There has been much improve r nient in the way of farming since the war. Potatoes were in blossom and the vines as green as ours in the month of Juue. In the afternoon the comrades made a trip to Mt. Vernon, the homo of Washington, which we have every ^reason to believe Is in the same con dition as when occupied by the lather of his country. In our opin ion every one that can should visit this historic place. We first visited ι the tomb of W ashington and his wife; their remains rest in separate marble caskets. We then visited the barn and coach house in which the coach in which Washington rode wan still housed. We then proceeded to th" Mansion House and had the _ asure of seeing Nellie Custis' room, the green room and the guests' i'oom, which were furnished with the eaime furniture as when occupied by Washington. Then we viewed the river room, the dining room where the table occupied the centre of the room; then the west parlor, in which there was a glass case con taining three pairs of slippers worn by Mrs. Washington, point lace, a worsted flower worked by her, her fan and many other relics of the age in which slie lived. vve men giancea ovev tne mueie room in which the quaint piano rest ed on which Mrs. Washington brought forth sweet music for the"! entertainment of her cuests in an cient days, and we also visited the Lafayette room. Last of all we vis ited the spinning house in which were stored the flax breaker, the hetchelling machine, the flax spin ning wheels, the reels for reeling the yarn, the large spinning wheels and the waving looai. .Thursday morning we visited the auk i η g building in the navy -«•fej-riiirrt.

Spécial to the EVENING NEWS. South Amboy, Oct. 7:—The reg ular meeting of Wm. S. True* Post, No. 1J8, 0. A. R., was held In the poet room yesterday afternoon and was quite interesting, as a number of the comrades related some of their experiences while attending the na tional reunion at Washington and other places. A circular- letter was read from Department Commander W. F. Wash ington in reference to the adoption of some new rules for the govern ment of the Soldiers' Home at Kearny in which he saye about one-third of the whole number of the Inmates of the home are hospital patients, men tally and physically unfit to handle money, whether it be derived from pension or otherwise. The balance are of three distinct classée, one of which needs no supervision of their money, another class devotes all or nearly all of their pension money to the support of dependants and therefore need no supervision. The other class are the unfortunates who art.· careless ami mostly sddli led to the use of stimulants or who from •>;her causes are unable to care for their personal belongings. As we understand the rules of the home the inmates are requlrôd place a certain portion of their pen sion money through the officiary of the home in some banking institu tion, but this must be voluntary ou the member's part and he is also re quired to make his will so that after his death It will not necessitate an investigation to find the legal heirs. The member himself holds his de posit book and at any time he re quires money for legitimate pur poses he. is at liberty through the quartermaster to jiave a check drawn for such amount as he may need within the amount of his deposit. While this is a free country and the sentiments of many are that a man can do as he pleases with his own money, there Is no doubt but tbe In auguration of those new rules will be of great benefit to a certain class if the old vets, who are living in the hou»* .
