Washington Letter.
Washington, June 6, 1885.
Notwithstanding the hot weather
already folt in Washington, I learn
that the President and his Cabinet
propose to remain here all summer.
There had been talk of going to
Soldiers’ Home, which place has
been a convenient dog days’ retreat
for Presidents since President Lin
coln set the fashion. But it is now
said that Mr. Cleveland will remain
at the White House right through
the hot season and set an example
to several thousand offensively de
licate republican clerks, who have
considered a summer in this city a
thing to he shunned as deadly, or
worse, vulgar. Washington, how
ever, is not now the heated and
suffocating place of former days.
Its many parks, cooled by shade
trees and fountains and made lux
urious with scats and paved walks, i
furnish abundant and convenient j
escape from the ardent rays of the j
sun. The asphaltun streets that j
were wont to absorb heat through- 1
out the day and radiate it during j
the night, thus making day and
night intolerable, arc now shaded j
with the trees planted ten years ago J
and the mean summer heat has
been summarily reduced about
three degrees. If you take your
stand on the top of the Washing
ton Monument, you will be able to
see the cause of the improvement.
You will overlook a labyrinth of
young and vigorous shade trees, j
In a few years Washington will be.
the forest city of the Nation. The ,
trees shade not only tlio grand!
boulevards where fashion in livery •
takes its drive, hut the squalid >
shanties of Virginia and Maryland |
avenues are also shaded. There:
arc about 60,000 shade trees along |
the streets in Washington and;
many more in the different parks.
It has been estimated that the city
has 125 miles of shaded streets.
It was the plan of those who have
had the matter in charge to plant
the narrower streets with two rows
of trees, and many of the wider ones
with four rows. This plan has in
the main been carried out. Set out
in single file twenty five feet apart
the trees would extend from Wash
ington to New York. Planted in a
grove with a “pace of twenty five of
between the trees, they would form
a forest of 800 acres.
The last few years have made
great changes in the appearance of
Washington. Your correspondent
has resided here but twelve years,
but he has seen in less than half
that time whojp streets of negro,
shanties give place tothe elegant
houses of claim agents, mail con
tracters, and millionaires —the
Blaines, the Dorseys and the Ro
bersons who flourished during the
unctuous Presidencies of Grant and
Hayes. The city has not a popur
latio.n of more than 200,000, and
the wealth of the country is daily
seeking investment hero. Retired
wealth finds here a larger number
of attractions for a winter residence
than in the larger Eastern cities.
But it is in the summer that the
city is really most attractive. Cool,
spacious parks then take the place
of heated and crowded drawing
rooms. Who would not prefer
paradise to pandemonium? It is
not remarkable that the President
has decided to spend the summer
here. He is less a sybarite than
any President since Lincoln, and
the thermometer at ninety has no
terrors for him surrounded by the
grand trees of the White House
grounds. His Cabinet will also re
main here. The Secretary of the
Interior and the Attorney-General
know the advantages of a summer
in this climate as compared with
that of their native cotton Holt. Se
cretary Bayard will leave every
Saturday to see his family at his
ancestral home in Delaware, return
ing to the State Department on
Monday. The other Secretaries will
remain here, as will also the Chiefs
of Bureaus, and a much larger
proportion of clerks than have hi
therto remained in the city. Many
clerks cannot leave because of the
new rule prohibiting leave to those
who have been absent from sick
ness or other cause for thirty days.
Others are not willing to go because
they are afraid of finding big Dem
ocrats in their place's when they
return.
Better than She Expected.
“ Your letter received. In reply
lam happy to say the Parker’s
Hair Balsam did much more for
me than you said it would, or than
I expected. My hair has not only
stopped falling out, but the bald
spots are all covered, and all my
hair has grown thicker, softer and
more lively than it was before my
sickness a year ago. Thank you
again and rgain.” Extract from
letters of Mr. R. W. TANARUS., West Fifty
third street, New York.
