1t VIII be noted from hSures given above
that there has been decrease in cattle
receipts, but large gain, in the arrival of
hogs.
CATTLE-The week closed with a light
run of cattle even for n Saturday, only
eighteen fresh loads being in sight. There
were not enough of any one kind of cattle
to make much of test of the market.
The buyers took what there We're at good
strong prices and the trade was soon over.
1t is remarked that buyers do not appear to
take to heavy beeves this fall and there are
some who are free to predict that big,
heavy cattle will not command the pre-
MUM over light cattle that they have in
past years The demand has called for
cattle of medium weight but of good finish,
while heavy weights have been neglected so
seriously that they have been extremely
hard to sell, even in eastern markets, at
anything like satisfactory prices This is
generally the rule during a season when
feed is. plenty and cheap. Stockmen are
apt to feed longer, because that Is the best
investment they can make or their corn.
The result is that too many heavy cattle
are thrown on the market. Representative

his former environment. The visitor
goes through the old mansion. He
looks into the little, stuffy rooms with
their odd and incongruous mixture Of
old and up-to-date furniture. He gaZes
at the elegant and extremely modern
tinted and gold frescoes. at the rich
and brilliant Persian rugs with which
the ladies OF the association have COW
cred the floors, and he finds IL difficult
to imagine this the home OF the immor-
tai Washington. To most visitors II
seems a great pity that there has been
such an effort made to impress the pub
lie with the fact that Washington led a
luxurious life by means of the rich and
modern trappings they have smuggled
into the old mansion. The splendor Of
Washington's life at Mount Vernon was
reflected by his broad acres, by his
hundreds of negroes, including arti-
sans and mechanics of all kinds, by the
wealth Of his hospitality and the mag
nificence Of his military and official
career. There were no frescoes of gilt
and tints in Washington's day-no wall
paper, even. There was nothing but
whitewashed walls and ceilings. Nor
were there any Darghestan rugs or AK
minister carpets.
There is an outbuilding on the
grounds, which should have given the
well-meaning ladies a hint as to what
the father of his country used TO cover
his floors. The building is called the
spinning room" and in II is a great
loom for weaving the good old FASH
Toned rag carpets Of our forefathers.
Aside from these incongruities, how
ever, the old mansion is an interesting,
almost hallowed spot. There are not
so many relics of Washington but what
there are are full of interest The bed
upon which he died, sent by the Lee
family, and the other furniture con-
tributed by various families, have ena-
bled the ladies in control to fit up Wash
ington's chamber very nearly as il was
when its great occupant passed away.
There are good many other relics on
view, but not many that are, strictly
speaking, relics of Washington. There
is plenty of colonial furniture, but
Washington never saw it. There are
portraits, engravings, etc., and a valu-
able collection of Washington's auto
graph letters, which are mounted in the
former state dining room. There are
two or three swords, suits of military
clothing, articles of camp equipage and
brown suit of clothes, the cloth of

One Of the most conspicuous figures in tho
Stageland of America to-day Is John w.

York city forty-six years ago, the friends
OF his youth were Thomas W., Keene and
Frank Chanfrau. We find Keene star at
the age of % and Norton in the flower OF
early manhood, the leading man for Edwin
Booth at the famous Winter Garden Thea

leading roles with Charles Thorne at the
Variety theater in New Orleans. Early in
the Centennial year, in Louisville, Norton
met cur Mary Anderson, then fair young
girl who aspired for stage fame, took her
under his guidance and, as everybody
knows, led her to fame. MIR. Norton is now
the proprietor of the Grand Opera House in
st. Louis, the Du Quesne Theatcr, Pitts
burg, and one of the stockholders in the
American Extravaganza Company.
One afternoon early in June he hobbled
Into his New York Office on Broadway and
encountered his business manager, George
McManus, who had also been rheumatic
sufferer for two years. Norton was sur
prised that McManus had discarded his
cane. 'Whocured you2" he asked. II cured

Learning How to Write.


