The following sketch Of Mrs. Presi-
dent Hayes, written by Mrs. Francis
Willard, ought to be clipped out BY the
ladies, handsomely framed. and hung
up in convenient place SO they could
read it daily and exhibit it when their
neighbors drop in to have "little chat:'
"There is one trait in the character of
Mrs. Hayes which I should like to en-
phssize for the sake of any who may
read your sketch. She absolutely will
NOT talk gossip Even in the intimate
condolences OF daily intercourse she Is as
guarded az in the presence Of the multi

its mistress one who is the living ex-
emplifcation of Christ's Golden Rule.
Except in very rare instances, when
some act Of oppression to the poor or
defenoeless outrages her sense Of right,
she is always thoroughly kind in ex.

It now appears that the offer of the
bankers to advance the army pay to the
officers and men during the interval be-
fore Congress meets and makes the re-
quired appropriations, is not such q
generous move after all. The public
had just begun to believe that the pro-
posal was perfectly square one and to
admire and praiss the patriotism and
public spirit Of the lenders. But now
we learn that Tor the accommodation
proffered. the officers and men would
have to pay interest at the rate Of about
IA per cent. and also pay for agents and
contingencies. II they do not submit
to this shave they will have no money
for the next four months.

The shooting Of alligators in the
swamps of st. Charles parish, Louisiana,
is OF more frequent occurrence than
formerly, the colored people preferring
tho meat OF these animals to that OF any
Of the wild game in the woods. They
assert that it is more sustaining than
beef, and more tender and savory than
chicken or fish. II this be true it must
be great source of relief to the planters
in that section, for q negro does love
chicken flesh, and planter used to no
more think Of retiring at night before
setting gun-traps around his chicken
house than he did arising early the next
morning and doing bard days work.

Don NJ. Dickerson, Chairman OF the
Michigan Democratic Central Committee
and prominent politician in that State,
having been indispossd for some time,
on the 18th instant drank from bottle
which he supposed contained sherry
wine tonic, but which was really q
poison and SO labelled. At last accounts
the gentleman was in very critical con-
dition. This thing OF leaving bottle
containing poison within reach of q
politician, although the bottle Is lawfully
labelled, is indeed great carlessness. for
a politician never looks at the label on q
bottle; he grabs the bottle, shuts one
eye and looks into the instrument Of
death with the other, and If anything is
there in the shape Of liquid, lie throws
his head back. brings the bottle up to his
mouth. places his unoccupied hand
gently on his stomach, and never thinks
Of 'letting up" till the bottle is drained.
OF course there are exceptions to this
rule. and Phoebe politicians don't 60.
