A TRIP TO RICHMOND. Mr. Editor : Your polite announce? ment thatwo ?would give your readers nu account of our visit to Richmond forces us to break silence. Richmond is indeed a grand and glori? ous old city?glorious in her history, and grand in her possibilites. To say that your stay of three weeks in the historic city was pleasant, would be but feebly to express the real truth ; the hospitality of the people and the many places of inter? est about the city completely captivated u3. Besides the attractions of the city, to ait as a member of the law making body of one of the leading Christian de? nominations ojf^&e Union was both pleasant ?cd -profitable. That body was composed of many of the most distin? guished divines in the Southern pulpit and a number of the ablest laymen in Southern Methodism. Such men as Chief Justice Jackson of Georgia, Judges Tucker and Long of Florida, Lieut.-Gov. Sbands, of Mississippi, the Hon. Geo Thornburg, - Speaker of the House of Arkansas, Judge Ireland, of Kentucky, figured prominently in the deliberations and put their impress upon the work of the body. The writer esteemed it a privilege to be permitted to gather in? spiration from the counsels of tbe wise men of both classes. Bishop Keener pronounced it the ablest General Confer? ence ever held by the Southern Metho? dist Church. His age and experience and ability make him authority. Your correspondent did not confine himself strictly to the deliberations of Conference. His object in going to Richmond was tn ofold. As was declared to you two weeks ago, by "Lay Delegate," who was none other than our colleague, the accomplished and genial Judge- J. Fuller Lyon, of Abbeville, much of our time was given to a study of the public school system of Richmond. We bring away many pleasant recollections, and, we trust/many useful lessons from the primary schools of that city. And, Mr. Editor, let me ask friend Lyon which is worse, to spend much time among tbe schools that are taught by handsome ladies, homely ladies and ugly ladies, or to so far yield to the charms of a coquet? tish young widow as to vote "yes," when he meant emphatically, "no." He was the Lyon cf our delegation, and thought to be the .handsomest member on the floor, but he couldn't fool that woman?, he let the old gray-haired Doctor from Virginia "walk his log." However, if he will keep right quiet we may not re? port him .to Mrs. Lyon; and as for voting yes for no?well, under the cir cuinstances, heterophamies are excu? sable. The want of time and space, sir, would preclude the possibility of our giving a detailed description or making a faithful pen-picture of the many objects and places of interest it was our good for? tune to visit. At the proper time and under favorable circumstances we pro? pose to give tbe children of Anderson County the benefit-of tbe impressions produced upon our mind while in Rich? mond. The regions round about the city, had not the interest for us as for the old soldiers who figured there in times that tried men's souls. A number of empty sleeves were noticeable at Conference; they were touching monuments to the fidelity of the wearer to the Lost Cause. For such as wore them, the old land? marks of the bloody days were full of tender interest. Our evening visits were to objects of interest within the city lim? its. Prominent among them was the State House and.its surrounding park. The State House itself, in our judgment, is a very common affair for the great State of Virginia, the mother of states? men: Our own is far superior to it. Our visit to the State library was purely accidental, but in-the highest de? gree gratifying. We could, of course, only take a glance at the many objects of intense interest to every lover of his country's history. There we saw what purported to be the original Declaration of American Independence, besides a number of copies of papers written by Washington's own hand. In the portrait gallery ate the portraits of many of America's and Virginia's distinguished dead. While in the Capitol we failed to meet the State Supt. of Education, but had the pleasure of shaking the hand of Gov Lee. The Governor is a genial gentle? man of pleasing address and purely Southern in appearance. The equestrian statue of Washington, that which first attracts the attention of a stranger upon entering the park, is the finest piece of work of the kind it has ever been my pleasure to behold. Around it are the statues of Jefferson, Henry, Lewis, and Marshall. These statues themselves are so many text-books for the student. . The little old stone house on Main street known as Washing? ton's Headquarters is a city relic; it is jealously preserved by the city author? ities and is industriously pointed out as one of the objects of greatest interest. Of cource, no visitor would think of leaving Richmond without a drive through the lovely Hollywood Cemetery, the veritable city of tbe dead. Twelve thousand persons are buried there. Nature made the place beautiful, and the wealth of men has adorned and made more attractive the last resting place of their cherished dead. In this beauti? ful place?beautiful in the sweetness and sadness of the thoughts it inspires? stands the Confederate Monument in all its solemn graudur. In its pathetic and solemn silence it speaks of tbe deeds of the nameless heroes that lie beneath