Mr. Smith re- sided at a pretty subur- ban cottage about two and one-balf miles from the city, named Sidney, the yery site of the new Roman Catholic University. ‘The century was not then in its teens and lectric roads in that or indeed in any locality were undreamed of, and the ordinary country of the to which he was so Pocaly alive, aaa pea eces cotanaee to him Set Le dotermiled “sbould it over be in his power to buy this ty.

THE ORIGINAL ECKINGTON HOUSE. In 1830 Mr. Gales built on the western side of the place the original Eckington house. It wasa simple frame cottage, planned by Mr. Charles B. King, the eminent artist, who was an intimate friend. It consisted of two stories with cellar basement. On the first floor were | four rooms of good size and a wide hall. with a back building adding kitchen and servants rooms; the upper floor had four chambers and s12foot square hbrary, where were written most of those brilliant, patriotic and states- | manlike editorials which, in_a measure, served to edueate the statesmen and patriots of a later day. A lotty wide portico supported by six Doric illars ex the whole front of the house. Frem this acrow the undulating hills to the south, over woods whose verdant tops formed THE OLD ECKINGTON MANSION. © leafy frame to the lovely picture, could be seon the silvery expanse of the Potomac with the Capitol in full relief, which, vet in its primi tive simplicity, was a picturesque and intere: ing feature, even before it expanded its wide ‘wings of the present day. and the small semi dome gare piace to the majestic i Liberty for all good patriots to reverentially admire. To the left, beyond the buildings and planta- of t of Brentwood road, runs the track of the B. and O. railrcad, disclosed by a long flume of steam ing the approaching train, a ing interest to Mr. Gales ‘as sight of ‘never-fail he enjoyed on the portico his evening cigar.

TWo JULY SCENES. On July 4, 1854, a pretty scene took place in the large hall. Mr. Gales, ever indulgent to the young and ever ready to contribute to their enjoyment, had for several years given on the Fourth of July the free use of the Eckington groves to the McKendree Sabbath school, and on this occasion Mr. Harkness, its chief, came with a number of the happy children to present “to Mr. and Mrs. Gales,” on part of “the offi- cers, teachers and children” of said school, a handsomely bound copy of the “Holy Bible,’ London edition, 1853, as «token of respeet and in gratitude for tne free use of the beautiful groves on many successive anniversaries of American independence.” ‘On another July morning, 1860, there came a larger throng to that same ball, the representa- tive mourners of every class of rich and poor, to pay their last tribute of respect and affection to their venerated friend, who was no more. ‘The sun shone brightly on the green meadows and home he had so loved and made so illus- trious: none that beheld can well forget that voluntary crowd of thousands of men and women and children who lined the roads and stood in solemn rank and silence as the funeral train, over a mile long, wended its way down ‘7th street and through Pennsylvania avenue to the Congressional cemetery, to lay to rest the city’s faithful friend and wise counsellor and the ever ready benefactor of its poor. There, j above his grave, stands the beautiful shaft erected to his memory by the members of the press of Boston, New York and Philadelphia. THE TRAMP OF ARMED MEN. No sooner had he passed away whose motto was “Union and liberty, now and forever, one and inseparable,” than the long and threatened alarum of war was sounded, and the tents of Burnside’s regiment arose amid the oxks and pines of Eckington hill, and through the grove further on were seen the glittering bayonets of various Pennsylvania and other state regiments. How httle those soldiers ofa day then knew what & serious thing was war! When Burnside’s command set forth for Bull Run, his horse’ neck was wreathed with flowers, and an Eck- ington gardenia was his boutouniere, and his men in havelocks white and dazzling marched away as to a mammoth picnic. Just here Eckington had a visit from Abra- ham Lincoln, accompanied by Mr. Gales’ old friend, Secretary Simon Cameron, bringing to Mrs. Gales a lieutenant's commission in the regular army for a young relative of Mr. Gales, now a major of artillery, and in course of con- versation Mr. Cameron mentioned the report of a battle at Bull Run. It proved too true, as next morning in the heavy falling rain re- turned sad, and discomfited, leader and men. Soon followed in rapid succession other battles. and the Eckington meadows were covered with hospital huts ani the mansion occupied by wounded soldiers in charge of army surgeons and their assistants, the medical corps of “Findlay Hospital.” Another interval and the aspect of Eckington has again changed. Concreted und well-lighted Streets conduct to pzetty cottages. Electric cars whizz through the clover and cornfields of yore, and the historic country seat of old has given way toa picturesque, orderly and pros- perous suburban town, thus fulfilling a predic. tion of Joseph Gales. Recent additions have been made to the man- sign, now converted into a summer hotel, and much of the old charm of the place has van- ished, but there is promise that it will continue to prosper in a manner worthy of the beautiful loved name of Eckington. sd A BLUNDERING FATHER. Bat He Won't Try to Make Himself Useful Again Without Inquiring. From the Yankee Blade. The neighbors are telling a good joke of a certain husband near Battersea Park, and, whether true or,not, it is good enough to pub- | lish. He is a bold, bad traveling man by pro- fession and is off on the road many months in the year, so that he gets little chance to be in the bosom of bis family. Being «loving hus- band and the father of five very interesting children, it is only natural that he should long for a chance to have a frolic with them. Now, as the story goes, he happened to strike town very unexpectedly ona recent afternoon. and immediately started for home to give his family a surprise. Mueb to his disappointment he found his wife and children were out. This was very discouraging, and in order to keep up his spirits he got out his old brier and stood at the front door for a smoke, Imagine, then, his pleasure upon bebolding his two youngest children placing in front of the house next door. He called the little on to him, and was wondering wliat he could do to amuse them, when it oceutred to him that his wife was in the babit of giving them a bath about this time every eveningand putting them to bed. It also occurred to him that it would bea good plan for him to take time by the forelock and give the chi dren their bath, thus relievi his wife and giving her a chance te him on her return, A short time later be had the babies up im the nursery and. in spite of their protestations, removed their garments ood a washing asa child ever bad.

