!" HREE notes have come to me
because of mention the Ram
bier made a few weeks ago of
the Causten tomb in Congress
sional Cemetery. This indica-
ton of interest moved me to look up
some records relating to James H.
Causten. The chisel has written on
the vault that he was born at Balti-
more in 1888 and died at Washington
in 1874. The greater number of his
years were passed in the District his
town home being on the south side
of + street northwest, his lot begin

and having q width Of "a feet and 10

tel. He owned a place in the country

road WISCONSIN avenue). 1t had
frontage of quarter Of a mile on
that road and the north line of the
farm divided II from the grounds OF

Cathedral of SIS. Peter and Paul. 1t

The principals in the notorious affair

had much to do with bringing on the
Revolution.
Among the most interesting of all
the letters is that from Danton, per
haps the greatest member Of the Rev

4, 1893 He wrote "Citizeness, you

them not duplicated in any other

tain many contemporary issues of Of

phlets and political journals, as well
as memoirs. monographs, biographies

Mr.. Thachar spent many years as
sembling this material, intending even
tually to write history Of the French
Revolution, which he intended TO
treat from the standpoint of the per
sonalities of the revolutionists and
monarchists. He had begun to write
this history when he died. 1t will be
hardly possible hereafter for an in
tensive study of the French Revolu-
ton to be made without coming to
Washington and working with the
Thacher collection. 1t contains ma
terial which could be found no longer
at the scene of the events.
THE material relating to Columbus,
TO the early explorations of Amer
