! maker as beautiful and perfect tit,
, and is finished.
Beautiful it certainly is, far more
beautiful than anything Ter husband
ever wears. Colors and material,
style, blending shades and contrast
ing bits of color, are all in the per-
lection of good taste. No man can
improve upon that. But it isn't fin
ished. When it is completed as far
as the skill of the dressmaker can
finish it, and it is put on, it has to be
pinned. Somewhere; sometimes in
two or three, often in half a dozen
places. 1t always requires a pin.
Leave out the pin and the dress is
ali awry somewhere. On all this
broad continent there is not one
American woman who can dress so
as to make any kind Of appearance in
good society without pins.
Now, suppose our tailor should
send our suit home, and when we had
put on the coat we had to pin it at
the back ! Or suppose there was no
snspeDder buttons aft, and we had to
use pins there Suppose we had our
shirts so We would have to pin on the
collar--how long would such shirt
OF such a suit of clothes stay in the
house? Who would be responsible
for the language used by the man who
had to pin his coat? No tailor would
dare tempt the wrath of an indepen-
dent man. But woman alas, she
patiently pins on the dress that she
paid some $50 or $40 to make, and
doesen't think anything about it.
We will not pursue this painful sub
ect. Let the women of America take
t up, and think about it, and learn,
n the noble independence OF woman
hood, to make their clothes before
hey put them on.

Magazine Notices.

Scribner'S for January is q remarkably good
number throughout, the instalment of Mr.. Eu-
gene Schuyler's Peter the Great being decid-
edly the best that has yet appeared, both as to
the excellence of the illustrations and the value
OF the matter. The article on The London
Theatres is decidedly good one, though the
readers of Scribner's in England will be likely
to contest the writer's assertion that there is no
such thing in existence as an English stage
that "the comparatively simple and homogene-
GUS character of the English stage haa become
a sort of musty tradition, and in its place we
have several dozen small theatrical enterprises
which live entirely on what the French call
'expedients,' and compass their degree of sue
cess by methods decidedly incongruous." The
series of papers on Millet is concluded, the
illustration being an effective head by the
painter himself, and the second of the Glimpses
of Partisan Art is given, with some notably
good engravings. One of the best and most
timely of the articles in the number is that by
the Rev. DIR. Charles S. Robinson on The
Bible Society and the New Revision. As
usual, the editorial departments are full and
newsy
The January st. Nicholas fairly rivals If it
does not exceed the Christmas number in at
fractions. A decided novelty is a contribution
by "Bright Eyes," the Indian girl, who writes
about Indian child life. In Every Boy His
Own Ice Boat is described new sport for
skaters, and The Childrens Fan Brigade is a
description of another novel entertainment
for children's festivals. Mrs. Clara Erskine
Clement furnishes the first of her promised pa
pers on Art and Artists. Frank r. Stockton
contributes fairy story, I'll. FL. Boyeson fur.
nishes poem, and there are numerous other
capital things in the reading and pictorial line.

Lincoln on Sumner.

A gentleman tells the following new anec-
dote of Lincoln: AS I rose to leave Mr.. Lin
coin picked up and handed me note to look
at. 1 recognized Senator Summers handwrit-
ing as took it, and was not, therefore, par
ticularly surprised to find it alarming and mys-
terious in tone, bidding Mr.. Lincoln, for par
ticular reasons, to be very careful how he
went out alone at night. saw that Mr.. Lin
coin watched me while read the note, and /,
perhaps, may have expressed in my counte-
nance an opinion of the communication which
did not think it civil to put into words
merely reiterating, as put it back on the ta-
BILE, my own conviction that there was nothing
to fear in Washington, and no occasion for
measures likely to influence the public unfa-
vorably in other parts of the country As
arose to go Mr.. Lincoln pulled himself together
up out OF the rocking chair in which he had
packed himself, and, scanning me good-na-
turedly for one moment, said very abruptly:
lyon never pnt backs with Sumner, did
you?" supposed looked as much surprised
as L felt; but laughed and said that did not
think ever had done so. "Well, I suppose
not" he said; and then, hesitating moment,
went on: when he was in here, asked him
to measure with me; and do you know he
made a little speech about it." tried to look
civilly curious, and Mr.. Lincoln, with an in
describable glimmer all over his face, contin-
ued: YES" he said, she told me he thought
this was a time for uniting our fronts and not
our backs before the enemies of the country
or something like that. Tt was very fine.
But 1 reckon the truth was,," ard at this point
l wasl compelled against my will to laugh
aloud, II reckon the truth was ne was afraid
to measured" And at this he looked down
with some complaceney on his own really in
deseribable length of limb. ''He is a good
piece of man, though, Sumneros he added
half quizzically half apologetically, "and

The Town Hall. !.
[Burdette.l


d OF course Shrewsbury, SO gifted in other re-
spects, has that New England abomination
known as the town hall. sb6. s..,,
% Now let me tell you kindly. and in a spirit of
long suffering and martyrdom, let me talk to
you like man of much sorrow, about the New
England town hall. 1t is the only fault have
to find with New England have never said
a good word about a New England town hall
have never had occasion to. Nor do i con-
denim it. s1 r.i .afs a'9iGU .IiL rI.bI1 it. ri,
Oh no, brother, condemn is too light word
Better people never crowd into worse places
than assemble in the New England town
halls.
The town hall looks we'll enough from the
outside. 1t is generally plain, 1t might be a
Quaker church or a court house or a public
school or library building or all four of them
When you are on your way to the hall the
committee say to you: n'u"fT Toe9-h",i ,i- p. ~
"Our town hall, by the way has a very bad
echo; we have tried" ETC., ETC., land you
will have to" etc.
That settles it. Every man or woman who
has spoken in New England town hall will
know the rest of the formula. 1t never varies.
1t is the same in all towns. The speaker is ex-
of the architect, and make himself heard in u
hall that makes a concert of a single voice, and
rattles quiet lecture about Ikea handful of
pebbles in snare drum. The worst hall in
its acoustic qualities is the three million dollar
court house at Carlinville, Illinois. And the
next worse is the New England town hall. 4.
The Shrewsbury town house caught fire last
week, so that l did not have to speak in it,
Thus does Providence favor the truly good. 'o

Bernhardt's Rival.

