The enthusiasm of some found vent fn poetry. The following pro- Guction, entitled “The Central Spot,” shows the argument of locality. Hail, hall, thou bright, auspicious day! Which ne'er by us can be forgot. Let every freeman homage pay To the attractive central spot. Great Constantine a corner chose: We all have learnt Rome's fatal Jot.. And Petersburg shall Boon disclose "Tis wrong to leave the central spot. Our Washington's expanded mind, Whose name's exempt from every blot, The states in unity to bind, Directed to the central spot. ‘Then iet us firm, united, be, Scorning each foe's distracting plot. The manly sons of liberty Will always love the central spot. Arrival of President Adam The argument of geographical centrality is not so strong today as it was then, but the federal city is now in. reality, more than ever, the “central spot” of the Union, where its politics, tts patriotism, its re- Ngton and {ts science are focused. President Adams himself did not arrive until the ist of November, about two weeks before the time set for the opening of Con- gress. Owing to the absence of a quorum it was not until Monday, November 24, that both houses were organized, and on that day, at 12 o'clock, the President delivered his address in person to the two houses, as was the custom then. A military and civic Procession escorted him to the Capitol, where both houses were assembled in the Senate chamber, now the United States Supreme Court room. He was accompanied by the members of his cabinet and the United States marshal for the District. On entering the chamber he was escorted to the chair of the Vice President, who took @ seat on the right of the =<. There Was more ceremony in those days than now. Each house appointed @ committee to con. sider the President's address and draft a reply to it. When the reply was drafted and approved a committee was appointed ~ to walt on the President and ask him at him in the public room, but could not get a pair.” As it ts not to be supposed that any person sufficiently respectable to be invited to the President's table would be entirely shoeless, the deficiency must have been as to the particular pattern of his footwear. President Adams, though not so rigorous in his requirements, maintained a certain amount of form, and Mrs. Adams’ corre- spondence shows that a large part of her time was occupied in co-operating with her husband in the preservation of the ett- quette of the White House. She seem: however, to have been personally of a very tociable disposition, and her letters show that in spite of the distances s! had to travel she returned all visits made to her by the ladies of the District. She writes her daughter: “Yesterday I returned fifteen visits. My visitors, some of them, come three or four miles. Most of the ladies re- side in Georgetown or in scattered parts of the city at two and three miles distant.” The Life of a Congressman. Some of the best descriptions we have of the Washington of that day are to be found in letters written by members of Congress to their families, in which they enter into little details of everyday life that are very interesting. Among these the letters of Dr. Manasseh Cutler, a New England Congress- man, in 1801, are particularly descriptive. Writing to his daughter, he gives her the following account of his surroundings: “The block in which I live contains six houses, four storles high and very hand- somely furnished. It is situated east of the Capitol, on the highest ground fn the city. The four chambers are appropriated to the eight gentlemen who board in the family. In each chamber are two narrow field beds and feld curtains, with every necessary convenience for the boarders.” ‘The doctor was a Congregational minister and he felicitated himself on the fact that his fellow-boarders were “all members of the church,” although they were all Con- gressmen. He was fortunate in having for his landlord a Mr. King, whose wife was a Maryland lady, who fully maintained the traditional hospitality of her state and whose daughter added to the solid comforts of the table the charms of vocal and instru- mental music. Of the latter the doctor writes: “She does not converse much, but is very modest and agreeable. She plays with great skill on the forte piano, which she always accompanies with a most de- lightful voice. Mr. King has a most excel- lent forte piano, which is connected with an organ placed under it, which she fills and plays with her feet, while her fingers are employed upon the forte piano. The gen- tlemen spend two or three evenings every week in Mrs.King’s room, whete Miss Anna entertains us with delightful music. After we have been fatigued with the harangues of the hall in the day and conversing on politics—for we talk about nothing else— an hour of this music 1s delightful. On Sundays Miss Anna always plays psalm the federal court In Indiarapolis yester- day, Judge Woods ordered it recorded that the motion to continue the injunction here- tofore issued in this cause be continued to the first Tuesd: in September, 1804, and plaintiffs mey have until that time to file an amended bill, with leave for defendants to file earlier action. A like order was recorded in the case of the Loulsville, New Albany and Chicago railway vs. V. Debs, Edward C. Weeks, charged with being the leader of the Hammond strikers, went to jail in default of $500 bond. If Debs is con- victed at Chicago the case against him here will probably be dismissed. A PRIMITIVE BELL. The Tolling for Services is Done on a Big Plowshare. From the Florida Times-Union, In West Jacksonville is a small colored church. ‘The church fs an old edifice and its congregation has grown steadily until only one-half of it can be atconimodated at one time. The church has, no pell to call the pious people to worship, bat it has some- thing that answers the same purpose. About the time for the «brothers and sis- ters to assemble a smail boy, probably ten years old, steps outside:the:door with big plowshare dangling by: a:.string. In the other hand is a railroa@ spike. Every ten seconds or so he strikes the/plowshare with the spike and keeps it up for about ten min- utes, when he gives a Variation in a series of sharp raps to imitate the tolling of a bell. The imitation ts first rgte,@nd the sound is not at all unmusical and calls the people to the church just as effe¢tually as if the best bell in the world hung fh the steeple. —_+—- ees Uttering the Universal Cry. From the Minneapolis Times, How many more lives must be sacrificed in our large cities before the absolute neces- sity of putting all the wires underground will be realized? The sad death night be- fore last of Myron Finley only adds one more name to the long list of victims who have been immolated on this altar of in- difference or carelessness. Experience has already shown in scores of cases that it is not alone necessary to bury the electric light wires and those carrying currents so strong that they are known to be dangerous to life, but the Hghter wires like the tele- hone and telegraph wires which are Hable fo“come in contact with those of heavier currents, and which, being more frail and more easily broken, more commonly fall to the ground and twist into a snare of death for some unsuspecting passerby. All the wires should go under ground, and there is no excuse for any delay about their DurtaL You remember the views Plato held regard- ing this doctrine, | dare say?” “No—I—" “He believed, as he sets forth in his ‘Phaedo,’ that the soul has had many ex- istences in animals before it enters man. According to his view, as you may recollect, every soul on the death of the body it in- habits enters some other body, and after completing a cycle of 10,000 years returns to its original source. Origen, on the contrary —I knew his book, ‘De Principiis,’ by heart when I was a member of the Boston Society for the Investigation of the Occult—main- tained that souls who sinned in heaven were sent to earth to inhabit material bodies again, for the purpose of undergoing @ process of purification.

