mTrjji tii. i i i i WASHINGTON. in. 1 Knipp to recover $833, alleged to bare been an excess in thuaisoBBnientotbU property in Haleey street, for 1 1 1 mg 1 a Is I I I 1 1 i I and has beau gradually Improved and enlarged sinoe Its origins establishment by Cornell. WesdeU in 1881, at a ooat ot about $150,000, ontll tha property Is now valued at 13,000,000.

Prior to the appointment of Ur. Rounds the conduot the Qovarnmant printing office ia amenable to crltlolam of AUSBNOa OF DISCIPLINE, BULK AND BUSINESS OltDBB. No doubt whatever exlata aa to integrity or high honor of previous Incumbontt, but eaoh one, as ha assumed oontrol, no matter how earnest an adrocatu of reform, found himself narrowed, 'hedged and circumscribed by old methods, whloh were not improved nor advanced passu with tbe march of business interests and the progress of need and ideas. Like most establishments controlled by the Government, the ruts many and deep, and finding themselves unable to with so powerful a dlsadvantaRe.Mr. Rounds' pre dsosssors were not thorough masters ot the situation.

F.stimatea for engraving and lithographing are now called for before giving out this character of work and oontracts entered Into at stipulated prices, ao that, for first time In tho history ot the office, this class ot outside or export labor, now Involving considerable expense, Is controlled in prfco and lit cost fixed. Every piece of work ooming from tbe departments, requisition, la accompanied by a printed history, whloh shows its program by dates from the hour received until oompleted and delivered, together with its whloh ts ohargod up at onoe to the item of appro tion. In former times pay day was an era at demoralization and scramble. The employes of tbo document room aro now paid on the third working of each month; the job and press workmen the eighth and the folding room and printers on the thirteenth ot eaoh month. In lieu a rushing, puthlug crowd, as htretotore, the employees come to the cash room In relayt of 15, their names called and their mouey countod and paid, each identification of the foreman, wbostsndsat the cash counter.

Thus the pay days are divided Into three olasses, and the wages, whloh amount to $80,000 at time, and whloh is tht limit that Mr. Rounds can draw from the Treasury uuder his bond, are never In arrears, as tbe vouchers for eaoh payment constitute a credit with tha Treasury for tht amount shown to havo beon disbursed. The pay of employes is about $5,000 daily, or $400,000 per quarter. MX I 2fa OorrMjlondenfs thaxili not fsti dfsfippofnfti when their quutiont an not antwrtd imumdiatily, at th information tolicited rromntli require comrtdefdOts ttttarch, for mhO line muif lis csiloviecc. To the K.U'toi ot the B'ronMtH fiaylti Will you iloase inform we through' your valuable coluniua if there are any Quaker schools in Now York State, and' whore they are located, If any, aud how to address letter to tho same N.

f. There la a Quaker school in Schermerhorn street, near Uoerum place; oue in Rutherford plaee. New1 York, and one iu Lookport, N. Y. There avo also many others lu different parti ot the country, To tht Ktlitor of the Srookin Eaatit Pleasa answer in Sunday 'a Issue tUa follow ing and oblige.

Ia there a direct telegraph wire running from New York to Albany not oonnected with Intermediate battery liciio. Yes, there are many rtireot tolegraph wires between New York and Albany which are not oonneotod with any Intermediate battery. To tht Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: Hnving had a dispute in regard bs to how high a child's puliie can rise, will yon please inform mo In, 8unday'a KAatE the hlghet tho pulso of a ohlld tw years of age, confined with tho croup, oan attaint and oblige A Subxobibkb. The average rate of the pulse of a healthy ohlld of two years Is from 98 to 103. When the pulse exooa'dii 110, as it does In some febrile diseases, it la diffloult to count it eorrectly.

To tht Siilor of the Brooklyn Saglo: Will yon kindly inform me iu youv' Suhdat Eaqlk, who was tho" author of the lines (or any other particulars you can couvenioutly furnish roaardlng its origin) "'Tis dittauoe lends enchanttnout to the view."

