Gently who evnced triac more stubborn

Lancaster Gasette: Senator Thurman
gave his views OH the temperance question
in some remarks which he made in the U.
s. Senate few days since upon bill re
lating to the District of Columbia. We
consider his views practical and sound on
this question, so far as they were expressed
in the words attributed to him on the oc.
casion referred 10. He said he for one
would vote square for liquor license, for
he had seen the effect of not granting Ii
cerses. The Constitution of Ohio in 1851
prohibited licenses, and the consequence
was there had been at least two drinking
places in the State for one existing when
the prohibition was made. He believed
wherever prohibltory policy was adopted
it's effects upon the public morals and pub
lie health would be injurious.

During the ninety days Of Cabinet dis.

81 900 per DAY for telegrnphing on that
mans account, or 100000 for the three
montls. The special correspondents must
be paid also, say half n cent n word, which
makes an addition OF $500 per day, or $45,
900 for the period OF ninety days. For
advertising in the reading matter ten cents
~ liue would he low estimate for the
thousand papers. The one hundred words
devoted to Foster would occupy about
twelve lines. In 1000 papers twelve lines
at ten cents per line would amount to ST.
900 per day, or $l0S,000 for ninety days
hut 10 this is to be added half as many
lines OF editorial devoted to the same slib-
ject, and twenty cents per line would be a
low price to pay for such editorial notices.
Here, then, we have an additional item of

The following from tie well posted
Washington correspondent of the lndi-
annapolis journal is worth reading;
president Arthur belonged to tue
sanie party and was elected upon the
same ticket by the same electors Ms his
predecessor. He was i warm personal
friend of the man he succeeded, and the
l%attcr's death caused him as great dis
tscss AS il Ec had lost a member Of his
" family. As n result of the first
coalition President Arthur comes to
the Executive Chair a supporter of the
same principles and as executor OF the
same line of policy MS his predecessor.
As A result of the second condition, he
lrlpgs with him no animOsities, while
ais position demands Of him greater
IIings than the revenge of petty stings,
inflicted by the insects who now crawl
at his feet or predict for his Admins
tration a black-tlag crusade against MS
supposed enemies.
president Arthdr's course, as nearly
as can be gathered from his immediate
friends, will be prudent and conserva-
tive. Its believed that under his adj
ministration the Republican party Will
become more closely united and better
organized than it has been for years"

The Other New Vice President.

In orr last we mentioned the TACT
that Senator Bayard of Delaware had
been chosen President Of the Senate,
thus becoming first ia the line of sue
cession to the Presidency. He was elect
ed by the Democrats taking advantage
of the situation and choosing him.hefore
fine three new Senators has been sworn
in, But since then things have chang
ed: the three new Senators were admit
ted and the Republicans on tho thIrd
day arose in their might and unseated
Mr.. Bayard and placed in the chair as
Vice President of this Nation, the 5oV
pound Independent Senator, David Da-
Wis of Illinois.
We take the following from the pro
cecdings:
A vote was taken on Senator LoSan's
resolution and it was adopted; yeas 80,
nays 81, Senator Davis, of Illinois, re-
Trained from voting, and Senator Bay
ard. when his name was called, said;
"I propose to withhold my vote, have
never obtained Office by my vote, and
never shall retain it by my vote. l am
rlad the question is taken up to-day"
Senator Davis was then escorted to
the chair by Senators Bayard and Az
thony, the respective Democratic and
Republican candidates for the same Of
flee.
On taking the chair, Senator Davis
said: "Senators: The honor just con-
ferred, comes as the seat which now
occupy in this body did, without any
expectations on my part, fit carried
a,f party obligations, | should be con-
strained to decline this high compll-
ment. l do not accept it as a tribute to
INV personal merit, but rather as a re-
cornition of an independent position

to wait upon the President and an

ySEeo Should Bow EsFsss

Who should bow first? Some authorities
insist that gentleman should not bow to
lady until she bows to him. the allthor OF
the american Code Of manners" say this is
all wrong. "a gentleman should always
bow first to q lady, no matter whether she re-
turns or not. If he sees by her face that she
does not wish to return it, he can refrain
from howing the next time This en- the
ground that "a lady, particularly an elderly
one or society leader, perfaps, has SO many
aculaintances that she does not remember all
the young men who nave been presented.
This, however, does not seem to settle the
question conclusively, forit may be that the
young man has quite as many acquaintance
az the lady, even if an elderly one. He may
himself, too, very likely be society leader;
in fact, We y large number OF the leaders
Of society at the present time are OF what
would have been considered fifty years ago a
comparatively immature age. Our own opin-
ion is. and it has been arrived at after reflec-
ton, that both persons should boy stimuli
taneously. Perhaps in the case OF very
near-sighted person little latitude might
be given, provided the fact of myopia can
be clearly proved by medical evidence.
There is, however, always danger in these
exceptions TO social rules, and therefore it
may be safer for near-sighted persons to
bow in all cases Of doubt, accustoming
themselves to do this with uniform courte-
sy whether they are themselves recognized

In the heart Of the most fashionable por-
ton Of the metropolis is a neat, unobtrusive
house, the blinds of which are rerely opened
and the threshold of which is rarely darken-
ed by any female form save that of its owner,
while gentlemen are coming and going at all
hours, especially after dark. It is the home
of one who IS to Washington what Aspasia
was to Athens large, handsome, Well-de
yeloped women, with 7ivacious manners and
great conversational powers. Courted and
vet stunned. admired yet condemned, she
has leading Congressman, officers of the army
and navy, ard men high up in our civil ser
vice in her cosy dining or around her
delieiously laden supper table. A railroad
interest retains her, and she is awarded 9
contingent il almost every scheme for
plundering the Treasury through Congress.
Every Sunday morning she is .sat home, :
and at IL O'clock the door Of her dining-rcon
is thrown open, disclosing 9 supper cooked
ID the most artistic style, with wines OF the
rarest vintages Occasionally, but seldom,
she visits the capitol, and Is seen in the gal
