The crowd around the Cap Cap ieol is almost classic The precession of peeple all going ene way, swarming all the streets, and finally arriving at the many entrances te the Capitel (all the principal streets of Washington branch off from the Capitel) is a sight that can scarcely be seen in any ether city in the United States. True, the peeple de net, as in ancient times, carry sacri fices te the gods, nor de they unite in a low chant of praise or thanksgiving. They are, en the contrary, very jelly, eminently geed natured, net nt all reverent in speaking of the statesmen they nre en their way te see, and are palpably out for a holiday, for a geed time. Many of the peeple are from the north from New Yerk, Bosten, Detroit and it is easy enough te distinguish them from native Washingtonians be cause of the rich, heavy furs displayed by the women, the heavy ulsters by the men, which are altogether unnecessary in'Washingten in December. But theso furs and theso overcoats must be ex- In the Capitel the crowd is tremendous. The vast rotunda is densely packed; the hall of statuary is completely filled, and in every out of the way nook you will find groups of peeple taking things in. Even en the ten of the masslve dome, wliich rears its front against the sky sov sev cral hundred feet, you will see peeple walking around surveying the thrilling prospect befere them the widoPetomao washing the decks of old Alexandria; ,the sleepy little village of Bladensburg, where was fought the battle between the Americans and British in 1814, and the ecene of many a bloody duel in the early part of the century; the stupendous Washington monument, with the blue hills of Virginia as a background, and many another eight enchanting te the stranger in Washington for the first time. I - 1 The scene en the fleer of the liouseis worth remembering. H is se active; everybody seems te be in such feverish haste. If you have ever been in the Bteck exchanges of Chicago or New Yerk you have seme sort of idea of what the ecene in the liouse of representatives, se 'far as the men are concerned, is like. But the surroundings in the house are se much mero magnificent. In place of a bare fleer there is a carpet into wliich your feet sinks half an inch; in place of panels the walls have rich paintings of historic personages; the vast hall is Ires coed by the best artists of Europe; in place of a'commen plaster ceiling there is ,011 aero of glass, en wliich are painted the symbols of all the states, and through which, in the day time, a soft light falls en the heads of the members; at inter vals of every twenty feet at the side there are large open grates, the burning legs making a cheery glow at the back of the hall. The galleries, with their sharply ascending tiers, the Beats filled with all sorts of peo pee pleblack and white, rich and peer, seme dressed magnificently, ethers in tatters form a picture almost incapable of being lianfflcd by the painter's brush. There are galleries for all classes. The diplomats have a gallery, there is a gallery for the congressmen's families, and galleries for both sexes. But by nil odds the hand-. FLOWEUS FOP.

They have gilded desks and chalre.every convenience for writing, and as their gallery is directly nbove the speaker's desk they have a full i'iew of the whele proceedings, and can leek into the faces of the legislators and sketch them with the greatest of comfort. "The house will be In erderl" The sneaker Is obliged te reneat the order several times, threaten, implore, beseech the liouse te ceme te order. It seems as though the meAibers will never becoine quiet. At last the hum of btery telling and greeting ceases, every ene net a member is obliged te leave the fleer, including the wives and daughters of the members themselves, the prayer is recited amid deep silence by the white haired chaplain, the roll is called, the epcaker makea a neat little address and the transaction of regular business is de clared hi order. Then the neise begins again, louder tlian before, and the speaker's ivory gavel falla again and X'n en Ida desk for eilense without any :t wliate ver. It is always thus in the house, especially during the first few days of a session. After a while, however, the novelty of the thing wears off and the members, tired of talking, complacently twttle back in their chairs, put their feet Ce their desks, light their cigars audi watch the curling rings jf empUe ascend' Blewly upward and think. Yes, it may be said that they de bemctiracs think. They are occasionally reused from their reveries by the fearless page boys with autograph albums, becking the names of all the members. These bright little fellows, with fresh, rosy faces and knick erbockers, make a geed thing out of this autograph scheme. They sell the albums for fancy pi ices te collectors when they are filled. The congressmen dare net refuse the lieys anything; the boys knew tee much, iesserw tee tlell tlell cate information about certain little notes, supiKrs, etc. When net pressed mUIi work congress usually adjourns about 4 o'clock. Then the crowd commences te clear out, and the galleries are deserted. But you will see men and women leaving the build ing until darkness creeps apace. Then the Capitel is quiet, ghostly. A few dim lights here and there hi the corridors, but the rest shrouded In darkuess. If the wind happens te slam ene of the doers or rattle tne windows at ene end of the Immense building the echo will gloomily resound at the ether end, mero than au eighth of a mile away.

