PRETTY COVERS FOR DAINTY FEET.
The Science Of Making Shoes for Ladies aud
the Suayity of the Maker.
Nelc YORK. Journal.


do you know" said celebrated Sixth
avenue dealer in ladies' SHOES. " that there Is
not one woman in a hundred has a pretty
foot? About two in fifty have well shaped
feet. About ninety in hundred have some
disigurement-either buniOns, corns, in
growing nails, or some other abnUrmal defect
which will make us alter the proper
shape OF shoe before it is made or put it
out of shape after the making. A shoe, If
well made and TO order, should never get
out of shape, no matter how much wear it is
subjected to. But when we are told TO avoid
q corn here and respect a bunion there, we
must do 1t, and turn out an article that does
us little credit.
"Yes, the French heel Is injurious to the
foot. But 1t need only be slightly so II
properly made. The trouble is that most
shoemakers initiate the French fashion with
out knowing the principle. The pressure
upward on the heel should be just as great
as If it were under the heel. But the Amer
lean makers usually put that pressure to
bear against the middle ofthe foot, which Is
absolutely ruinous. The troubles which
come from pinchng are the result of not
knowing how to walk. Some women never
can learn this.
"Very few ladies' shoes are now imported
from Paris. They can be made here quite

shoes for $25. But the fancy work does this.
No lady would wear such shoe.
"You would laugh to hear the excuses
women make for the imperfections Of their
feet. measured a nice lady the other day
who had buuion of several years. standing.
'Oh,' she exclaimed, as was about to be-
gin, L am afraid you will have to make my
shoe little larger there. l hit my foot

morning that something bit her while bath

"a ladies' shoe department has been start
ed in most of the big dry goods stores of
late. They affect the small dealers along
the avenue, but the big ones can stand it.
As rule these dry goods stores sell cheap
article to attract custom. They probably
give the worth of the money, but first.class
leather and first-class make cost just so
much, and you can't go below the market or
you wilfso find yourself In bad way"

MR.. WEBSTER,S MONEY DEALING.
4 shrcwd Transaction between the Famous
Secretary of SGnte and MIR. Choate.
Boston BUDGET.


Daniel Webster's fnanciering Is the SUBJ
ject of many anecdotes at Washington, and
one of them thus describes how he one day
assisted his friend Rufus Choate. Choate
needed $500 and be applied to Mr.. Webster.
"Five hundred dollars" said Webster; "no,
haven't that amount, but will get 1t for
you, Choate." The latter was glad to hear
II and would wait. "Draw your note, !" said
Webster, and I'll sign 1t and bring you the
money. While you are about 1t make the
note for thousand; thousand is as easy to
get as five hundred" Mr.. Choate said that
five hundred was all he needed. "T'll take
the other five hundred" said Webster. The
note was drawn and Webster taking his cane
went into the avenue. "Good morning, Mr..
Corcoran, good morning." said he, as he en-
tered the great banking house which was the
fiscal agent Of the government. "Good
morning, Mr.. Secretary" said the great
banker in the blandest manner. "What Is
IL / can do for you this morning, Mr.. Secre-
tary?" Mr.. Webster was Secretary of State
at the time. "a little favor for my friend
Choate. He wants little money and told
him | thought could get it for him. A
thousand, believe, he made his note for"
passing the paper to the banker.
There was no such thing as hesitating,
much less declining, and so the banker was
only happy to accommodate the head of Mr..
Fillmore's administration. The gold was
laid out in two equal piles at Mr.. Webster's
request. Putting one in each pocket, and
with one of the bows which Mr.. Webster
only could give, he departed. "Here,
Choate, here is the five hundred" said the
great expounder, entering where Choate was
waiting. Handing him the gold, Mr..
Webster resumed his reading where he had
been interrupted by Choate's entrance. This
story has mysterious confirmation In the
recent statement that Mr.. Corcoran still has
in bis collection Of autographs a note for
81, 900 signed by Rufus Choate and indorsed
by Daniel Webster.

