Chnrch, Washington City* Tho aboYO Church, which was dedica ted on tho 28th of February last, Is said to ho ono of tho most Imposing church edifi ces In tho Union, and tho lmndsomest and most olnborato In tho city of Washington. Tho following description of tills magnifi cent structuro wo extract from an ex change paper, which will bo found highly Interesting! “Tho design of tho Church Is pure Goth ic. It Is built of brown stono, rough hew ed. Tho building fronts 78 fret on C Stroot and 118 feet on Four-and-a-llnlf Street.— It Is about fifty , feet In height. At tho northeast corner of tho structuro Is to bo constructed n tower and spire, tho utmost point of which will ho 240 foot from tho pavement. Tho main front of tho church Is from 0 Stroot, thcro being three Inrgo en trance ways, approached by brown-stone steps. Tho main audlcnco-room, 88 fret dcop by 76Jbot wide, Is by far tho hand somest and most elaborate of thomnny fino churches in Washington. Tho celling is about 20 foot high, tho Gothic stylo of architecture bolng faithfully observed.— Six heavy columns rl*o on either side, nf- frrdlng a support to galleries 12 feet 8 Inch es In width, extending around three sides of tho room. Thoso columns arc heavily capped, and over these caps nro arranged gas lets sixteen to each cap, which at night brilliantly illuminate thcr room. At tho south eml of tho room tho pulptt has boon fronted In an nlcovc. Tho wall In tho roar of the pulpit is beautifully frescoed, and on cither side is n panel, on ono of which Is inscribed tho Ten Commandments, and upon the other tho Lord’s Prayer. Tho keystone of tho (trail above tho pulpit Is made of the stono from which Solomon’s temple was erected, and hoars upon Its free tho inscription, in Hebrew charac ters, “Jehovah Jireh.” Tho frontof the pulpit is of black walnut, and the design is clmstc and bcnutiftil. Tho panels are of Olivo wood from the garden of Gethsomano, On tho front is a magnificently curved cross with tho loiters “I. II. 8.," crowned with a wreath of twining Ivy, all In walnut.— Tho caps of the posts on either sldo of tho pulpit are of olive-wood from tho Mount of Olives. Tho whole appearance of tho pulpit and altar Is grand and imposing. , “Afeature in tho construction of tho cdifico was the idea suggested of making tho windows of tho church memorial tab lets, commemoratlvo of mon and incidents prominent in tho history of the Methodist Dluirch. There are Bixlcen of those win dows In tho main audience-room; each contains a design connected with tho his tory of tho Methodist Episcopal Church, with sonio appropriate motto. Tho first window lias for Its dcBign tho death of Wesley; another has tho representation of an itinerant minister on horseback, with the motto, ‘Tho world Is my parish.’ ” A Handsome Non,. Ono day last wlnter, a little boy from tho South, who wns on n visit to tho city, was taking his first lesson in tho art of “sliding down tho hill,” when ho found his foot in rather too close contact with a lady’s silk dress. Surprised, mortified and confused, lie sprang from Ills sled, and cap in hand! commenced an apology. “I beg your pnrdon, ma’am; I am very sorry.”' “Never mind that,” exclaimed tho la dy, “there is no great harm done, and you from Loomis Muslcnl Journul.l Present mid Future.

Wo are all gentlemen nnd gentle-women. Any hint to the contrary is a gross Insult; yet every day wo violate the laws of good breediug. Incivilities abound. There must he a radical wrong somewhere. Our mansions nnd cottages are not all- homes of kiud fceling and gracious expression, sending’out genial currents throughout 1 tho whole social system. Too many sit iu dingy fhs tians, with unkcmptnndslip-sliod manners at tlicir firesides, and talk bar barisms nt tlicir tables, and then put on velvet robes and .paradise feathers—dress- coats anil suavity, and go forth—puissant gentle folks. But tlieir lino feathers will get away ou parade, and discloso tlio coarse habits beneath. Slang phrases, ridicule, slovenliness; vul gar attitudes and oaths, are admitted into no system of good breeding, and tho thor oughbred can, by no possibility, bo sur prised into them. Therefore, ho or shi who does not avoid all these things becai of an Innate, natural aversion to thern^ is coarse and unrefined, however much'su avity of manner and lino apparel they may put on when they go forth from theimoiucs into tho world.

This morning, about. 11:80 o’clock, sho went into the room wliero Inglo was re clining upon a sofa (lie having sat up with a sick person last night), and asked him If lie would support Ills unborn child; he re plied .with curses, nnd therefore she snap ped’ a revolver at him, and that fiilllng, she seized an axe and struck him on the top of tho bond, the blow penetrating the brain. Tho unfortunate man fell from tlio lounge on which ho had been sleeping and Ills murderess immediately got into a ear and proceeded to tho Central Guardhouse, where sho gave herself up.

