THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
[Continued from lit page.]
The absolute necessity, judged by all stan
dards of prudence and foresight, of our prop
nratiou for an effoctiial resistance against the
armored ships and stool guns and mortars of
modern construction which may threaten tho
cities of our coasts, is so apparent that I ho; e
effective steps will bo taken in that direction
Immediately.
The valuable and suggestivo treatment of
this question by the Secretary of War :s ear
nestly commended to tho consideration of the
Congress
In September and October last tho hostile
Apaches who. under the leadership of Heron-
itio, had for eighteen months been on the war
path, and during that time had committed
many murders and been tho cause of con
stant terror to the settlers of Arizona, sur-
rended to General Miles, the military com
mander who succeeded General Crook in tho
management aud direction of their pursuit.
Under the terms of their surrender as then
reported, and in view of tho understanding
which these murderous savnges seemed to
entertain of tho assurances given them, it
was considered host to imprison them In su h
manner as to prevent their ever engaging in
such outrages again, iustead of trying th >m
for murder. Fort Pickens having been solo t-
cd ns a safe place of, confinement,all the adult
males were 'Out thither and will l» closoiy
guarded as prisoners. In the meantime tho
rcsiduoof tuoband.who, thou jh still remain
iiig upon tho reservation, wero re
garded ns unsafe, nml susjieoted of furnish
ing alii to those on tho war path, hnd been
removed to Fort Marion. Tie women and
larger children of the hostilos were nlso
taken there, and arrangemeu's have boon
made for putting tho ehildron of propor ngo
in Indian schools.
THE NAVY tlEPARTMENT.
The roport of the He -rotary of tho Navy

Third.—Twentv-soven cruising ships, tbreo
of which nro built of iron, of small tonnage,
nnd twonty-fonr of wood. Of these wooden

All tho vessels heretofore authorised nro

Tho reduction of the rate of letter postage
in 1883, rendering tho postal revenues inn In-
quate to sustain tho expenditures, and I usl-
ness depression nlso contributing, resulted in
nn excess of cost for tho lis'al year ondod June
Hi, 1885, of eight undone third millions ol
dollars. An additional check upon receipts
by doubling tho measuro of weight in int ng
sealed correspoudou o and diminish ng
one half tho charge for newspaper carriage
was imposed by legislation,which toms Direct
with tho beginning of tho past fiscal year:
wiiilo tho constant demand of our territorial
development and growing population forths
extension and incroaso of mail facilities ami
machinery, no-essitatos steady annual ad
vauco in outlay; and the careful estimate of
a yoarngo U|*>n the rntosof expenditure then
existing, contemplated tlio unavoidable aug
mentation of the defldedncy in the last fiscal
year by nearly $3,000,000. " Tho anticipated
revenue for tho last yoar failod of realization
by about #01,00); but propor measures ol
economy have so satlsfa-toril v limited the
growth of expendituro that tho total djll-
(iency, in fact, fell below ttiat of IKH5; aud
at this time the increaso of rovenuo is in a
gaining ratio over tho in roaso of cost, de
monstrating tho sufficiency of tlio nresant

more costly sorvlce, than any othor uoou tho
globe.
Kctren Ument has been ofToeted in tho cost
of supplies, s mu ox)ienditiires unwarranted
by law have ceased, and the outlays for mail
carriage have boon subjected to beneficial
scrutiny. At the close of the last 11s ul year
the expense of transportation on star routes
stood at an nnmiril rate of cost less by ovo: -
folKl,(»!) than at the clora of tiro previous
year; and steamboat and mail-messenger
service at nearly $300,000 less.
'J ho service lias been in the menntimo en

and additions to the railway mail facilities,

THE DEPARTMENT OP JUHT1CE.
The conduct of tho Department of Justico
for tho last fiscal year it fully detailed in the
report of the Attorney-General, and I in
vito tho earnout attention of tlio Congress to
llio same, and duo consideration of tlio rec
ommendations therein contulno I.
