o, YES; here is this man Mahone-
Senator Malone, of Virginia.
All of the Democratic editors, East,
West, North and South "swore like gen.
tlemen" less than two weeks ago that
Malone was Democrat, was born a
Democrat, and was Democrat still. If
he had voted with the Democrats in the
organization of the Senate he would have
been posey-a very sweet William
But he didn't; and, therefore, he becomes,
in the eyes of these same editors, a
"stinking old Wing" Confederate Brig
adler, a repudiator and a low strung vii
lain, on general principles. Gentlemen,
we beg you, as You are Christians, to re-
member that Paul stoned to death the
righteous Stephen no, not just that
but he held the hats and coats of the
young rascals who did. Did not Paul
afterward become one of the chiefs of
the Apostles? We grant you that Ma
hone has been. in some sort, a repudiator.
But he was Democrat then. st. Paul
saw fit to change his principles. When
he did so, what did the Pharisees do
Did they not rage like the heathen-
like Democratsp If Malone chooses to
exercise his constitutional right to
change, who shall say him nay.-(O. S

DAKOTA is expected to apply for ad-
mission to the Union at the next session
of Congress; and its request, III all prob
ability, will be granted, as there is no
longer Democratic majority to oppose
the development of the Northwest, SIM
ply because that section happens to be
largely Republican in its sympathies.
Some idea Of the magnitude of Dakota
may be had from the statement Of Gov
ernor Ordway in Washington recently,
that one might journey as far as from
Washington to the White Mountains, in
New Hampshire, without getting be-
yond the boundary line. 1t is proposed
to divide the territory, one portion to be
admitted as new State, the other to
remain as territory, or perhaps to be
erected into another State. The business
prospects of Dakota are described by
Governor Ordway as being very flatter'
ing. Last year about twenty towns were
built up on the lines of new railroads
and it is thought that at least $4,000 new
settlers will be attracted to the territory
within year. The yield Of gold il
steadily increasing in the Black Hills
which, on account of the pure, cool TEN
perature in summer and the fine scenery
are likely to become the favorite sum
mer resort of that section of the coun
try.

QUEENS OF THE CABINET.
Pen Pictures Ofthe Wives of Garfield's
Advisers.

. Seldom, writes a Washington CORES
pOndent, has it been that, in the selec-
tion of "a Cabinet, the wives of the mem
bers enjoyed such distinction, apart
from the reputation of their husbands,
as do some of those of the present Ad-
ministration.
Mrs. Blaine is a fine looking lady; tall,
with good features, and hair well sprin-
kled with gray. She is pleasant in her
manners, IA ready conversstionalist, and
shrewd. Her long experience in public
life has made her valuable acquisition
to the Administration, or at least to that
part of it represented by her husband.
Mrs. Blaine possesses those peculiar
qualifications which makes a wife a
great comfort to public man.
Mrs. Window is a fine, matrenly lady,
who has never shown any disposition
for society and its frvolities. While she
always dresses in good taste, in either
black silk or satin, or some solid color,
there is nothing dashing to distinguish
her in crowded reception room. She
appears to9est advantage in the home
circle.
The oldest fish in the Cabinet basket
is Samuel j. KirkwOod, the Secretary of
the Interior. He is plain man, and
has an agricultural appearance, but the
enc who picks him up as 4 fiat will be
mistaken. Little is known of his wife
beyond the fact that she is an estimable
lady, who partakes in measure the
quiet manner of her husband, and has
limited circle of acquaintances.
Secretary Lincoln's wife was Mary
Harlan, daughter of Ex-senator Harlan,
younger days the suitOrs for her hand
were numbered by the score. Her pres
ence in the charmed circle of the Cabi-
net will add to its brilliancy.
The fact that Mrs. MacVeagh is ST.
man Camerun's daughter has given her
reputation which has preceded her
here. She is tall, graceful of figure, and
having spent years in society with her
father when he was in the zenith of his
political glory and power, comes well
prepared for the new hOnors which both
her husband and herself will receive.
Those who know her intimately say that
she possesses in a marked degree many
OF the characteristics which distinguish
her father. and these traits are more
largely developed than in any of her
relatives Having been brought up in a
political atmosphere, she has acquired
the faculty of reading men and women
at glance; and am told that hers has
been the directing mind in many of the
movements made by her husband.
Mrs. Hunt will be the belle of the
Cabinet beyond doubt. She is beauti-
full blonde, agreeable in manner and cul-
tivated in taste. Mrs. Hunt is one of
the best educated ladies in Washington,
and withal brilliant society woman.
Her circle of aequaiRtanees is large and
she entertains with true Southern hber-
ality.
Postmaster James has lovely wife,
who will be an ornament to society
here.

