Reports of their reconciliation and subse quent affectionate relations appear to have been not altogether well founded. Their snarls are now said to be as fierce as ever. Rumor hath it that the President has abandoned his projected junket through the south and west. Possibly he is afraid that be might meet with that formidable Bering sea question if he should go up along the Pacific coast. Those Chilean insurgents appear to com prise the larger portion of the inhabitants of the country if the representations of their delegation to Paris are to be credited. At all events they appear to be getting rather the better of the argument at arms. Lyric Lord Tennyson has not only gra ciously accepted tbe tendered honorary membership in the Chicago World’s Fair Auxiliary Association but conditionally promised to write them a song. It was ail very courteous and friendly of the old gen tleman. Great Mogul Gorman is not a member of the incoming House of Representatives, but be is still vigorously opposed to Mr. Mills for speaker, and quite as steadfastly in favor of Judge Crisp. Quite a number of others who have votes ore also in favor of the judge. Modesty does not appear to have taken a very firm hold upon the adventuress who wrecked Ray Hamilton’s life. At last ac counts she was clamoring for $75,000 from bis estate, and protesting that she would not accept a cent less. How she expects to en force the payment is not altogether clear. After a little more experience of the law she will probably be willing to greatly reduce ber claims. Washington gossips say that Mr. W ana xnaker’s pet postal telegraph scheme was de feated by the blandishments of a danger ously fascinating woman who allured one of tha deacon's stanchest friends from his post at a critical moment When next Deacon John attempts any particularly fine legislation he would do well to have bis adherent* fenced in to prevent them from getting lost or chasing strange divin ities. No such cold temptatioD as the bleak Russian mission is a sufficiently alluring bait to divert Mr. Huston’s attention from his long-cherished purpose of wielding his keen-edged cheese-knife ferninst the Presi dent’s ambitious designs upon a renomina tion. Evidently Mr. Huston’s ire toward the Presid nt is not of so light an order that it can readily be placated. Nothing but a good, earnest balloting •‘scrap’’ will satisfy him, and that is likely to occur in Indiana next fall. Republican politlcans of North Dakota have started a great bugaboo scare over the imaginary efforts of the democrats to cap ture political control of the state through an alleged whisky ring in St. Paul and Chicago. Such a ring, if it has any exist ence, could easily find a much more desir able field for the expenditure of its efforts and its funds then North Dakota will be for some years to come. But some sort of a clamor is necessary to revive and retain party allegiance. So there it is. Abolishing the Louisiana State Lottery appears to be much more difficult than the officers of the government anticipated. Through a branch established in Mexico under the management of Col. John S. Mosby, it is literally flooding the country with adve-tising matter and circulars which the government is powerless to sup press, because it has no authority to inter fere with the mail coming from a foreign country. When such an institution accumu lates as much wealth as this Louisiana lot- it is very difficult to crush. One More Mustered Out. Another of the great chieftans of the late civil war has fallen Lef. re the arch-enemy of all mankind. With Gen. Johnston passe* away one of the greatest miiita y leaders developed by tbe conflict between tbe state*. Some of tbe military authorities pronounce Gen. Johnston the greatest com mander on either side. Certainly he was very adroit in strategetic man- u vers. In many respects his me hods of handling men are said to have greatly resembled the tactics of Gen. Washington. Indeed, he was frequently compared to the “Father of his Country,” not altogether to the disadvantage of the former. Pre sumptively competent judges repeated ! y stated that hod Gen. Johnston held full command of tha confederate forces he might have proven even more successful than Gen. Lee. with the effect of altering the result of the war. However tnat may be, he is generally conceded to have been an exceptionally capable leader. Though not dashing like “Job” IStuart nor deadly sure l.ke Stonewall Jackson, he was so thoroughly skilled in the science of war that he siezed his opportuni ties and handled bis men with tbe ease and telling effect of a trained chess player. In civil life he was known as a capable business man and a very genial gentleman. Since t e war he has made almost as many friends in political life as he