it. While strolling silently and pensively with my companion, Judge Lyon, among the Confederate graves and wondering if some of our own Carolina's unsung heroes had not slept there for twenty years and more, our eyes fell upon a nicely polished piece of marble with this inscription: "South Carolina's dead." Reverently and silently we stood gazing upon the tomb of those who will? ingly laid their lives upon the altar of their country, and, in our souls, repeated that lovely sentiment of the poet, "Cold in the dust tbe perished hearts may lie; But that which warmed them once can never die." And now, Mr. Editor, I find that this letter is already too long, and still there are many places of interest worthy of more than a passing mention. Oakwood, with her thirteen thousand Confederate soldiers, Belle Isle, Libby Prison, St. John's Church, Monumental Church, the old reservoir, made famous by tbe atrocious murder committed there last year, the new reservoir, the Tredegar Iron Works and other places of note press upon .us, but we would not overtax the patience of your readers. We will long remember our visit to Richmond; especially our long and tedious journey home, and its extra heavy cost in con? sequence of the damage of high waters tu tbe railroud5? in Noilh Carolina. Eospoctfully, J. G. Clinkscales. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. vshington, D. C, May 29th, 188G. jl'Iio two long mooted questions have been at last settled. I mean the question of the President's marriage and his pur? chase of a tract of land near the Capital for a Summer home. By the time this letter reaches you our Chief Magistrate will have embarked upon the matrimoni? al sea. The wedding was officially an? nounced, late on Friday night, to take place on June 2d, tbe ceremony to be performed in the Blue Room of the White House, and the President's pastor, Rev. Dr. Sunderland of the 1st Presby? terian Church, to officiate. Only twenty five persons outside of the immediate families are to be invited. After the ceremony a collation will be served in the State dining-room. There will be no bridal tour, as the President and his bride will remain at the White House till after Congress adjourns. A short trip may then be taken, and on their return they will occupy the home just purchased by the President. This new home is a fact and no fiction. The deed was placed on record, and is a finality. The propert" was purchased in the name of the present Marshal of the District, who used to be a real estate agent here, and in whose judgment the President has great confidence. The Marshal after? wards deeded it to Grover Cleveland for $21,000 in round figures. The property contains 28 acres, and on it is a two story stone double house. Work will be begun at once to place the house in suitable condition for occupancy by the President. This is the first instance since tbe infant days of the Republic that our Chief Magistrate has occupied a house owned by himself and furnished at his own expense. It is surmised by some that it is the President's intention to make this his permanent home after he lays down the gavel of authority at the White House. Whether he does or not he can at any time dispose of the property at a large advance on what he paid for it. Many prominent men are buying subur? ban property. General Logan was the first one to buy, and within one month after he bought he was offered $10,000 more than he paid for the property. Others followed, among the latest being Secretary Whitney, .vhose place is adja ?cent to that j ust purchased by the Presi? dent. Since the President's purchase a small tract one mile North of it has been bought by a real estate agent for $15,000. The real purchaser is not yet known, but it is supposed to be a man prominent in public affairs. All this property lies close to what is known as Rock Creek, noted for its wild and romantic scenery and as the stream on which Fulton worked his first steam? boat in 1807. ? The valley of this stream forms a natural and beautiful park, and the Commissioners of the District have for a long time been considering means for improving it. Congress will doubtless further the enterprise at some time in the near future. When it is done the Presi? dent's purchase will be the most valuable in the District. . Affairs are lively at the Legislative halls this week. Oleomargarine has caused the oily tongues of the members to speed without friction, except that kind which is brought on by conflict of views, and of that kind there has been much. It is the only important question discussed in the House this session that has not been tainted with party prejudice. The opponents of the bill did much filibustering the several days that it was under consideration, but whenever a vote was taken on a proposed amendment it was apparent that the supporters of the bill had the best of the controversy, and that tbe bill would finally be carried by a handsome majority. The shipping bill and the fishery ques? tion were also discussed slightly, but both will come up for further discussion soon. The labor arbitration bill and the railroad land forfeiture bill took up much of the time of the Senate. Tbe amendment to the Chinese restriction act also came in for consideration. Senator Sherman took strong ground against the immigration of Chinese to this country. He is keen