JlJany fv-Ciifihy people now spend tjro or three montits-djes* every-winter, even though they claim no perma nent residence, and no fixed busi ness here- They come for the ex citement, tor society, and to be chronicled among the distinguished people at the Capital. The tide of people which rushes towards Florida and the South as cold weather sets’in usually go by the way! of this city, and generally stay here a week or two, going and coining. These worshippers of the sun, or warm weather, are arriving now in considerable numbers. In addition to the fashionable people It is noticeable that the liter ary guild are also coming to Wash ington for the season.

The wildest iambitipn of Mr. Clay^M8eo,aet have befil fully sa tiated, He had be n at the head of a great and triumphant? party. He had shaved its cpnfidence in pros perity and adversity. ; 1 He had admiration such as has rarely been given to any man in any fnehjls werg-legion, and all the tenacity of holy affection. He left the senate with a reputation for statesmanship, for patriotism and for ep6quence which any man mivht covet. He left public life, too, at peace with all mankind, and with a conscience void of offense. In his retirement ^e.tsarried with'him the best wishes of Tall. men. There he could hate no foe^ and. those who had been foremost to denounce were among the fipit to speak his praises. The last act of Mr. Clay was to pre sent the credguiials of Mr. Critten den, whom he. spoke of- in the most exalted terms^nd to whose hands he expressed a 'willingness to yield the interests pf his -Btate and couu- jtry.

These are a few of the many why Gould so ac- tively^upported Blaine. Gould is a Gould man every time and ottfy a Blaine man incidentally when it will help Gould.

GRANT AND BEAUREGARD. MMtlng of Tbeso Famous Generals tks Other Chicago Herald!, It is a mistake in heroes when ever they neglect to be six feet in height! Two men met in the pub lication office of a New York mag azine, for which both had agreed to write articles. They were intro duced to each other, and I watched them very interestedly, because they weie General Grant and Gen-, eral Beauregard. The visible splen dors of war had departed from them with their uniforms, and their civil ian coats were even' glossed by wear in spots Where gold lace once had shown. Grant walked heavily with a cane, nev.er having entirely recovered from the hurt to liis hip in a last Christmas nighf fall on an iev sidewalk. His hair and whis kers had the shapes made familiar by his portraits, but .his r lowness of stature was deplorable, because he was rather slouchy anicT fat as well. He looked more like s plain. matter- of-fact merchant than the foremost General of.a great war,'. Beaure gard’s head.was all that could,have mperial hue, and the outlines' df a military model, but . he needed n six! finches more of body and legsin. .order to inspire any sense of grandeur. Did they fall into heated' antagonism, as champions of once 'opposed hosts? Notatall. They did not so much as . discuss . the struggle, calmly. Gtsnn <' Their topic was Grant* • lamepess, which he said he did not expect to ever get rid '6f,'' and Beauregard’s rheumatism, which he' ascribed to the changeable northern climate. moll lo.iicR ‘idt h: uregard to cal', on rent replied that..; Jn te< i to do so—all in the^ manner of men who' might ' or might not mean it.'