In tho report submitted by this officer ti
tho last session of tlio Congress he strongly
recommended tho oro tion of a penitentiary
for tho confinement of prisoners convicted
and sentenced in tho Unite 1 States courts;
nnd ha repeats tho recommendation in bis
roport for the lust year.
This is a matter of very groat importance
and should at once receive congressional a -
tion. United States prisoners uro now < on-
fined in more than thirty different Statu
prisons nnd penitentiaries scatteroil in every
part of tho country. They aro snbjo ted to
nearly as many different modes of treatment
nnd dis ipliiio nnd nro fur too much removed
from tho control and regulation of the gov
ernment. So far as they aro entitled to hu
man treatment and an opportunity for im
provement and reformation, the government
is responsible to them and society that those
things are forthcoming. Hut this duty can
scarcely be discharged without more absolute
control nnd direction than is possiblo under
tho present system.
THE INDIAN QUESTION,
The exhibit made of the condition of our
Indian population nnd tho progress of the
work of their enlightenment, notwith.tan 1-
iug tho many embarrassments which hinder
the better administration of this important
b unch of tho service, is u gratifyiug and
hopeful one.
The funds appropriated for tho Indian ser
vice for the fiscal year just passed, with the
available income from Indian laud aud trust
moneys, amounting in all to $7,850,77.7. Id,
were ample for tlio service under tlio condi
tions audj-estrictions of laws regulating thuir
expenditure. There remained a balance on
hand on June 3;), 18SC, of $l,f!00,033.30, of
which $1,337,708.21 are permanent funds for
fulfilment of treaties and otherliko purposes,
nnd ihe remainder, $333,0.75.0!), is subject to
ho carried to the surplus fund ai required by
luw.
The estimates presented for appropriations
for tho ensuing fiscal year amount to $7,003,-
873.04, or $443,380.30 loss than those laid Do-
foro the Congress lost yoar.
d\ ith an anxious desire to doviso sonio
plan of operation by which to seouro the
welfare of tho Indians, and to relievo tho
treasury as far as possible from tho support
oh un idle and dependent population, 1 re om-
meuded in my previous annual message tho
passage of a law authorizing tho appoint-
ment of a commission as an instrumentality
auxiliary to tlioso already establish d, for
tho care of the Indians. It was designed
that this commission should he composed
of si x intelligent and capable i erso is
—•throe to be detailed from tho army
having practical idea. upou the sub e a of
the treatment of Indians, aud interested m
tlieir welfare; and that it should bo charged
under the direction of the Secretary of the
Interior, with the management of such mat
ters of detuii as cannot with tho pro-en tor-
un
noted, nnd which present different phases,
as the Indians themselves differ, In their pro
gress, needs, disposition an i en; n -ity for
improvement or immediate s df support.
By the aid of such a commission much m-
wise mid use'essoxjien liture- f money, w-a-to
of materials mid unavailing efforts migh b -
avoided, ami it is hoped that this or sumo
measure which tho wisdom of Congress may
better devise, to supply tho deficiency of tho
present system, may receive your considera
tion, an 1 the appropriate legislation lie pro-
vid si.
The time is ripo for the work of such an
agency.
'There is less opposition to tho education
and training of tho Indian youth, as shown
by the increased attendance upou tue schools,
aiid there is a yielding tendonev for tho in
dividual holding of lands. Development
xud advancement in thoso directions nro
essential, and should h ive every encourage
mout. As the rising generation are taught

Habits of industry, they should assume the
.luties, privileges nml ro.qkiusil>illtie! ol

No obstacle should hinder tli > location nnd
settlement of any Indian willing to take Inn i
in severalty; on the contrary, the in -Imatioii
to do so should be stimulat. il at all times
when proper and expo lieut. But tliore is no
authority of law for making allotments on
some of the reservations, an I on others t a
allotments provided for nn- so sinnll th I the
Indians, though ready and desiring to with
down, nre not willing to n -eept su h sme.il
areas, whon tlieir reservations contain ample
lands to afford thorn homesteads of sti ll lent
size to meet tholr present and future needs.

