Jerry Hush nml III "Noon" llliinrrs. (lo.slp of Trucy, W. U Scott, Urosvrnor Cliirlouit nml Others. IHpwIitl CorrcK)tidenco. Washington, Oct. 8. Tlio statesmen nru beginning to mnko their nppeurunco in Washington to got ready for tho long session of congress now approaching. House and room hunting la now tho or der of tho day, as all tho now senators and representatives, anil many of tho old ones, must (hid quarters for them selves and their families. Tho initiated know how to go about it, nml how to avoid being taken in by rapacious laud lords, and for tho benefit of tlioso who are not initiated, I will tell them that if they want a houso or a suite of rooms In this city they will do well to put tho matter in the hands of a real estate agent or soino friend who will conceal tho fact that tho quarters are wanted for a mem ber of congress. There is a sort of nnwritten law hero that if a congressman will stand it he is to bo always asked to pay about 110 per i cent, more for a houso than any ono else. Not that statesmen aio uudeslrablo ten ants, but that, as a rule, thoy are too proud to hunt around and hagglo for terms. Tills is particularly true of tho now congressmen, to whom a f,000 sal ary looks as big as tho inconio of a Van derbilt or a Gould. Two years ago a friend of mine, a new member of con gress, was about to sign a lease for a houso hero at a rental of $1, 200 a year, when ho happened to discover that tho sumo promises had been ollered to an other man for $700. When tho landlord was taken to task about this ho replied: Oh, that is nothing. Wo know you I nvtu uiuiuuvi) (tins nu iiiiiujo ftoi mcro from members than from other people. If you hadn't told mo you were u member I shouldn't have asked more than 700 at tho start." tttnfn o ittQitiltuv utttl iifn filiitfitfa nob 1 - 1- I President Harrison is ono statesman who doesn t have to worry nbmit finding n houso In Washington, tlo knows where ho is going to livo for at least a year and a half to come. After that all is uncertainty. Great preparations aro being made at tho White Houso for tho coming social Beacon. Mrs. Harrison will havo to assist her Mrs. McKee, her daughter and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Russell Harrison. I hear a bevy of fair friends from England aro coming over to spend u week or two at tho executive mansion friends who havo entertnined Mrs. McKeo and Mrs. Harrison during their sojourn abroad. Tho social allairs at the White Houso aro always brilliant, nml tills winter they nro expected to bo unusually resplendent. Tlio old houso never was so beautiful as it is today, and it is well worth a long journey to seo it when filled with the famous men and , women of tho capital. 1 advise nil my friends who read this ' letter to come down to Washington in I January or February and tako a jeep at ' Washington society and participate in j one of the White Houso receptions. ' There is no difficulty about getting in. 1 If an invitation be not extended to you on your own account, call on your sen- ! ator or representative and tell him what you want. Ho will tko you with him. If lie doesn't, nover vote for him again. I 1 throw out this gentle hint in good season, so that wives and daughters may ; make an early start in their littlo cam paigns against the pocketbooks of re luctant husbands and fathers. Speaking of tho president reminds me that last week I was astonished to hear that ho actually told a joke to 0110 of his callers during business hours. President Harrison is not much of a joker, and he cares littlo for tho light sort of conversa tion which with many men is a stock in trade. As a rule tho president is, dur ing business hours at least, very direct, practical, earnest nnd serious, hut one ; joke, nnd a joke on himself at that, lias made such an impression on his mind t that lie lias repeated it to several per- sons Ex-Postmaster General Hutton ' was at the White House one day shortly utter the president returned from his trip to the Pacific coast, and he spoke of 1 the kindly manner in which the press. without regard to politics, had spoken of the president's speeches delivered dur ing the tour. "Yes." said General Harrison, "tho press has treated me very kindly in deed." "Well." said Ilatton. "they were pretty good speeches: to tell you the troth. Mr President, the best speeches you ever made, in fact you never talk so well ns when standing on 1 tlio end of a Pullman car. Why is it I you can't make as good a speech at a dinner or in a hall? If I were you, Mr President, I would send to Mr. Pullman nutl borrow a palace car and keep it out here in the yard back of the White House, and when a delegation calls upon 1 you and you have to make them a little speech just adjourn the meeting to that I part of