Boston and Chicago.

Apropos of the recent visit of the
Chicago Commercial Club to Boston
where by the way they were most hos
pitably entertained-a Boston man
(Causeur of the Transcript tells tine
following little story:
ga many years ago" two young men,
John and James, Boston boys both,
were fellow-clerks on Kilby Street
John went to Chicago in its muddy
days, prospered, married, raised fam
lily, and. ere his hair was gray, became
q well-to-do, substantial citizen, OPEN
handed and open-hearted. James re-
manned at home. He, too, prospered,
married, raised family, and became
one of the "solid men of Boston"
Now, it fell out that when Johns eldest
son-they called him Jack-was 81, he
visited Boston, bearing q letter to his
fathers old friend, whom he found in q
dingy Pearl Street counting-roon, deep
in the Advertiser. Jack presented the
letter, and stood, hat in hand. while the
old gentleman read it tsoice. $50 you're
Johns sonp" he said. "You don't
look a bit like your father" Then
there was q pause, Jack still standing.
"What brought you to BostonP',
he was asked. "Well, SIR" said
Jack, "father thought I'd better see his
old home and get taste of salt air."
"Going to be here over SundayP"
Eyes, sir" "My pew is No = at
Trinity. Hope to see you there. Glad
to have met you" And there the in
terview ended. Now it CHANGED that,
not long after, James's son, rowing
through the West, reached Chicago.
He remembered his fathers friend by
name, and hunted him up in his office.
d" Well, my son." said a pleasant voice,
before he had closed the door. "My
name is James -, sir, and thought
What? You don't mean to say
that OF course you are. 1 might

go and get it, and take it right up to the
house," answered the genial old gentle
man, closing his desk with vigorous
slam. "We'll go right up noU. There's
plenty of time for drive, this after
noon. This evening you can go to the
theater with my girls, and tomorrow
you and will take run out on the c.,
b. & O., and have look at the coun-
try. Then want to take you out to
the Stock Yards, and have trip on
the lake, and" "But, SIR" broke
in the overwhelmed young man, 81
must 60 home tomorrow" "Tut, tut,
my boy, don't talk that way. You
can't begin to see this city under week,
and you're going to stay that long any
now." He did. In fact, he's there
now.

an orphan lady to vhom an attache of

guardian had evidntly heard some sto-
ries rejecting upoathe young diplomat,

concerning him. hginning with his rep

"Yes," replisd the Minister-from

The guardian, not at all satisfied with
these responas, ventured to ask third
question, about the young attaches

"Ah!" nplied the Minister-from
Patagonia-s is excellent. How, sir,
could it be otherwise, when he only gets

TRELLIsEs FOR PEAS AND GRAPES
The difficulty with the tall-growing
peas is that of providing sufficient sup
port, so that their tops may not lop over
and smother the main portions, be-
sides stopping further growth and bear
ing. "Pea brush" is rather unsightly,
even at the best, almost intolerabie at
its worst, and in many cases hard to get
of any fit shape at all. Cotton yarn
stretched to some light stakes makes a
neat substitute which looks tidy from
the first, even before it is filled with
haulm. But, as generally applied, the
yarn is stretched horizontally. In this
position it is incapable of supporting
the accumulated burden, and sad
wreck occurs just when rich promise is
becoming abundant fruition. If one
horizontal strip of wood is put up fiat

limit to be reached by the particular

each side of the row and about eight
inches above the surface; and the
yarn is then passed from one to the
other of these, over the upper rail. and
about eight inches apart, secure sup
port is provided, at less trouble on the
whole than with the horizontal stretches
of thread. So in training grape vines;

lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, May 14.-It will probably not be
claimed by any one that the political speech made
this afternoon by Senator Herman is destined to
ert any very decided influence upon the final dispo
sition of the matters in dispute. The Senator Ia
bors under the disadvantage of beng too kindly
disposed TO be offensive, and too conscientious to
falsfy history misrepresent the motives of his
opponents. as Democratic exigencies always demand
His speech, therefore, although accompanied with
vigorous gestculatiOns and uncaled-for emphasis,
was really placid and unrriating in the main, and
almost as soothing in its general results as the
political uttcrances of the Independent Senator
from Illinois.
The Senator, 1t will be remembered was one of
those who originally opposed to the revolution
airy plans of his party and he doubtless sought this
OCCASION when the party had begun to reap the
results of its folly, to attempt to show that it was
not entirely without provocatiOn for the course 1t
had taken. OF course he failed to do so. He
worked up quite an argument in favor of the re-
peal or modification of the test oath but as tins
is matter in which many Republicans would be
willing to join HIM if the matter should ever come
up on its own merits, his effort rs political
movement hardly met with the success which 1t
would deserve at another time.
Tie Senator seemed to forget that the Army bill
has been vetoed and went over the old familiar
ground citing the traditional fears of all liberty
loving English ancestors with regard to military
interference at elections, and ended with the not
entirely novel declaration that the is over.
This p0sthumous spasm of the Army phase of the
present issue was watched with interest, il
was hoped that the "official" caucus policy OF
his party might be foreshadOwed. this being the
first political speech since the last veto. Nothing
significant was said, however and 1t is evident that
no policy is yet determined upon.
His extended reference to the real political
features of the Legislative BILL the deputy
| and Supervisors provisions, was evidently modelled
from the speech of Mr.. Hereford, delivered several
/ weeks ago,