and treaties should bo corrected and rone

ners of the different tribos mny bo settlod

THE PENSION BUREAU*
Tlio roport of tho Commissioner of Pensions
contains a detailed ami most satisfactory ox-
hibit of tho operations of tho Pension Bureau
during the last ffscal year. Tho uiuouiit of
work douo was tho largest in any year since
tho organization of the Bureau, and it has
boon done at loss cost than during tho previ
ous year in every division.
On tho 30th day of Juno, 1830, there wore
305,783 pensioners on tho rolls of tho liuroau.
Hinco 1301 thoro have 1 ojii 1,018,737 appli
cations for iwiisions fllod, of which 78,814
were based upon service in the wnr of 1813.
There wero 031.764 of thoso applications .al
lowed, including 00,178 to tlio soldiers of
1813 and their widows.
Tho total amount paid for ]>enxloui si nro
1801 is $308 034,811.57.
Tlio numbor < f now pensions allowed dur
ing the year ended Juno 30, 1880, is 40,857—a
largor number than has boen allowed in any
year savo one siuco 1801; the uamos of 3,33d
pensioners which had boen previously
| dropped from tho rolls wero restored during
the year, aud, after deducting those dropped
within tue snmo time for various causes, a
net increaso remains for the your of 30,058
names.
From January 1,1801, to Docombor 1, 1885,
1,007 private pension acts had boon passed.
Since the last-mentioned date, and during
tlio last session of the Congress, 014 such acts
lie -time Jaws.
Itsoonis to me that no ono can exnmlnoour
pension establishment aud its operations,
without being convinced that through its in
strumentality justice can lio very nearly done
to ull who are outitlod uudor present laws to
tho pension bounty of tlio government.
But it is undeniable that cases exist, well
entitled to relief.iu which tbe Pension Bureau
is poworless to aid. The really worthy i ases
of this class are such as only lack by mlsfor-
tuno tlio kind or quantity of proof which the
law nml regulations of tho bureau ro |uiro, or
which, though thuir morit is apparent, for
somo other reason cannot lie justly dealt
with through gouorul laws. Tlioso con
ditions fully justify application tojUio Con
gress uud special ouactmeuts. But resort
to tlio Congress for a special pension
act to ovorrulo the deliberate and care
ful determination of tho Pension Bu
reau on tho merits or to socuro favorable
action when it could not be expected under
the most liberal execution of gouorul laws,
it must lie admitted, open the doors to the
allowance of questionable claims, aud pre
sents to tho legislative aud executive
branches of the government applications
concede iiy not w ithin tlio law and plainly
devoid of morit, but so surrouunded iiy sen
timent aud patriotic feoling that they are
hard to rodst. 1 suppose tout it will not ho
denied that many claims for pension aro
mndo without morit, und that many have
beon allowed upon fraudulent representa
tions. This has been declared from tho Pen
sion Bureau, not only in this, but in prior ad
ministrations.
Thu useful ness mul tho justice of any system for
tlic distribution of pensions depend upon the equal
ity und uulforniily of its operailou.'
It will be Been from the report of tlie commis
sioners Unit there nre now paid by the government
131 dllleront rules of pension.
Ho estimates, from the best information be
can obtain, that nino thousand of tlioso who
tiuvo served in tho army aud navy of iho l'lil
ted States are now supported, in whole or In part
'rom public funds by organized charities, exclusive
if those in soldiers’ homes under tbe direction and
loutrol of tho government. Only 13 per cent, of
ibese aro pensioners, while of the eutiro nunibor of
men rurmuned Tor cue lain wur somethin;' ,iko a j
percent., including their widow* nml relative*,
have been or now are in the receipt of petition*.
