NATURALIZED CITIZENS WHO VISIT Gen MANY.—The American legation has, of late, been frequently called upon to intervene in behalf of naturalized citizens of the United States who have returned to Germany to re- side temporarily, and who, while there, have been calied upon by the German authorities to perform military duty and to respond to the obligations of laws from which foreigners areexempt. Arecent dispatch received at the Department of State, from Mr. Tayloi the American minister at berlin, says in rel: tion to this subject, that in view of the pre- vailiug political agitation in Germany, and the increased tendency towards repressive measures ou the part of the government, it would be well if naturalized citizens contem plating visits to their former homes were offi cially advised that many posh auhoyance may be avoided by declaring the probabl - term of their stay to the ivcal German author ities on arriving ; by abstaiping frum irritating Political diseussions; and by quickly obeying Such municipal laws and regulatious as apply to temporary as well as permauent residents THe LIBERIAN RatLroaD.—A correspond. ence has recently taken place betweea Dr. Bly den, Siberian minister iu London, and Mr. Welsh, the American minister, on the subjec of a railroad from the coast of Liberia to th» elevated interior, in which the latter, in hi generous spirit expresses his sympathy wit The idea in the following terms: “The railroa ' as suggested is a work of paramount re pe ance, and, to me personally, it would a cause of great gratification were the United States to aid your government in its construc- CONRESSIONAL NOMINATIONS.—. iraham Frost, contestant for the seat of F.

The question of an “entire new roof” bas been variousiy answered by various competi- tors, but in ho case has a pisn been suggested, lay superior to others or to those methods of construction which are the common prop- erty of allskilied builders, as to cali for special mention. Iron roofs, protected by “‘lime of tiel,” “por- ous terra cotta’ or “other improved fire- proof materials,” are recommended. Tie ane of tiel, and porous terra cotta, are both good materials for the purpose, aud vapabie of adaptation toany form of iron work.

The arrangement of the pilasters of the south portico is such—the outer one, which must vovern the projection of ab attic, standing considerably forward of the line of the inter- mediate ones—that the south wallof the attic imust, of becessity, be supported over the space below, primarily by transverse tron girders, or their equivalent, resting upon the interme- diate pilasters and opposite columns. Before closing our report we feel it our dut! to call attention to the very dangerous condi- tion of the ee ip and roof of the south por- tico; these are of wood, furred and plastered upon the under side in each case. A wall of masonry separates the enclosed space from the main model room, but does not pass through the roof. In this wall are openings leading to the main mode! room, as well as into the space between the vaulting and roof of same, which openings are entirely unpro- tected, being closed merely by doors of wood. Fire might readily be communicated to this ppace.€ ther through the roof, as in the case of the recent centlagration in the west wing, or from below, should any evil-minded person, with sufficient ingenuity, be vain pled lo take advantage of the present condition of the ceiling of the portico. In carvan out the peat changes in the main building, this ing and roof should be replaced by'sub- stantial fire-proof construction. Very respect- ine, (SignedJ)—James K. Wilson, Richard M. Upjohn, H.

A dis, atch from Memphis, dated eat afternoon says: “The wet, cool weather which has prevailed since 2 p.m. yesterday has doubt- less created many new cases of fever, but how many it is impossible to state, owing to the fact that but two physicians had reported to the board of bealth up to noon to-day. Some are indifferent to the importance of ae orting, others are too busy atiending sick calls, while one at least is kuown to be in open defianze of the board of hea'th. He has never reported a case, and claims that the prevailing disease is not yellow fever. The death rate, however, will equal if not exceed that of yesterday, when 7 interments were reported. Up noon to-day the undertakers report 46 yellow ‘ver interments. Fathers Bokel and Meagher aledead. Two fathers and two brothers at the Franciscan monastery are down ; also Rev.

Mrs. Lawrence was not a daughter of an exgovernor of Rhode Island. Lawrence was ason of one. Law- rence did net ei a duel with the Secretary of the Austnan Legation, near Bladensbury. Montgomery county. le fought a bloodless duel with an insolent litle scamp named Cx sero, or Kusiro, Secretary of th Pcussi Legation, about two miles from the J] - lay House, near Baltimore. Colonel Fra’ «. Price, of New Jersey. and son of Rod mat Frice, was his second. Your hum ie Servant Was on the field. Mrs. Lawrence was not the cause of that duel. The impertinent Secretary of @egation, at a dinner table of gentlemen, mace some tp teeing remarks in | regard to the want of refinement in A nerican | ladies in general, which Lawrence took up on the spet and denounced. The challenge cam: fiom Cusere on the coming | morning. Aft < the due! Bismarck recalled his secre ary, 22d Seward dismissed Lawrence from his posiuen ter to one of the petly South Armevican 8. His wife worked hard to have him ted, but Seward positively refused. Lawrence was an aide to Gen. Adelbert Ames, and lost bis arm at the capture of Fort Fisher, Where be fought bravely. He is, however, a hard drinker, and would spend bis nights @* the gambling table when he should have been home with his family. Mrs. Lawrence was a very accomplished woman, and fond of admir- ation. but I will not believe she was unfaith- ful. Her association with Mi mn for the past three or four years has been much talked about in Washington. She is now with Mrs. Robeson in Europe. LETTER FROM GEN.
