night She sailed from Queenstown October 10. 1t
was thought probable thatshe would not make MS fast

her machinery Is new. IL is not unlikely that the Ar
IONA which sailed from Queenstown on the day fol-
lowing the City of Rome, will arrive here soon as
the latter II the City of Rome should arrive Oft
nearly twenty-six feet of water, she cannot cross
the bar excepting at high tide, which will be about

Yesterday, And if she should not arrive to-day un-
Til after high tide she cannot come the bar

NUMBER 20.
Three Notable Men.

Three men were sworn as members
OF the House of Representatives on
the 7th of December, 1868, whose
lives have been full OF coincidence.
These men were William B. Allison,
James G. Blaine and James A. Gar
field. The first was born in 1929, the
second in 1880, and the last named in
1881. From the very day they first
took the oath they became fast
friends and that friendship has not
been marred or broken up to the
present day by an unkind word,
thought, or deed. Each one was
born on a farm. All taught school,
all studied law, all went to the lower
House of Congress, and all were pro-
Insstecs to-the-ssensstesss-fa a c.-kl.@a.ei---.,.
the Oldest is much the youngest in
appearances. Indeed, Mr.. Allison,
though fifty-two years of age, might
easily be taken for forty while the
other two look as old as they are.

Solomon and the Blacksmith.

The story goes that during the
building of Solemon's Temple that
wise ruler decided to treat the artisans
employed on his edifice to a banquet.
While the men were enjoying the
good things his bounty had providea,
King Solomon moved about from
table 10 table, endeavoring to become
better acquainted with his Workmen.
TO one he said:
"My friend, what is your trade ?"
ga carpenter?"
"And who makes your tools?'
"The blacksmith replied the car
penter.
To another he said: "What is your
trade ?" aud the reply was ga ma
SON."
"And who makes your tools ?"
"The blacksmith" replied the ma
son.
A third stated he was stone cutter,
and that the blacksmith also made
his tools. The fourth man that King
Solomon addressed was the black
smith himself. He was powerful
man, with barred arms, on which the
muscles stood out in bold relief,
seeming almost as hard as the metal
he worked.
"And what is your trade, my good
man ?" said the king.
1.-THE blacksmith" lace ncially re-
piled the man of the anvil and sledge.
"And who makes your tools ?"
"Make them myself" said the
blacksmith.
Whereupon King Solomon pro-
claimed him the king of mechanics,
because he could not only make his
tools, but all other artisans were
forced to 60 to him to haye theil
tools made.

1t is believed that seventy million
dollars will have been disbursed at the
close of the present year on account
of pensions, while the indications are
that next year as much as one hum
dred million dollars will be required
to pay this class of claims. In view
of the enormous expenditure made
necessary by the hasty legislation
under which the bulk of these claims
are payable, the ability of the govern
ment to proceed so rapidly with the
liquidation and refunding of the ma
tionaI debt bears striking witness to
the wonderful recour"es of the repub-
lie. OF course the outlay on account
of pensions does not represent an abb
solute loss. The money does not
leave the county, and while much of
it is absorbed by middle men much
goes to benefit deserving people.
But the wender is that this excep-
tional expenditure should be concur
rent with large and steady reduc-
tion of the debt, and with tighten
ing of the burden of taxation. The
only possible explanation is to be
found in the substantial prosperity
and the great natural wealth of the
nation.

Another Independent Movement.

The spirit of Independence is not
confirmed to Virginia. Register
Bruce has received a telegI am from
Mississippi stating that large meet
ing of independent Democrats, Green
hackers and Republicans was being
held at jackson for the purpose of
forming some plan of agreeing upon
State ticket by which they could
this fall wrest the State from Bour-
bon control. 1t was not proposed to
renominate ticket, simply to agree
upon how it should be divided. Reg
lister Bruce says the State is largely
Republican, with a fair count, and
believes that with coalitian of the
kind proposed, not only the State
ticket could be elected, but that a
majority of the Legislature, which
elects successor to Lamar, can be Sc
cured.

Col. Valentine Baker, an officer in
the British army, was convicted in
August, 1875, ofinsuting conduct to-
wards young lady who was travel
ing in the same railway car. The
lady sprang to the platform and
clung to the guard.rail in an exceed
ingly perilous position until the
train stopped. Col. Baker was sem
fenced to twelve months imprison-
ment and to pay fine of 9500. He
was also dismissed from the army
and expelled from the Army and
Navy Club. When the war broke
out between Russia and Turkey he
entered the service of the Sultan and
was honored with the title of "Pas-
ha." According to a cable dispatch,
his old associates have so far condon-
ed his offence as to readmit him to
membership in the Army and Navy
Club.

A woman may be handsome or re-

A woman may be handsome or re-
markably attractive in various ways
but if she is not personally neat, she
cannot hope to win admiration. Fine
clothes will conceal the slattern. A
young lady with her hair always in
disorder and her clothes hanging
about her as asifsuspended from prop,
is always repulsive. Slattern is
written on her person from the crown
of her head to the soles of her feet,
and if she wins husband, he will
turn out in all probability, either an
idle fool or drunken ruffian. The
bringing up of daughters to beable to
work, talk and act like honest sensi-
BILE young women, is the special task
of all mothers, and in the Industrial
ranks there is imposed also the prime
obligation of learning to respect
household work for its own sake and
the comfort and happiness it will
bring in the future. HOusework is
drudgery but it must be done by
somebody and had better be well done
than ill done.

The investigation into the distri-
button of the Government bonds is
not completed, but some ofthe figures
ascertained in general way and
stated in Washington dispatches are
of interest. Mr.. Porter divides up
the registered bonds as follows:
New England States, il per cent;
Middle States, 40 per cent ; Southern
States, 2 per cent; Western States,
81 per cent ; banks and other corpor-
ations, 35l per cent. Some of the
figures are curious. For example,
Massachusetts, with only one-fifth as
many registered bonds as New York,
has 1900 holders to $4,000 in New
York. Mr.. Porter estimates that
the National debt is owned by less
than 1000 persons.

Sixty millions worth of gold bull

and night. There were ninety mil
lions' worth received at the New
