"At v.orh to soou!?t cried tte latter, archly. "Isn't he indns ti mns, Mrs. Meeker I" . -Yess" said Gilbert, hyposriti ca'ly, "I am at work already." So ho was, bat not exactly for the fair. He watched nervously for an opportunity to possess hlmseli the precious eheet of paper with out observation, but Miss Orin thia, doubtless prompted thereto by some balefcl evil fpirir, hov ered Around the spruce boughs liken middle aged turtle dove, and- effectually warded ift his debigus. And presently he vjs borne down stairs iu the popular current to open some boxes of donations which bad just arrived by parcel delivery.

But tit illustration this of the futility of all human plans when he came rejoicings back some twenty minutes or so. later the sheet was gone. Goue, leaving no trace of vestige behind gone, utterly and entirely ! "I believe there has been some super-human agency at work," thought our bewilderfed hero, as he tumbled over the chaotic con tents on the table in vain. But Mr. Mott was wrong. The agency had been exceedingly hum:n uo other, in fact, than copia, pin-cushions, Kimmei's tnt 1,.,. i!edlf -books, lie -" j a pounced them ou ante, ana per- written on, he crumpled into an. old euvelope directed 4,MiH Or iuthia A.

"Some of tie girls '11 think they've got a lovt-lttter an 1 how mad tbejM be when they liud it ain't nothing but o.:e of Biutle's receipts or crochet pattern".' And aay replied Piaster Billy, little reckniug of the miaciiief be was unwittingly working to the cause cf true love. The evening ot the fair came r and the pretty rooms made still prettier by paper roses ana ever green garlands, were crowded with 'the brave, the r fair, and geme that wre neither one nor the other. Georgia Arlington, presiding at one of (ho fables, looked lovely enough to drive half a dozen youig men detract ed, instead cf -om ; and Mifs Orintba, in a rustling slate color ed silk dress, went ahont liko an autumn h-af iu a high wind. Toe luck-baj. circulated from band to hand, cairying, as is the woutot thtse institutions, a liit'e current of merriment and laugh ter iu its wake.' Georgia drew a cigar-case, Mr. Mott became the proprietor of a rag doll, aud Miss L)rinthi Bron drew a letter, addressed to herself. Gilbert Mott, leaning again9t tjho doorway, sa.v Miss Brown hurrying up to Georgia and dis- diviner her oriza with malicious lee, w hile Georgia colored and bit her lip, and ready to cry, and feigned a merry little ripple of laughter, all in one ad the same troatb. "Why' don't that horrid old maid keep away from Georgia Jxr'ington !" tbongbt ourdiscou fjected hero. "She looks like a dried -up bunch of rasins beside a cluster of blooming Isabella grapes. -: And washing his opportunity, he sliiped through the crowd and edged up to th8 table whtre Georgia was selling pin-cushions and tape at an exorbitant ; d tape at an exprbltanyprice. "Geofgiol" he whispered soiT ly, Georgia!" Bat she turned tier -head haughtily away, jpleaso to exuuse me, Mr. Mott," she said, cooly. ! While Gilbert was etaumg atj her iu amazement, a band was slipaed through his arm, and Miess Oriuthia Brown drew him gent!v away. "Where are you going!" he demanded lather unwillingly. j "Jut oul side the door, on minute," whispered Miss Orin tba, faltenugly". "It is not in the tumalt of a common crowd tuat such words should be spo ken." 'What words!" I haven't an idea of what you mean!" cried the young man. 1 ! Oorinthia drew him into' the ball,, her head dropped on his shoulder. "Yes," she falters, "yes H.ow could you for a moment dpubt it!" "Doubt what! Excuse me, Miss Brown, but I think your wits are forsabing you," said dilbert Mott; striving to free h 'mself from the damsel's grasp. ' Gilbert, would yon then be filse to me!" sobbed Oriuthia with the dawning eympton of hUteria. 1 1 i. 'I ! False to vou !" echoed ours hero. ''Miss Brown, will yon be so kind as to tell me at once, and plainly what ycu are talking aiout !" brinthia Brown's sallow cheeks reddened her eyes sparkled om iriouly, as she drew from her pocket the precious missive. j'-Do you mean to say, sir, that ytp didn't writee this letter V etje demanded. Gilbert took the letter and scro ti uzed it closely. i es, cf cource, I wrote the letter." "Then, dearest 4,S:op, ttongh,' he interraptd, fraaticelly. "It wasn't to yoa.,' Not to meT 'No. Doyou fnppose I want to marry you !" Miss Onnthia uttered a shrill shriek but the next moment she was alone. Gilbert Mott had vanished. For the matter was growing serious now. If Georgia were to be won, the must be won at once, before Fate conspired with another old maid to deprive him of her roveted love, j "Georgia," he said, planting himself besido her. "I have something I wish to say to yoo'Tliere, said Mr.. JorJau alter 'You hid a great deal better he had worked awhile, 'that la sy it to your belovtd Miss the way I waut work done lor Ooranthin,"said Georgia, tossiug this Government when I so order her flaxen curies. Bat she itn't my beloved Miss Orinihia," cried Gilbert. I "1 supposeyou