CONGRESSMEN AND THEIR P. 0. ADDRES Give Them Now. LOST AND MISSING. case in — occurred ere: Beg HOUSE AND GROUNDS. Manon, Joseph forth the many curious phases of human existence, none are invested with a greater de- gree of interest than those which relate to the occasional Gieeppcarence of soctety’s units, and Which deal w' the circumstances attendin: their absence from the circle or sphere in whic! they have lived and moved. Statisticians tell us that a surprising number of individuals dis- appear myste} iy each year from the cir- fe! t Sigemgen yrovogoncn police — ly inform us of the Proj o such cases in which no lew is obtained to the whereabout or existence of missing men and women. Indeed, from all accounts, it Seems a tolerably easy matter to get lost beyond recognition or finding; and the annals of de- tective science are no better prepared with an answer to the query about missing persons than Ordinary society would be to reply to the famnitiar question, “What becomes of the pins?” ‘It will be understood that we are refel those cases of inexplicable disappearance in Which no adequate reason can be assigned, in the first Instance at any rate, for the mys- tery of absence. True, this mystery may be explained tn the B seromegen but saddest fashion by the missing body, although thé records of medical jurisprudence teem with examples wherein the identity of the lost individual eS @ matter of the gravest doubt and uncertainty. And thus we note that amongst the unwonted pI of human life there stand forth prominently those in whica, first, acase of disappearance gives ris¢ to the vain search for or to the discovery of the mis- sing body, and In wnich, secondly, sclence ap- Pears to assist In the work of identification — latter being in ae ee a dificult and sometimes a hopeless labor, tt im and even ludicrous force of c: ‘he well-worn that “trath ts stranger than fiction” finds nowhere a better fllustration than in the histories stored up in the note-book of the medical jurist. And the records of a police station may in their own way furntsh the Lewy Sore with amore fertile field than has yet ‘n encompassed by the most facile pen of a Hugo ora Sue. Allusion has just been made to the diMculty experienced in the work of identification, eveo by the most intimate relations and (rlends of the missing person. Many examples of this difficulty may be cited, the Indefinite nature of the task arising probably as much from the al- teration in appearance produced by the “chilly hand” which sets the features in re] as from any other cause. The lapse of a few hours after death may effect grave change In the cast or pose of the human face, as every doctor knows; and police authorities, who have to do with the identification of the deat as well as of the liv- ing, are accustomed to receive with justifiable care and caution the statements made by most persons in cases of disputed identity. A comparatively short time ago an instance of this fact was afforded in a northern Eaglist city. The body of a woman of dissolute habits was found under circumstances which ren- theory of her having been murdered y probable hypothesis, ‘The ques- tion naturally arose as to the name and identity of the victim. Several persons were found ready to declare that the body in question was no other than that of M.N., with whom they had dally associated. Interrogated closely upon this point, they still adhered to the exact Statement they had made; and their optaion ‘was supported by at least’ one fact, namely, that M. N. had not been seen tn her usual haunts for some days prior to the discovery Of the body. Identification in this case seemed to be little short of acertainty, when it occurred toa shrewd police officer to make assurance doubly sure by visiting the city prison, with the view of ascertaining whether the person in question might not be incarcerated within its to} walls. His search was duly rewarded by the discovery that M. N. was there undergoing a short term of twprisonment, ignorant of the circumstances under which she was credited With belong “with the majority” whilst still alive and well. A suggestion gravely made in connection with this case, that the body was that of a certain A. B., was indignantly re- futed by A. B. herself walking into the police Station and confronting her anxious friends. But the apparent impossibility of tdentifying even bear relations raay be aptly tilustrated by a reference to a case decided im the vice chan- cellor’s court so recently as 1566. This latter was @ suit In which the plaintiff, Hollis, wished to establish the death of a person named Wm.Tar- her. Turner was last seen alive on the 7th of May, 1565,when he was entertained at Gulidford. Hie then presented an emaciated appearance; his mind was unsetiled and weak; le was uushaven and suffering from botis and sores, which were dressed at the last named place. On the lith of May a drowned body was found in the river Wey, und at the inquest, which