President Hayes succeeds in carry
ing out his reformatory policy, what
will be left for your third party to
do? Nothing. And you will soon

and truth. . r. -.
If, then, the independents earnest
ly desire reform, our advice to them
is to stand by President Hayes, so
long as he is striving to do wisely
and right. If they merely desire to
aggrandize the insincere and i'm
practicable leaders associated with
their own party, then theyshould
spend every effort to build up and
strengthen their especial organiza-
ton. But, in the latter event, we
would advise their present leaders
to hasten to consummate the frui-
ton Of their desires, lest they are
speedily showed aside from pre-emi-
hence in the new party, by the
shrewder corruptionists who have
been recently displaced from power
by the elevation of the honorable
element to the control of the repub-
lican organization and the govern
ment.

her hair has been a single white rose.
Her dresses are rich and good IN
material, suitable to her station, but
there is nothing snowy or .gaudy or
supertluous about her. Just this
first week that she has been among
us shows the good that such a wom-
an can and does do. s.7'a e..
As long as the world rolls round peo-
pie must be amused sometimes one thing
serves their purpose, sometimes another.
1t matters little to many whether they
are entertained with disgraceful scan
dial about their nearest neighbor or by
means of a ticket to II Charity Ball, so
that the amusement comes. Washington
usually has her share Of all kinds and
all classes can be accommodated with
whatever delectable dishes they prefer.
OF late Il series of charitable enter.
tainments have taken the place Of dane
ms parties and such gayer affairs that
preceded Lent. These have been ex-
ceedingly interesting and instructive as
we'll as beneficial to certain worthy OBJ
jects in pecuniary sense. This week
we have a fair and musicale combined,
given by the Israelites of the District in
aid of the Adas Israel Hebrew Congre-
cation, which promises to be right
pleasant. There are goodly number
Of Jews residing in Washington, highly
respected as a class, and we'll to 90 as
citizens. They have several churches
or synagogues as they are called and of
course corresponding number Of
priests. We do wrong in calling them
priests, l suppose, for as Prof. Felix Ad-
Ter recently said in reference to the de-
generacy Of the priesthood.
"The Jews are honorable exceptions
in this regard. For 1900 years since
their temple was destroyed that have
had the good sense never to tolerate a
priesthood among them. Their Rabbits
have simply been teachers. men dis
tingaished for their superior learning.
But the same paths of knowledge were
open to all, and they were thus posed
to constant criticism, retaining their in
fuence only on the basis of ackh howl
edged merit. 1t is only during the pact
70 years that a Jewish ministry has
been in being. The necessities Of the
times, and the decadence Of theological
learning which was once the provi1 ice of
every intelligent Jew, leave the Rabbis
in a position which they never occupied
before. " NJ. NJ. w.

Washington Letter.

Political excitement at an end,
the public interest turns itself to
even smaller matters-personal Cos
sip and spring fashions. 1t is only
natural that people should be inter-
ested in trihes and details concern
ming the family of our chief mag
istrate, and these are now the all OBJ
sorbing topics Of conversation and
meditation, especially among the
fair sex. President Hayes is for re-
form. So is his wife. President
Hayes intends taking a new stand
and bringing about an entire new
state Of affairs. So, apparently,
does his wife.
Both fields are certainly large
enough, and while her husband is
exercising his influence and power
for the promotion of peace, good
feeling and unity between and
among the States, for better con-
dition of civil affairs, and for the
protection of the rights Of all Amer
lean citizens, Mrs. Hayes manifest
ly intends to inaugurate new sys-
TENS and new ideas in the sphere
through which her influence extends.
And this is not a small one. Those
who know the extremes to which
Washington society ladies carry the
matter of dress are aware that there
is great work Of reform needed in
that direction, and who so fitted by
position to begin and carry on that
work as the Mistress of the Exc
cut;ve Mansion.
Has the wife Of the President of
our nation nothing to do but carry
on her part of the giddy butterfly life
that wears out Washington ladies in
SO short time ? Has she no part
to perform besides that of entertain
ing and being entertained, dressing.
frizzing, houncing, and showing off.
generally ? She thinks there is a
better part for her to take and at
the very beginning of her living
among us she has taken her stand,
firmly but in so gentle and truly
lady-like a manner, that the most
fastidious can find no fault with her
course.
In the m after of dress she has a.
ready participated in the most bril-
liant receptions, dinners, etc., and
her most claiborne toilet has been
plain black silk with folds faced with
pale blue for trimming, and a simple
ruff Of point lace in the high neck
and long sleeves. In fact, she has
already worn this dress twice in pub.
lie. Of jewels and ornaments she has
absolutely none, and the only orna-
ment she has been seen to wear in

