Is no cold conventional hallway , but the

in which a fire blaios mcrrllv away to the
ticking ot n pretty French clock ot black
marble , nnd ot a long space at the

of cream painted steps which by
an easy grade leads to the

WHERE HIS WOnit IS DOHB .
The vlco presidents study or workshop Is
at the right of the ontrnnco in a. room oppo-
slto the stairway It is almost oval in shnoo
nnd it contains a bay window looking out on
Hbodo Island avenue In this bay window
there is a desk at which ono of the vlco
presidents secretaries writes , nnd the whole
room is packed full of the working materials
of n public man Aflat ' top Walnut desk as
big as a dining table stands in the center of
the room and the walls are lined with cases
of books Scrapbooks lie on tables here and
there , und the center desk is littered with
letters , papers and manuscript Atone
ono sldo of it the vice presi
dent sits in an arm chair , nnd opposite him
his confidential sccrotnry , Mr liobort Chil
ton , who has boon with Mr Morton for
years The walls ot this workshop are lined
from the oalc wainscoting to the picture rod
with portraits nnd thn noted friends of Mr
Morton look down upon him as ho docs his
work In the center of the wall nt his right
thcro is a big photograph in a black tramo of
Gambettn , who was premier during a part of
the time ho was minister at Paris , and on
the opposite sldo of the room is a line etch
ing ol Prosldont Gartteld , whllo in a corner
next to the mantel hangs a big photograph
of President Harrison with a half , length
portrait above him of tbo prosldont ot tbo
French ropublio , Mr Carnet President
Carnet sent this picture to Vice-Pros-
luont Morton a few days ago with his compli
ments , and the vice president has photo
graphs of all tbo great , leaders ot France
The mantel piece if lined with photographs ,
and there is a flno old engraving of La-
fayctto by Ary Schaeffer on the wall near
the door
Vice Prosldont Morton has artlstio tastes ,
and throughout his whole house you may
see the pictures and engravings wblch ho
picked up abroad There is little now furniture -
turo in the nouso , so Mrs Morton tolls mo ,
and the most of the things used were
brought hero from New Yorn nnd Paris
Leave the workshop aud cross the ball and
you enter tbo parlors They are separated
from the hall by portiers You notice that
ono of these portiors is ot rich brown velvet
plush embroidered with flowers and the
otber a costlv Turkish curtain which evi
dently oneo closed the door of a Mohamme
dan mosque You pass by a scrcon covered
with flno broussa embroidery in going into
the library , and this library is the first of
the parlors It is n largo room walled with
low book cases and hung with flno paintings
Tbo cases como to the Jioight of your waist ,
nnd books in flno blnd . ings look out of the
shelves through glass doors Above tno
cases , the walln are hung with dark red
satin of a flno enouch quality to make a
dross for .a wbito bouse reception , aud
against this background hang the paintings
Thcro are two full-lonirth portraits os the
vlco president and bis wife by lionnat ,
and these ban ? on the two
sides of the back of tbo room These
portraits are very fine , and the ono of
the vlco president the great French artist
say3 ho considu the second best thing bo
has over done Itropresents Vice President
Morton stnndintr It is life-slzo and It is a
work of wonderful art The painting of
Mrs Morton is equally flno and the vlco
presidents wife is ono of the handsomest ot
the wives of our statesmen She is of medium -
dium hcleht , straight , well-formed and her
face Is full of strength nnd character She
bns blue eves and she dresses in exquisite
taste This picture ropiesents her in an
evening costumoot dark red velvet and the
color shows to advantage her beautiful neck
and urms
The photographs of tbo room , however ,
are quito as interesting as the pictures
They nro as numeious as thoso-of the study
They are Bcuttorcd from ono end of tbo li
brary to the other and they stand In collec
tions aud singly on every nvnllable spot
Ono scrcemltko frame of thirty cablnot
photographs represents the royal fami
lies ot Eurono and Mrs Morton picked
thcso un whllo she was abroad I
asked her whether she had met all
the persons represented in the frame , but
slio told inn that thu French court wus a ra
publican ono und that her acquaintances had
neon moro democratic She pointed to an
other frame In which the uicturcs of Gam
bettn and other French loaders stood sldo by
side with iiluino , Lincoln , nnd other Ameri
can statesmen , and she showed mo a small
Sevres bust of President Grovy which he
bad given to Minister Morton
Vlco Prcsidont Morton's house strangely
enough rivals the white house not only as a
socloty center but oven iu tbo style of its
flulsn The library Is the rod room , nnd
the room that opens into this Is furnished in
a tint very nearly akin to that of the blue
room of the white house There is a third
parlor , whoso walls are hung in satin of t
grcoulsb tiut , aud should the vice president
takeout his dining table and turn bis din
ing-room into a ball room ho would
have a small cant room at the end
The furniture of those two second parlors
Is of gilt wood upholstered In delicate yellow
satin , and tbo pictures which bang upon the
walls are by noted artists A red velvet
carpet runs through the soveuty-llvo feet of
reception rooms und a red velvet rug forms
the ceutor of tbo dlnlug room The house
itself Is turnlsbod in exquisite tastonnd itis
one of tbo flno , though uot the tincst , house
at the capital Mr Morton's stable Is as
elaborate as his house It is u part ot the
house nnd is ot the same red pressed brick
with black lines running around it The
vice president bas a swell coachman and
footman in n rich plum-colored livery who
weur stiff enckadod bats and drlvo bis high
stopping bays hitched to a big coach with
, red wboels

