WASHINGTON LETTER.

Ssatuary Hall and It's Interesting Conec-
ton of Art work-A Recent Addition IN
tho Statue of Lewis Cass-
Especial correspondence
Statuary Hall in the Capitol at Washing
ton has received one of its most important
pieces of sculpture, the statue OF Lewis
Cass, by d. C. French. the young Massa~
chusetts sculptor. Mr.. French is son OF the
late Assistant Secretary French, OF the
Treasury Department / remember two or
three years ago noticing IN the Office that
his father had occupied soon after the old
gentleman's death a fine plaster bust Of
Ralph Waldo Emerson. While l stood ad-
miring 1t New York politician came in to
see Secretary Fairchild, then Assistant
Secretary, and occupying that room. The
New York man was curious to know whose
bust it was.
at is the bust" said Secretary Fair
child, of Ralph Waldo Emerson, the poet,
philosopher and literary man"
"Well, by Jove,' said the New Yorker,
this is the first time 1 ever saw one OF
those id literary fellers in Office"
Since making the Emerson bust Mr..
French has resided in Paris, where year
and half ago he modelled the Cass statue.
1t is one Of the best pieces Of portraiture in
the hall. Senator Morrill, and Senator
Sherman, who are the only surviving MEN,
sat, have manifested great interest in the
statue and with great enthusiasm pro-
nounce it fine representation. The pedes-

rlon that the MuhleI.berg statue should be
put out Of Statuary Hall because Of Its ridicu-
lous appearance amongst the larger and
more dignified pieces of statuary, hailed
Pennsylvania Congressman as he was
passing and called his attention to the con-
trast
"You are right he said; #" Muhlenberg
was an ordinary man, his chief distinction
being piety and loyalty. He was entitled to
all honor from the people of Pennsylvania,
but of course there are greater men than
he. You must not think that we have not
done honor in fitting way, here in this
Capitol, to any of our citizens.
'sThe State of Pennsylvania gave Hiram
Powers forty thousand dollars for an heroic
statue of Benjamin Franklin, which stands
in a niche by the eastern staircase in the
Senate wing. This is probably the finest
statue of Franklin ever made. l agree
with you that there should stand here a
marble counterfeit of Thad Stevens, our
greatest modern Pennsylvania; man
whose iron will bore more fruit in the
craftsmanship of the war period than can
be attributed to almost any other man. In
time that will be done. All these things
come slowly. Anyway, it is queer fact
Daniel Webster, of Henry Clay, of John c.
Calhoun, nor of Abraham Lincoln"
AS the Pennsylvania Congressman turned
to 90 away ore of the Capitol guides came up
with party of ladies curious TO stand on the
whispering stones" 1t seems that the
acoustic peculiarities of Satuary Hall are
source of financial profit to the guides.
They have certain stones in the tiled floor
where the visitor standing can hear whis-
per made hundred feet away in another
part of the chamber. The voice Of the
whisperer seems to come from behind the
statue of Muhlenberg. The favorite re-
mark of the guides who do their own whis-
pering and enjoy Waggish joke at the ex-
pense Of the Muhlenberg statue is: II am
General Muhlenberg, Of Pennsylvania, the
champion sprinter OF the revolutionary
period" The guides might object to the
removal of this MGEienberg statue, as they
seem to be making money out OF it, but GER
tainly nobody else would. NoRD.

CAST TO The FLAMES.
An Old Mans Singular Mode of Prevent
ing His Heirs from Wrangling.

