WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, May, 16, 1884.


the way, for they can soon be dis
posed Of, it is thought nothing need
interfere with the fnaladjournment.
The Morrison men are Of course in
deep mourning over the deceased
Tariff bill and talk loudly about
appealing to Chicago, where the
Democratic platform will make up
tor the lost cause, and where Demo-
cratic Congressman will indicate
their great principle.
The Senate is now considering
the bill to support the Nations cop
per colored wards, and considerable
progress was made without debate
until the amount for education in
Alaska was reached. Senator
Plumb though the education Of the
Indian was costing too much. It
was merely spending money without
any practical results. It was Of no
use trying to educate an Indian up
to the ideas that he was prince Of
the blood. The churches were do.
ing the work at much less expense
than the government was paying.
Senator Conger favored liberal
appropriation, and defended the
Indians and the work Of their edu.
cation.
The House Of Representatives had
an animated discussion over the bill
which it passed asking for one mil
lion dollars to aid the New Orleans
exposition.
Representative Shaw Of ILL.,, said
he was glad there was to be sort
of dress parade" at New Orleans
in which the States and foreign ma.
tiolls we're to exhibit their products.
He understood that Louisiana and
the other cotton states were to be
there with their cotton; the North
west was to be there with her cereals;
Florida with her orange crop, and
the ice bound North with her pc.
culiar products. He was not aware
however that this Government was
in partnership with the exhibition.
If the Treasury was to be used for
the protection of cattle, so that no
disease shall extend over the coun-
try and do them damage; if money
was to be distributed through the
Union according to illiteracy for
the erection Of school houses, so
that this Government shall trespass
on the jurisdiction Of the States, in
experimenting the education Of the
people, it would be far better to
charter a car, attach the Treasury
to Barnum's show and take It
around the world.
During last week the Siamese
embassy and two thousand Physi.
clans have been guests Of the city.
The latter have departed but the
foreigners still linger. They wear
the most gorgeous costumes ever
seen in this cosmopolitan capital,
and are extremely polite in their
manners. The Prince expressed
much pleasure, the other day, at
being able to celebrate the ami.
versary Of his birthday in such "a
beautiful city and in such pleasant
company. S. 8.
The distinguished men who cure
people were the recipients Of all
kinds of social attentions while
here. Receptions were rendered
them by the President, Chief JUS.
tice Waite, Commissioner Loring,
and several private hosts. Enter.
tainments were given in their honor
at the Medical Museum, the Corco-
ran Art Gallery, and atthe Capitol
by Speaker Carlisle, and the Presi-
dent Of the Senate. 81. 81.

Protection Against Floods.

Ihere IS little advantage to be derived
from discussing the question whether the
destructive OverflOws in the Ohio river are
caused by cutting down the forests on the
headwaters of that river or not. The
defoliatiOn of the country is certainly a
calamity, as the naked and parched con-
ditiOn of the treeless regions in Asia
Minor and Southern Europe sufficiently
demonstrates. But even if the sudden
and disastrous foundations in the Ohio
valley are due to this cause it is too late
to remedy the evil. The DESTROYED forests
cannot be replaced in a hundred years,
even If under existing conditions it can
ever be done. We may as well recognize
these inundatIOns, not only in the Ohio
but in the Mississippi also, as annual
probabilities which cannot be prevented
All that we may do is to prepare for them,
and the question how to prepare for them
is the one of practical concern.
The river Nile OvertlOws every year, and
has done so for q! es; and not only are no
measures ever taken to prevent the inun-
datiOns, but they are jOyOusly welcomed
on account of the enriching deposit they
leave on the ground. They never do any
damage, because there are no farm houses
scattered prOmiscuOusly over the country
as here, and the few villages to be found
are built upon elevated spots above the
reach of the floods. The richest lands in
the West are to be found along the
streams where they are subject to over
flow, and their fertility is perpetually
maintained by the overflow sediment. In
Wany cases these rich districts cannot be
protected, and, if they could, they should
not. But when the overflow comes there
ought to he harbOrs of refuge for man and
BEAST and these might be provided
by adopting the French and German
practice OF having farmers live to-
gether in hamlets instead of on their
farms. These hamlets. c0mpactIy built
on small areas, and holding fifty or hun
dred families each, could be fortified by
thick entertainments high and strong
enough to resist the water, and in the in
closure the cattle from the surrounding
farms could find safety till the flood sub
sides. This arrangement, or some one
similar to it, if adopted on the Lower
Mississippi, would possess other advant-
ages than mere protection in inunda-
tions; it would group the scattered people
into compact and strong communities,
and give them social and industrial priv-
leges they do not now possess. 1t would
be much cheaper than to build a leyee
round every plantation mouse, and the
plantations could be almost as effectively
worked and looked after from the central
hamlets as they are now.

