The WHITE HOUsE.-The public will
be gratiiied to learn that the work of rem
Ovating the White House is going on
briskly; that plumbers are specially busy
there; that the gas and sewer pipes are to
be taken out and replaced with porcelain
lined piping; and that particular atten-
tiOn is to be paid to the condition of the
bathrooms, and their sanitary improve
ment. There are to be new carpets also,
with new furniture, altogether costing
$4,000. The public received an impress
sion during the illness of President Gar
field that the White House was not a safe
edifice to live i'll. Possibly the feeling
against the structure was somewhat exag-
gerated, but there was doubtless some
truth in the criticism of the house which
was so freely uttered. Nopossible amount
of money is of the least consequence
when weighed against the health and life
of the Chief Executive of the Republic.

The New York Graphic printed very
good picture of King Kalakau's daughter
and just because the king has no daugh-
ter some of its contemporaries are scold-
ing it. But right here iswhcre the Graphic

publish the portrait of a person that has
an existence, but to print correct like

The Domestic Tyrant.

No person more completely possesses
the power of creating misery, in his house
than the domestic tyrant. embitterinr ne
he does the lives of his nearest relative.
oy MS selhshncss and exigeant temper.
The great essentials for happiness in social
lie are freedom and trust but these i'm
portant elements are banished out of the
little homework ruled over bv ono of
these imperious autocrats. He makes il g,
rule TO exhibit the most profound disrc-
gard for the feelings of others. and by an In
dulgencein covert sneers. harsh and insult
ing words, the scll-cOntrol of his victims is
sorely tried. Consciousness of power is no
doubt the cause Of his overbealinp WAYS
The domestic tyrant always has the high
est possible appreciation of himself His
opinion admits of no questioning: being
his opinion it must be right, and in an
arbitrary manner he expects his family TO
acqulcScc, or to feign acuuiescencc. with
him on all points. He looks upon himself
III every sense as a superior being. far
above his surroundings. In his own csti-
nation he is too highly bred and too re-
hned, to support the incOnveniencies of
daily occurrencies which are endured by
others. His organization is too sensitive
and finely strung to tolerate small domes-
tic troubles. He, if anything. is ONLY too
generousand virtuOus; he feels compassion
TOR himself alone, regrctting that the
grandeur of his character is not sufficiently
appreciated. His most trifing acts are
magnified by him into cxamplesof stupend-
Gus liberality. In his complete self-satis-
faction. he announces he is only too GOOD
III sacrificing himself, and he laments that
he does rot receive the admiration he
considers his due.
lie possesses in the highest degree the
power of wOunding the feelings Of others
and by his persistent efforts to mortifv
their senSibilities*, he appears to treat that
power as an accomplishment which he
never neglects to display at every oppor-
tunity. The inmates of many an appar-
entity happy home if questioned as TO the
background, would bear testimony as to
wrung hearts, caused by the domestic
tyrant. No wonder, with such man for
the head Of the house, there is a general
sense of relief when the front door shuts
behind him, and feeling Of suppressed
JOY when he is away. Besides the misery
caused by him to his household. the
domestic tyrant must really experience a
considerable amount ofdiscomfort himself
lie cannot fail to perceive the sort of
change that comes over the cheerful party
when he appears, or nust tell him how
carefully topics Of conversation are chosen
for the family meals, how much constraint
prevails, and what a strict avoidance of
any subject there is that NAV lead to
wrathful questions. CuriOusly enough.
out of his home he is generally the genial,
jovial sort of man, and very likely is look
ed upon as q rather good-hearted sort of
fellow, for it Is only to his family that he
shows his teeth.-EaSf and Vest

from complete destruction and preserve
it at least in its present extent, Rustem
Pacha, the GovernOr-Generalo of the I.eba-

tanning n series ofSstringent regulations
calculated to check, if not quite to put
stop to, the vandalism and carelessness of

to put up tents or other kinds of shelter
