from Washington:
What is known as Chas Sumner's
time in the capitol grounds is dying
and will have to be taken away.
This tree stands in the center of the
walk leading from New Jersey av-
enue to the southeast entrance to
the Capitol Building, and was great
ly admired by Senator Sumner for
its splendid symetry and luxuriant
foliage. Some years ago when the
Capitol grounds were being re-
modled, the landscape architect
directed its removal to make room
for the walk, Senator Simon Cam-
eron, from his rooms at the Con-
gressional Hotel saw what wasgoing
on and ran over to the place in his
dressing-gown and slippers. He
made use of some very vigorous
language concerning the new
fangled landscape architecture that
was being introduced, and swore
that Sumner’s tree should not be
sacrificed. He said that Sumner
and he had never been friends, but
that as long as he lived he should
see that so noble an object of his
colleague’s affection should be
spared, So the tree was allowed to
stand an obstruction in the center
of the walk; but although Mr.
Cameron could tic the hands of the
woodman, he -cannot obstruct the
process of nature, and the tree must

The Brittish Court Journal has
the [[following concerning James
Russel: Lowell’s supposed inten-
tion of returning to England to
live permanently: “When Mr.
Lowell comes to reside permanent-
ly in this country he will choose
London or Oxford to live in. He
has not yet decided, hut probably
the charms which the most beauti-
ful of English cities possesses for
the scholar-jioct of America will
outweigh the attractions of life in
London. For the future he is like-
ly to form one of the circle of cele-
brities which the Master of Balliol
gathers round him. It is no secret
that when Mr. Lowell left us he left
his heart as well. True patriot as
lie is, he contracted in England in-
telectual ties stronger perhaps, than
any lie had formed in a country
where many of his old friends have
been dying off.
Two little idols, a god and god;
dess, of Aztecs, found near some
ruins near Zacatacas, are on view
at the Merchants Exchange. They
are queer little things, and we can
only wonder that men and women
of any tribe or kindred, or any age
or generation could worship such
hidious make-ups.—[Eagle Pass

Philadelphia Press: Senator Lo-
gan has the country, if not the Sen-
ate, with him in his desire for open
executive sessions of the Senate in
dealing with nominations. There
is something to be said in favor of
secret sessions when the senate is
considering foreign affairs. In all
other matters there is no good reas-
on for secrecy.

concealed on her premises it is not
Jones’fault, and she must suffer
the consequences.
Indianapolis Journal, (Rep): The
first effect of the free-trader’s pet
theory is lower prices to compete
with foreign made goods, and the
next is lower wages to make com-
peting prices possible. In short,
the free-trader has no business pre-
tending to represent the cause of
American labor. He is its greatest
enemy, and it requires the utmost
charity to say that he does not
know it.
Ft. Worth Gazette: When all
who associate themselves together
in labor organizations learn that
they do so to resist aggression and
injustice'and not to work injustice
that the object is to free themselves
