Washington Letter.

washington Letter.
Senator Lamar is quiet, studious and shrink
ing man, to whom any conspicuous position is
painful. He speaks seldom in the Senate but
when he does the chamber fills up and the cloak
rooms are empty. He is a scholar, and his
speeches are models Of rhetoric besides being
rich in ideas. He never speaks extempore and
makes no secret of carefully preparing his re-
marks before ne rises to speak. His domestic
misfortune is one reason why he retires SO much
into himself. His wife, to whom he was
much devoted lost her mind few years ago.
Her dementia was mild. and she remained at
home under the most affectionate care. At one
time 1t was thought she would be benefited by
being aiken to a retired place in the mountains
not far from her home for time Senator La
mar had plain but comfortable house built IN
the mountains, took her there himself, and spent
the whole recess of Congress taking care of her.
She died about six weeks ago Senator Lamar,
ever since his wife's illness began, has had no
taste for society, and has devoted himself to
politics and literature. He is a man Of great
gentleness of manner and amiability of temper.
and is both liked and admired by his associates
in the Senate.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb 81
The week closing to-day will be remembered
as the off week in trade of the earlier part OF
1885. Probably the volume of business done falls
below that of any week in many years. Snow
blockades and severe cold weather practically
brought most of the railroads to stand still, sc
far as moving freights is concerned, and this
means a stagnation of business generally The
belief prevails, however. that with milder wealth
err, which must soon follow the extreme cold fol
Indiana, there will be general revival of bust
ness, as the markets need the grain, the
produce, the live stock, and have
the money to pay for it, and this means free1
distribution than has been experienced in many
months, The frmness in prices ofleading staples,
in spite of the light movement, is favorable
omen. Coffees, sugars, canned goods and many
other articles iu the grocery line show no weak
ening in prices. Leather Dealers hardware men
all talk of prices as firm and tending higher.
In the produce market whenever there is a mild
day trade is active. Poultry, butter, apples,
potatoes, onions, ETC., are all firm at quotations
Eggs are weaker, as they should be. Prices
quoted for two weeks past have been only nom
inal Hog products moving with more freedom
Prices frmer than ten days ago.

1t was rather an off day in the local market;
attendance on Change slim; bidding lacked

was practically no change. The Board of Trade

Cluverius's cell is on the lower tier.
and the third one from the prison-gatc
rs you enter the yard where the white
inmates are confined. He spends the
greater portion of his time in his cell,
and is seldom out in the yard when
strangers are about. When the inner
gate is closed, between the hours Of II.
and 4, he walks the yard for exercise.
He talks to the prisoners and occasion
ally jokes with them, although gene
rally he is reserved in his department.
He usually keeps in good spirits, but at
times is depressed. He buys the Dis
patch and State every day and reads
them carefully.
Cluyerius shaves twice a week
every Wednesday and Sunday. His
meals are furnished him regularly three
times . day from the outside. lie has
breakfast at 7, dinner at |, and tea at
5. Since his confinement numbers of
people have called to see him, but he
refused to see any but personal friends.
Judge Crump visited him yesterday,
and spent half hour in consultation
with him. Mrs. Tunstall, his aunt, is
Q frequent visitor. Thursday she
brought him some books to read. After
being locked up by the keeper for the
night he spends an hour or so in read
ing before retiring. The prisoners say
that he sleeps well.

Presidential State Dinners.

Though the new Executive did not tap
that keg OF whiskey sent him by an adj
mirer last fall, he is credited with the
good taste to follow the time-honored
custom Of having the most choice liquors
at State dinners. A post of honor
should certainly be given DUFFY's
PURE MALT WHIsKEY, not only on
account of its absolute purity, but be-
cause of its value in the prevention and
cure Of pneumonia, consumption, ma
iaria, pulmonary diseases, and fevers Of
all kinds incident TO the White~House

of their strength. Sold everywhere ;

IN your comment on "M's" article

3 makes 4, but do tpo and makes
anything? MAX.
Does MAX" say 80 from 10 leave
s." or 80 from 10 leaves 81? Ten
Times One is Ten" is the name oil a
famous book by an accomplished scho-
lar who. after the fullest investigation,
concluded that il would not do to en-
title his book, "Ten Times One are
Ten
Does MAX" say 100 are more than
so, or 100 is more than so? Suppose
we should say 2 and 3 are 5, and
"Max" should respond, Are it?"
We discussed this question in the
Southern Literary Messenger thirty
years ago, when DR.. BAGBY was its
editor. We cannot 90 fully into the
matter now. We will only say that in
multiplying the meaning is that the
product of 5 by 5 is Is and in addi-
ton that the sum of 5 and 5 1, 10, &c.
"Makes is not the proper word. Nor
is "make."

The Theatre.

On Monday evening will be inaugu-
rated the first OF series Of perform
ances Of the Grand Milan Italian Opera
Company. The repertoire consists OF
II Trovatore, Faust, Lucia di Lammer-
moor. The opera for Thursday, the
last night, remains still yelled in mys-
terry. In Trovatore we are to have
Romeldi, Morsi, Montegriho, Vansani,
Bologna, &C., in the cast. In Faust
Romeldi. Morsi, Glisini, Vansani,
Montegriifo, Bologna, &C., and in Lucia
di Lammermoor, Ardelli, Montegriffo,
Vansani, Bologna, &C.; but on Thurs
day who appears and what appears is not
stated.
One beauty of this company is its
uniformity, insuring a sympathetic &C
ton.
The orchestra not only includes the
usual orchestra of the Theatre, but also
the orchestra brought by the company,
and the chorus contains the full compile
ment.
We are to have the pure italian opera
in the mellihuous, sonorous language
Of sunny Italy--a language seemingly
adapted by nature for the voice OF
song.
Senior Montegrif'o has been heard be-
fore in Richmond, and all who heard
him then will assuredly give him a
hearty welcome on his reappearance.

against the City School Board Tor 100,
the amount Of rent due to date for the
building occupied by the white schools.
The three entertainments given at
