Mrs. A. L. STEWART, in answer to q
friend who asked her why she dressed so
plainly, replied: III can afford to do SOP
Erchange.
That is the solution of the problem. "A
person who is known to be wealthy will be
courted and respected even in rags. BY
the inverse ratio of our poverty must we
strive to appear respectable. The poor
must make up in appearances what they
lack in their bank accounts. A lady of
known wealth may wear dollar jcwelry,
and her articles of virtue will pass for pure
gold and real diamonds, while the pure
gold and real diamonds worn by one Of re-
puted poverty will be under suspicion.
The idea is as old as the world, and Shak-
speare expresses it in the simple words of
Hamlet to his mother, "Assume virtue
if you have it not.n Mrs. Stewart, the
wife of the millionaire, can afford TO dress
in plain calico; but the wife of q poor,
briefess barrister must appear in satin,
even though her husband go without his
dinner, if she would hold her position in
society. 1t may be all wrong, but it is one
of the ways Of the world, and we cannot
alter it. ,..,

Japan that the national food is fish,. There

Japs do not eat, even sharks, and the uglier
the more appetizing. And most OF the flsh

to market in water tubs, and the fishermen
keen huge bamboo water fish tank on

throw the creatures that they haul up, or

POLITICAL NOTES.

SPEAKING Of Presidential prospects, the
Cleveland (0hio) Herald says: $3.50
If we had o man looming, head and
shoulders, above the common level OF
statesmen, we should prefer such man,
nominated on the one-term principle, to
President Grant. But the naked truth is,
that never, in the history of politics, were
statesmen so uniform in stature as are our
leading men Of to-day. We have men of
talent, men Of clear views, men Of integ-
rity. But there is no living Webster or
living Clay. And if there were, no such
man could be elected President. There is
no one Republican to whom the eyes of the
masses of the party instinctively turn |;
the number of candidates is legion, and
put Gen. Grant out Of the list, no man
could guess who would be the lucky-or
unlucky--man. QHaNEuH THIGHS
The Albany Journal feels confident OF
the overwhelming defeat of Tammany in
the next election in New York. The lies
which the Democracy have set in circula-
ton are met in this manner.
1t is not true that the Republican party
of this State is divided into factions. Much
Of the prevalent talk on the subject grossly
misrepresents the fact. 1t exaggcrates the
noisy and passionate clamor of a few busy
bodies into the insensate contention of a
great party. 1t mistakes the acrid wrang-
ling of selfish camp-followers for the per-
vading dissensions of the grand army. The
mass of Republicans are true, faithful and
patriotic. They are not factionists them
selves, and have no sympathy with faction
al feuds. Whatever their personal prefer
ences and affiliations in relations where
these are perfectly legitimate, they suffer
no pei sonal questions to impair their higher
party obligations. The real factionists are
as scanty in numbers as they are obstreper-
Gus in their clangor. The party is not a
factional organization. No journal which
faunts the banner of faction can
serve as fair representative or
gan. The masses who have fought
the field against slavery and rebellion
will not syinpathize with the one or follow
the guidance of the other. They will net
suffer the party to he dwarfed to the pro-
portions of a junta or the great issues of
the hour to be submerged in petty squab-
bles. They demand that every question of
difference, requiring decision, shall be car
didly and dspassionately considered in the
spirit of peace and not of strife. They III
