I HENDRICKS IX WASHINGTON. A Rapturous Ovation to the Democratic Vice-President. "Washington, February 27.?The Vice-President-elect arrived in Washington at 3.30 this afternoon 011 the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, two hours and a quarter behind schedule time. A large crowd assembled at the depot before the time at which ihe train was due and patiently awaited it* coining, receiving constant accessions as the time passed, until when tin; train arrived the assemblage nn;:i!?ercd sev eral hundred persons. The throng filled the depot waiting room and crowded about on the sidewalk in front of the depot, and the members of the citizens' reception committee and of the Indiana Democratic Association with a lew newspaper reporters awaited the arrival of the train on the platform in the interior of the depot. All the Democratic members of Congress from Iudiana, except Voorhecs, who was detained at the Senate, and Judge Holman, who could not leave the House, were present as members of the Indiana Democratic Association. Representatives-elect Bynuin, Ford and Howard, of Indiana, and Colonel Bannister, of that State, and Messrs. Miles and Morgan, of this city, as representatives of the Indiana Democratic Association and the citizens' committee respectively, went up the road as far as Harper's Ferry to meet Hendricks and escort him to thecitv. i _i i __ at .. .4: ? ~ it nau Qcsii urrangeu uy u;e jiuiunnu j Association to meet Hendricks at the j depot and give him a cordial reception without speech-making or any formality, and the inaugural committee sent the reception committee to meet him and escort him to his hotel. Unfortunately, however, there was no concert of action between the two bodies, and when the train drew up in the depot and Hendricks alighted he was seized hold of by Niles and Claggett of the citizens' committee and hurried through the crowd on the platform towards his carriage without being allowed to stop a moment even to shake hands with his Indiana friends. A few of the latter, j however, pushed their way through i the crowd and shook hands with the' Vice-President-elect. One enthusias-1 tic individual almost knocked Hen-1 dricks over in his eagerness to bo j vnr?rworniia/1 anrf tr\ hie lui11/t As soon as the Vice-President-elect was, recognized many of the spectators on | the platform doffed their hats and ap- j plauded him. As he pushed on to-1 ward the carriage down the length of the platform and through the waitingroom to the street the applause grew, until, as he reached the street, it broke into enthusiastic cheering, to which Hendricks responded by raising his hat and bowing. The committee escorted him to the carriage, but here the crowd surged about the vehicle and prevented it from being driven off, while a score or more shook hands with Hendricks. As the driver finally wMnrvor? rm hie l\r>raP5 nnrl rlrnvp off lo the hotel the crowd cheered enthusiastically. Hendricks was accompanied by several gentlemen from Indiana aud a few ladies o? his family. A WAV OURIED ALIVE. TVhat His Friends Discovered When the Coffin wag Opened. Asheville, N. C., February 2S.?A gentleman from Flat Creek Township in this (Buncombe) county, furnishes the information that about iht; I'Oth of last month a young: man bv ihe name of Jenkins, who had been sick with j fever for several weeks was thought to have died. Jle became speechless, his flesh was cold and clammy and he could not be aroused, and there appeared to be no action of the pulse and heart. He was thought to be dead and was prepared for burial, and it was noticed at that time that there was 110 stiffness in any of the limbs. lie was buried the day after his supposed death, and when put in the coffin it was remarked that he was as limber as a live man. There was much talk in the neighborhood about the case and the opinion was frequently expressed that Jenkins had been buried alive. Nothing, however, was done about the" matter until the 10th inst., when the coffin was taken up for the purpose of removal and interment in the family buryingr-ground in Henoers.-n county. The coffiiu being wood, it was suggested that it be ODcned in order to see if the body was in such condition that it could be hauled 20 miles without being put into a metallic casket. The coffin was opened, and to the ?reat astonishment and horror of his relatives the body was lying face downward, the hair had been pulled from the head in great quantities, and there were scratches of the finger nails on the inside of the lid and sides of the coffiu.

Susan and btaumore were scummy on 5>aturuay before and Susan got her head hurt. She told him on Sunday she would not be satisfied until she "got" him. She never said in what way she would "get" him.

Vtu society beau recently, pointing to a brown-stone front near the executive mansion, "lives a woman who might have been mistress of the White House under Democratic rule if she had seen fit to accept tl?e hand.of James Buchanan. She comes from a very wealthy Pennsylvania family, and was courted by Mr. Buchanan. Her people wanted her to marry him, but she didn't want to.

This broke np the match and the maiden too, for she went into retirement at once and has married nobddv. Neither the banishment of her clergyman nor the election of Mr. Buchanan to the Presidency could make her change her mind, and I she remained and remains single. She is an old, withered and sad | woman, living there alone with her j widowed sister in that great mansion with actually more money than they know how to use.