A few minutes later we pass the house of
Croizette, the celebrated actress of the Com
edie Francais, and having it all her own way
since the departure Of Bernhardt. Croizette
has salary from the government of 25,0OO
francs per annum. 1t keeps her in gloves, bot
tines and bonbons. She has three very beauti-
full children, and though she is mademoiselle,
they accompany her everywhere, and are we'll
cared for by their respective fathers. One of
them, boy, is the acknowledged child of the
Due dAumale, son of Louis Philippe, and is
the exact image of his grandfather. The house
is very handsome structure of white stone.
In Croizette's more beautiful days she sat as a
model for the figure of Truth" now ON exhi-
bition in the Luxembourg, and which repre-
sents perfectly nude woman with a lamp in
her hand. 1tis said that when this picture
was completed the actress went to see 1t with
number of friends, among them rich but
very stupid young marquis who, after examin
ing the painting. inquired, "Mademoiselle, why
do you carry lamp?'' To which Croizette
naively and to the horror Of the artist, re-
sponded, mon Dieu, monsieur, je cherche
mes habits" II am looking for my clothes.)
Croizette is no longer beautiful. She looks
like an exceedingly fat Modieska, if one can
imagine such an anomoly, and scarcely opens
her large dark eyes in talking. She is very
popular, and gives elegant receptions weekly

That Governorship.

Our correspondent. II. A. j., who has
written SO well and so suggestivelv of the
Governor question, returns to his discussion
this morning. He seems to think the PRESS
assumes to pass judgment upon the validity
of the plurality amendment. He is mis-
taken. That is a question the PRESS does
not raise-a question it fails to see the nee
essity of raising. Until the amendment is de-
clared unconstitutional neither the people,
nor their servants the members of the Leg
islature, can rightfully disregard it,
1t is a question whether or not the
amendment is retroactive. If retroactive it
is net necessarily illegal. The question is
not one of criminal law, nor is the obliga-
tion Of contracts menaced. The candidate
v no received plurality of votes can be de-
clared Governor without harm to the com
mon veal, without violation of the constitu-
ton, and without injury to any man,
by so doing the common expectation will be
met.
What are the facts concerning the plu-
rahty amendment? 1t was passed by Re
for it voted with the understanding that it
applied to the election of 1880. 1t was
adopted by a large majority. The election
resulted in plurality of votes for the Fus-
ion candidate. That was not the result an
ticipated by the trainers and defenders of
the amendment. What of that? Is the
Republican party going to take advantage
of the baby act?' Is it going to put in plea
of ignorance and carelessness? Is it, be-
cause of dislike to the Fusion candidate, GO
Ing to follow the example of Garcelon and
his gang, and resort to technicalities in order
to defeat the will of the people? Or will it
be governed in its action by the broad and
equitable decisions of the Court last winter?
The people adopted the amendment by a
great and decisive majority, with the under
standing that it applied to the September
election. Shall "effect be given to their
natural and obvious meaning" or shall it be
''strangled by idle technicalities" and "dis-
torted by carping and captious criticism?'
That is the question for the Republican
party to answer. 1t can give effect to the
amendment without prejudice to any legiti-
mate interest, with benefit to itself and JUS
tice to its adyersaries. The title given by
the Legislature will not be questioned, nor
the acts Of the Governor SO chosen be dis
puted. What good can possibly come to
constitutional government, to the State,
OF to the Republican party by doing other
80 Il.
we anticipated. But we have made our
bed. Let us lie in it, and yawn, and twist
our limbs through the next two years. We
shall be better chambermaids because of the
experience. If we disown the work of our
own hands it is possible the people will dis
own us. The polite thing to do is also the
right thing. Let it be done.

time Alps. These may look on if they please
whilst others ruin themselves, but a paternal
government is mindful Of their welfare, and
will save them whether they will or not. All
the nations of the world contribute to the 81
100000 francs year which the bank is report
ed to gain. Among those who lose the largest
sums are Russians. The French, chiefly Pa
risians, contribute most largely to the, crowds
at the tables. Poles play when they have any
money. The Germans leave good many flo
rims behind them, though they play so eau
tiously that, taking into account the expenses
per hour of the magnificent establishment, they
are held to be among the least remuneratiye
customers of the bank. Spaniards cross the
Pyrenees to play, and Italy makes a fair use
of the advantages of geographical proximity.
1t is satisfactory to know that the English are
clasSed among the least frequent customers OF
the bank. Even the quota contributed by
Amer Ca is understood to exceed that furnished
by Great Britain and Ireland. 1t is motley
multitude, speaking all known tongues and
displaying with manifold expression the one
absorbing passion. More than one-half of the
habitual players are women-wonen of all
ages and conditions of life. .'