Douulassville Tex, May 29. —The
reason why, I cannot tell; but one
thing Ido know I have lately been
the very happy recipient of the
Barnesville Gazette to the extent of
two copies which came to me
through the post-office at Dough
las vine. The first thing that at
tracted my attention was the im
mense improvement in the size of
the paper, since I last saw it. On
further examination I found a still
greater improvement on the news
department of its former days. Its
local department is exceedingly in
teresting to mo since it so is full and
brings news of interest from the
land of my childhood. The many
tracks I once made in Barnesville
when a school boy have long since
been effaced, but the happy recol
lections of many events of my youth
areas fresh and green in memory
ias the Oases in the desert. Ah:
happy days of youth : I turn away
from you, but your “Bright smiles
haunt me still.” I have been here in
Cass county 16 years, 82 miles west
of Atlanta, 44 east of Douglassville.
Bouglnssvillc my post-office takes
its name from its first settler John
Douglass who came from Pike
county Ga. Cass is noted for its
line timber, good water and excel
lent society. This is a very healthy
country but not considered a rich
farming section when compared
with the prairies of Texas.
Fresh lands with moderate sea
sons and good cultivation produce
per acre, 25 bushels of corn, 1000
Ifis seed cotton, 30 bushels oats.
Peas, potatoes, sugar cane and veg
etables of every description raised
in this latitude do well. This is a
| fine fruit country and this year the
j prospect is bountiful. The spring
has been backward but the crop
i prospect is very encouraging. Ma
ny farmers are now laying by corn
which is bunching to tassel. A
large lumber business is carried on
,'n this county. About 200 saw
mills are cutting lumber daily aver
aging from 5,01*0 to 50,000 feet per
day. Lumber is very cheap and can
be purchased as low as $5 per thou
sand feet. The usual price has
been $lO. Cass county the Texas
and Pacific R. R. for 40 miles, East
Line and Red River 15 miles, St
Louis and Texas 10 miles, and a
new road is being built from Queen
city to Spring Bank, (20 miles in
this county) to connect with water
navigation to New Orleans Lands
are yet cheap here but certainly
cannot remain so long.
Cass is rapidly improving. At
lanta hut a few years ago an old
field is now a booming city with
more than 2000 inhabitants. Queen
city her neighbor only 2£ miles off
is not far behind her. Our county
docs not owe a dollar and has plen
ty money in the treasury. The
school fund for the present year is
about twenty thousand. Texas is
determined to educate her children.
Fearing I may write more than you
desire let me conclude by congrat
ulating your community on having
such a paper as the Gazette has
grown to be. It is keeping pace
with Texas development and I will
read it with increased interest.
Please allow mo to subscribe my
self. Uncle Nell

* * * Rochester, June 1.1885. “Ton
Yours ago I was attacked with the most
Intense and deathly pains in my buck and
—Kidneys.
“Extending to the end of my
toes and to my brain !
“Which made me delirious !
“From agony!!!!
“Tt took three men to hold me on
my bed at times !
“The Doctors tried in vain to re
lievo me but to no purpose.
Morphine and other opiates!
“Had no effect!
“After two months I was given up
to die !!!!
“When my wife
heard a neighbor tell what Hop
Hitters had done for her, she at
once got and gave me some. The
first dose eased my brain and seem
ed to go hunting through my sys
tem for the pain.
The* second dose eased me so much, that I
tlept two hours, something I had not done for
two months. Before I had used five bottles. I
was well and at work as hard as any man
could, for over three weeks: but I worked too
hard for my strength, and taking a hard cold,
I was taken with the most acute and painful
rheumatism all through my system that ever
was known.
“I called the doctors again, and after several
weeks they left me a cripple on crutches for
life, as they said. I met a friend and told him
my case, and he said Hop Bitters had cured
him anti would cure me. I poohed at him,
but he was so earnest I was induced to use
them again.
In less than four weeks I threw away my
crutches and went to work lightly and kept
on using the bitters for tlve weeks until I be
came as*!well as any man living, and have
been so for six years since.
It lias also cured my wife, who had been
sick for years; and lias kept her and my
children well and healthy with from two to
three bottles per year. There Is no need to be
sick at all if these bitters are used,
J.J. Berk. Ex Supervisor.
“That poor invalid wife, Sister. Mother.
“Or daughter!!!!
“Can be made the picture of health!
“M ith a few bottles of Hop Bitters!
genuine without a bunch of green
flops on the white label. Shun all the vile.pois
onous stuff with ,‘Hop” or “Hops” inihefr
name.
