From our Special tjofte'sponflcnt. Wasiiikoton, D. c , Sept. 8, 1877i Tlio most attractive p'accs In the city Just now are tlie markets. Fruit) fltmcrs and vegetables are In their prime, and tbey iiave not been so plenty, lus clous and inexpensive for many years. Uuu ran live in Washington this season for the merest til Do, as fnr as eating goes, and set a table fit for a king not withstanding. Potatoes sell for Just half last cat's prices, tomatoes are 25c. n bushel, peaches, GO to 75c, grapes, Sc. a pound, pears, apples, plums, etc., c,msM;fidliigly cheap. Housewives nre thklng advantago of It, as the ap petizing i dor that greets One from open basement and kitchen windows gives evidence, and are laying In stores of goodies, in the line of preserves and pickles for writer use. We hear from various quarters that Congressmen are getting ready to seri ously consider the labor question this fall and winter. It Is high time. Some thing must be done for the thousands of unemployed families In our land be foie the cold weather comes upon them or the suffering and death will be Incst imaule. There are over four million of men in the United States lor whom there li no employment. If half of them would go to tanning, their productions would turnlsh work for the other half ; and there Is pleuty of good land for this. It is difficult to see why poor people who havtj neither work nor money Dock Into cities, but such is the fact. Surely poor people are poorer there thau they are In tho country. A man may always get a living. If tio more, oil a farm; but in a city he can, in these days, find ab solutely nothing to do, and lie must necesjailly grow poorer and poorer till public charity provides for him. Hap pily, laboring meu in several places are beginning to take a coiiiunioseiiso view of these matters. Iu our neighboring city of linltltLore some of the working muii are making a movement to obtain bread Hint will be suro to bring it. They have formed an association to emigrate to Kansas with their families and settle on the public lands in that State. Tho association Is wholly com posed of laborers farmers aud median Irs skilled In trudes useful In the West. The movement Is a most commendable one, and other cities would do well to Imitate It. Senator Morton, who was recently prostrated by a stroke of partial paraly sis, in California, Is reported as si. a y but surely recovering In Richmond, lnd. Ills son, however, lies at last ac counts at the point of death, with no hope uf recovery. The last steamer from Sitka, Alurka, where he Is, delay ed Us btartl'ig tvto days In the hope, of bringing torn edefinite news concerning bill, but leltatlast befoie his death, and no flit liter word can be had con cerning him till the last of this mouth. His frienus tdlll hope lie lives, but their hopes am without louudatlou according to bis physician's verdict. His probable death Is kept carefully Irom his father's knowledge. There is more or less talk of a revok ing, by the Piesident, of his pioclama lloii calling an extra session of Con gress iu October, but Cabinet members piofess to have heard nothing of the matter otllcially. Sec. McCrarj eats the Army appiuptiatlon must be avail able by Nuv. 1, at all events. People here are getting ready for the unusually brilliant season that Is com ing. Merchants am embellishing their wart-rooms, landlords are fitting up tlielr rooms, .odtty people are prepar ing rlche.-t toilete, livery men are filling tlielr stables with fine trappings, aud all tilings herpeak a right lively and excit ing winter. Without doubt society will be adorned by the pre-ence among us of the must talented, educated and in tellectual people In the country. Many accomplished literary men and arlMs are already here, and the National Cap ital will present uurivailea auiactiutis the coming winter. It is last becoming a desirable place of residence, and men of culture are finding out Us advantages and tuking up their abode here MmuuLL. The Mule Strike. Onco more was a mule. He had a pair ot limber legs aud heels at the end of them. Mule thought his master did not give him enough corn to eat. So, ot e day as the boss was passing behind him, be lifted up his heels and boosted blru to the other side of the barn. This Is what Mr. Mule called a strike. He thought be could get all tho corn he wanted now. Presently he wanted water. Ho didn't gee It, though, ne wanted more corn. He didn't get that. He went to bed that night without any supper. Next day he didn't have to '.Mirk; he didn't have to eat either. He. didn't have any company. All Iih bud to do was to stand stilt and think, ne couldn't Imagine why that master uf bis didn't come tu feed him. The next day was the same, and the next. Before that mule got anything to eat gain, be had grown so gaunt and gen tle that he was willing to keep his heels on the ground. The strike was ended, Pcnth of Thiers. London, September 45 A. m. Renter's telegram company has Just re ceived the following dispatch from Paris; Alt the journals announce that ex-President Thiers died qulto sudden ly at six o'clock yesterday evening at St. Cermain. Louis Adoiphe Thiers was born In Marseilles, April 10, 1707, and was educated at the Lyceum of that