The lady who rumor says is engiged to be married to Gov, Wade Hampton, was in Washington last week. She came to at- tend the Council of the Regents and Vice. Regents of Mt. Vernon, herseif being the Vice Regent of South Carolina. She is very handsome and fascinating, and has step- daughters who are ol ‘er than she and who are warmly attached to her. One is the wife of Senator-elect Butler, of South Caros lina. First Assistant Postmaster General Tyrer says that all other things being equal, he in- variably gives women the preference in mak. ing appointments to office, because he has strong sympathy for those to whom so few avenues of honorabie employment are open. [t would seem that the Secretiry of the Treasury acts upon jist a reverse principle, and many complain that he does it res morselessly and hard- heartedly, It is true that much suffering has been caused by his acts since he came into his present position, but his work has been simply the execution of the law, and not the resu.t of his own personal feeling. lie says he never suflered so in his life as he did in reducing the Treasury force, and thereby throwing.so many poor women out of employment. That there is a grievious fault somewhere in this connection cannot be denied, but it undoubtedly lies further back than the present administration. Superfluous foree should never have been employed, and there is no doubt but that one.to.a very zreat extent. That is not all, however. Our city is half filled to-day with helpless and well-nigh hope'ess peop!e, because work that properiy belongs here is sent away. I! refer to the printing bank notes, ‘lhe necessary may terial and mechinery are in the upper story of the Treasury building, where the work has been done heretofore; but with an al- leged view to curtailing Government ex- penses, this printing has been given ous to American Dank Note Printing Companies in New York, the money paid for it goes into the great city, and these three hun- dred wives, sisters, daughters, and even mothers, of our dead soldiers (with hun- dreds of others dependent upon them for support) are turned adrift and wander about with a heiplessness that too often merges into recklessness, and all because their employment is taken from them. There is in process of execution, in this city, a picture which wiil prooably be pur- chased by the Government, used to orns ment some room in the Capi'al, and go into history as a remembrance of a most remarkable occasion, Itis +‘ The Electoral! Commission’ and represents the scene in the Supreme Court room the day Mr. Evarts spoke. The picture is a large one and includes portraits of many prominen' ladies and gentlemen who were present that day, as well as of the lawyers and members of the Commission. Among those who hive recently given the the artist sit tings are Mrs, iield (wife of Justice Field), Representatives 8. S. Cox and Foster, and —_+ Vv illiam FE. Chandler, ex-Assistant Secre- tary of the Treasury. Mr. Evarts, thin and lank, with his slightly stooping shou). ders and hatchety face, forms the central and principal figure, of course, and his posi- tion and features are natural and life-like. Mr. Richard Anderson who, with his daughters, has been visiting at the White House, has gone to his home in Dayton, Ohio, taking the young ladies with him. Mrs, Hayes has not been without guest-~ since she went into the White House. Mm. mm. Ws THE CROP PROSPECT. According to a Western contemporary, accounts from ail parts of the Dominion are very cheering, and ii nothing intervenes the crop of 1577 promises to be of an un. exampled character. From information supplied from an undoubted source, we learn that the acreege of fall wheat sown is much larger than for many years past, whilst it is admitted generaily that the acreage of spring wheat is the largest that has ever been planted, and that both kinds look exceptionally well. ‘the barley. hae been touched by tie frost in some districts, and jooks somewhat yellow; in scurme dis-~ tricts only about haif, and in others about two-thirds of last year’s acreage has been planted. No doubt the present high price of wheat has induced farmers to sow it more extensively, whilst the large stock ol old barley, and the losses experienced on last year’s crop, and the large amount oi malt on hand, will account for the decreased ‘area given to the bariey. ‘The crop is also | arereny said to be very heavy, promis-~ ; ; ing an abundan! yield. |for serious Consideration, In another let. ter the right non. gentleman recognises the consistincy of the p oplein the sound view oo they have taken of the E stern ques- ion. A