one of the children meets with an accident

In this letter she recites all the discom-
lorts Of an unfinished house -plastering
not dry, short OF wood, no men to cut wood,
or TO cart it, etc. The main stairs were
not up, and not a single apartment finished.
Six chambers only were made comfortable;
two of these were occupied as Executive
Departments. The oval room upstairs
was the drawing room, two rooms down
stairs were finished, one a parlor and one
Tor levees. The great unfinished drawing
room she made a drying room TO hang
clothes in; and yet, she scolds, ''12 years
have passed since it has been considered

DISLoYALTY-SPANI WAR CLAIM
ANTS--On the 18th instant Senate bill
1886 passed the Senate, providing for the
repeal of Section 4716, Revised Statutes, so
far as the same is applicable to the claims
of dependent parents Of soldiers, sailors.
and marines who served in the arpHW
navy during the Spanish war. The b1l
now goes to the House for consideration.
Section 4716, Revised Statutes, pro-
hibits the paymentof any money on account
of pension ito any person, or to the widow,
children, or heirs of any deceased person,
who in any manner voluntarily engaged in
or abetted the late rebellion against the
authority of the United States" The
report on the bill referred to indicates that it
is intended to cover the Philippine war, but
the text of the bill will not warrant such
construction.

Proposed New Thermometer Scale.

NJ. c. Mocquery, President of the Acad-
emie des Sciences, Paris, and of other learned
bodies, has proposed that weshould abandon
the conventional scales Of our thermometers
and adopt one starting from the absolute
zero of temperature which was so nearly
attained by Prof Dewar in his qualification
of hydrogen. This would be rational
and truly scientific scale. The absolute
zero corresponds TO the cessation of mole
cular vibration, and is calculated as 273
degrees below zero of the centigrade ther-
mometer With such scale the trouble
some negative degrees Cor below zero")
wouli be avoided and existing thermome-
ters could serve by altering their graduation.

and that Mr.. Carroll sold many Of his
broad acres with promises OF payment. ="
But that it was the intention of the Com
missioners or Gen. Washington that the
growth of the city should be to the east
ward ought to be of easy refutation, when
a moments thought is given to the loca-
ton of the White House, which preceded
that of the Capitol.
1t was constructed with a view to the
Executive Departments being under the
same roof as the home Of the President,
which has always been the case.
The name, white House." it is said,
had its origin from the old colonial estate
where the young widow Custis was living
with her two children when George Wash
ington first met her, and from which she
removed when she became his wife. Her
home was known as the white House"
The official name. 1.-The Executive Man
sion," has always an incongruous sound,
and really does not seem in keeping with
the home Of the Presidents family.
ii is altogether proper for official docu-
ments to emanate from the Executive De
partment, where the President and his Off
cial household Of secretaries, clerks, messen-
gers. etc, held forth; but why should the
wife Of the President be compelled TO have
all social documents, cards Of invitation,
personal stationery, cmblazoned Exec,i-
tive Mansion" meaning the workshop Of
the Nation?

which the Bishop and his secretary are quoted as
having declared that the taxes and fees for pres's
administrations in the Philippines are excessive
the writer remarks that the Bishop and his secre-
tarv were in the Philippines but very short time
No, over three or four days; that IL was Impossible
on account of the for them 10 get Information

that the people there had declared that the mis-