tho yard where the cur is. Then I you would always bo sure of saying something worth listening to." Tho president thinks this is a very good joke, but as yet ho has not sent for the palace i car I asked a gentleman of high station who was tho president's favoiite cabinet minister. "If you mean his nearest per sonal friend in the cabinet." ho replied, "my answer of course is Attorney Gen eral Miller They were, as you know, law partners, and their friendship is of long standing, very close and confiden tial. After the attorney general, Secre tary Tracy comes next in tho president's affections. I have heard General Haiii Min say that Xr Tracy was one of tho I most lovable men he ever met, and ho Icoiiiiiieiited on tiie fact that the only I man lie took into his cabinet as a stranger General Tracy and the presi dent liad never met before the former j came down to Washington to take his I seat at the presidential council table ( hail ijuickly become one of his warmest I personal friends and most valued ad visers Secretary Tracy is indeed an admirable tniiti plain, simple, sincere direct, thoughtful of tho rights and feelings of others, and with n tinge of unconscious melancholy In his composition, placed there by tho tragedy of two years ngo, to make him more interesting and fascinat ing. Ho has won the hearts of all the newspaper men by his kind treatment of them nhd his willingness to help them in every way he can A correspondent who called at tho secretary's houso ono recent night said ho round Mr. Tracy Hitting in Ills window smoking nml reading a newspaper, and In his shirt sleeves. Tho corresjwndont ollered to glvo his card to tho servant at tho door, but tho servant replied that a card was not necessary. that .Mr 'lraoy made it n rulo to seel every ono who wanted to see him. ' Uncle Jerry Husk is another favorite i with President Harrison. Tho secretary I of agriculture is, indeed, one of the most popular men in Washington. He is as I simple and unassuming as any farmer full of good humor and dry wit. Prob-1 ably nothing better than his response to , the man who joked him because ho wit . tho tall end of tho cabinet "Well, If 1 1 am tho tail end I will try to keep the Hies on? this administration" has been heard in Washington in many a day Undo Jerry gets oil a good many thin.;-' like that. I don't know another prom , nent man in Washington who goes to boil nH t,nrly 8 Mr, lusl ,i,)0!,. t is rare thing to find him up after I) o'clock in the evening, and he likes to retire about half past 8. Ho gets up at day light and, farmerlike, takes a peep at tho weather and comes in talking about tho possibility of frost and tho progress of tho corn crop. Another of Uncle Jer ry's peculiarities is his liking for tho old fashioned noon dinner. In Washington every ono takes lunch at midday and dinner at 0 or 7 in tho evening every " V ' . .Y" "..."", ...:Jf" '.".. f, ' U.:i T ..Tr' o o'clock sharp and his supiicr at U. Tlio death of W. L. Scott has remind- P1l n annA .,... i,oonl.i in Washington of ' ".- --- tho days iti which tho Into tnillioimiro I was n pago in tho houso of representa tivca hero. Even at thnt early ago Scott ' (leveloiKHl a rumarkahlo facility for money making. lie Baved up enough of I Mh salary to buy a horse and wagon, and iet tho ontflt t0 tl,0 KMttniMtor of tho house at good rates. Ho took a contract for carrying tho mails from tho railroad to some country postofllces in Maryland, and sublet tho contract at 11 profit. He bought a piece of real estnto in Wash ington out of his savings, and held to it till he was able to get about fifty dollars back for every ono put in. Wo havo a young p:igo in tho houso now or ho was in tho last house and hopes to bo in tho next who has mado about $20,000 by judicious investment of his savings in Washington real estato. Some day no doubt he. too. will bo a millionaire am a statesman. One of tho brightest, most manly lit tle fellows ever seen in Washington is tho youngest son of Mr. Clarkson, tho chairman of the national Republican cominitteo. Grosvenor is only nine, but lie is a lad of remarkable spirit and in dependence. Threo weeks ngo ho was at Fortress Monroe with his nurse and ills aunt, his father iwing busy in Now 1 York and his mother and elder lyothers ' not having returned from Europo. The next Sunday was his birthday, and ho wanted his father to spend that day with him at Fortress Monroe. Mr. Clarkson couldn't go, and telegraphed Grosvenor to that etfect. Imagine Mr. Clarkson's surprise on Sunday morning when Gros venor walked Into the (lining room of tllL. Phim hotoi wth H tho dignity nml self poiso of a veteran traveler, and took a seat by his father at the breakfast ta ble. "You wouldn't coino to rns, fa- 1 ther." ho said, "so I thought I