Tho Bowoiy Theater otaga ia G8 foot wido and 90 feet doep that of the Graud Opora House, 7t) feet wide and feet doep, and that of the Academy of Muslo, 80 feat wide and 56 feet deep. These are the three largest, and ygu will perceive that the Bowery has tho largest stage tho city, the dimensions in square feet of tho three named being as follows: Bowery, Grand Opora House, 4,630, aud Aeadoniy of Mutio, 1,430.

the Kditor of tht Brooklyn Jiu.jlt Can you kindly inform rue iu the SutfDAt Eaolb why Jookeys Archer and MoLoughlln wore nicknamed tho "tin men" Spobtsmah. Aroher is known In England as "the Brass Han," hfloauso "hs always rides for the brass;" that is, yon can rely on his alwaye going to win, whioh is not tha cats with erory Jockey. Jimmy MoLougalin was, through a like compliment, niokuamed "tho Tin Man" he alwaya ridos for tha "tin," and your money ts safe when hs Is up. the Ktlitor of the Brooklyn Eagle: Will you ploase answer me the following questions iu your next Sunday's edition, or, if you caunot, pleass tell ino how I cau find out what I wu Was thoro evor a Uulied KUtos Senator from Mienlgan tho name of Oaneral Benjamin Boden 7 He was In the war ot 1SU A.

Thoro never has boen any United States Senator from Mtohlgan named Benjamiu Bodsu. There was a Ropra seutatiro iu Congress trom Pennsylvania, named Andrew Boden, who served as such from Deoomber 1, 1817, to March 3, 1821, lu the Fifteenth ana Sixteenth Congresses. He was born in Carlisle, Pa. Tollif. Jfdifor oiir Uaglc: Will you kindly inform me through your column of "Questions aud Answers," If thora is any significance to be attached to the fact that the motto yluribiiH ffnum" aontaina thirtoen Iattere, the same munbor aa that ot tho original coloniOB G.

Wabhinotoh. The faot that pluribut ffiium" contains thirteen ettora, the same number as tho original States of tho Uaion, Ib an accidental oiicumstanoe, the motto having been seleoced simply because of Its meaning, "Out many, ono." To the Editor of tht Brooklyn Ragtt Will you kindly tell me through your valua. Sunday morning paper, the origin aud moaning of the word Uialto or Ruatlu I dou't know the exact way is spelled, but it is prouniincod Realto. I think it Is some way couusctsd with theaters. BnooKi.Ttfrxtj.

Tha Riulto, as the context iu the Merchant of Vo nlca" sufficiently shows, was the Italian name given tho Venetians to tho market plaoo, or tho plaoa where merchants aud business mon met to transact their affairs, and answers to the Exchauge in thia country aud England, aud tho Bourse iu Paris, France, To the IMitor of the Brooklyn Oan you give mo tho authorship of tho song "See, the Couqiieriug Hero Como and tell use whether the author wroto the music which has prob made tho snug so popular oven ia a rapubiloaii liuuiiuuuitj nuicu urm iroui uero worsnip 7 Amtiquaht.

Lst, and published iu 1678. hut tha luosia by which the song Is now recognized was rvriftan in 3743 by Handel and introduced in tho oratorio of "Judas Maocabous." To the IMitor of the Brooklyn Eayle: Iu the back ot Webster's Dictionary (uu Bbiidiien), there Is a vocabulary of common 'Ungllah, Cbnwiau names, in which aro nlvon the pronunciation aud explanation of such names, thoir diminutives and their equivalents lu Latin, Spanish, Italian and other lauguaoiiB. Will yon kindly toll mo wholhor thoro in auy little book which contains tho same information about those nanins, and whoro such book oan bo found iKHUIllKtt.

Thoro aro many books on names and their significance In the Brooklyu Library. One of them is Moody's "What is Your Name 7" and there ars others that will doubtless give the information you seek. To Ihe Editor of tht Brooklyn Eayle In an article in a newspaper on (lio condition of Frauoe I noticed an allusion to "the man of December," but nothiug to explain too moanlug.

Tho othor was brought to this oountry and orooted In Central Park, New York, about a year ago, To the Editor of the Brooklyn Kagle Do you know who it was that said "New has been described by tho initial loiters of tha four polutB of tho compans Rradhb. This was said by the late Lord BeaeonsQeld In tha course of a spoeeh In the Houso of Commons on tha Newspaper Stamp Dutios bill.