An old bachelor promised to give a young lady a pony for a kiss. She gave him the kiss, much to bis surprise, but he refused to give her tho pony. She sued him; ho pleaded no consideration;” tint the court held that a kiss Is a valid consideration, and so the old sneak had to “pony ” over, some time, but <11.1 not marry because each had a mother dependent upon them for support. Tho two mothers refused to live together, anil tl;elf children would not lcavo them, hut decided to postpone their marriage until one or tlio other should die. Both mothers arc still living, nnd tho gen tleman continues to visit tho lady, their fil ial duty still keeping them apart. Tho man has had the consumption for several years, and doubtless, cro cither of the ag ed mothers shall take their departure, he will have gono to his last resting-place.— Every day a trembling old Eomco, lead ing heavily on his cane, with feeble steps, wends Ills way to tho house of Juliet; a withered maiden lady, whose hair is sil vered by. ago and trouble.

A correspondent of the Louisville Cou rier-Journal, writes tho following to that paper: Tho people hi the norlhem part of the city are getting excited about a ghost which haunts the Baptist church and other local ities in that vicinity, greatly to tlio .terror of the inhabitants. It Inst appeared in the form of a mail draped in white. Several citizens who met the spirit tried to catch It, but it would instantly vanish from their sight and th6u shortly reappear. Ono man fired at it several times with Ids revolver, but without effect. One night last week tho goblin stopped a freight train coming into tho city by getting on the track in front of the train. Thu engineer suppos ed it to be a realman, hnitccl tho train and ran forward to remove the object, when it instantly vanished. The same process was repeated three times. At last tho train ran over tho ghost, hut it wns appa rently unhurt. Such nro the reports from numerous residents of that neighborhood nnd from the men on that particular train. Tho affair is creating considerable excite ment. _ A Fcmnlo Sen Captain. The ship “Chieftain” arrived at New York last week, from Calcutta, in charge of Mrs. Maguire, the wife of tho comman der of tho vessel. The “Chieftain” Is owned nt Philadelphia, and left Calcutta in October Inst, with a crow of twenty-threo men. After they had been out five weeks, Captain Maguire was taken sick, nnd both his mates were so inexperienced that' he preferred to entrust tho care of tho vessel to his wife, who had sailed with him for twenty years. Sho told tho men the cap tain lind placed her in command, and that tlioy would oboy her as acting, captain.— Tho inon did their duty well, and Mrs. Maguire took entire cliargo of the vessel nnd nursed her husband at the same tlino. At St, Helena tho American Consul want ed to put another captalu on board, but Mrs. Magrudcr reftiscd to listen to such an arrangement, and sho brought tho vessel through to tlio entire sntisfhction of the owners. Tills Is the only nnd most suc cessful achievement of tho kind on record. RnllronUi. TVe advise our Sonthora Railroad men to read the following paragraph and try the same experiments and sce if it will not prove as suocessftil In Georgia as in Eu-: rope: “European railroads arc. In manycascs, trying the experiment of running their roads on the plan of low fires, to give tho system a fair trial, and tho result is report! cd to. be entirely satisfactory. Their prof its have been largely increased in conse quence, ly tho'disgrace It entailed on ino State. A people afflicted with a deadly epidemic aro almost ready toforglvo the King of-Ter rors the ravages caused by his progress, if ho will only remove to other climes. And we nro almost ready to forgivo our Legis lative plague Us countless infamies for vduch-Safing its tho respite of even a few short mouths. Tho session, tho public treasury and tlio people’s patience ended the same time, and tho reputation for hon esty of the majority of tlio leading mem bers also wout to keep them company. If, during tho long sitting, n shiglo measure for the public good prevailed; it lmsnot readied tho snrmcc. Schemes for the ben efit of individuals, and legislation to bear down oil “rebels, "crowded out everything of benefit to tho people. The timo not oc- pled in class legislation wns spent in steal ing from tho people, and whitewashing tlilovos. This formed the meat work In hand, and it wns performed with an ener gy and ability that would have ensured substantial blessings to all classes of pco- plo if devoted to a worthy cause. The ses sion will stand out conspicuously as illus trating how little of good and hoW much of evil a body of men can accomplish in a snort time. It will alsustand out consple-. uously as developing more corruption aud ninlico than ever stained tho record of a similar assemblage. But tlio session is over. Tile Capitol is for a season cleared of tho Birds or Prey who daily disgraced the honest men compelled to association with them. For a season tho poor old empty treasury is at rest. For a season no stcnoli of new corruption will putrefy tho air. Brownlow no longer remains in Tennessee. Tho Legislature 1ms adjourn ed. Happy country I • - Extra CompoitHutloil. In speaking of the claims for extra com pensation by the principal clerks of tho Legislature, the Atlanta Constitution strikes a good note, and unfolds some in teresting figures' for tho consideration of taxpayers: Whatever the Senate may do, we trust tho House will not recede from its action In refusing to grant S'OO extra compensa tion to each of theprlncinal clerks. Thoso clerks have no right in (lie world to extra pay. They have performed no extraordi- S service. They receive 812 perdlem, In all sincerity, tills sum is an nmplo return for tho labor tlioy perform. In en tering upon their offices, they know tho salary attached, and were fhmillar with tho duties to bo performed. Wliat right have they to ask for addllion- M pay? Past precedents will not sustain them in their unjust demand . The people wore never so illy nblo to hear heavy bur dens as at this timo. . Should tho Legislature adjourn on tlio 14th instant, It will have been In session 86 days. At 812 per day, tho pay of the clerks will amount fo $0713 each. Add $300 to this amount, and It will he 81,172, or at the rate of 820.87J per day, Including Sun days. Would not tho tax payors say this amount is too much? You may grant it, Messrs. Legislators, but we toll you If you do, the people of tills State will condemn yon for the act from the mountains to the sea. A Western Romance. We find the following sensational story in tho Leavenworth Bulletin. Tako lt for what It is worth: ’ Some days ago a tall grey haired man visited this city in quest of a long lost sis ter. Years ago tho daughter, then living with her parents, in affluonce, lu Vermont, was married to a surgeon of an English regiment stationed in Canndn. In a few years’tlie surgeon died, nnd the widow, as soon as sho discarded her “weeds of mourn ing,’’ married n dashing young man in Montreal. Her second husband proved- They removed to Chfengo/whfrothe hus band gambled away all the money belong ing to Ills wife and was finally murdered In a drunken brawl. Her friends deserted her, aud finally a negro, long in her ser vice, was her only friend, the colored gen tleman enlisted in the army, giving his hounty to the widow. At tho close of the war, the negro loft the service, and tho widow married him, and the pair Settled inLeavcnwbrth'i Here the wealthy broth er found his sister, generously forgavo her uniting her fate with the negro servant, and placed them in comfortable - circum stances. -J t Not beroro an A«», - Aftmdlvlduiil advertised for" u,wife”tho other day, and requested each applicant for the situation to inclose her “carte do vislte.” Oneofhisfilrcbrrespondontaclos- cilher reply in these terms :—“Idpnot en- closo my cart, for, though there Is. somo authorthorlty for putting d cart Before it liofso, I kuow of none for putting ono bo- fore an ass.

