"A Project to Estab,IHh "A Garden on the .
Reclaimed Potomac Flats.
From u PAAdelnhla Tints.

FRAN H. Phtk0dekDhtG Times.
WAsHINGToN. Jan. 24.-An old project
to establish geological garden in " asn-
ington has been revived. 1t was first
talked about and put in practical shape
sixteen years ago. when "A company was
chartered TO have charge OF the enter
PRISE. The act Of incorporation vas ape
proved june ~, 1870, and is SUI Ia force.
Among the lucOTporators were Hears
COoke, George ". Riggs, james g.. ken
nedy, Spencer r. Band. Gen. Q. o. How
ara, I. W. Bartlcy, Joseph Carey Horace
CaprOu, j. James, &. MaguIre and Geo rye
Taylor. The surviving lncurpcr1lor-
stll bold the franchises and there IS to"
talk OF putting the act Of Incorporation
into operation.
Under the act the company il permitted
20 lease the real estat" they may require,
10 charge an admission tee to the garden
and % import, free Of duty, birds and AMI
mas intended for the collection in tne
garden. The plan is now to obtain from
Congress a grant Of portion OF the re
claimed lands on the fats south OF the
city. Prof Baird, one OF the incorpora-
tors. expresses himself as fayoring a
location on the fats, which, if the con-
t-uplated improvements are carried out,
would be easily accessible from the CITY.
Tins Is regarded as probably one OF me
best locations tor such an enterprise 10
the world. and p. T. Barnum, the show
man, has shrewdly offered TO establish a
garden here If be can secure the use OF
thirty acres Of this land. II he can OBJ
tain the franchises he desires he proposes
to eXpend 100000 In il. proving and
beautitying the garden and making it the
rendezvous for his m"nageries and all
other menaQeries IN the country during

What Mr.. Hill Saws.

On the arrival of the New York World
IN savannah yesterday the Atlanta cor
respondent Of the MORNING NEWS was
instructed to see Mr.. Ben Hill, and in
quire what foundation there was for the
statements Of Mr.. Frank Burr. The fol-
lowing reply was received:
ATLANTA, Jan. 2S-YOur correspond
ent called on District Attorney Ben Hill
and showed him the interview with Frank
Burr in the New YORK WORTH, telegraphed
from Washington on Jan. Is, and asked if
he could give any facts in connection
herewith. Mr.. Hill, after reading the ar
ticle, said that it was not the first time he
had heard Of the matter mentioned by Mr..
Burr, but he had received no information
on the subject from his father.
My father" said Mr.. Hill, twas on
intimate terms with President Garfield.
and believed that his administration
would treat the South with more Justice
than previous ones had dene, and
| have two letters written by
President Garfield to my father
after his election, and before his inaugu-
raj, fully justifying this belief, but l do
not believe any agreement was entered
into between them as stated by Mr.. Burr.
l cannot think Mr.. Burr has been cor
rectly reported. He certainly never wrote
to me inclosing any letter from my father,
or asking for the alleged correspondence
with Mr.. Garfield.

A PECULIAR CASE OF ECZEMA.
Tne Terrible suferings of a Man Living
at Penn Yam.

ELMIRA, \, V, Jan. PA very pc
cuhsr case came to the notice of the people
OF Penn Yam some time ago, and its pro-
gress mas been watched by the medical
profession with the greatest interest.
Perry Danes, respected citizen of the
village, suddenly became afflicted with
singular disease. The first symptom was
a peculiar itching of the skin over the
entire body. This continued for several
months, and the torture he endured was
indescrlbable. During this time the skin
was gradually thickened. The color was
a lurid red and a burning sensation per-
vaded the entire body. Many physicians
were consulted, none of whom were able
to diagnose the disease or afford any re-
Lief to the sufferer. sAfter time the skin
became thick and leathery, perfectly dry,
and covered with scales. Whenever the
body was brushed white scales would tall
IN showers. After the skin had thickened
and become perfectly parched and dry IL
began to form in folds. Every part of
the surface of the body was thus affected.
The face presented terrible appearance.
The eyes were nearly closed from the eX-
cessive thickness of the eyelids, which lay
In thick folds. The skin over the entire
surface OF the body seemed to be growing
thicker aud harsher during this time. Mr..
Danes suffered untold agOnies, and was
told that his case was hopeless. and his
time To live was short. He had lost all
faith IN medicines. and was anxious to
have death relieve him of his suffering.
AT the meeting of the state Homeopathic
Society at Grove Spring last fall be was
examined by the leading physicians of the
State, and so rare is the disease that few
of them ever witnessed OF heard Of
similar case. Two of them pronounced
it a well defined case Of universal eczema,
and Mr.. Danes at once placed himself un-
der their treatment. For a long time no
change was apparent. The scales that
fell from his body increased and hundreds
Of peopis who had heard Of the strange
case came to see him. His skin presented
very much the appearance of an ele-
plants hide. His nights were spent in
bathing and rubbing his body, and he had
become nearly insane from long suffering
and want Of sleep. About SIX months ago
be began TO improve slowly. The shower
of scales lessened, the thickening of the
skin was arrested, and the deep and pain
fu folds began to disappear. Although
not vet well ne is mpdratlyely comfort
able, ana is thought TO be in tair way
to recovery.

When the Southern Contederacy was
about to collapse-after Richmond had
been evacuated-as the vanguard of the
army was about leaving the city-a raid
was made upon the government build
ing5 The Confederate archives, which
were afterward sold to the United States
government, had been taken away, and
nearly everything Of value had been
either carried off or DESTROYED. Col. John
T. Pickett, who had charge of the remain
ing forces, found the great seal in the
capitol building, and not wishing it to fall
into the hands OF the enemy, put it into
mis- pocket.
After the close OF the war Col. Pickett
went to Mexico, taking the seal with him.
where he remained for some years, aud
amassed considerable property. Re-
turning to this country in 1872 he settled
in Washington city, and commenced tAe
practice of law, where the writer became
acquainted with him, and learned this bit
of history Of the seal. We saw the seal
in the possession of Col Pickett on more
than one occasion.
In 1873 Col. Pickett conceived the idea
OF turning this valuable treasure INFO

the Confederate States. Accordingly he
