REPUBLICANS LAUNDERING IN THEIR

WASHINGTON, April /, 1881.
The republican leaders have determin-
ed to break up the solid South, but they
60 about it with an awkwardDess which
for the present repels instead of attract
ing the kind of Southern men they would
like to and ought to draw to their Or
ganization. Senator Lamar to-day ex-
pressed his disgust at the republican
tactics and his spesch contained matter
which deserves the attention OF repub Ii
cans. He drew attention to the absurdi-
ty of what has been going on for the past
two weeks in the Sena Q; on the enc hand
republican Senators obstructing pressing
public business in order to secure an
Office to Mr.. lliddleberger, as means of
defeating the democrat in Virginia, and on
The other hand Senators like Mr.. Hoar
at the same time viliiyiDg and misre-
presenting the present condition of the
Southern States as though an Office or

things most likely to secure republican
voters in Southern State.

A SENATORIAL BEAR GARDEN.

The Senate, after Mr.. Lamar had done
speaking, became kind of bear garden.
The Senatorial temper gave way on both
sides, and there occurred toward the
close OF the afternoon prolonged scOld-
ing match, highly edifying to the
galleries. What is the use of it all no.
body eau tell. In some quarters it is
believed that the republicans, knowing
that they will presently have to give up
The ill-adyishd contest In which they are
engaged, are using the present time to
set General Malone and the democrats
so thoroughly by the ears as to make
their reconciliation hereafter impossible.

MALONE THE WRONG MAN.
General Malone turns out to be
probably the wong man 10 try ex~
psriments with. If he had been the
right man he would have been most
careful not to cumber himself with
Riddleberger in the beginning. There
is nosdoubt at all that judicious use
of patronage can be made very effec-
tive in the South, but a iudiclous use
Of patronage there, as in the North,
would consist of selecting the very best
men for the few most important. local
federal plaees-men honest, able, eff
cient, reputable, influential and repub-
licans. If the President should giye
the important federal places in the
South to such men, and put upon them
the responsibility of selecting their
subordinates, this, with the policy
which the republican Congress, when
ii meets, will develop, would work an
important change in public opinion
down there. To begin with an angry
fight about RIddleberger is merely to
spoil the campaign before it has Open
ed.
Some republican Senators already
see the blunder that has been made,
and are ready to drop Mr.. RIddlobergev
and throw General Malone on his own
resources in Virginia. 1t is probable
that the Senate will proceed to exscu.
tive business next week, and thereup-
on adjourn, and this is the best way tC
settle the Malone business. The Vir
ginia Senator will have to work little
harder in his fall canvass, but even il
he should be beaten no great harm
will be done. If his party cannot live
on minority for year it has not iht
real breath of life IN 1T.

Why do not the girls of to-day be-
come their own dressmakers? They
would find an extraordinary stimulus
and pleasure in the occupation, and
there is nothing that would do more to
take the nonsense out of them and put
sense in its place. Paper patterns and
the shortening of the skirts have made
the task easy, and once undertaken ii
would not be given up, for it would be
more interesting than "fancy" work.
Probably the inducement to many
would be much greater if the custom oi
giving girls an allowance fo1 dress mon
ey was common here, as it ~ in Eng
land. But, unfortunately, it is not, anC
the majority of the daughters of well-to
do fathers feel that the effort would moi
be appreciated and would bring then
no compensation.
Young women whose parents occupy
high positions in England frequently dc

their which ranges from So

NAV have one dress il a season made b,
a dress maker, not more, and this vii
probably be supplemented by a dres
maker in the house, who occupies he
time in cutting and fitting, while th'
young lady herself, with, perhaps, th'
help of a family seamstress, does th'
sewing There is great advantage il
this, becoming acquainted with method
and personally conversant with way
and means, with exigencies and necessi
ties of work, its limitations as well as it
possibilities.
A good servant would infinitely rathe
work for a mistress who was thorough,
acquainted with the duties to be per
formed, and therefore willing to max
allowances; and on the same principle
it is easier in making dress to satisf.
one who knows than one whose igno
ance makes her at once exacting and mol
appreciative.