The American people, with a patriotic and grate
ful regard for our ex-solrilers—too broad and too
eucrod to bo monopolized by any special advocate*
—are not only willing but anxious tint equal and
exact justice should be done to all honest claim
ant* for pensions. In their sight tho friendless and
destitute soldier, dependent on public charity, if
othei wise entitled, lias precise 1 v tho some right to
share in the provision made for thoso who
fought tlieir country's battle a as tlioso better
able, through friends and Influence, to push their
claims. Every pension that is grume i under our
present plan upon any other grounds than actual
service and injury or disease incurred in such ser
vice, and every instance of the many in which pen
slons are increased on other grounds than tlio mer
its of the claim, work nn Injustice to the brave air
cripple I, but poor nnd friendless sold er, who is on
tirelv neglected or who must be content with tbe
smallest stun allowed under general laws.
There aro far too many neighborhoods In which
are found glaring cises of inequ dity of treatment
in tho matter of pensions, and they are largely dm
to a yielding in the pension bureau to importunity
on the part of those, other than tho pensioner, wlr
nro especially interested, as they arise from spccia
acts passed for the beuoilt of indiv duals.
The men who fought aide by side should stand
Bide by side when tuey participate in a gratefu
cation's kind iemcmhrancc.
Every consideration or fdrncsa nnd justice to
ojr ex-Holdlera, and tho protection of the patriotic
instinct of our cltizons from perversion and viola
tion, point to t he adoption of a pension system
broad and comprehensive enough to cover, every
the service, the allowance of pensions should he
restricted to cases presenting those features.
Every patriotic heart respond* to n tender con
sideration for thoso who, having served their
country lortg and well, are reduced to destitution
and dependence, not as nn incident of their service,
but with advancing ago or through sickness or
misfortune. Wo are all tempted by tho contem
plation of such a condition to supply rolief, and
nro often Impatient of tho limitations
of public duty. Yielding to no one
In tho deslro to indulgo this feeling of
consideration, I cannot rid myself of the conviction
thnt If these ex-soldiers arc to he relieved, they nnd
their cause aro entitled to tho benefit of an enact
ment, under which relief mar bo claimed as n right
and that such relief mny ho granted under the
sanction of law, not In evasion of It ; nor should
such worthy objects of care, all equally entitled, be
leumUu to the unequal operation of svmpathv, or
the tondor mercies of social and political influence
with their unjust discriminations.
The discharged soldiers and snilor* of the country
are our follow citizens nnd interested with us In
the passage nnd faithful execution of wholesome
laws. They cannot ho swerved from their duty of
citizenship by artful appeals to their spirit of
brotho-hood born of common peril nnd suffering
nor will lhw exact, as a test of devotion to their
welfare, a willingness to negloct public duty In their
behalf.
TUB PATENT OPPICB.
On the 4th of March, 1885, tho current business
of tho Patent Office was, on an average, flvo nnd a
half months In arrears, and. in several divisions,
more than twelve months behind. / t tbe close of
the last fiscal year such work was but three months
in arrears, and it i* assorted nnd believed that in the
next few months tho delay in obtaining an exami
nation of an application for a patent will bo but
nominal.
'i h'* number of applications for patents during
the Inst fis al yoar, Including reissues, designs,
trade marks and labels, equals 40,<178, which Is coii-
ildurably in exc.'ss of tLo number received during
any preceding year.
The receipts of the patent office during tho year
aggregate $1,<208,167.80, enabling tho office to turn
into tho treasury t surplus revenue, over aud above
all expenditures, of about $10:’.,710.H0.
The tiumbor of patents granted du Ing the last
fiscal yoar, Including reissues, trademark*, designs
and labels was 25,0)0—h number also quito largely
In excess of that of any proceeding year.
Tlio report of tho Commissioner shows tho offlco
to ho in a prosperous condition and constantly In
creasing in Its business. No incroisoof forco is
asked for.
'I ho amount estimated for the fiscal yo ir ending
Juno :to, 1880, was $890,760. Tho amount estimated
tor tho year ending June 80, 1SS7, $858,990. Tho
amount estimated for tho flfcil yuir onding June
B0, $778,770.