would come to you. Came up by tho boat from I Norfolk. All by myself? Certainly." I There aro two things that 1 havo no ticed about Mr. Clarkson, one that ho in the busiest man in America aud the 1 other that he has more friends than any body else. 1 suppose this is because he is always doing things for other people. I and taking mighty little euro of his own 1 interests. I In speaking about the men whom tho I president is fond of I should have men tioned Mr. Clarkson. General Harrison has tho same opinion of the former etl- i itor of Des Moines that every one has ! who enjoys an opportunity to M-e some thing of the man's loyalty, heart and in tellectual resources. I happen to know that Mr. Clnrk-ou is in such high favor in the president's eye that he could havo had a seat 111 the cabinet long befou-this if he had wauled it. but he didn't want it. "I am not rich enough to take a seat in the cabinet.' he said "To go into a position like that a man must make up his mind to get ifd.UOO a year for doing J $50,000 wortli of work, and to spend $20,000 a year for the privilege of do ing it." Another newspaper man who enjoys the friendship of a host of jieople is Gen eral II. V. Boynton. Washington corre- , student of tho Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. General Uoynton has just printed in The Century a clever paper on "Public Men ami the Press," a topic which ho must be familiar with, for he has been a Washington correondeiii for about twenty-five years, and has been on terms of intimacy with most of the big men of that period. Boynton. like Clarkson. will run his legs off to help his friends, and has never developed nny facility for feathering his own nest. He liar. !eeti. and still is. a power in Washington, being both loved and feaicd In his private ami social rela tions with men General Boynton is mod est, retiring, generous, charitable, in his piofessiona! work he is critical ami alert. He can be vindictive, too, and it is an old saying here that if a public man has anything crooked in his career, and Boynton ge after him. the victim may as well retire at once to private life aud save trouble. Once started. Boynton never lets up. More than ono luckless yiiblic man has felt the force of his tieiichaut pen, ami many more will feel it in the future, for after a ijuarter of a ten' nry of active s.-r vice the Nestor of the corps of correspondents is as active and virile as ever. Wai.tkk WnM.MA.N. STOOD THE TEXT DOOK TE3T. A NuIhIiIo I'lrco of Oratory by .tunics (I. Ilbilnii. IHpeclul Cnrri'SHitidutice. Nkw YoiiK.Oet. 8. While I was chat ting with a ptofessor of elocution and rhetoric, who is a member of thu faculty of a New England college, a day or two since, lie satil that one evidence of the decay of oratory was tho dllllculty which teachers like himself had found In pro curing extracts from contemporaneous speeches which would bo Biiitablo for the use of students of oratory Ho said that perhaps tho highest test of the perma nent met it of a speech, so far as its ntu torical and rhetorical qualities were con cerued, was tho use of it made b professors of rhetoric, and tho Inset tlnn of extracts fiom It in the text books used for students of elocution and out tory. At one time Mr. Heeoher furnished h good many available extracts for tin young students; ii few quotations fmm I'M ward Everett's, Charles Stiimior'H and William Ii. Seward's speeches tiro made use of. Lincoln had furnished three ex tracts suitable for short orations, and they aro to be found in all modern le.M books. These lire quotations from his lirst and second inaugurals, and his Gettys burg oration in full. Webster's speeches had richer material for these professors to make use of than tho utterances of any other American orator Of recent addresses or orations, how over, with a single exception, almost nothing worthy of the usu of students had been discovered. Tho exception, the professor said, was an extract from an address of James G Ulaltie. This is tho peroration to Mr. Blaine's oulogy of General Garlield, delivered in thu house of representatives on tho 22d of Fobru- nry. 18S2. Tho professor said that tlio extract. wl.lcl. for some years passed al most unnoticed, just as Lincoln a Get tysburg oration did, has now became al most as familiar as was tlio immortal Gettysburg address, and Is sure to bo handed down to posterity as 11 noble ex ample of the use of tho English lan guage in the spirit of true oratory. This extract is perhaps tho only quota tion from Mr. Blaine's many speeches which will become something like a household word. It will bo carried down to posterity, just as Webster's famous address to tho survivors of tho buttle of Bunker Hill, or his upostropho to tlio Union In his Hayno speech will, through