THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH "a.
Our Walls.
-

We entertain great doubt whether persons
who have to consider the decoration of rooms
sufficiently regard the functions of walls. A
wall must generally speaking, be mere back
ground, and therefor it must be decorated as
far as possible in such way as to throw up the
foreground. In some sense pictures must be
considered part of the foreground, and there
fore where the owner of house possesses pic
lures worth looking at, the object of the decor
ator should be, as far as possible, to make the
wall so negative in character as not to attract
the eye, but to allow it to be attracted by the
pictures, the ornaments and the people, Hence
where there are pictures large patterned papers
or papers of any kind are undesirable, and
wall painted or distempered green, buff or gray
in such shades as may be best suited to the
situation of the house, is to be preferred.
Elaborate patterns broken by pictures bring
the reverse of harmony into a room and if
statuary, whether in the shape of marbles or
bronzes, be part of the ornaments of a room, a
patterned paper is very fatal to all good effects,
and quite puts an end to the simplicity and
dignity of sculpture.
But, undoubtedly, if room is not adorned
with pictures or graceful ornaments, then some
Kind OF pattern on paper may be desirable to
break the monotony of blank wall but no
one who has noticed the effects of flowers or
ferns against plain green or gray wall can
fail to see how infinitely preferable is an un-
patterned wall for bringing out the beauty of
nrtural or artificial objects. In these days,
when engravings and etchings are within the
reach of most, not to speak of autotypes and
other reproductions, we are inclined to believe
that in entertaining rooms, as they are called,
the day for patterned papers has passed. In
bed rooms it may be different; neatness and
the appearance of comfort may be given by
light and sensible-patterned papers, convention
alizing as far as possible natural objects, which
are always graceful, rather than artificial pat
terms, which are generally quite the reverse

WASHINGTON, March 23.-In the Senate to-

OF the Senate to get up his resolution denounc-

Mr.. Ferry opposed the reception of the reso-
luton as opening the door for the discussion of
legislative subjects.
Mr.. Morrill, of Vermont took the same
ground.
Mr.. Sherman hoped that Mr. Voorhees,
would be permitted to speak to the point of
Mr.. Morrill, said he had no objection to his
speaking to the point of order.
Mr.. Voorhees, then proceeded to argue that
the proposition was clearly in order, and cited
from precedents to show that at a special ex-
ecutive session of the Senate any business
could be transacted which did not need the CO.
operation of the House of Representatives.
Mr. Morrill, withdrew his point of order
against Mr.. Voorhees, resolution, which was

Frauds on American Travellers.

MACON, Ga, March pa special cores
pondent of the Telegraph and Messenger, who
went upon the recent excursion to Cuba.tgives
an instance OF systematic fraud upon Ameri-
can tourists. At Nassau the party obtained
from the Spanish consulpasspor.s at a cost ofS4
each, permitting them to visit the island, and
good for six months Before arriving at Ma
tanZas the purser took them, saying that he
was compelled to show them to the Spanish
officials, and that the custom house would re-
turn them through the American Consul. The
Consul and Lewis Drake, a clerk in the office
OF the Mallooy's steamship agency, before sur
rendering the passports demanded $3.50 to
have them revised, which amount 60 of the
party paid They then demanded $3.50 to
have them revised again before leaving the
island. The captain of the vessel and the the
American Consul said the charges were cor
rect, and that; the party would probably be
jailed if they failed to pay. All paid again.
The passengers reported the affair to the gov
ernor OF the province, who ordered a file of
soldiers and arrested R. w Roosevelt the
American Consul, and Lewis Drake. They
begged Tor mercy and refunded the money to
all present. Forty witnesses can be produced
to prove the facts.

ANTI-MASONRY.
Almost Riot in New Hamp-

TWO SPEAKERS ROUGHLY HANDLED

NEWMARKET, N. H., March 23.-The Ma
sonic exposition and lecture at the town hall
last Monday night came near ending in a tu-
multi The speaker, Rev. j. f. Brown claims
to be an agent OF the National Christian Asso-
citation, and pretends to show up and expose
the ceremonies, obligations and practical work
lngs OF Freemasonry and other kindred secret
societies. Eight o'clock found 500 people in
attendance. Rev. S G. Kimball, formerly of
Stratford, N. H., a co-worker with Brown,
offered prayer, which was cheered Justify, after
which Brown read from the Bible and then
sang "The Good Time is Coming On" 1t
soon became evident that there was trouble
ahead, for the audience gave vent to their
feelings in howls cat yalls and stamping. The
speaker was unable to be heard, and the meet
ing broke up. The police were called upon
but did nothing. The speakers faces were
white with fear. A rush was made for the
platform, the tables were overturned and anti
Masonic charts, books and handbills belonging
to Brown were scattered in all directions The
seiectmen were called in, but did not quell the
disturbance Prominent Masons addressed the
crowd in spirit of pacifcation, but to no pur-
pose, and it looked as if nothing short of the
militia could save them from violence FL
nally order was partially restored, and they
were allowed to depart in peace by promising
not to appear here again under similar crcum-
stances, a score or more of MaSons and the en-
tire police force doing escort duty. As it was,
the party went out on the double quick. Had
1t not been for the Intervention of parties as
above mentioned serious consequences must
have followed to both parties and property.

Mrs. Carlyle and Leigh Hunt

While Leigh Hunt was strolling one morn
ing in the private grounds of Holland House,
he was met by Lord John Russell, then one of
Queen Victorias ministers In the course of
conversation the minister said that the queen
had been pleased to grant Carlyle pension of
600 year, adding. "As you, Mr.. Hunt, are a
near neighbor of his, it will perhaps be an
agreeable task to be the first to announce the
compliment to him." Leigh Hunt was soon at
Cheyne Row. Mrs. Carlyle was so delighted
with the good news that she threw her arms
around the messengers neck, and gave him q
good hearty "Scotch smack" as they call a
kiss in the Land o. Cakes. The next morning
Leigh Hunt sent to Mrs. Carlyle this verse;
