In the lower part of about | t wenty of these pillars a hole has been left about * nix inches in diameter. In the pillars already ' completed these ho.es have been filled with lead cases containing records of the various de- ■ part merits of The government, and papors f and documents whioli the beads of the departments may regard as worthy of preservation. Gen. Meigs communicated to all departments his design and asked their co-oper-ation, and he has had no lack of material. The bnildtug, when completed, will he, Geo. Meigs thinks, the most enduring of any public building in the city. It is entirely fire-proof and built in the most thorough manner. At the same time beauty In design has not been neglected, and the completed structure will present a very attractive appearance. The building will not i be completed until next year about this time. I While it was built for the use of the Pension Office, It is stated that it wil l never be occupied by that bureau, but that the Secretary of the Interior will occupy it himself. In order to do this, permission will have to be obtained from Congress. INVITED TO SETTEE. Minister Benjamin Requested to Foot the Bills for Ills Deception. Washington Special. The second letter of Mr. Benjamin, the new American minister to Persia, is not quite as much like the blare of a trumpet as tbe tirsr. A few days since il.e public was regaled with a gorgeous description of oriental magnificence, set before our minister by the Shah, on the occasion of Mr. Benjamin’s entry into Teheran. Among other things, he was presented with a flue horse from his Majesty’s stables. The sequel appears in Mr. Benjamin’s dispatch No. 2: From this it appears that tbe morning after the show the high cockalorum of the Shah dropped in to see Mr. Benjauiiu. The latter felt complimeuted at the efforts of the rulers of the country to make him feel at home. The high cockalorum, however, soon proceeded to business, and for a time our minister was puzzled to understand what this officer was hinting t. He declared that his royal master, the Brother of the Sun, Moon ami Stars, had seen lit to trj* to make things pleasant for Mr. Benjamin, and. of course, the latter would be exceedingly anxious to make prompt and generous return. It took our minister some time to acquire a full-orbed view of the exact situation: but he was finally* enabled to learn what the customs of the country were. In plain English, a full equivalent was wanted for the horse and most of the other expenses of the reception. Mr. Beniamin still thinks that the reception was a splendid affair, but he don’t exactly see where he is to find <i margin in bia salary of $5,000 for many such evidences of sincere friendship for his uative country.

I remember that at college Dan Voorhees was no less distinguished for his eloquence than his advocacy of protection. He not only took exceptions with the text-book on political economy in the class-room, but was accorded the nonor or enlisting the professor in a debate on the sneject from the rostrnm in the dispel, before the assembled students and a verj* select audience.” “Then Vnorheea was a debater during his college days!” suggested the writer. “Ye*, indeed; lie graduated from Aabury a pronounced ana acknowledged orator.

THE PRESIDENT'S JAUNT. A Rough Road, Nice Camp, and Splendid Trout-Firth lug. Camp Vkst, on Spring Creek, Wyoming, via Fort Washakie, Aug. 41.—The day so far, since leaving Camp Rollins, at Bull Lake fort, this morningat7 o’clock, has been very uneventful. The President and all members of tho parry are In excellent health and spirits. The country traveled over to-day has been mostly sagebrush, varied by alternate ascenaiug aud descending steep hills, covered with loose stones, which made footing for the animals very bad. One cannot help wondering why so much material was wasted in making so many apparently useless ridges when there are plenty of gulches which could so well be filled all along the route. The glorious Wind-river and Owl-creek mountains, with their snow-clad peaks in sight, afford a restfulneas to the eyes of the travelers who are pursuing their way across the dried and heated mesas below. Tho cstnn on Spring creek Is delightful, however on pleasant ground, with plenty of the essential requirements of good camping places, good water aud grass. To the eastward of ns is Crowheart Butte, which is a noted landmark of of the Wind river valley, and of it tlie photographer has obtained several pictures. This dispatch has to leave by courier at 3 this afternoon, so no report can be made to-day of the results obtained by the fishermen. Tne camp is named Camp Vest, in honor of Senator Vest, who is one of the most enthusiastic and successful anglers of the party. After my dispatch yesterday from Bull Lake forks both the President and Senator Vest brought into camp five creels full of trout, as a result of the afternoon sport. Saturday’s March and Sport. Camp CkoSßi, Aug. 11.