A REFRESHING story for the dog-days
If it could be kept fresh until then, is
related by travelling salesman, Dow by
name, who was in Minnesota during a
recent "cold snap" Being snow-bound
in small village the only quarters he
could find for the night were in bleak,
half-furnished room, minus a stove, but
plus two broken panes in the window.
Mr. Dow accepted the situation, and,
chilled to the marrow, went to bed and
fell asleep. The next thing he was con-
scious of was being carried down stairs
He couldn't speak or move a muscle. nor
even realize what had happened. 1t ap-
pears that "blizzard" had set in, the
thermometer had fallen to 40 degrees
below zero, and Mr.. Dow had actually
frozen stiff before the other occupants of
the house could break into his room and
get him out of it. Fortunatel, a vigOr-
Gus course of treatment restored him to
action, and he is slowly but steadily re-
covering

SEVEN ASKED MEN robbed the house
of Mr.. john ConnOrs, wealthy and mi
serly old man living near Queenstown,
Pa. Whe the burglars entered, Mr.. Con-
nors and his wife were seated by the
fireplace. Upon entering. the burglars
ordered the old man to open his safe,
which stood in corner of the room. The
old man refused. Then they beat and
shot him, the ball taking effect in his
head. The old man still refused, and
the tiends proceeded to torture Mrs. Cor-
nors by putting her bare feet on the
burning Goals of the CRATE, threatening
to roast her alive. The old man could
stand it no longer, and he opened his
treasure box, when the burglars helped
themselves to gold, silver. bonds, etc, to
the amount of $4,000. The old man is
now lying in critical condition.

THE ignorance and superstition exist
ing in Austrian Poland are illustrated
by an occurrence in Biala, West Galicia,
where, last month, thousands of men and
women assembled IN front of church
and waited all day in the expectation of
seeing the devil appear in tangible and
visible form. The report had become cur
rent that he had been caught in Il tight
place by clever priest, who had subdued
him with holy water and prayer, and
that, loaded him with twelve chains, and
in the custody of four gendarmes, he
would have to visit tweDty-nine church.
IS before he could regain his liberty.

Gems of Thought.

When anger rises, think of the cOnse-
Quences.
By attention ideas are registered in
the memory.
Nature never says that which reason
will contradict.
Absence destroys trifling intimacies,
but it invig0rates strong ones.
Ambition breaks the ties of blood, and
forgets the obligations of gratitude.
All things are admired either because
they renew or because they are great.
In an angry instant a man may do
what lifetime of repentance cannot
undo.
Too much sensibility creates unhappi-
ness, too much insensibility creates
crime.
Let no man presume to give advice to
others that has not first given good ad-
vice to himself.
1t is always safe to learn. even from
our manifestation safe to instruct,
even our friends.
Expression is Of more consequence
than shape; it will light up features
otherwise heavy.
Things are stubborn and will be what
they are, whatever they think them or
wish them to be.
The heart, like balloon, is lightened
and elevated by throwing out some of
its heavy ballasts of money.
He that boasts of his ancestors, the
founders and raisers of family, doth
confess that he hath less virtue.
Don't be anxious until you are COM
pelled to be. Many man worries about
a ghost that never appears to him.
Nature confesseS that she has bestow-
ed upon a man most susceptible heart,
is that she has granted tears
An active career is not path of roses.
The moment you attempt distinction
YOU will be abused, eoiumninated, re-
viled.
First love, though the most ignorant.
is the purest of all; its bondage is closer
and thicker, but its pinions longer and
purer.
You may keep yOnr beauty, and your
health unless you destroy them yourself,
or discourage them to stay with you' oy
using them i'll.
A few ideas of our own Will save rs
from being too sensible to external I'M
pressions, as light in our room makes
lightning less binding.
Outward actions can never give JuSs
estimate of us, since there are many
perfections of man which are not ca
pable OF appearing in actions.
Don't be afraid of appearances SO long
as your life is all right. No one can
better afford to have ill-tempered things
said of him than the man who does not
deserve them.
We should never forget that home IS
the residence not merely of the body but
the mind: and that the object or all am
bition should be to be happy at home
and to render home happy.
There is a conscience of the head rs
of the heart, and in old age we feel as
much remorse, if we have wasted our
natural talents. as il We have prevented
our natural virtues.
If YOU have made mistake don't think
il a condescension to apologize. The
true gentleman is always ready to reetl-
fy a blunder. Only the mule bites win
I one end and kicks with the other.
No two minds are ever the same; and
therefore any man who will give u.s.
fairly and frankly, the results of ms
own impressions, uHintuenced by the
servilities of imitation, will be original.
