CLYDE HARRON.

The same bird sits on the swaying bough
And carols the same sweet tune.
The flowers that round me blOssoming re
Have lost neither scent nor bloom.
The same bright sun its Alliance sheds
Upon bird and Towering lea.
And yet the sun Is not the sun
OF an hour ago to me.
The summer sky above me spreads
It> dome of azure blue,
With not so much as Q summer cloud
To dim its brilliant hue.
And yet, above my world is s2read
A leaden, dsrkened sky,
That changes the pretty woodland scene
OF the hour that Is just gone BY.
The little brook, with its silvery voice,
Is flowing by banks as green
As when passed, an hour ago,
And named 1t "Hsppy Stream"
And now the brook, with Its tinkling spray.
Has to me voice Of pain,
But know the voice Is merry.
The sadness. my hearts refrain.
All, yes, the scene ia Just the same,
And the bird on the swinging bough,
But q something from out my heart Ii gone

Home Beautlners.

Among other pretty ways to finish the
edge OF silk lounge quilt are these;
Put a border of narrow ribbon on in
strips, make point on the end of each
piece OF ribbon, and under these, allow.
ing it to show tride below them, put a
ruffie of lace. The other way is to omit
the lace and put tassel or small ball on
each point.
A somewhat novel way to trim table
scarf is to put three-cornered pieces of
silk or satin on each end. Have these
pieces half yard deep at the longest
side, in the corner embroider q spray of
flowers; where the satin or silk end joins
the center part of the scarf put row OF
fancy stitches. A dark crimson felt
scarf with one end of light blue, the
other Of crimson shaded to brown, is very
handsome.
A useful and even tasteful cover for
the marble slab of the sideboard is made
of strip of canton flannel just the width
of the slab. 1t should be long enough to
hang aver at the ends four or five inches.
Trim the ends with white or colored ball
fringe, and if you wish to, a row of Kate
Greenaway figures may be outlined at
each end. Line the flannel with firm,
white cotton cloth, or with turkey red
calico.
Applique figures, cut from cretonne on
felt or monte cloth, can be done in this
way: First, cut the figures from the
cretonne, and then place them on paper
and trace their outline, after which cut
out the paper figures and place them in
any form that you choose on the felt,
cloth or whatever material your cover
is to be made Ct. You may have them in
rows across the front. or in a border
around the edge, or in corner boquets,
or in a wreath 10 the center. After ar
ranging the paper flowers, You put the
cretonue ones over it ard hem stitch
them around with black silk or any pref
tily contrasting color. Line to cover
with silesia, and il finish is needed You
may put cord or fringe on it.
There is at present q mania for darped
lace or net. This dsrning is done with
linen or silk floss and crewels. This en-
broidery net is exceedingly handsome
and very expensive when bought, but to
many ladies the mere fact that il is their
own work gives charm and value to il
that no bought work could possibly pos
sess. An exquisite lambrequin is made
Of white bobtinet worked with filoselle
in Gobelin stitch. Tho Vandyked edge
is done in olive shade and button-holed
on the edge, while each point has tAssel
OF olive silk tied with red silk. The CEN
ter of the net is embroidered with red
silk in three shades, and the pattern can
be Of your own choice. The upper edge
o. the lace is in olive.

THE CHASM BRIDGED,


There was q great crowd at the church

a German baron, passed from table to
table, chatting with the ladies and buy
ing their wares.

All, he knew to whom they belonged.
His heart ached for moment, and the
light went out of his face.
"a letter for Mr.. Cardonne!" cried the
postmistress from the little window OF
the pretended postoffice.
He walked tn Their, paid the postage
and received his letter. 1t contained
but one line:
"The chasm has been bridged!"
A tremulous hand and no name! What
did it mean? 1t came to him so sudden
ly that he felt that he was trembling.
The evening wore away; the crowd
dispersed; the ladies covered the tables
for the morrow; the janitor began to put
out the lights.
Gale Cardonne fingered. Janet came
to the door, drawing her shawl closely
around her, her face unusually red, con-
sidering it was usually so white.
Can 1 see you home, Janet?"
She answered him with nod and
smile.
The path led from the church across
the meadows, odorous with clover and

arm.

Closing In.

If the conference committees tariff bill
shall fail to meet entire approval, response
bility must rest with tho obstructive
minority, by whom tho subject was so be-
deviled as to be thrown into tho crowded and
hurried closing moments Of tho session.
The house has the decks cleared ready for
the bill when IL shall come in this morning,
but IL is not so certain that IL will meet cor
dial reception The Ohio men openly express
their displeasure, and good sprinkling of re-
publicans from Pennsylvania, Indiana, and
New York, are, apparently, as thoroughly dis
satisfied as tho Ohio men are, and IL
was whispered last night that the bill would
bo beaten. Tho friends Of this hasty result
of a conference committee claim that It is as
good as is possible. They say IL was no moro
a possibility to put up the rate on raw wool
and hoop iron than it was to tax quinine,
though in each case there was an admission
that it ought to be done. 1t may be true that
the conference could not raise the rates on
anything but steel rails, but evidently Sem
ator Sherman and Representative Mckinley
thought differently or they would have
signed the report. Certainly nobody can
blame the men who oppose the bill for their
opinions, and everybody will agree that the
reduction feature of tho bill is good thing,
IL it reduces to the extent Of $670O0,00O rs
is claimed for it. The amount of reduction
cannot be accurately estimated by any calcu-
lations known to the experts, which makes
this round figure of millions somewhat un-
satisfactory; but there is no doubt
that the bill gives considerable re-
duction, and will have many sup
porters for this reason. 1t must take its
chances to-day, and its chances at this last
moment, so to speak, seem to be as uncertain
as they were when the house laid aside
the ways and means bill.