was summoned on the 17th, two men named Etherington swore to the corpse as that of their father, who was missing at tne period in question. The friends who had entertalned Turner at Guildford, on the other hand, declared their belief that the body was that of William Turner; but it was neverthe. jess duly interred as that of Philip Etherington. On the neck of the drowned man a colored neckerchief was found, this article assisting in the ultimate identification of the body, which Was effected some months afterward, on Philip Etherington, the supposed drowned subject, walking into his dauguter's house. The question Who was the drowned man was then revived. The proofs were clearly brought out at last. William Turner had leit hind him at Guildford a fragment of a handkerchief; this fragment being found to correspond exa-ily With the article removed from the neck of the drowned body, and the fact that the sore3 of William Turner had been dressed at Gulidford, recalled to mind the fact that similar traces of disease were discernible on the drowned man. ‘To the Vice-Chancellor’s mind the chain of evi dence was complete and satistactory, and judg- ment was given establisking the fdenttiy or Wiliam Turner and thedrowned man. Yei the two sons of Etherington were positive as to the ldentity of the body with thetr father, who in his turn must have remained utterly tgaorant duriog his absence from home concerning the quan into which that absence had led his Dichds ard others, More astounding because absolutely true, and in the highest degree explext as illustrating the curious and remarkable colucidences of hu- man life, are cases in which a confusion of iden- tity,and even of name,may assist in blindfolding justice fn a most singuiar and bewlidering tash- on. in December, Is31,a woman named Ellz- abeth Ross was tried at the Old Batley for the inurder of an Irish woman namedCaroline Walsh. After much solicitation on the part of Ross and her husband, Walsh had consented to live with them, and on the evening of the 19th of August, i31, the deceased went to the residence of Koss in Goodman’s Fields, taking with her as ber belongings a bed and a basket; the latter coa- tained the tapes and other odds and ends which Walsh was accustomed to sell by way of earn- ing a scanty livelihood. All traces of Caroline Walsh disappeared on the evening of 19; and when Koss was interrogated re: her visitor and lodger, she at first repli unsatisfactory fashion, but ultimately stated that Walsh had left her house on the ivth, and that not had been heard of her loiger since. Circumstances, however, came to the knowledge of the police which resulted in Ross being duiy arraigued for the murder of Caroline Walsh, and it was proved by the testimony ot Kess’ son that his mother had suffocated Walsh on the evening of Augus! nd had disposed of her bedy for anaterical purposes. Now appears, however, a most singular ele- Ment in the case. On the evening of August 20th an old woman, giving her naine a3 Caro- ine Welsh, Was found lying in the neighborhood Of Geodman’s Fields im a state of squalor and filth, and was duly conveyed to tae London Hospital. There it was discovered that she had sustained a fracture of the hip, days’ residence in the hospital tue’ patient died, and was duly interred. “At the trlal it was argued on behalf of Koss that the Caroline Welsif of the Lond her late lodger; and to settle the marvellous identity which had thus arisen between the missing lodger and the hos pital patient. The former, es has been stated, Was af Irishwoman; Dut sO also was Caroline Welsh. It was found out, however, that Caro- ne Walsh came from Kilkenny, Whilst the hospital patient hailed from Waterford. ‘This first potnt of difference was speedily fol- lowed by tbe discovery of other nections fatal to the prisoner’s case, Caroline Waish was desertbed as being about 54 years of age, tall, of a pale cowpiexton, and had gray hair. Caroline Weish, who died in hospital, was about Sixty years Of age; she was also tall,’ but was of dark complexion.’ Further, Caroline Walsh was cleanly 1a person, and exhibited no defect in physical cofformation. Caroline Welsh was airty and emaciated. and her feet were so cov- ered With corns.and buuions as to present the appearance of be!ng defo In dres ever, the two women were very much al: . more curious sull, both sed baskets of similar make, that of Welsh having a cover, Which the basket of Walsh wanted. it may Said that with the evidence as to the difference between the women in ques- tion, end with itive evidence as to the Geath of Walsh, little doubt could have exist- ed as to the Identity of cach. But the con- fuscd identity of name, dress and occapation was effectually set at rest by one remarkabie Observation, namely, that Caroline Walsh, the Murdered woman, Was known to possess ‘very rfect front teeth—a fact suMiciently remarka- le in @ woman of her age to attract the atten- tion even of unscientific observers.