and far seeing and is trimming for the support of the Pacific Slope in the next Presiden? tial nominating Convention. Usually the President of the Senate is withdrawn from all debates, and so docs not come prominently before the people in Con? gressional proceedings. But Senator Sherman is an exception. He is deter? mined not to be shelved in that way, and so, while enjoying the high honor of being President of theSeuate, frequently steps down on the floor and engages in the discussion of all important questions. By order of tbe President all the Ex? ecutive Departments are closed to day, and the whole city is at the cemeteries, paying homage to the brave dead. On motion of Representative Morrison tbe House adjourned over from Saturday until Tuesday, and like action was taken in the Senate. The Cabinet meeting on Thursday was a prolonged one, and the fisheries ques? tion was the principal question discussed. The course to be pursued has not yet been divulged. H. The Greenville News of tho 27th of May, contains an article on still another proposed railroad venture which Ander? son should feel an interest in. The fol? lowing extract will give the main facts about the meeting and its object: At the instance and request of the leading citizens of Polk County, N. C, joined by the enterprising people of Burke County, a railroad meeting or con? vention has been called at Morganton, on the loth of June, for all the places and communities along the proposed route of tbe Southwestern Air Line from Salem, Virginia, to Greenville, S. C, and it is hoped the section south of tbe line of the old North State will be fully up to its interest in tbe matter, and rep? resented in earnest. Tbe company is chartered and organized for progressive work from Salem to the South Carolina line. There has not been as much news? paper blow about this road as about the Roanoke and Southern for the reason that tbe Valley railroad is not to be sold, as is the Shenandoah Valley Railroad, and no individual interests are to be advanced by a vigorous agitation. Tbere is no competition or opposition between the two lines. It is to be hoped that both will be built. The S. W. A. L. will be most surely at no distant future time. ? Sam Reed, colored, accidentally shot himself near Cornwall's, Chester County, on Thursday afternoon of last week while hunting with several other negroes. Several dogs commenced to fight while they were hunting, and, in attempting to separate tbe dogs, lie struck one of them with bis gun, which was discharged and the load entered his abdomen. He lived but a short time. The Cost of Hie Farmers' Movement. Mr. Editor : Being of a statistical turn or mind, T have figured up what tlio so-called "Tillmari Farmers' Movement" cost the fanners of the State to assemble in Columbia to give Mr. Tillman a chance to unload some of the wisdom that has been troubling him so much to keep con? fined in his devoted head. The meeting in Columbia cost u.h follows : 200 delegates for R. R. fare, $5.00...$1,000 00 200 delegates hotel bills three days, 8G.00. 1,200 00 200 delegates whiskey and inciden? tals, $5.00. 1,000 00 Total.$3,200 00 This meeting in Columbia cost the farmers thirty-two hundred dollars outlay in actual cash. The meeting took place just at planting time, when every man who had a farm ought to have been at home at work; so we add to the above? 200 delegates lost from their farms three days each, allowing their time to be worth $2.00 per day...$l,200 00 So we have $4,400. So much for tbe meeting in Columbia. Now, we have, say, thirty-three Coun? ties, and I suppose each one elected their delegates by a mass meeting like Ander? son County did. Suppose there was present at each of these mass meetings 250 farmers, (who ought to have been at home at work,) and I guess that is a low estimate, and suppose that each farmer's time was worth $1.00 per day to him at home, then it follows : 250 farmers in 33 Counties lose one day each, making a total of days lost 8,250. 8,250 days, $1.00 each.$ 8,250 00 Add to this cost Columbia meeting. 4,400 00 Making a grand total of..$12,050 00 it cost to get to hear Mr. Tillman speak and to pass a few resolutions. Truly this is a step toward economy. "Sir Smug," he cries, (for lowest at the board Just made fifth chaplain of his patron lord, His shoulders itnessing, by many a shrug, How much his feelinps suffered?at Sir Smug,) "Your office is to winnow false from true; Come: prophet, drink, and tell us what think you." Farmer. AN ANDERSONIAN IN BOSTON, A Peep at the YToinnn Suffragists and Fred Douglass. Boston, Mass., May 26, 1886. Mr. Editor: The eighteenth annual meeting of the Woman Suffrage Associa? tion took place in Tremont temple Tues? day, May 25th. Mrs. Lucy Stone, (her husband's name is Blackwell,) President of tbe Association, occupied 'the Chair. She delivered the introductory remarks in which she set forth the terrific wrongs of women?their inability to obtain re? cognition in trades or professions. Their state of woeful suppressions. In fact so deeply were our feelings stirred that we became enthused, and were re; dy to de? nounce X. E. raasculinety as iregener ate tyrants, not only unfitted to govern, but even to carry on the more insignifi? cant of trades. She then introduced the orator of the colored race, Fred Douglass, a portly, comfortable looking