(From our regular correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, J), June 1. 1878.
The 30th of May, which was for
merly designated oy the (xrand Ar
my of the Republic as a day upon
which it .should do honor tothejTall
en comrades which lay buried in the
various cemeteries, has become a
general holiday, and its observance
jhere was almost complete. Arling
ton, Soldiers Home, Congressional,
Oak Hill and other cemeteries where
the "heroic dead" slumber were
naturally the centres of attraction.
All (government work was suspend
ed and many business houses allowed
half their ep^ployees a day's recrea
tion or closed up entirely.
President Hayes, part of his Cabi
net and a number of Senators and
Representatives left Washington last
Wednesday for Gettysburg. For the
first time, therefore, in the history
of this country since the rebellion,
Arlington and its ceremonies were
neglected by the President of the
United States Heretofore the people
have-thronged to the nearest eeme^j
tery where so much naoaeyhad been'
lavishly spent in heautifiying and
otherwise increasing the natural
attractions of the former house of
Curtis and of Lee, in order to see
their Chief Magistrate. Ifow, tjjis
pleasure has been denied them and
,an old and valued custom has
been lightly set at naught by one
who is fast losing the popularity his
liberal policy at first obtained for
him.
The example thus set by our rulers
was followed by a large portion of
the populace, as fewer people than
usual walked &n# rode from every di
rection, and in all conceivable
vehicles to witness the proceedings
#t the "National Cemetry."
What a world of memories the
very nameArlingtonf&eafis to
every niind. Each grave, each natur
al terrace, each grassy mead has its
own story to tell. The extended view
of marble headstones, the long aven
lies of graves, over which a Iree
and united country's flag proudly
waves, breathe a history and noise
lessly repeat a heroic struggle. Tbg
broad and often travelled roads, the
hills and dales have so much to say
and are so inviting to the weary
visitor that one might dwell on other
features of this lovely and silent
'city of the death'' than those which
summoned the erowd thither or
Saturday.
The Potter Investigating Commit
tee were in session an ho&r thte
morning and adjourned hold a sec
ond meeting at 2:30 this afternoon.
T.he time of the morning session was
^aken up on a motion to re-consider
t'le vote whereby the committee de
cided to conduct the investigation
with closed doors. No conclusion
was reached, but the debate indicat
edthata majority of the members
were in favor of open sessions, and
that the doors wi!l be pen to news
paper correspondents as soon as wit
nesses are to be examined. Thw will
probably be at the afternoon session,
when it is believed James E. Ander
son, the supervisor of West Felici
ana (La.) parish, will be placed on
the witness stand. Anderson arived
1 er fcader a subpoena this morning.
It is expected that the sub-committee
which, is ts'gfl to Florida will get
away to-morrow night, as McLin's
condition is such that if his testimo
ny.is hot soon taken hie will not be
jii the land of the living, and there
fore well but of the reach of a Con
gressional-summons. The sub-com
mittee to investigate the alleged
I ouisiana frauds will not leave before
vhe middle of next week. The House
Ijhis morning passed the bill appro
priating $20,000 for the expense of
%e committee. After the Senate!
passes it, the bill will have to go to
the President for signature, and if he
signs it he will .be aiding what is
called a revolutionary committee
With inohey to conduct its opera
tions,
The telephone and phonograph
re already old stories in the rush of
announcements of wonderful inven
tions. Our public buildings are fur
nished with telephones and the
squeak of the ^phonograph is heard
through the lanj But new marvels
keep the public hi $ state of wonder.
The aerophone, a sort of articulating
calliope, a truly"fiendish invention,
the auragraph, which transmits all
the sounds in a room, with increased
distinctness, to an adjoining apart-
.dtl&vtl &ff*$
i ^^^Ww^^-w^^^^ltoy*^
which in conjunction with the tele
phone, renders sounds greatly mag