previously had in the army. Many of the stanchest among them were his fo mer adversaries. Quite a remarkable friendship was found between tbe deceased and Sherman, which only terminated with the life of the la' ter. It was at the Sher man obsequies that Gen. Johnston Is sup posed to have contracted the cold which brought about his death. There is something singularly striking in the strong friendships formed between these old war veterans, who fought against one another. It was also os admirable as it was strange. It demonstrates the natural sym pathy between courageous men. Sherman May Lose His Seat. There is always a political fight on hand In Ohio. And the fights are generally in teresting. There are so many men there, both among the democrats and republicans, who are sufficiently prominent to command recognition from their respective parties, that it would be strange if there wore peace in political circles for any considerable length of time. Foraker, McKinley and Sherman are having a sort of triangular fight for the seat in the Senate which Sherman has occu pied so long. Foraker wants it, and so does McKinley, and Sherman doesn’t intend to give it up if he can help it. The legislature whlclj is to be elected next fall will choose Shermans successor. For aker is advocating a change in the federal constitution that will permit tbe election of senators by the people. And the proposed change seems to meet with a great deal of favor. It is urged that under the present sys tem too many men buy their way into the Senate, but that if senators were elected by the people money would not be a factor in senatorial elections. Tlisre is force in this argument, and it strikes the popular mind favorably. But as the constitution cannot be changed at once Foraker proposes that tne state con vention shall name the mau whom the leg islature shall elect senator. In this propo sition he shows his shrewdness. He is a belter politician than Sherumn, and is pop ular with the rank and file of his party. If it should be agreed that the state conven tion should name the senator he would get the prize, probably. But Sherman and his friends will never agree to anything of that kind. But what is MoKinley’s claim to the sen atorship? It seems that at the Chicago national convention Sherman promised him to stand out of the way in the next sou atorial fight when a republican could be elected, and to do what he could to have him elected senator. This promise was made when SnermaD, being a presidential candidate, feared treachery from Foraker and needed McKinley’s assistance. It is now said that Sherman is trying to evade his promise to McKinley. He and his friends would like to help make McKinley governor and get rid of him in that way. The fight between the three men is a very pretty one and grows in interest. It would not be surprising, however, if Sherman should be the successful candidate. Avery long head has Sherman. Color Is Not a Valid Claim. One of the best answers to the solicitous inquiries as to “what Is best for the advance ment of the negro” is found in the statistics of several southern states, which tell of the property accumulated and the education acquired by many of the most industrious Of them. That’s the way for the negro to advance. Make a move. There’s nothing like it. That’s the only way the white mau can get ahead. When the negro editors assembled in Cin cinnati recently they indulged in a great deal of loud lamentation at the alleged in crease of the so-called “southern outrages,” and what they are pleased to call the wrongs of their race. On every available occasion the professional negroes make a besi ness of finding grievances for their brethren to resent, and live by bemoaning their woes aud anathematizing the greedy politicians whogetoffi.es and refuse to divide with them. Offices are really about the worst thing they could get. Whites oome to be utterly worthless for the active work of making a living after a few terms of office holding. Negroes grow even worse because of their natural indolence. Work is the best thing for them. Quiet self-relianco and work will give them a standing they could not acquire in any other way. Let the negro remember that public office is bestowed upon aspirants for one of two reasons. Either the appointee is in favor with the appointing power or his I qualifications are so superior as to render his services very desirable if not indis j pensabie. It is far better to rely upon pr ctical qualifications. But it is well to bear in mi.id that those who appoint prefer their own friends. Merely being a negro doeau’t render an applicant essentially de sirable, and the soouer the negro realizes that tbe better for him. If he wants to “claim his own’’ the very best course he can adopt is to go to work and own something to claim. Whether thi white house flagman did n t approve of St. Patrick or thought Mr. H i - ducking expeiition partic ilarly dis tressing, or was in mental distress himself, is difficult to determine. But shortly after sending up the flag on the white house, union down, on St. Patrick’s he was probably dittressod at the result to nimself. Although this administration has not been particu larly briliiaut, from all outward appear ances It at le3t does not need auy distress signals. