Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

June rs, 1S65.-Charles Faulkner, for
mer United States Minister to France,
under the administration of President
Buchanan, was pardoned today by Pres
ident Johnson, after he had qualified
himself legally in accordance with the
Presidents recent amnesty proclama-
ton relating TO persons who have taken
part on the Southern side In the recent
War Between the States.
Mr.. Faulkner'S pardon was described
at the White House as having been
"gratuitously" extended by President
Johnson, in accordance with a promise
made to the wife of q diplomat by the
late President Lincoln. Friends of
President johnson say his action in this
instance speaks well for his opinion Of
Mr.. Lincoln, as we'll as for his own
goodness of heart" They declare that
thus far every suggestion, as well as
order, of the lamented President Lincoln
has been Sacredly carried into effect by
his successor, President Johnson.
President johnson has caught a severe
cold He was so much indiSpoSed today
that he was unable to receive visitors.
Col. Browning, his private secretary,
who has been i'll for several days, is still
confined to his room.
The new steamship line on the route
from Washington to Richmond went
into operation on schedule time this
morning as predicted. The steamer
Keyport left here at Z o'clock with pas
sengers and freight for the former capt.
tai Of the Confederate States.
For the present, until the railroad
from the Potomac River to Fredericks-
burg. Va, is put in running order, pas
sengers will be landed at Belle Plain and
will be taken from there by stage to
Fredericksburg, and from there to Rich
mond by rail, reaching the latter city
about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and
thus saving about nine hours over any
other line of travel between Washington
and Richmond. Passengers do all their
travelling in daylight.
Tickets are now being sold at the
Camden Station Of the Baltimore d
Ohio Railroad, in Baltimore, over this
route. When the passengers reach
Washington they are transferred by the
city railroad to the steamboat wharf.
For the present the Keyport will leave
here daily at Z o'clock. AS soon as the
railroad from the river to Fredericks-
burg is in working order another steam
boat will be added and two trips will be
made on this route every day.

The head turned toward where Peter
was sitting on the bank

Peter.
Jerry grinned.

mistake on your part, Peter 1t was a
serious mistake. You see, I am not
living there just now"
You're not?" exclaimed Peter. why
not?"
That's a foolish question" replied
Jerry. You ought to know without
asking. The family needs all the room
there is
Then where are you living?" Peter
asked.
"Oh, I'm living around" replied Jerry
carelessly. Il never have any trouble
finding a place to stay"
II should think you would wish you
had that nice house you used to have
out in the Smiling Pool" said Peter.
I've always wondered why you gave
that up. should think that that would
have been wonderful place for your
babies"
Jerry grinned.
That's what I thought" said he
But Mrs. Muskrat thought differently.
Giving up that old house was Mrs.
Muskrat's idea. She said it was too old.
She said that a house up in the bank
would be much drier and so better for
the babies. So there was nothing for
it but to have new house in the bank
If you'll take my advice, Peter. you won't
thump on the roof of that house any
more"
Peter grinned. 1t was foolish sort
of grin.
IN keep away" said he. "I should
dislike meeting Mrs. Muskrat on dark
night feeling as she was feeling last
night. My, what temper!"
Can you blame her?" asked Jerry.
"How would you like to have some one
humping on top of your head, espe-
cially when you had family of little
babies? advise you to keep away from
Mrs Muskrat, Peter. A worried mother
Is apt to act first and think afterward.
In fact, am keeping away from there
myself these days"

Muskrat he did not venture back again.
Indeed, he was in doubt about going
back the next night. He was fearful
that Mrs. Muskrat might be hiding
somewher to spring out at him. Ger

when she chased him away from the
Smiling Pool. But somehow Peter
