Washington Letter. J&san Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Sept. 27, 1886. Kn itor Union-Recorder: The President and his family have r^jurnedtothe "White House and they ame spending their time very quietly. THev take an almost daily drive to t±se country house, overlooking AVasn- raeton, which the President recently ’sought. The heavy rectangular sfcone mansion has been thorough y reanodeled and when completed will sziake an attractive country home, indeed, the rapid growth of AVashing- fco«* will allow it to remain long in the ^ white House at present is uneventful—there will, be no enter tainments until the opening of the regular season when the usual num tier of receptions and State dinners will be given. The President will be- irin the preparation of liis annual mes sage at once, so as to get it outlined as least before Congress comes back. He lias few visitors now and no press ing business, so that he can take as much time as he pleases for his mes sage. Meanwhile the heads of the Departments are preparing the data wiiicli he will need in Ins review ot their operations during the first year of his administration. It is needless to sav that the bare statement of the facts-will make an admirable showing ‘or all the Departments. Every bony who has anything to do with them knows that they never were more honestly, economically, abiy, and let it be added with emphasis, courteous ly administered before. The “season'’ this year will be -diort but it promises to be brilliant. The President, it is said, is not fond of reneral society. He was evidently in -Atease, if not actually bored at some of the Diplomatic and State dinners which offiicial etiquette required lnm fo give last winter. Mrs. Cleveland, however, is fond of society, and socie ty is thoroughly in love with Mr>. Cleveland and her social tastes may perhaps prove a foil to Mr. Cle\e- ia ad's reel use disposition. Mrs. L leve- laucl will be sought after and invited ' here, there and everywhere; hut she w iH v> e able, as mistress of the AY lute House to accept very few invitations. The President can't accept invitations to dinners or parties where he is likely to meet one of the diplomatic eorps; tor the President to dine out with one • Minister of a foreign nation would be 7 o insult all the other representatives ia.nd cause each and every one to write polite letters to their home govern ments. informing them of the insult offered their sovereigns or rulers. Here the Diplomatic corps is invited as a body. It is generally known bv people versed .n society itaes that if "the President is invited no for- Aigr. representative is to be invited. President Arthur loved to go. out to narties. and he always was “ beforehand who was to oartv. Cleveland has occasion, to inquire, be- ,e Lit a n-t. Whether A PHANTOM ENGINEER Come Back to Save Pace’s Ghost a Train- Story. -Jim PLANTATION SUPPLIES —AND— dinner ^enabled to tei. compose the man' 'or licr aatunlHi soon as it gets more of an ofThna trial and do not here. While the ‘ strictly begun, another sense, nm ■ocial season it may be said, in that AVashington is never out of season. It is pretty full the year around. People begin to come" in from the seashore and moun tains the latter part of August and ire all home by the first week in Sep tember. AVashington has become a very popular Autumn resort. Peo ple going south for the winter always pass through here. Each year they tarry longer They ’begin to leave the summer resorts earlier and delay their trips to Florida later. The cus tom is becoming common to stop in Washington the first of October, on their wav south, and to stay several weeks. The traveling public have discovered the attractions of AVashing ton as an autumnal and early winter resort. Before these birds of passage have flown, -the social and political season has begun. This brings in a different set of people representing the wealth and fashion of all parts of the Union; those who are interested hi legislation before Congress and many others of a literary or dilet tante turn, who come to make a daily study of life and manners, as repre sented at the only great American capital. About the time Congress adjourns the procession of spring and summer travel sets in. They are not as numerous or as wealthy as the peo ple who visit Washington in the fall and winter. They are those who take advantage of excursion rates,—coun try people, brides and grooms, and or ganizations of various kinds. These find as much pleasure in the city with Its many attractions as the city peo ple do in the country in summer. More than Was Contractod For. John A. Stewart, of the firm of Led better & Stewart, well-known con tractors, at No. 5 Lafayette ave., was one of the three fortunate holders of a one-fifth interest in ticket 19 406 which drew $10,000 at the July draw ing of The Louisiana State Lottery. A Tribune representative found Mr! Stewart at his elegant home at 736 Cass ave., and learned it from his own lips. Said he: “Some time before the July, 1886, drawing of The Louisiana State Lottery, my friends, W. J. Sul livan? and AVilliam Hertebus of this city and myself parted with $5 each for fifteen different fifths interest in tickets. It was my first venture. AVe expected nothing, but we received no tice that ticket No. 19,406, in which we had a fifth interest, had drawn $10,009, and a check for $2,000 was re ceived, and we divided equally.”