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1891. Ex-Ssnator Hampton’s Views. In an interview the other day ex-Senator Wade Hampton expressed lima rsther in teresting views on political matter*. He said that he did not thiok tbe sliver ques tion would be an issue in the next national campaign, for the reason that, in his opin -1 ion, the present congress would dispose of j it. And he said he did not believe that tbs I farmers’ alliance would exercise much in fluence upon the next presidential election. ! “National elections,” he declared, “are only affected by national issues. The issues raised by tbe alliauce are local and class rather than national. The contest will be between the two old parties as usual.” Gen. Hampton does not think a southern man should be elected speaker. A northern or western man should be chosen. It would be a mistake, he said, to make a southern man speaker and give nearly all the chair manships of the committees to southern men. Gen. Hampton's idea is that to put legis lation almost entirely in the control of southern men would lie prejudicial to the Democratic party. There is force, un doubtedly, in wbat he says. Ia speaking of prtsidential candidates, he said that there was not much doubt that a New York man would be the democratic candidate fur President if the New York delegation to the national convention was solid for a New York man. If that dele gation should be a divided one a western man would get tbe nomination. There are very few who will question the correctness if this view. A divided New York delega- tion would create a doubt about the ability of a New York man to carry that state. Referring ta his own affairs Gen. Hamp ton said that he was out of public life, and intended to give his attention to his private affairs. He declined to say, however, whether or not he would refuse to be a can didate for governor if his party offered him the nomination. But that is a matter that is quite a long way in the future. The political situation in South Caro'ina may change considerably before the time comes for nominating a gubernatorial candidate. More Malicious Than Merry. When a man has speut a number of years in any community where be has failed to ma e himself agreeable or popular it teems to be a part of human nature that he sllbuld go off to some other locality and talk disre pectfullv, and even maliciously, of the peo ple among whom he lived and who, for some reason generally dependent upon his own personal defects of character, failed to fancy him in the extravagant way h* desired. This is a peculiarity of a certain class of mankind. To tbe credit of tbe human race be it said that such conduct is not genoral. Whether the people among whom a man has lived, fancied and flattered him or not, they at least tolerated him at whatever expense to their own feelings, and for that, if for no other reason, they have a right to expect of him, if not courtesy, at least abstinence from outright misrepresenta tion. According to his own statement to Cor respondent “Gath” in Washington a few days ago, a young man by the name of Lampton once lived in Kentucky, where he printed a newspaper, which he admits was not a brilliant success. That seems to have soured him toward all that is Kentuckian. His chief delight now appears to be found in regaling credulous strangers with won derful sti ries of the fabulous atrocities con stantly going on in the land of Daniel Boone. This is rather a severe penalty he is visiting upon tbe hapless mountaineers for their neglect to more freely subscribe for his sentiments as he “writ ’em,” and to interject advertisements on the basis of a “tariff for revenue.” That seems to have been an unpardonable offense which he cannot forgive. Nor does he take into ac count that the sentiments he had for sale may really not have been worth the price put upon them. Still he continues to retail his stories of the horrors so easy to imagine, but so difficult to actually discover. Native Kentuckians he represents as a species of cowardly cutthroats compared with whom the ancient assassins were knights of chiv alric valor. Such disgruntled emigrants as Mr. Lamp ton it is who tako a flitting and dyspeptic view of their surroundings and then hur riedly pass on to