Philadelphia, February 26.?Notwithstanding the proclamation issued this afternoon calling on ihe citizens in the vicinity of the carpet mills of Kensington to remain off the streets, in order to prevent a repetition of last night's riotous demonstrations, there wus again to-night an immense crowd of people in the neighborhood of Leedoin's Mill, where the non-union loomfixer Cameron is employed. From esirlv in the afternoon until evening the crowd increased in numbers until the sidewalks and, in fact, some of the streets were almost blockaded. Just before the time for the hands in Leedom's Mill to stop work two hundred policemen marched up to the building and, dividing into four squads, drove the crowd back for a block on each of the four streets leading to the mill. Twenty officers then escorted Cameron from the mill and walked with him on the sidewalk as he proceeded home. Some of the more daring of these congregated on the streets, eluded the iHrgu loreu ui uiiiucrs auu lumiiug through side streets caught up to Cameron and his escort. The mob then followed closely, hooting and jeering, and throwing snow balls, ice, stones and other missiles. The officers in charge of the squad, after having been followed a few blocks, ordered the men to draw their clubs and charge upon the mob. This was done, and a brief but furious fight ensued. Several of the policemen were knocked down, but none seriously injured, while of those composing the mob several came out the melee with broken heads and seven of them were captured. In the excitement attending the onslaught au officer slipped away with Cameron and he was taken to his home without beiug further molested. It was said that the female non-union weavers employed in the mill were taken away in carriages, but the striking weavers assert that they were kept in the building and will remain there all night. The seven prisoners whose ages range from 18 to 28 years, were locked up for a hearing to-mormorrow. The Weavers' Assembly of Knights of Labor, at their meeting to-night, adopted resolutions in which they deny having any connection whatever with the riotous demonstrations which have t&ken place, and calling1 upon those on strike to refrain from any violent action, and to especially avoid any disturbances of the peace. MORE ABOUT THE MOMJMEXT. Some Items of Interest, Not Given in the Telegrams. [Letter to the Charlotte Observer.] The celebration of the completion of the Washington Monument was a grand success. The routine report by telegraph, which gives an adequate idea of the impressive character of the ceremonies as a whole, cannot furnish all the information desired, and therefore I add the following: The President was intensely bored or fatigued bv the length of the exercises. Mr. Bancroft, at eighty-five, was perhaps the best listener. He received more applause than any of those applauded except the speakers in their allusions to Washington at the clo3e of their efforts. Fits Lee, who came in quietly and went by tiie rear to a seat on the floor of the. presiding officer's right hand, was -greeted with more hearty applause than the brilliantly attired Phil Sheridan, who strode with his slafl' duly announced down the main aisle. General Lee wore citizen's clothes, his badge the yellow sash of a cavalryman to distinguish him as the commander of the second division of the parade. Where he sat was a little group of Lees?Gen. William H. Lee, son of the illustrious hero, and Mr. Joseph Lee, a business man of this T!ia Ciiii nf Ivfihrirf- V.fI in?i ml T.pf? bears a striking resemblance to his father. Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee was a capital listener. .He wore his beard somewhat pointed, nearly in (he fashion of "the spacious times of great Elizabeth," and at a distance his head suggested Lord Bacon's as it appears in the portraits we have of him.

The Curial of David Dickson. The lunoral of Mr. David Dickson took place Friday afternoon, the 20th nit., at 2 o'clock, lie was buried in the garden of his own home. The coffin was of unpainted pine, made at one of the siiops in Sparta, and was covered with common white alpaca. rn . _ .1 1 _1 . a. ine corpse was uresseu in an eiegant suit of black broadcloth and black silk velvet, but wore no shoes. The feet of tlir deceased were crossed, his right arm lay at his side, his hand clenched with the exception of the index finger, which pointed toward his feet. The left hand lay on his breast, and held a beautiful ji)ocket handkerchief, and in the right pocket of his pants were a pocket-knife, a pocket-comb and a tooth-pick. These details about his burial were arranged by Mr. Dickson some years ago, and were communicated to his nephew, Mr. Jeff W'ortliern that they might be observed. The funeral was largely attended. Fo ty Eight Days Without Food. Trenton, N. J., March 2.?Mary Oandall died in Bloomsburv, in this, State, last week, after fasting- fortveisrht successive days.

I'll i la Delphi a, Pa., February 27.? ! a special to ine nmts irora i>ew i York, based on reliable medical an-1 thority, says: "Notwithstanding the : rose-colored report ot General Grant's health recently given in the Medical Journal, the truth is ihat General Grant is a very sick man, and his death is apparently not far distant. The public have no conception of the shattered condition ot his physical system. It is hoped tiiat the atfection of the tongue may not prove fatal, but there is as yet no appearance that it is not a development ot a miliguant and fatal disease. Although somewhat better now than some weeks ago the enlarged and inflamed tongue continues making it painful to speak." New Yokk, February 28.?In regard to the condition of General Grant, Colonel Grant says his father is a very sick man. lie lias had little rest for the past few nights and i? suffering constant pain in his ear and head. Dr. Douglass said he had a talk with Dr. Sands at General Grant's house, and the result of the consultation was that both decided that the cancerous growth at the root of the tongue was hardening and steadily growing worse. A microscopical examination made by an expert proves beyond doubt that it was a case of malignant epithelial growth.?Grant is a very sick man and there is little or no hope that he will recover. _ XflE GALLOWS.