POETRY.
THE NEW.OLD STORY.
CHARLES q. AMEs.

Across the valley, from hill to hill,
A bird is flying TO meet his mate;
Across the summers, from will 10 will,
Young Love is shooting the threads of fate.
The miller's girl and the farmers boy
In the village church give glances shy;
And each TO each IL growing joy,
As the ruddy years sweep waltzing by.
To the home-tree brings each happy bird
A lock of hair or bit of clay,
So build the lovers by look and word,
A cosy nest for coming day.
In branching willows beside the rill,
The young birds mimic the old birds notes;
And children are shouting above the mill,
AS they run to launch their tiny boats.
oh, ever the stream runs sweet and clear,
Outponred anew from the springs above;
And ever the " orld keeps young and fair,
Since love is its life and its life is love.

Money without Intellect.
Boston Courier.

The moral power money wlelds, apart from
character, liberality, intelligence, and the
other qualities essential to truer manhood, Is
of but relative value, and is Insignificant ex-
cept when true worth and high traits of char.
acter accompany Ii. We have instances of
this fact in our own time, which show that
almost unconsciously the popular opinion
measures a man by some higher and more
durable standard than the money he may
possess or may have accumulated. This Is
the case where the reputation of those who
are held In high esteem is also based upon
wealth. The manner In which IL Is gained,
the use 20 which |. is put, stamp themselves
upon the public judgment and make an i'm
preston which cannot we'll be obliterated.
Take, for instance, such men as Gould and
Vanderbilt In comparison with George Pea
body or Peter Cooper. Great wealth and the
use to which they put 1t has given them their
fame. Intellectually no one of them would
have ever been known outside Of his own
immediate circle of acquaintance. The first

wealth and the power they can exert In the
business operations Of the world. The well
fare Of great enterprises hang upon their nod
of approval or dissent. They can make or
ruin the fortunes Of thousands Of fellow
men by the caprices Of speculation. But
how much moral power do they control In
comparison with the lhst mentioned? Their
acts and opinions are Of no moral force in
the community. Their wealth contributes
nothing to the fund Of true greatness which
carries Its influence far beyond the confines
Of ones life or country. Not so with
wealth used as In the case of the other ex-
amples quoted. The true fame thus attained
Is more lasting and more envlable, though Il
may not attract the momentary attention and
be the subject Of so much evanescent vain
glory. To the ambitious who seek wealth
and fame and toll to have their names live
after them, the lessons Of the true power Of
wealth shoald not 60 nnhesded.

THE HILL CASE.
Outline of the Report To BE Presented by
the Investigating Committee.

Washington Special
The report of the Treasury committee,
which has been investigating the office OF the
supervising architect, is in preparation, and
will be completed to be handed to Secretary
Folger on Monday next, when the latter will
resume the duties of his office. The main
points of the report have already been de-
termined upon. The evidence is being an
alyzed and colated. Fifth Auditor Alexan-
der has been assigned to examine the testi-
mony, The report will be a disappointment
to both the friends and opponents of Mr.
Hill, the supervising architect The report
among other things will find the following
facts:
First-The office of the supervising archi-
tect is a branch of the public service which
has grown up without being created by any
specific statute. The only authority under
which the supervising architect acts is that
which is contained in the various appropri-
alton bills. Originating in this way, the
Office is not controlled by statute, and the
supervising architect has been mainly law
unto himself Yet while Congress has neg
lected either to create the Office or to regu-
late it by law, when it had been created, al
most by inference, that body has imposed
upon it continually increasing responsibili-
ties, so that now there is no bureau in any
department which dsburses so large an
amount of money. Yet the supervising
architect is not even bonded officer. The
expenditures are made in a less regular man
ner than those in most other branches of the
public service. AS a consequence of this ill
defined jurisdiction and lack of response
bility, methods OF administration have been
adopted which in themselves are liable to
create abuses and which are condemned.
There has been too little care exer-
cised in the supervision of work. The COM
mittee will recommend that the system shall
be changed, and that legislation shall be pro-
vlded which will furnish a better system of
accountability and more adequate safe
guards to the expenditure of money.
Second-The committee do not find that
the charges of personal corruption on the
part of Mr.. Hill, which have been made by
Mr. Murch, are sustained by the evidence.
There is no passage in the voluminous testi-
mony to indicate, even by implication, that
Mr.. Hill has had any pecunary interest in
any contract, directly or indirectly, or that
he has in any way profted by reason of hold
ing the office. This branch of the report
will deal very severely ith Mr.. Murch, and
it will show that he himself has furnished
very little to sustain the charges which he
so loudly made The report will find that