the next settlement to relate marvelous narratives of what they think ought to have happened but which they could not wait to see. They are the historians who distort tbe color and char- acter of a country and its civilization into such grotesquely repulsive shapes as to cause the eyes of law-abiding people to dilate with horror. In making such state ments to “Gath” of the bloodthirstiness of Kentuckians no doubt this young man thought that he was merely indulging in a bit of picturesque facetiae. Chronic jokers always so consider tbeir o.vn most absurdly exaggerated misrepresentations. They regard them as only fun, and do not expect any one to believe them. But the fabricat ing humorist doesn’t take into account that everybody does not personally know him, and therefore cannot appreciate what a robust liar he is. Else his statements would never damage those to whom they refer. Yet it would be a good thing if he could bo made to understand that a state ment is not essentially humorous simply be cause it is a grotesquely impossible lie. When next Mr. Lampton visits the land of those bl xxnhirsty aud treacherous Ken tuckians that he pictures with so much viv.d horror he deserves to have a sanguin ary band cf them suddenly appear from behind a chinquapin bush and literally sat urate his raimeat with diseased eggs. Living under Mr. Chmdler’s pecubar form of government has already begun to tell upon New Hampshire. Unknown to a majority of the people all of the water and water power in the state was quietly legis lated into the possession of a wealthy syndi cate at the last session of the legislature in such a way as to deprive the people of all control of it. Now the syndicate is coolly making a proposition to various cities and towns to supply them with water for a valuable consideration. But whoever wants it must pay for it. It is no longer public property. Credits in Buen-s Ayres do not seem to be greatly improving. Paper falling due in London is said to be more frequently met with promises t: an payments. So long as that continues the credit of the country must remain very weak. With the expected stability of government, however, all of this will probably be remedied. English naval architects greatly admire t’ e m dern American war vessels. Though we have not many ships in our navy and occasionally reduce the number by getting one stuck in the mud, wbat we have contain the latest Improvements and are creditable to the skill of our mechanics as well as to the country.

A Few Lenten Renunciations. (Copyright.) New York, March 21. —Are you a be liever in woman’s clubs i I am not. Woman is not a parliamentary creature. She sees no reason why she should not “sass back” and grow personal any time she wants, and she has no hesitation whatever in telling of ber committee work, of whispering around cf who has and who has not been black balled, and of showing that she herself is a very leaky vessel. A WOMAN ON WOMAN’S CLUBS. I was talking with a woman tbe other day, and she said this; “A year ago I was tempted and fell—fell into being a member of the ‘Woman’s Press Club.’ I had been duly warned by tbe men of my family that I would bitterly regret this, but I be.ieved that men knew nothing. I thought, ‘Here, at last, is the ideal club. It will bo com posed of women writers, and wherever there is one who needs a lift, the helping band, in the way of giving her the na ne of an editor who wants work, or the kindly voice in the way of offering her a sugges ti in, will be found. 1 hey will be bright women, they will be business-like women. I shall find meeting them once a month a pleasure, while, as for the business meetings, of course, women who earn their own liv ing will know how to conduct these prop erly." HOW WOMEN RUN A CLUB. “The original officers were elected by ac clamation. Then, for several months, the club worked along with ut a constitution in a very aimless manner, but still I hoped against hope that it would eventually prove of some v-.lue. Last autumn circulars were sent out announciug that there would be an election for vice-presidents, treasurer, sec retary, and some other officers. No men tion was made in this circular about the election of a president, aud yet when we got there we found there was to be one, aud we hadn't sense euough to know that the whole thing was illegal, because no notice had been given of it, NOT ALL GUILELESS WOMEN. “One woman, who was energetic in her desire to soe some good officers put in, was asked to be'a teller of votes —I think that’s what you it —and she took the position, though the said she didn’t want to, and never realized until the next day, when her husband told her, that the thing was done to get her off the floor, so she couldn’t work for her candidate, and that she