What Cured Him.

A well-known eX-member of Con-
gross, noted for his devotion to the fair
sex, writes the Washington correspond
ent of the New York World, entered
the House wing of the Capitol the other
day. No hunter of difficult game can
discern his prey at greater distance
than can this member pretty woman.
A floating ringlet in the dim distance,
the flash of a pair of lovely eyes, the
simplest suggestion of fair woman
rivets his attention instantly. No set
ter dog ever ''points" with more rapid
ity or accuracy than the ex-member
when he scents the presence of lovely
woman. saw the ex-member ''point
the very instant he entered the Capitol.
Following the direction of his ardent
gaze, say slim-tigured blonde young
woman, dressed in snug suit of black,
with jaunty hat perched high upon
her we'll poised head, back from which
trailed a long black veil. She was
leaning upon the arm of a gray-beard-
ed, severe looking old man.
The ex-member recognized the old
man and dashed up to him. He wrung
his hand in perfect passion of friend
ship, as he gazed over his shoulder
right into the blue, blue eyes of the
blonde. blonde gil.
"Permit me to present you,' said
the old man.
The ex-member placed his hand on
his heart and bowed bow the like of
which is rarely seen upon this or any
other stage Into it he blended the
most remarkable curves of admiration
and profound respect for the fair Great
ure.
She received him with great effusive-
ness, but in moment a shower bath
descended upon his raptures.
Said the old man: ''Miss Blank is
taking subscriptions for Gen. logan's
book" (etc., etc., for five minutes).
The ox-member, who is an extreme
Democrat and disikes Logan, was
caught and landed one minute later.
He paid over the subscription, and for
the rest of the day did not look at a
pretty woman,

THE BAYARD HOUSE. GARLAND 8 HOUSE.
Mr.. Bayard, the Secretary of State,
lives in a modest house, two stories and
a mansard high above a very good
basement. 1t is plain red brick with
a porch in front. The rooms in the
house are not very large. Space is
gained by the depth, as the house runs
back nearly eighty feet. The front is
not over twenty-eight feet. 1t is stu
ated upon a high terrace, just around
from the circle where Wards statue of
Gen. Thomes stands. This terrace is
known as Highland Terrace. The
houses built along its line are at least
fifty feet above the level of the street.
The carriage drive to it is up very
steep incline, and when you are at the
very gate you have to climb up steps
corresponding to those going to the
second floor of a house, before you
reach the porch. 1t is next to the old
house in which Senator Edmunds so
long lived. Justice Miller lives at the
right of Mr.. Bayard. At the end of
the row towards Fourteenth street is
the old house built by Crawford when
he was Secretary of the Treasury, This
house is still in good condition. It
was occupied by Marshall Jewell when
he was in Grants cabinet. Around
this circle are number of well-known
houses. The great square house of
Judge Wylie is ono of the oldest in the
neighborhood. Senator Morrill,. of
Vermont, has very handsome house
on this circle. FOur or five steps down
Massachusetts avenue, east from Four
teenth street, Robert Lincoln lived
when he was Secretary OF War. A few
doors below where Robert Lincoln
lived is Attorney-General Garland's
house. Two houses down M street
which comes into this CIRCLE vse]lss99.
the Postmaster Directly south
of the circle and abutting upon it is the
celebrated Portland flats, where Mr..
Lamar lives. Four members of the
Cabinet live within base ball toss OF
each other.

The question of how long time
may elapse from the death Of his wife
heforea man can marry again with
propriety is abou: to come before a
Philadelphia court for solution. It ap-
pears that Mr.. Louis Wolf took unto
himself q second partner of his joys
and sorrows within five days after the
demise of the first Mrs. Wolf. The
hasty marriage excited the indignation
of his brethren in the Rappaport Lodge
of the Free Sons Of Israel, who thought
that he was using his freedom in rather
too loose manner, and threatened him
with expulsion. Mr.. Wolf has therefore
filed bill in equity against the lodge
to restrain it from expelliDg him. He
alleges that bis SECOND marriage was
consummated solely out of his concern
for his several small children, who
stood in pressing need of stepmother
He might have given the Irishman's
reason also. that his first wife was as
dead as she would ever be, but he neg
lected this. The case will give the
Philadelphia lawyers something new
to argue about. - .

