THR RXROUTIVE MANSION, History and Desoription of the President's Residence in Washineton, Philadelphia Telegraph The president's house at Washing- ton, which is. officially termed the Ex- ecutive Mansion, commonly called the White House, has a history that runs back nearly ninety years, Its corner- stone was laid under the superinten- dence of Captain James Hobon, as architect, on the 13th of October,1792. Captain Hobon was an Trish architect, direct from Dublin, via Charleston, who took the award of 800 for the design. cemetery, at Washington, and his de scendants still live in that city. The British destroyed the building in 1814, It was afterward rebuilt by Captain Hobon, and was first opened for the reception of visitors on Januar 1818, The portico, of four lofty col® umns on the north side, was added in 1820, during the administration of President Jackson. Tt is a lofty build- ing, two stories in height, having a frontage of 180 feet and a depth of 86 feet. The vestibule within the front door is 50x40 feet in dimensions. The famous east room, which was finished only fifty years ago, is 80 feet long by 40 wide and 22 feet in height. Eight large mirrors and three chandelliers of crystal and silver adorn it. The walls are covered with a gray paper, and the trimming of the furniture is grey reps and maroon velvet. With the exception of our public halls, it is probably the largest room in the coun- try, and for it sizo is cortainly the handsomest. It is the Mecea of all lady visitors to the capital The president’s office, which is in the wecond story, is also the cabinet room, and isnot a very large apartment for the White House, although about thirty-five or forty feet in dopth by ‘mrhnlmthirty feet wide, and with a high ceiling. A long table is in the middle of the floor, withleather-seated chairs around it; the two windows have long lambrequin curtains of a dark bluish-gray color. A large map of the United States is on the wall. The carpet is of a red tint, with large figures. The general effect of the room as one enters is that of a library without books. The White House is surrounded immediately by twenty acres of garden and park, The lawn 18 still & naked plain, reaching on to the Potomac, like a desert coming to the palace stairs. Like Versailles in the time of Louis XIV., Washington is a government creation, and the White House is memorable only for the people who havelived in it. Every one of our presidents, except Wash- ington, has lived in this great house, and he had poked his horse’s head in- to its portals to look at the workmen plastering on the scaflord. The original cost of the building in 1792 was about $333,000, and the total cost of the structure to the present time, with re- furnishing, etc., has been about $1,750,000. The unhealthful character of Washington in general, and of the White House locality in particular, has for years been a subject of com- plaint. Cnlture of the Melon. Of all the delicacies in the summer the melon is more welcomed than any of the fruits indigenious to our cli- mate, and deservedly so, not only on account of being a luxury, but for its beneficial effects on the system. Wo receive them by the thousands, and extra good ones command high prices, with quick sales. They are not grown to perfection on heavy clay soils, but on light sandy dry locations they reach immense proportions and ripen early. But while melons are grown more or less on all classes of soils, and every one seems to bo familiar with their cultivation, yet like everything else, there is & right way, and in ordor to have them of fair size and ’(uml quality it should be closely fol- owed. The same culture adapted to the watermelon applies also to the musk and cantelope varieties. Strange to say, while melons are known to us as being almost entirely composed of water, they prefer a very dry location, will not thrive in wet situations, and the vines endure drought to a great degree. They require plenty of room in which to grow, ten feet each way being better than a lesser distance. Many persons fiiw them a hoeing two or three times during the season, and the vines are gently removed or turned over to facilitate the process. ‘This is a great mistake, us the vines should on no condition be touched or removed. Not even are they to be allowed to be turned over by the wind, and a clod of dirt here and there should be placed to prevent it. Noth- ing is ' more inljuriuul to melons than the slightest disturbance of the vines, and yet how often do we sce thought- less gardeners walk at random over a field or patch of melons, disarranging the vines and doing damage that has no consideration because it is not known. In hoeing melons nover work any part of the hill that is covered by the vines, but work before them —that is, around the hill outside of the limit of growth already made by them, If grass has secured a stand in them, gently pull it up, care being taken not to disturb the vines more than is nec- essary to clean them out, and all man- ure and fertilizers should be applied before they begin to *“‘run.” Tho best manure is that which has been the oughly and completed rooted, He is buried in the Catholic | ]Nt point is to have the hills as rich as they can be made before putting in the seed, and the next is to let them take care of themselves. Just at the time the melons are half grown they seem to do well in hills where they are com- pletely hidden and shaded by tall grass and wecds, but this is due more to the fact that they are not disturbed in such cases, as the grass keeps every leaf of the vine inits place. With their broad, abundant leaves, specially adapted for the purpose, by deriving carbonic acid from the air, a operation, and the water is obtained by rootlets that penetrate not only downward but over a great surface of the ground. To know when they are ripe “plump” them by tapping with the thumb or finger nail. If the melon has a lond metalic ring, it is still green, but if the sound is a dull heavy thud, it is ripe; but no one can always tell of & surety when a melon is ripe, for heat often changes the sound, and much must be conjectured. Melons are heing improved i’unr and this season the seedsmen have brought out some very superior varicties. “LITTLE JOE.” Strange Adventures of a Man Who Jumped from the Big Bridge at St. Louis, Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. 