ought to have refused to do it. He laughed at her a good bit, and taunted her Yrith it because she was the daughter of a politician! Another time, a letter came from some womau in the west asking for the address of some syndicates—a perfectly proper question to put to such a club. Tbe presi dent read it out in a derisive manner, and seemed to tbink it a great joke, and while the blood in my veins was boiling at this, a southern woman sad she would take it aud send the woman the addresses desired. "Women in the club * WERE SUPPOSED TO BE WRITERS of something. Now, I have nothing to say against people who write advertisements; it is a money-making business, and one that undoubtedly calls for a vivid imagination, but still ido not tbink it is journalism. 1 have nothing to say against a dear little soul who wrote her first article after she joined the club: still, I don’t see wherein came her claim for admission; but I do think it funny that women who have odljt written checks, or who are anxious to get in with a literary set—save tha mark! —are eligible for membership. I tried to do my best in that station iu which I had been placed by vote. I wanted neither ducats nor kudos from such a club, but I got an im mense knowledge from various types of women. WOMEN MET IN A CLUB. “For the first time in my life, I met the woman who was determined to hold unto her position liko a leech, who doesn’t intend to do any work, and who can’t add any thing to a club by her name, but who clings and clings, and even death won’t put her out —death doesn’t want her; she is the woman who is ruled by the last idle g ’ssip she has heard, and who is wildly anxious, bymakiug new acquaintances, to take the sponge of forgetfulness and wipe off the marks on the slate of her life. I met the woman who is a cat clothed in cashmere. She looks at you inquiringly, wonders what she ought to do, then goes home and writes you a letter, and tells you what you ought to do. She is willing to give everybody ad vice about their work, and she does her own very poorly. Then I met the other type, THE WOMAN WHO FLATTERS, and flatters, and flatters —who writes you a letter, and tells you that your genius is so great, you ought not to be wasting it on the work that you are doing: later ou you dis cover she has made an application for that very work. I’d discovered, too, how women, following the fashion of O’Connell, will drive a four-in-hand through a constitution without a wink. After all this you will do as I did—come home, and sit down by your consolation—the man who advised you not to do it tell him of the envy, hatred, malace, and all uncharitable uess that exists in a woman’s club, and he is too much of a man, and bis manners are too gentle for him to say, ‘I told you so.’ But you will have a small weep, and an nounce to him that you have done with it Any advantages! Yes, there were three. I got acquainted with a dear little doctor, who was as loyal as a giant, and wasn’t afraid to speak the truth; with a western woman whose heart is true, whose words are honest, aud who is as big of brain as she is of heart. With another woman whose great dark eyes saw all tbe meannesses, and wbo felt as I did. that touching pitch she had been defiled.” I said A WOMAN TOLD ME THIB. So it was. It was that familiar friend who looks at me from tbe mirror, and, as I shake my bead sadly, her lies moved as did mine, repeating with me, "Stick to your traditions —abhor women’s clubs as you do cigarettes, bad manners, and petty spites.” This is the time for repeutance, and I do much repent my|ever having had a yearning to belong to a club; and tbe story is told that no other women I know may fall by the wayside with the same Innocence and fervor that I did; no good Samaritan came to pick me ud, but a violent reaction of common sense set in, and in that way and that alone was I saved. A VENUS-LIKE PETTICOAT. Petticoats ere much more interesting than clubs, at least they ought to be, and the very newest of all might be assumed by Venus as she arose from the sea and would harmonize with her general surroundings. It is made of pale pink sain brocaded with green, the faintest of shades, and trimmed with four deep frills of lace that look like sea-foam. Iu intense gorgeousness is enough to make any woman dishonest— there at once is a protest against a club. If I carried the money bag, I’d steal iu money and buy that petticoat t THE NEWEST SPRING BONNET. The newest hat, tbe hat which every pretty young girl ought to have for Raster day, is called tbe Greuze or shepherdess.and is the most absolutely fetching thing you ever saw. It is a litt e straw thing, bent in front to form a Bcallop or two,with a wreath of ruses under tbe brim and a knot of rib bons on top and long velvet ribbons