MRS. sToyEwALL JACKSON.
There are two things which Harrison Is
said to have done which commend him to
the people OF virelnia-ofering the Lex
ington (va.) post-ofllce to the widow OF
stonewall Jackson and retaining In place
General Joseph Il. Johnston.
The offer 10 Mrs. Jackson was made
through q Virginia Republican who Is IN
high favor a. Washington Just now, aud
who IL well known 10 enjoy the personal
friendship OF Blaine and Wsnamaker, and
who has moro than bare Acquaintance with
the President himself.
So DESTROYS are the Washington people TO
have Mrs. Jackson accept Office from them
IL is confidently believed they would give
her the Richmond post.office II they thought
she would sccept ii.
The Office winch General Johnston holds
| Is Commissioners OF Railroads, and Ills under
stood General Sherman has MADE OF the
President personal request that General
Johnston shall be retained, and that conse-

THE PREsrpBST TO VISIT VIRGINIA.
President Harrison and wife two years ago
visited the monitor feet at CITY Point, and
while there got the Commodore TO send them
10 the steani-launch down to Westoyer and
Berkeley.
TIE trip was such an agreeable one that IL
Is tho well-known wish OF the President to
repeat 1t. He has Major Drewry's invitation
10 come 10 Westover sgain whenever he can,
and be has written that he will certainly do
30. but that to appoints date is quite impossi-
bic.
Berkeley and westover are grand old Vir-
piBia estates, and the name OF Harrison Is
almost as much part OF the history OF the
James river as are those of John Smith and
Pocahontas. The wife OF the owner OF the
lordly westoyer estate IA Harrison and one
OF the loveliest Of her sex and social leader
at the White Sulphur.

The question Is sometimes asked II Mr..
Kelley will lose his place because Cleveland
10 out and Harrison in. He will not. he IS
not an appontee OF the United States Gov
eminent; nor does this Government pay his
salary or any part OF it. Mr.. Kelley is
member Of one Of the three or four iDterna-
tional courts OF Egypt. The President re-
commended him aud the Sultan or the
Powers appointed him. he is at Cairo;
almost under the shadow OF the pyramids.
on the same bench are two Europeans.
The courts Of justice OF the East are so no.
torjously aud UNANIMOUSLY corrupt that the
western people will not tolerate them for a
moment and 50 they have compelled the Sui
taR 10 agree that all disputes between for
eigners and between natives and foreigners
shai be tried by these international trl.
buuals.
The judgeship pays $500 per annum.
Cairo has a beautiful climate and European
population OF 10000.

day morning from Washington, whittier he

seat In the FiIty-frst Congress from this dis
trIct.
