The Queen of the Lobby.

When we left Philadelphia in the
early morning l noticed among the
passengers who had joined us there "a
lady who has for some years past been
known here at Washington as ''the
Queen of the Lobby" Age adds to her
personal charms, and | could but notice
her, as she sat gracefully yet proudly
as thrOned sovereign, glancing over
the newspapers with her keen gray
eyes, and purpose marked in each
line of her handsome face. OF course
she was exquisitely attired, for the
soldier of fortune, of either sex, must
wear gay untarnished uniform, al
though the pockets be empty. At Bal
timOre every feature softened as west
ern congressman came into the car,
and she gave him a joyous greeting.
Before we had left the monumental
city the rural representative, fresh from
his Lares and Penates, had marched
into the little parlor, and when at the
Relay House the fair spider opened her
lunch basket, perfuming the car with
the odOr of old bourbon, is was evident
that the Honorable jefferson Caucus
man would vote for the Oregon and
Alaska steamship subsidy, the South

This No Longer the New World
RUINS OF IMMENSE BUILDINGS DIsCOV-
Erred IN NEW MEXICO.

RUINS OF IMMENSE BUILDINGS DISCOV-
Erred IN NEW MEXICO.
Our ancestors named this the New
World. They grouped their cabins upon
its shores believing themselves to be
the first who had planted colonies with
in it's primeval forests. After several
hundred years possession, we discover
that successive and unnumbered civili-
cations had, possibly tiourished and de-
cayed upon this continent before Co
lumbus crossed the sea. Arch9ologists
have examined Notifications in. the
prairies, have unearthed cities in the
valleys, found sacrificial altars on the
bluffs, and burial mounds by the water
courses, showing that the sO-called New
World is the mausoleum of Il prebis-
toric race,-the cemetery of lost tribes,
whose crumbling habitations are their
only head stones. .u
The most remarkable ruins yet dis
covered, are in New Mexico. They put
to shame the primitive log-hut of ouI
fore fathers; the frame shanty of the
prairie town the dug-out of the min
ing regions the adobe shelter of the
Pacific slope. In size and grandeur OF
conception, they equal any of the pres
ent buildings of the United States, if we
except the Capitol at Washington, and
may without discredit be compared to
the Pantheon and the Colosseum of the
Old World. The area covered by ruins
of various kinds is sevearl thousand
square miles, and embraces the adiOin-
ing corners of Colorado, Utah, Arizona
and New Mexico, the most southerly
ruins showing much the finer architect
ure. The region is remote from civili-
cation, and the nearest railroad point
between two and three hundred miles
distant.
In shallow cave of the Rio de Chel-
ley, few hundred feet above the river
bed, fifty exquisitely tinted heads
and seven large jars, were unearthed,
the cave contains a house three stories
high, having seventy-six rooms on the
ground floor. The ruins are $50 feet
long. Within the wOrk-room were
large grind-stones and various imple-
ments of the stone age. The walls are
plastered in white cement of stucco-like
finish. That it was spread OH the walls
by human hands is evident from the
marks of the pores of the skin to be
found on the surface. Occasionally the
whole print of the hand has been left
one woman's slender fingers are thus
preserved for the people of the nine.

A Revolutionary School Teacher.
["M. Quad" in Detroit Free Press

| was talking with Il schUol-teachel
the other day who will certainly come
to some bad end if lie does not change
his opinions. He had the audacity tO
hold that children went to school moi
as prisoners, but as pupils, the social
equals of teachers, but to obey orders
because realizing that discipline adj
vanced the interests of all. He held
learned that Michigan was bounded on
the south by Ohio and Indiana, so long
us they came to distinct knowledge OF
the fact, and he therefore said to his
young class in geography:
'Now, children, the president of the
United States used to live in Ohio, anC
Senator Morton, now dead, lived il
Indiana. Tell me in what direction
those two states lie from Michigan"
1t is very wrong in him, because the
pupils take real pleasure in hunting
out the answer. No pupil should bt
allowed to search for any answer no
regularly laid down in the text books
This teacher sets another awful eX

that there is school-reader containing
the history of William Penn and tn,
adventures of Mary's little lamb, h,
takes magazine or newspaper into hi
schoOl-room and says:
"Now, children, shall let one o

tions at Pompeii. Before we read lie

"And what happened to the city ?"

said, "and now where is that noun

''In Italy,"
Correct, and it again shows signs G

In half an hour not only one class
but the whole school has learne
geography, history, natural phiIosoph
and something of art in the one lessor
and each pupil goes home to relat
what was read, to discuss it, and per
haps to learn new facts. However,

