Handsome Jessie Benton Fremont.
Correspondence springfield Republican.


Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont il IN town
once more, although whether perma-
nently or temporarily | do not know. 1t
seems strange that so remarkable a
woman should be living very quietly
anyN here, for you have but to meet her
10 feel tina, she l. the kind OF woman
who moves mountains through her own
inherent force. What life of vicissi-
iude has been hers, Beginning with her
runaway marriage, her existence has had
more elements OF romance than the lives
of 4 thousand ordinary women. She
has dispensed seemingly bOundless
wealth, and has touched the depths of
poverty; she has been the foremost fem
mime figure in the public vision, repre-
senting most of what was charming in
her sex, and she has dropped into an al
most unnOticed niche in the social
world. She is in a high sense a mascu-
line woman, not mannish woman. Her
powers are those We call masculine as
representing greater strength, not in the
ordinary sense Of the sex. If she had
had the fortune 10 be born a man, she
would beyond doubt have achieved a
place among the controlling spirits of
tins country from which the limitations
Of her sex have declared her. 1t was no
great disappointment that Gen. Fremont
was never President; but | think We all
regret that his wife should never have
been Mr.. President. Now, in the days
of their poverty and misfortune, it seems
duubly pity, ince the common expe-
riences of life do not seem 10 be part of
the natural mrthright of a woman like
her. When she was married she had
every reason to believe gieat career
Law before her husband and through him
before her. An almost fabulous fortune,
from the new mines, distinction as an
officer, remote but probable political
prospects; and in all this, sway for the
talents she must have felt strong within
herself What could an ambitious woman
desire beyond this? In one way and an
other everything has fallen short Of the
promise; and yet to-day, perhaps, she is
a more remarkable figure in the midst of
her unsuccess than she would have been
had she reached her goal.

Andrew jackson Wang.
n. Y Herald,

An anonymous baby that came into
the world 4 few days ago was the cause
of domestic contest which yesterday
was brought TO the Yorkyille police
court for adjustment. The infant is a
funny phenomenon in whose veins the
passive blood Of the Mongolian is COM
mingled with the sanguine current of the
Celt. His father came from the banks
of the Gang-tse-Kiang, its mother from
these of the Shannon. All Lin Wang Is
the formers name, and he owns laun-
dry on First avenue, where the mother,
after presenting him with the immature
heir, announced her determination to
have it called Dennis after her brother
To All Lin Wang the name had an OBJ
noxious flavor Of the sand lots, and he
insisted on one more attuned 10 Celes-
tial taste. Then there was quarrel
over ii, in which the flat-iron figured
conspicuously and disastrously to the
lady, who had All Lin Wang arrested for
assault. The magistrate tried to recon-
eile the jarring parents.
Dennis is a good name, " he said, ''but

"Yes," blurted out the mother, "and
so is Belzebub and Judas Iscariot and

Mr.. THURLow WEED the veteran edit
or, has been interviewed by the New
York Herald as TO his days experience
last Monday. MIR. Weed resumed the
editorship of the Albany Journal for one
day, the fiftieth anniversary of the
founding of that paper. Mr.. Weed went
to the office and was given the absolute
control by Mr.. Dawson, the editor-in-
chief, who was first apprentice and then
journeyman when Mr.. Weed was editor
The veteran began by shutting himself
up and writing two-column leader in
which he urged Republican agreement
on the nominee, and the sending of del
egates to Chicago "free TO respond to the
public sentiment" at the time the con-
yention meets. He said Fish, Pierre
pont and others shared this view with
him, and he expressed in conversation
the belief that the machine" was wear
ing out. He returned by boat to New
York, and grew rather reminiscent He
recalled when Hudson was a whaling
port, and when he was cabin boy on
sloop. He says that as an editor he once

never any other drink at other times,

Three Deer swim For Life.

biobe- Democrat.
Frederick Putscher, who has lust re-
turned from trip SOulh with the United
States River Commission. relates an IN
teresting adventure had 10y party while
lying eighteen miles below Hickman,
Ky. One morning Putscher, who was
acting as night watchman, saw three
deer swimming across the river. The
party had steam tug, and steam being
up they put out for the animals, and
after very exciting chase, on account
OF the roughness of the river, caught up
with them near the Missouri shore The
old doe and two lawns, for such they
proved TO be, fairly rushed through the
water, and although the hunters tried
very hard to catch them alive, they were
unable 10 do so, owing to the roughness
of the water. They finally shot the
fawns, and as the old doe, who could not
get away easy, came back to her young
when she saw them in distress, she was
also easily shot. She weighed 40
pounds, and the young 100 pounds each.
Deer do not like 10 swim against strong
river currents, but it is probable these
had been run hard all night through
Kentucky, and were seeking safety on
the Missouri shore when sighted.

