THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHING, D. 0., THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1891' 1 THE WEEK IN WASHINGTON. efslnor Matters of Interest In the Capital City. Sunday, Apbil 22. Jobn M.

Thurston, the -well-known orator, brilliant lawyer and distinguished Bepublicau politician of Nebraska, 'arrived to-day. He is a member of the Na-tioual Committee from his State, nd will attend the meeting to bo hold hero this week. Ho was at ono time President of iho National Leaguo of Eepnblican Clubs, and has been prominent at all the National Conventions of his party in recent years. 4Ionday, Atbil 23. E.

Ellory Anderson, ono of the Government directors and one of tho receivers of the "Union Pacific Railroad, was before the House Committee on Pacific Rail-Toad to-day and outlined a plan by which, he believed, tho Government would be guaranteed the debt now duo by the railroad. This was that an issue of $250,000,000 in bonds bo authorized; tho sale of a sufficient amount 'for the benefit of the holders of the first mortgage bonds now in existence; to be taken by the Government in satisfaction of its debf, and tho remaining to bo used for tho settlement of tho remaining indebtedness of the road. Tho McKano caso was reached on the Supremo Court calendar, but in tho abseuce of Mr. Griflen, counsel for the convicted Gravcsend boss, it was not argued. E.

M. Sliepard, representing the prosecution, appeared to oppose tho appeal. Mr. Shepard presented an affidavit from lawyer Griffon, oxplainiug that sis ho had not known nntil Monday that tho rase would bo reached to-day, ho had not prepared a brief. Chief Justice Fuller said that Mr.

Griffen would be given until Friday to file his brief, and that the case would be -disposed of without oral argument. Tuesday, Apbil 24. Mr. Stockdalo has introduced a bill in tho House providing that ono Senator, one Representative and ono lawyer ef the District bo appointed a committee to make a careful revision of tho laws of tho District and formulate a codo of laws for the -District. Wednksday, Apetl 25.

The total strength of the Regular Army to-day, according to tho Department's statistics, is as follows: Cavalry, artillery. infantry, engineer, and other branches of tho service, 12,92. Tho strength of the drilled militia in the various Stages added to this number makes a total of "about 150,000, and the estimate of tho officials, bused on the census figures, is that the whole number of men qualified for military duty in the United State Is about 8,000,000. 27HU sday, Aphil 2G. Counsel for John Y.

McKane filed their briefs in the appeal from the final decision of thoTJuited States Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York, made on March 16, denying 3IcKane's application for a writ of habeas corpus. Counsel insist that there are various prisons in New York where prisoners maybe detained awaiting trial or pending an appeal, where stay of proceedings has been granted, but that Sing Sing isaStato's prison, where couvicts cannot bo held legally except in the execution of sentence. The Natioual Rapid Transit Company, whose scheme was advocated be- foro the Honso Judiciary Committee by Mr. Bcmiihill, ex-Chairman of tho District of Columbia Committee of tho House of Representatives, ask a charter authorizing the construction of an elevated electric railroad between Now York aud Washington. Tho road is to carry passengers, mails aud light freight-cars on each train, and is to cover tho distance in about two hoars, and the passenger rato is not to exceed two cents per mile.

Friday, Apiiii, 27. Judge Bradley to-day overruled the motion of counsel for Representative Breckinridge for a new trial of the celebrated Breckinridge-Pollard suit. Bond was fixed at $100 for an ajipral. which Brcckimidge's counsel gave notice would be taken to the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia. Tho decision of the Court was expected by both parties to tho suit.

In the ordinary course of appeals the cusa cauuot reach the higher court until next Autumn, when it meets after tho Summer recess. Batukday. Apuir. 23. Attorney Ben Butter-worih withdrew the plea of not guilty, and filed demurrer to the indictment in the case of Col.

A.nsworth, charged with responsibility for the killing of more than a score of Government employes in tho Ford's Theater building disaster. i. CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS. Fx-Congressman Joy, without any sighs or tears, and so quietly that fow of his friends ksew of his going, left tho city last week for St. Louis.

"I go, but I return," said Mr. Joy, while an arch fcmile played, over his classic features. "Cataline will not bo iti it with me. I'll come back herewith such a majority as will make even tho heads of Democratic Congressmen swim. There will be no particular reason for having any majority at all next time.