ing His Heirs from Wrangling.
IN. Y. Special.l
In 1775, when New ork was an over
grown town and all good Americans were
oiling up their tiint-lock muskets for little
skirmish with their British cousins, Alex
ander Buchanan, a shipping merchant and
cousin of one of the anc esJorS of President
Buchanan, lived down near Pearl street.
He was well-to-do man and owned num-
Der of plots of land near his residence, be-
sides a few hundred acres of wilderness
land up in the country, about One-Hundred-
and-T wentieth street, on the Harlem river.
. Buchanan was a true, old-fashioned pa
triot, and when the war broke out he shout
dered his llint-lock, turned over his ships
and business to an agent, and went to the
front with Washington.
Before he left he leased his lots on Pearl
street and his wild land on the Harlem
When the war was ended the soldier did
not return to New York, but went West
with his family and settled finally in Ken
lucky. Nothing was heard of the leases
until 1865. Then an advertisement APP
peared calling upon the heirs of Alexander
Buchanan to make themselves known, and
stating that property to the amount of
$4,000, 900 awaited them. AT the time Levi
Buchanan, son of Alexander, was looking
after the property he had lost in the civil
war, and no attention was paid to the adj
vertisement. Levi married and had eleven
children, of whom the eldest was Linda
Myra, who married John Hendricks In
the Old age OF Levi he lived with this
daughter. Among his possessions was an
old strong box, containing papers which
he mad Inherited from his father
One day he took out bundle of docu.
ments, and threw them into the fire,
muttering: Il may be doing wrong, but is
will keep my heirs from spending their
money trying TO get more" When the old
man died the chest was found to contain
many old papers, but nothing about the
New York property. The papers destroyed
are supposed to be the missing leases. A
lawyer has been retained by number Of
the descendants of Alexander Buchanan TO
look up the old records in New York, and
try to prove title to the plots, which are
now of enormous value. he has come on
to New York, and has published this adver-
tiSeKIent:
Information wanted regarding proper
ty in this city known as the neglected Bu-
chanan property" He says that there are
about two hundred heirs of Alexander Bu-
chanan now living in Kentucky, Illinois
and New York

SUPERSTITION AMONG NEGROES "A
month ago Dick Winston, track walker on
the Chesapeake ard OHIO Railroad, was as
sasinated by another negro, who asserted
that he bewitched member of his family.
Another negro, Joe Rose, who was liked by
blacks and whites, succeeded him. No
sooner had Joe entered upon his duties
than he asserted that he had seen the spirit
of the dead Winston, either entering The
tunnel where he formerly worked or the
culvert where he fell when shot. Strange
characters would suddenly shine out upon
the dark eides of the interior of the tunnel
like the famous handwriting on the WALL.
These strange visiiations continued for a
month. Joe went to the White Sulphur
Springs on Saturday night. At the station
he accidentally brushed against mulatto
boy, one of the crowd of insolent negroes
who hang about. The mulatto would take
no explanation, but going to his room
brought down his revolver and shot Rose
dead. The negroes connect the ghostly ap-
pearances with this fatality, considering
them to have been warnings to Bose of his
approaching death.

Suffering Miners

PORT TOWNSEND, w. T. Oct. -Four
miners have arrived from st. Michael's Isl
and. ALI are attacked with scurvy. There
are over 200 miners on Forty Mile placer
diggiugs and about 60 on Stewart River, 100
miles further. 1t is greatly feared that the
miners will suffer- greatly for want of pro
visions and actual necessities during the
winter. They intended wintering on the
Yukon, and expected the newly built steam.
er Arctic to bring up supplies. The Arctic
sailed from St. Michael's August 90 and in
fiae hours was totally wrecked and the car
go lost. The only available vessel left was
the OLD steamer Yukon, which cannot carry
ore than 20 tons, and could scarcely reach
Forty-Mile creek within forty days. The
Yukon was dispatched up the river on Aug.
so, and if the season is backward she will
reach the miners in time to partly relieve
their wants. 1t is impossible for all of them
to come to the river this season. Their
supplies will become exhausted before New
Years. Great priVation and many deaths
will certainly be the result.

QUARTERS FOR FRED. DOUGLASS PARTY
The movements of Frederick Douglass
minister to Hsyti, who is to start from the
Brooklyn navy-yard on the United States
ship Kearsarge to-day, created considerable
commotion there yesterday. Shortly after
noon Commodore Shepard was relieved by
Commander Whiting by orders from the
Navy Department. In order that Douglass,
his white wife and bis party might be made
comfortable the entire cabin is to be given
up to their use. The officer of the deck re-
piled to reporters inquiry as to how his
colleagues liked the prospect of conveying
the colored minister to the West Indies, "We
can't very we'll object to it when it's in the
line of duty" During the trip the negroes
and Douglass white wife will have full sway
on the man-of-war, and the white officers
will have to play second fiddle. No officer
in the U. S. naval service is permitted to
take his wife on cruise on q government
man of gar, bnt this favor was conferred on
q white woman who had sunk low enough to
marry negro.