RECREATION FOR FARMERS.

The January meeting of the pomfrat
Farmers and Gardners' Club discussed
the qustion of recreation tor farmers
The speakers generally agreed that farm.
ers ought to have more play smells
Some OF the remarks were unprartirai
and some pertinent. Mr.. Fairbanks
thought il was worry as much as work
that broke down farmers constitutions
sent SO many wives 10 untimely graves
premature old age, or insane asylums
ana disgusted their sons and daughters
with country life. No one seemed abb.
to suggest any plan for taking rest dur.
ing the summer season, when il is most
needed. On the dairy farms of South.
ern and Central Chautauqua, or the fruit
farms along the Big Lake, there is not
much show for let-up Of work before
snow flies.
1t is true, circuses, political meetings.
elections, revivals, fairs, farmers clubs.
spelling schools, neighborhOOd quarrels
and an occasional row with the school
master liven things mp some. But the
trouble with most of these amusments is
they don't take people away from their
cares and barkmill round of duties
All classes who push business find the
same trouble to get release from w0rri-
ment and weariness. Americans don't
know how to take things easy; they
don't believe in it, anyway. 1t is hard
to convince a merchant OF farmer that
the affairs of the nation would jog right
along smoothly if be took day or two
or a weeks outing; housewives can't
quite realize that everything will come
out just as well and the earth not jogge
a bit if they drop a stitch OF two. 80 We
all dig and worry, and don't get much
out Of life when 1t is all summed up and
balanced on our coffin lids. Yes, the
real trouble is, with farmers, and all,
that they iTH not take recreation that
they might. The Countrywide has two
suggestions TO make, and expects no
farmer to follow them:
!. Every time you 90 to town, TO
market, or meeting, take the wife and all
the children along.
2. Every time there is one Of those
cheap excursions to Niagra Falls. Chau-
tauaqua, etc, boss and all hands turn
out and 60.
You will all live the longer for such
unbendings, and if YOU loose little
time once and a while You will more
than make il up in saving of doctors
bills and funeral expenses, which are
two of the most expensive luxuries YOU
can indulge Countryside, Jlmei0pA,

A Senatorial Feud.

|. It is not generally known, says the
Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
World, that Senator Morgan and the
late Senator Houston of Alabama were
not on speaking terms. The difference
grew out of Mr.. Houston's opposition to
Mr.. Morgan's election as United States
Senator nearly three years ago. The
two gentlemen had always maintained
the most friendly relations for many
years before that, and during Mr.. Hous-
tons candidacy for Governor of Ala
bama Mr.. Morgan made an extended
tour. of the State making speeches and
earnestly advocating Governor Hous-
tons election. 1t was but natural there
fore that Mr.. Morgan should have ex-
pected reciprocal support from Governor
Houston when the former became a can
didate for election as Senator. But Gov.
Houston, with that stubbornness which
passed for firmness in his character, and
which made him at times seem eccen-
trio, opposed Mr.. Morgan's election up
on alleged grounds that need not now
be mentioned, since the Legislature of
Alabama promptly indicated Mr.. Nor
gan by giving him more than the neces-
sary two-thirds vote. It was said at the
time that the aged Governor was
jealous Of Mr.. Morgan's rapid and
sudden rise in the politics of Alabama.
The latter, although conspicuous as a
General in the Southern army, had
never held any State office, being COM com,
paratively young in politics. Gen.
Houston felt that his election as Senator
while he (Houston) was in the gpberna-
torial chair, the usual stepping-stone to
the United States Senate, would be an
oversight which he did not merit. It
may be remembered that Governor
Houston was elected to the United States
Senate in 1865, but was not allowed to
take his seat. From that time on he
cherished the hope of going to the Sem
ate, and when Morgan, his best friend,
rose as an obstacle, to his ambition,
without seeming to urge. his own candle
dacy, he opposed Morgan and urged
the election Of ,sssome other man even
less able.'' Governor Houston lived
long enough to reach the goal Of his am
bition, and for. less than one year en-
loved its honors. While here, however,
IS said, he never asso ciated with Sem
ator Morgan, although the two sat with
in q few feet of each other on the floor
of the Senate.

very best quality Of early cut English
