The houso is a two anil one-half story 6tone mansion, elegantly situated on high ground, commanding a line view of tho sur rounding country and to which is attachod twenty nine acres of ground. It is said to bo tho purpose of tiie President to occupy this homo during the summer months, and at other periods of the year when lio desires to be safe from intrusion wliilo he hns any special labor to perform. It ! is also reported that the President will make ' considerable improvement in tho houso, add ing nn additional story and erecting a tower, which will give a view of the Potomac River as far as Mount Vernon. This would indi cate that Mr. Cleveland intends to make 1 Woodloy, tho name by which the estate is known, his home after retiring from the Presidency. The price paid foe the property was $21,500.

This is seen in the spreading out of England’s domain. Before 1858 it was supposed thnt that species had al ways existed in tho same condition in which they were then found. Now this has all vanished. Tho reasons for the migration of animals and plants ore sweeping. All changes in physical con ditions of migrations may work great changes either good or bad. Let the temperature or humidity of a climate be changed, it will bo for tho benefit of some and tho disadvantugo of others. Thus, cutting down shade trees will strengthen the gross which was undor the tree, whilo it will crowd out tho weeds.

North America waa onco joined to Europe across the Arotic ocean, allowing the pasqpge of animals. Migrating birds and storm winds may carry with them many hundreds of miles small insects and seeds. The migration of the potato bug from Colorado has been rapid, and were it not for man’s caro there would have been a complete de struction of the species of potatoes.” Blunting the Feelings. “Curious how one’s feelings get blunt ed by the sight of blood and horrors,” says Sir Chas. Wilson, in his new narra tive of the Nile expedition. “There was one strange incident. An unwounded Arab, armed with a spear, jumped up and charged an officer. The officer grasped the spear with his left hand, and with his right ran his sword through the Arab’s body; and there for a few seconds they stood, the officer being-unable -to withdraw his sword until a man ran up and shot the Arab. It was a living em bodiment of one of the old gladiatorial frescoes of Pompeii. It did not, strange to say, seem horrible; rather, after what had passed, an every-day occurrence. I used to wonder before how the Roman* could look on at the gladiatorial fighta; l do so no longer." No Uncertainty.