hang ing down at the back. If you really want to know what it looks like t look at the p:c taro* of shepherd ernes on Watteau fans. Of ooune,such a hat must be worn by a very pretty girl, but nowadays everybody is young and pretty, because the taking care of one’s self is an art more thoroughly un derstood than it ever was before. THE LATEST FEXI.VIME COLORS. Talking of the fashions, it is gravely an* nounoed that two shades of blue will be most in vogue, garter blue aud St. Patrick blue. I have always thought green the shade specially dedicated to the salat about whom it is so positively announced that be was a gentleman, but it is just possible be may have bad some blue affiliations. Garter blue is a dark, rich tone, not at all trying, but a little brighter than the deep navy. St. Patrick's blue is a paler shade, touching on the Mazann. The first is probably much more becoming than the last. Blue is a good color for the summer, becau e it always looks cool, and so, for that reason, all the pretty girls are likely to wear it. How ever, if THE PRETTIEST GIRL OF ALL wants to look most in fashion, she must get herself up after one of the pictures from an old-fasliinnsd book of beauty. Her hair must be curled, and upon it she must wear a shepherdess' hat, with a wreath of rcses inside of it, while about her waist must be a deep girdle that will make ber look a little sbort-naisted. She can pose with a ro->e in her hand, althougu when she is without her hat the rose may find a place iu her hair just behind the ear. If she is really as charming looking as she ought to be, the artiet in popular favr will du a picture for her, exhibit it.and she will have a not iriety that would have frigntened ber grandmoth er, although she permitted her face to show in the old-fashioned book. The mama that women have for posing for artists is something ast ur.djn -. It be gan in Paris, it went to London, and now it is here. The daughter of a well-known American had her picture painted by a cele brated artist —a picture in which, beside her birthday suit, she held a mask up to ber face—that was her costume. That picture has been photographed and is very generally sold through the United States, aud yet it is not known here, as it is in Paris, exactly who the girl is. I do not think New York women aspire to this —at least I hope they do not; but when thov begin this wretche 1 cant of doing things “for art’s sake.” with a soulful soul and a capital A, I feel as if the impossible were to be expected. THINGS TO BE RENOUNCED. How have you gotten along with your re nunciations? I heard a man wish that some of the old women who give life to dead scandals, and who t vlk over, with morbid andgnoulish glee, the misfortunes of others, would re nounce this world—the flesh having re nounced them and the devil having no u e for them, and made me think of what could be renounced. Women who dye their hair might re nounce the chemist. Lawyen and doctors might renounce fibS. Pretty women might renounce flirta tions. Actresses might renounce painting their eyes so much. Housekeepers might renounce bad cook ing. Men might renounce gambling. Women might renounce indigestible sweets. There are a good many things that might be renounced, but please, good Mr. Editor, don’t renounce Bab. A TEXAS GIR-i IN NSW YORK. An Interesting Account of Her Expe riences In the Metropolis. (Copyright, 1891.1 New York, March 21. —I took the star part in a stirring little drama the other day. It was all along of having directions given me to find a place. Some humane young people to whom I had brought a letter, seeing me a compara tively small, young and unsophisticated stranger in a decidedly large, heartless and overbearing piace, invited me to dine with them, and wrote the most minute directions for getting to them, as; item, take Sixth avenue elevated, and get off at One Hun dred and Twenty-fourth street; item, two blocks north, two west; item, flat on sec ond floor, over drug store, on northeast corner. Now, this was the kindly meant but fatal document that procured my subsequent dis comfiture. Had I known no more than that these kind people lived at 1897 West One Hun dred and Twenty-seventh street, and had gone as usual on my devious and erratic way, ‘‘all would have been well.” Is ould have seen a great deal of the city, had a large amount of wholesome exercise, and finally have arrived at my friend’s house without Well, I took the Sixth avenue elevated; it’s a good, free mover, well gaited, and holds out well. I dismounted at One Hun dred and Twenty-fifth street, as per direc tions, leaving it securely staked (this was my own idea). I wag fascinated by those directions. I read teem all the way up to One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street. If I