A HANDSOME RESrDESCE-About five
wears ago SIR. Robert Portncr, Of Alexandria.
purchased small farm near here. Since
then he has purchased two other farms-'Li-
IBERIA and "Windcmere' a portion OF
the old yorkshire" cstate-containng in all
in the neighborhood OF one thousand acres,
which adjoin and which extend from the edge
of the town to Bull Run. a distance OF over
three miles. All these broad acres have been
brought TO 4 high state OF procuctivcness
since they came into Mr.. Portners possession.
They have been converted from old, half
titled fields. covered with stunted pines and
-hrubbery-among which the molly cotton
tail and the tootllsome quail, and even that
noble denzicn of the forest, the Wild turkey,
were, in times not long past, wont to disport
themselycs-int0 emerald-hued stretches of
VINEYARD and growing grain and grass that
apparently extend 20 and blend with the azure
circle formed by the Bull Run mountains not
far distant. They now form as pretty a
stretch OF country as one would wish TO be-
hold. Upon them, or that portion of them
nearest town, Mr.. Portner has had erected a
summer residence, that in point OF beauty
and style cannot be eXcelled; also fine stables
and carriage houses, and a tower which Is an
exact reproduction of one of the old German
towers of medieval times and which Is sug-
gestivc of the manner in which the knights
of old lived and their mode Of defense. In
the vicinity Of these buildings Mr.. Portncr
has had other improvements made. Around
about them gravel carriage and walk ways
have been laid ponds which are kept up by
wind-mils, and upon whose placid bosoms'
like silent scntinels, gracefully float snow
white swans. hsve been dug; enclosures III
which gambol heet-footed deer, have been
made. and exotic and native plants and
shrubbery of exquisite beauty have been
planted-lldndSSas Gazette.

CoNGREssIoNAL.-In the Senate yes.
terday five hours were spent in con-
sidering the tariff by sections, but no
progress was made. Senator Palmer
urged the speedy passage of the bill,
and Senator Allison offered an amend
ment striking out the date upon which
the bill should take effect and leaving
the date blank. The amendment was
Enacted on when the Senate adjourned.
The House was occupied on the con-
slIlar and diplomatic appropriation bill
Mr.. Hepburn attempted through an
amendment to cut OF all unofficial fees
of consuls of the first, second and third
classes. 1t was generally admitted on
both sides OF the House that there
should be some reform in the fee sys-
TEN which obtains in the consular
service but the democrats contended
that to cut off these fees without due
consideration by placing a rider on an
appropriation bill would be a blow in
the dark, and might do more harm than
good. The amendment was lost by
practically strict party vote.

a MILE 4 M1SurE.-A Welsh engineer
has prepared designs FOR vessel which he
claims will attain speed Of 60 miles an hour,
says the St. Louis POst-Dispatct. His proposed
vessel is fat-bottomed, $50 feet long, 80 feet
in width, wedge-shaped at each end for 10o
feet of her length, with displacement OF
some 1860 tons Such vessel. fitted with
I6 paddle wheels, driving at 10 revolutions
a minute, this sanguine inventor believes,
would be propelled through the water at the
rate of 60 miles an hour. This would be
breaking the record with vengeance, for the
Lucania, which has just eclipsed all previous
performances. averaged barely y miles an
hour. The JIG paddle wheels OF the proposed
express passenger steamer would be placed
eight on each side, one behind the other in a
water channel running fore and aft just above
the ships bottom. They are of peculiar
construction. the paddle always maintaining
perpendicular position, and always entering
and leaving the water at exactly the same
point.

a GREAT 'miration" has been created
by Senator Morgan's recent assertion
that money was spent to elect Mr..
Cleveland President, but why, no body
can tell, Tor what the Senator said last
Saturday at Montgomery, was said all
over the country year and half age.
Then, too, though some money may
have been spent to elect Mr.. Cleve-
land, a great deal more was spent to
nominate him. Wall street subscribed
large sums to nominate both Mr.. Har-
rison and 3Ir. Cleveland, but very lit

it did not hesitate to express, that both
were its friends. and that ii would be
well satisfied with either.

Mr.. Vance, and whose credentials had
been presented few days ago, was
present and ready to take the oath.
The Vice President thereupon requested
the appointed Senator to advance and
take the oath: and the new Senator,
escorted by Mr. Ransom, went to the
secretary's desk and had the oath ad-
ministered TO him. II taking it he
held up his left hand, his right arm

Mr.. Aliens resolution of yesterday as
to the right of Coxey and his followers
to visit the Capitol, to assemble and pc
tition for q redress of grievances, having
been laid before the Senate, Mr.. Vest
deprecated its Introduction. and in
sisted that the persons referred TO
should be treated like all other per-
sons. But if the resolution was meant
to include men who had trampled On
the laws. and had seized private prop
erty and undertaken to secure trans
portation to Washington by force of
arms, he dissented from any such
proposition. Those who had violated
the law must abide the consequences:
and the issue should be met right here
and now The resolution was de-
nounced in still more vigorous terms
BY Mr.. Wolcott. II the newspaper ac-
counts were true, ne said, those persons
were coming to Washington, some
peaceably, on foot, some by stolen rail-
road trains. some by begging,
some by means furnished by others,
and ali of them for no useful
purpose. Attention had been given
to these bands by State Governors. His
own State of Colorado was suffering
from a Governor whose vagaries and
antics had brought discredit and dis
honor on the commonwealth.
Mr. Dclph also denounced the reso-
lutions, and }Ir. Allen defended them
and expressed his surprise at the OPP
position made to them. He spoke Of
he movement as IA spontaneous up
rising of American citizens oppressed
and wronged." He was asked by Mr..
Wolcott whether that remark applied
10 the men who stole the railroad train
at Butte, Montana. and killed two
deputy marshals. Bat Nh Allen de-
clned to allow the Colorado Senator to
choose his ground of attack and said
that he had not heard of that occur
renee when ne offered the resolution.

which, in accordance with the plan
adopted by the managers of that party,
he attributed the present disturbed

ed signal national victories by promis-
ing TO repeal that bill, and though, as
amended, that bill provides for tariff
higher even than the war tariff. Mr..