—Breaking camp at 6:30 a. m.. a gray sky and drifting clouds added to a slight ralu and heavy dow of last night gave delightful freahuess and coolness to the air and a bracing atmosphere as the party started on the day’s march. Rest from the burdens of official and social life and tbe exhilarating effects of the climate are wearing away what little soreness some oi the party bad felt from riding. All good effects, in taot. of tha out-door life is aeon in the bony ant manner in which the members of the party mounted aud rode away. Senator Vest again snored the greatest number of trout yesterday, but a shower in the afternoon put an end to the sport, and prevented very muoh of the completion of the route. The routo lay along an old Indian trail made dim and faint by time. A portion of the party left, the column and skirted the foot-hills and mountains to the left in search of game and scenery, hut the game had nearly vanished, well-nigh exrertnli a ed, as only one deer and one antelope wus seeu. As coming events are sometimes said to cast their shadows before, so this may perhaps Indicate the sad fate of the Indian race. A inarch of fourteen miles brought us to Den widdle creek, a noisy mountain stream, rushing down iu a boisterous way to join its water with Wind river. In honor or the Governor of Montana, this camp is named Camp Crosby. The country passed over to-day was mostly rolling, interspersed occasionally with valleys, susceptible or irrigation, but tho furnre prosperity of tide section depends on its being utilized for grazing purpose*. The grass has already taken on a brownish tint, the first indication of the curing process of this climate, and In this lies the great secrets of its retention of nutritious properties. It seems a pity ihafc these streams should have lost their Indtan names, but like for instance, where we made our first camp is called by them “Moaning or Crying Buffalo Creek.” Here, in winter, when the ice is on the lake, a wild, pitiful sound Is heard, resemnling the iuoun of a buffalo iti distress. Again, here at our present canty, the Indians call the stream “Tiie Creek with God’s Bridge,” and some ten miles above its mouth a natural bridge, about 300 yards wide, spans the chasm, through which the waters rush. This bridge is scarred and marked by trails made by the Indian and game. The canyon Is ho grand aud beautiful that one of the party who has wandered much iu foreign lauds says of it: ‘■Nothing tkel% can iu auv way compare with it ” This gorge In the mountains, carved by the Master’s hand, is hard to describe, but one cannot look at it save in awe of the great architect. Near the bead of tbe stream it is crescent in shape, backed by mountains far down whose sides lie great banks of snow which have rested there during all the eternity of the past. Then comes sombre, I gray rocks, gloomy ami harreu, above all vegiration, and seeming to frown down upon the bright waters and green foliage below. The stream opens out. at short intervals into lakes, several of these pale green m color. The tents had been pitched but a few moments, and the fishermen had just commenced their efforts when, from the northwesi, a great block cloud came sweeping over tbe bluffs, and a hail and rain-storm really made the party feel that they were enduring hardships, hut they are. just wild enough to be agreeable. The entire party is enjoying the best or health. _______________ If yon feel dull, drowav. debilitated, have sal low color of Hkiu or yellowish-brown spots on face or body, frequent headache or dizziness, had taste in mouth, internal heat or chilis alternator with hot Hushes, low spirits and gloomy fore kind lugs, irregular appetite and tongue coated, yon arc Hiifferliig from “torpid liver” or “biliousness.” In many cases of “liver complaint’ only part of these, symptoms are experienced.