put them away I instantly forgot whether it was two blocks north or three, aud had to get them out again. The scene of the last act is west One Hun dred and Twenty-seventh street. Persons present, a very big policeman, and a very small attendant, or keeper-man, from some “retreat,” looking for an escaped lunatic of about my "highth and bigness.” To these outer I, solus, suddenly, around a corner, reading aloud from my friend’s letter, aud indicating directions with my umbrella. I —Three blocks west. Flat on Policeman —Holy smoke! There she comes now! 0! Look at them eyes of hern! Say, you can take her yerself; I don’t want no dollar. Keeper-man—Don’t be such a fool; she’s not violent. (To ms)—Now, Miss Skittles, won’t you— I (absently, glaring at the letter and then ahead of mey—Go away.

[My friends look from their window, cas ually, and are petrified with horror at see ing me, apparently engaged in a street brawl, and about to be dragged to jail by a policeman.

Inside the door gentleman asks how it happened. I t-11. He leans up against steam radiator aud laughs, and weeps, and groans, like somebody in a novel at a “crisis.” Lady comes dow i and wants to Know. I tell her. She sits down on the lower step and carries on like a foolish person. Presently we go upstairs; and later we have dinner. Those people, whom I have thought so nice, laugh consumedlv, all through the meal, at tbe feeblest kind of jokes, and even at things that are not jokes at all, until I am obliged to co- dude that they are not very smart, and am glad to get a■' ay, and rest my mind reading some pat ent medicine testimonials that are wrapped around a stern, inflexible tooth brush I had purchased before the matinee. W hen 1 got back to Sixth avenue I found the stake rope broken, and the elevated 1 gone. But another—just as good every way—came along almost Immediately, and I rode heme on it. Two young ladies sat near me In tbe car; one was reading a letter, and says the other one, “Poor Grace, she must be perfectly wretched in such a place—so quiet and lone some—and all tbe heart and brain she’s got are devoted to society. What does she say?" “She's awfully homesick. O, got a gath ering In her ear, too, and—” “Well poor thing, I suppose she’s away from all other gatherings and—” “Fourteenth street,” bawls the conductor, and out they go. Now, I’m “willing to be a woman; I’m re signed to riding in a side saddle; I, person ally, don’t care to vote, and don’t rebel against social conventionalities and regula tions; but when I have to go out on a very bad day, aod bold my long dress up out of tbe mud, I do feel mad. When llook at tbe hundreds and hun dreds cf poor custom-ridden creatures— ousiness women most of them, women of courage and Prams, independent, self-sup porting citizens—holding an umbrella in one hand and c utheing their wretched, draggling, enslaving skirts in the other, ruy wh >le soul rises in revolt. I am divi led in my mind between anger and a bitter sort of amusement, at such a ridiculous, distressing, pitiful spectacle. When such a costume for navigation, particularly in inclement weather, is hissed off the stage, kicked out of court, thrust into outer darkness, those happy, untram meled beings who shall go atwut in clean, attractive and comfortable clothes will wonder how we stood it so long. I notice: That the muff is carried more often in one hand than in the other. It hangs down at the end of the extended arm, is use las a sort of swinger or propeller, and also to wave at eardrivers, etc. That there is a flower in every hat—big pink rose, or buds, for preference—no mat ter how furry and plumy. Big featherv Gainesboroughs and little fur toques, each wears its blossom. That it is always the poor shop girl, or the workingman, that stops to give a penny to a beggar. That a man will wait ten minutes for an elevator to take him up two floors; but a woman will linger a moment, look im patient and then run up the stairs. They are all my subjects in this my king dom, playing pretty or behaving ugly, being good or foolish or wicked, all for my amusement, instruction or admonition. All week I bad mostly been engaged in doing those things which I had ought to have left undone, when I should have been doing tne things I ought to have done; working when I should have been asleep, aud loafing about when I should have been at work. Some of tbe subjects had behaved frivolously, meanly, not to say disgustingly; I had read a pessimistic book, and alto-’ getber felt a hearUore wtariness of life and peopla Sunday morning I went to church, at the solicitatiou of a friend, to hear a man preach. The sweet and quiet atmosphere, the gentle half-light came kindly and healingly upon my jangled nerves and tired spirit. Presently, out upon this tempered