WABnrm»TON/ January 28.

A change of the management of Providence Hospital is creating some stir, and an alteration will probably be made.

The Post Office Appropriation bill is the next to be taken up in the House. Blackburn says it will be disposed of during the week.

The remains of Mr. Kelly, a member of the Ohio Editorial Excursion, are to be taken to Lima. The death of this popular gentleman has east a gloom over the entire party.

It is reported that Judge Key, of Tennessee, will possibly be elected to the Senate and thus break what threatens to be a dead lock. His friends say he will probably not accept.

The President is anxious to have the Ambrose case prosecuted4with vigor, as it is about the plainest case of official corruption brought to light during the present administration.

Qai field's friends say that at last one southern man will have the garlands of a cabinet position placed upon him, and Judge John Baxter is the man most prominently mentioned, although many names have been suggested to the General.

Cameron says that he probably will not start on his Southern trip until after the Pennsylvania Sensorial election. He proposes to visit the southern states, Cuba, and Port au Prince, The idea that he is to build up a Garfield administration party in the South is denied.

Mr. Bicknell will make another effort t'j's week to bring the Houso to the consideration of the Joint Rule for the counting of Electoral votes. If the Republicans resist action upon it as before, a good many of the Democrats are in favor of "sittiing it out" and making it a question of physical endurance. They belief® it to be a matter of sufficient importance to resort to that parliamentary device.

Kx-MecretAry Tliomp-«nn on the Monroe Doerrlne. WASHINGTON, January 28.—Ex-Secie-Ury Thompson, in conversation, to day, said tbat he would conclude his argument before the House foreign affairs commit tee,-on the subject of the interoceanic canals, next Tuesday. His closing argu ment will be devoted to the consideration of the Panama route as it relates to the Monroe doctrine. The ex-Secrtary of the Navy will, in his closing argument, start out fundamentally upon the basis, as announced in the doctrine, that the independence of the Central and Southern American 8tates is what the United States shall contend for, and that no foreign power shall interfere in the affairs of those States, but their independence from such influences shall be maintained. Col. Thompson will then proceed to demonstrate that the Panama grant to De Lesseps and company is in complete accord with the Monroe doctrine.. The Panama company has no French or other European charter. It is simply a body of capitalists, irrespective of nationality, who purposes to build a canal. The only charter or officially recognition they have is that of the Panama government.- That charter passed the Panama Congress with out any opposition. Such action shows that the grant made was of the free will of the people of the State. As such it must be representative of the independence of the State, and is therefore in perfect accord with the Monroe doctrine. The arfcumefit thus outlined which Colonel Thompson will make is a new point in the consideration of the interoceanic canal question as applied to the Monroe doctrine.

Recent Appointments by the President. WASHINGTON, January 28.—Recent appointments made by the President have been highly dissatisfactory to the mem bers of Congress who have opposed him during his incumbency. These appointments are made in utter opposition to the wish of anti Hayes senators and representatives. They also find that thoir influence in the different departments does not amount to anything at all. In consequence they are forced to the apparent conclusion that the President is making removals and appointments influenced by a desire to get even with his opponents within the party during the short remainder of his term. That such is the cate there arc daily evidences.

NASHVILLE, Temi., Jan. 20 1881.

fitWith the pool, I can exclaim, that "Distance lends enchantment to the view" of this "Sunny SoutL'' I have not seen one ray of sunshine for two weeks. It has rained most every day. The streets are like morter beds, the pedestrians, mud hoppers, J'linside the Nicholson House, however, wl is warmth and cheer, and eveiy home comfort surrounds you in pleasing contest to the outside gloom.

The State House is a flne building, situated on a beautifully graded and ornamented hill, with shrubery and statuary, Gen. Jackson on horseback, beirfg the principle object. •^The House and Senate are wrangleing, cyer the election, of United States Senator. The Republicans are harmonious and conceeded to have the inside track. Mayhard is the favorite.

The Democrats are in majority but devided and obstinate in their choice, between Baily and Bates, with a half dozen other scattering ones, these two represent the high and low tax Democrats, the high tax oneS for paying off the RnilVond, and othor bonds, the low tax'for repudiating fcc., the holders of the Railroad bonds have offered to take half their face value and compromise the claim,

The Republicans in the pouse are trying to unseat one James G. Stewart, Democrat, claiming a tie vote, if they succeed in this before a Senator is elected by the joint convention, they will then in all probability elect their choice, Maynard, which will very materially effect affairs at Washington.

There area perfect swarm of correspondents, from all parts of the country and an unusal interest is taken in the case.

Mr. Jerre Baxter's is the only familliar face I met. American Luxuries in England.