TWO DESTRUCTIVE FIRES. The Town of Vineyard Haven, Mass,, Almost Entirely Burned. An Appeal for Aid—Burning of the Kimball House. at Atlanta, Ga.—Over a Million Dollars Gone in Smoke. AN EASTERN BLAZE. The Town of Vineyard Haven, Mass., Almost Entirely Destroyed. Boston, Aug. 12.—About 0 o’clock last night, a fire broke out in Vineyard Haven, and a large number of cottages, mostly belonging to summer residents, have been burned. It originated in the harness manufactory of R. W. Crocker, and owing to a brisk northeast gale, quickly swept through tbe village to westward. There being no fire apparatus in the town, assistance was summoned from Cottage City by telephone. Nearly the entire population of that place hastened to the scene. The burned section begins at Jenkins’s paint shop, on the east side of Main street, and extends southward to and including the Mansion House. The Cottage City fire department and police are on hand, and have rendered valuable assistance. District Officers Innes and Sevear, and Chief Dexter, of Cottage City, have organized a force to protect property. Numerous thieves from vessels in the harbor are on shore, and boldly attempting to carry away goods. Several arrests have been made of persons caught making off with clothing, etc. The territory burned over embraces the heart of the village. The loss cannot be accurately estimated to-night, though probably it will fall little short of $200,000. and strikes almost a death-blow to this ancient Tillage. It leaves hundreds of people homeless, many of whom are thrown upon the charity of their neighbors. There is a considerable insurance on the property destroyed. There have been no accidents or loss of life, though the fire spread quickly, and covered territory thickly settled. The town is at present full of summer boarders from Washington and elsewhere, and probably two hundred of them are burned out. A public meeting was held at Cottage City today at which a relief committee of twenty-one prominent residents and visitors was appointed. This afternoon the committee issued the following appeal: “An appalling calamity has befallen the village of Vineyard Haven. A conflagration last night swept away the entire business portion of the place, excepting one store, and destroyed over thirty dwelling-houses, thus throwing out of occupation and home hundreds of persons who have lost everything. Many of these homeless ones are widows and orphans, and all in need of immediate assistance. Contributions of food, clothing or money, addressed to Captain James L. Smith, treasurer, Vineyard Haven, Mass., will be thankfully received by the relief committee. “Wm. H. Amoux, Chairman.” “We, the selectmen of the town of Tisbury, in which the villageof Vineyard Haven is situated, indorse the above appeal. Truman Allen, “Owen H. Tilton.” The village is visited by thousands from all parts of. the island and from the mainland. The loss is estimated at $190,000; insurance, $64,200. All the stores in the place but one are burned. The wife of James Davis, an aged citizen, died from excitement consequent upon the fire. The following are the heaviest losers: R. Crocker, harness manufactory, $23,000; insurance, $10,000. J. H. Lambert, store and dwelling. $24,000; insurance, $10,000. The Baptist Church. $8,000.. Luce Bros., dry goods, $12,000; insurance, $7,000. Most of the losses were below $5,000 each. A SOUTHERN CONFLAGRATION. Burning of the Kimball House, Atlanta —Lose One Million Dollars. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 12.—The Kimball Honse was discovered to boon tire this morning about 5 o’clock. The flames getting beyond cont.ro 1 , Mr. Scoville, the proprietor, ordered the guests to be awakened, and guards weut through the hallways breaking open doors where necessary to insure the safety of guests. The fire, having originated In a rear building, was favorable to escape, and within twenty minutes the hotel was emptied, ana within an hour the structure burned to the ground. The hotel was built by H. J. Kimball, and owued by Robert Toombs, John Rice, Joseph P. Thompson and orhers. It cost $600,000, and the fnrniture $125,000. The insurance Was only $80.0(H), among many companies, Tho Gate City National Bank, Hurrolson & Bro., tobacconists, John B. Daniel, drugs, and others, are among the losers. The total loss will reach $1,000,000, while the insurance is not over $200,000. The fire is claimed by Mr. Culberson, agent of tho company, to be incendiary. In the vaults of the Gate City Bank were $300,000, which is yet a matter of doubt. I The fire broke out about4:3o o'clock. Opinions I as to its origin are conflicting. Charlie Slider and Phil. Green, two of the Constitution’s boys, connected with the mailing department, saw the lire breaking out, and, realizing the danger tho guests were in, rushed Into the building and made their way along the corridors, waking up the sleeping occupants. In some places they certainly saved Uvea, as there were people In the house who had not been brought out by the first alarm. They went to the top story of the house, and did muoh good work in waking people. They express the opinion that when the debris is removed it will be found that there are persous who perished in the flames. The flames had enveloped the building on the west side before the officers of the Gate City Bank arrived. L. J. Hast was absent from the city. Wilburn Hill and Ed. McCandiess were on hand as soon as notified of the fire, and, with the assistance of citizens, took valuable books and papers from the vault to a place of safety. The safe, containing half a million in valuables, conld not. be removed. A soon as possible a steady stream of water Nvas turned on the vault, aud it is thought the pupers aud money are all right. Among tho strangers In tho hotel were the fol - lowing: liowis Miller, of Baltimore: Bol.|Hoss, of Richmond; H. Herugood, of Baltimore; W. B. Emerson, of New York; R. E. Foster, of Charleston; J.
