WESTINGHOUSE FAREWELL.
The Address is Read i'm the Senate
Today by w. p. Frye, Presi-
dent Pro Tenn.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 22.-The Sen
ate met today to listen to the reading Of
Washington's farewell address by Sena-
tor Frye, the president pro tenn. of the
Senate. This was in accordance with a
resolution previously introduced by Sen
ator Hoar and was proceeded with inn
mediately after the conclusion OF the
reading of the journal of Thursday.
The vice-president occupied the seat
of the presiding officer and Mr.. Frye
took his position behind the secretary, S
desk, thus facing the entire Senate, He
read from an old volume, printed III large
type, and without any special effort
filled the large chamber with his reso,
nant voice so that the patriotic and well
rounded sentences were heard py I'LL tne
large audience present.
The reading of the journal and of the
address was preceded by prayer by Dr.
Wallace Radcliffe, pastor OF the New
York Avenue Presbyterian church, VINO
asked God to "bless Grover Cleveland,
the President of the United States, and
referring to Washington, returned spe-
cial thanks ''for him whose, name is IN
his memory and for the inspiration OF his
life and example"
On motion of Mr.. Perkins U,ep., CALI
the prayer was ordered to be printed III
the Record. There was a liberal attend
ance of senators and the only vacant
seats in the galleries were in the d!plo-
matte and Senate sections. The diplo-
matte gallery was entirely vacant, but
almost all the seats in the gallery set
apart for the families of the senators
were taken. The Vice-President,s was
entirely filled and the Presidents was
also occupied. Many presented them
selves for admission to the popular gal
leries before the time of opening the
doors and they continued to arrive SO
that large number were prevented
from gaining admission.
Close attention was given to the read
ing by both the senators and other audi
tors, rendering the ceremony thoroughly
impressive. and none the less so on &C
count of the simplicity and the absence
of ostentation by which it was marked.
At the conclusion of the reading of the
address, Mr.. Gray Dem, Deli moved
that vote of thanks of the Senate be
rendered to Mr.. Frye for the admirable
manner in which he had read the adj
dre&. The motion was carried unanl-
mously and then at 1851 p. M, on mo-
tion of Mr. Hoar, the Senate adjourned
until Monday.
Mr. Garter gave notice of the post
ponement of his address, heretofore an
nounced for Monday. on his motion to
recommit the tariff bill, until Wednes-
day of newt week.

was a memhor Of the famous Frenc
family, and the child OF this union,
daughter, was welded to one OF tn
noted ROthschilds, the family who's
wealth Is In the untold millions.
| While her grandchildren were livin,
at her home Mrs. Eaton sent them {.
dancing school to an Italian master
who was about 20 and whose name wa.
Buchignani. One day the young man
visited the house and it seems that
the elderly lady was ut once smitten
with his charms, for In a short while
1t was announced that she was to
marry him.
The wedding took. place, though
the bride was 60 and old enough to be
the grandmother of the man she Sc
lectcd to be her husband. For some
years all went well, when in selling
on part Of the block which had com.
posed her property the young Italian
took several thousand dollars and
clopcd with one OF the grandchildren
Of his wife, the pair making their
home in Canada.
Mrs. Buchignani was now in a state
Of distress, her husband having made
away with her money, which reduced
her to poverty. For the sake Of her
grandchildren she secured a divorce
from the italian, hut her life was now
on the downward path. Almost In
want, she took simple hall room In
poor part Of the city, and she, who
had been the most beautiful and
courted woman In the most brilliant
OF foreign courts, who had broken up
the cabinet OF nation, and made and
marred the fortunes OF the statesmen
Of the young republic, died in poverty
in the humblcst OF lodgings in the
city in which she has scored her tri.
umphs.
The property, or most Of it, whicl,
was purchased by Mr.. Gadsby is still
In the family, ono OF the daughters
having married a gentleman named
McBlair. Mrs. McBlair, who is an
Did lady Of strikingly handsome ap.
pearance, still lives In the house
which was once part Of the O'Neill
estate, and In her family are still pre-
served the silver and china used by
Mr.. Gadsby when he entertained
General Lafayette during the visit of
,he latter to America. Probably no
louse In Washington ever saw SO
many famous people, or such strange
vents, as those which grew from the
'ewitching beauty OF the lovely Peggy ,

read In the Book Of books,
OF place far beyond the blue sky,
Where nobody ever gets sick,
And where no one ever has to die.
II tells me no pain Is felt
BY the people who live up there,
And sorrow ne'er enter the heart
In that lovely and gloriaed sphere.
Tread In this good old Book
That none mp there ever cry.
They are always so happy and bright
That tear cannot come to their eye.
They tell me no parting Ia known
In this far Oh beautiful land,
But people dwell together forever.
A joyous and loving happy band.
The Book says this place has a city.
Whose walls are OF jasper and pearl,
Through the midst of II runs pure river,
And its streets are paved with fine gold
II says In this city the people
Know hunger and thirst no more,
For the Lamb that was slain, doth feed them,
And leads them where living springs now.
We are told there are lovely fields there,
Arrayed In magnificent green.
And the beautiful landscapes are
by the people externally seen.