Tho Honso will be Republican, aud if I only got one vote I'll roako a contest. As turn about is nothing but fair play, I would be sure to be Beated." Martin Van Baren Spencer is tho Pension Agout for tho State of Indiana. Not long ago ie took occasion to discharge a lady clerk, the daughter of an Indiana veteran, and appoint his own sister in her place. Tho appointment created a good deal of adverse criticism, and finally Secretary Smith sent word to Mr. Spencer that ho must revoke it, the rule of tho Department being that no Pension Agent could appoint a relative to office.

Upon receipt of this information Mr. Spencer came to Washington, aud in company with Senators Voorliee3 and Turpie and tho member from his district, Mr. McNangy, called upon Secretary Smith. Tho lattor would not yield an inch in his determination, and read Mr. Spencer quite a lecture oa tho evils of nepotism.

In tho course of the convention it appeared that the order of tho Department was dno to tho fact that tho Pension Agent in New York, and as well as the Pension Agent in this city, had provided places Jor relatives, and the Secretary thought that tho practice, instead of being allowed to grow, might as well br nipped in the bud. A staluo of Gcorgo Washington was unvailed on the East Plaza of the Capitol one morning last week. The ceremonies were very simple, and tho only spectators were a handful of workmen and a few pedestrians who happened to he passing tho Capitol Park at the time. Whon the drapery was removed tho statue was found to bo tho familiar old marble imago of tho Father or his Country in the act of playing baseball with Christopher Columbus, the marble giant who stands on the stops in front of the building. Tho statues aro usually covered "with tho American flag while awaiting dedication ceremonials, but the Washington statuo has been concoalcd by a wooden liouse built around it It Is removed every Spring and replaced in the Antnmn, and tho unvailing was the annual Spring removal of the cover, which waa rdored to bo put on by Congress some years ago for tho purpose of protocting tho decaying marblo from tho ravages of tho changeable Yfaahington climate.

During the Winter fcohtbs nine out of ovory 10 visitors to the Capitol ask the guide the same old question "What is that big wooden house for? and tho reply is always tho samo, Oh, that's George Washington's Wintor suit of clothes." William McGarrahan. the long-contending claimant before Congress in tho Pauocho Grande claims case, died at Providence Hospital last week, and his remains wero turned over to Undertaker Lee for interment in Mt. Olivet Cemetery. Ho was 65 years of ago. When he was 29 years of ago ho becamo tho possessor of tho claim to the Panocho Grande ranch in Califor- Wm tA vs.

nia. His right was contested, and the United States sold and delivered this property to tho New Idria Mining Co. This, it was alleged gave Mr. McGarrahan a claim on the United States. This claim ho pursued with varying success.

More than onco he had nearly gained it, whon tho adjournment of Congress or the like took tho prize from his hands. Ho was still striving when, a short time ago, ho was struck down with nervous prostration at the Capitol and carried to tho hospital, where his days wero ended. The sick list of men in and about Congress is reaching remarkable dimensions. Representative Simpson is not yet convalescing. Mr.

Sell crmer horn's condition still excites ttie apprehension of his associates. Representative Brattan, of Maryland, is at I113 home with an organic tronble, which gives no hope of his return to Congress. Representative Graham, of Brooklyn, has never taken his seat, owing to continued illness since his term began. Representative Brown, of Indiana, is still ailing from his recent scrions attack. Representative Wilson, of West Virginia, has about recovered, but cannot resume Congressional duties for many weeks.

There is a surprising nnmborof mon in Congress who have announced their intention of not standing for a re-election. Is thero something in the air that tells theso gentlemen that it is better to retire in tho hey-day of one's success than to face defeat as inevitabloas death and taxes? that unless they want to bo overwhelmed in tho next landslide, they do well to move out of its path while yet thero is lime? The latest member of Congress to decline a renomination is Representative Cobb, of St. Louie. Ho has notified his constituents that he will not re-enter tho race. In I113 letter of declination he makes no statement as to his reasons, but to a reporter ho said that ho had taken this step from considerations for the interests of his family.

