THINK of that old federalist John
Adams, of Buchanan, Motley, or Mr..
Adams, all men of high social position,
and ambassadors to the court of st. James,
petitioning an English earl for the privi-
lege of putting a crest on his family car
riage, as Minister Edwards Pierrepont
has done. That is a fine specimen of re-
publican simplicity. Fancy what letter
of repro # Thomas efle son would write
to Mr.. 'nepont wele he again Secre-
tary of Stately. Y. Express.
Mr.. Jefferson once wrote a letter on
the utility of young Americans going to
Europe for an education, from which, if
he had left no other record of his senti-
ments and principles in the matter refer
red to it might easily be concluded what
he would have thought of Mr. Pierre
pont. His picture of youth sent abroad
for education might be applied with
little modification to the celebrated
American tuft hunter, now representing
republican country at the court OF St.
James. Says Mr.. Jefferson: "He ac-
quires Il fondness for European luxury
and dissipation and contempt for the
simplicity of his own country; he is fas-
cinated with the privileges of the Euro
pean aristocracy, and sees with abhor-
renee the lovely equality which the poor
enjoy with the rich in his own country;
lie d dilSJOCTdCy
or monarchy When Mr.. Jefferson be-
came President of the United States the
stately ceremonials of Washington's
times, which may have been appropriate
to the period, were dispensed with. He
rode saddle horse into Washington and
''hitched him to the palisades" when he
went to be inauguratrd. On his journey
home he did not travel in government
conveyances, nor i'll private ones of any
show, but rode in II one-horse vehicle.
He did not, according to previous Gus
tom, open Congress with afornal speech,
but sent a written message inStral, and
the stately cavalcade attending the Pr,.>i-
dent to Congress, and in due time the
procession of Congress back to the Pr-si-
dent with their addresses" were forever
swept away. The days of state. cere-
monials had lost their significance and
their motive He would not even per-
init his birthday to be known for fear the
anniversary would be celebrated. What
this practical and unsentimeutal demo-
crat would have done with an American
representative in England whose highest
ambition is to be a tail to the kite OF
English aristocracy it is easy to conjec
ture.-Phiia. Times.

High frt In Washington

a. Mrs. Fassett is putting up a picture
OF the electoral commission at w Washing
ton on the American people. She is, we
presume, the Chicago artist OF that
name. If so, she is a somewhat fairish
painter and her husband is a very good
photographer. When we first heard of
her aud her picture she had been granted
a room in the capitol for its preparation.
1t is not unlikely that the country will be
called upon to pay 100000, or some uch
sam, for the picture. We can see no
reason why it should, and apprehend
Mr.. Fassett will find some difficulty in
getting an appropriation through the
House, Especially as, upon the authori-
ty of the Hartford Tunes and Washing
ton Ndtion it is declared that this work
of art is nigh of kin in scope and treat
ment to the choic, st productions of the
street-car advertising compahy's renais-
sance. Any one who wishes to appear
in the picture must go to Mrs. Fassett's
husbands gallery and be photographed
hfe-size: from this painting is made
which the victim is expected to buy;
then he is incorporated with the great of
the land. Besides the members of the
commission, clerks and attendants, some
sixty persons are to be introduced into
the picture. The correspondents who
were required by duty to be in the gallery
throughout the session are conspiciously
omitted, and IN their places are introdu-
ced IA lot of people who never were in
the room. Though hardly member of
the diplomatic corps attended and not
one was in court dress, those who are
willing to pay are to be represented rs
being in the audience. Some OF their
ladies are down-cost $50 a face. The
whole picture reminds the correspon-
dent of the Hartford Times of Little
fields "Death-bed of Lincoln" where
most of the people present were left out,
their places being taken by army sur
geons who probably never saw the presi.
dent during his life. and certainly did
not see him at his death.-N. Y. World,

BEAUTIFUL POLESSES.

iofrhe fact that tile Polish ladies have

tenance, including noses, the most inn
pertinent tips Of which do turn up Just

charms. They are not possessed either Of
dnllisll or masculine faces, as the English
and American ladies often are; they are
not volupruous or blaek-brOwed like their
sisters of France and Spain, but queenly
sort Of woman, tall and graceful, and
possessed ofa colder type Of beauty than
blooms on the Mediterrauean-a tyne of
beauty that makes me think Of marble
statues, Damascus blades and aurora
borealis. BY the way, Bayard Taylor
says he saw more handsome faces in one
hou. at The Warsaw races than he saw
elsewhere during two years in Europe, and
do not doubt il. Moreover, 1 have
never been in any county where the re-
lati0ns Of the men and women Of the upper
classes seemed so high.toned; and am
sure that stranger entering the best
society Of Warsaw would have TO acknow-
ledge the most chivalrous devotion ON the
part Of the men and the most gracious, yet

SMALL MEANS.

We think that the power of money Is,
on the whole. overestimated. The great
es, thing which were done for the world
have not been acs csomplished by rich men,
or 10y SUBSCRIPTION lists, but men generally
Of small pecuniary means. The greatest
thinkers. diseoverers, inventors, and
artists have beeniof moderate wealth,
many ofthem little raised above the con-
dition Of manual iaborers in point Of
worldly circumstances. And IL will al
ways be 50. Riches are oflener an impe-
diment than stimulus TO action; and In
many cases they are quite rs much mis-
