From our Regular Correspondent. Congress has long since gone and the administration is going. Secretary Hay has gone to St. Louis to make .a speech-to the newspaper men there assembled. Secretary Sfiaw and Attornery-Gener-ol Knox will soon hie them out West on spellbinders er rands and talk where they find waiting audiences Gov.

Two or three other members of the Cabinet will take wing in a week ol two, and Pen sion Commissioner W a r e says he has had about all he wants of that kind of busi ness, as -to tne President he delays his depart nre for O.vster Bay but will shortly visit Groton, Mass., where his boys nre at school and where if he is wise he will give himself the honor of meeting the Groton patriot nrfrl pub licist, Gov.

For a weeknow the local papers have ben fillad with advertisements of "The Stew art Sale, A Maaniflcent. Col lection of Valuable House hold Appointments Former Iv in Use at Stewart Castle." The fashionable half of Wash intrton alreadv on the qui vive, was stirred to its depth this morning by the nublica tion of statements denoting a family quarrel on the bor der of n scandal. The Sena tor from Nevada still lingers here to superintend the sale and vesterdav one of his di vorced daughters, Mrs Bps- pie Hookercharcredherfather with heartlepsness and cruel ty in selling her mother's private property and family souvenirs, and with havinjr sent her mother's portrait to the auction-block where she had with difflenlty rescued it.

Yonr "orrcHponden . a1Ied this morninir a the fine rem dnreofMls. B"H-ie Honker in th frn're. of the North western elite. In answer to my card she made her ap pearance and a very attrac tive appearance it was Mrs. Hooker is a vivacious blonde divinely tall and most di vinely fair" and rather show ily dressed for the early morning hours. "The mom ing papers" I said, "publish what is virtually a card from the Senator, and " Yes." she exclaimed, "yen;, uulor tnnately; I cannot help it." I remarked that I thought she mi'Rltt perhaps wish to make some explanation or rejoiud er "No"; Phe said "I cannot. You see that 1 cannot contra diet my father. He can say what he pleases, and I ajn not in a position to defend myself. You see how it is. No; hut I thank you." Ofconrse I deHisted Iroin attempting to obtain an interview, and withdrew. I then culled at theauction house, and found floor after iloor crowded full of the most expensive furnitureand equipments, including choice bric-a-brac from many climes. As I was inspecting an ormolu clock my atten tion was attracted by t he long drawn sigh of a woman robed in black sitting in one of the gilded teak-wood chairs. When I looked to wards her .he said "Ah, sir, this remrnds met " 1 s a i d "You have seen this f u r ni ture befoie? " She replied in a melancholy tone "For years I lived among it." She said W more. I wanted to ask the dishevelled and neat her-Dea ten woman what she knew about it, hut the basbfulness of a regular cor respondent caused me to for bear. The collection offered for sale to the highest bidder contains many rare and val uable works of art, represent ing the best crdftmanship of the East Indies and China. These things ought to find a place in some national mu seum, either in Washington, or New York. The richly car ved ebony and teak wood fur niture,inel(idingsofa8,chairs, tables, pedestals, etc., is as massive and beautiful as anything of the kind ever seen in America, and is up holstered with fine Persian embroidery. Several gorge ous sets of furniture are of French ma k e,' morocco in style, covered with gold and auburn tapestries in pale gra.vB and lovely designs of flowers. Perhaps the most interesting part of the collec tion consists of eldboratet'hi nese embroideries on pale blue and gold colored satin. Thin inrliides very large hang ings. curtaiiin, portiers etc, enough to line a Rreat ball room. They arecoered with dragons, with huge staring eyes and switching tails; birds of all species including storks and peacocks; conven tional designs peculiar to the Chinese and done in both flat and raised work; water monsters and dashing sea waves. There nre also Turk ish carpets paintings and ri h bri' Hvbrae. The prf enmptiou M that ibe Asiatic furniture came to t he SeDa- tor .through the Chinese Am- 'basendor ho.oti'r ,o- j''-'' Castle Stewnnt. ' , The household of Senator Stewart has long been dis tinguished for its turbulence. Is there any cause fur won der? The late Mrs. Stewart waff n daughter of that Hen ry S Foote who beat Jeffer son Davis in the canvass for Gov., of Mibs., andwho was for many years Senator from that state. During the war he was a pfiendd-Union-tnun and in favor of accepting the terms offered by Lincoln in '63 and 64. He hud a most violent temper and was ter rible in his fits of anger. He fought at least six duelsnnd he and Thomas H. Benton had a knock down ton the floor of the Senate. Two ot his duels were with the mag netic orator, S. S. Prentiss and the eory is told that in one of them Prentiss looked up a tree where some boys had climbed to gee the tight and sang out "take care boys, better come down. Foote is shooting wild this morning!" Uoote wus quick ou the trigger, re8dy to fight any body with or without cause and is reported to haye sent at least a dozen challenges that were not ac cepted. So the troubles in the "Stewart Castle" were perhaps hereditary. ' A SUUE THING. It is said th at nothing is sure except death and taxes out that is not altogether true.