Eepresentative Outh-waito, of Ohio, has also determined to make no fight for renomination. Representative Barnes, of Wisconsin, declares that he purposes returning to his practice of law, which business has Buffered from lack of attention. Perhaps it is merely a coincidence that these gentlemen aro nil of the same political faith. Public Printer Palmer will, he announces, resume the profession of journalism when Mr. Beucdictahall have been confirmed, which is a forcgono conclusion.

Thero will be established a daily paper in Syracuse, N. and the principal backer of tho enterprise is Representative James J. Beldcn. That gentleman declined to become one of the stockholders nntil a satisfactory man could bo found to act as General Manager. The names of different persons wero suggested, butin each case something was lacking.

Then he remembered Mr. Palmer, and tho quiet, business-like air which pervaded tho great department over which he has presided. He-decided that Palmer was the man he wanted, and he formally offered him the placo. Compromise is in the air. The adherents of tho tariff bill, as it now stands, aro weakening in tho face of tho array of opponents which faces them.

It begins to look pointedly as if not quly tho income tax feature is doomed to death or mutilation, but other features must be done away with to secure solid Democratic support. Mr. Harris in the Senato Saturday said, in the course of a reply to Mr. Halo: "I have tolerably well-defined opinions about what the tariff policy of the country ought to be. I do not choose at this time to go into tho details of this bill, but I have been ready from the beginning, and am still ready, to compromise conflicting opiuions with brother Democrats, and would bo even willing to compromise conflicting opinions with my friend from Maine if he evinced a determination to como to a reform of tho most vicious and outrageous tariff act that ever afflicted tho country.

I not know what amendments will be offered from this sido or tho other sido. For my single self, as a member of the Finance Committee, and as a member of the Senate, I shall not hesitate one moment to entertain proposi tions, however objectionable, If tho result bo a great reduction of tho duties imposed under tho McKiuloy act." Senator Wolcott has been hanged In effigy at Victoria, a mining-camp in tho Cripple Creek District, with the inscription on his back: "Down with Plutocracy." Tho reason for tho act was the Senator's recent speech on tho Coxoy movement. Thero is very small chance of Mr. C. H.

J. Taylor's being confirmed as Recorder of Deeds. Mr. Taylor, however, is optimistic. He says ho will certainly bo given another placo in tho District.

He declines tospocify the position ho Is to occupy. It is almost certain that it must come through tho Commissioners, and must necessarily be one of minor importance and carrying a reduced salary. Col. Perry Car-sou, a Republican, was formorly Assistant Superintendent of Stroet Cleaning, and it is that Mr. Taylor is booked for this positiou.

And this reminds tho Gossip of a story. Ono of the now rules made by the officials In charge of tho Public Buildings and Grounds, in anticipation of the coming of Coxoy's army, prohibits loafcre aud idlers from occupying the benches in tho rolnnda of tho Capitol. Last Saturday a big policeman, who is a recent addition to the force, got his oyo upon a very black and very fat colored citizen who ho thought had occupied ono of tho benches long enough, and putting his hand on his shoulder, said: "Come, now, you movo on; you've been hero long enough." Tho black man protested that ho was not a tramp, but tho now policeman, proud of hi3 brass buttons, couldn't bo fooled, and replied: "That's all right. I know my business. You havo sat hero for moro than half an hour.

That's tho limit, seo?" and escorted tho sitter out of tho building. Tho unoffending man of color was Charle3 H. J. Taylor, of Kansa3. Representative T.

J. Campbell, of Now York, wants Congress to moot on tho first Monday in March, instead of on tho first Monday in De cember. Mr. Campbell says thero is no senso in having Congress meet 13 months after an election whon tho issue on which tho election was held has probably given way to some other moro vital issue. Ho also thinks it extravagance to pay a member's salary from tho 4th of March when ho does not begin his sorviccs until tho followinc December.

So tho Con gressman has introduced a bill to this effect, which will doubtless be ruled out as unconstitutional or lost in tho wilderness of tho committco room. Delcgato Joseph says tho status of tho bill admitting Now Mexico to Statehood is not helped by tho new quorum-counting rule. This Statehood measure has been delayed for many weeks in order to securo a quorum to pass it. But now that the new quorum-counting rule is secured tho discovery is made that it docs not fit tho New Mexico case. Tho new rulo insures a quorum only on an aye and nay vote.