An Actress Transformed into a MnrbI
Statue.


Clara Belle In The Cincinnati Enquirer.
1t may interest you to read about the Won
derful new costume which Mary Anderson
brought out few nights ago as "Galatea."
Talk Of high art in stage dressing, nothing
that way could exceed the garment in question.
1t was designed by Frank Millet, and we are,
/ suppose, TO expect something remarkable
when man artist turns costumer. Miss An
dersOn and Others who have appeared as the
statue turned to life have managed to at least
to be white like marble, but never before has
cloth been made to look so stony. Mr. Millet
gets all the praise, and that is not right, for
every woman knows that il was far easier to
design the costume which turns Mary
into statuary than to realize 1t in cloth. All
exquisite Greek tunic falls over her tall,
slender figure in perfection of graceful
drapery, and a kind of heaviness suggestive
of marble. This curious effect Is produced by
weighing the fabric with metal at various
points, by shirring and staying in just the
right spots, and by fastening certain portions
to her body with concealed bands. Not only
was she statue when posed asNmarble on
the pedestal but when moving about the
stage every attitude was perfectly statuesque.
Tho costume seemed incapable of being
thrown out of artistic and and beautiful lines
Her face, neck and arm were whitened her
wig was quite like cut stone, and her feet
were in stockings that fitted each seperate
toe, If she wore anything at all underneath
this drapery, 1t was not enough to conceal
any movement of her limbs.

Mr.. Page intimately for seventeen
years, and this is the first time
he ever heard the word gambler mentioned
in connection with him, and as to the other
epithet ho can say that he. never knew him
to have a personal difficulty with any one.
Mr.. Van Yoofhis escaped expulsion from the
house by full apology for his wanton attack,
and declared that he had no thought Of
making any personal application Of his Lam
guago. He was evidently the victim Of wild
and temporarily insane excitement. THE
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN is not addicted to
personal eulogy, but since Mr.. Page has been
so strangely assailed IL could not refrain from
bearing testimony to his high character as a
legislator and gentleman, which ten years Of
faithful, honorable, and able service in the
house pf representatives we'll attests.

Naming Streets.


Why IL was done we cannot say, but quite
a number of the streets of Austin have been
named after females. Such Manassas Emma,
Laura, Isabella, stare at you in large letters
fr ON almost every corner. The Austin people,
or some of them at least haye become toler-
ably familiar with Maria, Jane, Susan and the
rest, but strangers are liable to become be
wildered by this singular nomenclature.
A gentleman from Dallas, who had only a
few hours to spend in our city, wished to take
a look at the new capitol, and not knowing
where 1t was he mad inquiry of the first man
he met.
"Can you tell me how can find the new
temporary capitol2"
That's easy enough. Are, you familiar
with Emma street,"
q am not. 1 have no acquaintance with
any lady Of that name. There is a family by
that name in Dallas, but am not acquainted
with them. Docs Emma Street live near the

The Austin man stared at the stranger for
a moment, and then, pointing down Magnolia
avenue, said:
"You see whore Maria comes into the
avenue2"
The Dallas man looked in the direction
pointed out and perceiving fat old negro
woman with big basket on her arm nodded
his head in assent.
"Well you must take Maria until you get
to tho corner of Elizabeth, and until Peggy
and Sarah come together, and then you will
be all right"

MIR. Pnge, OF California.

Mr. Van Voorhis, Of New York, injured
no one but himself in his gross personal at
tacks upon Mr.. Page, of California, in the
house on Thursday and Friday evenings. On
the first occasion it pleased him to allude to
Mr.. Page as former stage driver. Had this
been true il would have reflected no discredit
on tho latter; but If he had consulted the
truth ho would have said that Mr.. Page was
tho owner of profitable stage line, and that
when he chose to do so he amused himself by
driving over the ten mile portion Of il, lead
ing from his home in Placerville to the rail-
way terminus. Mr.. Page was for many
years the leading republican of his county,
when he had no thought Of office for himself.
He was a good business man, and always
retained, because he never abused, the
confidence Of those with whom he had
dealings, He was chosen to congress in 1872
by the hearty voice Of the republicans of his
district, and has been continued thore ever
since, His defeat last fall was the result of a
political tidal wave which was no respector
of persons. Mr.. Van Voorhis's coarse declar-
alton that Mr., Pages clause TO appropriate
money to improve the Sacramento river in
California could only have originated with O
gambler and cutthroat was Of course utterly
without any point, and conveyed sugges-
tion for which there never existed the slightest
