FROM WASHINGTON
Special to the (Jabbon Advooati
Washington, April 18, 1635
President Cleveland ami his admlmstra
tion seem to be jogging along notwllhetpnd
ing the terrible threats o( the old lin
Democrats to annihilate it inside of
month. 6o far as the ordinary observe
can discern the eld liners do not appear I
baye annihilated anything as yet. Bu
tbey are angry all tho Mine very angry
Many members of Congress have remained
in town over a month with the hope that
Mr. Cleveland wonbl shake the tree an
glve"tb boya" a chance to pick up a few
applea. Net only has the tree remained
unsnauen but tne Iruil Is within a most
tempting distance ami there does not appeal
to be any prospect of the President havin
tbe slightest inclination to gratify thei
dealie. Mr. Cleveland has given but on
bit of advice to all who call un him in
dissatisfied frame of mind. He dors not
make any promises but he simply tell
them all to wall aud that in due time ever
section of the country will be recognised
by the administration. This is very rig
comfort for tbe men wbe have fought Ih
battles oi tbe Democracy for the past
quarter of a century. There are serieii
fears entertained among Tennessee Doino
era Is that the President's course may resu
in turning oyer that State into the hands o
the Republicans. It ie common talk among
the 8tatea representatives In Cangress lha
unless the admiusitrsllon proves i troll
williug to recognisoboth wings of the parly
that it will lead to an open revolt before
many weeks.
The Democrats of Tennenee, that is I
say the yait majority of tbe parly in thai
State, are disgusted at tbe President's sp
pointmcats. One of them said to day:
Mr, Cleveland can gat along without
Tennessee,! guess Tennessee can do with
nut Mr. Cleviland. Last fall we thnagli
we were voting for a Democratic President
but it looks now as though wa had elected
a Civil Service reformer with Republics
proclivities. Jefferson founded the Demo
eratlq Party. Tbe principles enunciated by
Lull baye been tccepted by Democrats
everywhere up to Mr. Cleveland secession, b
To tliB true Democratic rotation In nK5c li
on of the cardinal principles of our polltl-1
tal faith. Tbo President entirely overlooked
this. Ills , altittidi toward tbe man whit
upported h I mi Is 1 1 51 ply this Ho lays ti
them la effect Yiu must be a good Demo
crat and vote the straight tirkr-t every tlm.
Leave the office to me, in order to glye tVe
best satisfaction to the entire country, It Is
ettor to allow the Republican officeholders
to retain their places: What is tho use o(
electing a Demooratls President ll not to
vacate these places and run the Govern
ment after our own ideas? For my own
part I am In fayor of a change, and tbo
change can't come too qnlckly for me. I
have about twenty fellows here who will
aye my blond next election If they are not
xtd. Tbe tsst phrase shows "wbcre tho
hoe pinches." Soma members of Congress
seem t think that it is the sole business of
the President to secure their re-slectlon.
Mr. Cleveland appears to take an entirely
different view ol the matter. Ha has an
idea that any member of Congress who
cannot gain the renewed support of bla
constituents without invoking the aid ol the
dministratlon should be williug to take
the chances of deleat. It is a nuvel view
for the majority of "the very hungry and
very thirdly," but it looks as though this is
all the comfort ihey will get.
It is understood that the policy of this
administration with rezard to appointments
to places in tbo Eoutheru Stales that are
now lield by colored Republicans will be
not to substitute white men lor colored mem
but to replace inn niietcnt or dishonet
culorod Republicans by colored Democrats
who are worthy and capable. Iu scoordance,
it is said, with this policy, the Postmaster
General has just appointed ex liepreeenl
live Tom Hamilton, of Beaufort.route agent
from Beaufort to Jacks lubnro, S. C. llamil
ton was tbe leader of a small handol colon d
men wbo eup orted the Ilamptou govern
ment in South Carnliua in IS70.
MMsti New York Letter.
Special to the Caibok Advocatx:
As an evidence of tbe progress that
raaiks-this wonderful city, we haven
new Loudon sensation iu tbe matter ol
ladltV costumes. An English firm baa
opened nu establishment in a fai-hiouublr
quarter, where a lady can step in and
furnish ben-elf with tv rv article in tbe
way of dress from tbe crowu of her
bead to thesnle of her foot, tbat any larij
cau reasonably require, at an hour's no
tice or no notice at nil. Attached to Hit
eatablisbment are fifteen living models
firat claks every cue of them, and em
bracing every wtight from ninety pounds
10 two hundred enn fifty, and ever
height from three feet ten to six feet two;
thty are handsome as pictures, and
blooming as peaches, and always read
for exhibition, and just imported lresb
Irom London. When a lady comes iu
and selects a dress, her measure is taken,
aud tbe appropriate model is called up.
she puts the dress on and then walk,
about, tits down, goes up stairs, and the
lady sees jnstexaoily bow she will look
herself under similar circumstances.
Wire Iratuea nro at a discount, end tbo
new models are all the lajc. In the
same establishment ladies' riding dressis
are made; at ono end or tbe room is a
I irge bobby horse. Tbe model dons the
dress nnd bat, and whip in band mounts
the fiery cbarger. It has all tho niotiou
ol u galloping horse, and the lidy then
will make uo mistake in her costume;
nben sue takes n ride in the Park, she-
can tell bow she will clrike tbe dudes.
It now remains lor some first class tailor
like Brooks to put in ten first class dudes,
and do for us poor fellows what this eu
terpriaiug firm has done for our "aivtetB
aud our cousins and our aunts."
Tbe Episcopalians of New Yorl are
preparing for grand revival, which will