TUB LAQO11 BUtlEAU.
Tho relations of labor to capital and of laboring
men to their employers aro ot the utmost concern
toovery patriotic citizen When these are strained
and distorted, unjustifiable claim* are apt to be in
sisted noon tiy both interests, and in tho contro
versy which results, the welfare of all and the pros
perity of the country aro jeopardized. Any inter
vention of tlio general government, within tho
limit of tho constitutional authority, to avert such
a condition, should bo willingly accorded.
In a special massage transmitted to the Congress
at Its last session 1 suggested tho enlargement of
our present labor bureau and adding to Its present
functions tho power of arbitration in cases where
differences arise between omployor and employed.
When these differences reach Mich a stage as to
result In tho Interruption of comtncrco between tho
States, tho application of this remedy by the gen •
oral government might bo ro^arded as entirely
within Its constitutional powers. And I think wo
might reasonably hope that such arbitrators, If
carefully selected, and If ontitled to the confidence
of tho parties to bo affected, would bo voluntarily
callod to tho settlement of controversies of less ov-
tont and not necessarily within tlio domain of Fed
eral regulation.
I am of tho opinion that this suggestion is worthy
the attention or tho Congress.
Hut after all lias beon done by tho paseago of
laws either Federal or Btato to relievo a situation
full of solicitude, much more romatns to bo accom
plished by tlio reinstatement and cultivation of a
true American citizenship. This, in th ? light of our
traditions nnd In loyalty to tho spirit of our Institu
tions, would teach that a hearty co-operation on
tho part of all Interests is tho surest path to na
tional groatness and the happiness of all our
peoplo, that capital should, In recognition of
the brotherhood of our cUlzontdrp aud In a splr.t
of American fairness, gonorously accord to labor
Its Just compensation and consideration, nnd that
contented labor is capital's best protection nnd
faithful ally. It would teach, too, thnt tho diverse
situations of our people are inseparable from our
civilization, that every citizen should, In his sphere,
bo a contributor to tho genoral good, that capital
does not nocosaarlly tend to tno oppression of
labor, nnd that violent disturbances and disorders
alienate from their promo.ors true American sym
pathy and kindly fueling.

end ttiat such a remedy as tho limits of a Constitu
tional delegation of power to tho general govorn-
mont will permit.
I commend to tho consideration of tho Congrosi
tho report of the commissioner nnd his suggestions
concerning tho interest Intrusted to his euro.
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Tho continued operation of the law relating to
our civil service h is uddod tho most convincing
proofs of its necessity and usefulness. It is a fuel
worthy of note that overy public officer who ha* a
just Iclea of his duty to the people testifies to the
value of tills reform. Its staunchest friends nr<
found among th >so who understand It host, nnd its
warmest supporters aro ttiopo who aro restrained
and protected by its lequlroments.
Tho meaning of such rostra, it nnd protection In
uot appreciated by those who want place* under the
government, regardless of merit mid efficiency, not
by- thoso who insist that tho selection for such
places sliCmld rest upon a proper credential shew
ing active partisan work. Th *y mean to public of-
tlcers, If not their lives, the only opportunity af
forded them to attend to public business, and they
mean to tho good people of the country the butt r
performance of tlio work of their government.
it is exceedingly strange that iho scope nnd na
ture of this reform are so little understood, and
tlmt so many tilings not included within its plan
are culled by its name. When cavil yields mort
fully to examination tho system will have lurge
additions to tho number of its frichids.
Our civil servlco reform may bo Imperfect
in somo of it* details; it mny be misun-
derstood and opposed; it may not always be
faithfully applied ; its designs may sometimes mis
carry through mistake or wilful intent; it may
comotlmes tremble under the assaults of encmiei
Dr languish under tho misguided zeal of Impractica
ble friends, but if the people of this country ovei
submit to tho bnnishmeut of It* underlying princi
ple from tlie op^rnMon of their government, they
will abandon the surost guarantee of the safety uuC
success of American institutions.
