The south inirmary Of the Illinois Eastern
hospital for the insane at Kank akee, Ill,
was burned Sunday morning, the 18th inst.
The fire originated In the furnace room and
had secured a strong Roadway before it was
discovered The woodwork of the building, of
southern pine, burned very rapidly The build
ing was occupied by forty five patients, six at
tendants and one night Waterman. Sew
enteen patients are missing. They are
burned beyond recognition All of the
patients were infirm and incurabl5. The red
ridden ones were rescued first, and those \. 40
were able TO help themselves did not realize
their danger, and they were the ones who per-
ished The attendants lost all their personal
effects, and many narrowly escaped with their
lives, one of them having to tie bed-clothes to-
gether to escape. There were no facilities fer
putting out fire, the state not having made any
/ appropriation. The building was new one
and cost about 81, 600 1t is total wreck

Weymouth, Putnam county.
Almost all the patients refused to cooperate
in the efforts being made to save them, and
were only rescued by being dragged from the
flames and forcibly prevented from re urning.
A marvellous escape was that of an inmate who
fell with the second floor, struck the burning
debris above the furnace and bounded through
a window TO the ground uninjured. The re-
mains of the bodies of twelve patients have
been taken from the ruins, burned to frag-
ments, only TO be identified by the location in
which they were found

Washington's Appearance.

Letter in the Cleveland Leader
An old gentleman whom l met above
the Braddock hotel told me he had for
years heard George Washington Curtis
talk of his adopted father. SAID he:
Curtis looked up to Washington as a
god. He described him as straight as
an American Indian and rs free in his
walk as the savage. From the stories /
have heard of Washington have pic
tured him in my minds eye He was a
tall man padded with muscle. He was
six feet two in his shoes, and he weighed
210 pounds in his prime. He wore
about No. IL shoes, and had
gloves three times as large as the
average. His hands were so large that
they were n curiosity, aud his whole
frame was bony and large iointed, he
had broad chest, but not full one.
1t was rather hollow, and he was trou-
bled in his last days with cough. His
mouth was firm, and his lower jaw
gripped the upper with determined
grip. In later years he lost his teeth,
and the false ones he got did not fit
well end pushed out his lower lip. He
had ewes of cold light gray, which
could look stern and angry upon occa-
lion, and which seldom smiled. He
was as wide at the hips as at the shout
ders, and kept his straightness of stat
ure to the last. He had large legs, and
was good rider and runner. You
have heard the stories of his wonderful
strength of arm and how he threw
stones wide distances. His nose was
rather thick and coarse. L have
never heard that it had blossom on
it. He was rather fastidious as to
his dress. though he wore plain clothes
when not on military duty He always
shaved himself, but had servant to tie
and comb his hair every morning
have heard Mr.. Curtis say that he rose
very early Mt Mt. Vernon, often before
daybreak, and as early as n. IN. He
would at sunrise 60 to his stables and
look at his blooded horses When he
came back he had light breakfast Of
corn cakes, honey and tea, or some
thing of that sort, and then he ate
nothing more until dinner. / am speak
ing Of his later years. After breakfast
he rode over his estate, and at had re-
turned and was dressed for dinner.
Dinner was big meal at Mount Vernon
and Washington ate nothing afterit. he
drank five glasses of Madeira wine ut
dessert, bat have never heard of his
delng drunk. He was not opposed to
the moderate use of liquor, and when
he was first elected to the House
of Burgesses of Virginia, among the
items of his election expenses were
hogshead and barrel of whisky, thir-
ty-five gollons of wine and forty-three
gallons of beer. In the Virginia House
he did not cut great figure. He was
not much of speaker, but he was pop
ular, or he could not have held his place
for fifteen years, as he did. | have UNI
derstood that he treated his slaves very
we'll, but that he made them work and
would allow no foolishness among them.
Washington liked the theatre, and he
was fond of dancing in early life"

The Washington Star reports the
story that President Arthur will retire
from office comparatively poor man
having been unable to save anything
from his salary Nearly all the expen-
ses of running the presidential estab-
lishment are paid by Congressional
appropriations, in one form or another,
leaving the necessary outlay of the
President to be only what it may cost
for food and clothing and the expense
of few entertainments. The salary is
$50, 900 year, and liberal estimate of
expenses of all kinds would fall far be-
Tow 81 900 month, taking the year
through, thus leaving a net income of
I3S, 900 per annum. In other words,
