was exceedingly abstemious when COM
pared with other men. AS matter of
fact, do not believe that he had any
special liking for strong drink, but felt
1T incumbent upon him to take part in
the social customs of the day.
Senator Robert looms of Georgia
was in those days frequent and well
come visitor at the houses in that row.
He was one of the most charming, mild
hammered gentlemen have ever known.
1t is true that in the senate chamber
and upon all public occasions he appear
ed as man of extreme independence of
character and of absolute independence
of utterance; but in private life, in his
! own home, he was one of the most UMPIRE
] tentious, quiet and lovable men l have
ever known. There was prevailing i'm
preston that he at one time said that he
would 'call the roll of his slaves on Bun
ker Hill under the shadow of the monu-
ment;' but Senator looms never said
anything of the kind. He was constant
ly saying sarcastic and bitter things con-
| cernlng the aboltionis.s of that day, and
that expression, which was invented by
some writer of the time, seemed so char
acteristic of the man that it was gener-
ally accepted as true that he had made
such an expression. He was always ag-
gressive and alert concerning the inter-
ests of his state and the southern sec
ton of the country. He was always a
gentleman, and never so offensive as to
| give utterance to remark which would
have made him disagreeable to gentle
men with whom he constantly associated
on terms of personal friendship.
another thing that appears to me as
remarkable is the change which has oc-
Cured in official life in the national cap
ital. In the days before the war it was
customary for gentlemen from the south
who came to Washington as members of
the house of representatives or as SEN
ators each to bring with him young
man who was to act as private secretary
for the purpose of being trained in poll
tics, because politics was the gentleman
" profession of the southern people at
that time. The private secretary of a
representative or of a senator was re-
| garded as a student Of politics, and his
standing was such as student of Yale
or Harvard might obtain in the cities
where those institutions are. According
to his family history and ancestry
and his own personal merit the
private secretary of senator or rep.
resentative was received IN society, and
he was regarded as highly. favored
gentleman. Nearly all OF those young
men achieved or attained distinction as
officers and soldiers in the confederate
army during the civil war, and num-
her Of them have become members of
congress since that confictsclosed."

OLD TIMES IN WASHINGTON.
AS 1T ONCE WAS AT THE NATIONAL
CAPITOL.
Customs Change With the Xears--socia
and Official Life Before the War.

From the Philadelphia Times.
'The residence of Archbishop satolli
was formerly the residence of Stephen A.
Douglass" said gentleman who has
been a frequent sojourner at Washington
during the past forty years. ST was wel
acquainted with Senator Douglass, and
often had the pleasure of calling upon
him in that house. 1t was one of a row
of three houses, all of them residences of
senators. do not know how the name
came to be applied to those houses, but
in the fiftles they were called Minnesota
row. Senator Douglass lived on the cor
ner. Senator Rice of Minnesota lived
next to him and Senator John G. Brock
inridge of kentucky occupied the third
house. They were regarded at that time
as among the handsomest and most
fashionable houses in the District of
Columbia. Although they are in a thick
ly settled part of the national capital to-
day, at that time they were surrounded
by woods, common pastures and all other
evidences of suburban residence.
"People nowadays have a distorted
idea of the hospitality of ante-bellum
times. The truth Is, the customary hos
pitality of the national capital was south
ern hospitality, and it was vastly differ
ent from the society and social customs
of the present day. At that time if
any man had expended $500 or 81, 900 or
| SIS, 600 upon an entertainment of one
evening he would have been regarded
as unfit for association with leading men
and women of that day. The mere ex-
penditure of large sums of money would
/ have savored too much of the shop and
of the salesman.
"Senator Douglass was one of the most
| charming entertainers have ever known.
In common with other prominent men
Of the day, he had his regular servants,
and they served refreshments such as
were in those days to be found in the
homes of the PLAIN people and
of the leading people of the coun
lfry. No one ever heard of sci
Islilted manner, such as prevail at the
present time. The entertain nents were
of primative nature; that is to say, they
were of homelike nature.
81 want to tell you one thing concern
ing Senator Douglass which ought to b.
known to all men. The prevailing i'm
preston, ard one that has long prevail
ed. is that Senator Douglass was given Il
habits of overindulgence in strong drink
know that to be an erroneous idea. III

Nerves are weak, many people say,
and yet they do not seem to know

not give proper sustenance- that is
why you are nervous, tired, exhausted.

