necessary. Tho big home which 6ecre-
tasy Rusk has rented will be sracsd by
his wife and daughter. The Rusks lived
in Washington for short time during
the time be was In Congress. but never

This much for the cabinet families that
are now to Washington. OF course,
everyone knows al about the Blaines and
the Windows, Who havs lived 20 many
years in Washington. 10 them the COM

continue his literary work. Mr.. Crawford
is singnlariy fortunate man. His artis-
tic tastes are an Inheritance from his

schools, and that be has travelled far and
to good purpose the readers Of bis books
appreciate. He ID splendid man phys
ically. The most careful attention TO ex-
ercise, especially fencing, has fully de-
veIoped this giant. H. 10 young, and

Add to his joys that he has beautiful
and accomplished wife, and you will see
that his life il complete. Mrs. Crswford
is the daughter Of Col. Berdan, who in
the early part Of the war organized Q troop
Of sharpshcoteB. Every man who fought
in the Army Of the Potomac remembers
''Berdan's sharp ahooaers," and their
fourteen pound telescope sight rides, that
enabled them to single out man At the
distance Of one mile and put . ball

adored for her beauty, and her large,
gray-blue eyes, the sort Of eyes Mary Of
Scotland had, were used to conquests be-
fore she met and married Mr.. Crawford.