Events have proved the correctness of tho policy set forth iu my first and subsequent messa ges. The woes which have followed tho constitutional rule, are'knowu and deplor ed by tho nation.

The following valentine was picked up near the postoffleo, and handed to tho Lou isville Democrat for publication: Dear Molllo: My love for you Is stron ger than the smell of old butter, Switzer cheese, ortho kick of A.Jerusaloin pony, or mule, just as you wish; It is purer than the breath of a young erow, and more usoful than tho caterwalof a young kitten.

Couso for Rqjatcluir. ■ The Chicogo Tribune, ultra Radical as It is, rejoices that in the next Congress its party will bo far weaker than It Is in the present. In speaking of tho House of Rep resentatives, It says: “This shows that, while the Republican ascendancy has been increased In tho Sen ate, the two-thirds control in tho House exists no longer. In that branch it has a respectable working majority, but It can no longer dictate Its will to the party, to tho minority and to tho country. It can no longer pass bills by contract, nor can stock limbers in distant cities bo cortain as to wlmt bills will become laws, and what shall not. Wo think that tho country has cause to rojolco that tho majority In tho noxtJHouso of Representatives, by no pos sible contrivance, can exerciso tho over whelming legislative control which it has cxorcisetfln the Fortieth Congress," . _ which hail left this port ami had xubse- uently changed her (lag In the harbor of ’cnsncola, exciting the suspicion of the Juitcd States authorities in that latitude.

Even the Spanish accounts from Cuba now indicate that the revolution Is gain ing ground. Tho Diarlo of Havana, a fanatical organ of tho Spanish party, makes important admissions. It reports a rapid lnorcaso of revolutionary forces at Mayarl in the Eastern, and near Clonfticgos and Palmlllos, in tho CentralDepartmont.

A curious ease has been brought to the notice of the Slate Department, by a reso lution of tho Illinois Legislature, which will undoubtedly give rise to considerable diplomatic correspondence, at least, be tween this government and those of Wurt- enberg and Bavaria. It appears that some forty years ago a member of the royal fam ily, having loft that State to marry In op position to tho royal will, a'law was enact ed declaring all marriages of the subjects of that State, when contracted abroad, to be null and void. A similar law was also enacted at Bavaria. A caso has now for the first arisen where a marriage In tho United States has been pronqunced illegal wider this law.
