was no monotony in this part of the journey.
As we rose higher and higher we had a con-
stantly enlarging view Of the great plain be-
low, until dim and misty in the distance it
blended with the sky. Then we would pass
throughsa gigantic cleft in the rocks, and
looking upward, see only narrow streak Of
the sky above us; then emerging from that,
skim along the edge Of a precipice of 1000
feet or more of sheer descent. Then a COM
paratively level space, to be followed by new
view, cleft and precipice, each varying from
the last; and as we mounted still higher, now
and then through some gap would come a
glimpse of the distant Himalayas, clad in their
robes of eternal snow, 100 miles away, but in
the marvellous clearness of that Indian at
mosphere they seemed at a scarcely greater
distance than could be accomplished by an
easy walk. Then there were the stops at the
stations every half hour, affording oppor
tunity to jump out and stretch our legs for a
moment, and to gain some amusement from
the uniutelligible chattering and wild gest-
ures of the natives, conscious the while that
we were equally subject to them of good
natured contemplation the Indian peasant
does not desire to leave his home, and, believ-
ing every white man to be a millionaire,
thinks those rich sahibs great fools, when
they could stay at home in comfort, to spend
their time and money just to see mountain
or strange city.
So with these various changes the day
passed by, until about o'clock, as we rounded
huge promontory, We saw Simla scarcely a
mile away as the crow flies, but good four
miles by the road for between us and it was
one of the enormous chasms so frequent in
the Himalayas, around which we had to pass.

he was appointed first lieutenant in the
Mounted Rifles, United States army. He
served in the war with Mexico under Gen.
Scott, and smelled powder at Contreras,

Speaking of the wives Of noted generals
Mrs. Sheridan has one of the most pleasant
homes in Washington, and she is one Of the
brightest of Washington women. Tail, slen-
der and graceful, she has pleasant face, and
her manners are always composed. She is a
daughter of Gen. Rucker, and Gen. Sheridan
met her, think, when he was living at De-
troit Her home here is in one Of the most
fashionable parts Of Washington. It cost
several times $40, 900, and it is furnished with
the rare things which she and the general
have picked up in the travels Of their mar
ried life. Gen. Sheridan's workshop is just
off the parlor, and here Mrs. Sheridan often
sits and entertains her visitors. A rich Zuni
portiere separates the two rooms, and gor-
geous Indian bead tablecloth covers one Of
the tables of the parlor. Pictures of army
scenes hang upon the walls, and a very Gu
rious piece among the bric-a-brac is three
leafed miniature screen made Of richly flow
cred cretonne, out OF which look the photo
graphs of the friends of the family. You
will see here photograph of Little Phil;~
and Phil Sheridan's boy is, understand,
chip Of the old block, full of fire and daring.
Mrs Sheridan pays much attention to the
education of her children. They are taught
by private tutors, and they all speak French.
Gen Sheridan's memoirs are in press, by
the way, anu ne displays u ueciueu iHlerest Ii
the controversy which is now going on in re-
gard TO the writing of Grants book. He
will not leave his work in such condition
that any other man can claim to have writ
ten it, and the truth OF the matter is that the
most of his work has been penned, or PEN
cilled rather, with his own hand. He has, it
is true, had his secretaries look up certain
matters for him, but the writing has been
done by himself, and believe that the same
thing can be truly said of the memoirs of

forming the end of the wedge. The first
floor room of this tower constitutes Mrs.
Dahlgren's library, and it is the contest,
queerest conceit of the kind ! have ever
seen. Mrs. Dahlgren planned it herself,
and everything within it has for her
meaning. The floor is spiders
web, made Of wood inlaid with different
colors, and Mrs. Dahlgren says that this web
indicates that the pursuit Of knowledge
should be without end, and should go on as
long as life lasts. Then. there are curious
flowers in the tiling of the fireplace-the pas
sion flower, il j remember correctly, which
shows the love which one should nave for
learning X is the same with the ceiling and
the arrangement Of the books, and the fine
old pictures which look down from the walls
are in harmony with the remainder of the
room. Books are all around, and in one cor
ner of the room is little aIcove, with its in
terror made in the shape Of heart, and in
this is the statue of the Virgin, and two of
the works of the old masters are seen through
the soft light which comes in through the
stained glass window. Mrs. Dahlgren is a
Catholic, and this is her place of PRAYER. A
lace curtain separates it from the rest of the
library, and this is the shrine of the house.
Throughout the rest of the house there are
many rare and curious pieces Of furniture,
and the curios of lifetime spent among the
most prominent people of the world are here
TO be seen. Mrs. DahlSren has known WASH
ington and Washington life intimately for
the past generation and more. Her father
was one of tho leading Wing members Of
congress, and she came here with him as
g girl long before the war. As long ago
as the days of Buchanan she published
sketches and poems under the pen name
of Corinne In 1873 she made herself
noted by opposing woman suffrage. She
is very modest lady, with the gentlcst
of manners, and she talks very interest
ingly of the prominent people Of the
past She is the founder of the Literary
society Of Washington, and her house has for
years been frequented by the most noted
people of the country. She still writes, and
she is as earnest in her church work as she
is in q literary way. She has translated from
the French work on Plus TX, and from the
Spanish, Donoso Cortes' Catholicism,
Liberalism and Socialism, and for this she
received the thanks Of the pope.
Mrs. Gen. Hazen also lives in Washington.
She is now renting house, while her big
mansion on Sixteenth and streets is being
occupied by Senator Evarts.

The second floor has three large and well
lighted chambers, from each of which can

To Preserve the white, Homestead.

So much has been said relative to the pur-
chnse Of the old homestead Of the revered
poet, Whittier, that it is of interest to know
that the place is not for sale and cannot be
bought. The estate is owned by gentleman
of Haverhill, who has declined to part with
it under any circumstances, and naturally
feels somewhat aggrieved that he was not
consulted before the plan of buying the place
and preserving it as perpetual memorial
has received such wide publicity. The friends
ct the movement will, however, be pleased
to hear that the owner of the old Whittier
home is deeply interested in the preserva-
ton of the house and all its surrounding, and
has made arrangements for the reception Of
all visitors who may chance to present them
selves.-New York Sun.

Mrs. Hancock will probably carry on her

WASHINGTON, April 0. - Mrs Hancock

and ether wealthy residents of Washington,
and il is one Of the fine new houses of the

to come 10 Washington when it was being
constructed, and it was built according to
her suggestions. 1t is located at the corner

from cellar to garret. 1t is big three story
and basement structure, made of Philadelphia
pressed brick and rich brown stone. A wide
parking about fifteen feet deep runs around
its north and east sides, forming a beautiful
lawn, which is now as green as Ireland in the
summer. This lawn has facing of granite
about one foot high, and from the top of this
the ground rises gradually, until the founda-
tion Of the house is met, making a sort of
terrace, as il were. The house faces ON
Twenty-first street, and its corner is a great
brown stone tower, with many curved win.
dows and with a conical top, rooted with red
slate. At the end of the tower this red slate
slopes OF into a sort of half mansard roof for
the house, and this forms very pleasing and
ornamental patch of color above the red
brick and brown stone below. The basement
story is entirely of brown stone The win
dows are capped with brown stone, and the
front entrance, which is reached by brown
stone steps, is a brown stone square tower in
the center Of the building. Brass ratings
lead up these brown stone steps, and the wide
front door has half moon of stained glass
over it, The house contains, all told, about
a dozen rooms, and it is one OF the best
lighted houses in Washington.
Passing over the tiled vestibule, you enter
a wide and cariously shaped hall, at the back
of which stairs wind around and up to the
stories above. Just back of these stairs a