He addod to what our eorrespoudout quoted "It (uaws) is the initial fetters of the four poiuts of tha oompasa, and it is to ba un dorstcod that uows Is That which somen from the norttj, ea.it, west and south, and if It comes from only oua point of the oompass, then it is a class publication not news."

Tbe I.angtry boom shows no signs of dimunition, Mr. Wilson, the treasurer of the Brooklyn, being ovor run with applications for places. Up to the present the sales foot up in the neighborhood of $15,000 for the week, leaving about one third of the house yet undisposed of.

Seats in tho upper tiors will be offorod lor tale on Monday. 1'AItK TBSATBR. As nlready anuouucei, the Yokes family will occupy the Park Thealor during the ooming week. No more gratifying announcement could be made preliminary to the holiday season than tho engagement of thoae dashing and clover exponents of comedy and burlesque. The Yokes need no Introduction to the Brooklyn public.

There are few ourreeident playgoers who aro not familiar with their fun making propensities and thair superlative excellence as artists. To announco their ooming, tberofore, la but to prefigure the volume of buBinesi which will be done at the Park Theater dur ing the period of their engagement. ''Ihe Belles of tho Kitchen" which has attained to an abldiug popularity, Is to bo presented on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdsy nights, this being the oast Lucinder Scrubbs. a lady's maid Miss Josaio Vokes Alary, a housomiiid Miss Victoria Yokes Barbara, a kitchen moid MiM Bossio Tlmotheus Gibbs. a doctor's assistant Mr.

trod Vokcs Wlgeins, a harber Mr. Kowdon Vokes It is unnecessary to describe this amusing comedietta, which will bo preceded by the ohsrming comedy of "Our Country CouBln." On Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights aud at the Saturday matinee Fun in a Fog," which Is pleasantly remembered for its comical and amusing situations, ia to be played, togother with the laughable farce of "Naval Engagements." As the Vokes will not appear on Wednesday afternoon, Colonel Sinn has arranged a treat for his patrons in the shape of the presentation of "Our Goblins" by the Mitchell Pleasure Party. Anything brighter or moire sparkling than this musical absurdity it would be diffloult aglno. The opportunity afforded by the interpolation, If such It may be named, for eontraatiog the American comedians with tbo English will doubtless bo largely availsd of. It is statod that the Yokes will introduce entirely new music in their forthcoming engagement.

QUAKD OVER A BOUSE. No form of entertainment has attained greater popularity than that of Ethiopian ml natrolsy. Tho era of burnt cork haa seemingly passed, and the public demands the actual article pure and simple. This is supplied by the Oallender Colored Consolidated Minstrels who are booked to appear at the Grand Opera House to morrow night aud throughout tho nreeent week. The enterprise of the Mossrs.

Frohman lias resulted In tho consolidation of Haveriy's iMiro poan and the well kuown Callender MluBtrels. Tho troupe ia composed entirely of Afrioane, native or American born, and in its organization and membership is 8ui gaunt. To recommend its performance to the amusement seekers of.Brooklyn Is a work of supererogation. Kb membership ia made up of acknowledged artists, of whom the principal may bo uamod as Billy Kersands, the "black Hilly Emerson;" Billy Banks, the "blaok Nelse Seymour;" James Grace, tho "blaek Billy Rice C. Wright Harris, the "blaok Ole Bull," and Wallace Rice, the "blaok Campaninl." Other members of the troupe are Wallaoe King, Lewis Brown, Dick Little, Bob Maok, Virginia Armstrong and Johnnie Woodson.

The range of minstrelsy and the domain of operatic representation is exhausted in tbe performance of the Oallenders. The company comprises, in addition to a complete oorpa of vocalists, a brass band, an orohestra and a drum corps. Whit mora could be asked lor no patrons of Ihe Grsnd Opera House are assured of an entertainment this week auffiolently diversified to suit all tastes. Tho Colleudera are likely to duplicate hero the success which ha3 heretofore attended their efforts before the crowned heads of Europe and the most exacting audiences of America, It will iDtorest tho patrons of this popular play houso to know that a grand production of "Enoch Arden" Is in preparation for Christmas week, in which Mr. Bdwin Snowies will sustain tho principal part.