Ethel. according to her own school
girl phrasing. "hated" to write COM
positions, and her dislike was about
evenly divided between the burden of
selecting her own subject and the
embarrassment of having one chosen
for her. In the first case she never
knew what to take, and in the last,
the teacher, according to her
prejudiced fancy, seemed bound to
select the very topic about which she
knew nothing, and in which she had
no interest. Finally on a miserabl
Saturday when her composition was,
after much tribulation, finished, she
freed her mind to Aunt Laura.
Nothing to write about?" said
auntie. Dear me, what a pity, in
this big world full of interesting
things! l suppose you have such a
dull time that nothing worth telling
ever happens to YOU"
''Oh, no, it isn't that" said Ethel
Lots of things happen, but nothing
important enough to write about.
Why, our compositions have to be
read before the whole school, and
how the girls would laugh if l should
get up and give an account of some Of
our larlEs!''
Now, I'll tell you what I'd do, I"
said Aunt Laura; I'd keep n note

Like Hawthorne's?n
'Well, dare say it would be rather
different from his, and so it ought to
be. You must write in it the inter-
esting things that happen to you, and
put them down in your own way.
Make up your mind not to show the
book, and then you won't be tempted
into affectation. Don't moralize, and
don't indulge in reflections, if you
can help it.
"Why, l shouldn't even know how
to begin"
I'm show you. A dozen times a
day you tell me things that interest
me greatly. Think of that country
walk You were so happy over last
week. When you got home you de-
scribed the blue sky with its little
tufts of woolly clouds, the bank
where you found hepaticas; you told
me exactly how you scraped away
the dead leaves, and what a ridicu-
lous time you had in trying to beg q
string at the farmhouse.
Then you repeated the story Of

way home, and said she remarked, as

But couldn't put that in q COM
posit on!'
Perhaps not, but the habit of writ
ing will not only help you to gain
fiuency in the use of the pen, but il
will teach you to observe.
Besides, you will have in your
note book stock of material to
which you can turn when you have
nothing TO say.
Remember, above all things, to
put down only the exact truth-for
nothing that has not the ring of real
ity is worth preserving-and not to
indulge in general reflections that
had become common-places before
you were born"
The b@olI was bought, and Ethel,
with few relapses, kept it zealously.
At the end of six months she declared
that the plan was a splendid" one.
Perhaps other young folks, forced to
become writers against their will,
might think so, too.-Youth's Com

Alexandria leads through historic
ground. To the right, and prominent
in the landscape, is the tall splre Oh
the Episcopal Theological Seminary
which was the focal point OF McCiei-
lans army when the later was organ
izing for the Chickahominy campaign.
Around IL on all sides were the camps
of the army. The numerous remains
of their retrenchments, earthworks ana
other defenses are still prominent at
every turn for miles. Union forts
frowned from every hilltop and their
outlines are yet plainly distinguish
able. Just beyond the seminary. in
plain view up the valley. is Bailey

soldier of the Army of the Potomac
as the scene Of the grandest military
spectacle ever witnessed on this con-
tinent, the review by Mr.. Lincoln and
his cabinet vi Mcclellan army, when
he had pronounced 1t ready for the i'll
starred march to Richmond.
But there are many points of earlier
interest. To the right, as the trolley"
crosses the bridge over Great Hunting
Creek, is Fort Lyons, the strongest Of
all that great Gordon which protected
Washington in the war days. Near
Fort Lyons is the old home still stand
ing of the seventh Lord Fairfax-Rev.
Brian Fairfax, who in Washington's
days was rector Of Christ Church at
Alexandria, Of which Washington was
a vestryman. The church Is still one Of
the cherished landmarks in Alexandria,
and the edifice with Washington's big
square pew is carefully preserved in
tact. Lord Fairfax's home was called
Mount Eagle, and 1t is still In excellent
preservation. A mile beyond the
bridge and the road enters the "old
Mount Vernon estate, which in WASH
ington's day comprised 5000 acres of as