I invoke for this reform tho cheerful nnd un
grudging support of tho (’ongross. I renew my
recommendation made la*t year that tho ealnrlct
of the commissioners be made equal to other offi
cers of the governinani having like duties and re
sponsibilities, und I hopo that such reason • blc ap
pro, nations may bo made us will enable them to
Increase tho usefuluet* of tho cause they lmvo it
charge.
TUB FREEDMAN'S SAVINGS HANK.
I desire to call tlio attention of the Cougress to <
plain duty which the government owes to the de
positors of tho Freedman’s Savings and Trust Com
pany
TnU company was charted by tho Congrosi
for tho benefit of the most illiterate and hum
ble of our people, and with tlie intention ol
encouraging In them industry und thrift. Most
of its brandies were presided over by officers hold
ing the commissions and clothed in the uniform ot
the Uuitod Status. Thoso and other clreumstnn es
reasonably. I think, led these simple people to sup
pose that tho invitation to deposit their hard-
earned savings in this institution implied an under
taking on tho part of thdr government :hat theii
money should be safely kept for them.
When this company failed it was liable in till
sum of $2,939,926 22 to 01,131 dopoB tora Divi
dends amounting In the aggregate to 62 per cent
have bo n declared, and the sum called for ane
paid of such dividends st-e ns to be $1.618,*81.72
This sum deducted from tho entire amount of do
posits leaves $1,201,7-14.60 still imp lid. Hast oxpo
rienco has shown that quite a largo part of this sun
will not bo culled for. There are assets stlil oi
baud amounting to the estimated sum of $16,000.
I think the remaining 88 per cent, or such o!
theso doposits ns have claimants Should be paid by
tho government, upon principles of equity auc
fairness.
The report of the commissioner, soon to be lak
before Congress, will give more satisfactory detail!
on tho subject.
In conclusion, I earnes ly invoke stick wise nc
tion on the part of the people’s legislators as wil
subserve tho public good and demonstrate durlus
the remaining days of tho Congress ns at present
organized its ability nnd Inclination to po meet the
people's needs that it shall be gratefully remem
berod by an expectant constituency.
A Delicate Compliment.
“Mrs. Dearmont, of Chicago, and Mrs.
Waldo, of RoSton, are to lunch xvith mo
to-day," said a lady to herhusband, ‘-but
I hardly know what to,givc them.”
“I .would suggest," replied the hus
band, “that a delicate compliment to
both ladies would be a dish of pork and
beans."—New York Sun,
Women Ushers.
A lady correspondent writing from
l’nris notes with lntoio-t how in Europe
women (ill positions which in America
a:o reserved for men. It is a woman—
uot a man—who ushers you to your sent
in the hippodrome, places a eomfortab o
stool at your foot, for which sho returns
to co’loct n gratuity half un hour later.
In many ot the theut es women have
chn go of the siilo of scats in tho box-
office. They wear dainty white muslin
caps with great red or blue satin bows
on t inn, mid in their mat gowns add
iii ielf to tho decorative effect. If you
drop thu smallest article they will restore
it to you. .lust boforo leaving tho tlioa-
tre the ot'.or evening ono of the hdlcsin
our party d’seoyerou thnt die hnd lost
her eye glasses. “You will find them at
the box-office," said thu young lady who
had brought us our foot-toois. The
owner was rejoiced, for, as she hnd'been
promonndiug in the f yor, sho supposed
tlie glasses had been trampled upon. Tho
saying: “Nothing is ever lost in l’nris,"
fell into iff her case.
Uui'don Bonrera' ol' Morocco.
