MONARCHIsTS AT THE CENTENNIAL.

A SUGGESTION THAT REPUBLICAN CALCULATIONS Oh
SUPPRESSED AT PHILADELPHIA OUT OF COURTESY
TO FOREIGN VISITORS.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: When Bancroft delivered his eulogy
upon Lincoln in the presence of the assembled dig
nitaries Of our and foreign nations at Washing
ton he chose to speak OF the conduct OF England In ouI
civil war, as he thought she deserved. Realizing, how
ever that the plain truth this subject might be dis
tasteful the English minister he considerably sent
him note OF warning that he might not be present
he did not wish TO hear his country criticised from the
American point OF view. Was not this action thu
he preserved his patriotic sincerity his self respect and
the courtesy OF gentleman. Il there no way IN
which this nation initiate Mr. Bancroft In the mat
ter OF our Centennial Do really propose to ask des
grand celebration OF the existence OF republic
for 100 yearsl Are we seriously thinking OF
inviting our Bnlish guests TO listen to the amabd
analysis OF the character OF their king, whcn
For one, 1 would prefer that Congress should glve
s30OOO0 prevent such conspicuous absurdy rather
forward violation OF all the prophecies, moro
deploraD nation than In an individual. III we haYo
really far in inviting foreign nations 10 our Cen
tennal celebration that cannot change retreat
then let forego at Philadelphia our National Fourth
OF July In other cities and towns Americans can neet
rejoice the spiritual and moral significance or tue
Republic and the promise to humanity which it con-
tains but IN Philadelphia do not speak Of these things
since TO invited guests the expression OF such sen
ments would be simple rudeness. That city must now
be content with the somewhat stale and worn pan Oh
commercial advertising show not 10 be desplsed heey
brilliant spectacle and an international courtesy,
but by no means the celebration which the pluiouo
American would best enjoy on the ith OF July 1876

A Model Farmers Wife.

Matilda Fletcher thus describes
farmers wife who is not only beautiful
and wise, but possesses several cardinal
virtues in addition: 1.-THE most beau
tiful woman l have ever known was
q farmers wife, who attended to the
household duties for family of four,
and also assisted in gardening and the
light farm work; and yet / never saw
her hands rough and red, and never
even saw a freckle on her nose. In
possiblel you say; how did she man
age? / never asked her, but she had
some envious neighbors who went
slouching around with red, scaly hands,
sunburnt faces, and hair matted with
dust and oil, who let me into the dread
full secret. They informed me with
many an ominous shake of the head
that she was just the proudest mink
that ever lived; that she actually wore
India-rubber gloves when she used the
broom and scrubbing brush and always
when she worked outdoors; that she
also had bonnet made of oiI-silk,
completely covering the head, face and
neck, leaving only apertures for seeing
and breathing; thus securing perfect
freedom from sun, wind and dust. Did
you ever hear of such depravity? She
also fastened her dish-cloth TO stick so
that she need not put her hands III hot
water. For the same reason she ac-
complished her laundry work with a
machine and wringer. And then to see
her In the afternoon tricked out in a
fashionable white dress, with bright
colored ribbon at her throat, and rose
In her hair, entertaining in the parlor,
as though she was the greatest lady In
the land, was more than their patience
could endure. And her husband He
had such satisfied expression tina. II
was perfect aggravatiop to ordinary
people to look at him. He deserved to
be happy because ne encouraged and
helped her to cultivate beauty in her
self, her family, and her home and ]
don't know but her success principally
belonged to him, because he brought
all the new inventions that could tighten
her labors and ali the delicate and
pretty things she needed to adorn hen
home, and when she was sick he
wouldn't let her touch work until she
was well and strong. Strange as il
may seem, at such times he actually de-
voted himself to her with SIS much care
and tenderness as he would if sle had
been the most valuable horse OH the

CALIFoRNIA's BIGGEST NUGGET.-How
much we owe to California Her pre-
cious metals have enriched thousands OF
our fellow citizens, and have proved
the main stay of America IN times OF
national pecuniary embarrassment. Her
mining industries have given employ
ment to myriads of mechanics and labor
ers. She is the land of premise to the
fortune seeker. But the Golden State
has lately sent us a new treasure. Her
last nugget is DIR. WALKERS CALIFoR-
MA VINEGAR BrrTERs. The health
giving principles contained in this cur
ative are more precious boon than
gold. In allsaffections of the liver and
stomach, remittent and intermittent
fevers, rheumatism, and pulmonary dis
eases, it may be relied upon. AS blood
Gcpurent and invigorant 1t is unequaled,
purifying the circulation and infusing

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, and we know OF
no other remedy that can accomplish
this. Its entire freedom from alcoholic
spirit, whichretards and neutralizes the
effect of any medicine, and which forms
the basis of many of the pseudo bitters
and tonics, doubly enhances its value to
the sick. The papers of the United
States vie with one another IN doing
honor to DR.. Walker. We, too, add our
voice, and say, all honor to the man
whose science and skill have enabled
him to draw from the vegetable king
dom such balsam for human suffering.