nificent at long distances, Jiave suc
cessfully attracted attention. For
the last named invention application
foy Patent is now pending in the
Patent Office, but the lucky invent
or this time is an Englishman. It
increases the capacity of the ,ear in
the same way that the telescope does
that of the eye. It was discovered
that vibrations of sound are repro
duced with the greatest delicacy and
with increased force when pieces of
charcoal, previously heated to white
ness and plunged into a mercury
bath, are interposed, closely pressed
together, in an electric circuit.
Sounds scarcely audible may be re
produced with' any degree of loudness
at long distances. It is claimed that
the footsteps of a housefly may be
heard as far as a telephone wire
stretches* The development of these
various inventions, and their combi
nations with one another will un
doubtedly result in the construction
of instruments of great practical u
tility, as well as satisfy from time to
time the public graving for some
thing novel and wonderral.
Senator and Mrs. J. Donald Came
ron arrived in the city last Sunday.
The Senator brought a fair young
bride to his residense on I street.
This old mansion has ever had a
charming young hostess. When
Senator Frelinghuysen, was in the
Senate, owing to their mother being
an invalid, the Misses Frelinghuysen
did the honors of the house. Each
daughter, in turn, took charge for a
week and their lunches, receptions,
and jparties are yet remembered as
models of graceful, generous hospi
tality. To the delicious marvels in
cookery that were prepared under
the direction of these young ladies
may be attributed the organization
of that pet society. *'The belles of
the kitcnen," that numbers among
its members the belles par excellence
of society in the First word. After
the Misses Frelinghuysen came Miss
Cameron, the daughter of the Sena
tor, who presided with queenly grace
and dignity Over her father's house
hold, and now comes the fair young
wife to grace the lunches, dinners,
and receptions of the Senator from
Pennsylvania.
The session of the Cabinet at the
meeting yesterday was very brief.
Assistant Secretary Seward repre
sented the State Department, in the
absence of Secretary Evarts. No
business of public inierest was trans
acted, but a fe minor appoint
ments were determined on and the
names sent to the Senate Posk
master-General Key was congratu
lated by all the members upon his
letter to the public endorsing the ad*
ministration of which he is a mem
ber, and pronounced good by all.
EDWARD.
The Growing Wheat Crop*
Eli Perkins writing from Fair
mont, Neb., says
I have thought and written all
along, before examening Iowa, Min
nesota^and Nebraska critically, that
the wheat crop would be one third
larger this year than ever before, but
every day I am more and more as
tounded at ihe" immensity of the
growing crbpi To-dayand I have
seen personally as much of the grow
ing-crop as any one person in the
United Statesto-day, I say, I will
stake my journalistic reputation that
there is 60 per cent more wheat grow
ing in the United States than ever be
fore*
I find that some winter wheat in
Southern Illinois, Indiana, and Ken
tucky is a little damaged by rust,
and a few fields will be completely
destroyed, but I have laot seen a dam
aged piece of wheat in Northern Illi
nois,in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa,
or Nebraska. An immense wheat
crop is growing this spring in West
ern Nebraska and in Dakota on lands
never before plowed."
As to the effect this immense
wheat crop will have upon the
markets of. the world, Mr, Perkins
says:
"Whea will go down to 50 cents
in Iowa, to 65 in Chicago, to 80 in
New York, and to 90 in Liverpool.
War will add 20 cents to these fig
ures, but with peace miy prophecy
will prove true. Let the Chicago
grain man remember.'the figures.
Why, when we deliver wheat for
less than $1.00 in Liverpool it will
cripple.the Russian wheat-growers,
who. cannot compete with us. The
bulk of our wheat is raised on land
worth less than $12.00 an acre, and
much on land worth less than $5.00
per acre. How can the English,
Irish, Scotch, Hungarian and Rus
sian farmers compete with us when
his lands are worth from $100 to
MOO pervacr'e?."

