Washington Letter.
From our Regular Correspondent,
Washington, Aug. %. 1891.

Washington, Aug. %, 1891.
If the President returns to Washing
ton within the next three weeks as he is
expected to do. he will find the White
House scarcely habitable as it is not ex.
pected that the workmen can possibly
finish the repairs before the first of
October and to get through that early it
has been found necessary to postpone
portion of the work to be done until
next summon.
Secretary Foster reports our financial
condition to be excellent and improving
every day. He anticipates not the
slightest difficulty in taking up such of
the Al per cent bonds as shall be pre-
scented for extention ut % on or before
September 2, which is the last day that
they can be extended. He does not
think the amount to be redeemed will
much exceed $50, 200, 600, and he has an
available balance of S106, 900. 600 ex-
elusive of the 500, 100000 in the much
written about ''gold reserve" fund.
These bonds like all issued by our Gov
eminent are made payable in gold
should the holder desire il, and as the
Treasury has in IFS vaults more than
500 100000 in gold coin, in addition to
the "gold reserve, there will be no diff
fculty in accommodating the owners of
the bonds presented for redemption
even should they ell desire to be paid in
gold This state of affairs is very graf
flying to everybody. but the democratic
calamity walters who have for months
been saying that the United States
Treasury would be bankrupt and that
when the time come to take up these
bonds it would be compelled to default
in the payment OF them. OF course
those of them who know anything knew
better all the time, but having been so
successful last fall in their campaign of
misrepresentation they have for lack of
any other principle adopted that method
of fighting the republican party.
The news of the Governor of Vermont
having formally notified Secretary Proc
tor of his intention to appoint him to
serve out the unexpired term of Senator
Edmunds, when his resignation takes
effect November lst, created no surprise
here, as it was only carrying out what
everybody had accepted several months
ago as certain to occur. Secretary
Proctor has ably administered the affairs
of the War Department. and while
/ everyone reioices that he is to occupy a
i place that is more congenial 10 him

usually follows the retirement of mem

the War portfolio. Speculation is rife
as to who will succeed Secretary Proctor
in the cabinet and many names are be.

from an interview with Henry c. Wicker

from now we will put metallic tin on
the market in large quantities. We have
mills erected capable of crushing 250
tons of ore day, and by February we
will have another mill erected which
will double cur capacity. Our shaft is
down 800 feet and at every 100 feet we
have lateral levels We have crushed
some ore, but only for the purpose of
assaying. The ore runs from ? to per

III IS difficult to rightfully grasp the
situation in Chill. Heretofore sympa-
thy has been with President Balmaceda
as the duly elected president of the Re-
public, and against the insurgents as
revolutionary force. Now that ValpA-
raise has been captured by the insur-
gents and the downfall of Balmaceda
practically accomplishment reports are
reliable, it seems that Balmaceda was
usurper. While duly elected over five
years ago to the presidency, he could
not bear to leave the office at the end of
his terms years -when he would be
disqualified for reelection. so took the
role OF dictator, adjourned congress
and run things with high hand. Con-
gress is also elected by the people and
being the next highest in authority,
formed what has been known as the in
surgent army to enforce the peoples will
and drive out the dictator. They have
apparently won, and if their position is
correctly stated all Americans will re-
joice at triumph Of republican princi-
pies.

As we were loafng about the fire at
the club the other evening the talk
turned on absent mindedness and
some very good yarns we're spun.
One, of a prominent artist of Boston,
whose name is familiar but will be
suppressed out Of consideration for his
family. He is so absent minded that
his wife is obliged to watch him as she
would a child to see that he is prop
erly dressed before he leaves the house.
On one occasion he was TO go to re-
ception and she elsewhere. She Sc
lected shirt for him, put the studs in
the bosom and laid the shirt on the top
Of all the others in the drawer. Then
she laid out his dress suit and other
belongings and was on the point Of
going away when the weeks wash
came from the laundry.
This she opened and disposed of, all
but one shirt, which had collapsed, as
shirts will, in the hands of the laundry
men. The bosom had parted company
with the body and it was hopeless.
This she tossed onto the bed, intend
ing it for the rag bag. Then she went
serenely in pursuit of her engagement
When her husband returned from the
reception that night she was Mortified
to find that he had worn this wreck In
the face of all the world and had not
known it.--Detroit Free Press.

An wreathed around with Virgins bower
And gay with cglantine,
All overarchcd with laughing leaves
And verdant with tho vine;
Through memory's mists you rise as fair
AZ when with Mary Jane
I found your pitfalls porilous,
o dear old Lovers lane.
srwas there that Cupid kept his court,
Twas there his arrows hung
Above our happy, needless heads
The budding boughs among.
Tho many a cruel wound WAS dealt
Full many q fear was slain.
While lad and lassie loitered there
In dear old Lovers lane.
Twas there we put the purple on,
And breathed loves ampler air,
Twas there kiss conferred a crown
Upon a royal pair.
Twas there our TOO fond hearts forgot
Life's penury and pain,
And earth became Paradise
To as in Lovers lane.
An, me Beneath those bending boughs
Full many a ghost appears
or youthful hopes that sprang, alas
To perish, drowned In tears
We lind IN ruins buried there
The castles built IN Spain
Long. long ago. when Bweethearts strolled
At eve In Lovers lane.
Though hands and hearts grow gray. men go
All gladly back, IN dreams,
From youths lost glory yet 10 CLEAN
Some faint reflected beams;
E'en he who limps Life's path along,
What time faiths bitter rain
Beats round, recalls some rose that bloomed.
Long since in Lovers lane.

George III once gave hard hit at
Lord Kenyon, one Of the most uncom-
Portable noblemen in the English court
He came into the royal presence one
day in great excitement, and seeing the
surprise depicted on the face of the
monarch said in self defense;
II have lost my temper"
The king was quick at repartee, and
without waiting for the explanation
which was TO follow said;
II congratulate you, hope you will
find better one, for your old one was
the worst l ever knew"
The courtiers laughed, and even Lord
Kenyon could not hold out against the
general merriment. New York World.
