Gossip from tho Capital.

"Carp" the Washington correspondent, Of the
Cleveland Leader never fails to furnish bit of
entertaining gossip from the capital Here is
one of his latest "reminiscences:
President Arthur has good carriages, and his
turnouts, will compare favorably with those
Of any of his predecessors. A look at the one

Of John Tyler, who it will be remembered, got
to the White House through the death Of .
president elected by the people Tyler was
very fond of fine turnout, but his pocket was
not deep enough to correspond with his tastes
One day one Of the leading members Of the
diplomatic circle was recalled from Washing
ton, and his magnificent establishment had to
be sold. An important part Of this was his
carriage, which was at the time the finest by
all odds in Washington. Tyler had looked q
it many times with longing eyes as it's owner
had driven up and down Pennsylvania avenue,
and as it had stood now and then in front OF
the White House. He feared, however, the
criticism which was sure to attend the buying
of anything by the president at auction, and
called his coachman, with whom he was fam
iliar, to advise with him in regard to it, The
coachman liked the carriage and was anxious
that Mr.. Tyler should buy it "But Pat" said
Tyler, "w6at will the world say at the pres:
idents riding in . secondhand carriage?'
''Och! your honor" was the reply, "they will
say nothing about it at all, at all You know

mind from brooding overmuch on tho tragic
Nile catastrophe In military circles the ac-
tivity and excitement are immense. Outlying
regiments are coming in to form heavy gar

brings the fact Of the vastness Of the enterprise