dimness and qualified silence, trembled a softened whisper from the great organ; and fast following came the notes of a lovely voice. I thought it was a rich tenor, or baritone; but as it went on, I found it was that voice of all voices to me most eloquent, a deep and moving alto. The wooing tones comedown to me, soft and tremulous with pleading;Jstrenuous. vibrating with passionate appeal: love, and yearning, and prayer that would not be gainseyed; then full, and sweet, and tender with unspeakable peace. The organ bubbled, and cooed, and whispered its geutle undertone accompan iment. The lovely voice went on its golden way to a diviue close. Aud my heart stirred within me. Tnen the preacher I had been brought to hear stood up and prayed. With his clasped hands thrown out across the Book, and his grave, rugged face raise i, he spoke to God. The face was pale and weary. I had noticed from the first that his head was aching, and he was worn and ailing. He called to God from his own sore heart, with such sim plicity that every heart answered the touch. He talked to the Mau of Sorrows with such sincere and loving directness that we seemed to be with him. The littleness, the levity and unworthi ness moved back. Sore heart and sadly questioning mind found what they sought. Why, there was something pure, untouched, untarnisbable. He gave his life for others; his heart bled for the sins and griefs of hu manity, as even my heart—of all most poor and faulty and erring—bleeds. He eschewed pleasure; he chose sorrow and ignominious death; he lived with grief, and made his grave with the wicked aud rch in his death, out of his unutterable love and pity. In the presence of l his sad and lonely figure, by the light of this supreme sacrifice, I could see to take hope again. Alice MacGowan. THIS LOST WAIF. The Strange Midnight Experience of an x xpress Messenger. From the Detroit Free Press. The night express went thundering out of Hopkinsville, Ky., at 7 o’clock sharp. The passengers had made themselves comfort able, and everything saemed auspicious for a quick and safe return to Nashville, Tenn. Tbe express messenger busied himself about his packages, getting bis car in order, after which, having nothing else to do. he sauntered to the open window and looked out at the rising moon. What a glorious night it was. The full moon came up from be hind the trees and bung over their tops like a ball of fire. How sweet and peaceful everything looked. The thoughts of the young man went back to borne and mother. Wripped in a delightful dream he sank down on the box nearest to him, but sud denly he jumped up in alarm, for he had heard a remarkable sound—a poor faint lit tle voice crying “Papa.” Oh, what a cruel trick for the boy* to play on him. He must find the little one at once. He searched every nook and corner, and looked behind every box, but no baby was to be found. What was he to do? He felt certain that he had heard the voice, and something mustbedon9. Ah, he had it at last. He rung the bell with all his might, aod the conductor came hurridly to know what had happened. The passengers were all excitement; win dows went up, beads were poked out, and every one had a surmise, fully one-half of them thinking it must be robbers. When the conductor returned he told them that the express messenger had heard tbe cry of a child in his car, and he inquired if any child were missing. This threw all mothers present into a panic of fright. But t ey soon recovered when they saw that ail their own darlings were safe, and every woman expressed the greatest sympathy for the little stranger in the express cuv. They even volunteered to go and assist" in the search for the little lost waif, but to this the conductor would not consent. The young man iu the express car was meanwhile doubting the evide ce ot his own senses, for had he not heard the voice? He could swear to it Slowly he sinks down on the same box when, merciful heavens, there was i he voice again, crying “Mamma.” Ah, he has it now. T'be voice cornea from the box. Some heartless mother, perhaps, sending here babe by express. Quickly he cuts the cord and takes off the pasteboard lid. Yes! there it lies, the dear little oul, wi;h its soft curls and snowy dress. He lifts it out tenderly, and then, imagine his surprise—it is a doll—one of Edison's speaking dolls. Every time he sat down on the box be pressed the spring, and then came tbe feeble little wail of “papa.” "mamma,” which had caused so muoh sym pathy and alarm. Lrvr's Bov—Was your papa out in the war? Smad Boy—No, but he wanted to go, and he would have gone if they had needed him. Lunt's Boy—O! Small Boy—Was your papa in the war? Lunt’s Boy—Well, I guess so. If he hadn't been they would be fighting now.—New York [ Sun. M EPICAL.
