thrown Upon the 6eacn 4,l. n. r1o,crocs
man Worthington was made repre-
sentative from Nevada near the close
of the civil war and he arrived in Wash
1ngton just in time to take part in the
proceedings necessary to the adoption
of the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to secure which Nevada was made
q state. Afterwards he represented the
United States in Uruguay and the Ar
gentine Republic. He was selected to
serve as pallbearer for Abraham Lin
coin during the brief time of his service
in the house. He is to-day the sole sur
vivor Of those who bore the body of the
martyred president to his grave. There
10 little left for, the old man now. He is
poverty stricken and i'll and yet he con-
tinues to hold the regard of those men,
bers Of congress who remember what he
was and who help him to exc out scanty
existence by giving odd jobs about the
capitol. In all his misfortune this vener-
able derelict has kept up his good
spirits and has not lost the power to en-
tertain. He has seen many interesting
men and scenes and he knows how to
tell about them. In his earlier days he
was said to be strikingly handsome and
extremely popular. That may be easily
Imagined by one who sees him now, for
he has the fading memory of such things

when ne made one
Of the happiest responses imaginable,
catching his auditors, who included the
leaders of congress and other prominent
men, with the aptness and thorough good
feeling of his remarks. He had been in
the United States less than week and he
had hardly freed himself of his sea legs.
He knew nothing about American habits
and traditions except what he had read
in the somewhat uncongenial atmos-
phere OF Persia, India and Madrid. Yet
he showed an appreciation of American
ways that some foreign representatives
spend years in Washington without ac-
quiring. It is little Of puzzle to the
new ambassador that so many Amer
leans seem to have the faculty of public
speech. In his own country 1t is not near
ly SO frequently found as here, and the
readiness and aptness Of the average
Yankee on his feet are source of con-
tinual- amazement to him. Probably
after he has been here awhile and has
made few after: dinner speeches in his
own tactful vein he will be less at loss
to account for the universally OF
talent which he has possessed uncon-
sciously all these years. Sir Mortimer Is
assured already Of great popularity In
Washington, and from present prospects
he will occupy worthily the place left
vacant by the demise of Pauncefote and
Herbert, two of the most attractive per-
sonalities who have ever graced the
Washington diplomatic colony.

game and vegetables Of the eastern
shore. The, biggest of the markets is the
Center market, which occupies two OF
the most sitely squares in the center OF
the city not far from the Pennsylvania
railroad station and which pays the Dis
trict of Columbia yearly rental of ST.
900 for the plot under 99-year lease.
That is about as profitable proposition
as anybody could ask for. A renta,
of 100000 for those particular squares
would not be an unreasonable price, but
the District has to grin and bear 1t. At
the time the Center; market was es-
tablish it was really something of an
achievement for the District to lease tho
land at all, so that perhaps nobody after
all has been seriously wronged. An In
teresting feature of the markets here, not
only the Center market, but the others.
is the great number Of typical southern
darkies who have stands on the streets
adjoining. These sable, venders have oc-
cupied their stands, coming In from the
country early in the morning year in and
wear out, until they have a proscriptive
right and nobody would ever think OF
ousting them. They form q picturesque
body which makes it we'll worth the
while of northern visitor to stroll about
the markets along about daybreak, be-
fore the business Of the streets has be-
gun to rush. It is about the only SUR
vival we have of the old southern GUS
toms and ways. For Washington Is
rapidly becoming northern town in all
It's habits.

been one of the managing men of con-

old man, yet his mind is as clear and Wig

ripened and enriched it. He is as quick