('‘The East,” by M. F. Morris, Esq.] We sometimes flatter ourselves that we have explored all the realms of thought and investt- gated allthe domain of philosophy, and that, outside of Europe and America, there Is no phi- losopby worthy of the name. But we have been heater: | pty in all our speculations by the Hindus. There is nothing new inthe panth> ism of Spinoza, or in the idealism of Berkeley and Malebranche, or in the transcendentalism of Kant and Fichte, or in the evolutionism of Darwin and Huxley and Tyndal. They were all discussed three thousand years ago by bril- lant intellects at Agra and Benares. The Vedas contain the first germs of the Pan- theistic philosophy. Kapila elaborated it into asystem long before Greece emerged from its native barbarism. From him Pythagoras bor- rowed it; and he, in turn, transmitted it to the Gnostics of the first centuries of the Christian era, and they to Aver and Spinoza. The basis of Buddhism, as enunciated by its founder Guatama or Gotama, is pure and sim- ple idealisra—the theory of the non-existence of Matter, and that soulor spiritis the only ac- tual existence. Bishop Berkeley, who sustained this theory in the last century with a course ot reasoning most diflicnlt to be answered, is far behind Guatama. Aristotle was anticipated in his system of logic by an intellect as acute and brilliant as his own, the Hindu Kanada, who was also the author of the batted ar htena Democritus, of Abdera, who, like countryman, Pythago- ras, traveled in the East, and very probably visited India, became acquainted there with the theories of the Hindu | eorings earl and from thence introduced the atomic philosophy into Greece, with its logical consequence, the doc trine of evolution. m him Epicurus took up the theory, and Lucretius enshrined It in stately verse, long before it was resuscitated by D'Hol- bach and illustrated by Darwin. To the educated Hindu there 13 nothing new inour philosophy, nor is there much that is new to him in our religion or in our trreligioa. He ts equally famtiar with the great pri — that underlie the one and the want of priaci) e that characterizes the other. A triad or trinity of Godhead isas prominent a feature of his creed as it is of the Christian. Brahma, Vishnu and Siva—the Creator, the Preserver and th Destroyer—are, in his mythology, threefsid emanations of the one, eternal, uncreated, in- comprehensible First Principle; and their fuac- tions in the system of the Hindu religion, though differing very much from those of the three Sacred Persons of the Christian Trinity, plainly evince that the {dea of a Triune God is One of the primeval traditions of our race. and as to manifestations of the divinity in human form—another primeval tradition which finds its earliest expression in the promise containe1 in the third chapter of the book of Genesis of a Redeemer to come—the Hindus are not satisfl:d with one incarnation. They record twenty- four incarnations, or, as they call them, avatars of Vishnu, the second person of the Hindu Triad; of which ten are regarded as of mount importance, and are denominat great avatars, The three first of these are con- jectured to have reference to the phenomena ot the Noachian Deluge, the fourth to the story of Nimrod, and the fifth to that of the Babylonian Belus. The sixth commemorates some nota- bie, Poe now unknown, event in the eariy history of Hindustan. In the seventh, Vishnu. became incarnate in Rama, the hero of the Ra- mayuna; in the eighth, in Chrishna, the Lero of the Mahabharata. Buddha was the ninth and last; for the tenth is yet to come. And it seems strange enough that the author of the Buddhistic Reformation should be regardea by the Brahmins as an incarnation of Vishnu, while the followers of Buddha have been driven from Hindustan, and compelled to take refuge in regions beyond its limits, where, however, their doctrines have succeeded In drawing to their profession the greater part of the Mougo- lan race, and of the people of the Malaysian islands. The tenth avat is yet tocome. It symbolizes Vishnu riding on a white steed, and arme a blazing scimitar, to destroy the world—a tig- ure strongly suggestive of the similar one tn the Apocalypse o1 St. John. ‘The Surrender of Richmond. iGen. G. F. Bhepley in July Atlantic. | As we drew near the city, a deputation, headed by Mr. Mayo, the mayor of Richmond, came to meet us and formally to surrender the city. They expressed great surprise at the fine, well-groomed and well-fed horses of the oficers and the style and completeness of all the equipments, which undoubtedly contrasted Strangely with the half-starved hacks and dilapidated equipments and uniforms they had been accustomed to see in the ranks of the con- federate army during the last year of the siege ef Richmond. We received the old Virginia gentleman so pleasantly and kindly that he re- ported, on his return to his anxious compatriots, who inquired what kind of people the Yankees were, that he had met “a company of perfect Chesterfields.” As we entered the city Itself, the whole col- cred population received us’ with shouts of welcome.