made, at lenkt. tboui-auds of those who
acre loose iu their taith and negligent of
iheir duties, were confirmed nnd made
stronger, so that while not called are

aeuse of lie word. But the Episcopal
ChnrclibaH ntvirsaucliotud or apprcved

like a new revelation. It ia a little sing

men just in ll.n prime of life, the Ilv.
W. S. lUiio-ford, foimerly the Btroke oar
of tbe Cambridge crew; and the Rev.
I'arktr Mi man, one of the most famous
athletes of Oxlord. In their college days
thiso two excellent divines were tr
rpiently pitted against each other in feats
of strength, uud with tbe gloves they
were regarded na among Ibebeat amateur
boxers in England. Mr Raiuslord U
rector of St. Gturge's Churoh, aud Mr.

more ftrtlle field for ibe gospel plough
in New Yurk Ciiy, than can be fotud iu
Stern Leon or tbe bjuku of the Cougo.
We shall look hopefully for tbe regeuer

The game was only small, but It caused
quite a flutter in tbe streets, several nn
lucky firms being troubled with the

were out, so tbat cornering was not a
very expensive job. A clever firm of

I have been to the principal skating
rinks every night expecting to see Broth
er Tatmiiee taking a whirl with the boys.
His sermon last Sunday on roller skating
was au advertisement tor the Hubs worth
mauy thousand dollars. While Brother
Talmage ii a powerful preacher, he is
not as graceful as Apollo. I have fre
quently seeu bim in the pulpit, bat nev
er on roller skates. If the reverend gen
tlemau takes a spin I shall certainly be
around to see it.
Speaking of skating, a circumstance,
occurred here on Saturday night, which
made me exclaim
Alas for the rarity of human charity
Under tbe sunt '
A clcrgyujnii opened a so-called oharita-
Ida borne on Grand Street, where there
are lodgings to let for these tbat could
pay for them. To increase his receipts
be opened a skating rluk on tbe upper
loft, where boys and girls were allowed
to skate at fit teen ceuts a spin. A poor
shop girl aged sixteen went there last
-Saturday night, and on retiring gave the
skates she bad used to tbe attendant, he
followed her downstairs aud accused her
of stealing them sho denied it; and he
called a policeman, and the weeping gul
Wj dragged shrieking to tho police office
where she was locked np all night. The
poor girl was placed in a cell with the
female street tramps and vagabonds,
wilb which this city abounds;sbe sobbed
ns though her heart would break through
tbe whole of tbe long bitter night. Iu
the meantime tbe patents of tbe wretched
girl, almost cruied, were seeking tbsir
daughter in every portion of ibe city.
Tbe sanctinioniona old rascal wbo kept
tbe rink was quite indifferent abont tbe
agony be waa causing for bia seventy-five
cent skates. In the morning she was
brought before the police magistrate.and
there was not a particle of evidence
agaiDst her, and tbat worthy official was
so angered at tbe crnel wrong tbat bad
beeu done the poor girl, that be tore up
the complaint and threw it in the plain
tiffs face. Tbe girl wsb honorably dis
charged, and the plaintiff slunk ont of
court amid the jeers nnd biases of the
crowd who had assembled to see tbe
trial.
April will soon be gone, and the whole
of our German population are preparing
for the Mayfest. No holiday in nil the
year is more honored by tbe Germans
than tbe first days of tbe last spring
month. The Mayfest procession here is
n sight to see, uo finer body of men than
tbe Geranus cau be found in nil this
laud, and you see them at their best at
tbe Ma) fest. Tbe Amerieaua might well
take a leaf from the book of our German
brother. He is sober, industrious nnd
thrifty; but jet, he is no slave to mere
mouey etting, be can save more monfy
than u Yankee, a' d be will get ten time"
as much good out of what be does make

