Side Scenes and Incidents of Life in Washiogton, The Growls of Disappointed Politi- clans—Missouri Colenels Still skirmishing for Com- misstons. Correspondence of Tir Bee Wasmsaron, D. O., April 20.—*“1t s awfully mean to kick a fellow when he's down,” sald a friend tho other day, speaking of the abuse being heaped upon the late postmaster general. ‘‘It's bad enough to bo an ex-cabinet officer, and have to go to the wall while somebody elsois in the ring, without maklng so much fuss and feathers about a little matter like & badly-written newspaper letter.” For my part, I have much real henrt-felt sympathy for Frank Hatton. I am inclined to think all the blunders of that letter to the Tribane, in defense of himself—I havo not eeen it—only the newspaper allusions to It, selecting the bad points; the good ones, of course, were not mentloned—never are—were the fault of the printers and proof- readers. We all know what a jolly, off- handed follow Frank Hatton i man coming up from the printers’ and much credit he deserves for being ambitious to mount the highest round of the ladder. I have no doubt that Frank Hatton as postmaster- general M GAVE BOME SOUND ADVICE to President Arthur. If President Ar- thur took that advice ls_another thing. I presume he did, for Postmaster.Gen- eral Vilas says he found the postoffice department in perfect order, and gives Mr. Hatton high compliment for his ex- ecutive ability. It is all a man's life 1s worth to get into print correctly. Iam reminded of what the anxlous wife of one of our distinguished men sald about her husband when he was busily engaged in writivg a speech, which, of course, would be printed. *‘I have to watch that speech as a hawk does a chicken to see that all the i's are dotted and all the t's crossed, and that the words are spelled right, and he makes fun of me and says the printers and proof readers wlill do all that, yee; and I tell him that all the newspapers in the country will be -saying how that senator murdera the kings En- glish fearfully, he can’t write a sentence correctly or spell half a dozen words right to save his life, and this kind of ridicule would kill his next chances for re-election.” The good wife was cor- rect. 5 WHAT THE PRESIDENT WON'T DO. 1 overhesrd a Missouri colonel, one of the 500 that now make their dally visits to the white house, say to a friend at the depot, who wes about leaving Washing- ton in disgust: *‘I havo just left a lot of Missourians painting Willard’s hotel red becauso the president flatly refused to make a clean eweep of all the republlcans holding office in Missourl. He sald he would not do it. When the term of oflice expired he would coasider the sp- pointments, 8o I don’t see_any use in my staying here any longer; of course I don't want an office, but come down to help the boys;" and off he rolled with the cars. “Who is that man?”’ I asked of the pe: son he had been talking to, *“‘Oh, one of St. Louis’ richest commerclal men why came here to back a lot of colonels for high office, but President Cleveland will stic® to his promised policy ard clvil ser- vice reform, and the red hot democrats can howl themsslves speachless, THF, PRESIDENT'S PRIVATE SECRETARY Ocl. Lamont, s a most remarkable man and one whose political qualifications I admire more than any one else I bave come In contact with in the new adminie- tration, He is always pollte, courieous and considerate of the press reporters, foellng no doubt that they have right as well as politiclans, and Is willing to give information while he tells no tales out of school, not he. He listens attentively to advice and informatlon, but glves little about the {nner-workings of the political machine, My firat sight of that delicate fragile looking fellow fairly took away my breath. I really believe I looked at him with mouth wlde open, 8o astorished was I. From all I had beard and read, a man who had ably filled the important positions of member of the New York leglslature, confidential friend and ad- viser of Samuel Tilden, and private sec- retary and friend confidential to Gover- nor Cleveland, and now his chief man and friend, I expected to see a very dif- ferent lcoking man from what I did see, and told him so, He laughed and asked me if' I expected to see a six footer. 