hundred applicants for passes were
received. 1t is an awful climb, but
many ladies undertake it. Two or

Correspondence of the Beacon

Messrs. Editors Since the depar-
ture of the President and Mrs. Cleve-
land upon their Adirondack trip the
White House has been thoroughly
renovated, and the exterior of the
building treated to fresh coat of
paint. The decorations in the East
Room have been completed, and every
thing is in readiness for putting down
the carpets and arranging the furni-
ture. The private apartments through
out the mansion have been recarpeted,
and in many instances refurnished.
Everything about the premises has
been frightened up, and the building
will soon be ready for occupancy.
The recent earthquakes in South
Carolina continue to afford the prin-
cipal topic Of discussion, and the evil
dence of sympathy felt by the good
people of the National Capital for
their afflicted neighbors in Charleston
has been shown in far more substan-
tal manner than in an idle exchange
of words. Not only has the rule pro-
hibiting the collecting of subscriptions
in the several Government Depart
ments been set aside and declared in
operative in this case, but the Chiefs
of Divisions and others in charge OF
bureaus and rooms have provided
themselves with subscription papers
for circulation among the employees
under their immediate charge. Clerks
throughout the departments have re.
sponded most literally to these invi.
tations to subscribe, and a very hand.
some sum of money has been forward
ed the relief committee in Charles
ton.
The Corcoran Art Gallery which has
been closed to the public during the
summer has been reopened, and is
more attractive than ever. A marked
improvement has been made in the
hall of sculpture by the removal of
the drapery which formerly shrouded
the walls, and substitution of rich
maroon tint ofpaint. Several pictures
are being negotiated for by the trus-
tees, and the probabilities are that the
gallery will be enriched by the adj
dition of some very valuable paint.
ings during the winter.
Work in the departments is pro.
crossing in an entirely satisfactory
manner, notwithstanding the fact that
many of the chiefs are absent. Claims
appropriated for during the past ses-
sion of Congress are being rapidly dis.
posed Of, and the Alabama claims
have nearly all been adjusted, and
the warrants for the entire 8, 1000 claims
have been signed, and force of clerks
in the Treasury is working night and
day upon the drafts which will soon
be issued.
The shooting of Col. Ellsworth by
Capt James jackson on the Oath day
Of May, 1861, while in the act Of re-
moving the Confederate flag from the
Marshall House in Alexandria, will
be remembered as one of the events
which attracted SO much attention at
the opening of the war. This incident
has been recalled by the recent APP
pointment of Miss Amelia jackson,
the daughter of Capt. Jackson, to a
position in the Patent Office. Lieut..
Brownell, ofCol. Ellsworth command,
and who SO promptly avenged his
death, has for several years past been
a special examiner in the Pension Of

THE WHITE.

Al improved hig arm Sewing Machine,
The advantage of a high arm, admitting
the passage under it Of bulky garments
without mussing or soiling the competing
by them, is too veil known to require des-
criptiOn.
1t will last a life time and its range of
work exceeds that of ANY other machine.
WARRANTED FOR FIVE YEARS
Among the many advantages OF the
White machine are its needle, self-setting in
every sense ofthe word-always right
II has the least complicated, the most
simple, durable and complete shuttle ever
made, simplicity in threading being an es-
pecial feature. The shuttle tension is so
arranged that you can increase 1t or de-
crease it without removing the shuttle from
the machine or disaranging the work.
All wearing parts of the White are made
adjustable, so that any lost motion incident
to long usage can be easily taken up, thus
avoiding the delay and expense in duplica-
ting parts, The simplicity in threading the
White is unequaled by any other machine,
and we would particularly call attention
to the fact in either the upper or lower
thread, there is no hole to thread through
excepting the eye of the needle.
For Family Use, Dress Making, Tailor
ing, the White is without a peer.