During tbo winter much bas been said
about the vice presidents bar at bis new
Shorebam hotel This hotel Is n big apart
ment house nt which many of the most noted
of Washington people live and forwhlchthey
puy from 91.600 to fl.SOO per year Tor u suite
of lurnished rooms Thcro is a restaurant
on tbo ground floor and it was in this that
the bar was said to be located Mr Morton's
agents were jnterviewed on the subject and
ho himself expevssed great indignation at
the statement , Tbo truth is that the appli
cation for a license to sell liquor was made
without his knowledge and that be had no in
tcrcst in the hotel beyond the leasing of its
auurtments through bis agents It was true
that a license bad been granted , but Is was a
part of the agreement at tbo time of the rent
ing of the ilau that no part ot them should
bo used as a bar or saloon for the sale of
wines , malt or splrltous liquors These
flat * now contain sixteen congress
men , and among the noted men who
live la tbeui are Senator Farwoll ,
Speaker Hoed and lloprcsontativo Cannon
The flats cost in the neighborhood ot a quar
ter of a million of dollars to build , and inas
much as no rooms are rented excent by the
year they probably pay a good interest on tbo
Investment Mr , Morton a * a vestryman of
the American Episcopal church at Paris , as
tbu sou of a preaoher and as a good Chris
tian , could hardly permit any of his tenants
to run a saloon en bis premises , and I am
surn would not It ho could He Is proud ot

The opportunity which is offered by
the occurrence of the fourth , centenary
of tlio discovery of America , is ono
which the nation ouRht to seize for giv
ing a stroner forward impulse to the
bontlinont of American nationality ,
writes Gonprul Francis A. Walker in
the February Forum Mon have said ,
and not foolishly , that the war ol seces
sion never could huvo occurred at all
had itbeon postponed until after 1870.
It Is corLuln that the ceutennial exhi
bition wus a mighty force malting , not
for centralization , but for national
unity The acnualntauco which wus
formed at Pniludolphia , In that year between -
twoen widely sundered sections and
clasps , hns had a prodigious inlluonco
upon the bubsequont life of the country
Yet the celebration of 167G
was but a trivial thine : in
this respect , to what the celebration
of 1802 may be made , if properly inau
gurated and carried on , with the pres
tige aud the resources of the now most
powerful naton upon earth , The
Philadelphia enterprise was in its in
ception almost wholly of local interest
During the llrst ninety-eight days the
number of naroisslons wus 8,700,620 ;
during the remaining sixty-ouo days
the uumber was 0,140,010. A largq portion
tion of our pOoplo did not And out until
the exhibition was well nigh its close
that they greatly cared to go An even
larger portion did not Und this out at
all until It was too late But today the
minds ot ourpeople are prepared to
take all that may bo offered ; and the
celebration ot 1802 will begin where
that of 1870 lbft off ; or rather it will
begin with a prestlgo and a force derived -
rived , not merely from the ultimate
success of the Philadelphia exhibition ,
but from the fame which that success
has aoqutrcd through the revolving
yews

'Ilia Soinfnoli'H of Florida ,
On a recent visit to Biscayne bay I
was brought In contact with some oftho
remnants ot the Seminole lndluns who
yet have their homos in thoovorglndes ,
says a writer in the Philadelphia ProBS
Ono thing In particular struck mo very
forcibly , und that was that the
Indians were . evidently very indus
trious people , as they brought down
the various rivers from tlio ever
glades , to sell and trade , hogs , chick
ens , ducks , eggs , vegetables , starch ,
corn , sirup , hidesi bird plumes , otc , as
also the fact that they were buying $100
sowing machines , furniture , and In ouo
enso a piano , as well us the most im
proved firearms , nitlmugh they lirusnv-
uges and are often badly treated and
worse cheated by some of the so-called
clvlllzod white men
This the Indian realizes , and us a con
'Bcquenco ' they keep aloof ns far as they
cin from the whites aud avoid ull con
tact possible with thorn ; nnd hence are
very ulltlcult to approach und not at all
communicative However , they live in
peace with each other and boar much
wrong to live iu pcaco with the whites
The government has tried frequently
to induce these Indians to take laud in
severalty , agreeing to give thom title
to 1C0 acres of land each But , asTigor
Tall said when President Arthur failed
to keep an appointment made to meet
him on the Ktsslwanoo river : White
man much cheokl • Ho heap lie ! Wash
ington man no good , poll Big Father
to go to grass " However , the Indian
says in regard to this Sand matter re
duced to English : Indian own all the
lanu the white man has not stolen Wo
dent want any title , possession is all
wo need , and peace "
Buddhism is spreading to a considerable
extent nuiong the female graduates ot the
universities aud ether young people of cul
ture in Europe , and tbo fuct is bolnff laid at
tbo door of Mai Muller , who is ohnnred
with having first brought test religion to the
attontiou of tbo Christian world , His de
fenders say that the converts are made
cbletly by Hindoos who come from India to
I attend the universities