Up to date about 4,500 persons have received euch grante—almost all of them on account of services in the late war —deriving from them allowances running all the way from #2. month to $5,000 per annum. In this category have been numbered the widows of four Presidents of the United States. It seems to be considered that €5,000 is annuity for the surviving relict of s chief magistrate of this nation.

THE FIRST SPECIAL PENSION. ‘The first special pension allowed on this ac- count was granted July 12, 1862, to the widow of Gen. Charles F. Smith. It was $50 a month. Subsequently, however, more generous ann ties were given to the widows of a number of oficers of thearmyand navy. The largest fter those of $5,000 each already mentioned, is drawn by the widow of the late Admiral David D. Porter. It is $2,500 per annum. The pension of Mra, David G. Farri Rut was set at $2.00. while the widows of Ad- mirals Charles R. Wilkes, C. M. McDougal and n received only $1,200 a year. Pensions of $2,000 per annum were granted by Congress to the widows of Gens. George H. ‘Thomas, W. 8. Hancock, John A. Logan, Frank H. Sheridan, George Crook, George B. McCletlan and John ©. Fremont. Congress has allowed 1,200 per annum to the widows of Generals Silas Casey, James A. Mower, George I. Stannard, John F. Hart- ranft, Samuel P. Heintzelman, G.

Ord and Robert H. Milroy and Col. RB. Ayres. In addition to the above nearly 200 widows of officers of all grades, from major general and admiral down, have become entitled to $50 a month by legislation for their private benefit. In addition to te allowances made for the individual widows Congress has sions toa good many di: \diers, in recompense for exceptional services performed. The highest annuity given in this way is $1,200 a year. This amount was settled upon Gens. James Shields, Franz Sigel, N. P. Banks, Abram Dur- yea, Horace Boughton and Alonzo Alden; also upon Col.

Ail others placed by special acts on the invalid pension roll are rated according to their dis- ities under the general pension laws, SOME ODD DISABILITIES. Some of the disabilities for which these special pensions have been allowed were in- curred in rather odd ways. For example, Private Thomas Riley receives #100 a month | for the loss of both hands.