HYDE ISEHSIAX'R TUEATElt. Tbe engagement by Messrs. Hyde Beh man of tho wonderful athletes, Hestor and Venon, Ib a eirourostance iu the variety busloojs wijloh oslls for more than' ordinary comment. Tbo Adams Btreet theater Is likely to become the oenter of attraction to playgoers throughout the ooming week, if oouourront report speaks oorrectly, the gymnasts named being among the most remarkable of their class. A triple somersault is promised to be thrown by Nestor, from the ton of the theater into a net held suspended from the stage.

In addition to these artlBts Mossrs, Uvdo Behman announce the engagement of Miss Liziie rilmms, transforation dancer; Mr. Qeome H. Wood. Ethiopian eomlque the Misses Georgle and Lizzie Parker, song aud daneo artistes Sweeney and Rylaud, Irish eocentrlo comedians; Mr. Bernard Sloman, the man bird MIbb Lizzie Conway soubrette and vocalist Dan Collyer, white and blaek face comedian John Robinson, oonvoraatlonallat aud character actor Louis B.

Carr, Bam Rbinehart and OibbonoiBe. horizontal bar performers Frank and Lillian White, sketch artists Harry and John Keraell, Irish comedians, and Charles r. Ellis and Clara Moore, Bkoton artistes, the entertainment concluding with the laughable dlaleot eomedy entitled "Wrlnklet." It has beoome quite tho fashion among resident playgoers to take a box at the Adams street theater during the week, following after the pattern eat at the Theater Oomlque. Matlneet will be given on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons. NOVELTY THE A TEH.

The debut of Miss Margaret Mather, which takeB place ot the Novelty Theater to morrow evening, le a dramatlo event of positive interest Miss Mather has within the past few months shot athwart the dramatic horizon as a star of the first magnitude. It is claimed for her, and it must be admitted with good show of reason, that she is the legitimate sucoessor ol tho lamented Keilson, and unless the volume of criticism is and emphatically misplaced, the mantle of tbe Queen of Tragedy has descended upon her shoulders. Mies Mather is to be seen during the coming week at the Kovolty on Monday and Tuesday oveulngs and at the Saturday matinee as Juliet, in Shakespeare's romantic tragedy of Romeo and Juliet on Wednesday and Saturday evenings as Rosn Unci, ia "As Yon Like It;" on Wednesday evening aa routine, in "Tha Lady of Lyons," and on Thursday evening in the title rott of ilLeah, tho Forsaken." This is a rrjierfoi're calculated to demonstrate her abilities, and to prove her claim to the commanding position whloh has been assigned her. misb Mather will be supported othe oooasiona named by Mr. Milnes Levisk, Sir.

Alexander Salvinl, son of the great tragedian of that name, Mr. William Davidge, pr.re, and Mrs. Carrie Jamleson. These names are a sufficient guarantee of the excellence of the performance, and tho patrons ot the Kovolty Theater, as well as playgoers generally, may therefore rest confident of a presentation ot the plays named whloh will meet, If indeed it does not far exceed, their most tin gulce expectations, STANDARD 3IU8BU3I. The managers of the Standard Museum, a resort which in rapidly growing in popularity, have made very elaborate preparations lot the opening of a baby show, Messrs.

HoituoB Bobbins have set about the work incidental to suou an enterprise with boir ciiBtomary energy and shrewdness. They believe no half wy measures. This particular baby sho to be a display of juveniles upon no ordinary scale. If the announcement of tbe managers it to be relied upon hablce of all varieties are to be on exhibition. Those who have utver had any official con.

neetion with a bnby show can have but a faint Idea of the labor which is Involved la bringing loving mothers to the point of making a public spectacle ot their little ones, but Holmes Robblue are not easily daunted, and no visitor to the museum Is likely to be disappointed, $lere will be mothers there whose (am ling of of by tor of at A Characteristics of Congress and Congressmen. How Members Lire and Row They Spend Thl Time Scenes la the Corridors of the Hotels. Great Positions Ooenpled by Coinparaf Small Hen Colonel Tom OoliUtrfte and his Constituency in tJie Lone Star State A Visit tho Oorernnient Printing Oflice What is to be Seen There The Society Season and by What it Will be Characterized, Special Correspondence of the Eagle. Vasuihoton, December IS, Congress will adjourn this week for the Gurlstmaa holidays. Most of Hie members villi leave oity and, on ratnrnlne, will bring with them their wives and families, a plan which is not nonerally carried Into offeottnDtil tbe real work of the cession begins.