But tho Now Mexico bill is pending under a special order, made last Dccembor, giviug it tho right of way during tho second morning hour. This requires a vote by tollers, and the now quorum-counting rule doc3 not apply to a vote by tellers. This parliamentary situation makes it impossible to pas3 the New Mexico bill for tho present, and it ateo discloses a weakness in the now rule. It is understood that tho rule will be strengthened to cover the New Mexico case when the appropriation bills aro out of the way. Several snag fortunes lie in the Treasury building here waiting for their owners.

The money is due on bonds long ago called in. Some of them have nover been cashod by thoir holders. On tho "old debt," which ombrnccs all loans made to this Government up to 1837, $121,000 is still owing. Since that date more than $1,000,000 has accumulated, being uncalled for by thejiersons entitled to it, whether through negligence or for other reasons. United States bonds, prosaic enough in them-solves, have been tho key-noto to many a romance.

About 20 years ago $40,000 worth of tho consols of 1865 und 1867 wero stolen in Havana. Tho thief altered them by erasing the name from tho face, aud sold them to ignorant porsons. They' were for $1,000 each. Ever since then they havo been coming into tho Treasury through bank3 and otherwise. Of course, they wero useic33 to tho holders, being registered, and ouly payable to the original owner.

Not long ago a lawyer in Portland, wrote to Washington about one of these bonds. Being, informed that it was no good, he would not give it np, and it was only secured by employing tho secret service. It had been purchased long ago by a sea Captain, who left it to his widow -when ho died. Nearly all of these stolen consols havo been recovered. Fow palaces aro finer than tho dwellings of some public men in Washington.

Tho refei- dtnecs of a score of great politicians hero arod among the most magnificent in tho world. Perhaps tho handsomest of them all belongs to Senator Hale, of Maino, who married Zack Chandler's daughter. It was built by hi3 mother-in-law. Most of the beautiful houses in Washington, it is said, wore paid for. with wives' money.

Tho mansion is. in the colonial 6tyle, fronting 100 feet on Sixtconth atreot, with a courtyard in tho rear. So largo and imposing is it that strangers often mistake it for a public building, The cost of it was $125,000. One of tho most conspicuous dwellings in Washington is that of the late Senator Stock-bridge. This is a latgo houso of brown stone, handsomely carved, with a towbr of red tiles, most elaborately decorated within.

Hard woods are lavishly nscd, and the walls of somo of tho rooms aro adorned with friezes composed, of paintings on canvas. This residence was built by Philetus Sawyer during his period of service as Senator for Michigan. He cared nothing for "style himself, but followed the taBto of his daughter, Mrs. White, who cut a considerable social figure hero. At tho end of his term Sawyer leased tho houso to Stock-bridge, giving an option of purchaso at $125,000.

A good story is told of Stockbridge. Ho made monoy in lumber, and whon hi3 pile had assumed enormous proportions ho put $300,000 of it, at his wife's request, into a palace at Kalamazoo, for which ho had little substantial regard himsolf, being a plain man. Ono day a friend came in to look it over, aud stood open-mouthed at its gorgeousncs3. Suddenly Stock-bridge said very earnestly: "Jim, old man, there's only ono thing I lack a parrot." "A parrot?" replied tho visitor, astonished; "what do you waut with a parrot?" "I'll tell you, Jim," said Stockbridgo. "I want him to perch over tho door and say ovory time I come in, 'Hero comes tho fool who built this In tho Third Ohio Congressional District, where thoro i3 to boa special election soon to fill tho vacancy caused by tho death of Representative Houk, tho struggle is becoming very TOE THE CURE OP Catarrh, Scrofula, Boils, Eczema, Carbuncles, Soros, And ai!

Two yoars ago tlio district was about 4,000 Democratic. Kowi.tho Democrats aro making extraordinary efforts to carry tho district even by the smallest majority.

Iiately es-Gov. Campbell was In Washington to present the caso to tho Frcsidcut, to whom ho said tho district could not bo carried except by a liboral contribution of money; this was sinco Sonator Hill's speech. Tho response, it is said, was a liberal contribution and a promise to stimulato contributions from Domocrrats. Mr. Campbell wont homo oncouraged, but not confident.

