David Davis Way.

A Washington letter writer says:
Acting Vice President Davis says to
his friends that this is his last winter
in Washington. lie has no further
ambition for public life. lie is sixty.
eight years old. His wealth Is esti-
mated to be something in tue neigh
bOrhood Of four millions. all of his
fortune has been made in real estate.
From the earliest period Of his bust
ness life he has been very careful in
all his expenditures, investing bis
savings 10 real estate. Early invest
ments OF this character in Chicago
have given him enormous returns.
In nearly every way his private life
has been a model for a man holding
public position. He has never specu
lated in stocks. He has never INDUCED
in the current s%peculations of the day.
In the consideration of all public
questions he has always been free
therefore from even . thought Of self
interest. The only stock be has ever
owned in his life has been an interest
in the Bloomington National Bank.
While he has all his life long prac-
ticed a wise economy, he yet is liberal
to fault to those who have a Just
claim upon him. He is especially kind
to young men Of the right sort who
have their own way TO make in the
world. Several years ago a young
lawyer in Bloomington was atten.
tive to a young lady who was a ward Of
Senator Davis. The young lady had
property. The young man was pool
with only his profession for his sup
port. He came to the Judge anC
proposed for her hand, and asked fol
her guardian 5 consent. Judge Davi
took the case under advisement ant
soon rendered an adverse decision
His reason was a simple one. 1t wa
not because the young maR was poor
but because he discovered that he wa.
in the habit Of mourning needless
debts, without knowing or caring how
he was IN nav them

FACTS WORTH LOOKING AT.

The course Of the Republican representa-
tives in Washington deserves very serious
attention. The first step that was taken in
the house Of representatives, the election of
the speaker, showed the character of the
majority and the sort Of influences they were
prepared to bow to. Keifer, dull, stupid,
Ignorant man, totally unfit to be intrusted
with the duties of the speakership, was cleo.

who had directed the choice, promptly
showed himself This leader was not the
ablest Republican debater, not the most
skilled parliamentarian, nor the most rep
utable party manager. He was the keen

the thieving horde that has been devel-
oped and supported by the Republican par
ty during its protracted administration of
the national government Socor Robson
had been the bodest and most successful
of them all, and the leadership of the party
could have been given to such a man for no
other reason than because they thought
him the best fitted to conduct their plans
to success. With such leader the course
of the republican majority is easily under.

A SUMNER VISITOR.

What with April frosts, chilly spells il
May, and other abnormal meteorological
phenomena, the seasons of the year 1882 are
in such a confused state, that anything which
may be interpreted AS a sign Of their regu-
lar sequence is welcome on that account
alone This is one reason why we are glad
to receive the Summer number OF EhriChs'
Fashion Quarterly. Another reason is, that
the book is full of interesting matter, and is
decidedly the most agreeable melange of
literature and fashion that has been issued
from the press in long time. The cos
tunes illustrated are sufficiently diversified
in style and cost to enable every lady reader
to suit both her taste and pocket and
host of well executed woodcuts serves to
show each fair subscriber the last sweet
things in bonnets, the latest efforts in para
soils, the prevailing styles Of fans, and so on,
through the entire range of that delightful
science which the fair denominate shop

The purely literary features of the maya
zine are excellent. Eben E. Rexfords poem.
The Pattcr of Little Feet has tender
pathOs OF which the greatest Of our poets
might have felt proud. "Thc Editor at
Home" discusses current topics with quaint
h1mor in which strain of earnest purpose
is unobtrusively apparent; and charming
illustrated story, entitled Hard Times, en-
chains the readers interest from end to end.
Nor is purely instructive literature ncglec
ted; the lessons in China painting are con
tinued, and beautiful design for tile is
illustrated, with full directions for cxccu-
ton; an illustrated article on outline en-
broidery introduces a pleasing occupation
for summer afternoons; and the laws and
methods of archery and lawn tennis are de-
scribed in brace of we'll written articles.
Altogether, we think the Fashion Quar-
terly is success. Its cost is only fifty cents
year, and if its publishers propose to give
tor that price four books Of equal merit
with the one before US, they quite deserve
the success we wish them. The Magazine
is issued by Enrich Bros, Eighth Avenue,
New York.

The city council met again at the coun-
Gil chamber last night. Seven members
and the mayor were present. Alderman
Halliday again served as clerk, in the alb
senco of City Clerk Foley. The business
was purely, painfully routine. Perhaps the
only act OF more than ordinary Importance
was the passage, upon motion of Alderman
Blake, of the new ordinance reducing the
fire limits of the city. The new ordinance
includes all that portion of the city enclosed
by Twentieth street, and all lots AUDITING
on northerly side of same, from Ohio levee to
Washington avenue, and down the easterly
side of Washington avenue to the point. 1t
leaves out a-whole tier of blocks on the
westerly side of Washington avenue, from
Fourteenth street down to the gas works.
The ordinance establishing the Cairo public
library was also passed, which will be good
news for the women's club, and for the
reading public.