The American Association of Educators of Colored Youth convened at Union Bap- ust Church, Baltimore, yesterday in an- nual session. The delegates were welcomed by Mayor Latrobe. James M.

Condition of the Russian Jews. A dispatch to the London Chronicle from St. Petersburg says: Rabbi Joseph Kraus- kopf, a well-known Hebrew divine of the United States, has just started for the in- terior of Russia on a mission of inquiry into the conditions of the Russian and Pol- ish Jews, with a view to promoting their migration instead of emigration. The Rus- sian government fs adverse to the mission, but in view of the rabbi’s influential post- tion in the United States, he will probably be allowed to proceed with his work unmo- lested. The rabbi hoped to prevail upon the government to consent to the Jews quitting their present places of residence to found agricultural colonies in iess popu- lated parts of Russia. He says that the Jews of America have promised financia) support to the scheme, the club.

His laughter was infectious, but I was the only man who smiled. ‘The others turned uneasily in their chairs, ond stared out of the windows or began to read the newspapers. “Good morning, ha! ha!

But in Exercising Her Woman's Priv liege She Met No Warm Response. From the Yonkers Statesman. A curious-looking woman went into one of the biggest dry goods stores and looked around curiously. She was just as curious, too, as she looked. “Do you live in town?” said she to the I remarked before, I could not help srtiing | young lady clerk. and feeling glad with him. Not so the broker. With a troubled look he took the joyous man by the hand, spoke to him tn a low tone, and led bim out, the latter cen- tinuing to bubble and sputter lke an over- wrought tea kettle. Presently the troker re-entered, shook his head, and sighed. “That poor chap ives me the ehivers,” he said; “I wish he would keep out of here.” Then he went on to explain to me what was familiar to all his regular vis- itors. “That man,” he said, “was a specu lator.