And this suggests tho query as to how members Congress live There may be soine who ohorlsb. Idea that the vast majority occupy magnlQoont residences or havo suites ot rooms at tho hotols, and that or tbe glitter and dash ot Washington life center certain circles in which Congressmen are the most conspicuous. Not at ttl. Bt fit tho (treater number members ot Congress live lu boardinghousas and just as much at the mercy of tha presiding ganiua tha establishment at tho most ltuiguluosiit Individuals who thara the suns quarters with them. It is truo there are a favored tew who have their own honsea to live In, Robeson, for inetanoe, whose fortune, notwithstanding the pillage with which is charged, is estimated to be UtU more than two hundred and.

fifty thousand dollars. But Robeson it exception. The salary of a Congressman, which It five thousand dollars, is, In most Inatauoes, supposed to but a trifle in income, this as it may, II is vory oeriala that the general idea which prevails that members, tor tha moat part, live in great style, is erroneous, and founded on nothing but tho idlest of fancies. The Congressmen who oome to Washington to Bavo money, far in access of those who oome to spend It. The proportion of those owning houses in town la not aa one to forty the reit rent them, occupy rooms in boarding houses or live at the hotels.

F.von in the privacy of their own apartments men bora have peaoe in the sense that they are not free from the assaults of those who are continually asking favors at their hands. If it is sure that a man'a importauee iu the world oan be guaged by bis ability to bestow fa vors, or rather what is thought to be his ability in thia direction, a Congressman mutt stand very high on the ladder of fame. For seven days in tha week ho it at the inersy of a rabble of cormorants who have soma particular matter to urge upon his attention, and who, not content to confine, themselves to decent hours, clatter his door at midnight, and li necessary, would lift him out of bed to gain the point at heart. This ma; be the principle that there is no rest for the wioked, but at all events it is oortain that from early in the morning until far into the night members are seldom free from the annoyance of those who think they have a claim to consideration. It ia true that there Ib a great deal of dissipation in Washington, but it is not true that those most given to indulge take unnecessary paius to flaunt it before the publio.

I am speaking now solely as applying to official life. However strong the undercurrent may be, the surfaoe Is geuerally smooth. Cairns said that he entertained a very high opinion of the American people UNTIL HE (JAMB TO WASHINGTON and saw the leaders, when hit former ideas vanlahad and gave way to others by no means so pleasant. He formed this opinion on the assumption that tbe men in Congress wero distinctively representative of the peo ple, and so they are. Glancing along tho rows in the House of Representatives, it will be found that all elements of the community are typified and that the backwoodsman in the West hat a Congressman as oloaely allied to him as the opulent banker or merohant in the Eat.

Mot only grade of intellect and moral attribute of character, but the manners and customs ot the people of a particular section are reflected In each row over which the eye is passed, and this is the more marked the closer it is noticed. True, it is surprising to note the very small caliber of some of the men who sit In Congress, and it may be humiliating to think that such men haro been doomed worthy of saeh exalted position, but it this same truism which reHeota the spirit of th people, and is, therefore, characteristic ot the people themselves. Congrtss meets at twelve o'clock and very few of the members are in their seats before that time. How do thoy spend their lime? From twelve until four or five in tha afternoon they aro at the Capitol, and in the evening, unless fulfilling obligations due to aoolotv, are In their homes or around the corridors of the hotols. No better entertainment oould ba desired than to stand in the corridor of Willard's about ten in tho evening, and note tho characteristics of some of tha statesmen who duster urouud the big uiarblo pillars.

