THE EXECUTIVE MANSION ,
History nnd Description of the
Prcflident'n Rosltlonco in
"Wanlilnrton.
Tclnrraph.
The prcaidoril'a homo at Washing
ton , which is.oftici.illy tonncd the Ex
ecutive MiuisSon , commonly called Iho
"Whito House , has a history that runs
back nearly ninety years. Ita corner-
atone was laid under the superinten
dence of Captain Jamoa Hobon , as
architect , oh the 1.1th of Octobcr,17 2.
Captain Hobon was an Irish architect ,
direct from Dublin , via Charleston ,
who took the award of $500 for the
design. ] Io is buried in the Catholic
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 January 1 ,
J818. The portico , of four lofty col
umns on the north side , was added in
1820 , during the administration of
President Jnckson. It is a lofty build
ing , two stories in height , having n
frontage of 180 feet and a depth of 80
feet. The vestibule within the front
door is uOx-IO feet in dimensions. _ The
famous east room , which was finished
only fifty yeara ago , in 80 feet lonff by
40 wide and 22 fcut in height. Eight
largo mirrors and three chandolliera of
crystal and silver adorn it. The walls
arc covered with n gray paper , and
thu trimming of the furniture IB grey
reps and maroon velvet. With the
exception of our public halls , it in
probably the largest room in the coun
try , and for ita size is certainly the
handsomest. It ia the Mecca of all
lady visitors to the capital The
prcsidont'fl ' office , which in in the
second story , ia also the cabinet room ,
and is not a very largo apartment for
the While House , although about
thirty-five or forty foot in depth by
pprhapa thirty fcut wide , and with n
hipli coiling. A loiiff table is in the
middle of the floor , with leather-seated
chairs around it ; the two windows
have long lambrequin curtains of a
tlark bluish-gray color. A largo map
of the United States is on the wall ,
The carpet is of a rod tint , with largo
ligures. The general ollod of the
room as ono enters is that of a library
without booko. The White IIouso ia
Kurrounded immediately by twenty
acres of garden and park. The lawn
ia still a naked plain , reaching on to
the Potomac , like a desert coming to
the palace stairs. Like Vorsaillea in
the time of Loin's XIV. , Washington
ia a government creation , and thu
'White llousu is memorable only for
the people who havolivedin it. Everyone
ono of our presidents , except Wash
ington , ban lived in this great house ,
and ho had poked his horse's head in
to ita jwrtals to look at the workmen
plastering on the scallord. The original
cost of tlio building in 1702 was about
S : 33,000 , and the total cost of the
structure to the present time , with re
furnishing , etc. , haa been about
$1,750,000. The unhualthful character
of AVushinglon in general , and of the
"White House locality particular ,
lias for years been a subjoot of com
plaint.
Culture of the Melon.
Of nil the delicacies in the summer
the melon is nipro welcomed than any
of the fruita indigonioua to our cli-
nrnto , and deservedly ao , not only on
account of being a luxury- but for ita
beneficial effects on the system. Wo
receive them by the thouiiands , and
extra good ones command high prices ,
with quick sales. They are not grown
to perfection on heavy clay soils , but
on lijjht Bandy dry locations they
reach immense- proportions and ripen
early. But while melons are grown
inoro or less on all classes of soils , and
uvory ono BCOIMB to bo familiar with
their cultivation , yet like everything
else , there is a right way , nnd in
order to have them of fair size and
good quality it should bo closely fol
lowed.
The same culture adapted to the
watermelon applies also to the musk
nnd cantclopo varieties. Strange to
ay , 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
dugroo. They require plenty of room
in which to grow , ton foot each way
being bettor than a lesser distance.
Many persona give thorn a hoeing two
or three times during the uoasou , and
the vines are gently removed or
turned over to facilitate the process.
This is a great mistake , as the vinea
xhould on no condition bo touched or
removed. Not even are they to bo
allowed to bo turned over by the
wind , and a clod of dirt here and there
HhouUl bo placed to prevent it. Noth
ing is'moro injurious to melons than
Iho slightest disturbance of the vinea ,
and yet how often do wo BOO thoughtless -
loss gardeuoru 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 never work any
part of thu hill that ia covered by the
vines , but work before them that ia ,
around the hill outside of the limit of
growth already niada by them. If
grass lias secured n aUunl in them ,
gently pull it up , care being taken not
to disturb the vines moru than is nec
essary to clean them out , and all man
ure and fertilisers should be applied
before they begin to "run.1' ' The best
manure is that which has been thor
oughly and completed rooted , or
what is equally as good , plenty of rich
mould from the forests. If fertili
zers are used , a mixture of equal parts
of plaster , superphosphate , and mu-
rate of potash is the best. They need
but little nitrogen , such as guano , and
yut they should have that Ijttlo.
