THE passage OF the Oregon Central
land grant bill should not, as it now
transpires, be taken as an indication of
the action of the senate upon other land
grant forfeiture bills. 1t appears that
the Oregon Central folks were willing
that this bill should pass, and hence the
senate took action upon 1t, and received
some credit to which it was in no way
entitled. The bill originated ia the
house, and when passed by that body
provided for q forfeiture of all the lands
granted the company. The senate amend
ment allowed the company the lands il
had earned by the construction of forty
miles of road from Portland to Forest
Lake, the present northwestern termin
us. The original grant provided for the
construction of a road through the Viii
jeanette valley from Portland to Astoria
The land granted was located upon either
side OF the Willamette river. The com
pany built its road as far as Forest LAX,
and there stopped. Beyond that poin
the country is a wild wilderness and yer!
rocky, and as the promoters of the roa'
did not think the trade of Astoria suf
fciently large TO warrant the furthe
building of the road, Forest Lake wa

Secretary Manning ana his pretty young
wife are likely to be pretty permanent
figures and their home one OF the most
elegant in official circles. They still live
at the Arlington hotel, having not been
able to obtain a house such as
is suited to their views. Mr.. Manning
is a hard worker and has his
desk in one of his rooms at the hotel. He
has seen in his successful career from
office boy up to Secretary of tn Treasury
the value of hard WORK; indeed, 1t is an alb
sOlute necessity for success, AID he is not
f forgetting this lesson now when the eyes of
the whole nation are upon him. He is
often seen at his desk late at night far into
the ''small hours" and is at it early again.
Mrs. Manning is a very handsome young
woman, ambitious as she has a perfect
right to b >, and will make her house, when
1t is selected, one of the most elegant in
Washington. Mr.. Manning is by no
means dependant upon his salary and the
Manning home, when it is selected, will
no doubt be quite worthy of the Secretary
Of the Treasury of the greatest nation of
the civilized world.
Postmaster General Villas has not yet
reached any determination regarding his
residence. Mrs. Villas will not come here
permanently until fall, so nothing definite
is yet arranged about their home. Mean
while Col. Villas still lives at the Ebbitt
House and wreetles far into the night
with the duties Of his position. His room
is a workshop; there is a table always
filled with papers and at the side Of
the room a desk where he sits and writes.
He has the most laborious of all the
Cabinet positions, and he, like others Of
the Cabinet who have brought their own
success by their own exertiOns, realizes
the importance of hard work. IL is no
uncommon thing for him TO be at the cffice
before O'Clock, and he seldom leaves I'M
til long after the hour for closing, and
while the subordinates of the department
are dining with their families or taking
the air in pleasant drives about the city
he is still at his desk in Office or at home
with his nose still on the official grind
stone.
Secretary Lamar's habits are somewhat
different from those of his Cabinet CON-
paniOns. He is a good deal of student
and is inclined TO give most OF his time
outside of Office hours 10 literary pursuits.
He has not decided about his home yet as
a member of the Cabinet. His daughter
will be with him aud will form a member
OF very interesting group of Cabinet
young ladies, there being no less than five
of the Cabinet members who are blessed
with daughters OF such age as to assist in
the social duties accompanying their
positio AUSTIN.

LADIES OF THE CABINET.
BAYARD'S BEAUTIFUL FAMILY
AND THEIR HOME.