Ho ha3 since said ho thought possibly tho district might bo carried, bub by a majority so small thnt tho result would bo a voto of condonmn-tion against tho Administration. The Republicans aro activo and hopeful but tho election of a Republican in tho district would mean a Republican majority in Ohio not much under 100,000. Therefore tho capture of tho district by tho Republicans at this writing seoms improbable. Senator Brico is ono of tho several Union veterans In tho Congressional upper House. Rrico was a Captain of infantry in a fighting corps, too, long hoforo ho was a voter.

Ohio has always been fortunate in its United Stat 03 Sonators. Thoy aro men of dignity and standing among thoir own people. Brico got into the army, tho last turn ho took at soldiering, just in timo to seo tho groatost game of war played this continent over boheld, betweon two of its mightiest masters, Sherman and Johnston. Then tho Twenty-third Corps, in which Brice was, had as its commander a soldier inferior to none, tho present senior Major-Gen-oral of tho United States Array. So Brico's military education was conducted uuder tho most famous masters of his period, and in the best posstblo way tho school of hard, unsenti mental, real war.

Washington 13 to have an oquestrian statuo of Gen. Hancock. Tho dimensions of tho statno aro tho samo as those of Gen. Thomas, lifo aud a half size. Tho figuro of tho General is nine feet, tho horso is 103 inches length of the barrel.

The pedestal is 18 feet high, with rich carving on each side, admirably proportioned, and differing from any other in the city. Tho statuo ro presents the General as ho appeared at Gettysburg, and is a reproduction of tho splendid physique of that distinguished soldier. Tho model was prepared beforo tho death of Mrs. Hancock, who most warmly approved of it aud urged its acceptauco by the Commission. Tho Commission, composed of tho Secretary of W.ir, Senators Proctor, Voorhoes and Cockrell, after months of careful consideration, decided to nccont the model presented by our townsman, Mr.

Henry J. Kllicott. Mr. Ellicott is the artist who designed tho statuo of Gen. McClellun, in Philadelphia; that of Gen.

Spinnor, recently finished, and other pieces of unusual excellence. NAVAL APPROPRIATIONS. Bat No Indorsement of tho Recommendation for Xcw Uiittleshlp. Mr. Cammings, Chairman of tho House Naval Affairs Committee, has submitted to the House the Naval appropriations bill for tho coming fiscal year.

As reported, it carries an appropriation of $25,280,956, being $3,670,313 leas than tho estimates, and an increase of over tho appropriation for the current fiscal year. The report on the bill shows that an increaso of $175,000 is mado in the, appropriation for the pay of the Navy, duo ny tire increaso in enlistments authorized byfthe law of 1893. A decrease of $14,000 is mado in tho appropriation for tho Bureau of Navigation. Tho appropriation for theBuroau of Ordnance is increased by $993,824. That foi thJ Bureau of Equipment is increased $165,000, and for tho Bureau of Yards and Docks Feduced $294,911.

Other minor increases and reductions appear. The appropriations1 for the increaso of tho Navy cover only armor and armament, and construction and machinery. For armor and armament the estimates called for $6,500,000. This tho committee reduced to $4,000,000. Tho largo amount asked for in the estimates is due 'to the face that nothing was allowed for this purpose in the bill for'the' current fiscal year.

total loss of thettKearsargo leaves tho 1-tHartford, Admiral Farragnt's flagship, tho in the Navy, aside from the frigate Constitution, aronnd which historic memories cluster. The committee, in accordance with ho wjshes of tho Navy Department, havo "recommended liberal, appropriations for her preservation and improvement, bclioving that public sentiment demands It. Secretary Herbert recommended, and tho committco Inserted in the bill, a provision providing for tho naturalization of alien sailors and marines on United States vessels who have served five consccutivo years and havo been honorably discharged. Similar provisions for the naturalization of our merchant seamen and of enliBted men in tho Army havo alroady ho-como laws, ami tho committee think thnt thero should be no discrimination against the In reporting tho provision they express the opinion that somo steps should bo taken toward encouraging tho enlistment of American sailors. In accordance with tho recommendation3 of the Secretary of tho Navy, tho committco recommends that ho be authorized to uso for tho construction of ono additional cruiser of tho Vesuvius type tho $450,000 appropriated by tho act of 1889, for tho construction, armament and cquipmont of thieo torpedo boats.