darkey who looks as if he bad fallen among pleasant places. He has all the pomposity of the campmeeting exbortor and the eloquence also. We went prepared to cavil, but honestly Fred did well. He warmed up on his subjecL. Evidently the ladies are his weak or strong point. There was nothing absolutely new or original in his remarks. He introduced the ever palatable ''bits" incident to defunct slave days, and made several good points, drifting occasionally into "hisself" and "yes he do," intentionally of course, as he bears tbe reputation of being an edu? cated man, and I am told moves in the very best society of this cultured and musical center; for it is cultured and musical up to the very larynx. The women are daft on the poll ques? tion. They are bound for that indepen? dent vote. Now, we never dream of such a thing our way?do we? Of fact, it would be a perfect elephant to most of us. Nevertheless, we became very much worked up on the question of woman's wrongs. According to Fred, we are per? fect Jacks-in-a-box, and are not having a bit of a nice time, (but we didn't know it, though.) He touched lightly on tbe point of tbe nation's rigbters being idso tbe nation's fighters, adding tbat war W83 the exception, peace the normal condi? tion of tbe country, and a good number of years might reasonably elapse before tbe fighting came in. Anyway, he con? tinued, freedom was dear to the fettered soul. If women only felt they could vole, he believed most of them would vote with tbeir fathers, husbands and brothers. (Here he took occasion to clank the old chains again, amid rapturous applause.) We sat through the soul-harrowing "John Brown" chorus, sung by the entire bouse, and idly noted the fact that in proportion as the women's faces indicated strength and will power, those of the men were noticably weak. Taxation without representation! Sub? ject to laws we do not make! One ques? tion we submit impartially to our sex : Who amongst us would be sat upon by a jury of women ? Certainly not Brad Courtland. The Appointment Tendered to Gover? nor Thompson. It has transpired that the position which was offered to Governor Thompson on his recent visit to Washington was that of United States Commissioner of education. The Governor went to Wash? ington in response to a telegram from Senator Hampton to come on, but which did not indicate the object of the call, and the proposition to accept a position so responsible and honorable unsought and unexpected by him was a recognition of the high consideration in which his labors in behalf of popular education are held and of bis fitness to direct the education? al department of the general government. We feel very well sure that the verdict will be all but universal tbat no more proper man could be found in the whole country to meet the fullest requirements of the position, and that while all must commend the very refined sense of duty to his State which has compelled him to decline the appointment, there will be a very general feeling of regret tbat any? thing should prevent 1?3 acceptance of an office where his pre eminent qualifica? tions for its duties would have enabled him to extend to tho educational interest of the country at large the benefits ofthat ripe experience and enlightened and lib? eral policy which have under his admin? istration as superintendent of education and governor effected so much for popu? lar education in South Carolina. This country has no purer type of man? ly patriotism than that which the public and private record of Hugh S. Thompson presents, and it is indeed a hopeful sign when such men are preferred for places of high trust and responsibility to the self-seekingaod aspiring horde who crowd the avenues to eyery public place, and are too often foisted into their positions regardless of character or fitness. It is to be hoped that the barrier to preferment which Governor Thompson's sense of duty has raised between him and the broad field of usefulness which invites him will not exist for long, and constitu? ents may yet see him placed where he can truly do the most good.?Columbia Register. The Evolution Question Settled. The Sixth day's proceedings of the rjonrv.nl Assembly of (he Presbyterian Church, South, uii Tutswlay, was devoted to the discussion of the question of evo? lution. The debate was opened by Dr. 11. K. Smoot, of Texas, in favor of the majority report, contending that the matter is properly before the Assembly for decision, and not a matter of conve? nience or i?xporUcnry ; iluil. it tarn not bo deferred. Dr. George D. Armstrong, \V. F. Junkin and G. B. Strickler followed in support of the majority report. In favoring the majority report Dr. F. L. Ferguson, of Louisiana, opposed action at this timo by the Assembly, on the ground that it would prejudice the case of Dr. Woodrow, now pending in the lower court of the church. Dr. W. Flinn and Dr. Woodrow closed the debate on the minority report. Dr. Woodrow did not speak in support of, or even advance his theories of evo? lution, but spoke against the propriety of the Convention taking action now, and against the Assembly adopting the report of the majority, alleging the creation to have been immediate. The majority report was adopted by an overwhelming vote of 137 to 13. To several overtures on the subject of evolution of man sent up by the presby? teries, the