Lost Woolwich infint,—One of the fa- mous 35ston guns from Woolwich js now ying deeply buried in the soft mud of th Vhames Bank below Gravesend, and ees ed by several feet of water at every hig! tide. On Monday two of these guns left the Royal Arsenal! in the barge Magog for Cliff Fort, whichis one of the new ious of the river recently constructed t » Sup) 0rt the batteries at Tilbury. Arrived cmnniiie the piace of debirkation, the bows of the barge were Opened, and the irst of the two guns was hauled on to the tramway on the shore; but the rails prove | unequi:l to the ponderous burden, which gradually sank on one side until it passed tie centre of gravity, and then pitched over Carriage aud ail, into the soft mud 7 A fire of a disastrous nature his } outin a large coal pit at Anne miles from No tingham, and boys were at work w fire was raised, and the pr sence of smoke proved that the alarm was not without foundation, It was ascertained that a fire was raging in th» pit, and the utmost con- sternation prevaited amongst t.ose em- ployed there. AS soon as the fact became known on the pit bank, Cages Were lowered and the men siowly rescned from their per- lous position. Several of them were weak and exhausted from suffocation caused b the smoke, and one or two, incluiling Mr Lew.s, the manager of the Collie cy slightly injured by the falling in of the roof in dif. trent places, Several horses Which were in the pit at the time were suffocated, roken slevy, some About 759 men hen the alarm of The Right Honorable Mr. Giadstone’s last speech is to be published in pamphlet form. He is said to regard it as the best speech ever delivered by bim, and, though few persons will quite agree with fn this, it must be admitted t, have beena wondei ful piece of oritory, especially when we remember that it immediately followed two hours of bullying and moking that might have worn out the patience of a much better tempered man, ; CANADA, A sad accident is reported as hay curred on the Bras D’or lake, Cape [wo boats containing sey upset and allon board them were drowned: Wits accident happened on Sunday the 2)th inst., and the unfortunate people were at the tims on their way to attend church. ; ing oc, Breton, en persons were Very Goop.—Mr. Anglin said the other day in Gloucester that he had < ‘slaved” for the last five years in promoting the inter. ests of Gloucester; that but for him the Intercolonial Railway would nog to-day have been built by the North Shore route: that ‘the light houses and heacons which studded every harvor and gully along the coast” were of his providing and due ens lirely to his “unceasing and untiring efforts ;’? and that on the whole “he had done more for the Country than any other man could have done in five times the time.”’ Here is richness! An account of his orae tion says that when the meeting broke up “some one remarked that Peter Mitchell would be surprised t» learn that it was Anglin who hed built all the lights houses and got the Railroad by the North Shore,” Che speech has created a roar of laughter extending from Point du Chene to the Metapedia. — Watchman, The Loudon (Ontario) Fiyce Press, a sup. porter of Sir Joha Macdonald and Dr. Tups per, says: “Phe latest question in the States 1s that of Free Ships. That is to say, the American Shipbuiider wants to be placed upon @ fair footing. He asks that his hands should be no more manacled and bis craft destroyed under pretence of fos- tering it. And this particular y as regards tron steam ships, which under existing laws can be neither built with proiit, nor nayi- gated by American seamen, All the great steamship lines between New York and the ports of Eur pe belong exclusively to fo: eigners, Who monopolize the most profit- able part of the carrying trade, Free trade in this ciass of ships would be no injury to Amer.can sbipbuilders, because they do not supply the market for this kind of ves- seis. It. would work no detriment to American shipowners, because they bave DO Vess@ms Which compete with the great European lines. Why, asks a U.S. cons temporary, should our countrymen be de. prived ot the profits of navigating such ships if they cannot profitably build them? Which is a very pertinent question, But in the endeavour to keep out Canadian ships and British ships the result has been not Ouly to destroy the ship~buiiding inter. est itseif, but tv transfer United States commerce to foreign bottoms, Many peo- ple begin to think that it is time that a nation of forty-two millions of people should enjoy a commercial matine of its own, and no longer remain dependent upon the aid of others.