Pinch back the ends of the shoots af
ter the young melons are formed , and
if extra largo ones are required , but
two ahould bo left on the vino.
Melons delight in the hot days , anil
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 scorn to
bo necessary to their growth to a cer
tain extent , which is no doubt owinfc ,
more , to a retention of heat by the
sand than to what it receives during
the day , The seed should not bo pu
iif the ground till all danger of fros
or cool nights lias passed.
Sometimes the plants , while grow
ing. jhavo 'tho earth kept closely
packed around the roots , but there is
xeally no advantage in it. The great
; st point is to have the hills as rich as
hey can bo made Iwforo putting in the
seed , and the next is to let them take
care of themselves. Just at the time
he melons arc half grown they acorn
o do well in hills where they arc com
pletely hidden and shaded by tall
fraas and weeds , but this is due more
o the fact that they are not disturbed
'n such cases , as the grass keeps every
caf of the vine in its place.
With thr.ir broad , abundant leaves ,
specially adapted for the purpoflOj by
leriving carbonic acid from the air , _ a
icrfcct sugar factory is constantly in
iperation , and the water is obtained
ly rootlets that penetrate not only
lownward but over a great surface of
he ground. To know when they are
ipe "plump" them by tapping with
he thumb or finger nail , If tlio
melon has a loud mctalic ring , it is
till green , but if the sound is a dull
icavy thud , it is ripe ; but no ono can
Iwaya toll of a surety when a melon
ripe , for heat often changes the
niiiul , nnd much must bo conjectured ,
ilolons are being improved every
ear and this season the seedsmen
mvo brought out some very superior
arictics.
"LITTLE JOB. "
itrnngo Advontnro * of n Mnn Wlio
Jumped from the Big Bridge
at St.
litpatcli to The Chicago Tribune.
Sr. Louis , Juno 7. Of all tlio ad-
enturos related , tliat of Joseph Snell
.akcs the rag oil' the bush. On Sun-
lay night , at n few ininuteB before
lusk , Snell walked up to Jacob Cox ,
ho.bridgo collector on the ua.it und of
ho great Rtriicturo. Said Snell to
litn , "I'm doad-broko. I'vo been over
o East St. Louis , nnd got away with
1100. Let me got over the bridge
rco , won't you ? I'll pay you seine
ithortimo. " "I can't do that , " said
3ox. "It's against the rules. " "Then
ako my coat and keep it , but let
no over , " Baid Snell. "I don't want
our coat , " said Cox. Snoll , seeing
hero was no use trying to do any-
hing with the bridge tender , turned
in his heel and walked back towards
Jast St. Louis again. After continu-
ng his journey east a few yards ho
not a stranger , nnd offered to sell
lini the coat for n nickel. The
itrnnger refused to buy , but gave
Snelt a nirkol. Snoll took it and
walked upon the bridge again. This
iniu as ho came up to Cox ho handed
liiu the nickel , and , as ho passed him ,
no said : "Horo goes Little Joe. "
This remark caussd the bridge col-
octor to wonder , and as Snell walked
on ho watched him. Ho saw him
valking n little way , sit down on n
> ouch , and in n deliberate way takooll
tis shoes , then his pants and other
slothing. There was nothing'loftunon
lis body but his underclothing , when
loclimbod on to the bridge railing nnd
stood there ready to take a long jump.
As he remained in this position Bay-
oral persons who had witnessed hia
irevious movements , and who im-
igined that ho waa disrobing on ac
count of the heat , _ ran towards him.
AH they reached him they hoard him
lay , "Good-by , Lasaio Jnno , " and
hen descend like an arrow into the
ushing water below. These on the
mdgo who saw him take the jump
leered ever the railing nnd wondered
vhothor ho would over como up. As
.hoy watched they saw the man a head
riso. It bobbed up and down like n
cork in the wator. It was hard to toll
whether the man was swimming or
merely fvhirlod to the surface by the
current. As they watched the dusk
changed to darkness ; nnd the dot in
the water was lost sight of. No ono
of all the crowd on the bridge who saw
ho man go down imagined ho would
over BOO earth again. But hero they
vero mistaken , for last evening Little
Joe Snoll turned up safe and sound ,
dthough hungry ns n boar and n trifle
sunburned. Two old men Bailing
down the river in a skid' , when near
ho Meier iron furnaoo , hoard someone
ono shouting for help. The cry came
"rom ArHOiml island. They looked
ind saw Little Joe on shore in his un-
lorclothing. Ho bogged them to
come in and take him on board their
> oat and pilot him to this aide. "How
a it you were neb drowned ? " they
iskod Snoll , when ho told them lie
vas the man who jumped from
lie bridge on Sunday night.
