Manning as "a Worker.

Washington Special.
A good deal has been said about the Presi
dents habits of labor. Probably the amount of
work which Secretary Manning disposes of in
given time exceeds that of any man in the gov
eminent and there is not another who makes so
little fuss about it. The character of his work,
the nature of the questions he has to consider,
and the magnitude of the interests that have to
be looked after. should be taken into the ac
count to understand the question. The Secre-
tary can hardly get time to think about going
away 1t would be simply just to say that Sec
rotary Manning has grown into his work and up
to its responsibilities wonderfully. Coming into
his Office totally inexperienced in its duties he
already has the ways of an old hand.
This is the testimony of the old hands them
selves-men who have summered and wintered
in the service, and really very able in their
several parts No one more readily or fully
bears testimony to the high order of their ability
and their extraordinary capacity for the task
and varied concerns Of the fiscal branch of the
government than the Secretary. With them he
has completely established himself as an able,
prudent and sagacious head. He has fully just
flied the estimate of his most confident friends,
and settled all question, if there ever was any,

A NEW USE FOR ROCKS.
A Ledge of Stones Ornamented with Quota
tions from the Poets.

tions from the Poets.
Bridgeport Comm Special.
Four miles west of Bridgeport center is "Wad-
stein, the ZONE of the late Rev. Samuel Os-
good, for many years the pastor of the Church
of the Messiah in New York city. When DR..
Osgood purchased the place, some thirty years
ago, it was a wilderness, coveredi with cedars
and stones, and suitable only for pasture lot
Upon it he built cottage, and 1t was soon
transformed. There upon portion of the
grounds a ledge of rocks oddly arranged,
which DR.. Osgood made use of to testify his
admiration for the great poets of the world. On
separate rocks at various angles he
carved in the most graceful manner the
names of Homer. Virgil, Dante, Tasso Pc
trarch. Shakespeare Milton, Corneille, Alferi,
Schiller, Chaucer, Goethe, Wadsworth, Keble,
Scott, Emerson, Longfeow and Bryant,
and surrounded them with trees and shrubbery
in most beautiful and picturesque combinations.
Over them is placed the inscription: 1.-The
groves were Gods first temples" Upon another
rock near the path is carved the saying, know
Thyself," inscribed over the entrance to the tenn
pei of Delphi The Doctor regarded this utter
ance as the most suggestive which ever pro-
ceeded from the mind of man.
Another portion of the grounds is devoted to
religious subjects. One rock is inscribed '"ro
God, the next to ''Our Father" and third I'm
Christ" Three other stones compose outdoor
pulpit on one side of which is carved the words
God is love-" and on the other the words "Glad
tidings." Here are also to be seen, upon natural
monuments of stone, quotations from the Bible
such as Blessed are the pure in heart, for they
shall see God Honor thy father and thy
mother Where the spirit of the Lord
is there is liberty" On other rocks
there are chiseed THE Holy Spirit"
"The Comforter" On an elevation long
stone is inscribed to The Prophets" and an
other is marked with ''Watch and Pray" At
the base of this knoll, in letters of stone, may be
read the words. ITO Do Justly-Love Mercy,
and Walk Humbly With Thy God" which DR..
Osgood considered perfect description of the
Christian character This region is deLominated
Carmel and the whole ground is here dedi
Gated ''To Truth and a Students Offering"
which sentence is carved upon the middle ledge
of rocks.
On long stone under bank are seen the
words Consider the lilies of the field how they
grow" In another place dedicated by him to
sentiment on one rock he carved Psyche" and
on another ''Strong son of Gods immortal love-"
from Tennyson's I'm Mernoriam" Another
group of rocks the road bears the names of
''Alfred," 'Lncoln," Washington" On an
other great rock is cut in most prominent man
ner the inscription God and our country, 1862"
The whole place thus wrought into grottos,
recesses and monuments is certainly unique
and beautiful conception.

that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess
of Germany will not come to England for the
wedding, and that they have refused to allow
their younger daughters to act as bridesmaids
The fact is that at Berlin the match is looked
upon as fragrant mesalliance and this view is
taken by most of the Princess's relatives. The
Empress Eugene has been specially invited by
the Queen to attend the wedding, but it is doubt
full whether she will be present.
