Journalistic Luxury.

La Prensa of Buenos Aires, which has announced its intention of ignor- ing all news emanating from the Ger man embassy in Washington, is prob ably the most sumptuously housed journal in the world. Apart from a number of spacious and luxuriously furnished rooms for the accommoda- tion of the staff, the Presna offices comprise a well equipped library open to the general public and a suite of reception rooms where dances are pe- riodically given.

A short time where one of his messmates, knowing that I was from Rhode Island, asked me to take a small package, 1t being the only thing found in his knapsack after the battle, and forward it to his family, which have agreed to do, but from yourself. If you will give me the information, or inform his friends that they may call at office of steam mill when at Providence, you will much oblige.'
 The foregoing is the substance of the letter and I hasten to comply with his request, by informing you of the fact. Having known Frank, your son, when at Westerly, I am anxious to do all can for him or his parents, as believe him to be a brave and manly son, worthy of his sire and of his country, who braved the cannon s mouth to defend those liberties handed down by our forefathers; and I hope that at all times and under all cir cumstances my hands may ever be open to dd and assist what I can to help the feelings of his parents at such 8 time: and salso to better the conditions under the severe trials to which his bravery and his love of country has brought him. May he re- turn to you to make your future years