'Well , " said ho , "I will
ell you , The minute I Ktruck the
water 1 realized what I had done. It
ioomed to mo that I touched bottom
in the river , but the moment I got on
top again I stopped thoro. 1 struck
out for shorn at Iirat , but the current
, var BO swift I found I couldn't ' got
lierOj and HO I just floated down
with it until I was washed clean upon
Arsenal Island. " Snoll is a Swiss by
jjrth , JIG years of ago , and lives 'with
n's mother at 88 St. Charles stroot.
ilo says he had boon drinking steadily
'or ' two or three days prior to his nil-
venture , and thinks that if ho had not
nado the jump ho would have had the
im-janm or something olso.

When Gen. Ignatiufl' passed through
Vienna on the way to Italy , eighteen
iiontha or two years ago , ho was asked
jy n gentleman of my acquaintance
what ho waa going to do. "For the
irosont , " ho replied , "Jo rentro dans
.ua coquille ; but whenever the czaro-
wich succeeds his father you will hear
of mo again. " When the general was
appointed minister of the domains it
was thought that the post being a
non-political ono , there was no ground
for apprehension. But the position to
which ho has just boon promoted sud
denly places the whole governing
power of Russia in his hands. Ilia
iirat _ object will bo to conciliate the
nihilists , ua ho knows perfectly well
that ho can not crush them , The tank
is not likely to prove an impossible
ono to the man who , when governor
of Nijni Novgorod , converted the
"roughs , " who every year plunder the
merchants at the fair , into a disci
plined body of guardians of tin
poaco. When that has been dona wu
shall see the theories of Pun-Slavism
applied to the practical field of llus
man foreign policy.
Nor must jt bo forgotten that Gen.
Ignatielt' has u score to settle on his
own account with two or three loading
statesmen in Kuropo to whom lug owi
suspension from ofllco'wasduo , ant
who tore up the treaty of San Stefano
scattering ita fragments to the winds ,
Hacked by the czar , Gen Ignatielf wil
make his political foes abroad fool thai
they triumphed too much and too
BOOH. Ho accepted his defeat , am
know how to wait , Hit turn lias como
low , and his enemies , including Prince
Dismarck himself , docs not underrate
what that implies , ( ten , IgimticfTis a
( cnius an evil ono , if you like but
lis transcendent ability is beyond
question. All the Jominis WalowjclHi ,
and liegiern , who played second fiddle
ii Prince Gortsclmkoflr , are mere
Iwarfs compared to him. Twice 1
mvo had the advantage of conversing
with him , and on both occasions I waa
Iceply impressed by the powerful
nind of the man who was addressing
no.
no.Tho ascendency that ho has gained
ircr the czar need astonish nobody.
? ho only ground for surprise is that
10 should have been loft so long in
he background. Circumstanceswhich
were certainly altogether independent
> f his will , have placed him where he
s , and , with the government of llus-
lia under his control , the era of Pan-
jlavism begins.

Some weeks since ucitizonof Greon-
Held traded a mule to his neighbor for
i horse , warranting the old braver to
JQ sound in wind and limb. Not ten
days had elapsed when the mule bray-
3(1 ( hia lost bray nnd kicked his last
tick. Thu former owner refused to
> o responsible , and the result was a
aw suit which was concluded yester
iluy in Justice Alloy. When the plain
.itl'lmd told what hoknew and thought
ind suspected , his wife waa put on
ho stand , and on the cross-oxumina
ion the defendant's lawyer said :
"Mrs. Smith , what did that mule
die of I"
"Bolts , " was her prompt reply.
"Aro you euro ? "
"Yos , sir. "
"Wasn't the boast choked to death
with some fish bones you gave him
ilong with hia slop ? "
"No sir. Wo haven't had n fish in
Jio house for a year. "
"Wasn't it possible that ho might
liavo swallowed a hair pin ? "
"No , eir. I'vo counted my hair-
) ins and none are missing. "
'Do you over buy poison to kill
i-uls ? "
"Never. "
"Wore you homo when the mule
was first taken ? "
" 1 was. "
"And you know that hia ailment
waa bottsi'1
"Yos , air. "
"And you told your husband ao ? "
" 1 did. "
"Mrs. Smith , do you call yourself a
horse or a mule doctor ? "
"No , sir. "
"Well , how are you BO certain thai
this mule died of bolts1
"Bocuuso 1 nin. "
"I want a plain answer. How are
YOU so certain that the mule died of
betts ? "
"Well , I looked him all over , and
ho didn't have the meualos , chickenpox -

"How did you know ? "
"How did I know1 ? ' she echoed ii
