and otherwise, show
that a remarkable change is going on,
throughout the democracy over the state
in favor of Pendleton. Major Tolford,
who has just returned from Columbus,
says that he knows several Legislators who
when elected were pledged to vote against
Pendleton, but who are now receiving
letters from those who were most active
in working against Pendleton, urging
that he be elected by all means over
Payne. This change, says he, is general,
and not local. Reese G.. Richards, lieu
tenant governor of the state, corroborates
this statement in regard to certain loeali-
ties, and says the fight will be very close
indeed. 81 should not be surprised, u
said he, 'to see Thurman's big Roman
nose stuck into the fight before it is over.
He has gone west to be out of the road
and where he will be left in the hands OF
his friends. His friends, / think, will
push him forward if it is apparent that he
can be elected.
Still, Notwithstanding all this. the ge-
neral sentiment here is that Henry ID
Payne has the inside track and that the
influences are at work which will secure
his election,
"But there is many q ship,
Twixt the cup and the lip"
and Mr.. Payne has already experienced
this in times past in relation to the Unitee
States senate.
HOW WADE BECAME SENATOR.
Ex-Governor Dennison, now dead, toll,
me a few years ago the history of Payne
first senatorial contest. Said he:
"In 1851 a senator was to be elected il
Ohio, and Henry Il. Payne was the can
didate of the democratic party when tn,
legislature met. Hiram Griswold, O
Stark county, led the wings. The legis
lature was 80 constituted that neither tn,
wing nor the democratic party coul,

SONG OF THE BEE.

On wings that brush the morning dew,
/ search the meadows over,
And in my wayward fight l drink
The breath and life of clover:
The wine | sip is dew-dis.illed
For Summers busy rover,
In nectar sweet that dwell, within
The waving fields of clover.
Through all the golden days of June
A Thousand knights were scattered,
And as they charged adown the fields
A million shields were shattered.
A million shields of clover bloom,
In meadows bright and sunny,
Were shattered OH their native heath
To yield a jar of honey.
And through the wintry days my hoard
Weaves strange and mystic fancies,
Before mems eyes, in gladstone guise,
The light of Summer dances;
Beneath the cloudlsss sky they see
The clover-fields and tansy
The signing woods and velvet moss,
The violet and pansy.
The lofty walls Of crumbllng stone
Where honeysuckles quiver.
AS in the breeze they nod and bend
Toward the flowing river
And springing grass and rustling leave
That welcome ev'ry conner,
AS in a dream will float along
And softly whisper-"Summer!

Real Enrichment,

We are fond of the notion that we know
more, that we are wiser, better and
more capable than our ancestors; and we
imagine that therefore we can afford to
disregard much and to tear down much
that they have said and done. We forget
that, even admitting our superiority
which at least in some cases may be
doubted-it is only what ought to be
the case, and what is the natural ont
come Of the accumulative principle
The tearing down process would forever
prevent this progress. 1t is in truly hon.
oring those that have passed from among
US by nourishing and developing the
best that was in them that we enrich our.
selves and those to come after us.

The Christmas anniversary held a'

Christmas was one Of success and
delight TO all who were present. The
services were conducted by Mr.. Brads-

which Rev. W. Is. Gregg, pastor of
Mt. Pleasant NJ. l.. church (wh0 occa-
sionally breaches bere) led in prayer.
The exercises consisted of beautiful
hymns by the school and classes, solos
dialogues, speeches, rectations, ETC., all
Of which were well rendered. The very
small children for their years, sang and
spoke well. The Christmas tree was
gaily dressed, and the house nicely
decorated with evergreens. Some four
different persons presided at the organ,

trembling, as the pastor addressed
them In suitable manner, rehearsing
the responsibility Of their work, the
origin of Christmas gifts and the en-
couragement they could expect from
these gifts Of the Sunday school. In
returning thanks. both officers expressed
themselves In satisfactory responses.
The superintendent then presented, rs