1 replied, ““No, for I had heard you were not a large man, bat I dld expect to see a most formidable looking fellow,” Indeed I expected him to be a sort of man that would chill you at a glance and you wouldn't have the courage to ask for any- thing, while on the contrary his manner is 8o plessant*and conslderate you are tempted to make hlm your con- fidential friend too, He i slight; his face pale and deli young glrl's, his® pure bluo eyes having a wonderful depth and In them; his head i ng one, 1 assure gou,lnnd perfect in shape, covered with well-arranged light-brown balr; the blue veins on his temples are as distinet as an infant's, showing that he has no *‘bad habits.” His clear tho' pale complexion shows this, I am told that he uses tobacco in no form and does not tolerate it in work- ing hours about the white house, at least aboot his office, He is in physique what suggests - to me In size, movement and complexion a perfact poem—all things in harmony from the tip of his boots to the orown of his head, and all the detalls of his office ran with the smoothness and blending of music. He looks very young; were it not for his well-grown light- brown moustache, would not seem to be over twenty-one; hardly that, 1 have seen many & wtrapolog youth of twenty-one look~ older then does he. He cannot be very old at the best, though old In experlence, and I hear the great mental straln of the past six months is telling upon his health, for 1t 1s he who gets the first blow of all the political blows dealt at the White House; ’tls he who must see all the fot- tecs “‘personsl” and otherwlse; 'tls he who must all the speclal vieitors first, or thelr carde; in short, "tis he who keep gourd over the president., Heisnot cnly & man to admire officlally and polit- ically, but were I & young girl I think 1 could have no difficulty in falling in love with him at first sight, as I did with MRS, LAMONT and his two beautiful children, the most besutiful creatures 1 have ever seen.

The room was fall of callers st the time, By some unknown force 1 tarned around and beheld standing in a curtalned door, which divided the nursery from the parlor, two little belngs that had a gifted artist’s brush palnted, or skillful hand posed, could not have been more beautiful and ploturesque. In their tiny little arms they held waxen dolls, not half so waxen and pureas their own little faces, keenly alive to what was golng on; that dainty carlosity which la tenderly blended with dellcate modesty. Such a slght might bring Raphael to life again, And such a vision of heaven was worth all the pleasures of fashlonable so- cioty, and softens our hearts into s ten- derness that nothing else oan do. The woft clasp of thote tiny arms around my neck sent a thrill of happiness throngh my soul that no costly and brilllant neck- lace could poesibly awaken, and I folt that something ‘‘better than mortals know” had been given me. It Is not of- ten that one gets euch aglimpse of & purar and higher life In golng tha rounds of Washington soclety. Mrs, Lamont, the proud mother of the lovely cherubs and the happy wife of the president’s private secrotary, is a charming and Interesting Iady of faseinating conversational powers, and has already become very popular in socioty, though she does not have the appearance of one who Is over-fond of soclety doings, but loving domestic life and the companionehlp of her husband and children and a few choice friends. Sho is & bright brunette in complexion, her hair and eyes datk, a decidedly good looking lady of medium helght and girl- ish hgure, Her address Is most pleafing and frank, well calculated to make good friends, She dresses In perfect taste, and seems imbued with good sense in all things, and I feel surs wlll not hayve her head turned by all the good things eald of her. The ladies of the new adminls- tration have prominent places to fill, and I know all ot my readers will be glad to hear good tidings from them, and as far a8 lies in my power you shall hear from them as they are, for I wlsh to give ple- turea true to life. Cox. —t— A GREAT OROW ROOST. A Million Corn-Stealers Capture the Woods and Astound the Natives, Bushkill (Pa.) letter to the New York Sun. As Simon Trauel, a farmer living near High Knob, In the southwestern part of this county, was choppingin the woods about half way up the mountaln Thors- day last, he was attracted by a flock of crows which appeared suddenly from a southern direction and alighted in a high treo n hundred yards away. After a great deal of loud crowing the flock arose and flew away in the direction from which they camos Trauel then went on with his work. About the middle of the afternoon, an hour after the crows had taken their departure, he happeoed to look south- ward and saw that the sky was black with some approaching object. Ina few minutes he diecovered that it was an immense flock of crows, which soon swept into the Knob woods, and with a thunder of wing and deafening clamor of throats settled down into the trees whose leaf- less branches became bluckened with the birds from top to bottcm, For three hours flock after flock of crows poured In. to the woods, until the eide of the hill for aspace of more than forty acres was covered 8o thickly with them that big branches wers split from the trees be- neath their weight. It was nearly