There is nn advertisement in our
columns to which wu take much
pleasure in referring our readers, be
causo we believe in it and can con
scientiously and heartily recommend
It. We refer to Hall's Hair Renewer.
We remember many cases in our
midst of old and middle nged people
who formerly wore gray hair, or
whose locks were thin and faded, but
who now have presentable head pieces
and with no little pride announce to
their ftiends that they haveu't a gray
hair In their heads. It Is a pardon
able pride, and the world would be
better oft, if there was more of it for
when the aged mako themselves at
tractive to oiuers tney are more cer
tain to win and retain the esteem and
respect to which a burthen of well
spent years entitles them. Try Hall's
Hair Renewer if ago or disease has
thinned or whitened your locks and
you will thank us for our advice

The distillers would not have
made and barrelled 71,8'J2,0:21 gallons
of whiskey, etc., during the last fiscal
year, if they had not had an inteli
gent confidence in their ability to
find customers at paying prices. It Is
a slight relief to know that 15,000,000
or so were sent across theseas to fire the
brains and gnaw the stomachs of the
effete despots and their subjects; but
even with this deduction, there was
eft on hand the enormous quantity of
66,893,000 gallons (in round numbers)
of whiskey and its congeners for
borne consumption. Even if all
Americans took their liquor straight
which they don't and iftheRverage
price of a drink was ten cents which
we are informed is not the fact the
gurgling of the last swallow of this
colossal potation down the free and
equal American throat will represent
an expenditure of between $341,000,.
000 and $455,000,000, acordiug to the
size of the average bar drink. And
the distillers are still nt work. N. Y.

Washington Letter.
From our regular correspondent.!
Washinoton.D. C, Nov. 15, 1879.
Congress, nt the present action.
seems to be emulating the example
of the old Indian chief Powhatan
and his council, ns represented in the
burlesque opera of "Columbus," They
meet to adjourn. They have ad
journed almost every day after 45
minutes labor, and have crowned the
pyramid of adjournments with a reso
lution to adjourn from the U'th inst
until January 0. An old gait re
marked that, at sea, a dead ealtn was
the precursor of a big storm. If the
nautical sign Is applicable to nn
American Congress, we may look for
a big political earthquake or a first
class simoon when the Hags are run
up over the Capitol after the states
men have returned from eating the
rural rooster and the aristocratic tur
key of the holidays. In looking over
the House committees we were struck
with the strange mutations of time.
Fifteen years ago Gen. Joe Johnson,
one of the most skilful of the Con
federate Generals, commanded a Con
federate army, and was striving with
all his power to destroy or disorganize
the army of the United States. To
day ho is a member of the Military
Committee of the House of Rep
resentatives, and chairman of the sub
committee on the reorganization of
the army of the United States. If the
wheel of fortune continues to turn as
it has been turning for a few years
past, we would not be surprised to see
his portrait yet hung up in the War
Department by the side of Stanton
and Rawlins, and Sherman and
Grant.
Arroyo of the War Department, in
tearing down the old War Depart
incut building this fall, it was dis
covered that the foundation was not
of stone. The bricks were laid on the
ground in a bed of mortar, and the
place of a corner-stone was taken oy
a mortar-imbedded brick. This curl
ous piece of masonry, in a somewhat
dilapidated condition, has been fixed
in a glass case, and is kept in the of
fice of the Chief Clerk of the Depart
meut.
Writing of the mutations of time
reminds us that one of Washington's
old farms, a part of the Mt. Vernou
estate, Is advertised to be sold tit a lie
tion in that sleepy old town of Alex
nndria, on the.li'tli inst. Washington
had live farms, all lying adjacent to
each other on the Potomac The
"Union Farm," containing tUx acres;'
"Pogue Run Farm'' containing 049
acres;" "Mudy-hole Farm," contain
ing 470 acres;" "River Farm,'' con
taining 1,207 acres, nnd the smnll
"Mansion House Farm,'' where his
beautiful home and silent tomb look
down from a lovely slope on the
broad river below it. What portion
of this large, estate again changes
title, the lucid description of the auc
tioneer does not indicate.
Among the many superb statues
which adorn the public parks and
squares of the National Capitol, there
have none yet been re i red to uny of
the great and accomplished jurists of
America, whoso name and learning
stand out In our legal literature and
on the pages of history as great as,
those of Euskin, Eidon, or Coke.
It is gratifying therefore, to see that
a bill has just been introduced in the
Senate appropriating $20,001) for the
erection of a statue of ex-Chief Justice
Marshall, of the United States Su
preme Court, in Judiciary Square,
Washington City. Whether it will
pass, depend on the Congressional
appreciation of America's most em
nent jurist and greatest Chief Jus
tice. We have two classes of migratory
bh-ds in Washington just now. The
tramps from the north, who are mov
ing southward, anil the black-bird's
exodus from North Carolina, on their
way. to the happy land of Canaan
known ns Indiana. The first are in
tribulation at finding the doors of the
station-house closed to them after the
second nights lodging' and the work
house open to them as vagrants. They
are therefore gathering pennies
through the day. Six or eight will
meet among the board piles at night
dump their pennies into a common
bank, "pool their issues," get a quart
of whisky as a partnership blanket,
and make night hideous with their
orgies. The black emigrants came
here by rail, not alone, but with their
ebony families, not In small gangs,
but by the car-load. Out of monev
and out of transportation, they are
given a place of refuge, in a colored
church men women children and
dogs untill money is raised by con
tributions throughout the city to
send them to their land of promise in
the ague districts of Indiana, where
they can shiver and rejoice as they
look back with scorn on the deserted
tarheels and oUry-eaters in the turpen
tine forests of the Carolinas.
The joint committee of the library
have under consideration a proposition
to purchase the sword worn by Gen
eral Washington when he resigned
his commission at Annapolis. The
sword is offered for sale to the Gov
eminent ' by Mr. II. H. Lewis, of
Maryland, who has come into pos
session of it by inheritance, through
Major Lewis, a nephew of General
Washington. The action of the com
mittee will doubtless inspire our zeal
ous antiquarians to resurrect a carload
of old hatchets with which Georgie
cut the cherry tree.
The English astronomer, Richard
A. Proctor, whose predictions of a
magnificent meteorlo. shower kep
thousands of people with their heads
out of the window till 2 o'clock iu the
morning and sent them to bed with a
cold in the head, disappointed and sold,
is lecturing in this city on "Other
Worlds and Other Suns." Many who
remember his brilliant display of
meteors keep nway from this shower
of worlds and suns.
A subscription list is being circu
lated In the House of Representatives
in nld of the indigent districts of Ire
Inn d. About seventy-five . members
have contribute.!, and it is expected
that the list will be adorned with the
names . of nil the members of the
House, nnd many dollars of our dads,
before It Is sent to the Emerald Isle.
In emulation of the example of our
national representatives, the Irish
itiens of Washington are organiz
ing with a view to secure contribu
tions from the citizens of Washington
for the suffering poor of their native
lnnd, nnd in view of the proverbial
generosity of that race, we think they
will make ns good showing of contri
butions ns any other city. The Irish
stand here, In numbers, next below
the colored people; but when any pub
lic demonstration, involving their
nationality, is called for from them,
they exhibit on our streets an aston
ishing mass of drilled, able-bodied
men, out of all proportion to the dis
plays of the other race.