Tha Death of Chart, the Hymn Writer, Occurred 109 Tears Age, The commemoration en Dec 0 of the 100th anniversary of the last year of Charles Wesley, poet of Methodism, has brought out a number of reminiscences of the Wesley family net hitherto pub lished. Everybody knows that Charles Wesley was a strange, impractical go ge nitis, but comparatively few knew that he was the father of a family of remark able musical genulses: that his eon steed befere kings; that his daughter was en able writer at the age of 15. All the original Wesleys wcre talented, and nearly all peculiar. Many wcre precocious in muale and a few cccentria te the cxtreme of absurdity. It is Bcarcely pessible for a eelf reliant Amer ican of the present day te comprehend what a helpless creature Charley Wesley was eutside of Ids particular line, and hew heavilyhe leaned en his mero oxec exec oxec utive brother Jehn. -cj BARAU WESLEY (at 80.) 6AJIATI WESLEV. REV. CILUILES WESLEY. E4MTTEL WESLEY. ClUnLES WESLEY, JR. In lincage and succession the Wes leyan record is mero curious still. Jehn Wesley was ene of nineteen children, and his mother was the youngest of twenty-five, and yet in n-cry few years the family was nearly extinct, and ex cept the descendants of Cliarlcs Wesley, thore is net a representative in name of the original rector of Epworth. But, though Charles was pronounced by Ida contemporaries the most impractical of men, he was practicality itself compared with his remarkable 6en Charles, whose mother and sister put en his clothes, tied his cravat, fixed Ida napkin under hla chin at thotable and otherwise treated mm uice a child as long as they lived. He was incapable of making the small est bargain, and was as helpless after the death of his Bister as an ordinary 10-year-old child; yet at the age of 18 months he drummed out a tune en the harpsichord, and at 18 years he per formed befere Geerge III and his court in the hearing of the finest musicians of Eurepe, te loud and earnest applause. This remarkable musician died unmar ried, as did his sister Sarah, but their re maining brother, Samuel, married and transmitted seme of the ancestral talents te 'his posterity. He was the Beventh child of Charles Wesley, and although net quite be precocious as his brother Charles, could preduce fairly geed musie at 0 years of age, and seen nf ter could supply a true bass te any air. He played from his inner consciousness. But Methodists of Bristel viewed the natural gifts of these young Wesleys with anything but pleasure, and little by little there grew up a strained feeling be tween the two branches of the Wesley family, be much se that the cldldrcn of ene branch objected very strongly te "all the religious proceedings of the ether. But this Samuel Wesley, having mero practical sense than his brother Cliarles, became u settled citizen and married Miss Charlette Louisa Martin, daughter of the then demonstrator of anatomy in St. Themas hospital in April, 1703, and yet he had se much of the family eccentricity that he lived with her two years befere informing his mother that he had taken a partner. She died young, and he married again about 1810 and liad eeveral mero children. He acquired seme means by the excrcise of his talents, and en his death bed he said te his sen: "Keep thy knewledge of Latin; remember the Wcslcvs wcre all gentlemen and Bchelars." Kev. Dr. Charles Wesley, sub-deacon of the Chapel Royal, and Dr. Samuel Sebastian, of Gloucester cathedral, were sons of this Samuel Wesley, and therefore grand sons of Charles, and their sons new in England nre the only representatives by name of the ence prolific Wesley family. Charles Wesley, the poet, was born at Epworth rectory Dec. 18, 1708, and died in Londen March 29, 1789. He was edu cated at Westminster school and at Ox ford, and during all the early and middle part of Ids llfe pursued substantially the same career as his brother Jehn, and was se closely associated with him that theso familiar with the life of Jehn are neces sarily se with that of Charles. His hymns and spiritual songs nre literally household words in every country where the English language is spoken; but his personal eccentricities are, of course, much less known. Samuel, the elder brother of Jehn, left but ene surviving cliild, a daughter. Jehn married late in life and never became a father. Charles, liaving escaped fancy frce till hi3 41st year, married Sarah Gwynne, then aged 51, She was unusually well educated for the days in vliich Ehe lived, and liad a sweet voice nnd geed musical training. In 1753 their eldest son was born mid named Jehn. He Buipriscd every ene by humming tunes and beating time correctly when only 12 mentlis old. He died seen after with the smallpox, and liis mother, who had never been vaccin ated, was se horribly disfigured by the disease that from being n noted beauty the became almost absolutely repugnant. In 1757 another son was-born, the noted nnd musical Charles; then a daughter, Sarah. Their three subsequent children died in infancy. Mrs. Wesley was ac customed te soetho her loneliness and amuse her babe3 by playing en the harj harj Bicherd, and befere little Chai lea could speak he showed his sense of complete ness by taking her left hand and placing it en the instrument wlienevcr she played the trcblewith her rightjhand alone. Sua seen found that when she tied him in a chair befere the liaip liaip sicherd he could amuse himself, and at three years of age he could play. Of Cliarlcs Wesley, the poet, little need be said in addition, as hi? writings are his history, Willi his brother Jehn he went as a minister te Georgia, and being unable te carry out their strict ideas of discipline, returned te Europe. After his marriage he confined lib labor mostly te Xeadflaaad vicinitx. Snnflr Dipping In Maine. Snuff dipping is en the incrcase at Lewisten. In fact the practice h grow ing quite the faslden.

