LOCAL MENTION. ‘Weather. For the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia, colder; generally fair; northwesterly winds, MRS. STONE’S WARMING-PAN. A Collection of Interesting Objects Pre- sented to the National Museum. In old English novels and sketches of home life the warming-pan plays a conspicuous part, How many people are there to-day who ever saw a warming-pan? The comparatively small number includes a Star reporter, who his first and only yesterday in a cor- ner of Mr. Goode’s office at the national museum. It was one of a number of interest- ing objects just presented to the museum by the venerable Mrs. Elizabeth J. Stone, whose name and family are closely identified with the early history and social life of Washington. This warming-pan is a round brass pan, about ten inches in diameter and three inches deep, with a brass top or cover. It has a straight handle of polished wood, about four feet long. It is one hundred and twenty yearsold and was brought to this country from England by Rob’t King, sr., at one time surveyor of Washington city. “When warming-pans were used,”’said one of the attachos of the museum to Taz Stan reporter, “bedrooms were not heated as they are now with stoves or grates news. winter they were very cold.

The interest in it, from the sciantific point of view, is that it illustrates the ee tion of the daguerreotype to the stereopticon. These views were taken about 1851. Modern ee processes and double cameras were then unknown. The double picture had to be made by two exposures, and the skill of the operator was taxed to procure plates cor- responding in detail sufficiently for stereopti- con purposes.

Sam had a good home with his parents at 1901 V street, but Wi life was too dull for him. He had once lived in Oregon, and his desire to become a cewboy was so it that he left his home a month ago and not been seen or heard of since. Sam had often thought of going, and made a start on one occasion, but ‘only got as far as Brightwood when his companions backed out and he returned home with them. He soon afterward visited the Wild West show, near Alexandria, taking his dog Rover with him. He did not return home for a couple of days, but remained in the country with some friends. When he returned from Virginia his atay at home was brief. He only wanted his clothes. Then he informed his mother that he was Soing to work in Vir- ginia for $1 a week and board.

Talking About Grassee—An Explanation of Why One Species of Clover Matures The November meeting of the Woodlawn Farmers’ club was held at the residence of President Pierson on the 10th instant. The secretary read a letter from D. M. Nesbit, esq., inviting the co-operation of the members of this club in securing the establishment of a drain tile manufactory near Washington. Mr. Nesbit had expected to attend this meeting, but did not succeed in reaching here. The committee appointed at the last meeting to re- port resolutions relative to the death of John Mason made a report, which was adopted unani- mously, The critical report was read, from which it appears that the farm of President Pierson contains: i$ 250 acres of arable land. which is a light loam, easily worked, and ive, a8 is evidenced by his crop of average thirty e acre, an Bre mont of it without any fertilizer whatever, in which he has the advantage over many of his brother farmers. He is e: ed in milk , and bis cows were in g: condition, aa were also his stock of horses. The permea- nent near the buildings, of many years foed, and is supplied with plenty of es ae lees supplie of g ing water—an csouctial slament cal the production of milk, both in quantity and quality. He hes lately built a very comfortable and convenient stable for the cows. There are 20 acres sown to wheat and 16 in rye that are looking well. The young grass is mostly very well set. A field of grass that had been mowed one year showed a decided improvement on a part ‘that had been limed. A roomy and convenient building was provided for the shelter 6f farm implements. “T. W. Blunt asked if there was any difference between sapling clover and the common kind, as some thought they were the same. claiming to know asserted that there was a marked difference—the sapli clover matured later than the other, ripene nearly with timothy, was much larger in growth, and matured seeds in the first crop, which the other does not to any extent. When the query arose, Why? it was suggested that, perhaps, the bumble-bee was responsible; that the first crop of the common clover was too early in blooming for the bees. A.W. Harrison advo- cated orchard grass for pasture; said it made the best early and late pasture, and stood the drought apparently better than any other. The committee on 8 are to report at the next meeting, to be held at Danicl Thompson's, on the 15th of December. ‘fhe critical committee was composed of the following-named: James W. Roberts, Oscar Baker, and J. Norman Gibbs spisancorid Training Schools for Domestic Help. To the Editor of Tux EVENING Stan: One of the most perplexing questions for the housekeepers of the present dsy ‘ settle is: “How shall good reliable help be se. ured for a reasonable compensation?” Tove -vems to be a plenty of girls and young wouieu, some white, but more colored, who are desirous of procur; ing employment, No matter what their ante- cedents have been, they will always profess to know how to cook, to wash and iron, but leortd are sure to demand from $12 to #20 per mont! without regard to their qualifications and ex- perience. Rut in nine cases outof ten of those who seek employment, and of those who are actually employed, it is found on trial that they have had very little, if any, experience which makes them relfable cooks or house- keepers. Worse than all, a large portion of them are untrustworthy and untruthful. It is safe to say that not one in ten Will prove to be such help as a good family needs, But fami- lies without number are compelled to senor some of the nine-tenths and pay them high wages or do their own work. Now, to meet these difficulties, we see no other way than to devise some means for train- ing these inexperienced candidates for domes- tic help. We propose, therefore, that a goodly number of housekee who desire to employ good and reliable help should organize them- selves into a protective employment associa- tion, establish an employment office, and, in counection therewith, a training and’ practice sobool, undor the direction and instruction of an experienced, intelligent cook and house- keeper, with such properly qualified assistants as she may need, for the purpose of receiving and training candidate pupils, who, aftor they have received » proper training, shall be enti- tled to receive a certificate of their qualifica- tions and of their reliability. The board of in- struction should recommend to the association such as are truly Worthy, and the association should establish an agency, which should be always ready to provide good help for all par- ties who will pay to the association « stipulated fee, The aasociation should fix upon a proper scale of wages, based uponskilland experience, which the oe ploye who fulfills the contract. Of course ey- ery candidate pupil should be required to pay suitable entrance foe, and also guarantee a portion of the wages for some stipulated time. If all housekeepers will obligate themselv to bor gi such help, and only such as will submit to an examination by the training teach- ers the housekeepers of our city will be relieved from thespresent intolerable nuisance of unre- Mable, exacting and unskilled help, If the plan above proposed should be adopted and carried out in earnest it would soon become a self-e i institution, besides being a blessing to our community, ZR. ‘ —— Tax Onxrrgotocists Apsovan.—The Amer- ioan Ornithologists’ Union held its session at the natio museum yesterday afternoon, Papers were read by N. 8.