Tho widow of Vice President Henry Wilson, who ied during his term of office, received a special grant of $10,222. Through both sessions of the last Congress there was a fight over a proposition to pay 85.745 to the widow of Chie. $7,419 to the widow of Justice Miller, those sums representing in each case the balance of salary for the full year of death. The Senate made great efforts to push the grants through, but the House would not agree, and they were Justice Waite and Some years ago acarpenter named John T.

Under the law which governed up to July 1, 1880, anybody who was judged to have been entitled to a government annuity from an earlier date might apply for = lump sum equiralent to the total of what would hare been allowed if the appeal had been made earlier. For example, the widow of » certain well-known general had never asked for aid from Uncle Sam because she was in her own right worth nearly a million of dollars, Hap- pening tobe in Washington somebody—this was in 1879—inquired why she did not draw a Pension. | The suggestion struck her favorably. sent her papers in due form, and very promptly she received a check for several thousand dollars. She had no use whatever for the money, and so she devoted it to the purchase ofan elaborate tombstone for the te lamented. The Indy’s claim was based on the statement that her husband died from disense contracted incidentally to duty during the late war. A veteran officer who had known him intimately winked his eye and said: “My recollection is that the general had the disease which killed him pretty’ badly before the war began.” To illustrate his meaning he carried his hand to his mouth with a peculiar crooking of the elbow. In fact, the man of whom he spoke for some time previous to his death had been in the habit of drinking two quarts of brandy daily. This indulgence brought on softening of the brain, one symptom of which was ex- hibited in an inclination of the patient to ex- hibit himself on the balcony in front of his house without a stitch of clothing. After Juiy 1, 1880, the law did not permit any applicant for’ a pension to draw money in ar- rears. This regulation governed until Corporal ‘Tanner found a way to get around it, He es- tabhished a system of reratings by which pen- sioners secured higher annuities than had pro- viously been granted to them. Not only were their allowances from the government increased for the future, but they were permitted to ¢: lect the difference covering all the previous period during yvhich they had drawn their sti- pends. This peculiar method of “readjust- ment” is illustrated by the case of an officer, who in 1863 had obtained an award of $158 month. ‘Twenty-six years later, in 1889, he ap- plied for a rerating at $30. month. He was successful, and his good luck brought him» Iump sum'in cash of @4,680—this amount rep: resenting the total that would have been pai to him during those twenty-six years if at the beginning he had been rated at $30. A REBATING CasE. In another instance a man was pensio ned in August, 1865, at 27.50. month, on account of malarial poisoning incurred during the war. On may 3, 1889, he was rerated at $17, and the dif- ference was paid to him in cash for all the time from 1865 up to the current date. He was then ‘ chief of division in the pension bureau. An- other employe of the bureau was allowed 96 a month in 1864. In 1889 he got a rerating, giv- ing him enough to make up $8. month for those twenty-five years, $15 a month from June, 1866, 18 from June, 1372, $24 from March, 1883, and £30 from August, 1836. ‘Thus he ob- tained several thousand dollars off hand, be- sides an inerease in his income. Mr. Cleveland has said that there shall not be any reratings under the present admiuistra- tion. ‘The pension roll of survivors of the war of 1812 is a wonderful list. There are 165 soldiers and sailors on it. Six of them are one hundred years old, five are one hundred and one years old, four one hundred and two rears old, two are one hundred and three years old; one, John W. Iretand of North Carolina, ix one hundced and four years old, and one, John Downey of Alabama, is one hundred and five years ol Of pensioned widows of men who fought in that war there are 6.651 surviving. Of course, the reazon why the number of them is so great is that many of the old soldiers married late in life—often on their deathbeds. In numerous instances, while with one foot in the grave, they wedded young girls. for the sake of the money allowances they ri ceived from the government and which they could bequeath. ‘Twenty widows of soldiers who fought in the American revolution still draw pensions.