POSTMASTER GENERAL Villas HOUSE.
Postmaster General Villas lives in q
very large double front brick house
just off from the Thomas Circle, upon
NJ. street. 1t belongs to the earlier
style of architecture, when the first
improvements were begun in Washing
ton under Boss Shepherd. The: brick
work is not very good. The front is a
very light red. while the house is trim
med with white stone around the top
of the windows and the doors. The
style of the architecture is cheap. The
house is much better inside. The rooms
are large, well ventilated and comfort
able. 1t is also well furnished, II can
accommodate quite large crowd for
entertainments.

SECRETARY MANNING's HOUSE.

SECRETARY MANNING's HOUSE.
The house in which Mr.. Manning,
Secretary of the Treasury, has so re-
Gently been i'll, and which claims him
still as an invalid, is not over five min
utes walk from Mr.. Bayard's. and is
on the same avenue. The Otis Bige.
low house, which is the one occupied by
Mr.. Manning, fronts on Massachusetts
avenue and runs through to P street. Mr..
Manning is within two squares of Mr..
Jordan, the Treasurer, who occupies
the house at the corner of Sixteenth
and P streets. The house occupied by
Mr.. Manning is one of the largest
and one of the most expensive resi-
denccs built in accordance with
modern architectural ideas in the city.
Its tnrrets and towers give the ap-
pearanee of castle at distance.
The front has deep-set balconies
shaded by heavy arches supported by
substantial pillars. Over all of the
windows and doors are a great variety
of designs of stained glass. The front
of the house does not give fair idea of
the magnitude of the building. 1t
stretches back through the entire block
in an irregular, thoroughly artistic
way. The large stables attached to
the house face on the street in the
rear. This house is just one block
from the British Legation and is
diagonallJ across the corner from the
large and imposing house occupied by
Senator Van WycR, the Nebraska Sem
ator. MIR. Manning's place is also one
block from Dupont Circle, upon which
face Castle Stewart, Mr.. Blaine's
house, now occupied by Mr.. Letter, of
Chicago, retired dry-goods merchant;
the row in which the house formerly
occupied by Sam Cox stands and tie
great house of Mr.. Hubbard. the hacker
Of the Bell telephone. Within two
blocks of Castle Stewart is Senator
Edmunds's new house. 1t is around
this circle that some of the best build
ing is being done. Ten years ago land
in this peighborhood was worth from
Is to 90 cents foot. 4. Land about
there now is held from 81 to IS foot.
This remarkable increase in value is
fair indication of the enormous change
in property values which have taken
place in the NORTHWESTERN part Of
Washington The period just
named.

THE REAL AND THE IDEAL.

O, visions of salmon tremendous,
OF trout Of unusual weight,
OF waters that wander as Ken does;
Ye come through the ivory gatel
But the skies that bring never spare,
Bnt the flies that catch up in thorn,
But the creel that is barren of freight,
Through the portals Of horn!
O, dreams of the fate that attend us
With prints in the earliest state;
O, bargains in books that they send us,
Ye come through the ivory gate!
But the tone Of dubious date,
But the quarto that's battered and torn,
And bereft of title or date,
Through the portals of horn!
o, dreams of the tongues that commend US
OF crowns for the laureate pate
OF public to buy and befriend us,
Ye come through the ivory gate!
But the critics that slash us and slate,
But the people that hold us in scorn,
But the sorrow, the seattle, and the hate
Through the portals of horn
ENVOY.
Fair dreams of things golden and great,
Ye come through the ivory gate;
But tie facts that are bleak and forlorn
Through the portals of horn!

SECRETARY ENDICOTT' HOUSE.
Mr. Endicott. the Secretary of War,
occupies house halfway between MIR.
Bayard's and Mr.. Mannipg's. Il is
on Sixteenth street, within half block
of Scott Circle. It is the next house to
the corner one, which was so long oc-
cupied by Senator Don Cameron. Sen
ator Don Cameron built himself a
house about five years ago, The house
and lot cost him $4,000: He sold it
this year to Mrs. D. P. Morgan. of
New York, for 100000. He has had
the use of it for five years, and in that
short time has doubled his investment.
The house occupied by Mr.. Endicott is
the property of Minister Pendleton.
He rented it furnished. 1t is an old
house in its architecture and is rich
red in all of its outside colors and trim
mings. Even the window blinds are
red. 1t is one of the best known and
one of the most popular houses in
Washington ON account of the lavish
entertainments given there by the Pen=
dletons. just across the street from
this house is the Window house, which
was occupied by the Diaines during
their last residence in Washington.

THE PALMER HOUSE.

