The Completion of a Costty Private Residence — Fine Woodwork and Handsome Frescoes, The residence which ex-Senator Yulee, of Florida, is erecting on Connecticut avenue, nearly opposite the British minister's residence. is nearly completed, and the owner will soon move into it. It is one of the finest private residences ever erected in this city, and it is estimated that at least $70,000 has been expended on the house alone; the ground, which extends back to 18th street, having cost over $30,000. Itisa large double structure, built of brick, with a porte cochere over the main entrance. The exterior is rather plain, but sfbstantial, and there is a very handsome tower at the southern end. The high roof adds a third story to the building. The main entrance opens into a hallway, which widens out into a large square hall. Directly opposite the entrance, on the opposite side of the hall, are Jarge sliding doors, | Which open directly into the dining-room. This | room is finished in mahogany, and has a very | handsome carved wood mantel. reaching nearly ; to the ceiling, of the same material. The ceil- ing is very handsomely frescoed. \ Thehallis finished in oak with oak wains- coting and a ceiling panelled and carved In oak. A mantelpiece of elegant design is at one cor- ner with atiled open fireplace. An oak stair- case with a graceful railing of oak runs to the top of the house. The stairway is lignted on each story by stained glass windows of rich de- 1S. the right of the main entrance is the ry, which is fished in oak. | Zlunee appears to be wall-paper. The parlor, on | the opposite side of the hall, is finished in pine, nd the panels of the high wainscoting will be netted by hand-painted designs in colors to harmonize ‘with the ceiling, which the fres- coer has adorned with one of his happiest de- sigas. A large glass door opens into. the con- ervatory, which is on the south side of the house. “Doors which fold ud then slide bac into the wall separate the parlor from the music | room, which is finished in somewhat the same style as the parlor. This room opens upon a verandah which looks out on the grounds in the Tear of the house. There is anelevator which goes from the basement to the top story, as wellas a back stair case. The wood work in the upper | stories is pine with a hard oil finish. All the | floors are laid with tonsued boards, which run | from base to base withouta piece. In the first story the floors are polished inlaid woods.

Senator Wade Hampton is noted as oneof the most expert anglers in this country. He is also an excellent shot, and delights in healthful, out- door sports generally. ‘The loss of his leg about six years ago prevented him from taking any part in field sports for sometime. But now he gets about on his cork Jeg with a limp that is scarcely perceptible. At first the Senator found it very difficult to manage the artificial leg. He would oceasionally fall back upon his crutches, but urged by his colleague, Senator Butler, who bad succeeded in making an artificial leg do almost as well as its flesh and blood predeces- sor, Gen. Hampton kept trying until he over- came all the difficulties that beset him. Sena- tor Hampton's fame as an angler extends where- ever he is known.

Atadistance of several hundred yards we noticed a wild duck, one of the species com- monly or vulgarly called ‘di-dappers.’ You know they dive, it is said, at the flash of a gun, and thus escape the load of shot that is fi at them, The Senator directed the boatman to jo towards the duck, saying, laughingly, that he intended to hook him. I thought his idea was to coax the duck to grab one of his flies. The boatman eased us towards the duck, and when we were within about sixty feet the Sena- tor made a cast at the foul. One of his flies fell on the dnuck’s back, whereat Mr. Duck went under water. He arose a hundred yards or so off, and the Senator ordered the boatman to pull towards the di-dapper again. This time the Senator was more careful. He went as as it attera bass, When we got within casting distance he reeled off a supply of line, gave an underhand cast, and fn an instant he had the duck hooked. The duck at first rose into the air, and the line went. whizzing offthe reel. Then he dropped to the water and tried diving, going under and up in rapid succession. In a few moments the Senator reeled him up near the boat, and I took the duck in a landing net. He ‘was hooked the neck with the tail fy—the one on the end of the leader. The Senator told me that as the fly struck the duck he gave a quickjerk and set the hook into 1 will wager that there is not another its neck. ieal Union No. 6)—Nonpareil cast og & minion | man anywhere who could make such a cast.” ‘body and set doable ieaded.

Those fancy pictures are no more a test of the solid or useful information possessed by the scholars than the gaudy trappings of an actor on the stage are an Indication of how that actor would look on the Street Incomnmon attire. What we want in the schools Is that management which will secure to pupils the greatest amount of useful informa- tion in the least possible time. Believing that the resolutions introduced by Gen.

To the Editor of the EVENNG Stan: The reading of the resolutions in last Satur- day's Sra, which were lately Introduced by Gen. Wm. Birney to the beard of trustees of the public schools ot Washington, gave me great pleasure. Having reared and educated a large family of children, some of whom have tor the past eight years been in the Washington schools; and having also devoted several years of my life to teaching. Ihave long been ot the opinion | that such retorms as Gen. Birney has proposed are much needed in the public schools of Wash- ington. I think that parents who have children, and especially young children, in the public schools will aid in securing to them most important educationgl and personal advantages by encour- aging Gen- Birney’s efforts to correct the abuses which his resolutions indicate.

From the Chicago News. 5 Yesterday afforded passengers on the Chicago street cars a fine opportunity to enjoy the de- lights of these influenza chests on wheels. The straw placed on their floors in lieu of heating apparatus became damp and foul with the snow tracked into them on the feet of their many victims. As the snow melted the feet of the passengers grew cold and clammy and their Doses and eyes became red and rheumy. There could be no mistaking the signs ot approaching colds, cougis, influenza and rheumatism. Galoshes proved ineffectual coverings to keep the feet warm and handkerchiefs were in con- stant demand. Between the dampness arising from the wet straw and the moist breaths of the Passengers the alr of these cars became terribly vitiated and offensive.

The ocean of the stage is produced by a num- ber of boys lying on their backs beneath a dark cloth and working away with their legs and arms. Mr. Percy Fitzgerald mentions a clever instance of stage illusion in a play called “The Piants in Bedrooms, From the London Globe. The controversy as to keeping live plants in a room at night continues to be carried on with vigor and acrimony, although most people have | probably supposed that it was long since set at rest. Not so very many years ago the danger of keeping such things ina bedroom was a good deal pooh-poohed by practical persons, who re- garded the stories told in that connection as old women’s tales, belonging to the same category as the myth about sleeping under the moon, or taking a ciesta under a zew tree. But then there were published terrible accounts of fair dames, who, despising the warning in question, and de- positing bouquets or flower pots in their roomsat ruibling sound as of the deep intonations of di tant thunder. which came on with increasing volume for several seconds, The sound proceede with rapid undulations direction, following the course of the mountains, and seeming to traverse the deep bowels of the earth, until it reached a point on the horizon of our valley about 45 de started, when it sudde bosom of the mountain, and, litting itself abo thunderbolt. and thus it ended as suddenly Sea of Ice.” A woman, with her child on a trozet is exposed to the treachery of the villain‘f the story.
