HIDDEN FOR YEARS.
Material for a Romance in the Natfon-
 al Capitol.


 From a Washington Letter.
 The Capito is the growth of years, almost a century of work, upon different plans and under the direction of many minds. The re- suit is that there is such 8 perfect labyrinth of corridors and out-of-the-way places within it's walls that one may be about the Capitol for years without learning all the places in this rambling building. This much of an explanation is necessary in order to appreciate the remarkable story of John Chauncey, who has been in constant employment of the House for the last twenty-seven years. In ransacking one of the upper hooks of the House side of this building the other day Chauncer came upon an out of-the-way cor pev beyond one of the most crooked turns in the rarely visited regions of the reserve rec ords of the House document room. Chaun> cey who knows more about the building than any other man in it, in his wandering about that morning came into a corner which he had not visited since the war As he entered this ong-forgotten nook he was surprised by the sight of military uniform stretched out upon the floor. A gun and the accoutre ments of 6 private soldier of the army of the United States were in one corner. The uni form was still in very fair condition, al though badly moth-eaten. It lay upon the floor as if it had been hastily stripped off by it's owner But how had it come there? John Chauncey could not for moment tell, but soon he remembered that during the war the Capitol building was used as a barracks for soldiers The House of Representatives itself was used as hospital. soldier who be- longed to Massachusetts regiment, who had partially recovered from wound, was em- ployed for sentry duty in the upper part of the hall. One night he wandered of to th1s out-of- -the-way corner, where he experienced a sudden relapse. His old wound broke out and he died in this corner alone His body was not discovered for several days He was charged up as deserter. When his body was finally discovered, his uniform was taken off and the remains carried ont. From the day that the body was carried away until John Chauncey walked into this corner, twenty years after, no one had visited the place where the poor soldier died If the odor of the decaying body had not penetrated to one of the upper storerooms of the House document room into which invalids had been carried, it might not have been found until the uniform was discovered John Chaun- cey would have found instead of what he did a grinning skeleton in full uniform stretched out it this dusty corner. What story that would have made The accoutrements of this Massachusetts private are in the journal n1ark's office now

The Enemies.

Mine enemy, who time and oft Had smitten me with words like swords, And trampled on my answer soft Till too smote WSh angry words, Is dead and am fairly quit. God give him rest. Once well away, Seeing he loved me not whit, No heart have to bid him stay. And vet methinks the God who framed Both him and me had made us such, That we were scarcely to be blamed For loving not each other much. The little good there was in me, It was not his, nor in his way; His good haply might not see, Because he lacked one dazzling ray. We liked not, and misliking lent Our virtues it's own fatal sting, And many shaft that anger sent Was feathered from a virtues wing. To-day I saw his resting place A grave that friendships flowers entwiLe- And wondered with a troubled face, If any hands would cherish mine. The space about was kept, they said, For some who wished their bones to lay As near as might be to the dead Whom in life had wished away. God give him rest. The single crime, Mislike of me- should hardly blot His fame with one who many a time Can soothly say, II like me not" Perhaps we never fairly met That part in each God meant should live, And so incurred no lasting debt And have but little to forgive.

From the tOftnlSnIly ReVle".
 In two rooms, strictly appropriated to members, one frequented by habitual sup porters of the government, the other by the opposition, there may be seen engaged in the writing of endless letters or talking with another, some languidly, some in deep earn est, many a score of the elective legislators of the realm. Here it is a follower of the government in eager conversation with a minister, or-more business-like still-with the indefatigable patronage secretary of the treasury. Here, by twos and threes, are gentlemen whom the whips distinguish as 'Fmalecontents, conspiring with great ani- nation and cheerfulness against political rivals who are perhaps not three yards dis tant from them. The partitions which divide these rooms from the body of the House are of such kind that occupants of them while en- gagged in their correspondence, or conversing with their friends, always hear the murmurs of the House. One does not mostly distin- guish the orators words, but the interrup- tions are plainly audible-the cheers, the angry, the scornful inter- rjections, the mighty uproarious laugh, the ''Order!' "Order!'' from the chair. At one moment the house is calm, and member seated at the table deter mines he will finish his letters. Then he hears the sounds of storm gathering, and resolves Tn sudden haste to postpone hls epls- ties till tomorrow. He knows when one speech is ended and another beginning, and the knowledge thus gained by the ear is re- inforced by men coming out of the house and gliding in singly from moment to moment, or sometimes by an influx of members com ing suddenly from out of the house because some well-known bore is on his legs. But at last some speech ends, and one hears-or rather once did hear 'tDizzy's up," then another, and ''Palmerston's up," then another, and Gladstone is up." Thereupon men will quietly determine to shorten their literary labors, will composedly collect their papers, and before long go back into the House to hear what the chiefs have to say. But there used to be no such composure as this when the fibre of the wellknown voice could be recognized through the par titions, and voices here, there, and everywhere, along both sides of the lobbies, were crying out: Osborne is up." Then men of all sorts and conditions would bundle mp incomplete documents with haste that threatened con fusion and rush at once into the manufactory of statute law. The very doorkeepers used to cease from being solemnities, and be busy in carrying the infection, saying eagerly, ''Mr. Osborne is up, sir"

SENATOR PLATT.