dark when the last flock found a resting-placs in the woods, and midnight came before quietnetss had been restored in the vast congregation. The crows remained in the woods until last Mon Early every morning flocks would start out from the colony, taking different directions, and after be- ing absent for an hour or so would one after another return. Thelr arrival was greeted with the widest commotion all through the woods, voclferous cawing and flapplng of wings being kegt up for utes. Then otifer flocks would go out, to be met with the same hubbub ¢n their return. The news of this great crow- roost spread around the thinly-settled reglon, and people came from far and near to hear the crows, Saturdsy & number of the natives agreed that 1t wonld be a good thing, now that they had apparently all the crows there were in the country within reach, to make nightly ralds on them, and thus save a good deal of future loss to cornfields. Accordingly a party of novon, armed with gans and_ long poles, sud some of them carryiog torches, began the work of destruction. They reached the woods whero the crows were sleeping about 9 o'clock. The torches were lit, and the raiders entered the woods. They had not proceeded far when they were greeted with a_yell of defiance from 100,000 crows. The yell was followed by hundreds of the birds boldly attacking the invading party, using both beak and claw with such effect that the surprised backwoodsmen were forced to flee to save themselves. Tliey were followed to the edge of the woods by flocks of Infurlated crows, and not a shot was fired ror a crow killed. Mondsy morning for the first time not a flock left the woods, but all was bustle, commotion and noise among the crows. The entsre colony seemed to be in motion among the trees, Crows were darting in all diractions, uttering peculiar crles, and evidently apxious to be evergwhere at once. Just before noon matters became comparatively quiet, and then small flocks began to emerge from the woods goirg in all directions, This exodus continuea until late In the afternoon, when every crow had dlsappeared, and nore came back. The acene in the plece of woods, they had occupled is described as re- markable. Every tree had one or more branches torn from it, and they lay plled about on the ground as if the trees had had been swept by a whirlwind, fvery foot of ground was torn up plainly by the crows searching for Insects for food. “‘Every apring,” says sn old citizen of this villsge, ‘“the crows, like wild pigeons, gsther somewhere about the country to do thelr courting and mate. This spring they happened to select the High Knob, because the scouts th-{ sent out to get a place for them liked It, and guided the rest to the spot. progresses flocks of crows go out to lect good nesting and foraging places, They come back to the roost and report, and a grand discussion is had on that, After these matters are all settled, and every crow is d, they form luto flocks of twenty er so and, after they bid each other good-bpe, leave for the le- speotive nesting places selectod for thom, Last Monday forenoon, when thsre was snch & commotlon among the crows on the Knob, they were taking leave of ona another, There will probably never be another crow-rosst 1o this part of the country, Next year it may be in Ken- tucky. e — Those Comp) re_Throat or Hoarseness should use BrowN's BRONCHIAL Trocues, The effect is extraordinary, par ticularly when used by siogers and epeakers for clearing the voice, As the love-making |y ASSASSINATION OF LINCOLN. Story of a Man Who was in the Box- Offiee. @rounds for the Belief That Booth Intended to Kill Grant. A Reminiscence of the Great Trag: edy That is Full of Interest. The Washington Evening Oritlo pub- lshes the following Interosting Intorview relative to the assassination af President Lincoln, Mr, Harry Ford, who is man- aging the opera house In Washington, s a brother of Mr. John T. Ford who owned the old Tenth Street theater. Mr. John T, Ford on the ulght of the assas- slnation was In Richmond vlsiting some friends. Mr. Harry Ford was in the box- office. With him weras J. S, Sess Ford, who is aleo connected with the present Fords. and the husband of Laura Keene. Miss Keeno was then playlng an engage- ment on Tenth street, the plece for that night being “Our American Cousin.” Mr. Ford had Invited the president and Gen, Grant to attend the performance, The Natlonal theater had also extended {o them a similar Invitation. Mr. Lin- coln accepted Mr. Ford's Invitation, Gen, Grant could not do so, because ho had | loft that day to visit his mother, who was living in New Jersey. Sald Mr. Ford to-day: THE OPPORTUNITY. “‘Booth, you see, as an actor and friend of the houte, had the full run of the place, He could go anywhera he wanted to. It was the casiest thing