If the Sotl has been brought from grounds in which the common bracken has been growing {t will be needful to pick out every root or it will soon smother the weaker-growing ferns. Tue Chinese and Japanese excel all other na- Uonalities in the culture of early vegetables. This arises from the fact that they use only liquid manures, hence the growth of the plants is most rapid, and as a natural consequence the vegetables are very brittle and tender.

A few may possibly flad an entrance under the paper, but they are easily discovered and killed. The majority of flowers begin to wither after being kept in water for twenty-four hours. A few be revived by giving them fresn water with a pinch of saltpetre in 1t; and even quite withered flowers can be restored by plac- ing them in a cup of boiling water deep enough to cover at least one-third of the stems. When the water has cooled, the flowers should be bright and erect again. They may now be in- serted in fresh and cold water, after having shortened their stems by about an inch. Thin- petalled, white and light-hued flowers, however, do not revive so completely under this treat- ment as deep-hued_ thick-petalled blossoms. PROFITS OF RosE CULTURE.—It 1s stated, as showing the profits from rose culture, that in 1871 a florist in Massachusetts set out five rose bushes of the General Jacqueminot variety, in @ new greenhouse 13 feet by 100. The first crop of flowers he scld for 4 cents each, with his tea- roses, The next year they sold for $1 per dozen, and the next for $2 per dozen. During the month of February of this year he cut 1,052 Toses, Which he sold to the florists in Boston for from 2% to 50 cents each, netting him $410.50, Since that time he has cut and sold enough to Mnake.the amount over $500 in the aggregate from the five plants.

The writer has worked with this delicious vegetable for thirty years, and thiaks he knows a good deal about it. If the writer Was to make a new bed now, he would plant the seeds, or take yearly plants in a row 100 or tore feet long, as the location allowed, and carefully fill up all the gaps the ensutng year. it one row should not be enough, make another atleast four feet from the first. Keep down weeds with cultivator and hoe, and every fall cover with old well rotted manure, which should be scraped off very early in spring, leav- ing the crowns of the plants very close to the surface. In the spring, after cutting sea- son is over, cover again with manure. Usually the season lasts four to six Weeks. After this time the sprouts should be left to leaf out, as if cut too long the plants will be smothered and killed for want of Jeat lungs. All plants must have leaves to live. In gathering asparagus, whether for home use or market, the shoois ought to be allowed to grow fully six inches above ground, and become greenish in color, with a well budded head, before being gathered. ‘Then it is best to break {t off short at the sur- face while the shoot ts crisp and brittle. Some growers cover the beds several Inches deep With manure, and then cut just as the shouts peep through, the product being a tougn white ‘Staik, only about an inch of the ae being edt- ble. Persons who have only tried this sort say that they do not like asparagus, when the fact 4s that they have never had a_ chance to taste the real article.—Our. Prairie Farmer. WEanING CoLTS.—If the colt has been hand. Jed as It should have been it has already learned to eat, and when taken from the dam the food supplied should be of sucha character as to fectly supply the place of milk waich has retofore been Its chief dependence. If the foal 1s young or in thin flesh it will be well to give a il supply of cow’s milk—which it will readily learn to drink—as there ts nothiag which will so completely supply the milk of the dam as this. Ind it will, well in all cases where from lack of an abundance of milk of the dam, or from scanty nutrition of any kind, the foal is low in flesh to early Supply the deficiency with a good allowance of cow's milk in addition to what it gets from the dam. In such cases it 1s best to use new milk uptil the foal becomes accustomed to milk may drinking it; but very soon skim be eustituted. The effect of such a ra- Uon upon the growth and condition of the foal 1s wonderful, and