Senator Platt was paid marked and msrit- ed compliment yesterday by the caucus which him. He has been thoroughly faithful to the trust committed to him six years ago. Few Senators in Washington have more influence than he, and there are none whose influence is of better kind. It is good policy for State to keep men of his stamp at Washington long as they will stay, for they grow in weight and power af- ter they get established. He is emphatically the right man in the right place.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Only four of the forty six States and terri tories have prohibitory laws. In five such laws have been repealed. Eleven have stringent license laws and fourteen have never Ieeislated on the subject
 When a really intelligent Englishman un- dertakes to deal with affairs in this country he makes fine show. Thus, the London Record has an interesting article on 'Gen- eral Cleveland D 'sthe first Confederate Presi- dent since the war;
 The Indiana Capitol is almost done, and a rather surprising state of affairs has been developed. The original appropriation for building the structure was $2,00O, 900, but less than this amount. Few public buildings have cost less than they were expected to.
 Crocodile ''farms" are becoming common. The largest animals are killed and skinned, their flesh being used to feed their hungry descendants That these breeding places are of no mean dimensions is shown by the fact that the owners of one of them supplied tan ner at St. Louis during the current year with no less than 5000 alligator skins.
 Steam is soon to be applied as 8 native power on the North London street railroads, satisfactory trial having been made of one of the fifteen locomotives intended for these lines Each of them have a cylinder 715 inches in diameter by 12 inches stroke and is capable of drawing three loaded cars at the rate of eight miles an hour, and at a stated working cost of 30 per cent less than horse power. It is expected that all these engines will be running in the course of the next two months.
 Heretofore at their. demise members of the British royal family have been buried in coffins covered with crimson velvet, with massive silver ornaments, but a few years ago, when the Queen paid her first visit to the sepu1cher, she observed that the cover ings had become ragged and faded, and or ders were given that all the coffins should at once be placed in new oak cases, on the top of which are the plates and coronets on crim- son cushions. The late Duke of Albany lies on stone table in the center of St. George Chapel vault, with King George of Hanover, George IT,, and the Duke of Kent The other coffins on shelves on each side of the vault. The Prince Consort's coffin was never placed in the royal vault, the Queen objecting to her husband being buried, even l temporarily, in the same place with George

NEW HAVEN, CONN.

The following Letters were published ir The Christian at Work, the leading religious paper of New York, some months since That they attracted great attention is proved by the following editorial notice which soon after appeared in that paper:-
 "The publisher of The Christian at Work has been asked if the letters published in this paper, by Dr.. ]. E. Schenck, of PhiladeI- phia, were genuine. In reply he says, that his representative has seen the originals of every letter at the office of Dr. Schenck, in Philadelphia"

 Gentlemen Fl have. concluded that it is my duty to write you in regard to the great benefit have received by the use of Dr. Schenck's medicines. One and a-half years ago 1 was very sick with what my friends and myself believed to be Consumption of the Lungs. The disease began with heavy cold, it's worst symptom being dry, hacking cough, which was almost continuous night and day. Soon after this began raising a thick yellow matter. Being exposed to all kinds of weather, by working at my trade caught additional cold and grew worse, until was obliged to give up all work. I at this tune had terrible pains in my lungs, and was soon attacked with severe night-sweats. I tried all the cough remedies advertised, be- lieve, before | heard of your remedies. They were first brought to my notice by reading your book on Consumption and it's Cure.''
 used all your medicines; that is. the Man drake Pills, Seaweed Tonic and Pu1monic Syrup. I felt their beneficial effects from the first. They gave me strength and they gave me appetite, and in a very short time my cough was looser, and soon after disappeared altogether. I began to gain flesh, too, and in the course of two months from beginning their use, was very near well. I am now entirely well, and, believe me, very thankful that found your medicines and took them in time to save my life. I shall be pleased to have any one call on me in regard to my case.
 Yours truly, P. TURNER, JR.,
