" the old ceiling in this room fell TO the

is absolutely no expense to the assOcia-
ton for the care otsthe house, save for the
necessary scrubbing after the presence OF
a large number of visitors. The care OF
the grounds is confined to a green house,
at which flowers are sold in sufficient
quantity to pay its expenses. The outlay
for all these and other incidental eXpen-
ses, outside the salaries OF the employees,
cannot be more than 500 year, and yet
it is estimated that the income OF the as
sOciation is not less than $50 day. Ihe
money goes somewhere. Its exact dest-
nation is not known. but evidently the
funds do not get beyond the clique who
are now running affairs at the "home OF
Washington" 1t is an old saw that says
''eVerybOdy's business is nob0dy's busi-
ness" On account of lack of concerted
action this monopoly is permitted to GO
on year after year, with only now and
then a strong protest against its eXtor-
tiOnate policy. AS far as your CORE
spondent can learn, no accounts are rem
dered to any one outside of the board; no
reports of it's financial standing are given
to the public, but, on the contrary, the
utmost secrecy and care is preserved to
prevent the people from knowing how
their property is being managed. 1t
seems that the time has arrived when
some action should be taken to force
these people to disgorge, or at least to
''giVe an account of their stewardship"

A STRANGE VISITATION.
Curious Birds, GrasshOppers and Fish
worms Borne on the Wings of a
storm.

Curious Birds, Grasshoppers and Fish
worms Borne on the Wings of a
storm.
From the Louisville COurier-Journal
just preceding the heavy shower Thurs
day night at II O'Clock a most remarkable
occurrence was witnessed in Louisville.
Although the night was dark and the
heavens were as black as a coal shaft,
white meteors were observed floating
through the armament. At the corner of
Fifth and Market streets many people
were gathered watching the strange spec
tacIe and trying to solve the mystery.
AS the clouds thickened and the dis
tant rumbling of the thunder grew
louder these strange messengers came
nearer, and in time the rustling of wings
and chirp of birds were audible. just
before the clouds let loose their torrents
of rain these objects came dashing into
the street with a chorus of chirps and
tlutter of wings that created the widest
excitement among the observers. Within
a miraculOusly short time every tele-
graph wire, sign and window along
Market street, from Fifth to Sixth was
covered with these strange visitors.
The birds were of all sizes aud shades.
The majority, though, were white and in
shape very SlulldI 10 lQe canary. some
We're of the quail feather, some were Of a
marten hue. some were of the blue bird
color, but fully nine-tenths were as white
as the driven snow. The white birds had
the trill of the canary, and were an almost
exact counterfeit of that bird except in
color. They would light on the telegraph
wires and whirl down to the pavement TO
be frightened back by the excited crowd.
They fluttered around for some minutes,
until the torrent of rain came, dispensing
them and driving them TO shelter in the
windows and caves of the buildings.
When they first swarmed into the street
their number was estimated all the way
from 500 to 5000.
Following this invasion of the teathered
tribe came a shower of grasshOppers,
which were beaten down by the rain to
the pavement and crushed by the pedes-
trians' feet. Many fishwOrms were also
sqUirming in almost every pool Of water.
The occurrence was one of the most
phenomenal ever witnessed in this section
and, marvellous as this account may read,
it is nevertheless true. and can be sub
Stimulated by a score Of reputable men
and women.

The Thames nocturne of blue and gold

The bridges, till the houses walls
Seemed changed to shadows, and st. Paul S
Loomed like a bubble DER the town.
Then suddenly arose the clang
OF waking life; the streets were stirred
With country wagons; and bird

With lips of flame and heart of stone.