a Great country for Doctors


DR.. T. j. Hutton, of Fergus Falls.
Mimi, writes to the New York NedicaL
Record: II have consulted MANY to-day
as to the temperature on the night of Jan.
II, 1883. All agree that it must have been
somewhat lower still than 60degrees on
that night, for ut 10 O'Clock in the fore
noon of the 18th the spirit thermometers.
which indicate but -52 degrees. were still
concealed On the night of 4th inst. it
must have run equally low, for Ut Il a. IN.
1t feeOrded IA deggees. My dear doctor,
we are accustomed to such airs but as
it seems to have iUr you an element of
novelty, | inclOse you an old photograph
of myself about to 20 on one Of these
country calls. And if we met and YOU
had an hour or two of leisure, l could
treat you to so many queer experiences
on such subsequently, such midnight
calls. How many times | have resOrted
to natural language-an interpreter with
in 20 miles! How often l have slept in q
sour, greasy, buggy bed! How often the
rooster rowing-perched on the foot OF
the bed-has awOke me in the morning
How often missed meals, so filthy the
houses, hotels 20 miles distant! How often
benumbed so in long midnight midWinter
rides that | could not even get out nv
pOcket-hask, so stiff my hands and fingers
How often lost by night on the pTairie--in
winter, tOO-whewl it makes my own
blood curdle even now-for l will no more
out winter nights-getting lost by day is
bad enough in winter. Ny last lost was
last Friday, returning 20 miles from a
diphtheria call. The road taken made the
return trip over 30 miles. Sat five hours
ana thirty minutes in the cutter, tenn
perature 30 degrees below-but that was
mild! Truly
"'WhO never ate his bread IN sorrow,
Who never spent the midnight hours
Weeping and watching for the morrow
He knows not You. We unseen pOWers.' ~

Turnips and Jam.


A correspondent sends us an eXplana-
ton OF the cause Of the American demand
for Canadian Swedish turnips, Of which
over 100000 bushels have been shipped
this winter from Paris and vicinity. 1t
would naturally be presumed that the
shipments were for food for cattle, but
the price-15 cents per bushel-and the
fact that the buyers don't care whether
the roots are frozen in transit or not, for
bid this. The Swedes, it is clear, are
destined for a nObler purpose, and in fact
the change that is wrought in them is
more wonderful than making a silk
purse of a sow's ear" The correspond
ent goes on to say: "HOw 1t is done this
depOnent sayeth not, but it is true that
the frozen, fragrant roots come back to us
labeled pure JAM If raspberry, apple,
plum, ETC., the only change needed is in
the flavor Of the acid used" 1t would
appear that the purchasing OF turnips at
10 cents per bushel and selling them
slightly disguised at % cents a pound is
too good business to remain forever an
American monopoly.

lie Reversed.

