Department, THERE AND THEREABOUTS. Matters were quiet at the Post Office depart- ment to-day.

GEN, JAMES SAID TO-DAY he had nothing new to make public touching the star route frauds. No removals wery con- templated today and the department is run- ning along smoothly. The fact is, though that there is a feeling of decided unrest and tusecur- ity throughout the entire department. It could hardly be mare 80 had there beena shange of administration politically. Clerks seem to be on the anxious bench for none of them can tell where the lightning will striké next. Meanwhile the Postmaster General is quietly lopping off the extravagences of the department.

Owing to the illness of some of the Vice Regents, and illness in the families of o:hera, the attendance at the annual Councilof the Regent and Viee Regents of Mt. Vernon, which ‘will begin itssession to-morrow and probably adjourn on Friday, 1s Ukely to be unusually small. The ladies now expected to be present are Mrs. Laughton (regent), of Pennsylvanta; Mrs. Sweat, of Maine; Mrs. Barnes, of the Dis- Irict of Columbia; Miss Harper, of Maryland: Mrs. Halstead, of New Jersey; Mra. Yulee, of Florida; Mrs. Washington, of West Vir- ginia, and’Mrs Ball, of Virginia. Most, if not a)l of these ladies, will goto Mt. Vernon tuts afternoon, the Corcoran making a special trip for their accommodation. During the ceasion of the council the board of visitors, appointed by the Virginia legislature, will be recelved, and there will also be a banquet, as isthe custom €ach year, This will probably be on Wednes- day. Mrs. Laughton 13 60 deeply afflicted by her rye for the health of her young daughter, Miss Camille Berghmanns, that itis probable she will not be able to preside,though ste will attend the meeting. Miss Berghmaans, who is now about 16 years old, has been failing in health for some months. Col. Hollingsworth takes great pleasure in announcing Ubat the magnolia tree plante? by Washington himself at Mt. Vergon 1s not dying, ordead, as has been tndustriousiy re- ted. On the contrary it ts putting forth ucs and leaves. Apropos of the proposed complimentary en- tertatnment to Sir Edward Thornton and family, by citizens of Washington, before they remove from here, it1s recalled that one of like ature was given in honor of M. Roux Rochelle, a French minister, in 1830, at which there were twenty-five managers. Of these Mr. W. W, Corcoran 1s Dow the solesurvivor. The late Dr, Hall was for some time, before bis death last year, the only other survivor of that list. The death was recently anuounced of ex- Representative James Wilson, of New Hamp- shire, whose bame appears on a list of mana gersof a ball given here February 22, 1318, by @ Dumber of Members of both Houses of Con- gress, cluzens and army and navy officers. The names of Hon. George M. Dallas, then Vice President, and of the members of Polk’s cabinet are alsoon the list. Of these Judge Nathan Clifford, then Attorney General, 1s the only survivor. Admiral Powell alone remains of the army and navy officers named on the list. Oc the sixty odd members of either House of Cor- gress who were managers there are known to be living Simon Cameron, Howeil Cobb, J-ffer- son Davis, K. W. Thompson, David Yulee and E. ©, Cavell. The ninetieth birthday of Miss Nancy Wiles, Coetter known as “Aunt Nancy”), one of the ojd ladies resident at the Women’s Christian Association Home, was celebrated there on Saturday last, with much pleasure to the tn- mates a8 wellas to her friends, who were com- Ing and going allthrough the day, while let. ters of regret were received from others unable toattend. Presenta were generously bestowed, and flowers in profusion; among them was & magaificent basket of exquisite flowers from Mrs. Secretary Windom. It was an occa- ston long to be remembered. The old lady re- tains ber facuities remarkably; 1s social, withal, often alluding tother young days, and Telating incidents of theolden times. She took great interest that all should share in the re- Treshments, which were served by her friends, On leaving, @ wish was expressed, that she might live to enjoy her one hundredth birth- day, when she exclaimed: “Oh, don’t wish that; though, if the 1d Lord wills, I will be willing to walt His time.” On Sunday, communton service, conducted by Dr. Rankin, was held at the “Home.” for the benefit of the old ladies, who, by their infirmities, are prevented from enjoying that serviceelsewhere. Many ladies and friends of the Asacciation, of varlous de- nominations, were present, adding Interest to the occasion, which was one of much benefit toall, After this service, the children ta the Foster Home gave an interesting review of their Sunday-school lessons, doing themselvc: much credit and reflecting the excellent wor! their teachers, both in recitations and sing- ing. It 1s said that Representative Russell will, next winter, Occupy that one of ten, Butler's houses on Capitol Hill in which Senator Jones, ot Nevada, hes lived.

PanaMA, May 28 —Latest dates from Lima ave to the isth inst, The Peruvian Congress, which convened on the 15th inst, at Chorrilios, failed to assume a constitutional form for want of a quorum. Senators and Representatives were present in the city in numbers amply suficient for that purpose, but such is the state of feeling among Peru’s leading men at the present moment that united action for the most"patriotic ends fs impossible, and no sea- sions have since the prelitainary meeting taken place- Admiral Lynch, who has lately taken com- mand of the army of occupation, has ample Powers to come to terms with the Peruvians. He has ail the officials at his command (Chiliaps) to form a Chilian government of his own and leave Peruvians to fight thelr misera- ble political questions out among themselves without the cignity of oficial standing to assist them. Plerola has disap- peared as effectually as though the earth had opened and swallowed him up. His lieut2nants, Salar and Montero, remain as the only visibl signs Of what was once his dictatorial govern- ment. Arcus ‘sul preserves her hostile or- ganization and vows war to death against Chillans and all Peruvians who believe in che new provisional goverument. _ It is reported that Calderon is beginning to display some- thing of military strength in the way of con- solidating his government. _He dispatched 400 men the other day, armed with weapons bor- rowed from the Chiljans, to thrash the prefect of Huaraz into subjection. This he will no doubt do and enable the deputies fn that de- partment to take their seats in congress, which they had been forbidden to do. Montero has beep invited to take his seat in congress as member for the province of Puira. —_.—_—_. STRIKE IN NEW YORK. Brewery Employes Quit Work.