Another Story of Lincoln.
Told by Green Clay Smith of Kentucky

ITold by Green Clay Smith OF kentucky.I
While l was in Congress, during four
years, l had frequent interviews with
President Lincoln, and never during
all that time, did l hear him ntter an
unkind sentiment. l was told 10y Sec
retary Stanton that at the first cabinet
meeting after the surrender, the ques-
ton as TO what should be done with the
confederate leaders was under discus
sion. Some of the cabinet were for
hanging, some for Imprisonment, and so
on. During the discussion the presi-
dent sat at the end of the table with
his legs twisted up, and said not a
word. AT last some one appealed to
him for his views. The presidents re-
ply was: "Gentlemen, there has been
blood enough spilled not another drop
shall be shed if can help it." Said
Mr.. Stanton "This reply was like a
thunderb0lt thrown into the cabinet,
and not a word of opposition was offer
ed.n A man who could use such lam
guage as that at such time could tru-
" subscribe himself "With malice tow
ard none and charity for all."i

During slavery l owned one of the

The Little Robe of White.

In rosewood cradle baby lay;
Its mother was stitching, stitching away
On little robe of white;
One foot on the rocker she hoped to keep
Her frolicsome baby fast asleep,
To finish her work that night.
In every stitch of the garment she wrought,
That loving mother fastened a thought
Hopes for that little one;
And smiled ON her baby in happy pride
As it slept in its cradle by her side,
Till the little robe was DONE
Then she folded up the cambria and lace,
And kissed the little ones chubby face,
That smiled it its infant glee;
She tossed it up and down in the air
How pretty you'll look, little babe, when you veal
That little new robe" said she.
In a rosewood coffin the baby lay;
Its mother had wept the night away,
Watching its dying breath;
With it pressed to her bosom she prayed to keep
Her darling babe from going to sleep
In the cold cold arms of death.
They buried the babe in the garment just wrought
Whose every stitch held hopeful thought,
From the loving mothers sight;
On a marble stone she wrote with a tear:
"How many hopes are buried here
In that little robe of white ~
In SaviOr's arms a baby lay,
From its rosewood coffin far away,
In the realms of love and light;
The angels garment had folded about
Its little form, which will never wear out
A seamless robe of white
The Home Garden.

OUR SUPPLEMENT.

Owing to an unusual press of business
matter, we have been compelled to leave
out several columns Of original jokes
Clipped from our exchanges, and very
able article on the political situation, pre-
pared especially for this number by that
astute critic of American civilization,
Denis Kearney, Esq, of Sand Lots If
objection is made by our readers that a
good deal of space is occupied by a de-
scription of Louisville, and the advertise
ments of her business houses, we reply
that Louisville is large city, and a
Southern city, whose citizens are warm
in their attachments to Southern people;
and that to give even faint idea of the
immense resources and developments of
that great metropolis, we would not only
have to use our supplement, but our en-
Sire issue. We cherish the belief that
we have conferred favor upon our
readers by giving, in a condensed form,
the capability of city which is bound
to us by every tie of sympathy and in
terest to supply the demand of our peo-
pie for those commodities which we are
necessarily compelled to purchase from
abroad

Louisville has wide fame as the great
tobacco mart of the world, and the firm of
Musselman s. Co. has aided very materially
to produce this result. Their facilities for the
manufacture of leaf tobacco into all the forms
known to commerce can not be excelIed, and
they have numerous appliances of their own
which give to their tobaccos a flavor and ex-
celIence seldom found. Dealers all over the
South will find it to their interest to obtain
the goods of Musselman & Co. Their tobac-
cos give increased satisfaction to consumers,
and largely advanced profit to dealers. This
firm employs two hundred hands, and has q
capacity of forty thousand pounds per week.

It safe to say that in the matter of saddlery
and harness the great house of j. T. Gathright
s. Co. stands practically without a superior
either in the South or country at lsrge-that
is when you consider the general adaptability
and effectiveness of their goods. This house
is swift to grasp any new invention that is a
demonstrated improvement over old processes,
and all through the great South their goods
are esteemed as being beyond all question
sound and reliable. The business of the firm
is constantly increasing, which goes to show
that solid merit ia certain to be appreciated in
the long run. Mr.. ]. T. Gathright has con-
tributed many valuable inventions for the
comfort and convenience of horsemen and

LOUISVILLE WHITE LEAD.
Louisville white lead enjoys reputation
for purity which is phenomenal in the white
lead trade of the country. To instance the
fact, large corporations owning iron bridges
which they desire to give the best possible pro-
lection from the elements, always use Louis
vile white lead for the paint or rather red
lead, which is merely white lead burned. This
is a strong tribute TO the honorable dealing of
Louisville's two great white lead companies
the American White Lead Company and the
Kentucky Lead and Oil Company. The man
sgement of these two great concerns is in the
hands of gentlemen of exceptional integrity
and high character.