As an adjunct of hotel in this city is
a poker game, the equal of which for I'M
limited heavy betting probably cannot
be found in the country. The other day
one Of the heaviest players at this room,
an ex-senator, pointed out ddpper look
ing young man on the street, and said to
a friend with a sad sigh:
There goes the biggest robber on re-
cord"
'.WhO is he?"
"He's commercial drummer from
New York. lie was introduced to us a
month ago and played poker three weeks
running"
He won, eh?"
''NO. he lost. You see, the great art in
poker is to learn to size up your OppO-
nent's play and to read his facial express
sion. This fellow didn't seem to play
very well, and finally we got ON to the fact
that every time he was 'blufing' he'd
smile and look confident, while whenever
he held threes or better he'd sigh and look
frightened, just to coax us to bet, YOU
see"
"Old dodge that"
Exactly, but listen. After we had
dropped to his ways we went for him
heavy, and won 5000 or $500 every night
for a week and more. The other night we
waited until he seemed unusually eXul-
tant, and we went for him all round.
Every time we raised him he'd dig up more
coin some how, and finally ne put check
for S.. 600 on top Of the pile. We noticed
that he tried desperately to force smile
and look happy, so we all called him.
There was S36,0O0 and odd on the table. [
had three aces myself"
And then?"
And then the Internal pirate showed
down four kings. He had just reversed
on us, that was all.

In these days connoisseurs prophesy
great things of the successful artist, Ber-
nard Give, and critics are busy With his
name. But he maintains that he shall
never paint anything better than the
portrait of his lovely wife which hangs in
his library at Combehurst. That, he
says, came from his heart. She appears
in many others of his pictures. She
stands sweet and composed in her white
draperies as HermiOne, the injured queen !;
she weeps over Geraint, an Enid in faded
silk; as Egeria she cOunsels Numa from
her sacred grove. That inspiration CIiYe
owed to their first happy winter in
Rome.
There is a later picture where she sits
as the Shunamite woman with her child
upon her knee and the realization of long
deferred hope shining in her lustrOus
eyes; another where she kneels as the
Viking Haestan's wife, with her little
ones around her, and her fair hair falling
over her shoulders; but still her husband
says no sweeter presentment of Gi>ela
Give will ever be given to the world than
the picture of Lady Castlewood, which
won him his wife.-FebTudTD ATGOSU.

a canal to Unite Tvyo @eas.

Berlin Dispatch to tie London StsndGyd.
According to the Nilitlrjsche Ndchricb-
ten, the works for the construction of u
canal which will unite the Baltic with the
North Sea are on the point Of being taken
in hand. The canal will commence at q
point between Brunsbuttel and st. Mar
garethen, on the Elbe, will pass Rends-
burg and end at the Bay OF Kiel, near
Haltenau, south of the great Notifications
of Friedrichfort. The length will be 81
kilometres; the canal will have depth
of 8 metres at low water and be 100 me-
tres wide. The largest ships will be able
10 pass at all hours Of the tide III both d.
reetions. The canal being entirely under
the control Of Germany, her men-of war
will be able TO avoid the perilOus passage
of the Belt, which Denmark is at present
able to impede by her coast batteries and
by torpedOes, When the Baltic is frozen
over the ships can be utilized in the North
Sea. Merchant vessels will gladly avail
themselves Of the canal in Order to avoid
the long tour round the Kattegat, and the
dues paid by them are expected to cover
the cost of the construction of the canal.

Southern People in New York


We have some of the best types of
Southern families in this city. A son of
Gen. Tilghman, of the Confederate army,
who is descended from Tench Tilghman,
Washington's staff officer and Secretary
was admitted last week to the Board OF
Brokers. The very capable physician at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, DR., Goldthwaite,
is a nephew by marriage of John 4.
Campbell once Justice of the Supreme
Court, and perhaps the ablest lawyer in
the South. He was married to a sister of
Mrs. GOldthwaite, who was descended, l
think, from DR.. WitherspOon, one of the
lions of our Independence, though then
but a recently transplanted ScOtchman to
our shores. Our fine local architect,
Richardson, is great-grandsOn of
Joseph Priestly, the philosopher, whose
daughter married a Louisiana planter,
rriestly being in this country a voluntary
exile at the time we acquired Louisiana.
A leader Of our New York society, Mr..
Ward McAllister, is a gentleman from
Georgia. The late Judge Schley, who
married Mrs. Henry Keep, was Of an
eminent Georgia family. Mr.. jefferson
Davis Secretary, Mr.. Burton n. Harri-
son, has been long in this city, and his
wife has gained credit by her literary

Into thy sweet heart drew
The honey drops out of the flowers,
