DEPT OF THE POTOMAC.
Condition Of the GAR. in Washington-Camp
fires Burning Brightly.

In no part Of the United States is there more
interest taken in the Grand Army than here
in the City of Washington. Between 5000
and 5000 veterans are employed in the various
Departments,-not nearly so many, by the way,
as there would be if the letter and Spirit Of the
laws were properly regarded,-and as rule
they are men of fine military records. Among
them are a very large proportion who have lost
a limb on the field of battle, and exceptional
service has in nearly every case been the means
by which they have secured the places they
hold. Naturally, in such a community, esprit
de corps reaches its highest point, and there is
an affection for those who served honorably,
true appreciation of what real military service
means, and a zeal in GAR. matters, such as
can hardly be found anywhere else.
The Commander of the Department is Col
D. 8. Alexander, who holds the responsible
position of Fifth Auditor of the Treasury. He
is man Of fine executive ability as his posi-
ton in the Treasury Department would imply,
and besides this has rare gifts as an orator.
His administration has been a decided success,
and there is strong regret that it is approach
ing so near its close. Among other features
instituted by Col. Alexander is that of stated
vistations to all the Posts in the city by him.
self and staff One of these was made last Fri
day night to Rawlins Post No. /. which is
one of the very oldest Posts in the country.
There was a large attendance and much inter-
est manifested. Col. Alexander made very
happy speech, in which he alluded to the pros
perity of the Order in the past, and mapped
out what seemed to him the best policy for the
future. He spoke of the necessity of unity and
among the comrades to meet what
ever emergency might arise from the change of
ad ministration.
Hewas followed by Post Commander Brooks,
who made very spirited address, in which he
expressed his firm belief that. come what may,
no comrade viii ever by word or act give an
impression that he was other than in the high
est degree proud of his Grand Army badge.
Past Department Commander Burictt also
made very brilliant and spirited speech,
which was loudly applauded. He was followed
by others until the hour when the Commander
and his staff took their leave Of the Post.

A Jealous Girl Spells Her Rivals Eyes.

Susan Twomey and Florence Miner, two
pretty girls living at the village of Preston,
Conn, have for some time been rivals for the
affections of rural dude named Corning, and
one day last week their rivalry cultivated in
an act which may place one Of the young dam
sells in the penitentiary. 1t appears that Susan
was the successful claimant, and led in the race
of love- losing no opportunity to faunt her tri-
umph before the girl who got left" On the
evening in question Miss Twomey went to the
home of Miss Miner and grinned through the
parlor window at her rival, who was entertaining
a number of bucoic beaus within. This was the
last feather, and Florence in fit Of rage seized
a bottle of creosote which stood on the mantle
and dashed it into the eyes of the tantalizing
Susan, who reused the whole village with her
screams Of agony. The injured girl received
medical aid promptly, but it is yet doubtful
whether she will ever see again or not. Flor
ence was Immediately arrested, and being un-
conscious of the gravity of the offense, which
in Connecticut is punishable with imprison-
ment for not less than seven nor more than 10
years, she treated the matter very much in the
light Of joke. The accused was held in 81 900
bail to answer before the next term of the
Supreme Court. Her father furnished bail.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
The Weekly Collection About the Ma

DEPRESSION IN CABINET MAKING.

The mast week has been marked by an alarm
ing stagnation in the hitherto active business
of making Cabinets for the President-elect.
The people who could name the errtire seven
of the staff Of the new Executive with the
greatest confidence have become much fewer In
number and the confidence of the remainder is
Lot so iron -hooped and double-cleated as it was.
l;either do the groups in the hotel listen with
50 much eagcrness to the gentleman Just from
Albany" or who has seen another gentleman
directly from that political Mecca. The latest
advices from Albany are that MIR. Cleveland
follows PoloRigsS advice to
"Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice"
He is an admirable listener, while his talent for
holding his tongue is unsurpassed. ConSe-
ouently his silence has been too often mistaken
for consent by ardent partisans of Political
Chieftains.
This does not explain it all, however: for the
mercury has fallen Just as rapidly for the lead
ers rs for the followers. A week ago Senator
Bayard felt that he could say in quiet way
that he could take his choice between the State
and Treasury Departments. To-day he is not
at all sure that place in the Cabinet has been
or will be offered him. Senator Garland, of
Arkansas, was equally sure of place; Whit
ney, of New York, was doubtful whether he
would like best the Attorney -Generalship or the
War Office; while it was regarded as well set
tied that Mcdonald, of Indiana, could have the
Interior Department if he did not desire some
other place. To-day McDonald's chances of
getting into the Cabinet at all are regarded as
so dubious that Senator Voorhees, and delega-
ton of Indianaiaus are on the point of starting
TO visit Mr. Cleveland in order to put little
pressure on him in favor Of Hard Money Joe."
sUPERsTTTIoUs POLITICIANS.
Politicians are like gamblers in their belief
in "luck" and chances" and sequences"
The older politician gets the more supersti-
tious he becQmes as a rule. Part of the sudden
decline in the Cabinet-aspirants' stock is said
TO be due to their own chill over remark by
Samuel Randall that no Cabinet officer had
been elected President for 80 years. AS every
one of those who expect TO go into the Cabi-
net also expect TO be elected President in 1855,
this gave them an ague fit. Cabinet positions
were not SO desirable things after all. Since
the organization of the Government We have

To THE EDITOR Being constant reader Of
your splendid paper, and seeing therein 80
many names and incidents familiar to me as a
soldier, and also reading the sketches of those
who were SO fortunate as to escape from that
living tomb known as AndersonvilIe. I have
concluded TO send another sketch of the pecu-
liar life of its inmates, and to establish my
identity as one Of the few who lived to tell the
tale. l claim to have been among the first to
enter Andersonville, being in the first squad,
in the last Of February, 1862, and was encamp-
ed south of w. G. Malin, Co. L, 18th Ohio, and
would say to him that the stockade was not
finished at the time we arrived at the prison.
l remember w. G. Malin WELL and will try
and relate little incident that happened to
one known as the Michigan Sergeant when his
pipe was captured by few members of that
party known as the raiders. The weather be-
ing warm the Sergeant bethought himself to
enjoy his pipe and take stroll in his undress
uniform, .. e., drawers and undershirt. He had
gone but little way up the main avenue be-
stantiy made for the pipe. In the scrimmage
the Sergeant was knocked down, but managed
to escape from the raiders with the lost of the
buttons of his uniform. He now made lively

Sergeant. He slept out so vigorously that ere
he reached the alley that led to our camp the
two parts of the pants had parted company and
We're doing business on their own hook. AS he
reached the alley that lay between our camps
he was overtaken by the raiders and again
knocked down. While the raiders were en-
gagged in paying their respects to the Sergeant,
Ross Reed, of Co. l, S7th H., took hand in
the scrimmage, and although under disadvan-
tage gave the raiders the best he had. While
this part OF the fight was going on the Sergeant
managed to crawl out and, without bidding
any one good-by, lit out and left the whole
business on Reeds bands. Reed, finding him
self alone, called out for Tom Lawless, of the
same regiment, who waltzed right up to the
scratch, but finding himself in the minority
he called for John Sims, same regiment. Sims
came at the call, and as he made an appear
ance the raiders started for him and said:
"And this is the man Sims, is It'll" As they
came on Sims began to back from them, and
cried out: See here! See here |" He then
turned and ran into the tent occupied by Wm
Coart, and, running or crawling through it,
butted the board OFF the back end, and ended
the battle by getting away. During this time