By tho same act $200,000 was appropriated for building a sub-marine boat and conducting experiments with it. The committee recommend that tho Secretary bo authorized to uso this amount for the construction, armament aud equipment of a torpedo boat. They also recommend that the Secretary be given authority to transform the Vesuvius into a torpedo cruiser; a JUDGE LONG'S CASE. Tho caso in equity botween Jndgo Charles D. Long, of Michigan, nnd Commissioner of Pensions Lochren and tho appeal to the Court of Appeals on the decision on the writ of mandamus which was granted by Judge Bradley wore last Friday dismissed without prejudice.

Tho controversy will bo carried to tho Supreme Court of the United States, and neither of tho cases now in issue were in proper form for such an appeal. A now statement of facts will bo prepared soon to be submitted for argument. Tho caso in equity was decided practically against Judgo Long, although an injunction on tho particular notico which was sent him from tho Pension Bureau requesting tho filing of proof to show why his pension should not bo reduced was granted. The writ of mandamus was allowed by Jndgo Bradloy, but it was to bo appealed ou tho question of costs, becauso when the decision was mado tho action prayed for had' been accomplished by tho Commissioner. Neither Judgo LongJ of Michigan, nor his attorney appeared at the Pension Ofiico Monday in accordanco with tho1 notice sont him by tho Commissioner of Ponsions to show cause, within 30 days, why his pension of $72 por month for total disability should not bo reduced to $50 per mouth.

Commissioner Lochren waited from the expiration of tho three, daya' grace at noon until 4 o'clock for the Michigan1 Judgo to put in an appearance in person He then prepared a notification tifat tho time having expired, thopeusion had been reduced to $50 per mouth. a i CODIFYING THE PENSION LAWS. In tho Senate Mr." Palmer has reported a voluminous bill, which has for its purpose tho codification of the pension laws, and is indorsed by Commissioner Lochren, ox-Commissioner of Pensions Dudley, and Assistant Secretary of tho Interior Reynolds. The bill consists of 22 chapters and 190 sections, arranged undor appropriate and BUggcstivo titles, thereby putting in homogeneous form and logical order all the legislation now in force relative to tho pension system. DEATH OF SENATOR STOCKBRIDGE.

Francis Browne Stockbridgo, Sonator from Michigan, died in Chicago Monday night. Francis B. Stockbridgo was born in Bath, April 9, 1S26. Ho received a good common-school education, aud removed to Boston, in 1813. Later ho built up a flourishing lumber business, residing sinco 1863 at Kalamazoo.

He served as Colonel of Michigan militia, and in tho Stato Legislature. In 1886 ho was elected as a Republican to tho Uuited Stato3 Senato, succeeding Senator Cougor, aud taking his Boat March 4, 1837. Ho waa re-elected iu 1693. 3 SETTER. Elizabeth was vain.

Of that thoro is no doubt. She was a great Queen, wiso and liberal, but sho was hot-tempered, used swearwords, and was conceited. Historians put iltbatamong her many strong masculine qualities of intellect and character sho bad tho feminino weakness of inordinate vanity. Right here it is well toromomber how easily old Canute was mado to boliovothat ho could make tho oceau backup at his command; to think of Louis whoso court developed into a world-renownod school for flattery; and Elizabeth's successors, James I. aud Charles who aro recorded as having turned most willing oars to soft speeches and hyperbolic praises.

But to return to Elizaboth and her feminino weakness. Sbaksporo thought best to sing her praises, and sacrificed whatever regard ho may havo had for truth by picturing her as being "In maiden meditation fancy free" the woman who wa3 courted by Loicester, who flirted with the Spaniard and Catholic; Phillip of Spain; and gave heed to the suit of tho Duko of Anjou. But sho liked to bo spoken of a3 being "fancy-froo." Spencer speaks of her "angel face," although it was heavy, masculine, and unattractive Drayton wrote of her: Of silver was her forehead high; Her brotva two bowa of ebony. Her tres303 trussed wero to behold Frizzled and fiuo in fringed gold. Two Hp3 wrought out of ruby rock.