Mr. Williamson for many years seems te have lived only te make and te save money; but new, an octogenarian, he places his ac cumulations in the hands of trustees for a great nnd neble purpose. Within n few years the click of the hammer and the clatter of machinery will be heard within the walls of great buildings, from which hundreds or thousands of boys will cmerge te make an honerablo living. Mr. Williamson was born in Bucks county near Philadelphia in 1803. He began his business career as n clerk in n country 6tere, but seen went (e the city te seek his fortune He started in a small dry goods business and developed such a talent for trade that by the time he was 80 he had amassed a fortuneof $300,000. It is almost impossible, in these daye of colossal fortunes te understand the rolatlve value of $200,000 in 1833. Any man in America at that time who would have desired mero would have been regarded as an unrensonable being. Mr. Williamson concluded that he had acquired sufficient means te keep him for the rest of lib life, went out of busi ness and started out te bce the world. Fer two years he traveled in Eurepe aa a man of fertune and lived a gay life. Suddenly he made a cemplete change of front. He cut hia gay friends, sold his luxurious effects and began n lonely, penurious life, which he lias net changed in fifty years. A close, shrewd man, everything that he touched Boomed te turn te meney. But it has been all money and nene of the com forts nnd luxu urles tliat render money be desira desira bie te many peo ple.

JOHN B. HENOERSON. f It I Expected IIe Will De rremlnent In tlie Xcxt Administration. Jehn B. Hendersen's preminence in the Republican party dates fully thirty years back, he having been ene of the very few Republicans of nny nppreciable influence in the 6tote of Missouri befere the civil war. At that time, when the Btate was ene of the strongest of the strongholds of the Democratie partv, Gratz Brown, Jehn B. Hendersen and Carl Shurz wcre the recognized leaders of the small minority which lepresented the Republican party there. Se far as po litical position went, however, this premt, nence was befere the war nn id le distinc tion, and there seemed no pessible pros pect of the minority ever succeeding te power. Tlie chance came, however, in a some what curious manner. Missouri being a lrarder state, a specially large proportion et tne voters were in the army en ene side or tlie ether hi the war, and then canie nn olection, in which, te the sur prise of the coun try, the Republi cans gained for the first time the contiel of the state legislature. The result was tliat in 180-1 Hen Hen dereon waa sent te the United J. D. UXNDERSOh. States senate. His election was for six years, of ceurse, and, as after the war the Democrats regained the control of Missouri, Senater Hendersen was in power against the will of the majority of his own constituents. As a matter of ceurse he served only a single terra, but during that term he enjoyed a very con siderable degrce of inilueuce with the administration nt Washington by reason of his being a southern senator, and waa nble te sccure a great many very import ant appointments. I Alter that time cx-Senaler Hender Hender eon's position, though he was strong in party councils, has been practically among the "outs," he net having a suffi ciently strong following in his own stata te carry it. In 1872 there waa a chance, or seemed te be one, tliat he might ceme prominently te the front, for his nomi nation te the vice presidency was strongly urged by a ccrtam contingency who be lieved that with him for a leader it would be pessible for the Republicans te eave Missouri and Kansas. A pew erf ul pressure waa brought te bear in his favor in the convention, but it was net sufficient te counterbalance the claims of Massachusetts, and Henry Wilsen was declared the nominee. Even after that, though in the same campaign, there was seme talk of push ing IIciiderFen te tlie front. The icvelfc from the Republican party, headed by Greeley, developed mero apparent strength early in tlie campaign than it showed at the polls, and alter Grata. Brown had been nominated by the Lib eral Republicans and indorsed by the Democrats, he was regarded as especially dangerous in tlie two statein which Hendersen's strength' lay. It was there there thero fero proposed, and the preposition wa9 gravely considered, te withdraw Wilsen nnd substitute Hendersen as the Republic can candidate for second place.

But te our Burprise there waa no deg te be Been, and hunt high and hunt low we could net find him. The conductor laughed at us, and Burns and I get aboard again thinking that after all our eyes might have fooled us. Burns pulled back the threttle and we started en slowly.