city and the law school of Alx, where he prac ticed at the har from 1818 to 1831. He then removed to Paris and began his career as u Journalist by writing for the Constitution and other Journals. His ability soon won htm powerful friends and he became the favorite of Lafitte Talleyrand. Between 1823-7 he pro duced his celebrated history ot the French revolution, In ton volumes. In January, 1830, with Mignuetand Car. rel, he started the National, which promoted the change of dynasty effect ed tbe following July. When Louis riillllppe ascended the throne M. Thiers became an official of the -treasury and was elected to the chamber of deputies. He was offered the ministry of finance, but declined in favor of Lafitto, although he really administered the oOlce. lie tetlred March 81, 1831, but In October of the following year took the post of minister of the under the Soult cabinet It was while In tills ofilco that he pro cured the arrest of the Duchess dn Iter rl, an act ho deemed necessary for the pr.clflcatlon of the Vendee at a time when all tho military resources of the nUiou were needed for the relief of Antwerp In the interest of Belgian In dependence. As a consequent) he quitted office, but soon took the port folio ot commerce, where he distin guished himself by securing largo ap propriations for public works. Early in 1CI34 he returned to tho interior de rartment, and rendered himself famous by surpresslng the bloody Insurrections Iu Paris anil Lyons. After quarrels with Soult and Mole, he finally retained lils office under the Duke de Broglie, and In December (18!U) took his seat In the French academy. The attempt ot Fieschl upon the king's lite in July, 18S5, caused him to support the restrict tlve press and Jury laws known as tho laws of September. After once re signing, in February, 1835, he became premier and minister of foreign affairs, but in August following he again re tired because of the king'j intervention in Spain. He was offered, but refused, the mission to Kussla. March, 1810, he was reinstated us premier, but his policy fur the armament of France nnd the fortifications of Paris being resisted be was succeeded October 20 by Gulzot. He now began his great work In twen ty volumes, "The History of the Con sulate and Empire," upon which ho was engaged from 1845 to 1802. At this same time, as the recognized leader of the opposition, he advocated enlight ened measures of education and progress and opposed political corruption and ulttamontane schemes. Shoitiy before the revolution ot 1848 he made a series of bitter macks on Louis Phllllppe, ad vocating political reforms, but not a republic, yet when the republic became n fact be accepted It and was elected to the constituent assembly. He support ed Louis Napoleon for the Presidency, and fouuht a duel witli Blxie. who had asseited that he depreciated Napoleon's election. In the assembly he was one or the most active leaders In the reac tloi.niy movement, but In January, 1851, alarmed at the removal ot Cliau garnler, he raised a vulco of warning against a second jxapoleouio empire He was arrested on the coup d'etat ot December 2, imprisoned uutil January u, nnd banished until August 7, 1852, He kept aloof from politics until 1803, when he was returned to the corns leg islature, by the Paris liberals, despite the opposition of the government. In the assembly he denounced the extrava gance ot the empire and opposed Its war with Mexico. In 18G0 and 1807 he exposed the, blunder ot the emperor In permuting the aggrandizement of Prus sia to the, detriment of France. In 1870 ho ounofeil the declaration of war against Prussia, main ninlng that the government being unprepared was rush log to certain defeat. He urged tho rlognrus iletenso ot Paris and visited the several courts to secure their liirlu ence in favor of an armlstice.his efforts incriasiug Ids popularl'y sud adding to his limn renown for stalemanshin, February 0, 1871, lie was elected to the assembly from tweutyslx provinces and nine days later the assembly made him chief executive ot the nation, lie negotiated the. peace, crushed the coin mine and iultl.ited tho measures for pajmr nit the national debt and I ho In deiunlty. August 31, 1871. his lerm of office as Indented for three ears, but toe ueie.it or the tallll bill (be was al ways a piotectlotilst) aud the opposl Hon in the assembly caused his reslgna Hon, Nay 24. 1873. He was succeed ed by MacMahon and the septenante.'J There were fifty-three pall bearers at the funeral ot Raphael Semmes. Half luLr guus wero fired all day at Mobile, Ala,, on (he day of the funeral. A Rhode Island woman, who died recently, expressed a dying wish that she should nut be burled or placed In a tomb. Herhushanil consequently built a stone coltage. on the shore of the bay exHClly like an ordinary dewelllna ex tern tli, In the ;ellar,f which her body Is kept. The building has but one room, which is tilted up with the fur nlture they had In their parlor when first nurrled, nnd (he surviving mem bers of the family now upend an hour 1 or so ttere In devotions each Sunday, Ilow the Pfcscut Pope was Elected. It was only by a mishap that Cardin al Mastl-Ferrettl attained the triple drown at all. The popular candidate