Washington Letter.
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

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

the several courts to secure their liirlu

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

first nurrled, nnd (he surviving mem

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
