BLAINE speaks most kindly of the Southern peo-
ple so one of his Democratic friends tells James R.
Randall, author of my Maryland" and means TO

Church of st. Lorenzo, under the little vault
which is near the stone known as the glidiron,
which still preserves the OF the blood shed

CARLYLE's rich humor and startling paradoxes
were the great charm of his talk, though Luttrell

how II would go down If he spoke English and

1t sickens the heart of mon to listen to ye." And
doubtless this frankness was deserved, il dis

to be recognized in the Cabinet-the Union Army.
General James B. Beaver, OF Pennsylvania, is
named as the representative of the crippled vet
Grams John Jacob Astor is the only applicant for
the mission to Paris or Berlin.
CARLYLE ordered that his funeral should be a
strictly private one, and his wishes were obeyed.

silence the coffin was lowered by relatives only,

MRS LILY LANGTRY with face in fepose Is rath-
er a ne-looking woman with heavy features and
large mouth-but not remarkable at all But
when she begins to talk and becomes animated
then the features of this Galatea grow radiant.
her eyes fash, the heavy look disappears, half a
dozen bewitching dimples come and go and the
large mouth smiles in exquisite curves. Mr..
Langtry Is an Irishman whose father aud grand
father sent ships between Liverpool and Belfast
since q hundred years ago. Mr.. Langtry In
herited their fortune and was brought up to no
profession.
| A WASHINGTON correspondent says the Hunt
ington portrait of Mrs Hayes is life size and rep
resents her standing in garden or conservatory
beside beautiful fountain. Her dress is of ruby
velvet In one hand she has a loose lunch of tea
roses and with the other hand she holds back the
heavy folds of her train; slender chain of gold
with pendent cameo medallion of President
Hayes, is her only jewelry. The position is
graceful, the surroundings appropriate, and the
face, with its firm. sweet womanlness, will
charm visitors long after the loved Lucy Webb
has passed away from earth, when her gentleness,
conscientiousness and rare tact viii be things of
memory. or hnger like legends In the midst of the
coming years.
JOHN I. MITCHELL, the new Senator-elect from
Pennsylvania, is about five feet ten inches high
and rather stout His face Is round and full and
always wears an expression of good nature. He
wears chin whiskers, which are light in color has
handsome mouth, and he viii be known as one
of the goodlooking Senators. He is fair speaker,
and though he would not be called an orator he
always speaks to the point. At times, as on one
occasion when he had wordy encounter with
speaker Patterson, when Member of the Legisla-
ture he shows that he has great force of express
sion. Among his friends Mr.. Mitchell is not
regarded as a hard worker. Indeed. he is said to
incline rather to Incidence. He has the habi of
running his hands through his hair, which gives
his head bushy appearance
THE Nashville American says: 1--WE certainly
wish that our Republican friends may have q
pleasant time at the Inauguration and that moth
ing may mar their enjoyment or rufie the feathers
OF harmony. AT the same time We are not with
out capacity for enjoying little confusion If they
insist embroiling themselves They have not
hesitated fifteen years after the War to declare
that man who was Confederate is unit TO ap-
appear in inaugural procession, and when men
thus make asses Of themselves the sensible world.
Republican and Democratic will not feel any
sympathy with them If they get into water so hot
to scald the hair off the entire occasion. 1t is
strange how impossible 1t appears to be TO get up
anything in this country without having the fools
and idiots excessively represented" The Sentinel
wonders whether Longstreet or Mosby would be
welcome at the inaugural.
No where is etiquette more rigidly observed
than in the old United States Senate Chamber,