General Assembly returns auswers as follows: The church remains at this time sincerely convinced that the scriptures as truly and authortatively expoundod in our "confession of fmth" and catechism teach that Adam and Eve were created body and soul by the imme? diate act of tho Almighty Power, thereby preserving perfect race unity. That Adam's body was directly fashioned by Almighty God without any natural ani? mal parentage of any kind, out of matter previously created of nothing, and that any doctrine at variance therewith is a dangerous error, inasmuch as by the method of interpreting the Scriptures which it must demand, and iu conse? quences which by fair implication it will involve, it will lead to a denial of the doctrines fundamental to faith. Afterwards in the discussion of the report of the Committee upon Theologi? cal Seminaries a most animated discus? sion was had as follows upon the section of the report indicated: "Columbia Seminary?a very brief re? port from the Board of Directors of this institution fills us with sorrow and amazement. It tells us this beloved seminary, with its assets amounting to $270,000 and tbe annual cash income of $11,784, closes this terra with only eleven students, and that five of these are in the Senior class, leaving only six as the prospect of next year. It tells us further that twenty-two students matriculated; that Dr. Woodrow resumed his duties as the Perkins Professor about the middle of last December; that eleven students were dismissed, and that Dr. Girardeau has resigned. "Therefore, in view of these facts, es? pecially the small number of students and the large amount expended in train? ing them, your committee recommend the following: "Resolved, That this Assembly recom? mend tbe four Synods controlling this Seminary to suspend it for the present, and until the Providence of God shall indicate that it should be opened again de novo." Dr. Woodrow spoke in opposition to tbe report, saying the inferences to be dtawn from it were unwarranted and un? fair. The statement is made in such connection as to convey the idea that $11,000 was the expensc of the Seminary last year, which is not true. Again the impression is created that Dr. Girardeau resigned upon my resum? ing my duties in the Perkins professor? ship ; this also is not true. Again it is alleged that because there are so few scholars, the seminary should be closed. Was there ever such an argument? Be? fore this there has been a smaller mem? bership.of students in attendance, but it never was considered a reason for closing the seminary. Rev. R. K. Mosely, of Texas, offered the following amendment: "We recommend that the synods iu charge speedily take such steps as in their judgment will be best designed to restore the seminary to the confidence of the church." Rev. J. A. Preston?The way for the Presbyterian Church to reach this mat? ter is not to abolish the chair, but the professor. Go and put your hand upon the man, whoever he may be, that is standing in the way of the success of the institution and say, "Sir, you mu3t get out." I am not afraid to have science alongside of our Bible. True science has no couflict with God's word, but it is this miserable caricature of science against which I enter my protest. I think the paper offered is exceedingly unfortunate. I want us to do tbe right thing?the manly thing. Rev. R. K. Mosely?I say also let us do the manly thing and put our haud upon the troubler. Dr. Woodrow?Do you mean me ? Rey. R. K. Mosely?I decline to be interrupted. Before the committee I urged a paper that was not adopted that we should find tbe trouble and remove it. Can it be claimed that this Assembly has not the right to do this ? Dr. M. Van Lear?There is no doubt as to the power of the Assembly; the question is as to the propriety of exer? cising that right. The deliverance of this Assembly will have great effect, and will be equal to rendering a verdict against a gentleman who has not had the benefit of a hearing. Rev. Dr. Hooper, of Alabama?There can be no doubt that the cause of this trouble was the address upon evolution delivered by Prof. Woodrow, by request of the Board of Directors of Columbia Theological Seminary. There are four Synods who have charge of this semina? ry, and there is a tie vote between them as to removing Dr. Woodrow, and we have no power to settle the question. When a majority reinstated Dr. Wood row we had no doubt, however, that he would then resign, but he would not. Dr. Woodrow?Did you vote for my reinstatement? Dr. Hooper?I did not; but like a good Presbyterian bowed to the expressed will of the majority, which you have not done. Dr. Woodrow?Elijah and St. Paul were said to be troublers in Israel; I count it honor to be classed with these. Dr. Mosely's amendment adopted. Rev. Wra. Dinwiddie?In the absence of Dr. Hendrick, Chairman of tbe Com? mittee on Theological Seminaries, I offer the following amendment: "Resolved, that whereas the General Assembly is convinced that Rev. James Woodrow, D. D., one of the professors in Columbia Theological Seminary, holds views repugnant to the Word of God and to our Confession of Faith, as ap? pears both by his address published in the Southern Presbyterian Review for July, 1S84, and in other publications, and upon bis statements made upon the floor of this Assembly ; therefore this General