8. Lovrs, June 7.—0Of all the ad- ventures related, that of Joseph Snell takes the rag off the bush, On Sun- day night, at a few minutes before dusk, Snell walked up to Jacob Cox, the bridge collector on the east end of the great structure. Said Snell to him, “TI'm dead-broke, I've been over to East St. Louis, and got away with 8100. Let me get over the bridge free, won't you? I'll pay you some other time,” ‘T ecan’t do that,” said Cox. ‘“It's against the rules.” *“Then take my coat and keep it, but let me over,” said Snell. T don’t want your coat,” said Cox. Snell, seeing there was no use trying to do any- thing with the bridge tender, turned on his heel and wn]fi\-:l back towards East St. Louis again. After continu- ing his journey east a few yards he met a stranger, and offered " to sell him the coat for a mickel. The stranger refused to buy, but gave Snelt a nickel. Snell took it and walked upon the bridge again, This time as he came up to Cox he handed hil tho nickel, and, s he passed him, he said: ““Here goes Little Joe.” This remark caussd the bridge col- lector to wonder, and as Snell walked on _he watched him. He saw him walking a little way, sit down on a bench, and in a deliberate way takeoft his shocs, then his pants and other clothing. There was nothingleft upon his body but his underclothing, when heclimbed on tothe bridge railing and stood there ready to take a long jump. As _he remained in this position sev- oral persons who had witnessed his previous movements, and who im- agined that he was disrobing on ac- count of the heat, ran towards him. As thoy reached him they heard him say, ‘“‘Good-by, Lassie Jane,” and then descend like an arrow into the rushing water below. Those on the bridge who saw him take the jnm peered over the railing and wundaru whether he would ever come up. As they watched they saw the man’s head rise. It bobbed up and down like a cork in the water. It was hard to tell whether the man was swimning or merely whirled to the surface by tho current, As they watched the dusk changed to darkness; and the dot in the water was lost sight of. No one of all the crowd on the bridge who saw the man go down imagined he would ever see earth again, But lere they were mistaken, for last evening Little Joo Snell turned up safe and sound, although hungry as a bear and a trifle sunburned. Two old men sailing down the river in a skiff, when near the Meier iron furnace, heard some one shouting for help. The cry came from Arsenal island. They looked and saw Little Joe on shore in his un- derclothing. He bogged them to come in and take him on board their boat and pilot him to this side. ‘‘How is it_you were mot drowned?” they asked Snell, when he told them he was the man who jumped from the bridge on Sunday night. “Well,” said he, gLl tell you, The minute T struck the water 1 realized what I had done. It scemed to me that I touched bottom in the river, but the moment I got on top again I stopped there, I struck out for shoro at first, but the current war 8o swift I found T couldn't get there, and so I just floated down with it until T was washed clean upon Arsenal Island,” Snell is a Swiss by birth, 36 years of age, and lives witgn his mother at 88 St. Charles street. He says he had been drinking steadil for two or three days prior to his ad- venture, and thinks tllmt if he had not made the jump he would have had the jim-jams or somothing olse. off, Corrospon cgraph. When Gen, Ignatieff passed through Vienna on the way tullmly, cighteon months or two years ago, he was asked by a gentleman of my acquaintance what he was going to do. *‘For the present,” he replied, “Je rentre dans ma coquille; but whenever the czaro- wich succeeds his father you will hear of me again,” When the general was appointed minister of the domains it was thought that the post being a non-political one, there was no ground what 18 equally as good, plenty of rich mould from the forests. If fertili- zers arc used, a mixture of equal parts of plaster, superphosphate, and mu- rate of potash is the best. They need but litl}u nitrogen, such as guano, and {ut they should have that little. Yinch back the ends of the shoots af- ter the young melons are formed, and if extra large ones are required, but two should be left on the vine. Melons delight in the hot days, and the fiercest rays of the sun which are dangerous to some plants, give the melon vines renewed vigor. While they need moisture and rain at cer- tain intervals, too much of it is injur- ious to them. The hot sands seom to be necessary to their growth toa cer- tain extent, which is no doubt owing more to a retention of heat by the sand than to what it receives during the day. The seed should not be put in the ground till all danger of frost or cool nights has passed. Sowmetimes the plants, while grow- ing, have the kept closel; 1y puhduound the roots, but there is xeally no advantage in it. The great- for n!lpn-]wnuiun, But the position to which ho has just boen promoted sud- denly places the whole geverning power of Russia in his hands. His first object will be to conciliate the nihilists, s ho knows perfectly well that he can not crush them. The task is not likely to prove an impossible one to the man who, when governor of Nijui Novgorod, converted the “roughs,” who every year plunder the merchants at the fair, into a disci- plined body of guardians of the peace. When that has been done we shall see the theories of Pan-Slavism applied to the practical field of Rus- sian foreign policy. Nor must it be forgotten that Gen, Ignatieff has u score to settle on his own account with two or three leading statesmen in Europe to whom his own suspension from office ‘was due, and who tore up the treaty of San Stefano scattering its fragments to the winds. Backed by the czar, Gen Ignatieff will make his political foes abroad feel that they triumphed too much and too soon. He accepted his defeat, and kuew how to wait, His turn has come perfect sugar factory is constantly in | every | THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY ~nuw. and his enemies, including Prince Bismarck himself, does not underrate what that implies.