The Daughter Who viii Preside in Her
Mothers Stead-Mrs. EndicOtt and
Her Palatial Surroundings-Secre
Manning's Bride and His Own Hard
Work.
WASHINGTON, May IA good deal
has been told about the new Cabinet as it
looks in public, why not something about
its home life and those who help its men,
bers by their home infuencesy The home
life and surroundings of the Cabinet Off
Ger is very important factor of his sue
cess. Whether or not he is popular here
in Washington depends much on this fea-
ture, and his popularity here means, in
most cases, his popularity throughout
the country. The power to mold public
opinion through the influences which
the capital city affords is very great.
Letus run over the list of Cabinet off
GERS and see what their homes are and
are 10 be so far as is yet known. Only a
portion of the Cabinet members are yet
''settled" or have finally decided as to
what is to be their home for the time of
their stay. Several are yet at the hotels,
some will not bring their families here
permanently until the autumn. Others,
however, are located perm anently, and
their habits are sufficiently fixed to make
it possible to tell something OF them IN
detail.
Take Secretary Bayard, for instance.
He has lived in that same old drab painted
brick house on Massachusetts avenue for
years, and will, it IS supposed, remain
there during the term Of his service in the
Cabinet. His house is not large one,
vet he finds room in il for no less than nine
children, for his family is very large one.
Mr. Bayard has been blessed with twelve
children, though but nine of the number
are now living. One Of these, the eldest
daughter, was married couple of years
agO. The others are at home or scattered
about at schools not far away. Mr..
Bayard is very much attached to his
home and his family. Hespends a much
of his time at home as possible. There is
not much more room IN his house than is
needed; for, with a family of nine chill
dren, Mr.. and Mrs. Bayard, the neces-
sary number of servants and employees,
and the ccnveniences for the social duties
of his station, pretty large house Is re-
quired. Then, too, the Secretary has a
desk at his house at which ne does a good
deal of work outside of the regular hours.
He is finding the duties of his Office less
laborious than those OF some others of
the Cabinet officers, but sufficiently
so t. make it necessary that he gives
some time outside of office hours TO this
work The desk is located in his library,
and at 1t the Secretary may often be found
up to late hours at night. More OF his
time and that OF his family are now given
20 social duties than ever before. The
family have always been rather exclusive,
SO that while they have been long time
here, Washington society has seen COM
paratively little Of them. Now, however,
ranptrpfgiun tho Hnfiac Df hfg nAcifipn a
head of the State Department, the doors
of the Bayard mansion are opened much
more frequently. There is nothing elabo-
rate about the house. Its hall is rather
dark, its parlors rather narrow, the fur
nishings rather plain.

For many years 1 have been troubled with
a scrofulous affection. Nv right leg was
covered with sores from the hip to the ankle
some of them large and painful-running a
great deal. tried everything / could think
Of or friends could suggest. The physicians
did what they could, but brought no perma-
nent relief. My case was well known in the
comm nifty, as well as the fearful sufferings |
endured. Last fall, at the suggestion of a
friend, began the use Of Swift's Specific. 1t
produced a change so apparent that it aston
ished everybody, as one ulcer after another
disappeared, and none were more astonished
than myself. Six bottles produced an entire
cure. My restoration is due entirely to the
use Of this medicine. 1t is the best blood
purifier in the world, and will come nearer
doing what is claimed for it than any other
medicine l have ever tried.

Paul Holman and the venezuelan
diplomat occurred last winter.
Secretary EndicOtt is to have one OF the
finest residences OF the city, PROBABLY the
finest of any of the Cabinet. lie has taken
the Pendleton residence for the CaolneC
term. IL is a large and handsome mouse
on Sixteenth street near Scots circle, the
fashionable residence locality Of the city.
Don Cameron's residence is just along
side, while that of ex-Secretary RObes0n Is
on the other side, so that if he needs any
Republican advice about his duties IL
will be easy TO get it. Ihere
is a broad lawn between the PendletoI1
and Robson residences, which is ueVoteo
to the noble game OF lawn tennis, anu
there the younger members OF me lahlIeo
will enjoy themselves while the parents
wrestle with state questions. The Pen
dleton residence is one of the hands0mesI
IN the city. 1t is of pressed brick, ike
most of the Washington houses, Jour
stories IN height, windows OF stained
glass, and handsomely finished and Iui-
nished within. 1t has broad halls, an
ample dining-rOom, elegant parl0rs, a n1e
library, and all the conveniences OF
first-class residence, built with the special
thought of entertaining. Secretary ana
Mrs. EndicOtt,. will be, it Is expected,
prominent figures in the social life or
Washington and their home one OF the
most elegant. Mrs. Endicott is a handsome
and accomplished lady of long experience
in society, while the Secretary will be by
no means dependent upon the meager
salary attached to his position to make
his home attractive. Mr.. Endicott is not
especially affected with an affection for
hard work, though he will probably find
it necessary to have desk at his house
and occasionally despatch some business
there. The War Department is not, as
rule, one which drives it's head to despera-
ton with its pressure of duties.
The Attorney General has very modest
home on Connecticut avenue, the swell
residence street OF the city. His mother
pTesides over it, and insists on retaining IN
its parlors the furnishings brought from
their Arkansas home. She has great
affection for the State which has so often
hOnOred her son and for their old home
there, and she delights in the reminders
of it which were brought with them. 30
she keeps at least one room in the modest
home OF the Attorney General furnished
with these furnishings. 1t is the Ar
kansas roOm-the one with the most
pleasant memories to her. The Attorney
General is a fairly hard worker and finds
it necessary to give some time at his home
to the duties Of his Office.