Assembly does hereby, in accordance with its action yesterday, in regard to tbe oversight of the Theological Semina? ries, earnestly direct the Synods of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and of South Georgia and Florida, which direct and control the said Seminary, to dismiss the said Rev. James Woodrow, D. D., as professor in the said Seminary, and to appoint another in his place." This is the only manly and straightfor? ward paper that has been ofTered. This does not beat about the bush, or attempt lo accomplish anything indirectly, but goes directly to the trouble and removes it. Dr. Junkin, of Charleston?It is just to the Assembly, to the institute, and to Dr. Woodrow to prosecute to the fullest extent the principles that we have affirm? ed. If we believe, that these principles are tbe true principles, then the only manly course for us is to follow the ques? tion to its logical outcome. Dr. Strickler?Said he had not before taken interest in any of the papers prq posed. They were now brought to the point of facing the music. Let that be done or nothing. Rev. J. A. Pre-stoD?Spoke in favor of the substitute. He bad voted for Rev. Mr. Mosely's amendment because it was the best thing then before the Assembly. He heartily favored the substitute and was ready to face the music. It was the only manly course. It was the plain duty and tlir? plaiu constitutional right of the Assembly to lake the action proposed. The yeas and nays were called upon Dr. Dinwiddie's amendment, aud Dr. Tadlock, Professors in the Columbia Sem? inary, were excused from voting. The amendment was adopted bv a vote of 54 to 30. Tim point, was Hu?? raised that there was conllict between the two amendments that had been adopted?the amendment of Rev. R. K. Mosely, recommending tbe Synods to do what, in their judgment, was best to restore the Seminary to the confidence of the church, and the amend? ment of Dr. Dinwiddle directing them to do a specific thing. A number of members spoke upon this view of the case, and several motions were made. Dr. Hill's motion prevailed that the section be referred to a commit? tee of three, to be appointed to harmon? ize the differences existing between the two amendments adopted by the Assem? bly, and Drs. Hill and Dinwiddie and Gov. Maryo were appointed. Chairman Dr. Hill of the special com? mittee, announced tbat they had harmon? ized the conflicting sections of the report upon Theological Seminaries, and offered the following report: Resolved, That, whereas, the General Assembly, is convinced that Rev. James Woodrow, D. D., one of the Professors in Columbia Theological Seminary, holds views repugnant to tbe Word of God and to our Confession of Faith, as appears both by bis addresses published in the Southern Presbyterian Revieio for July, 1884, and in other publications, and by his statements made upon the floor of this Assembly. Therefore, this General Assembly does hereby, in accordance with its action yesterday in regard to the oversight of Theological Seminaries, earnestly recom? mend to the Synods of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and South Georgia and Florida, which direct and control the said Seminary, to dismiss the said Rev. James Woodrow, D. D., as professor in the said Seminary and to appoint another in his place, and speedily to take such other steps as in their judgment as will be best adapted to restore the Seminary to the confidence of the church. Upon this the yeas and nays were called and the vote resulted as follows: yeas 65 and nays 25. Gen, Youmans's Vssistants.

A procession of painters, dec? orators and upholsters has been moving through the upper part of the structure for several days. Every indication points to a social crisis of some kind. The large corner bedroom has been com? pletely repainted and cleansed, after which new and tasteful draperies and furniture will take the place of the old. While these repairs ure being made the President is sleeping on a cot in the small ball room at the head of the stairs. He assured two of his Senatorial visitors on Wednesday that he enjoyed the Jef iersonian simplicity of his temporary quarters. The cot recalled his bunk in the Adirondack?, perhaps. Others of the President's intimates declare that he chafes considerably under the vexations of house cleaning, and foresees already one of the new burdens of his future state. He has read somewhere that bouse cleaning is the abomination of married life. ? Grace Memorial Church, of Lexing? ton, Va., which has been completed at a cost of between $80,000 and $90,000, is to be dedicated to day. The occasion promises to be one of more than usual interest. Several bishops and other prominent clergymen are expected to participate in the exercises. Grace Memorial Church is said to be one of the most beautiful edifices in Virginia. It wa3 erected in grateful memory of the late Gen. Robert E. Lee, a faithful mem? ber and vestryman of the church during his residence in Lexington. ? Another hymeneal surprise was given the boys on Sunday. Mr. Will Hunt, about 17 years old" went riding on Sunday evening with Miss Minnie Ferguson, Tode Ferguson's 15 year old daughter. They came back married, and have entered upon the bliss of connubial existence. Their friends wish them all the happiness that such an existence has in store.?Spartanburg Herald. ?
