Ws. Harvey, comtractor and builder, bas instituted a suit for $14,000 against General O. O. Howard. Mr, Harvey was the contractor for the erection of Howard University, and this suit grows out of & contract made with General Howard, in which it was specified that the brick should be the patent of which the university is built. This suit will probably bring out some interesting facts copnected with ‘be patent brick, among them a written protest, Said to be signed by Prot.

He found the Senator in a loose dressing-gown, and iost im thought. Near him stood a tray, holding the Senator’s abstemious tare of unbuttered toast and creamless coffee. The Senator says that he intends to keep at his work, and not to fold his arms and see the country go to the devil. He confesses to being crazy in the sense that all great reformers are crazy. He is not bidding for the Presidency, and would not take it unless he was pei mitted to appoint whom he choze to office. Ina big bundle of letters asking for copie< of bis late speeches, only two came from Rhode Island, where he said the truth about the great family monopoly was unpalatable. He was very uncomplimentary to his fellow Senators, styling Mr. Warner a “puke,” Mr. Gattell a “mutton-head,” Mr. Sherman a@ “telegraph pole,” and so on. In conclusion, he said he ‘was going home to recuperate this summer, and when Uongress assembles, his voice would again be heard ‘about the ears of those iellows up there at the Capitol.”’ THE HUNDRED AND FIPTY WeErinx Sisters INTHE VALLEY OF HUMILIATION. —The follow. ing extract from a leiter by a lady (ex-clerk) of Washington toa friend abroad, shows that the female clerks who have received yellow envelopes bear decapitation with a certain sprightly philosophy that their male fellow sufferers are not apt to show ‘WasHINcTON, April 16th.—My Dear Friend : ‘Weeks and months have ed since we have beard from you. 1 would bave written before, but it seems as though there was little in com- mon between us, now that you are steeped in the wonders of nature and’art in the old world. ‘Still 1 know it is not so, and that the details of our dull prosaic life will touch a responsive chord in your heart, and even in Paris you will gladly read a few pages of good own mother tongue, and turn trom Vanity Fair to commune with the poor pilgrims still in the Slough ot Despond. ne of is now pass- ing through the “Valley of Humiliation” with along of weeping sisters behind her.
