WASHINGTON LETTER.
6lushing Bridal Couples The President
and the oossips, Etc.

Editor San Antonio Light.
The attendants at the White House,
at the Corcoran Art gallery, and other
places where tourists go, tell me that
there we're never so many bridal couples
in Washington MS now. They seem to
come In droves. and It Is as easy to Sc
leot them as Office seekers. There has
always been bridal couple in the fore
ground ofeyery photograph Of Niagara,
and an enterprislng photographer there
had big sign hanging out some years
ago announcing reduced rates to newly
married people. Have your picture
taken before the honeymoon Is full"
President Cleveland is very quick in de-
teoting brides, and never fails TO give
them a hearty squeeze OF the hand and u
Presidential blessing.
| see that some of the correspondents
are insisting that the President Is going
to marry, but he isn't any nearer the
matrimonial state than he has
been for many years, and his
intimate friends think he will
be bachelor. The failure of the cor
respondents to find President Arthur u
bride ought to discourage them in their
attempts to do the same service for Mr..
Cleveland, and their interest Ia not APP
preoiated. II the President has any no.
lion Of getting married they ought to
allow him the privilege of selecting the
/ lady himself One of President Arthur's
friends kept watch of the newspapers
and clipped out everything that was
published about his matrimonial inten-
lions. just before his term expired
these clippings were all pasted In u
handsomely-bO scraD-boOk and pre-
sented to him. On the cover was
stamped figure of Cupid with CULVER
full OF arrows and the words, MANY
were called, but none were ohosen.n Mr..
Arthur regards this mcmento with q
great deal Of interest.
A good story Is going the rounds
about Colonel easy, the engineer of the
Washington Monument. When the shaft
was nearly finished, the Colonel, on
visiting it one Monday morning, was
amazed and terrified to lind that the
plump line hung some three or four in
ches away from the wall instead of close
to the stones, rs II should hang, and ms
he had left II on Saturday. lie looked
away up the cord as far rs his eyes could
reach aad all seemed correct. Visions
OF a PROSTATE monument fitted before
him, MS 1t seemed certain that the vast
structure had settled and must sooner or
later fall to the earth. Pale and tremb-
ling with anxiety he began the ascent of
the shaft, When up distance of per-
haps 200 feet he found the cause OF his
disturbance. During the interval be-
tween quitting work Saturday night and
beginning work Monday morning n
spider had spun number of webs
across the well to the cord, and the ten
sion of these individually insignificant
threads had drawn the plump line away
from the well, causing the displacement
Of the lead noted at the base of the
structure. Colonel Casey's mind was
relieved, and the workmen were hand
somely refreshed at his expense.

lnflrmitles beset us to which our youth
and maturity were strangers. Weak
ness of the lOins, rheumatic ailments,
dyspepsia, loss of appetite and unquiet
sleep, are among these. AS means Of
counteractlng the inilrmities Of age,
Hostetter's Stomach Bltters Is unriy-
allied. 1t quickens and enrlohes the
sluggish and impoverished circulation,
begets a hearty appetite and youthful
relish for the food, and enables the
stomach to digest 1t. 1t soothes and in
yigorates the nervous system and checks
a tendency to rheumatism. Its quiet
Ing action upon the great sympathetic
nerve, which connects the stomach
with the brain, results in the speedy de-
parture of the restlessness by night and
disquletude by day, which are the re-
Elected manifestations of dyspepsia. 1t
is most effectual antidote to the poison
OF malaria, gives healthful impetus to
the action of the kidneys and bladder,
and is an admirable means Of resusoi-
tating vigor when impaired by overwork
or other cause.