Senators, Congressmen, department clorks, lobbyists and politicians without unmoor, ore to be seen in tha mot ley crowd. In Uttlo groups they aro dismissing questions, nearly all of which perlains to tho Government in some of Ha varlod ramifications. Looking at them, the thought ooours, however big may bo tho opinion entertained of a Senator or Congressman by those at home, the ohanoeB are that it will dwindle down In a vory material degree when brought into contatt, or olose beneath the range of vision. Yes," said a friend to night, "that is a United States Senator. You sse ha is not above patronising the hotel bar," and, so saying, pointed to the towering figure ot Florida's clioloest offering.

The fact cannot be denied that very small men occupy vory big positions. Since Oonkling wont out of ill Senate, no one has arisen to take his placo, and when Shermau. Bayard and three or four other notablo exceptions are made, the rest are aa pigmies unto giants, Tate Warner Miller, for instanoo. He represents the greatest State in tho Union, and cannot msaeja speech without committing not only grammatical mistakes, but inletake whloh shows his lgnor ance of tho words bo used. That A VAST OPPOETTJNITT THROWN AWAY Here is a position which to many men would be far preferablo to any other under the Government, and in which there is opportunity for making a uatifo such as has boen made by no man in comparatively reoent years.

Lapham is no bettor. So it is with the majority of tho others. After the Florida statoanian had temporarily disappeared from the hotel cor rlder another charaotor equally distinguished In a different lino took his plnoc. It was Tom Ochiltree. It Ib said that he can toll a story better than any other man iu America, and at tho eame time infuse into It more of the essence of truth.

Tho man has not yet breathed who le not willing to vouch for story whieh Ochiltree tells, however wonderful and amazing It may bo. lie ia a produot of the Texas prairie, and has recently Jbsen eleoted to Connrass. A compact, well built Uttlo man with flaming red hair, a fiery moustacho and a twlat in his eye, he has been around Washington for twenty years, and has never failed to sustain the reputation which he boars, as tho greatest parverter of the truth which the world has ovor seen. This, of course, applies only to his stories, for on a question of business tho word of Tom Ochiltree is about as good as that of any other man In town. Ho will talk about horses for hours at a time, aud among his other various pursuits wrltea sparling articles for tho press.

Now that ho has boon elected to Congress It will be noccssary to find someone to tako his placo in theyarn spinning line, for it would be inconsistent to ba a good story tellor and a Member of Congress at the samo time, Ochiltree is popular on his native heath, aud will niako an Idea! representative of Texas, for, with whatever intelligence he has, he combines the genuine rollicking spirit ot the great Southwest. Cougrcssuiuu, when first elected, come to Washington with th idea that the world reYolveB around them, and that all they have to do is to tay the word in order to revolutionize the universe. This doe not last long, however, for there is no placo In the country where a man will find his level quicker than ho wilt here. Whatever luster may surround a gentleman in his own dlstriot he Is apt to ascertain only too quickly, that there are those about him beside whom ho fadea into utter insignificance, and however thick his skull, this fact will be mado to penetrate It in very short order. It is comparatively easy to plak them out.

Those who have beeu hero the longest are generally tho moat unassuming and unpretentious: The glosa has worn away; the raw material remains. Look at Bloinel Whtn he first came to Congress he was as haughty and imperious as any of the flodgellnge about him, but the longer he remained in publio life tha lass apparent this disposition came to be. I saw him on the street oor ner to day, talking to a man whose eoat was torn and whose general appearanee seemed to indicate that tha world had not treated him kindly. But this faot did not bother Mr. Blaine at all.

Speaker of the House, United States Senator and Socretary ol State, it cannot bo said that tho honors which have boen heaped upon him havo made him think much moro of himself. Certain It is they have not altered his disposition ana bearing In tho way which would be an tlolpated there Is not tho assumption about him that there was when ho flrat eame to Washington, and he ta all the better for It, THE GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFIOB. Very little Is known, except in a general way, about the importance and immense operations of the Government printing office. It Is the largest publishing houae in the world, and has grown from small beginnings until, with the wonderful advance in the art of printing, it haB beoome tho most perf6ot and complete establishment of its kind in every possible detail and Hem of management. It Ib, of course, within the memory of many now living, when the old Hamago presa with "devil" and iMnnVie norformel the printer's office.