in all cases where the foal 1s likely otherwise to enter winter low in flesh, we cannot too highly recommend its use. A quart of milk morning and evening, in addition to the grain ration, will be quite suffictent, and if it be sweetened a little at first, the colt will take to it all the more readily, as the milk of the mare is much sweeter than that of the cow. Outs, ground or unground, constitute the very best grain food foracolt. We prefer to have them ground; and as cold weather ap- proaches, we recommend the addition of about one-fourth the weight of corn meal, which helps to lay on fat, and tuaterially, assists In keeplag the animal heat.

The Inauguration of m Karen. (Ben: Perley Poore in July Atlantic. ] Presigent Jackson and President-elect Van Buren were escorted from the White House to the Capitol by a volunteer brigade of calvary and Iniantry, and by several democratic politi- ¢al organizations, marshaled by General Van Ne who had a corps of mounted aids. Gen- eral Jackson and his successor rode in an ele- gant phacton, made of oak from the original Umber of the frigate Constitution, which had one seat holding two persons, and a higa river's box in front, bordered with a deep ham- mer-cloth. The unpainted wood was highiy polished, and the fine grain was brought out by aceat of varnish, while on a panel on either side was a representation of “Old Ironsides,” as the frigate was called, under fullsall. The phaeton was drawn by General Jackson’s four lron-gray carriage-horses, with elaborate brass-mounted harness, and It was a very dashing turnout. Arriving at the Capitol, General Jackson and Mr. Van Buren went to the Senate chamber, where they witnessed Colonel Johnson take his oath of office as Vice-President. They then re- paired to a platform erected over the steps of the eastern portico, foliowed by the diplomatic corps, the Senators and the principal executive officials. A cheer greeted the old hero, who had risen from a sick bed, against the protest of his physician, that he might grace the scene, and a Smile of satistaction lit up his wan, stera features as he stood leaning on his cane with one hand, and holding with the other his crape- bound white fur hat, while ne snow ieiged ‘he compliment paid him by a succession of bows, Mr. Van Buren then advanced to the front of the platform, and ny ‘mapressive dignity read in a clear, distinct voice his inaugural address. His manner and empha- sis were excellent, yet the effect upon the mul- titude was not what might have been expected {rom So great a collection of men devoted to his support. The obvious cause was, that few of the half million could hear him at all, and that notwithstanding the invitations to cheer, given at the close of every sentence by Marshal Van Ness, only feeble shouts responded to the wa) of the baton. When he had concluded Chiet Justice Taney administered the oath of office, and no soouer had he reverentially kissed the Bible, as a pledge of his assent, than Gene- ral Jackson advanced and shook bim cordially by the hand. The other dignitaries on the plat- form followed with their congratulations, the populace at last cheered, and the bands played Hail to the Chief. President Van Buren and ex-President Jack- son were then esco: back to the White House, where for three hours a surging tide of humanity Event pert the new chief strate, congratulating him on his inauguration. Tne assemblage was & promiscuous one, and the re- ception was as disorderly an affair as could well be imagined. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the members of the diplomatic corps called in a body, wearing their court- and Don Calderon, who was their dean, presented a con- eed b address. In his reply, Mr. Van ren made his only known lapsus lingwe by addressing them as the “democratic corps.” It was not until after his ettention had been called to the mistake that he corrected himself, and stated that he had intended to say “‘diplo- matic corps.” In the eveniag two inauguration balls were given. i iy strangers had been unabie to find con- veyances to take them away, and could not ob- tala eaetkes § ee It was interesting, cowards night-fi to witness the gathering anxiety in many a decent man’s countenance boarding house to wt eee \z- early period.

