The Secial VernlcUn.
Tlirre seems te Ira ii social war rasing in
AVnoliingten which threatens te excite
mera interest than any impending political
issue which disturbs the serenity of the
federal capital. Ever since the Minimis
retired from the department of state and
the Frclinghuvscns came Inte it, tlie feel
ing which gave rise te this condition of
thing1? has been Incoming mere intense;
the cventsef the late presidential campaign
brought it te a white heat.
Mr. Arthur, who was always a society
man in New Yerk, brought te the manage
ment of the "Whlte IIouse an elegance of
entertainment and gorgeousness of uphols
tery that had net for many years pervaded
that establishment.
Partly from preferment, no doubt, and in
some degree because of the political pri
macy of its head, the Frelinghuysen
household has been the special favorite of
the executive; and its female membt rs
liave chiefly directed the management
of the White Heuse, indeed se close
have been the relations of Arthur and
the Frelinghuyscns, that the mildest form
of resulting gossip has been the report of
his matrimonial engagement with one of
the daughters. His recent apiieintment of
another's husband, Jehn Davis, te a va
cancy In the court tif claims for wl Ich
p'acc, it is avowed by the anti-administration
people, that lie has no fitness has
lceiwned the social war. Anether phase of
it is the charge that Arthur is scheming te
get lus secretary or state en the supreme
Ik'iicIi of the United States, even into the
highest place thereof, and that should
any vacancy occur between this and March
ilh, Frelinghuysen will certainly succeed
Waite.
Mrs. Maine is.i woman of vigorous in
tellect, with a sharp tongue, and ttreng
social prejudices ; her cousin, " Gail Ham
ilton," member of her household, wields a
trenchant pen and is the HlaiucV strong
ally. They result te undiplomatic arts te
conceal llieir resentments and avow them
possibly mere often and mere vehemently
li.iu i!n lr fueiuMiips. It is reported and
generally believed that Mrs. Blaine,
win n u ited te help receive the White
Heuse guests en Xew Ye.tr day, an
Mvered iime uncertain tone, expressing
her veiv candid opinion of the treatment
ether husband by the "administration set"
during ins candidacy for president.
The mitter new seems te have been
transferred from the drawing-room te the
newspapers; and each side can find cham
pions in the Washington correspondents of
the newspapers. Most bitter of the assail
ants of thn Arthur-Frelinghuysen party is
acoiif-iKiiideiitef the XewYoikWerW,
who in every form thru-ts at them : while
the Xeith Aiucii'-iin, one of whose editors
is marshal of the District of Columbia
and majer-demo of the White Heuse,
conies te the defense of its inner ciicie
in a gallant manner and resents most
vigorously the attacks which have been
made upon it.
It has been many jears since social
rivalries and fcinale quarrels were a large
factor in Washington politics. It may or
may net be the i e3iilt of a president trying te
run the White Heuse without a wife. Mr.
Cleveland should give the subject care
ful consideration. Fer while the Fie-linglitiysen-Llaiiie
vendetta might 1.
terminated with the retirement of
Arthur, It may be succeeded with a fresh
let of troubles when a bachelor president
comes in.
liiiiMIiig Ills Houses.
Mrs. Maik Hepkins, the rich California
widow, who has some thirty millions of
dollars and isef middle age, has announced
her purpose te build a palatial residence,
excelling anything yet erected in this coun
try, en the site of the little frame cottage
in which sue was nern, ami wheieslie lived
for a long time, in Massachusetts.
Her purpose has suggested numerous in
quiries us te what has been the final disposi
tion of the big houses which ricli men have
built of late years in this ceuntiy. Tliean
Bwcr almost invariably liasbeen that tlioysel tlieysel tlioysel