Tho Wolverine Senator secured q
site for his palace upon K street, facing
Mcpherson square. 1t has front of
brown-stone and is four stories above
the basement. 1t was planned by
Emerson, of New York, cost in the
neighborhood of 100000. It is very
deliberately finished inside in hard
woods. The house contains nine bath
rooms. Every bedroom has it's own
bathroom. Senator Palmer is a very
rich man and can well afford to build
such house. He4sas always said that
he was not anxious to remain in public
life, but tho: building of this very
elaborate and solid house looks very
much as if he expected to remain in
Washington.
Mower County transcript. [volume] (Lansing, Minn.) 1868-1915, 1886-05-26

is q style of house which viii be appre-
.ciated by Senators and members.
The basement is divided into q large
Office and an ante-room, SO that busi-
mess callers upon Mr.. Edmunds can
see him without entering his house.
The second floor is really the first
floor of the house. The wine-room Is
also next to the Office, while the kitch-
en- is in the back part of the house. It
is model house in every way, and is
in keeping with the Senator's means
and business.

It is an old and true remark that one
half of tho world does not know how
the other half live, and of the millions
that have never happened to secure an
opportunity to pay visit to the capital
city of the United States, very few in
deed have any practical idea of the
methods of life there. TO furnish some
information upon q point in which all
have an interest, and many, if not all,
are more or less curious, the following IL
Illustrations are given, with appropriate
descriptions filing in some part at least,
the place of a visit to center of inter-
est to which all eyes are turned. 1t has
come to be regarded sort of require
ment of official life that members of the
Cabinet must keep house, and not re-
side in apartments or hotels and board
ing houses, for the purposes of recep-
lions and calls of formal state and So
cial life, and Senators too, have fallen in
to the notion that they can better serve
their State if living in houses of their
own. 1t is more dignified than hotel
life, and SO perhaps majority of the
members of the Senate, live in houses
of their own. or in rented houses.

ACCORDING to the New OaleaDs States,
it is now "The Sweet Liar of Illinois" !"
The story which has conferred upon the
Huckster State an honor hitherto mon
opolized by Georgia, is as follows: A
farmer left a number of milk cans by
The side of the road for short time,
while he stepped over into an adjoining
field to talk with a neighbor. A musk
rat happened to see the cans. and, paw
ing the lid off of one of them, crawled in
and proceeded to feast himself to his
hearts content. After drinking the
milk until its sides became inflated like
a toy balloon, the muskrat discovered to
its horror that it could not get out of
the can, and commenced frantically
jumping and Smashing its fat tail until
the milk was churned to butter The
butter adhered to the fur of the rat, and
formed ball of sufficient thickness to
smother the animal. On his return to
his milk can the farmer was greatly sur
prised as we'll as puzzled to find large
lump of bright yellow butter in it, and

A GOOD story is told on young recruit
who recently enlisted at Camp Hancock,
near Atlanta. The young fellow joined
the army while the country was threat>
ening war with Mexico. and he intended
making good soldier. One day he was
on guard duty and was slowly stepping
along when an officer approached. Af-
ter the usual salute, the officer said: Let
me see your gun The raw recruit
handed over his Springfield rifle, and a
pleased expression stole over his face
AS the officer received the gun he said
in tone of deepest disgust: You're a
fine soldierl You've given up your gun.
and now what are you going to do p
The young Albanian turned pale, and
reaching for his hip pocket drew big
six-shooter, and, preparing for business,
said, in a voice that could not be misun-
derstood: Gimme that gun, or I'll blow
a hole through you in pair O. minutesr
The officer instantly decided not to
monkey any further with the raw re-
cruit, and the gun was promptly surren-
dered.

The Forerunuer of Baukruptcy.

Moderate drinkers engage in pursuits
calling for judgment and acumen, and
who use liquors during business hours,
end, d,with scarcely an exception, as finan-
clan wrecks, however successful they
may be in standing the physical conse-
quences of their indulgences. Thous-
ands who retain their health and are
never ranked as victims of intemperance,
lose their property, wreck their business
and are thrown into bankruptcy because
of tippling habits during business hours.
These men are not drunkards, and only
close observers can detect the influence
of strong drink in their department; but,
nevertheless, liquor gives them false
nervo, makes them reckless, clouds the
judgment, and soon involves them in bad
purchases, worse sales and ruinous con-
tracts. Sooner or later it is shown that
the habit of tippling during business
huors is a forerunner of bankruptcy
