The White House of the Confederacyi is now
used as a public school, and the halls in which

I. Benjamin and Others held many of their
war councils. now re-echo with the voices OF
children. 1t was here that jefferson Davis
lived with his family during the whole of the
late war Here he talked over the various
campaigns with Gen. Robert K. Lee, and
here he gave many a levee at the beginning
of the struggle, when hope was high and the
prospects of a.great southern empire appa-
rently good. The house Is a fine three-story
brick building with large rooms and an old
fashioned porch upheld by great pillars at the
back. Atthe left of it is an entrance 10 what
We're Mr.. Davis stables, and there is a garden
In the rear. 1t is only -four or five squares

RICHMOND, Aug. 23.-I am surprised to

ing been burned to the ground tweRtY-4.,Tea4p
ago. 1t has almost doubled its population,
and its new residences bear the marks of mea
with large incomes. Franklin and Grows
streets, the two most fashionable residence
streets OF the city, are lined with magnificent
houses, the windows Of which are hung with
lace and satin curtains, and every surround
ing of which is indicative of wealth. There
are many houses ranging in value from S10,-
coo upwards. These nave short but well kept
lawns in front Of them, and they are in gem
eral a of brick, though here and there a
stone house is now creeping in. Just outside
of the city there are two parks, and a mag
nificent drive has lately been constructed,
which is known as the Boulevards, and which
takes you out in the direction of Hollywood
cemetery, through and beyond the most
fashionable quarter of the city. Richmond's
population is now about 10000, and about
three-seyenths of this is colored. The colored
people seem to be doing pretty we'll, and the
whites are further advanced than in the aver
age southern city. The town has street cars, in
which both blacks and whites ride, n its
business streets are lighted by electric lights.
1t has grown into a great manufacturing place
since the war, and its iron factories, Touring
mills and tobacco factories do a very large
business.

PRESIDENT MoNRoE's ro,n.

Monroe's monument is made of iron lattice
work sanded over to rake it look like brown
stone. 1t represents d temple, and looking
through the bars you see a great gray granite
~sarcophagus in which the body OF the dead
president reposes. 1t seems to me that the
monument would look much better without
the iron temple at.9ut it. Iron is too cheap
looking for a tombstone, and the only endur-
ing monument should be made of bronze or
granite. Marble decays and grows rusty in
our climate, and a stone dealer once told me
that granite would stand acid for 1 900 years
which would eat up marble in a day.
-Monroe's career is an example of the in
gratitude of republics. He served his coun-
try all his life and died a pauper. He was in
the revolutionary war, entering the army at
IL, and during the remainder of his life he
was almost continuously in the public service.

Be Careful.

There are two kinds of perspiration,
sensible and insensible. When we see
drops of water on the surface of the
body as the result of exercise, or SUBJ
sdence of fever, that is sensible per-
spiration-perspiratio recognized by
the sense of sight But when perspira-
ton is so gentle that it cannot be de-
tected in the shape of water drops,
when no moisture can be felt, when it
is known to us only by a certain soft
ness of the skin, that is insensible per-
spiration, and is so gentle that it may be
without special injury. But to use
popular language, which cannot be
mistaken, when man is sweating
freely and it is suddenly checked, and
the sweat is not brought out again in
very few moments, sudden and painful
sickness is very certain result. What,
then, checks perspiration? A draft of
air while we are at rest, after exercise,
or getting the clothing wet and remain
ing at rest while it is so. Getting
out Of a warm bed and going to an
open door or window has been the
death of multitudes. A lady heard the
cry of fire at midnight; it was bitter
cold; it was so near the flames illu-
minated her chamber. She left the bed,
hoisted the window and the cold wind
chilled her in a moment. From that
hour until her death, quarter of CEN
fury later, she never saw we'll day.
A young lady went to a window in her
night-clothes to look at something in
the street, leaning her unprotected
arms on the stone window-sill, which
was damp and cold. She became an
invalid and will remain so for life. Sir
Thomas Colby, being in a profuse
sweat one night, happened to remem-
Der that he had left the key of his wine
cellar on the parlor table, and fearing
his servants might improve the mad
vertence and drink some of his wine,
he left his bed and walked down stairs;
the sweating process was checked, from
which he died in few days, leaving
S6,000,000 in the English funds. His
illness was so brief and violent that he
had no opportunity to make his will,
and his immense property was divided
among five or six day laborers who
were his nearest relations. The great
practical lesson which we wish to i'm
press upon the mind of the reader is
this: When you are perspiring freely
keep in motion until you get to good
fire or to some place where you are per-
fectly sheltered from any draft of air
whatever.-HdWs Journal of Health.

driver would be bold enough to venture
there. Here are the shops of the
principal merchants and the gorgeous
stores of the artificers of feather flowers
and the dealers in gold and silver and
precious stones. At night, from one
end to the other, the street is filed with
people not on the narrow sidewalks
only but completely filling the thorough
fare from wall to wall. Officers of the
army and navy, and soldiers and sailors,
all in uniform, mingle with the crowd
and flash their gold lace in the bright
light that floods the street. Everywhere,
too, are the deliberately caparisoned
mulatto gendarmes, the police of the
city. From the cafes chantants come
the sounds of music and the clinking
of glasses. AT little tables in the cafes
the Brazilians sit, drinking strong coffee
or other beverages, talking, gesticulating
and never for a moment completely
still. The feat of catching weasel
asleep is easy compared with that of
catching a Brazilian when some portion
of his body is not in motion. You will
see group of them sitting in cafe
talking and every one will have the ball
of his right foot resting on the floor
and his knee moving with regular,
nervous " dandle." This is owing to
the amount of strong black coffee they
drink. The total abstinence cause has
few, if any, supporters in Brazil. Every
body drinks-men, women and children
but 1 never saw drunken man in the
empire. The police records show that
men do get drunk here, but it is very
seldom that one is seen. The labor
ing classes drink vile beverage called

of the West is nothing to it, and swal-
lowing torchlight procession is pleas

moderate as the Brazilians are in the
use of liquors they are decidedly inn
moderate in the use of coffee. 1t is
coffee the first thing in the morning
and the last thing at night, coffee at
meals and coffee between meals, and all
of it made according to to the proverb.-

Fate of the Worlds Great Men.

Socrates died in prison as a public
malefactor; for the healing wisdom he
offered his people deadly poison was
the reward. Homer led a life so OBJ
scure, at least, that nobody knew his
birthplace, and, indeed, some modern
critics are denying that there ever was
Homer. Plato travelled back and
forth from his home in Athens to the
court of the Syracuse tyrant, regarded,
indeed, and feared, but prosecuted and
in peril of life; nay, and once sold for a
slave. Cicero met a worse fate. Dante
all his life knew, as he expressed it,
How salt was a strangers bread,
How hard the path still up and down to tread
A strangers stairs"
Copernicus and Calico found science
no more profitable than Dante found
poetry. Shakespeare had home, but
too poorly endowed to stand long in his
name after he left it; the income upon
which he retired was barely two or
three hundred pounds year, and so
little did his contemporaries know or
think of him that the critics hunt in
vain for the details of his private life.