In the world for him to find his way without hin- drance and ‘without difliculty to the pres- ident’s box. I told him that we expect- ed President Lincoln and Gen. Grant at the play that night. Aleo told him that we wore going to have those two dls- tingulshed men on one side and Gen. Lee on the other. Booth broke into a denunclation of Lee for having glven up the sword of Virginls, which he had promised never to surrender. He, how- ever, showed no unusual excitement.” “Dld you see him when he came to the theatre in the evening?” “‘Yes; he came in about 8 o'c'ock. He atopped at the box-office and chatted a few minutes. He lald a cigar stump on the ledge in front of him, saylng, with a laugh, as he did so: ‘He who would this stump displace must meet J. Booth face faca to face.’ ” HEARD THE SHOT. “‘When did you next see him?’ “After the shooting. ~ We heard the shot In the box-oftice, but paid not at- tentlon to it at first. If you ecollect, there is a scene in ‘Our American Cousin’ in which 8ir Edward Trenchard putsa pistol to his head with euicidal intent, We in the box thought the pistol had gone off accidentally, but the noise and confuslon which followed, and the re- membrance that the attempted suiclde did not take place until the third act, made us change our minds. I throw open the wicket looking from the box-office upon the stage. Booth was crouched on the stage with a knife In his Land. He was crouched upon his side. 1 saw him get up and ran across the stage, from the rear of which he made his escaps. No, I dld not hear the words, slc _se=—per tyrannus. They were uted by Booth in the box. Ido not think that there is any doubt that Boeth Injured himself when he jumped from the box. 1 had, In the absence of the man who usually attended to such matter, arranged the box during the day. I had procured the loan of flags from the treasury department, and had hung in front of the box a picture of Washington. Booth's spur canght in_that picture. It was ripped down several inches.” ¢‘When you saw Booth crouched on the stage did you suspect what had occurred?” THE KNIFE FOR GRANT. “No; we thought that there had been a fight and that Booth was in it. We thovght tbat somecne had shot at him and that he had drawn his knife in self- defence. As soon as we learned the facts, and we were but a short time do- ing 80, I came to the conclusion that I have ever since held, that Booth {ntend- ed that knlfe for Geperal Grant,” Dr. Mary Walker used to go to this win- dow during the afternoon and look out on the busy street while she called up pleasant memorier of her past life. That afternoon she thought she would call up some more memories, #o she went over on the counter, snd from there jumped down on the windowalll, landing with all four foet In the plate of fiy-paper. At first sho rogarded It as a joke and treated the matter very lightly, but later on she observed that the fiy-papec stuck to her feet with great tenncity of purpose. She controlled herself and acted in the coolest manner, though you could have seen that mentally she sufferad intensely. She sat down a moment to mors fully outline a plan for the futare, In doing #0 she made a great mistake. The ges- ture resulted in glung the fly-paper to her parson In such a way that the edge turned up beMind in the most abrapt manner and caused her great Inconven- fenc e, Some one at that tlme langhed In ' course heartlers way, and could have seen the look of pain that Dr. Mary Walker gave him. Then she went away. She did g0 around the presoription cage as rest of us did, but strolled through middle of it and 89 on out through the glaes door at the rear of the store. Wo not the the did not seo her go throngh the glass door but we found pleces of fly~paper and fur on the ragged edges of a large aperturs in the glass, and we kind of jumped at tho conclusion that Dr. Mary Walker had taken that direction In retiring from the oom, Dr. Mary Walker never returned toSt. Paul her exact whereabouts ara not known though overy effort was made to find her. Fragments of fly paper and brindle hatr were found as far west as the Yellowstone National Park and as far north as the Britlsh line, but the doctor herself was not found. My own theory is that if she turned her bow to the west 8o as to catch the strong easterly gale on her quarter, with the sail she had set and her il pointing towards the zenith, the chances for Dr, Maay Walker's Immediate raturn are extremely elim. lessliioe SKIN DISEASES OCURED, By Dr, Frazier's Magio Ointment, Ouros if by magio: Pimples, Black Heads or Grub Blotches and Eruptions on the face, leaving the skin clear and beautiful, Also cures Itch, Salt Rhoum, Sore Nipples, Sore Lips and old, Obstinate Ulcers Sold by druggists, or ‘mailed on receipt _ price, 60 cents, Sold by Kubn & Co. and O, F.