will be denying your own handwriting next,' said Georgia, iudignantlyi 4But it's of no use ; I saw the fetter mysell." "But, Georgia, the, letter was written to yon." t : "Theu said Georgia, bright ening up a little, "how did she get it I" j "That's just what I can't com prehend myself,'' said ifilbert: 'but o"e thing I am very certain of I love you, and you! alone, and I won't leave you until you 'tell me whether my love ; is re turned." I . And he did' not ; neither was it necessary for him to stay there very long. V ButtC; thiaajrt Billy, the irrepressible, . knows exactly how Georgia's j lerter came into MissOrinthia Brown's hands. Washington Letter From our Regular CorreBponJtut Washington, 1). C, June 19. Interestiog local events have transpired in Washington during the week, but there is little to note of general interest except the official changes that are made daily in the Executive Depart ment?. The latest include several chiefs of important divisions oi the Treasury, and an Assistant Secretary ot the Interior. In this connection may be mentioned some important foreign appoint ments made yesterday by tbe President, among wion appears the name of Judge Stallo of Ohio, to be minister to Italy. The Pension office which was ulitized in its unfinished state for the Cleveland inaugural fes tivities, is now ready for occupa tion. Tbe work ot removal to it has been in progress for seve ral days, and will probably take two weeks more. The new build ing is in Judiciary square, near the City Hall, and is excellently constructed with regard to light and ventilation. It is made of pressed brick and has a frieze of cream colored terra cotta sculpt ure carried around its j entire perimeter at the level of the secood story. Tbe sculpture illustrates incidents ef soldier life in camp and Hie Id. The Navy's part in the operations, out of which the pension syaten. has grown, is indicated by bat rowed by sailors, all taking their appropriate places in this ecup tural procession. Tbe building it 400 feet long by 200 feet wide., IU perimeter is therefore l,20o feet, and that is the length of tbt I terra inee. Speaking of the good basinee record of the new AdminUtra tion, reminds me of a ncent ln cident'in the Government Print- ing Officn. The new.Iy appoint ed United States Treasurer had ordered a piece of work don9 ; within four hours. He was told by some -of his Burbordinntea that he had required an impos sibility. Treisrtr Jordan took ofl his coat, stationed .himself before cn unocenpied' case, and began to set type wih rapidity and accuracy while jtbe. clerka looked on with astoolsbmmt.- it. What I asked or you coma have been accomplished in fifteen miuntes, barring tbe necessary delays and red tape of this office. Hereafter,'r atd her "xhen I waut a thing done in a specified time, remember that ' I know what I am talking about" During, the late Presidential campaign one of the most fre quent arguments nsed in Wash ington agaiost the election of a Democratic Executive was that it would bav adiaaitrous effect ou business here, and causa, a rapid depreciation in real estate,. Alarmists predicted that what 1 styled small property hesso ranging in cost from thrco to vcr thousand dollars would b3 thro rrn on the market in eolid blocks, ca the ad vent of a Desccrst in cd minlstration, and ruieocs depres sion in Drlcca .tret! i-I-I! z i? i far from this being the case, it la found that bouses of every char acter find readyt and. profitable sale. One . of the newest projects contemplated is a grand hotel io tbe most fashionable quarter ot tbe ciry. the West Eud. There is an association of capitalists who are going to invest several millions in the enterprise. They propose that it shall cover aa en tire block, leaving an interior court large enough for cay kind ot entertainment.. There are fifty or sixfy wealthy families that come bare every w Liter, and take furnished houses because they' consider the hotel accommoda tions inadequate for peopTfi nsed to luxurious modes- of life and lavish entertaining.. It is foe them that tbe hotel is-projected, and it is to be constructed and managed in accordance with ideas that will secure their pat ronage. At the rooms of the Civil Ser vice Commission here, thirteen persons have been examined da ring the week for positions as postoffice inspectors. A com mit teo from tbe Postofflce De partment conducted tbe examin ation which was intended to have direct application to- the fitness of the candidates for the places to which they aspire. One re quirement was that they should writedown a personal descrip tion of some person. Dr. Grego ry, one Ot the civil servio com missi&aers, was selected as. the subject for description, aud he stood up some minutes before tbe class while it scrutinized closely beforo writing . the de scriptions. Since the organiza tion, about sixty per cent of those who pfesented themselves for civil service examination have passed. -Wrongs eh trenched in bad leg islation can never be converted iVafb vested rights.. 1