I trust it will bo pardoned mo if, with
but slight transition, 1 pass from ,tlia
donkey of Morocco to the women there
of. Those who know Tangier will un
derstand tlmt theio is no discourtesy in
tended against tho sex which, in Europe,
wo are apt to call thu weaker, but which
lie o shares with these other patient
creatures, the ass and tho camel, the
benring of all burdens. If you walk
along tho bay at Tangier (which, by tho
way, is ono of thu most splendid stiands
imaginable), you will meet drove! of
womon each carrying enormous bundles
of grass or charcoal for market; tho haik
covers thoir heads and their burdous,
tko weight of which is usually further
supplemented by a baby in a kerchief,
slung po.ich-wisc abo.it hor somewhere
who.o thoro is room. This tra't, which
almost seems borrowed from tho kanga
roo, is tlio invaiiuble way of carrying a
baby, and tho women work und wash,
wearing thoir babies in this marsup’ul
fashion as naturally as somo primitive
Australian auimnl would, did it but work
and wash; and iu the streets, too, under
thowliito huiks of tbe townswomen, ono
bees bulging out thu littiu skulls of in
fants, as in Urmnybrook,iu tho old days,
-when tho crowns of overtaken royolcrs,
showing through tho canvas tents, be
came irresistible spheres of attraction to
passing shillulalis. But to return to our
women, who are trudging along tho
sands, perhaps eight or ten together—•
perhaps it is a family parly, a husband,
wife and daughter, in which caso thero
is generally a donkey who shares tho
load! pretty fairly with tho two ladies,
except that ho has tho furtlur privilogo
of carrying their mutual lord and mas
ter, who sits up between tbe gruss-woyen
baskets with a dignified unconsciousness
of any calls of gallantry. Indeed, I be
liove the'lndios would feel it utterly un
befitting and indecent wero their posi
tions reversed, nnd I believe thnt oven
the donkey bred in Mohammedan usages
would resent it. I think I have only
oiu-o seen a country-woman riding white
one of tlie nobler sox walked, but in this
caso sho wns evidently too old to got
homo otherwise.
Fashion Notes.
Plush is tho fuvorito material for man
tles, visitesand pelerines.
Golden rod yellow is a dense but beau
tiful sbado which promises to be worn
this season very generally.
Bended tabliers nnd pattern robes with
beaded embroidery in different ‘colors
nre shown as a new and favorite stylo.
Breton jackets are soon on somo of tho
most stylish every-day costumes in cloth
for young ladies und children as well.
Green is essentially a summer color
and little if any will bo worn tlie winter
season, except, perhaps, myrtlo green.
Hecamier curls are still tho favorito
dressing of the front hair, the straight
bang being too severe for many faces.
The fashion of grout extravagance iu
floral decoration lms gone by, except for
weddings and such elaborate occasions.
Colored linings aro in high vogue
striped and figured Bilks in bright colors
being largely employed for this purpose.
A long gauntlet cuff is worn with
puffed sleeves reaching half way up the
arm. An epaulet ut tno shoulder carries
out the.effect.
Prineesso effects are noted in somo of
the bridal toilets, but these iito conlinod
to the front or back, ns tho taste of tho
wearer may dictate.
Wide, low collars, expo ing thethroat,
are to bo worn, and it is predicted in
cc.tnin quarters tlmt high collars nnd full
ruches nre soon to be abandoned,
Wide braids, bands of applique gal
loon, and other border trimmings' are
used on the bottom of the skirt as .well
as to form panels b:i frocks of cloth,
wool fabric, sicilienne. -and even . plftfn
silk when made up for demi-toilets.
In new mantles wo liavo boen sljown
jackets of frizzly cloth, made tailor-
fasliiiiu, in dark :-hudes of color; travel
ing cloaks of woolen tanglier, long
enough to completely cover tho skirt,
aud mantslettes of bn-ket-work silk, or
silk rep, prettily trimmed with galloon
nnd fnu.ry fringe; these mantles nroquitc
short at the hack, not coming down be
low the waist, and fall in square lappets'
in front.
"A Man Frac Glescfl."
