WASHINGTON, D. c., March 80, 1885,
Everything is dead in Washington, for, as
Max O Rell said, when Congress is 10 ses-
sion Washington is delirious, but as soon
as it adjourns everything dies. The death
th year was prolonged by the host OF
ofice-seekers, who came early, are still here
and are hanging on with bull-dog-like
tenacity that surprises every one except
themselves. The Lord has been good and
tempered the wind to these feeced lambs
and given them the most beautiful spring
weather seasoned by an occasional shower
to make them grow.
The base ball season has just opened and
very soon the hard workingman will go
down and blow in his hard-earned cash.
and the howl of the young American will
be heard on every vacant lot. This will
stir the town up little and give the PEG
pie something to talk about at least.
President Harrison is still kept busy by
visitors and wire pullers, and during the

of the mission to the court of St. James
has been settled by the selection of Hon
Robt. L. Lincoln, while Allen Thorndyke
Rice has been chosen for the Russian mis-
sion. Murst Hals.ead has been named as
minister to Germany, but his nomination
has met with serious objections from the
Senators, and his confirmation looks doubt

Wreck at BridgetOn.

Last Friday a mud train.on
the east Wabash of st. Charles ran
into a hand car. 1t seems that it
was at sharp curve and the men
on the hand car only had time to
jump, leaving the hand car on the
track. As the train was backing,
the two cars were derailed, killing
the conductor and rear end brake
man. The engineers legs were
broken and three men, two of
whom were father and son, were
very badly hurt. The injured
were brought through here last
night en- route to the Wabash hos.
pital at Kansas City. Doctors
French, HALEY and Toalson were
taken aboard here and went as far

ductor's name was Chas. Deffen.

from Hannibal. Pias King and his
son, car inspectors of st. Charles,
and Chas. Stout,a Ioborer, were tbs
three injured ones.

Dick Graham's educated water
spaniel dog, ''Brack," picked up
poison somewhere last night and
died shortly after getting the dose.
Persons should be very careful how
they throw poison around pro-

cur that always gets it. Dick had

HancOck's Unmarked Grave.

tfSfn tDo fFtt
No monument marks the grave
of General Winfield Scott Han
cock. His remains lie in an un-
pretentious corner of the cemetery
at Norristown, Pa, and evidences
of neglect are all around the grave.
The writer can not distinguish it
from any other grave. A marble
slab appropriately inscribed can
be bought for $40, a good marble
headstone for $40, a fine granite
headstone for $50, a very respecta-
BILE marble monument for $500, or
handsome monument for $500.
And yet the grave of the hero OF
Gettysburg, Democratic candidate
for President and one of the most
conspicuous generals of the army
for a quarter of century, remains
unmarked.

Famous Prayer.

At the opening session Of Con-
gress, Monday morning, the blind
chaplain of the house, alluded a.
length, and pathetically, In his ell
oquept praye., to the late Jefferson
Davis. This action seems some
what of an anomaly IN a strongly
Republican body, but then, the
Rev. Milburn has the honor and
distinction of being a pronounced
Democrat. The following is the
now famous prayer:
Almighty God! the land is
full of sorrow; Rachel weeping for
her children and will not oe COM
forted, because they are not; fathers
for their first born, the pride and
stay of their future years; children
their parents, and millions 81,
cold in the atmosphere of death
mourning the departure from earth
of man dear to their hearts, who
had reached the term of four score
years. Grant that the solemn
mystery of death, the common her.
itage of us all, the meaning o.
which all must know ere long
may soften and hallow our hearts
and feelings into the noble gentle
ness of the golden text uttered by
the most conspicuous man of thu
century, in whom tenderness o
heart made greatness of station ane
character more illustrious-'Char
