How the Nenr;sla Dficgalio Divide he Spoils of Offce, The Memorials Presented by Sen- ator Manderson, and Other Matters, A Visit to Varlous Persons and Places of Interest, artistioally bedecked parlors of which see many a face distingnihed in literary cir- cles at the recention «hich she gives on Tuesday even axs G iy the season. “The season” in Washington, everybody should know, begins with New Years and ends, or is supp sed to end, with Lont. A young Omaha journalist, who ovidently ‘mado a pretty extonsive ao- quaintance during his stay here laat win- ter, had given mo a letter to Mra. Bur- nott and the other evening I presented it. Dr. Burnett met and entertained mo until his talented wife camq down and wo talked on the ever fascinating subject of Washington and its future. “Everyone seems to fear,” said Dr. Burnett, ‘‘that with the large addition of Correspondence of The B, WasnineroN, December 11.—Some time last spring the Nebraska delegation in congress met for the purpose of ad- justing the matter of postoflice appoint- ments, and it was unanimously agreed that all questions under that head should bo left to the members of congreas in their respective districts. Since then this rule has been pretty well lived uy. to, Omaha and Nebraska city, where the senators reside, were excented, but in all other cases tho senators have promptly and heroically transferred all applications for postoffice appointments and reten- tions to their friends in the house and written explanatory lotters to the anx- ious parties. If this were not so the time of the senators would be frittered away in investigating the claims of rival individuals in territory with which the various representatives are supposed to have much better means of information. 1t is hoped, moreover, that the Nebraska wealthy people which is now being made to our population, society hero will be divided into two circles, that of the purely aristocratic and wealthy and that of the official class. In_any other city, in Philadelphia or New York, this would be und is the case, but in Washington it can never be, and I'll tell you the reason. Society 18 te bo lod here by the officiala of the governmont, whatever the condi- tion of their purses and however tem- porary their residence, and mot by the rich. No lady, for instance, no matter what her weaith, can take precedence of the wife of the secretary of state, as at present there is no lady at the White Hous There may be very elegant little dinners given and all that, but at all large receptions wealth ives place to rank. None of us would ike to see it otherwise.” When Mrs. Burnett entered the con- versation changed to remarks upon THE DREADFUL CRUSH that attended tho opening day of con gress, particularly ‘in the house. The great unwashed held sway that day, and influence and name and cards were no avail in the impatient crowd, Mrs. Bur- nett and her frionds, like many others delegation will be able to act unitedly in appointments of this kind, and, so far, everything has been harmonious among them., ANOTHER THING which “constituents” should bear in mind when thoy start to correspond with their representatives in congress is, that thero is no possible way in which pen- sions can be pushed here, and that no influence whatever can take a case out of its regular order except it bo a caso of immediate distress or the petitioner be an object of charity. ALl that senators can do i1 to ask a statement of the con- dition of the claim, with information as to what needs to be done in the matter, to be forwarded through them to the claimant. . This information, which can- not be obtained by writing directly to the pension office, can always and will always be cheerfully obtained by sena- tors or representatives for their home peeple, 1f the pension offico was to an- swer all letters demanding information as to this claim and that claim which come directly to it, its clerks would do nothing else.” Restraining it to the con- gressional channel relieves the immediate pressure on the oftice. 1If this fact were more generally known there would be less growling at inattention to claims by the bureau. A sonator’s corresponlence is some- thing enormous and_his postage bill a matter of 80 many dollars a week, LETTERS FOUR IN on every conceivable subject, demanding in almost all cases lengthy replies. Peo- ple seem to have forgotten that the franking privilege is done away with,and that stationery is not plunder. A sena- tor is allowed 8125 a year for stationery but in nearly all cases the outlayis great- erthan can be covered by that figure. There are no **perquisites” to the oftice and a senator pays for what he orders. NEBRASKA MEMORIALS, Nothing important will probably be undertaken by congress until after the holidays. Senator Manderson has pre- sented in the scnate the memorials and and joint resolutions which were adopted by the Nebraska legislature last winter. Their texts may have been forgotten so 1 copy them: Momorial and joint resolutions to_congress relative to lands in the state of Nebraska grantedto railroad companies and not tuxed- To the honorable Senate and House of Repre- sentatives of the United States: ‘Whereas the general government has made large and_generous grants of the public do- main to aid in the construction of railroads in t,hnl»tnlu of Nebraska, as well as other states; ang Whereas certain railrond companies in the stateof Nebraska having neglected to obtain patents upon large portions of such lands and e o5 on the same; and ‘Whereas it is manifest injustice te all citi- zens of this state, and particularly to settlors in the immediate vicinity of said lands, who are by their industiy and improvements add- value to said lands, and at the same time being unjustly taxed for the support of local and state government: Therefore, Be it resolved by (e snate and howse of yep- resentatives of the state of Nebraska, That our senators and representatives in congress aro requested o secure such action by tho heads of departments at Washington, or such legis- Intion by congress as will compel said railrond companies to take out patents for said lands, #0 thut they may be taxed, or that they may revert to the general government, and bo_sub- ject to the homestead and pre-emption laws, This will be referred to the committee cn railroads, when appointed.

But to continue my visit at Mrs. Bur- nott's. Her face is decidedly English, and crested witha great wane of curly hair. She is rather short and stout, and converses very delightfully, manifesting the greatest interest in public affairs. Her two dogs wero playing about er all the while, and one, an immense pug, was particularly affec- tionate. Mrs. Burnett is at present engaged on another drama. She sys that, like many other writers, she cannot compose when she will, but she goos to Ber room, which is on the third floor, every morning after breakfast, and whether she writes or mot, stays there until lunch. If the thoughts do not come readily she walks upand down the study, to sing a call into the air, a halnt of hers for many years. SERMONS FOIl THE SINFUL, There is to be a series of fine dis- courses at the Unitarian church this win- ter by various ominent divines. Rev. Robert Collyer opened the list last. Su day and drew o largo congregation. I went again in the evening and was un- able to enter on account of the crowd. He preaches in a fino, manly way, ap- parently without effort, talking directly to his hearers and occasionally making them laugh outright. *‘He'is very odd,” said the lady in whose pew I sat.

No one achieves all he hopes to, but the work is carried on, St. Peter's proba- bly was not all that Michael Angelo had conceived in his vision, Dr. Collyer, after mentioning that the day before was his sixtieth birthday, told us of THE IDEAL HE HAD MADE for himseli when a boy in England of a littlo cottage home in Pennsylvania, to realize which he had torn up the roots of his youth and transplanted them on American soil, leaving bohind him a sor- rowing and widowed mother. He had in his_heart this little cottage and the one woman whom he hoped some day to meet and children and plenty of books for them and the great free country all around and himself a citizen of it and holding a ballot in its government, And all this ho quietly worked for and real- ized and moro too.
