The New York Sun predicts volcanic
eruption in the Cabinet some of these days:
"Grant regards Bristow with dislike, and
means to get him out of the Cabinet. He dare
not dismiss him. but expects by wounding
his pride and trenchirg upon his functions
to extort resignation. Such condition
of things can not endure long. The
crisis is only postponed. Grant and
Bristow have no sympathies in COM
mon, and represent conflicting policies.
The President desires to protect rings
and thieves in high places, as he has
heretofore protected Boss Shepherd and
others like him. Bristow seeks to overthrow
this system and to punish rogues. Behind
Grant are the Republican organization and
the Republican leaders in Congress. Behind
Bristow are the advocates of reform and the
great body of the people. The struggle for

forces, and it must 60 on"

DECORATIONS FOR THE TABLE,

Decorating the dinner table with flowers,
fruit, and other ornaments, has become SO
common that it is most desirable for every
housekeeper to acquire some proficiency in
the art This part of the business OF the
house generally falls to the lot of the young
ladies of the family, to whom few hints on
the subject may not come amiss Of course.
nothing is SO pretty for table decoration as
flowers or leaves, and they need not be SO
very ex pensive as might be imagined, espe-
ciaiiy to those living in the country. Even
in cities, q very pretty and attractive display
of flowers may be made at very small ex-
psnse.
A rustic basket, arranged with ferns, for the
middle of the table, is highly effective; an
ordinary-sized basket, with handle and sides
which turn over, is best; a tin filed with wet
sand should be placed inside, and ferns and
grasses of all sizes arranged tsstefully, with
some iry around the handle, will Eplete Q
very pretty ornament If there is slender
glass center-piece in the house, it will look
very pretty in summer time, arranged with
currants and green leaves twined round the
stem. Round and low baskets, entirely
covered with moss and piled up with fruit,
have an excellent effect. Then, in autumn.
nothing is loFelier than q selection of our
various tinted leaves, mixed with fruit.
Smilax should also neEer be forgotten by
these who osn afford it, as it twines SO very
gracefully shout glass or silver. Large
biackberries, in q pretty basket. are very nice
fer an everyday dinner table in summer; the
basket shoxid be of straw. glass or silver, to
make a pretty contrast. When the young
housekeeper has tried AL or nearly oil these
devices for making her table look attractive,
she will frd by practice that many other ways
will suggest themselves to her mind, and that
a RI &ho ~ ne
graceful Ettle art will not be thrown away.

Are white 90 white c. be-;
But never one in the hGeb0r
As white a. the sails et sea-
And the clouds that crown the mountain
With purple and gold delight;
Turn to cold. gray mist and vapor
Ere ever we reach the height.
The mountains wesr crowns OF glory
Only when seen from afar
And the sails lose all their whiteness
Inside OF the harbor bar.
Stately and fair is the vessel
That comes not near our beach;
Stately and grand the mountain
Whose height We may never reach.
Obi Distance, thou dear enchanter,
still hold in thy magic veil;
The glory of far. off mountains,
The CLEAN OF the far-of sail!
Hide in thy robes OF splendor,
Oh! mountains cold and gray!
Oh! sail, in thy snowy Wilderness,
Come not into port, I pray!