The friends Of Nicola Tesla, the cleo
trical wizard, are saying he has develop
ed the x ray idea until he-is now able
to pass solid through solids, and had
gone so far as to patent his inventions
before giving them to waiting world.
Tesla was asked about his new dis
coveries. He would only say that he was
working quietly, and had strong hopes
Of developing something valuable. He
declared he was not through with his in
vestigations, and could make nothing
public. The idea of forcing solids
through solids badly expressed what he
was trying to do, unless ether was con-
sidered solid, which it was, scientifcal-
~ considered.
He excused himself from talking fur
ther about his discoveries by saying it
had ever been his practice to give the
public the news only after he had made
it known through a.scientif1c society. 1t
was also reported that Tesla had sue
ceeded in photosraphing the human
brain through the skull. This the cleo

CHANGES AT HARVARD.
Vote by the Faculty Co Reduce Length Of
Study In the College.

Study In the Colleges
For two weeks there has bean sharp
debate in the Harvard faculty on the
proposition to reduce the course of study
in the college from four to three years.
The Sun reporter learned on the best
authority that some action was taken at
the last faculty meeting, and President
Eliot. when asked concerning the mat
ter, admitted that fact. He said the
faculty had voted by a small majority
to reduce the number Of courses required
for degree from 8 to 15, and that the
idea was that any man who had passed
IL of the 10 courses with credit should
receive his degree.
This means three years course for
the college and a dissolution of all the
class lines and class feeling. The ma
jority in favor of the motion, however,
was so small that the vote was not con-
sidered final. The scheme will have to
be approved by the corporation and
board of overseers before it can 60 into
effect. Members Of the faculty who OPP
posed the plan think that the action
would be a mistake and predict that if
it passes favorably it will bring on
storm of indignation from graduates. -

The commonly accepted belief is that

There is, however, no direct Bible au-

Of the Scriptures as guide, he calcu-
lated as best he could the supposed age
Of the world, and he made 1t 4,004

That Swell Count d'OrsAy.

Mr.. Newton Grassland, whom tho
count once took into dinner, remarked
that his hands, Large, white and appaI-
emily soft had not the physiognomy
which pleases the critical observer and
student Of hands, for they indicated
self indulgence. He struck her, more.
over, as being ''lnannish rather than
manly, and yet with touch of effem'
macy quite different from that woman
like tenderness which adds to the excel
lence of man." Thackeray met the
splendid humbug in 1850 and describes
him az ''living in a charming atelier,
which he has fitted up for himself with
arms and trophies, pictures and looking
glasses. the tomb of Blessington, the
sword and star Of Napoleon, and cru.
oifix over his bed. And here he dwells, !"
writes tho cynio. ''without any doubts
or remorses, admiring himself in the
most horrible pictures which he has
painted. and statues which he gets done
for him."
The count had received within IL
months of his marriage sum Of e20,.
0O0. while Lord Blessington arranged
that after his decease a similar sum
should be settled upon him for life. So
generous dower-a genuine pretium
Quellm, as it was-might have made
him kindly disposed toward his child
wife, who, three years after her mar
rage. when she had reached the age OF
10 grew to be a remarkably handsome
woman. Not for her was the "brilliant
wit' and wonderful fascination"
which made D'Orsay tho pct of society.
That was reserved for others.
INSTEAD Of being the wife Of her hus-
band and the mistress Of her home, she
found herself supernumerary in u cir.
Gle with which she had no sympathy.
Oisagreements followed, rebellion set
in, aud in the autumn of 1881 she and
Count d'Orsay separated by mutual
consent.
