Beautiful Women that no Longer Rule
in Washington.

One year ago Mrs. Belknap was the
toast. Every night and every morning
we read anew Of the brightness Of her
face, the marvels OF her dresses, the
number Of her shoes. She read 80 much
about the splendors OF her beauty and
the wonders Of her toilet that she grew
TO believe herself to be . little above
any OF her earthly sisters. In three
Years she was utterly transformed from
4 gentle, subdued looking widow 10 an
airy, supercilious woman Of fashion.
When Senator Christiancy married q
little girl who counted scrip in the
Treasury, the society q leaders" met
and debated whether they should re-
ceive her or not. She entered their en-
chanted circle as II by fire. She was BY
no means unanimously received, nor in
any way warmly welcomed. Nobody
tabooed her so positively and utterly as
Mrs. Belknap. She, the daughter Of a
country doctor, was not willing to re-
ceive on equal terms the little "Coun-
tess- Of I" Scrip" suddenly elevated to
the dignity Of a Senator's wife, This
was but one year ago.
Yet already we have ceased altogeth-
er to hear Of Mrs. Belknap's dresses.
She lives at the Arlington, and no doubt
keeps still her near personal friends
but she Is no longer the fashion. No
body cares whether her shoes are ones
or tens.
just the same the gay throng rolls
up to the door Of the Secretary OF
War; but his name is Don Cameron.
He has daughter, tall, strong, dark
and beautiful. She now Is the toast.
SO also is the daughter-in-l law Of the
Attorney General, the bride Of week,
She is q blonde Of blondes blue-eyed
and lovely in an azure dress. The
whole world Of fashion is rushing "a
gaze upon her ut the Ebbitt House
Every week we read that the most bril-
liant receptions Of the season are those
Of Mrs. Taft.
1t seems but yesterday that the whole
world was flowing into the house Of the
Attorney-General whose name was vii
liams. What sumptuous feasts were
those in the new house into which thu
beautiful woman had put her very life
Amid costly hangings and azure-satir
furniture, dressed like Peri, this bean
tiful Sultana stirred her famoul
sspunchr for the feasting and dancing
crowds who packed her house. Sh'
stirs it still in the same house, no doubt
for her individual friends; but the
crowds for the Attorney Generals al
rush TO the Ebbitt House, and Mrs
Taft answers just as well as Mrs. Viii
liams the beautiful-albeit she stirs M
no teddy. --New York Independent.

The cotton mapufacturer appears
to be the first TO experience a return TO
prosperity, II the reports concerning
his business are true. The cotton-mills
Of Fall River, Mass, are running 70
their full capacity, and, what Is still
better, the operators are receiving
wages 10 per cent. higher than during
the fall OF 1875. 1t is said that more
than one half the product Of the cotton
print mills is sold up TO April at very
profitable figures, and as the mills have
enough cotton on hand 10 last several
months, they ARE not affected by the re-
cent advance in its prices.

During one OF the fairs In Paris,
some wears ago, Baron James de Roths-
child was patron. CHANGING to pass
stand where some pretty young ladies
were installed, he asked in bantering
tone: Well, my dears, what can do
for You P" "Ah, Baron, said one, "you
can give us your autograph" "With
pleasure, replied the gallant old
Baron, elf you preface 1t with an
agreeable sentiment" So the young
lady, without much ado, wrote on q
dainty slip OF paper: ~ hereby give
TO - charity ten thousand francs
and the Baron immediately signed his
name in full, and smilingly paid the
amount to the cnterprising Partisan.

or In some better wayP In some way
modern society must protect itself from
the extortions OF people who add moth
ing 10 the general stock, but prey upon
the wit Of one class and the work Of an
other. One reason that trade rallies so
slowly and that labor Is SO depressed Is
that the prices II all necessaries Of life
are so linreasonably high.-Nev York

SCHEDUIE.
The Legislature.

Up to this time the Legislature
has matnred no laws, though the
members have not been idle by any
means. Important measures are
before them, and we anticipate good
results. The dog law and the con-
ventional interest law will be re-
pealed, the assessment law modi-
fed, and the school law amended.
Resolutions are now before them
looking to an adjustment OF our
State debt on satisfactory terms,
while other measures of reform,
such as the reduction of salaries, DC,
are receiving earnest attention.
The only serious complaint we make
is that too much time has already
been consumed in balloting for a
U. S. Senator for the unexplred
term OF Senator Johnson. No re-
suit has been reached at this writ
ing Wednesday,. The contest
is between Bate and Bailey, with
first one and then the other in the
ascendent. A caucus would have
done the work in one day, and saved
thousands upon thousands Of dol
lars to the State. We hope howev
er to receive news of an election be
fore we go to press. Legislative
proceedings will be reported as
fast as results are reached.

We are in receipt of very neat
pamphlet, entitled, ga Historical
Sketch of Maury County," by Hon.
w. S. Fleming, which abounds in
facts interesting to every Maury
Countian, no matter where he may
now live. The sketch is of course
the more readable and interesting
because SO ably and gracefully
written. The pamphlet is published
by the County Court of Maury
County, and is sold at a nominal
price, with the view of reimbursing
the county treasury. We think the
example might be followed with
profit by our County Court with
reference to the very able and valu-
able historical sketch of Giles by
our fellow citizen, Jas. McCallum
Esq. Certainly the history of Giles
should be preserved in some endur-
ing form. 1t cost the author many
days and weeks of labor and re
search, and is too valuable to be
thrown away. We therefore sug-
gest to our Magistrates to consider
the matter and bring it before the
Court.

Deceased was highly respected, pi-
Gus, christian lady. She was the

fessed religion in 1867, and was married
to Mr.. G. E. Haley, of this county on the
Goth day of July, 1871, and then moved

Der until death. She has now been re-
moved from the trials, contaminations
and disappointments of this life to the

family and friends we extend our sim
cerest sympathy in this their sad disa p
