(By courtesy of BosToY DAILY GLoBE,)

pet schemes of the celebrated Austin Cor

bought numerous acres at Worthwhile, N, d.,
laid out grounds, is building u fine residence
and has constructed an immense park, the
latter to contain buttaloes, moose, elk, deer
partridge, woodcock, etc,
Worthwhile is situated some 10 or ~ miles
from Claremont, and is part of Newport,
being one mile north of the latter town.
At Worthwhile Mr. Corbin has begun the
erection of two houses, one OF which event
ually will be occupied by himself and the
other by his daughter, Mrs. Edgell. The
foundation of the former mansion is on a
rise of ground gradually extending upward
from the river, and the house when COM
plete can be seen for miles around.
On this site stood the old Corbin home
stead a portion of which is still standing
and will be preserved US an snnex to its
more ostentatious and more modern neigh

Mrs. Edgell's house will stand on the site
of the old Welcome homestead. A distance
of half mile separates il from Austin's
mansion.

rhe Washington Evening Star publishes
an illustra ed account of very grand
design for the extension of the White House
VIII CHI Mrs. Harrison has prepared. 1t is
proposed to construct a separate building
east of the White House, to be connected
with it by portico leading from the east
room, This building is to contain picture
galleries and to be always open to the public.
Then a building of the same size is to be
built to the westward of the White House,
to be used for the offices of the President and
his secretaries. These two buildings are to
be connected by vast cons. rvatory stretch
ing clear around to the southern side of the
White House. These buildings would cost
more than 100000. an the White House
itself would have a few more sleeping rooms
but would be no larger than it is now.

spite OF the fact that labor and fuel were
double the English prices. This he attrib-

A Chat With General Grierson About
Various Affairs.

General Miles has been all over the
department of Arizona; it was never in
better condition." said General Grierson
yesterday to a HERALD man in depart
ment headquarters. ''He has taken
charge of the department. l have been
promoted, you know-promoted to the
position of an American citizen. There
is no dignity in the world that excels it
don't you ever forget that my boy"
and the ex-cavalryman's sabre hand
slapped the reportorial back, animated
by patriotic good humor.
General Miles was busy signing orders
for this, that and the other thing, but
he paused long enough to answer few
questions.
"How is the presidential outlook"
"Now, don't begin on that" he in
terrupted.
"But you have been widely spoken OF
as presidential possibility, general"
THAT does not concern me at all. |

he finds before him."
"You have many friends who would
be glad to help forward your interests"
eyes, suppose have, and there are
many other fellows who would do just
the opposite. But this is all idle talk );
it does not concern me, as said. The
presidential idea has spoiled good
many men, you know"
"Well, what about Notifications at
San Pedro?"
81 believe you will get them. have
long favored the idea, and it will soon
be necessity. There is no sense in
leaving all this coast temptation to
an enemy. San Diego, San Pedro, Santa
Barbara, San Francisco, all Pacific coast
ports, should be we'll fortified"
'And with the Notifications will come
large post, suppose"
"The policy of the war departments is
now to abolish the small posts and con-
centrate troops at transportation CEN
ters. Los Angeles is certainly the best
place for regimental post south of San
Francisco on account of its railroad con-
nectlons. l think that you have good
chance to get one located here"
elbow much land would be required ?"
"Most of the new posts consist of
about two sections of land, but one Sec
ton can be made to do. You see there
are sites for barracks, and officers quar-
ters and parade ground, and rifle ranges;
it takes considerable land. The quality
of the soil, of course, does not matter,
but there should be good drainage, and
good water"
The general said that he considered
that the offer of the land necessary
would be good move to make. The
advantages resulting from the establish
ment of regiment of soldiers in this
county would be very great. The ex-
penditures necessary for a thousand
men, officers and camp hangers-on, and
the disbursement of their pay, would
amount to neat sum.
The general will remain here for sew
eral days, spending his nights at Santa
Monica.