The death here to-day of Mr. Thomas Branch, of this city, will occasion sorrow in many states besides Virginia, for he was one of the best- known men in the south. He would Mave been eighty-six years old the 284 of December next. He was elected from Petersburg as a union man to the convention held in Richmond which severed the relations between Virginia and the United States. He held out against secession until instructed by the overwhelming voice of his constituency, After the state se- ceded he gave his whole heart to the cause and aided the confederacy in hoe way he could. He was at the head of the well-kiown banking firm of Thomas Branch & Oo., and was for years president of the Merchants’ Na- tional bank, of this city. He has been for many years one of the le: Methodists of the south, and has been one of the representa- tives of the Virginia conference coutinuously for many sessions in the Cee = conference.

A RAINY SEASON BUT ACTIVE REAL ESTATE MAR- KET IN FALLS CHURCH, Correspondence of Tus EVENING Stan. Faxts Cuvecn, Va., Nov. 15. We have had a rainy spring, summer and fall, The latter season, for the frequency of the rains and amount of the waterfall, so far as my observation has gone, is without precedent. On the best potato land there has been no time yet when the ground was in good condition for digging the late crop. So far the wet earth adheres to the tubers with the stick of a “poor man’s plaster.” Owing to the unfavorable me- teorological conditions for health, there has been a rather unusual amount of sickness in the country round about our place this au- tumn, now nearly spent. remarkable as it al- ways has been for salubrity. Our village is, at the present time, in a very satisfactory san- itary state. ‘This is the firsttime that I remember when persons desiring homes in the country have come here in the autumn seeking locations and buying. It has been the practice to come in the spring time. This fall purchases have been ag numerous as at any time during the year past. Mr. M. E. Church, since about the 1st of September, has sold the following properties: For Mr. E.J. Northrop to Mr. Lucian Garner, house and lot, $1,200; for Mr. W. W. Kinsley to ¥. J.

TWO DISTRICTS IN WHICH BOTH PARTIES CLAIM A MAJORITY, Baltimore Special to the Philadelphia Times, Nov. 15. Governor Jackson did not sign the certificates of the newly-elected Maryland congressmen to- day. The official returns from every district, excepting two election districts in Charles county, in the fifth congressional district. were in possession of the secretary of state, but no action was taken. The secretary of state, in ing on the fifth and estimating on the two election districts not officially returned; gives Roma democrat, o plurality of one vote. E confident of his election, declaring that he has a plurality of the votes if they are fairly counted. "The republicans regard as very sus- picious the delay in making the official returns of Charles county. On the day after the elec- tion Compton conceded Mudd’s election, and the returns then showed a plurality for Mudd, Should the certificate be given to Compton Mr, Mudd will carry his contest to the House of Representatives. n the fourth district, embracing the wards of the western portion’ of Baltimore city, the democrats are still claiming that a recount will show enough errors to overcome the plurality of Stockbridge, republican, As yet no pro- tests have been filed with the governor, but it is obvious that he awaits the decision of the democratic managers before awarding the certificates.