Then came the Improvement of the Washington hand which was followed by the power press, first introduood into this oonntry by Major Mordocal M. Noah and used in printing the edition of tbe York AiMimio Star In the days of the "sixpenny Dross," some whore about IB'15. People flocked from far and wide to witness the operation of thit press, turned by hand, which per formed the marvelous office of printing something lens than 1,000 copies an hour. In the pa8t forty years, and in response to the demands of the reading public, invention has produced aud reproduced, until now we boast printing presses which print, fold, cut, oount and deliver from 85,000 to 40,000 shoets por hour. Printing boeauie a noeesslty with the first organization of the Government and up to 1819 the publio printing wbb done by eontrsoc.

In 1827 the hlstorio firm of Gales Ji Soaton were printers for tho House, and General Duff Green printed for tho Senate. These gentlemen wero followed by Blair Rives, nomas Allen, Ritchie Heiss, Wendell Van Benthuysen, Boyd' Hamilton, Ooneral Robert Armstrong, Beverly Tuoker, A. O. P. Nloholson and Cornelius Wendoll, all names wbioh will be recognized as largely connected with the history of tho Natioual Government aud distinguished In the politics of the country.

The Government Printing Ofilco la a great Institution and well worthy of a visit. THE SOOrETS SEASON. vThe society season will not begin iu earnest until after tbe Christmas holidays.

Rules laid down as to who ehall taBO precedenoo at official receptions, and as to who shall call first and who shall call last.

Rigid forms of etiquette are prescribed aa to how to address a minister and how to addross his wife, and throughout the whole labyrinth of society there aro many various entanglements that it would take good deal of application to matter them all. The army aud navy are the dominating faotorB, and seem control sooiety as much aa they ploase, for the en obantment of gilt lace and brass buttons is at all times supreme. Every Sunday the loot! papers teein with paragraphs about "the beautiful Miss" Gwyun or whatever may ba under discussion at the time, and dovote columns to a description of a dress or tho texture of a pioce of lace. If it is not "the gallant Colonel Blank" it is "the handsome Major" someone else, and so on through a variety of similar rubbish which may possibly pleuss those to whom it is applied and which oortainly meets the demand of the hour. The only retoption of any significance thus far given was that of General Sherman some weeks ago, tho other celebrities holding back with tho Idea that whou they do make a display it will bo all the more daizliug and brilliant.

Speaker Keifer will give bis opening reception during tho first week in Jnuuary, and the indications aro that it will bo an exceedingly pleasant aud successful evont. Hou. Llousll Sackville West, tho British Minister, assisted by his most esti ablo daughter, will entertain freely this Winter, as will also the other ministers and ambassadors, Generally speaking, the season, although brief, promises to bs un usually bright and pleasaut, aud Its formal oponlug is awaited in society circles with a good deal of expectancy.

St. John gave up his business Mr. Roynolds became a principal In the establishment, and continued in the same business, which was chiefly in sallorB' elothlng, until mme to Rrooklvn. His last placo ot New York waB In South street, directly in front of Tulton Ferry. Hla first purchase of real estate in Brooklyn was in Cranberry street, where ho built three houses, in one of whion ho resided for many years.

Tho premises extended behind a part of the burial grouna anu uruuKu tn Wuthiaelon street, next north of tho Metho dlst Church.

Thurday of November. 1j. Thanksgiving day is a legacy from the Puritans of New England. Iu colonial times tho Assemblies ap pointed tbe day for its observance, and subsequently tho Governors of Ihe sovoral States. Tho time fixed was generally toward the oud of Novembor, but it waa not always or iu all the States tha earns.

From 1820 to 1H95, It was au oarly day In Doceuibor, In this Stata; but since tho festival was made general, tha President of the Ultitod atatos has fixed tho day gausrally the last Thursday in November, and tho Governors of tho several States have Issuod their proclamations In aooord. ante with his suggestion. To th'. Editor of the Brooklyn Eajle It in understood that the days of the week, most of tbem, at least, derive their natuoe through our Saxon or Northmen ancestors frohi the goda of thoir mythology, ond I have seen It stated that Saturday Is no exception, though some cyoloidlaa and dto Sonaries say It is derived from Saturn tho Latin QoH.