Six years ago ice was such a rarity In London that extra charges were made at the hotels if a glass or ice water was called for, and in most cases the guest luid to wait until some could be sent for. An Englishman at that time considered ice water unhealthy, and looked with amazement at Americans who persisted in calling for it. It was then not kept at the taverns, and it was seldom Tei quired. Now the waiters go around at the hotels,with bowls of cracked ice and supply all the guests, without extra charge. That it is a recent innovation is evident from the fact that all the drinking houses in (he city of any character, have cards extending across their windows, with the word "ICE" emblazoned in large black letters about fifteen inches long. It is evidently paraded as an attraction to customers, American whisky is also a new card in their windows. While dining in a restaurant the other day a young Englishman came in and called for "a go9 of American whisky. They brought him about a half-tumblerful, which ne swallowed down raw. His red nose and watery eves gave evidence that be was not a stranger to this kind of drink. Tnraing to the bill of fare, we found the following rates: "A go" of brandy, one shilling "a half-go" of brandy, sixpence "a half-go" of whisky, three pence

u»

go" ot gin" four pence, and

a half-go" two pence. Gin is the favorite drink of the topers, but whisky is commencing to rival it. Ice wagons are also to be seen in the street^ labelled Newfoundland ice. Iliia of immense thickness, ranging from fifteen to twenty inches, and as clear as crystal.

Female PhUanthropIsts*

Who has not heard of worth/ Mrs Fry, the Quakeress, who led the van the noble work of reforming both pris oners and prisons?—a work so ably oar ried on by Mary Carpenter, who extended her philanthropic efforts to India in the interests of education and prison discipline. Elizabeth Try, surnamed "the Female Howard," was a daughtei of John Gurney, of Earlham, and sistei to Joseph John Gurney and Lady Buxton. She began to preach in 1810, and three years later commenced her worl as a prison reformer. She effected much improvement in Newgate, and in all parts of the United Kingdom, and then she proceeded on a mission to the Continent, which occupied her during several years. She diea at Ramsgate in 1855, having been the mother of a large family. Mary Carpenter comes next on our list—the friend of the miserable and outcast—who labored not only for their reform in this country, but, as we have remarked, in India likewise. Three times she* visited that country, and on her return after her first visit, in 1866, she published two volumes on the subject. She took part in the conferences at Birmingham in 1851-52-53, and was called upon to give evidence to the committee of the House of Commons which, in 1852-53, inquired into the condition of criminal and destitute children. Miss Carpenter was born in 1807, at Exeter, the daughter of a Unitarian minister, and died on the 16th of June last. Her decease took place in the "Red Lodge Reformatory," which she had herself instituted, and where she had labored many years. The third great female philanthropist was Caroline Chisholm, the daughter of a well-to-do yeoman in Northamptonshire, a good and actively benevolent man. Her mother, early a widow, gave her ah exceptionally thorough education, turned well to account, in after life. Having married Christian Chisholm, of her Majesty's Indian Army, she went out to Madras, where she founded the "School of Industry" for the daughters of soldiers in which rudimentary instruction of many kinds is Mill being $iven, including those of the various duties connected with the house hold. She wa3 liille more than twenty when she opened the school, and in 1839 she and her husband removed to Australia and settled at Sydney. There she established a home for the protection of young girls, whose peril was great on landing in a new and very rough country—as it was some thirty or forty years ago. Expeditions into the country were then undertaken by this brave and generous woman, for the purpose of escorting sometimes as many as eighty young women, to be.lefl here and there in the scattered farm-houses, paying all expenses hcreelf. On on«* occasion alio took in charge the whole emigrant importation from one ship, consisting of sixty-four girls, possessing but fourteen shillings between them. Paving for all, she took, them up the country, and in two years they were nearly all married, and,'thanks to her selet tion of homes, all had preserved good characters. But her work did not end here she opened a money-market for immigration at? Sydney, and advanced no less than JCIOJOOO, of which sho lost but £10 in return for her generous confidence. At last after mucn up-hill labor, the colonists began to subscribe to ner work. Through the Colonial Secretary, she induced the English Government to send out the wivcB-and families of "ticket-of-leave" convicts. One shipful, collected from most of the unions in the country, she brought out in o^rson. She also effected important reforms in the regulation of emigrant ships. On the occasion of her leaving, the colonists presented their benefactor with a purse of money and an address and her invaluable work was publicly acknowledged both by Lord Derby ana Mr. Lowe. The valuable life of this exemplary woman terminated March 25,1877.

The Rev. Dr. Prime, efitor of the Sew York Obterver. lias been spending some months on the Continent of Europe, and making special inquiry into the drinking habits of the people. In ten months, during which he visited the chief cities of France, Germany, and Italy, where the universal tipple is light wine or .beer, he saw just one person drunk. In on© city of 55,000 habitants there was hot a single arrest .-r drunkenness during for£y days. The reverend doctor reaches the conclusion, which is not a di vcry by any means, •hat drnnkennc** is the exception in ':e wine drinking eounU*i39of Southern Eorope. "ft