erect them ; and, if they serve any geed,
purpose at all, it is finally as public institu
tions of philanthropy .education or charitv.
Wilheut any system of en ail here, te se
cure landed possessions te many successive
generations, little real estate remains in
ene family for any great lapse of time : but
thew great mansions are usually con
structed en such a plan that their owner
ship and occupancy involve a vast expen
diture that no ordinary fortune can stand ;
and the possessr of one has a white ele
phant en hand that he cannot afford te
feed.
Nevertheless ieple with a sutplus of
money will go en building them. There is a
fascination and amusement about it which
nothing else can aileiil. It gratifies a very
common taste. Most men lu moderate
chctiiiulauees like te build and furnish te
their own taste. It givei them an oppor
tunity te excrci.se their creative faculties,
te display their Individuality, and, mi
the structure Is upand adorned, they have
something te show for their money. Big
buildings, especially dwellings en a grand
srale, are net in this country a very piefit.
able investment, and the met comfortable
homes are net usually found within their
walls; but thedesiie te built them is the
expression of a characteristic of human
nature, that Is net jwcullarte rich people,
and for them te assert it en a grauder scale
than ieop!e of smaller means Is only the
Indulgence of tie j larger opportunities.

ons for the great number of deaths: First,
the patients were almost all suffocated by
smeke before they could be reached; nod
Hoeend, the inability or unwillingness of the'
insane patients te try and help themselves.
The remains of the bodies with ene e.coptien
represented simply a handful of charred
ashes The entire remains of ten of the vic
tims were spread en a small t.ible two feet
square. The (act that there is no general lire
alarm between the various buddings of the
hospital, or anv system of water works te

largelv for the very large "less of life.

ene of the victims, and the only ene whose
remains presorved even tlie semblance of a
human being, was a prominent man in his
section of tlie state. He was en the soceud

himself. Siiorintcndent Dewoy. aided bv
an attendant, placed n ladder te Ids w mdew",
and ascending it broke the glass with his
hands but, being unable te break the sash,
descended for seme Implements te break it
with. Mean time Uelden's shrieks for help
were loud and ugenl7ing, but as Dewoy re
ascended his cries elicit away. The smoke
and flames poured from the window se that
no help could be given him. Dr. Dewey
hearing calls for help Irem another window

Wheat In the Wet.
H. W. T.dmadge, of Milwaukee, Wis., has
late and important information from many of
the princlpil winter wheat growing states.
Complaint scorns te be gencral tha, owing te
tlie unseasonable fall and winter, the con
dition of winter wheat is most unfavorable,
and the premise for even a fair outcome is
net very flattering. Michigan, Illinois,
Kuiisas, Missouri and Kentucky report large
decrease in aecnige, and owing te severity
of the winter the damage has been very great.
The weather has been unusually cefd, and
manynfthepiIiicip.ilwhe.it countries have
been bare of mievv up te within the
past week, and the wheat is wholly
fezen out. This will necessitate plow
ing up ground in the spring, and
the sewing or planting of ether cereals.
The damage in these states is variously esti
Dialed nt from 10 te 2." )kt cent., Kansis,
Missouri and Kentucky being the principal
sullererH. The mmthprii States, especially in
the southeast, complain of extended droughts
in tlie rail, which resulted in sev ere damage
te the early bow n wheal and prevented the
sewing of late wheat. Consequently, the
area in these states is reduced te nearly ono eno one
halfthal of last year, Mr. Talmadge hasoltl haseltl
ci.il advices from all the agricultural depiit
incutH or statistical agents of tlie principal
winter-wheat r.uslng states giving the area
fewn te wheat as compared with last j ear.
The ligurcH snow a large decrease, ranging
from 10 te 33 per cent. Many el the large
producing htutCN, Including Kansas, Illinois,
Missouri and Indiana, show a larger decrease.
Mr. Talmadge had made an average of the
shortage in aoreage as with last year, and It
hIiews h.iIi! shortage te le fully 20 tier cent.
The agricultural department and statistical
agcnlM of the spring wheat states day that
their agents reiiert that tliore will probably
lien large falling oil' in the area sewn te
waeat tills coming spring. Thisapplie mero