Curious te learn a useful hint, I was about te draw my watcii from my pocket, when I found It was already in this expert's hands, without my exper iencing the slightest touch. He then ex plained te me that the most approved method of detaching a watch from its owner was te held the ring te which. the chain was attached firmly between the finger and thumb, and then, with asharp twist, snap tlie Btcel pivot connecting watch and ring, leaing the watch free in the thlefs hand and the ring en tlie chain.

Dry Goods Chronicle, Bntaa of City In Texa. During the survey of the Kansas Cily, El Pase and Mexlcan railroad, tlie sur veyors came across the ruins of the city of Gran Gulvera, known already te the early Spanish explorers, but seldom vis ited by white men of the present day. These ruins nt Gran Gulvera are of gi gi gantie Btone buildings of magnificent proportions and built in a very substan tial manner. One was four acres in ex tent. Every indleatien around the ruins was ovidence of the exlstcnce here at ene time of a dense population, although new it is forty miles from water. Te tlie neuth lies the lavn flew, called by the local population thoMelpaia. It is a sea of molten black glass, which has cooled, retaining Its ragged nd fantastically shaped waves from ten te twclve feet high. It la about forty miles long and from ene te ten miles wide. Fer miles en all sides the country lies buried in flne white ashes, te a depth as yet net reached by any digging. Ne legend exists as te the destruction or abandonment of the ruined city, but ene of the engineers of the surveying party advances the theory thnt Gran Gulvera was in exlstcnce when the terrific volcanic eruption took place which be desolated and burned up the surrounding country. Tlie secrets of the early civilization of prehistoric America clude our possession; yet that such a civilization existed, we have abundant proof.

He has served In congress as the representa tive of the Ninth district of Illinois for n number of years, having been elected five times te the position. His first po litical preferment was bestowed upon him in 1808, when he was made county judge, principally en account of the tame he acldevcd in the conduet of a re markabeo case in the courts. It was per haps tlie greatest case he ever handled hi nil his practice, though that has been ex tensive, and in the ceurse of it he wen the reputation of being the leading jury lawyer in central Illinois. The facta of the case were romantic.

L rAYSOST, reputation had preceded him, and he waa liantcred and almost forced into fighting by Bomeof the men in the mines who coveted the glory of thrashing hhn. He took their taunts patiently, however, and it seen became well understood that he was in earnest about Ida refusals. One man, however, the bully of the mines, determined te ferce 1dm te an en counter, and insulted him in every way he could think of te arouse his anger. It was all in vain until ene evening the young husband came home te find hia wife turning the bully away from her deer, and eerhcard tlie ruffian makiug a most brutal and vile remark te her. Then he breke his premise A fight wan quickly arranged, nnd the husband said befere entering the ring tliat he would die there rather than let his In BUlter go unpunished. As It proved, he did net die there, but the ether mail did. The husband was tried for murder, Pay Pay ten defended him, and he was acquitted. When Mr. Payson liad been a judge for seme time he was called upon by the Republicans of the Btate te accept ether political positional, and it is said te be true that he waa cry reluctant te de be, and that he waa really forced te take the nomination for the place of Btate senate. He took It, hewever, and was elected and afterward Bent te congress. In hia flrbt term in congress he waa put upon the judiciary committee, a compliment rarely or never paid te a new member before, The Lnte Mrs. Sherman. Whlle Gen. Sherman nnd Ids family meet with a great lesa in the death of Mrs. Sherman, which occurred recently nt New Yerk, the peer leso an able and tireless advocate. Mrs. Sherman waa Ellen Beylo Ewing, the daughter of the Hen. Themas Ewing, secretary of the Interior under Zacliiry Tayler. Mr. Ewing had also adopted Gen. Sherman when he was a boy. Tlie wedding be tween Miss Ewing and Capt. Sherman took place in Washington in 1650 hi the presence of a large number of distin guished fjuests, including the president, Daniel "W cester, Henry Clay and Tliomae H. Benten. Tlie ceuple lived successively In Cali fornia nnd In the south, nnd at the breaking out of tlie civil war were livlner III (31, iJUUJH, where Sherman had just accepted the presidency of a street railroad. During the period of hia military bcrvicohelefthla family at Lancas ter, O., with Mrs. Sherman's father, Mra. Sherman waa n rncmljer of, the Reman Calh olio church, in which bhe dovet- Ail li(iiniW tr. charitabie work" ma' uauiA.v. Pope Piua IX recognized her services, and Bhe was a trustee of "Pcter'a Pence'' in America. Gen. Sherman ldmsclf Ij net a Reman Catholic, but hia children wcre brought tip ill their mother's faith, the eldest son being a priest. Mrs. Sherman's remains were taken te the Calvary ceuietery nt St. Leui9 for in terment, where several children ami crsailrlilldrciiare burled.
