Although the politics OF the present day depresses
and saddens her this one-tme mistress Of the
White House takes lively interest in current
events and her comments show that she pos
sesses both wisdom and profound comprehen-
sion of intricate political matters. Mrs. Sempie
Is most interesting. however. when she speaks
OF the past and chats Of the great men who live
In history.
OF course. being a virgnan. her sympathies
were with the South, and during the Civil War
she suffered loss Of kinsmen and OF property
but she tells with pardonable pride Of the affec-
ton for her distinguished father felt by the
peop'e in the North. and few days since in a
reminiscent mood illustrated it by the following
story:
when | decided to return from the North to
Virginia in 1861, thirty-fivc boys from West
Point, who had resigned because Of their South
ern sympathes, led by my nephew William c.
Waller. trooped into the hot i where l was stay
ing on the way. Colonel Blank, one OF the Off
GERS from the Military School, who happened to
be present, said to me:

"'Well,' said Colonel Blank. tell him love

custom Of having music by the Marine Band
at the Presidents house en- Saturdays and at
the Capitol Ell Wednesdays which is still fol-
lowed. Thousands are attracted by these free

behavior being the only requisite for admission

The silly rumor that the Diplomatic Corps as
a body had agreed to ostracize Senior Aspiroz
for his participation in the trial of Macmillan
was of course. absolutely without foundation,
and born Of the ignorance Of the people who cir
culated it. As is widely known, the Belgian and
Austrian legations have never had any inter
course with the diplomatic representatives Of
Mexico since the terrible tragedy which resulted
in the death of the Emperor and the insanity Of
the Empress Charlotte, and it is generally UNI
derstood at the capital that the ENJOYS from
these three Powers never to be invited at the

The Presidents selection Of John A. Merritt.
Third Assistant Postmaster-General as post
master Of Washington. while it does not meet
with the approval Of certain local politicians, Is
regarded in official circles, where Mr.. Merritt is
known and where his high abilities are appreci-
ated as a most happy one. There Is always
more or less grumbling when the local candi-
dates for this important Office are passed by but
IT should be borne in mind that the postmaster
ship Of Washington Is more National than
local Office since 30 per cent Of the mail han
died in this Office is official mail Of the United
States Government.
The Washington postofce differs in character
from its sister offices throughout the United
States, and is in many ways unique. Located at
the seat Of government, its officials are in CEN
slant touch with their superior at the Postofhce
Department, and this and other advantages have
made il a model office. At the Postofiice Depart
ment it is called the kindergarten, because all
postmasters on their occasional pllgrimages to
Washington are instructed to study It's workings
and methods 1t is also an experimental Office

sonal attack upon him, as lie did
in his Dallas speech last week, does
not show the Honorable Senator up
in Il very good light. He has FREE
quently declined to meet Bailey in

gentleman's back is turned, he pro-
ceeds to attack him in the most
bitter manner. He even charges
that Bailey is no democrat, some