Senator German WIS in the city looking
after certain de parttnent matters which
he desired to arrange preparatory to going
away on his summer vacation. Mr.. Cor
man tells the 70 lowing story on himself:
For many years he has been a sufferer
from regular attacks of neuralgia. On
some occasions he has been confined to his
home n day or two, so intense was the
pain. An old lady friend once called npon
him while he was suffering from one of
his attacks. she displayed so much sym
patty that she almost forgot to name the
request she had to mnke-but she hid not
Upon learning that the senator was
troubled with neuralgia she volunteered
to give him an infallible remedy, PROV .ded
he would promise not TO laugh at her or
accuse her of being n believer in conjura-
ton, spells, etc. The senator, in n good
natured way, informed her that he WA
under treatment Of an eminent physician
who sometimes afforded him temporary
relief. The old lady finally prevailed
upon the senator to give her remedy a fair
trial, whereupon she suggested that he
should get an ordinary nutmeg. such as

tions, and in a few hours felt greatly re-
lieved. He has worn the nutmeg ever
since and Is seldom troubled with neural

on the subject, and they state that the
nutmeg possesses certain virtues which
may have effect on neuralgia pains. -Bal

There is a practically unknown world
the other side the microscopic wonder
land" even more wonderful than Alice
found Through the Looking. Glass"
Among the most useful and important of
the discoveries to be therein made are
those which will be found in studying the
life histories Of the organisms which are
familiarity typifled by brewers yeast. Lit
tie, for example, is yet definitely known
about the fungus called the sginger- beer
plant" II Is a cellu ar vegetable body
similar 10 some other low forms of fungi
such as the yeast and vinegar plants, but
apparently distinct from them. 1t Is re
garded as an Immature form of some
species which, when paced in the sugar
and water mixture usually employed in
the manufacture of ginger beer, is unde
unnatural conditions and cannot develop
its normal characters. 1t has been
thought hat ground ginger Is beneficial
to the growth of the fungus, which then
decompo-rs the sugar more rapidly. 1t
grows best in a rather warm place and
not exposed TO too much light.
The vinegar plant will form naturally il
n mixture of sugar and water be placed In
large jugs covered with pieces of muslin
and stood in a place exposed to the sun.
1t is probable TINT the real agent, even
when the vinegar plant (Mycoderma acetD
is present, is the BacterIum aceti of Zopf,
while the ginger-beer plant is the Saccha-
romyces ~mycoderma, which is found in
one or other OF its forms oil fermented
fluids, %sauerkraut, fruitjuices, and beer
and wine. This fungus has several names
and many forms, though the mold is dis
tinguished from the true yeast fungus.
Tit so-called ginger beer plant probably

A DEMOCRATIC DELEGATE.

In order to secure in any convention a
fair representation of the popular will the
first requisite is the selection of good and
true men as delegates. Where no candi-
dates have been announced and the dele
gates must necessarily act without instruc-
,ions and largely on their own Judgment,
choice should undoubtedly be made of
men conversant with the political affair."
of the territory, earnest in their party
convictions and willing to sacrifice per-
sonal preferences, if need be, to secure
success. The deliberate selection of a
candidate by n convention composed of
such men would be an Endorsement not
only Of his qualifications but of the ac-
ceptable character of the nomination, and
would operate almost as an assurance of
success. 1t is also important, as far as
possible, to elect delegates who will in
person discharge the duty for which they
hall have been chosen, and where such
attendance is from any cause i'm
possible the proxy-if proxies are
admitted-should be giver to some
delegate who can attend, or at
least to one who shall posses the conf
dencc of the people he thus assumes to
represent. 1t is believed by close and un
%prejudiced observers that the Democracy
can elect the territorial delegate if a thor
oughly qualified and generally popular
candidate shall be nominated for the place,
and if the election can be kept moderately
free from the %corrupting influence of
money. The recommendation If the
committee, carefully carried out, would
have a restraining tendency upon the dis
position to resort to such means by limit
ing the uses of money to legitimate pur-
poses. An advantage which the party
has not heretofore enjoyed and which
must have great weight with the non
partisan voter, consists in the fact that n
Democrat, other considerations being
equ i, must possess greater influence
in a Democratic house. and with n
Democratic administration, than a Repub-
lican could reasonably expect to exert.
The material interests of the territory
would therefore be promoted by the cleo
ton of a Democrat, and no other kind of
interest is at stake Just now. Let a Re-
publican delegate be as able and willing as
it IS possible for man to be, he would yet
experience serious Inconvenience in his
cndeavors to accomplish practically bene-
fetal results. 1t is likely that whatever
he would be able to secure. would be
granted in any event and without need of
effort. In strong cases presented by citi-
lens, without the intervention of a dele
gate, neither the administration nor con.
gress would refuse to attend to the wants
ii any portion of the people, bat there
are cases in which the need is not so APP
parent at Washington, which yet involve
extensive interests highly important to the
territory. For the successful advocacy of
these, it would certainly he advantageous
10 elect a Democratic delegate,