^Twenty minutes for dinner,",
shouted the brakeman, as we ap
proached Lathrop.?Jk
Arrived there,I.eiier,ed $& dining
room and inquired of tfie waiter.
"What do you have for dinger?"
"Twenty minutes" was the hur
ried reply.
I told him I would try a half a
dozen minutes raw on the half shell,
just to see how they went. Told him
to take a minute of it on his books.
He scratched his head, trying to com
prehend the order but gave it up,
and waited upon some one else.
I approached a man who stood
near the door with a lot of silver in
his hand: ""What do you have for
dinner?"
"Half a dollar," says he.
I told him I would take half a
dollar well done. I asked him if he
couldn't give me, in addition, a
boiled pocket-book stuffed with
greenbacks, and some seven thirties
garnished with pesstage stamps and
ten eent scrip also a Confederate
bond, done brown, with lettuce
alone. And I would like to wash
my dinner down with national bank
notes on "draft."
He said they were out of every
thing but the banknotes, and that
as soon as the train left he would
order thewaiter to "draw some.

flew the track and called out:
"Well, I've got the best sister,
anyhow!"
"Iguess not," replied the other.
"Yes, I have!"
I guess not, I've got the bossest

any day for let me we&r her shoes to

"My sister will do more than
that!" put in the little one, "She'll
take the string out-of her corset for
me to spin my top with, and if I lose
it she'll stay home from a party and
never give me a word of sass! is your
sister any bosser than that?"

IBERIA, Juiie 7th, 1878.
Editor Review:
There is considerable excitement- over Josiah's
communications from Iberia.Some suppose him
to be of the clerical order, and you can't beat them
out of that idea, A man among us got so mad
that he gave ex-pjfession to his pent-iip wrath in
language whicfafcnpljed that if he were a grand In
quisitbr, .Josiah would be inevitably burned. Some
$ire scared at st&eir shadow and make fools of
ihemfeeives. ffhey think, they see a nigger in the
fence and can swear that it is a nigger, when, on
Closer inspection, conclude that it was a charred
stump. One divine is so positive that Josiah wears
the white neck tie that he makes no bones in telling
St: What.a knowing man! How fortunate to be
possessed of such sagacity! This last named gentle
man and a few of his sympathizers have pronounced
sentence against our valued correspondent, and if
he is ever taken, they will compel him to abjure
his errors in the most solemn manner, or be burned
at the stake. Josiah, you stand impeached by your
accusers. You are branded as a heretic, and must
keep dark until a more tolerant spirit prevails.
My opinion is Josiah must be omnipresent. He
knows all that is transpiring among us. He has
told us nothing but the truth. That is the reason
why our people feel his thrusts so keenly. They
are well aware what he says contains more truth
than poetry. Being a resident of Iberia, I can tes^
tify that Josiah has not exaggerated a bit. And the
more I think the matter over the more I am cou^.
vinced that Josiah is not only omnipresent, but an
actual being among us, however inclined welldis
posed persons may be to think otherwise. lam
surprised that any intelligent individual should de,
nounce and excoriate a person with such infinite
relish, on mere snrmize or conjecture. It is thg
way, however, that not a few people have of doing
thingsalways basing their conclrfons on mere
hypothesis. The warp ad woof of their dispbsii
tion is constructed of jealousy and prejudice, and
though one may sterraousiy assert his innocence
and demonstrate it beyond cbritradiction, it were
the height of folly to trjr to beat any knowledge in
to such people's heads.
If communities do not want their acts ventilated,
let (them behave themselves. I do not blame JosU
ah for telling what he did. He has thrown a little
light upon some things, and it this light that drives
people mad. The parties see their deformity re
fleeted in its glare, and revolt at the portraiture.
I would add my deiiunication against the con
duct of the party or pal-ties who had a hand in the
breaking up of the Sunday School at Albion: It was
no credit, but a burning shame to the ones who
participated is its destruction. This talk about
Union is all bbsji: In the sense in which "these self
styled liberalises teach the idea, it is a caricature on
Christian principle. "By their fruits ye shall know
them.*' Now, be careful, my dear constituency,
how you report to your next door neighbor that
I am a minister. This is a peevish remark but
people will talk.
A game of base ball was played between Golden
Gate and Iberia. We do not think that Golden
Gate received that ftouitesy that should have been
extended to her.
Clnbs are too eager to win, and their ambition, in
this direction, sometimes overleaps itself. When
it does, a factional jealousy is created which runs
high, and generates a good deal of unpleasantness.
Unless the players can hold tlieir temper, and prac
tice that graceful dip called courtesy, a victory is
unquestionaHy a defeat.
Iberia will yet emerge from her sectional strifes,
her fermentation purifying her from all unhealthi
ness, and take high stand in the scale of being.
A broader and eaore catholic spirit will prevail, her
old fogies lafd on the shelf, her teachers willing to
live and let liye, her girls getting married, and the
millennium come. UNION.
