Too steen a Rent.


Here is a story that has been told me
illustrating at once the saturine humoI
of a Cabinet officer and the prevalence OF
high rents in Washington during ''the
season." A LADY eminent in the social
and literary world. ami VINO has Just III
ished a fine house said TO be from her own
designs, in swell locality, heard that
Secretary Lamar was in search of resi-,
dence. AS she proposes to be absent
from the city during the winter she asked
him to call and look at her new house
The fine old Southern gentleman Of the
long name and name came accordingly
and was entertained by his hostess with
an exhaustive enumeration of the beau
ties and advantages of the building and
location. AT last, taking long breath,
she said:
''And. now, Mr.. Lamar, you will be sur.
prised, am sure, when / tell you the rent
Will be only s. per year."
But the fine old Roman, who had sat In
one Of his characteristic reVeries during
the entire eloquent recital, remained with
head on breast and eyes on floor.
"DO you think the rent too lIttle? per.
sisted his fair hostess.
"NO. madam" observed the Secretary
at length returning from dreamland; al
was only wondering what could do with
the other $500 OF my salary"

the great body of patriotic citizens of all
political parties, General Grant, as the

opposed the retirement bill were surely
not in sympathy with the governing SEN

on the ground that it would throw upon
the president the necessity of veto, or
else the reversal of position he took in
one of his messages to congress, in which
he insisted on the presidential right Of

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.


Forty-Eight Hours in Pit Full Of snow.
DUBUQUE, Iowa, Feb. 2l.-Mr. August
Albright, miner Of this county, tells re-
markable experience which occurred to
him two days ago while walking in
the direction Of his mine through the
deep snow. He accidently stepped
on the mouth of an abandoned shaft, which
was hidden by the snow He fell distance
Of thirty-fve feet There was aIso few
feet Of snow at the bottom, SO that his fall
did not injure him badly. He yelled Tor
hours for assistance, but none came. He
passed the night-one OF the coolest of the
season-there, and at day break resumed the
cries. Daring the morning some wood
choppers 6 considerable distance away heard
him, but, unable 10 locate the source
Of the sound, were unable Co dis
cover him. He passed the second night
in that same position with the same
results, except that he was weak from
hunger and cold. The next day the wood
choppers returned and fortunately passed
near the shaft, being thus directed 10 the
source of the cries They discovered him
and at once placed ladders into the nine
and rescued him. He is again in good
health and spirits.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2l-The Journals special
from New YORK says: When, some time
ago, reports came from Albany asserting ths
likelihood of Mr.. Aoram Hewitt's appoint
ment to the Treasury Nj Samuel J. Ran
dali went to Graystone and consulted MI
TliJen as to the best way to prevent 1t.
This conference, at which Randall suggested
that Manning's name lie presented to the
president iu the proper GIT, resulted in
calling Mr.. Manning from Albany to Mr.
Tiien's Preside, and Manning, in turn
joined with Randall in securing CIev5iandc
presence at the same. 1t is sail that MIR
Manning urged Whitney's appointment,
and has continued to do 50 up to the present
hour, although Mr.. Whitney, who is in Al
bany, is as earnestly favoring Manning's
selection. This is the real story Of the latter
day prominence in which Mauniay's name
has been associated with the trea -ury port

It Is claimed that Senator Rayar5'S sec
end visit TO Albany was desired by the pros
ident-eiect that he might discuss with him
the views that mad been pre- ented in favor
Of Mr. Manning 1t is sand that not only