the frequency with which it is employed in schools and colleges by tlio young students of oratory. Mr. Blalno's pero ration Is now found in every text book 011 oratory which has been issued within tho lust five years, and at nil tho oratori cal displays in our colleges and schools for the past year or two this quotation had been heard as delivered by some one of the pupils. Yet at the time of its dolivery it ex cited littlo more attention than did Mr. Lincoln's address at Gettysburg. It was a noble nnd solemn occasion. Perhaps no orator over had a more inspiring audience or a more sympathetic and solemn theme than did Mr. Bluino upon that occasion. Tlio president of thu ' United States and his cabinet sat in the j circle in front of the members' desks and directly before Mr. Blaine. Sherman, I Sheridan, Huucock, Admiral Porter ami I all oi1 tho distinguished generals except- 1 ing Grant were there. Tho Supreme , court in its black robes were before him, distinguished senators ami ex-souatora I I were there, and in the gullet les were tho I families of some of tho most famous men ! in tho country. 1 Mr. Blaine read his address without any attempt whatever at elocutionary display, and when he finished it seemed to most of those who heard him that , while tho address was a most uoblo trib- ' ute to the memory of Garfield, yet it lacked thoso rhetorical flourishes and ! that oratorical manner which many re gard us essential to tho perfect oration. 1 That same criticism was made when Lincoln finished his Gettysburg address. Every ono recognized thu pathos of Mr. Blaine's closing words, yet nobody spoke of them as a perfect example of sublim ity of thought, purity of diction ami as callable of sustaining the highest tests of eloquence and oratory. Rather slowly did the public appreciation of the im mortal quality of these lines make itself manifest Today this speech is quoted everywhere as one of the most majestic aud perfect exhibitions of what true elo quence is that the English language oilers. Incidentally to this matter It is to bo noted that of all that distinguished com pany, not members of congress, who .it before him veiy few are now m the laud of the living. President Arthur is dead, and so are Secretary Frelinghuyscii nnd Secretary Folger Sherman, Sheri dan. Hancock and Admiral Porter aro dead, aud three members of the supreme court bench, including tho chief justice, have since then passed away, aud yet at that time there were many who thought that Mr. Blaine's hold on life was more frail than any of these men E. .1.

Hint Iron .structures lleoiiuit ITniiiife. By examining a worn bur or car wheel with an oidlnary microscope it will bo seen that tho worn surface is coining olT in thin flakes or scales. By applying a microscope of very high power, however, it will bo seen that iron is composed of a vast number of minute flakes held to gether by a peculiar cement, just as very flat ami long bricks might lie in a wall by mortar. Long continued jarring breaks up this cement to a lino powder with 110 adhesiveness, ami then the flakes of iron fall apart just as a brick wall would fall if tho mortar should turn to dry sand. But by somo law not well understood continuous motion in tho sumo direction destroys thocemeut many times faster than irregular motions. Thus a regiment of soldiers keeping step weaken an iron bridge more than ho many wild horses. Iltiw to Put Awuy flutter. Mix well together 0110 ouiico each of saltpeter and whitesugarand two ounces of best salt, all in fluo powder; give ono ounce of this mixture to each pound of butter and thoroughly work them to gether. Tho butter thus prepared is then to lie tightly pressed into clean, glazed earthenware vessels so ns to havo no vacant spaces. Butter thus put up acquires its finest flavor threo weeks later aud preserves it for a long time. Another method is to take fresh butter eighteen pounds, fine salt one pound, saltpeter one and a quarter ounces and honey or fine brown sugar two ounces. Work and press as above. Some fill tho vessels only to within one-half or three-quarter inch of tlio top and fill with coarse salt. How to Mnk Artlllrlul Cnrnl, Melt together four parts of yellow resin and one of vermilion. Dip tlio twigs, stems, carvings, etc., in it and then dry without touching. Tlio effect is very pretty. How to Makn Honey.

It is better to havo a charcoal fire or place the kettle on hot coals. As soon as the kettle Is taken off add thu whites of two eggs well beaten, stirring thoroughly. Two more pounds of puro honey added at that time will increase the honey flavor. A slight decoction of slippery elm is sometimes added while cooling, but in hot weather it is liable to foam and rise to tho surface. Ilou to .Make it ('In t li Viit'ririiiif.