We are apt to be impatient with peo-
pie who cannot understand or do things
which to us appear extremely simple.
Persons of genius and talent, especially,
are often unjust to honest but stupid
mediocrity.
The late Mr.. Oakes, lifelong friend
of Edwin Forrest, used to tell story
of the well-known actor, which shows
how he could fall into this error, and
afterwards generously atone for it.
He was once rehearsing Othello at a
theatre where a poor actor--poor in
every sense-took the part of the First
Senator in the famous scene in the
Council Chamber. He began his speech
to the Moor, in quick, jerky manner,
and in squeaky voice.
"Bu., Othelo, speak,
Did you by indirect and forced course,
Subdue and poison this young maids affections
"Stop, stop!' interrupted Forrest with
shudder. "No Venetian Senator
would speak in that way. Give the
words with more deliberation and dig
nifty, in deeper voice, something like
this" E..--
And in his easy, powerful tones, he
set the example. The subordinate be-
gan again, but in the same jerky manner
and squeaky accents.
Did oS'i yoa BY yindiS: indirec. aRe
"Stopr' again roared out Forrest
mot that way, l tell you! Now hear
me-"
Once more he showed how the Vene'
9tian Senator should speak; and once
more the poor fellow, now trembling
and nervous, for there was something
over.powering in Forests reproof, at.
| tempted to give the speech correctly,
but with the same result.
! "Bu,, Othello, speak! -&k
Forests frown stopped him. He
stood pale and silent, while the great
actor thundered,-
aAre you an idiot?" ~
aNo, sir" he replied; "1'm not an
idiot; but II I could speak that speech
| rs YOU do, Mr.. Forrest, shouldn't be
acting in this theatre for six dollars g
| week"
"I humbly beg your pardou," said
Forrest. II have expected TOD much
of you. Please go on in your own
way"
Forrest afterward saw the manager
and asked him what salary the actor
received. n >
"Six dollars week." was the reply.
perhaps it is all he is worth" said
the actor. "But while l am engaged

A great many anecdotes have been
told about the handwriting Of Rufus
Choa:e, the eloquent Boston lawyer.
But not one is so humorous, or so
descriptive of the appearance of his
written words as the following:
1t seems that Mr.. Cboate wanted a
new fence around the home-lot. Sc
he called in his carpenter and had a
talk with him about the work, and
the next time he went to Boston, he
got his architect to make a rough
sketch showing his idea of how he
desired the fence to be built.
On the dav appointed for the work
to begin. Mr.. Choate was summoned
away. just as he was about to start
the carpenter appeared, and Mr..
Choate pulled the plan out Of his vest
pocket, and hurriedly delivered it and
drove off TO catch the train.
Returning after an absence Of two
| weeks. on approaching his home, he
was filled with amazement, and le,l 10
doubt where he lived. His home lot
was surrounded by a zig-zag fence Of
most extraordinary design.
When he saw the old carpenter
pounding Justify away, he felt rcas-
sured as to the identity of the place,
but most puzzled by the marvellous
fence. =-
"Hello!'she shouted. ''What are
you doingT"a T"ag,zei.4f Ese y,,.,..-.
"Doin' !" said the carpenter, smash
ing in tenpenny nail with one blow !;
"we're doing some pooty tail work.
We've siuns this fence together ia a
little bit less time than any similar
slingin' WAS ever done in the Com
monwealth of Massachusetts,. We're
two days ahead Of contract time
now"
"But what sort of fence is that 2"
H"Don't know. Thought when you
gi'sme the plan it WAS tllc q,ieerest
fence l ever heard of, but /. suppose
you knew what you wanted.
| ''Plan!" said Rufus; wplan? Let
me see the pian!'' And when the
carpenter handed it over the fence,
Mr.. Choate recoliected that In his
haste he bud felt 10 the wrong pocket,
and handed him net the plan, but u
A note In bis own handwriting. llaS. q