Teas Cardinal Glztl, nnd the most pow erful man In the college Itself was Car dinal Lambruschlni. Mastl-Ferrettl was only one of a crowd, and In the first ballot he hardly seemed to be In the running. Lambruschlni had the high est number of votes, and everything seemed to mark him out as tho future pope. But there's many a slip 'twlxt the cup and the lip even a conclave,and the Italians have n proverb that, la these contests, the favorite never wins. 116 did not In this case. In the second and third ballots Mastl-Ferrettl came more and more distinctly to tho front, Glzzi disappeared from the lists, and Lambruschlni fell hopelessly Into tbe rear. But It Lambruschlni could only have kept open tbe conclave a few hours longer be might bave displaced his rival, and perhaps have placed tho tiara upon his own brows, on if not there, might at least have placed It up on the brows or his friend Jfranzonli for Mastl Ferretfl wos In bad odor with tho court ot Austria on account of his eympathy with the national party of Italy, and when the ballot that made him Pone was taken, the Austrian plenipotentiary was on his way from Vienna with a veto in Ills pocket against the archbishop of Imola, nnd with card inals enough In his train to turn the scale in favor of the Genoese cardinal. The veto arrived a few hours too late, nnd the lagging cardinals, entering the Holv city the day after the fair, found the Ron ans shouting vivas In honor ot a sovereign wnose name tney hardly knew how to pronounce. The telegraph and the railway have put an end to all risk ot anything of this kind happening again; for Rojqo Is now within speak inc distance of Vienna. Parts, Berlin and London; and unless the conclave sits, as it is said il will sit, within twenty-four hours of the Pope's death, and, under a dispensing bull, elects his successor in present! cadavere, there w I be a time between the announce ment of the Pope's death and the day usually fixed for the holding the con clave for all the cardinals of Europe to reach Rome and to nlve luelr votes. Macuilllan's Magazine. Sirs. Slddons. It was Mrs. Slddons who first com menced that pernicious star system which has done as much as anything to sap the very foundations of the theatri cal profession, and as soon as the Lon don season was over she scoured the provinces for fan.e and money. At Dublin site was again opposed by Mrs. Crawford, who, as tho wife of the su premo favorite Barry, had been Im mensely popular; and the Dubllnltes rallied around their old love, rreferlng her to the younger actress. Mrs. Sld dons' engagement was not a success, she hated the place and people, and her opinions oozing out were quite suffici ent to render her unpopular. The press wrote her down and ridiculed the emo tions her performances excited. One of thesn skits Is worth transcribing! On Saturday Mrs. Slddons, about whom all tho world has been talkina, exposed her beautiful, admantlne, soft and comely person, for the first lime, In the theatre royal Smockalley. The house was crowded with hundreds moro than It could hold, with thousands of admir ing spectators that went away without a sight, She was nature Itselt she was the most exquisite work of art. Several fainted before the curtain drew up. The fiddlers in tho orchestra blubbered like hungry children crying for their bread and but ter; and when tbe bell rang for music between the acts the tears ran from the ha8oon player's eyes In such showers that the choked they fingor stops, and maklnc a spout of the instrument, poured in such a torrent upon the first fiddler's book that, not seeing the over ture was in two sharps, the leader of the band actually played it In two flats; but the sobs aud sighs of the groaning audience nnd the noise of the corks drawn from the smelling bottles pre vented the mistake being discovered. The briny pond in the pit was three feet deep, and the people who were oblized to stand upon the benches were In that position up to their ankles In tears. An act or parliament to pre vent her from playing will certainly na-s. for she has Infested the volun teers. and they sit reading "The Fatal Marriage," crying and roaring nil the time. May the curses or an insulted nation pursud the gentlemen of the col lege, the gentlemen of the bar, and the peers and peeresses uui nisseu ner on tho second ulitht. True It Is that Mr. Uarrlck never could make anything of ber.and nronouncea ner ueio v nieciiocrl ty;true It Is the London audleucedld not like her. liut what ot that? The Scotch capital more than recompensed her Tor tbe slights of the Irish. Yet on her first nlclil lu Edluburgh, tbe bouse. although crammed, was freezing; scene after scene the auuieuce sat line mutes. and after om uf her greatest efforts a single voice exclaimed from the pit In a tone or judicial calmness, "mars nae sae bad I" liut on her second visit the Scotch wont as mad as tbe Londoners. In one day 2,057 people applied for tho 050 seats at the disposal of the ruange ment; the doors were besieged at noon, and footmen took their etaud at the box entrance as soon as the play was over, to secure their master's places for tbe I loiiowing uight. isveu the enured synod arranged I's meetings according 1 to performeuces.