Like leaves to shut mid to unlock; As portal door to Princes' chamber, A golden tongue in mouth of amber. And several moro verses. "A golden tongue in mouth of ambor" soems a good place to stop. Whether ho received any reward for hi3 sweet praises is not stated. Raleigh languishing in the tower, and wishing to got out, wroto to a friend (relying on tho friond to show tho letter) that the greatest rai3ory of all was in being unable to behold the Qtioen.

"I who was wont to behold her riding like Alexander, bunting liko Diana, walking like Venus, the gentle wind blowing her fair hair about hor cheeks, liko a nymph (Elizabeth then was cvory bit of 57 years old) sometimes singing like an angel, sometimes playing liko Orpheus." It is very hard to tell just-about how much Elizabeth or auy other woman would boliove about her own beauty, but that she was right well pleased with herself is shown by hor remark to Melville, tho Scottish Ambassador: Which may be the tailor, your Quoen (Mary Qnecn of Scots) or "Mary is the taller," ho answered. "Then she is too high, for I myself am neithor too high, nor too low," modestly an-sworcd Elizabeth. A Summer silk gown is shown that is of black silk with a small bluo flower scattered over it. The collar is of black velvet, edged with a full ruffle of palo-bluo chiffon. The full sleeves aro finished at tho wrists with velvet cuffs turning back and wide 'chiffon ruffles falling over tho hands.

A Parisian journal is devoted to the interests of mothers-in-law to defend them against unkind criticism and to uphold their social Interests.

The following articles are promised for future numbers: "Young and Coquettish Mothers-in-law," "Tho Beautiful Mothers-in-law," "My Second young man fond of his wife's mother), "How to Make Mothers-in-law Useful Around tho House." Tho White Honso pansie3 Mrs. Cleveland's favorites aro all in blossom. Thero are borders of tho yellow and white and purple flowor-facos near the sheltering walls, and thoy beam and nod and smile on every passerby who looks at them. Tho jewel for May is the emerald, according to the commonly-accoptcd arrangomont, and it brings to tho wearor charity, hope and abundance. Tho Greeks gavo June this bright jewel, and in tho Biblical arrangement it com 03 fourth.

It is Saint John's stone in Christian art, where symbols are used. Thoro is a stono to roprcsont each Apo3tlc, according to the vcrsc3 in tho 21st chapter of St. John's Revelations. And tho foundations of tho wall of tho city wero garnished with nil manner of precious stones. Tho first foundation wns jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; Tiia fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, cryaolite, tho eighth, beryl; tho ninth, a topaz; the 10th, nchrysphrnsus; the 11th, a jacinth; the 12th, an amethyst.

So, according to this, jasper Is takon to roprcsont tho strong faith of Peter, tho rock of tho Church; tho bluo sapphiro best exprcssos St. Andrew's bright faith emerald, John's gentleness; the amothyst is Matthew's stone, and tho carnclian tho Biblical sardius Bartholomew's. Vests or, moro properly, waistcoats aro being worn with tho tailor-made Spring costumes. Red or black vests, or silk and wool ones, with a tiny brocaded figuro to match the, frock aro oftenest seen. Thero are somo fashions that cannot easily bo followed, and tho waistcoat is ono that must go through the tailor-shop to come forth properly.

In all extremely-mannish styles tho same necessity prevails. Waistcoats, Prince Albert coats, stiffened shirts and high collars and ugly hats must all be tailor-finished to be stylish. And after all the trouble thoy are not pretty. Tho boyish styles, shirt-waists, soft ties, wide-brimmed sailor hats and jackets with more than two pockets aro easily made becoming to women and are, therefore, oftcner seen. There are women who carry cane3, slenderer counterparts of man's walking-sticks, but the womovdo not carry them prettily.

Men say that women have no use for vails that wearing them is simply an affectation or a desire toartially hide their complexions or dimple3. This, too, notwithstanding the arguments that vails aro a slight protection against the wind and dust and that thoy keep tho hair iu place and in curl on windy days. However, woman in general has as much use for vails us the man in general has for his walking-stick. Probably not a tenth part of tho men who carry canes use them to assist walking. Red paTasoh protect tho face moro than those of any other color.
