A correspondent of Every Saturday, writing from St. Louis, gives the following description of the farm of President Grant near that city : A plessant drive of an hour anda half from St. Louis brings one to the estate of President Grant. He must, however, be a sly and stealthy visitor who on his way there escapes the princely hospitality of the President's neighbor, Mr. W. i. Benton, aretired merchant. At his country- seat, Mr. Benton keeps the state of a feudal baron, tempered and refined of course by the influences of the nineteenth century; from the peaceful battlements of his airy verandah he spies the unwary traveller, pources down upon him, and leads him away captive to—dimuer. uur’ party was too large, and contained too many of Mr. Benton's old friends, to pass unscathi The noblest captives ot the cheerfullest, cut- throat, mediaval times never enjoyeg more lux urious durance, or any thing Mke such cookery. While the dinver was preparing, and we were sit- ting on the shady verandah, looking with hal shut eyes ont upon the sunny fields and. the “wilt-hunt” of the heat omy on above hem, fanned as to our individual flushed faccs by the breeze, spiced at least in our immediace circle with bouquets Falernian, our host sent forth bis men to chase up the presidential but taloes. In the course of time we saw in the dis tant borders of the woods what seemed a pair of russet walking-beams, cantering up anddown just in the edge of the shadows from the under- brush. For a half hour these two queer shapes tectered in and out of sight, sometimes ap- proaching us, and sometimes ‘flveing from us. with men runping aud shouting behind them. The chase had to be given up. The baftaloes would not be driven out of the shade, preferring to come upot their own accord at sundown. We saw enough of them, however, to learn that they were the xmallest and stupidest beasts that ever had so much newspaper talk avout them Gen. Grant has given or lent them to Mr. Ben- ton, I forget which. At any rate, they browse about in the shade of Mr. Benton’s pastures. Dinner over, our host accompanied us to the ing of tie main road “The Old Dent Home- stead.” It stands on the slope of a low bill, surrounded by locust and cedar trees. Be- low, at the foot of the lane, are the barn, cat- tle-yard and pastures. Mr. Wm. Elrod, who married a cousin of the General, bas charge ot the estate. He has a farm of his own in Ohio, which he left only at the urgent request of the President. Mr. Elrod is a plain, honest-looking man, whose delight in the tine stock he had to show us was manifest ina subdued, strong way. In jhe barn we formed the acquaintance of a most ferocious bull, which, in modified 7 phonian phrase, once lacked little ot ha tossed Mr. Elrod out of the cattle-yard the other world. A fine Holstein bull occupied a stall im another part of the ba Other specimens of this peculiar breed were grazing im a neighboring field. These cattle all have white bodies, while the legs, head, and Shonlders are generally jet black, like those ot the bull. Some of however, in the field, had the same sharply-detined white body, with sorrel legs, head shoulders. ‘The barn was well filled with blooded horses and coits, amon, which were “Bashaw Maid,” a very fine dar! mare; the “Ethan Allen,” chestnat e: « Beauty,” which is kept tor the President's daughter; and Young Hambletonian,” a superb chestnut stud. As we left the barn, a company of sheep, all of choice breeds, were huddied to- gether in the lane, and a score or more of milch cows had been driven up into the reighboring pen. Itwas annoonced at the great fair just held in St. Louis, that the stock ot “U.S. Grant, ot Washington, D. C. has taken four pre- miums. ‘The ‘old homestead” is the place where many of the Dents, who have so vexed the President's enemies, first saw light. There is a log house, which was built by Grant himself, in 1855, when be left the, arm: It stands about a half mile away from the “-homestead,” on a bit of land to Mrs. Grant by her father. The Dent mestead and the adjoining farm have been bought by the General, trom the ditierent heirs since his great successes.

At a subsequent date Archbishop eleston deeded tw Father Matthews a life estate in the property ,to be used for church purposes. Shortly after Father Ca- rey purchased the three lots above mentioned. a small frame churel was erected, in which the Catholics worshipped for some years; bat their congregation grew so rapidly that it was soon necessary to tear down the frame building to make room for a larger one. Accordingly the first porUon of - Ccentary, wh its in thy 1, to Archbishop years addi it reached its present Father Caffery was the first pastor of the new church, and was succeeded in 1804 by Rew Faber Matthews, whose history is so well known in this community. He remained in charge of the churci: until his death, April 30th, 14. was ever foremost in all good work, and bis zeal in establishing schools and other. wise caring for the poor is weil remembered by citizens. Within the walls of Si 's Church thousands of the best citizens of Washington have worshipped God during th present century. Upon its baptismal records are the names of hundreds who have become emi- nent in the various walks of lite; before its altar the hands of many a young and happy have been joined together, and over its sacred threshold the remains of loved ones have passed to their quite resting place under the sod, while the bell toed a solemn requiem for the departed. On the ith of May, 1818, the sacrament of rmation Was first adininister ed im St. Patrick’s Church. Bishop Marshall then officiated, and of the m: who were con- firmed on that day, our Mr Nicholas Callan, is the only one now living The Youngs, Brents, Carrolls, Hobans, an »thers. who knelt with passed away. (neo! the largest funerals which ever took place from the church was that, many ago, of Senorita Onis, wife of Don Onis e Mexican Minister, then residing here Upon two occasions have the impressive ordina- tion ceremonies been hell in St. Patrick's. The first was conducted by Bishop Dubarge, of New Orleans, afterwards elected Cardinal, m Mr. Mudd was ordained, and the second time Bishop Lannon officiated, when Kev. Jere- miah Keilly and Rey. dobn Smith were or- dained. The old church edifice has been CRUMBLING AWAY tor the past fifteen years. In 1%60 the roof was found to be very much decayed, and Archbishop Kendrick directed Father Walter to repair the building, which was done. About two years ago another examination was made, when ft was found that the floor timbers were so rotten as to make the building unsate. A portion of the floor under one of the galleries did sink som: imches, and Father Walter recommended that the building*be vacated. Archbishop Spalding coincided with Father Walter, and directed that Carroll Hall be immediately ditted up, to be oc- cupied by the congregation until a new charch could be erected, which was done. ‘The commencement of work upon THE NEW CHURCH has been deferred from time to time, on account of the want of means, and because of an idea entertained by Archbishop Spalding and Father Walter of selling the valuable property now owned by the church, to erect with the proceed= a large church in a more central, portion of the parish. It has finally been determined not to leave the present site—which is in the south- west corner of the parish—and arrangements are now being made by Father Walter to begin work on the new church early in the spring, it being his intention to lay the corner-stone on the Ith of March next—St. Patrick's day. ‘The new church will frout on 10th surect, ad joining the pastor's residence. It will be cruci- form, with a front of 75 feet on 10th street, ex- tending back 150 feet. It will stand back from the street about 10 feet, and the rear wall will be within 15 fe Carroll Hall. It will be ot the Gothic style@f architecture, of blue gneiss, With light stone trimmings. The front will be of dressed stone aud the other walls ranged work. The walls will be 2\y feet thick, and it is the intention to complete the whole exterior of the church before commencing work upon the in inside. ‘The foundations will be of concrete making which all the material in the old chure on will be given te acoustic principles, and it heated by steam. There will be nd side but « gallery for the erphan children ent’s and St. Joseph's asylums wilt ted across the west end of the church, above this will be asmatler gallery tor the The spire will be about 200 feet high, and a chime of bells will be placed therein There will be three large doorways on 1 street, and a niche over the center for a life Statue of St. Patrick.
