carried away when q new President was
inaugurated. There was a little old furni-
ture which dated back to Lincoln's time,
perhaps a little before, and a very few
pieces of rare old china which could be
traced to Jefferson's day, little that Dolly
Madison used, some of that left by the
Lncolns, Grants, Hayes and a few
Arthur pieces, and that was about the ex-
tent of it.
Mrs. Harrison felt that future genera
tons would like to know what had been
used in the White House, and she set about
hunting up lot Of pieces which she knew
to be scattered around over Washington in
the hands of Department clerks and fav-
orites. Whenever piece got the tiniest
scratch or nick, it was legitimate prey,
and there were hundreds of people waiting
to secure the same at really good prices.
1t is said that in earlier days the servants
made an excellent income from selling
pieces of White House china which became

GEN. A. V. RICE DEAD.
Another Gallant officer Of the War Of the
Rebellion Mustered Into the Grand Army
Aboye-His Splendid Career.

In the death of Gen. Americas " Rice,
which occurred in his apartments in Wash
ington. Monday morning, April 4, there
passes away one of the gentlest and most
loyable of men, who was a soldier OF the
highest gallantry and fortitude He was
born in Ohio. the son of the Hon. Clark
Rice. prominent banker of Putnam Co.,
and graduated from Delaware University.
Immediately upon the breaking out of the
Ohio, a three months regiment and with it

participated in the campaisl by which the
Secessionists were driven out of West
Virginia. Upon being mustered out, he
raised company for the 57th Ohio which
became one of the best; Regiments sent out

TO take command Of tIe regiment under
fire. and held it 50 web and gailantly that
he was promoted to Lieutenant ( olOnel
He was severely wounded in the engage
ment but retained the command and his
place on the field until the end Of the bat
tie. Thence forward Ae commanded the
9th Ohio and with it took a prominent
share in every engagement of the Army
Of the Tennessee, being promoted to Colo
mel May "a, 1868. lie was again severely
wounded at ticksburg. and in the desper-
ate assault on kenesaw he received n
wound which caused the loss Of his leg.
As soon rs he was able to use a crutcli,
however, he returned to the field, and took
part in the final operations of the war
He was promoted to Brigadier-G General
May 81, 1865, and mustered out of service
Jan. H. 1866. He was offered n commits
sion in the Regular Army. but declined it
TO enter political life. The popularity
gained in the wide circle at home and in
the army from his gallant and distin-
guished services and his natural worth Of
character, promised him a bright political
future. He became a banker Of Ottawa,
Ohio. and took an active interest in poll
tics on the Democratic side, being a dele
gate to the Democratic National Conven-
tions. HE was elected to the 44th Con-
gress, and reelected to the 45th, where he
served on the Committee on Invalid Pen
sions. and was largely Instrumental in Sc
curing for the veterans the b1ssage of
the Arrears bill. The Democrats nomi-
mated him for Lieutenant Governor of
Ohio with Gen. Thomas Ewing at the
head, but he was defeated in the famous
Greenback Campaign by Rutherford B.
Hayes and Thomas l.. Young, which re-
| suited in Gen. Hayes being elected Presi-
dent Of the United States. President
Cleveland appointed him Pension Agent
at Columbus, Ohio. which position he re-
tanned until some time after the incoming
OF the Mckinley Administration, when he
was made Disbursing Clerk of the Census

A strong effort is being made to have
Congress acquire an old park ont toward
Bladensburg, as home for ex-volunteer
soldiers of the war of the rebellion. There
is little bit of temporary home here
where stranded veterans can be cared for
a few days ut time, but it is altogether
inadequate for the purpose. and, beside,
it is necessary TO have a home where vet
Grams can stay while in the city trying to
get their pensions through. Hundreds of
such veterans come here each year, filled
with hope. but bringing very little money
with them. In few weeks hope and
money are both gone, and they have to De

which is very severe drain OH the re-
sources of small Department. Wash
ington ought to have fine home of this
character. and members of Congress
should be urged to vote for such meas
ure.
Senator Patterson Coli is very much
exercised over the Chinese exclusion mat
ter. He is afraid that If Congress does
not take some action at this session that
on the expiration of the treaty in De-
cember next the United States will leave
the door wide open for the entrance of
all who want to come. He has introduced
bill to amend the act. which will get
around such a catastrophe.
Acting Postmaster General Wynne has
issued an order calling the attention of
Postmasters TO the terms of the statutes
now in force extending the franking
privilege to Mrs. Lucretia II. Garfield and
Mrs. Ida S. Mckinley, widows of the late
Presidents. There is a striking difference
in the two acts. The one of Dec 20, 1881,
under which Mrs. Garfield has enjoyed
the franking privilege. allows free car
riage i'll the mails of all mail matter sent
to her and sent out by her under her au-
tograph signature, while the Act of Jan.

has had the franking privilege, limits the

are fervently hoping that he will turn
his attention elsewhere. His motives
may be good, but his ideas are in

our peace of mind. Whether this
letter is to pave the way for a bundle

something that is causing US no little

to Jim Cooper, Of Inde-