Governor Hindman responded confirming it and begged the sheriff to save Xeal's life. The guards were aroused and in a few minutes after the reception of the telegram Neal accompanied by a heavy escort started VocfArn li" ontiipbi' .Inn^iinn <n catcli the train for Mount Sterling. The matter was kept quiet until eight o'clock this morning. When it became known, much indignation was expressed by a majority of the people. But a few expressed satisfaction. A large crowd had gathered here to witness the lunging. Neal was overjoyed at the reception of the news. People continued to pour into Grayson all the forenoon, not having previously heard of the news of the respite. It was estimated that there were five thousand people present. Neal arrived in Mount Sterling and was lodged iu jail without incident. The jail atjMount Sterling was attacked last night by a mob who tried to ?et at A. M.

After a Doc Bltr. Belleville, Oxt., February 28.? Stephen Clark, living near Consecon, was attacked with hydrophobia this week and became so violent he had to be taken to Picton jail, lie was seizea with convulsions while engaged in family prayers, and before the neighbors arrived was raving like a madman, tearing and eating his owu flesh until he presented a hideous appearance. Wlien he became rational he stated that lie was bitten bv a mad dog, while traveling with a circus, in 1880. During the first four hours his fits were accompanied with barking, srrowling and imitation of heavy panting, and during the intervals the barking of a dog would immediately excite another fit. After being strap ped to a bed by seven muscular men he got loose and cut his face badly in attempting to shave. He also pulled oft' pieces of flesh hanging from a wouod on his hand and chewed it, being apparently pleased with the taste"of his own blood. Physicians think the case one of hypochondria, the origin of which at first was quite under control. A Monstrous Crime. Staunton, Va., February 27.?Jos.

V4V/V/V*. ^ui^uiuivuv would ccrtainly be the rule, and the city itself would acquire the solidest character. The next best thing to owning a house exclusively for one's own home, is to rent one: but to rent a flat should be the last resource. This can be said without reference at all to the comfort or discomfort of flat-life. That consideration does not enter into the discussion. The question is simply: What is the best condition for the furtherance of the city's welfare? In the very fact that a flat may be an agreeable nhmle. becausc its owner and not its inmate must bother himself about the taxes, lies the evil to the community. The man who willingly relegates the tax-paying business and all the attendant coucern to the landlord, and who, therefore, has no care what the city authorities may do or neglect lo do, is not the most valuable citizen. His interest in the rise or fail of property is at the minimum. The important question of the police does not disturb him. He does not have to worry about attending meetings of property owners. He becomcs for the most nor* inr><"?ncpnnent,i;il. SO far as his re lease from such obligations go. The philosophers of the school of Henry George recognize the importance of the exclusive home, even while advocating the nationlaizaliou of the land, and, so long as there is ownership in laud, it should be the aim of society to promote, so far as possible, individual possession of an exclusive home, in order that the rich few may not control the home life of the poor many, and in order that the latter may be free from a sense of domination. Bnt as lung as it is not likely that so desirable a condition can be realized, the men who build bouses for single families, rather than blocks of llats, are the men who are doing the best work toward the substantial growth of the city. And it follows that those who occupy these houses arc doing better for themselves and for the city than those who consent to live in shelves. Such p: ogress is now making in city transportation facilities that objections to locations on account of their remoteness are proving less and less serious, and this is one of the hopeful indications. It accordingly becomes the duty of those who have influence in directing the minds of men to the true duties of good citizenship, to urge upon them the desirability of a multiplicity of separate i.omcs as against the grouping of families in omnibus odihees.?

To conclude, I will copy a portion from the "History of Mexico and Texas," by the Hon. John M. Niles, member of the senate of the United States,in 1843: "The existence of various castes, or mixed races, which now constitute so large a portion of the whole population of the country, is the consequence of the subjugation of the natives. The whole population of the Spanish colonies is divided into cla-ses; the natives of old Spain, settled in America, were denominated chapetones. or gashupenes; they claimed the first rank and engrossed most of the places of power S 4. tU*: ana prone, mereiy oa aa'uuui vi men birth; the descendants of European Spaniards in the colonies were called Creoles, and although they-enjoyed the same civil rights as the natives of old Spain, they were treated as a distinct and subordinate class, and entirely excluded from all situations of any importance.