justns loud of fun as Lets himself eo

n good time together.
TI ey are good citizens, and New York
will Lang out its banners to do Ibem
honor ou Ibeir great national holiday.
There is little rii ubt il the weather keeps
fine aud warm, but forty or filly thou
saud Germans besides our ou German
population will assemble at tbe Mayfest
in Ntw Yrk, aud I will wager my exist
euce, during the entire week there will
be less disturbances among tbem than
there is at a volunteer ball or a sixth

ia iu the bauds of some of our wealthieat
German citizens, aud I predict for it a
grand success.

There Is one pleasure in this wotld
wbioh. unlike most others, is strength
ened by indulgence that of looking up
on beautiful pictures. We gaze aud
gaze, depart and come again, to drink
in tbe lights and shades and beautits of
the painter's wondrous art. Holt Is wilb
the crowds wbo daily throng tbe Alt
Gallery of the Exposition from morn
ing till night, a oontlnnoas stream of visi
tors areoomingaud departing from this
attractive resort. It may be tbat tbers
is nothing so very extraordiuary iu tbe
collection, but what is there, has tbe re
markable power of drawiug a full house
every day, end the mention of a few
pieoes may not bo without Interest to
your readers.
'Bracing up," a small painting, about
12i31, attracts much attention, as its
wonderful realism touches a tender
chord in tbe memory of many a specta
tor, who recalls the tremulous mornings
experienced after being out wlth the
boys! It is tbe picture of n vigorous old
toper unsteadily pouring an "eye-open
er'' into a glass, giving it meanwMIe a
look of most comical satisfaction, bis
only companion a cat, sleeping quietly
ou ber chair. Thomas Hill has a larger
painting entitled "The List Spike"
representing tbe sot of uniting the Uuion
and Central Paciflo railways in 18G9,
which coutains many life-size figures ol
the Dersous present ou tbat memorable
occasion, ii eluding tbe slooe noted San

wbioh the golden spike was drivon.wbile
mounted ou a ladder in tbe distance
stands a telegrapbio operator ready, nt n