A Glasgow draper, who was narrating
his experiences during hi! first visit to
England, said ho stepped into an Epis
copal Church in the middlo of- the ser
vice just to see what they did, “I hadna
been well seated," be said, “when the
minister, awn’ at the ither end, cried' out,
‘Lord preserve us nil I’ nnd then a’, the
folks nboot me cried, ‘Lord preservo us
all!’ ‘Preservo us!’says I, 'did yo never
see a man frao Glesca afore?’”—Scotch

sweetheart a final kiss nor mother inter
fered and said: “No, Jim, you can’t
kiss Mollie good-bve to-night. I don’t
believe you aro going to Mexico at all.
It is iutt a schomo of yours to corao
around hero and kiss lier good-byo.”
lie caught the stage that night nnd
fought bravely lu Mexico. Years rolled
by and in his broader Hold of life ho
forgot his boyish love. Tho ( ivil War
came and at its closo ho was covered
with glory. Ho is now an Admiral, and
yesterday I was with him at tho Murray
ilill Hotel. 'NYo were walking tho cor
ridor whon a beautiful woman, on the
shady sulo of fifty I should say, with
snow-white hair, pnssed us, nnd stop
ping a little wnv off stood and looked at
tho admiral. Ho is a lino looking old
man, aud is a great favorito with tho
ladles. Ho savy nt onco tho impassion
he had made on tlio lady with tho white
hair nnd said: “I am on old fool, I
know, but I think I’ve mndo a ‘mash’.
Let us stroll by again." As wo passed
tho lady tho admiral beamed upon hor
graciously, but to his amazement sho
walked straight up to him with a silvery
laugh nnd shaking her forefinger nt him
said: “No, Jim, you'ro up to your old
tricks again."
If the roof hnd fallen tho admiral
would have not been so much astonished.
But quickly recovering his self posses
sion ho grasped tho Indy's hand nnd
said ; “Why, bless you, I knew vou from
tho first, and wanted to sco if you re
membered mo."
“Jim, Jim," sho rejoined, " you are
just as bad as over. Why don’t you
grow bettor as you g ow old ? Now
who am 11"
Tho admiral was nonplussed again but
with a grnco, courtesy and, sweetness
thnt 1 liavo never seen equaled ho bowed
and said: “Sly heart romeifibors you,
for my heart is young—but my beud is
old and my hoau forgets.”
“Well," replied the lady, smiling up
at him, “ I am Mnllio B ."
Tlio admiral uttered nn excla ration
of surprlso and stood for a minute look
ing ut the lady. That name had swept
uway forty yenrs with all their changes,
their wars, thoir sufferings nnd .their
honors, and tho admiral was a boy agnin.
I wish you could have seen his Inco.
“And I have not 6een you siuco I went
to the SIcxican Wnr," ho said, “and
your mother would not let ino kiss you
good-byo on tho third night By Jove,
I believe 1*1 take that kiss now.”
“No, nol that is outlawed. Como,
lot mo introduce you to my husband."
By this timo tlio Admiral hnd bo
thought him to introduce mu to the
lady, and wo wero botli presented to hei
husband. We had n pleasant party al
dinner nnd tho Admiral told tho story
of his departure for Mexico just ns 1
have told it to you.

A Good Judge.
Judge William II. Potter, of Mystic,
Conn., was elected over 40 years ago a
school visitor. All tho old schoolteach
ers were examined by him. Ono em
barrassed candidate relates thnt when he
trembled for fear he shculd not pass in
history, it being a new study, tho exam
iner very gravely said: “ Now, sir, I am
going to give you a pretty severe exami
nation lu history, but I shall put ynii tho
hardest questions first.” This scfired
the candidate almost out of his wits, but
when he wis asked “ Who was tho first
man i" tho candidate lnughed aloud and
answored all questions readily there
after. The theory of the examiner was
founded on his observation that if you
can excite laughter, embarrassment dis
appears, and the candidate is reassured
nnd will show nnd do his bost. Mr.
Potter, having just passed his seventieth
year, has declined to sorve longer on the
Board of Visitors.
