With the opening spring the sod in
some of our handsome enclosures has
become more and more emerald in hue.
until gardening as an employment and
recreation has suggested itself to the
mind of many a household mistress.
Already our ladies are wearing white

borders and there is an especial joy in
thinking that the sweetest and tairest

Beck recently introduced an amend
ment TO the bill, which, when examined
was found to be the Morrison Tariff Bill
entire. Several other measures have
been introduced and referred to the
Agricultural Committee, with the idea
that that committee will be under the
necessity of considering ali these meas
ures at length, which will delay the re-
port on the Oleomargarlne bill.
Mr.. Winston, of Illinois, our late Min
lister to Persia, SAYS the reason of his
resignation is that he finds nothing to
do ut his post. 1t is somewhat puzzling
to know what he expected to do there.
Having accepted the responsibility of
going there TO do nothing, Mr.. Winston
ought not to shirk his duties at this ear
| y date. But many are curious to know
why the government wishes to maintain
diplomatic relations with Persia at ALL
We have very little commercial or 80
ciai relations with the Persians, and a
Minister to the North Pole would be
about rs useful.
Col. +. Spencer Pratt, of Alabama, is
mentioned as the possible successor to
Mr.. Winston. He is a polished gentle
man, who has spent many years i'll tray
ell, and filled several public trusts; and
il he does not find the duty OF being idle
too irksome, he will probably fill the
place very well.
The Senate Finance Committee has
agreed upon bill To create the Office of
the Third Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury. The tenure of the new Office
is u year, but it will be extended from
time to time, and probably be made
permanent eventually. The Office if
To be the same i'm every respect as the
two Assistant Secretaryships now in ex-
istence, and when Mr.. Manning returns
he will find his duties much lightened.
Since his return to Washington the
President has settled down as if moth
ing had happened. He has been work
ing hard in disposing of his mail, which
had accumulated largely during his ab.
sence.
No definite plans have yet been made
by Mr.. Cleveland for his projected trip
OF course there are any number of ru.
mors, and the President would indeed
he ubiquitous person if half of them
were true. One of the latest is that he
and his bride will take short Fri p on
the L.. $. steamer dispatch" The
most credible statement, however, il
that after the adjournment of congress
the bridal couple will spend some
months in visiting various summer re-
sorts in the White Mountains.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June 10th, 1856.
Now that the hot days have come, con-
gress seems to be realizing the fact that
there are still many bills to he consid-
cred, and unless hard work is done in
the next few weeks, the prospect is good
for remaining i'm Washington all sum-
mer, The usual effort will be made by
the House of Representatives TO crowd
into the last end of the session congress
sional business that ought to have been
attended to during the winter. To a
casual observer il would seem that sew
eral months would not be two much
time for properly finishing the amount
of work that yet remains to be done;
but an attempt will be made to get
through IN as many weeks. A congress
man remarked the other day at may
be done, but none of the bills, of course,
will receive due consideration"
There is probably no way of prevent
ing this. Every winter warnings are de-
livered against delay and innumerable
good resolutions are formed, but as the
close of each session draws near, the
work is found to be appallingly in ar
rears, and the customary crowding takes
place.
The enemies of the oleomargarine
bill are trying to injure its chances in
the senate by loading down the Agri-
cultural committee, to which it has been
assigned, with other business. Senator

thorne is the frontispiece to the July

history attached To it. The photograph

1860. Only one sitting was given, and
but one negative developed. After Ma
yall, senior, retired, his son searched
through the stock of plates, and the
Hawthorne negative could not he found.
1t had probably been broken, and the