Inred to the Gallery, but at preaent must

CALirOEKU AT NEW GELSAHS.
The older reader will remember how,
that lorty years ago, Calllornia was
scarcely heard mentioned in the Uuited
Stater, aud if rend of at all, only as a tar
off country, a sort of desert laud, inhab.
ited by barbarians and pirates, amoug
whom life aud property were disregard
ed and unsafe. Nor was it till long in
'iy aud the '608. that Americans gener
ally kuew that there was such a country.
Then, aud for yeais alter, it was looked
upon ns a mere sterile mining camp,
productive of nothing but gold, and even
that in uncertain quantities, in the pur
suit of which disappointment was the
rule and success tbe exception. Who
ever lo 1850 or even later years, had pre
dieted that California would become
within his generation, one of the first
agricultural Btates in the Union, mi ubt
well have been arrested on tbe charge of
lunacy. Yet here to-day she presents
herselt in tbe World's Exposition, not
only as one oi the first agricultural States
ot tbe Union, but challenging the oldest
States aud countries as a horticultural
section of tbe world, and competing even
sitb tbo West Iudies In tbe quality and
excellence of ber semi-tropical fruits,
Her exhibit here, made by tbe Southern
Pacific Railroad Company, isoueol mar
velous richness aud vari.tv, and of such
general interest to the whole couutrj
that your correspondent has giveu it
much alteutiou. as tbe piomised comple
tion of tbe Ship Rillway ucross tbe lath
mus, adds increased iuterest to the en-
ire Pacific coast.
In ber exhibit every variety of grain
and seeds occupy a leading place, tbe
whole crowned with heavy corn stalks 18
teet high, aud samples of wheat and
fl iur than which there never have been
Letter produced, having more than 3U00
specimens Irom every part ol the great
Slate. Oue of her private citizens, in
order to nnd iu making kuown Ibe excel,
lence of bis State as an agricultural gar
den, (Gen. Juo. Bidwell. ot Butte coun
ty), has a vast private exhibit of grains,
vlues, lruits, nuts, etc., ot his uwu pro
duction. There are ISO samples of grains
in shear from tbe Slate Uuiversity, in
this particular excelling uuy oftbeugri
cultural colleges of t. e older States; iu
this display is included benjp.ramie.fl.i,
wheat, etc Tnere is shown also u mud
el of tne celebrated Young harvesting
machine in use iu uo other country, be
cause of Its adaptation only to great
graiu fields. With this machine tout
men and sixteen horses cnt, thresh, sack
and lay down ready for market, ibe
grain from a forty acre lot, iu one day,
and repeat tbe operation as long as u
single field remains to be harvesied. In
addition to gram production tbe State
produces with equal facility not alone
all the sertii-tropio fruits, the vines, etc,
but the hardier trulls nud vegetables of
more northern couutrie-.
A few items of interest to people in
search of new homes, may here be put
dowu concerning California. It bas
within its limits an area rf 16S 000 square
mile-", or 99,000,000 acres, being the sec
ond largest State in tbe Union. There
are yet within her borders 43 000 000
acres of unentered Iree government land,
or which fully oue hair are suitable for
oi e or another agricultural purpose, and
on which any enterprising man with a
few hundred dollars can soou lay tbe
foundation of au independent fortune.
Tbe Sintbern Pacific Railway Company
has large areas of I nd yet unoccupied,
of uniqualed fertility, ranging in price
Irom $2.60 upwards per acre, most of
which is lor sale at from (2 SO to $20,
and is readily doubled in value by occu
pation and cultivation. Contrary to pop
ular notion, the onmpany is unxlous to
dispose of these lands iu small quanti
ties to actual aetilers, and discourages
speculators who wish to buy great bod
ies of land only to bold it for "a rise,"
giving preference in all cases, and es
pecial terms and advantages to tbe so
taal settler. To settlers lands are sold
for cash, or payable in five annual or ten
semt-anunal payments, with seven per
ceut. interest, and iu many cases buyers
have realized enough from Ibe crops of a
single year to pay lor tbe laud.

Price Fight and Riot
AWllkesbarre despatch of the list Inst.i
gives the following: A prlis fight which
culminated In a riot took pi See Monday
evening at Parsons, a small mining village
three miles north of Wilkeebarre. For
some time Ernest Williams, a Welshman,
aud Palilck Lawler, an Irishman, had been
on bad terms and they decided to fight it
oi)t. A month sgo both went Isto active
training, and five o'clock Monday evening
was the lime set lor the fight lu come off.
At that time 300 miners, who had just tea
their work, gathered on Snake Island,
where tho ring was pitched. Both men
tripped to the watat They were each un
der thirty years el ago and apparently we 1
matched. At first they went at It in trie
pugilisllo style, but soon all scientific rules
were Inst sight ot and a rough-and tumb'e
fight ensued The men scratched and tore
at each other like two bull-dogs. Finally
Williams threw Lawler lo the ground and
rolled over on him Lawler's friends
claimed afoul. The referee refused to al
low it. Lawler's friends then broke Into
the ring and attempted lo pull Williams
away. Immediately Ihe two factions came
Into collision. One of Lawler's frienda
cried out, "Hurrah for the Irish!" Where-
npou a backer of Williams yelled, ''Hurra h
for the Welehl" Pistol shnis were ex
changed, iron bars, billies and stones were
seized upon and a scene of the wildest con
fusion ensued. Cries ol murder aros-
above the means of the injured. Patrick
Gibbons, one of lawler's backers, struck
Jack Lee, a Williams man, a terrible blow
with a billy on the bead. It is thought
that bia skull ia fractured. Another
Welshman named Jones received a gash
across the lorahead and Patsy Malone and
Mike Laular were pummeled badly about
Ibe head. A doxeu others were more or
less injured.
Finally the Constable, with a strong
posse, arriyed on tho scene. He sent word
ahead tbat he would put barrels of buck
shot from a guu be carried into the crowd
it they did not disperse. This had the
desired elfect and the mob scattered. Th
fillowmg srrests were made Tuesday i
Austin Gibbons, Tat Laular, John ano
Mine Lawler, Pat Malone.Erneit Williams
More arrests win n.iiuw. Tne nu nlwr ol
men with bandaged heads in the small
town ot Paisous was quite large Tuesday.