Very Useful to Every one.

] In no other wac can a person get back SO large profit for a very little money, as to expend it in learning tVhGt to do, aUhen to do it, and hoaU to do it-in other words, to have his brains help his hands. Here is one way to do this: The small saw ing or extra productions of less than half a cent day, or 3 ceuts week, will now procure large, beautiful, cheap Journal, for all of 1877, splendidly Illustrated, with over 600 fine original EngraviDgs, and over a Thousand Columns of the very best, plain pratical, trustworthy informa- tion about the every day indoor and out door work and comfort of every home, in Country, Village, and City. Thls in- formation is not prepared by mere scrib- blers, but by large force of intelligent working men and women, who know what they write about, and they are assisted by many others, who furnish information from their own practice and observation. Such a Journal is the American Agy'tcuL- t,Grist, so named because started 35 years, ago as rural journal, but since greatly enlarged and improved to suit the daily wants of every man, woman, and child 1n City, Country, and Village-for the Far mer and Gardener, the Merchant and Me chanic, the Professional Man indeed, all classes. It is packed full of useful infor-
 nation that every one ought to have. Many single hints and suggestions will re- pay more than whole years cost of the paper. It's original engraved plans for buildings and improvement, with details of cost, etc. ,and common sense directions, are worth. far more than a majority of the costly works on architecture. Great care is exercised to have every line in the pa- per reliable. Its constant, persistent and full exposure of multitude of Hum. bugs and swindles, are alone worth far more than it's cost, and have saved to it's readers and to the country millions of dollars that would have gone into the hands of sharpers. The Departments for Housekeepers and Children are very use full and entertaining. In short, the Amer icGe Agriculturist is full of good things, and,ought to be in every house in the land. The circulation is so large that the Publishers can supply it at little above the cost of the printing papcr-or $1 50 Q year, sent postpaid; or four copies $5.40. Take our advice and send your subscrip- tion for 1877 (Vol. 36) to ORANGE JUDD COMPANY, 245 Broadway, New York. You will find 1t pay, and pay well.

The temperance revival deepens and
widens. 1t has extended and wrought
results not expected by its most ssnguine
friends. Back of all general faith III MIR.
Murphy, Washington had a lurking
doubt similar to that of Boston towards
Mr.. Moody "The rose that all are prais-
in is not the rose for me-" But Murphy
comes with his two converts-Swsrtz
welder and Hsll-the lawyer and saloon
keeper-holds rousing meeting-talks
and acts as no platform speaker ever had
before to Washington audience -dlsre-

signers the first night and sets the tenn
perance ball rolling with so grand an
impulse that now more than one thOus-
and names are enrolled who promise
both to abstain from drinking and in
fluence others to do the same. Since
then. meetings have been regularly held
Monday, Thursday and Saturday eve
nings, and sometimes Sunday afternoon
IN the Town Hall which is invariably
crowded to its utmost capacity. The
size of the meeting contrasts strangely
with the audiences of the meetings held
before Murphy visited US. In those
January meetings, the audiences seldom
exceeded good sized corporars guard
notwithstanding they were advertised by
press and pulpit, invitation generally
given, bells rung before the meeting, NC.
Now in less than half an hour from ring.
ing of bell, the Town Hall is crowded
fact which when repeated three times a
week impresses all that change
has come over the spirit OF Washington's
temperence dream.