— Detroit (Mich.) Tribune, July 28. [New York Tribune.] It’s only a ghost story. Jim Pace told it one dark night to a little crowd that gathered in the round-house. Jim’s a veteran of the rail. He was 72 last week, and has pulled a throttle as many times as any living man. “How he used to make old Six walk,” is the common expression wherever Jim’s name is mentioned in a crowd. He loved the engine better than any thing else in the world, and it nearly broke his honest heart to give her up. Jim never had an accident, but that wasn’t his “fault,” he always said. “It wasn’t time that missed ’em, it wuz ole Six. She wouldn’t ever go into the back end of a train 6’ the blackest night an’ all lights out. You couldn’t drive her. Couldn’t get ’er nigh ’er broken bridge or trestle or washout.” Jim never got any further with his explanation until that night at the round-house, when some of the boys begged him to tell them why old Six wouldn’ get into trouble. “As I've quit the track, boys,” he began, “I don’t min’ fellin’ yer why. Reckon y’all know I took to firin with Dave (Trillin, and all 1 know about’er engine I learnt from him. He was like ’er father ter me, an’ when he died I lost the best frin’ a lone boy ever liad. Lost, did I say? No, not lost, but—” ‘He looked out into the night and the little audience waited for him to finish the sentence. But he went on anew. “I worked mighty hard an’ faithful, but I wuz ’11 ole man when they gim me the best engine on the road. You’ve all heard of ole Six? She’6 scrap-iron ten years ago. I had run along for er good many years 'thout er accident of any sort, an’—*y' all know' how 'tis—had" got sorter careless, like. I knowed every rail an' cross-tie in the road, to say nothin’ of bridges an' trestles an' culverts, an' could shet my eyes an' tell where I wuz by the way ole Six carried herself. Well, one night—it's the darkest night I ever saw; the moon an’ stars seemed as if they'd gone out for good, an' the black, thick clouds set so close to the earth that yer could feel ’em as yer plow'ed through »em. Headlights didn't amount to much them days, no how. but that night mine didn't do good at all. Sump'n must've blacked the glass, for I couldn't see ten steps ahead of the pilot, an' what dim light ther was flashed sickly against er solid front uf cloud. By an' by it began to rain. The water came down like the bottom had fallen out, an’ in less'11 five minutes I could hear it roarin’ in the ditches alongside the track. The noise it made tearing through the culverts drownded the rattle er the train. I hope ’ll never see secli ! another flood. Lightnin" every min ute an' jess split the darkness on all , sides, an' the thunder boomed "mong j the clouds as if the old earth was ex ploding from the inside fires. At i every boom the clouds gave down more rain, an' old Six trembled as if she was skeeredto go ahead. •'On we went, up hill an’ down, forty miles an hour an' no stops fur nations. We climbed the summit at Pinson's an' pushed by like a skeered deer, on down the long grade toward Dykes’ run an" the big trestle. I knowed it s the best on the road, an’ I wasn't afeered to go over it er mile er minute, so I didn’t slack up. 1 - leaned back in my seat an’ listened society , to the ragin’ storm outside. My fire man had opened the furnace door an’ r '? : 1 stepped back in the tender for some coal, when suddenly a big, white, headed man got between me an’ the red light of the furnace fire an’ leaned over toward the front o’ the cab. One long arm reached out, an’ fakin’ hold o’ the throttle shut off the steam. The other pulled three long blasts of the whistle, the signal for brakes, an’ then before I could say a word the man caught the lever in both hands an’ reversed her cl£an back to the lowest notch. The same long arm again reached the throttle an’ pulled her wide open. Old Six’s drivers be gan to spin around backward and the train began to slack up, Jumpin’ up, I made a lunge at the ole man, but instead of hittin’ him I fell flat across the cab. I got up an’ saw him still standin’ there lookin’ out ahead. I throwed my arms around him to pull him away, but they passed right through his body and fell at my side. He turned an’ looked at me, an’ I saw it was Dave—Dave Griffin, come back from the grave! “When my senses come back the train was standin’ still an’ Dave was gone. I knowed there was somethin wrong ahead, so I got out an’ walked down the road. A hundred feet away I came to er great gap in the track— the big trestle was gone! The creek was growed to a mighty river roarin and rushin’ and gurglin’ over the piles. Boys, I didn’t feel skeered then, but somehow I couldn’t Stan’ up. My legs felt weak an’ give way under me, an’ I set dawn on the track in the pourin’ rain. I—I didn’t go to sleep, couldn’t ha’ done that, but my fireman said he had to shake me purty hard to git me up. No, boys, I didn’t run ole Six. It’s Dave an’ me together that’s always pulled her through.” •Agricultural Implements! -I liave a full stock of- Groceries and Provisions, Bagging and Ties, And am prepared to meet the demands of all who may favor me with their patronage for Plantation Supplies of all kinds, at prices that cannot be excelled in this section.

But it does cure any disease Tor which a reputable physician would prescribe IEOH Physicians recognize Iron as the best restorative agent known to the profession, cod inquiry of any leading chemical firm will substantiate the assertion that there are more preparations of iron than of any ether substance used in medicine. This shows con clusively that iron is acknowledged to be the most important factor in successful medical practice. It is, however a remarkable fact, that prior to the discov ery of BROWN’S IRON BITTERS no perfect ly satisfactory iron combination had avoroeen found.