There are now in existence seven British orders available for the sterner sex, both civil and military. namely, the Garter, the Bath, the ‘Thistle, the St. Patrick, the Michael and George, ‘the Star of India and the Indian og thd these we may add the Guelphic Hanoverian order. For the softer sex om are the English Maids of Honor, the Vic and Albert, the Crown of India and the St. Katharine for nurses—the last-named, by the way, being Jet black, a color which we should have uhought more paren than appropriate in a hospital. Of purely military decorations, awarded for various campaigns Or wars, we have 15, namely, the military war medals for services between is01_and iSl4, the gold medal and the gold cross for certain battles in the Peninsular War, and the following medals: The Waterloo, the South Africa (three wars, exclusive of the Zulu War), the China (three wars), the Afghan Scinde and Gwalion; the Sutlej, the New Zea- land (three Wars), the Punjab, the Indian or frontier medal (which includes one Persian, three Burmese, and endless little wars, such as the Umbeyla, Hazara, Looshal, Jowaki aud Perak campaigns), the Crimean, the Mutiny, the Abyssinian and the Ashantee medals. in addition to the above there are various mil itary decorations for exceptional or gallant ser- vices, such 28 the order of British India for native officers, the Indian order of merit for native soldiers, the long service and good can- duct medal, the distinguished service medal, the Victoria cross, the empress of India com: memoration medal and the best shot of the army medal. There are also eight different decorations awarded at different times by for- eign U opstgern ‘such as the legion of honor and the Turkish and Sardinian médals. Of pureiy naval decorations we have eight—namely, the aval war medal, 1703 to 1540, the naval gold me 1794 to 1515, for superior officers; the Arctic discovertes, the geod conduct, the Baltic, the conspicuous gallaitry, the Arctic medal, 1875-76, and the Victoria cross, which in the navy is suspended by a blue ribbon, whereas red 1s worn by the army. Wherever our land and sea forces co-operated, as in the Crimea, China, etc., the navy received a medal simtlar to that awarded to the army. Lastly, there are sundry medals open to all classes, sich as the royal humane society, the royal. life-boat insti- tution, the shipwrecked mariners, the Tayleur medal for saving life at sea, the Albert medal for saving life by land and sea (two classes), and the St. John ambulance order.—Saturday # 1880 rnx: newsrarens 1880 OF THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. THE EVENING STAR THE WEEKLY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. The EVENING STAR, (on Saturday's a double sheet or eight page paper of fifty-six columns, the size of the New York dailies), is everywhere recognized as the leading newspaper of Wash- ington. With two exceptions only, i has the largest circulation of any daily paper published south of New York, aND MORE THAN DOUBLE THAT OF ANY OTHER PAPER IN THE CITY. Every issue of THE STAR 1s carefully read not only by the citizens of Washington and ad- jacent cities, but by the throngs of strangers constantly visiting the National Capital on business or for pleasure, (and who constitute, im a very large degree, the purchasing popula- tion of every State and Territory in the Union), thus making it for most purposes THE BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE UNITED STATES. Its influence as an agent of publicity has in- deed practically no limit within the boundaries of the country. The best evidence of this is the number of new advertisewents it printed inthe year 1879, which reached 20,636, averaging from 1,700 to:2,000 per month in the busy season!! These figures include only the sub- ject of the advertisement, and not any change of the matter, which, in some instances, is made daily, and, although a new advertisement in fact, is not counted but once, instead of 310 puo- lication dates. The advertising books are open to the inspection of advertisers to verity thts Statement, or an affidavit of its truthfulness will be submitted.
