and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell | together in unity The Pioneer-Press
 has recently sent two young men here, neither of whom has ever had experi- ence in Washington life, but they are doing exceedingly well. Unlike the average new men on the Row, they have not come here to show the old hands how to attend to business.
 It very frequently happens on the Row thai some bright, young reporter comes here, and immediately sets him self up as an authority from his own section; but very speedily they learn that each one of these old correspond ents has very fair set of brains himself, and they simmer down. The St. Louis Republic is represented by 0'Brien Moore. He is one of the brainiest, jolliest, roundest, plumpest, most like able fellows in the world. He knows news, too, when he sees it, and dresses 1t up in altisonant superlatives with gaudy verbal adornments. Colonel l.. Q. Washington represents the Picay- une, and is one of the oldest news paper men in Washington. He is an
 elegant Southern gentleman, dignified, polite, considerate, keen, bright, an in- cisive writer, a friend of all public men regardless of party affiliations, and re- spected by all of his associates.
 Just north of the Baltimore & Ohio building we como to the New York Sun building. 1t is crowded. Several gen tlemen have desk room there. Mir. Bar Ia ,nl nd Grand Rapids Times. Mr. Wellman represents the American Press Associa- ton and the Chicago Herald. Bob
 Vance, eSsCongressman from Connecti- cut, represents the Sun, and is as- sisted by MT. Barry and Amos Cum mings. They are a cotorie of educated, refined, scholarly gentlemen, and the Sun building is popular place on the
 Row. Adjoining this building, on the north, is brick which has long been
 unoccupied. Mir. Willard, itsproprietor,
 has acted like dog in the manager about
 it for many years. He is idiosyncratic,
 wealthy, cranky in some senses, and the
 boys have tacitly agreed to let him se-
 verely alone. In the natural order of events Mir. Willard will be gathered unto his fathers, and then this building
 will be occupied. We next come to the office of General Boynton, of the Cincin-
 natl Commercial-Gazet There is no abler newspaper correspondent than General Boynton, and no more accom- plished gentleman. He is reputed to be fighting character, in his correspond ence; and it is true that his belt is filled with the scalps of public men who have dared to cross him. But, with his friends and associates on the Row, Gen eral Boynton is one of the most kindly disposed, genial, helpful men in Wash ington. Those who know him best like him best.
 Fred Mussey and Bob Wynne are as- sociates of the General on the staff of the Commercial. Every body knows Mussey. He has been National char acter for several years past, although he is yet a young man. regard him as one of the mostremarkablyg gifted young
 men it has ever been my good fortune
 to meet with; and if his private life had been permitted to glide along as he mapped it out, Fred Mussey would have been known to higher ranks of fame and fortune than he has yet attained unto. Life is not the thing we planned it, and an adverse influence, without warning and without the possibility of prevention, warped his life from it's original purposes. But nothing on Gods green earth could drive SO clear . brain to aught but what is right, There is and has been nothing wrong in his life; but 1t is not iuss what no