BLAoKBURN's CANDIDACY.
He Prefers to Stand for Senator Rather
than Dubious Race for the Speakership.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. pa special to
the Courier-Journal, from Frankfort, says:
Hon. J. c. S. Blackburn was in the city to-
day and made known his intentions concern
ing the speakership, to Col. ]. Stoddard
Johnston, editor of the Frankfort Yeoman.
He said: Certainly, 1 have no reservation
when 1 speak to the people through the
Yeoman, which l am always glad to make
my medium of communication. 1 can say
that am not a candidate for speaker. For
some weeks have made my determination
known to my friends, and you are author
lied to make the announcement
public. My desire for the sue
cess of the Democratic party in
Congress- and for the organization of that
body upon a basis which will inure to the
best interest of the country, is superior to
any mere feeling of personal ambition.
Ardent friends and fellow members have
urged me to prosecute a canvass for the posi-
ton, and have assured me of substantial
strength in the caucus, but | am satisfied
that in order to defeat the Vaccinations of
= the protectionists and secure the election of
a Speaker who will reflect the true Demo-
cratic theory of a tariff for revenue only, it
will be necessary to concentrate rather than,
by having too many candidates representing
similar views, to promote the chances of the
common foe By my withdrawal Kentucky
will be united in the fight, and l shall
lend all my energies to the success
of that candidate who. representing the true
principles of tariff reform, shall show the
best prospect of defeating Mr.. Randall.
These may be said to be the considerations
of public nature which have led me to this
conclusion. There are, however, personal
reasons which supplement them, and have
also a controlling influence. Since the ad-
journment of Congress 1 have been urged by
many personal friends to permit the use of
my name as a candidate for tine United
States Senate. After mature consideration,
] have consented to become a candidate, and
you are authorized to announce me. 1 do
not feel that l can, with propriety, stand for
both places, and therefore, decline the race
for the speakership to devote my energies to
that of senator

FIRE UNDERWRITERS.
Mceting of the Annual Convention of North
western Men.

CHICAGO Aug. 29.-The fourteenth annual
convention of fire Underwriters of the North
west, began to-day. and was attended by fully
200 representatives of companies doing bust
ness in the Northwest, and in Ohio, Indiana,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Iowa, Wisconsin and
Kansas. In his annual address President f.
NJ. Decamp, of Cincinnati, referred to the
beneficial results of the organization of the
State Board of Underwriters. He said legs-
lation in favor of properly-built structures
and competently-conducted fire departments
were the hope of the insurance companies.
Mr. g. A. Holloway, of Chicago, read a pa
per on risks, in which he deprecates the
present tendency to broaden insurance con-
tracts without adequate compensation, and
also the immoderate allowance made in
rates where novel appliances which are
untried are kept in readiness for extinguish-
ing fires.
G. F. Mullins advocated in his paper a
compact system as opposed to the local board
system of making rates. He did not deem
local agents competent or free enough from
prejudice to do good work for the compa-
nies. The compact system contemplated the
appointment of competent men to make
rates of insurance for the several district is in
which the companies do business, these men
to receive their remuneration prorato to the
business done by them.

Meeting at Gen. Mahone's Rooms of a Num-
Der of Prominent Southern Leaders.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Several members
of the anti-bourbon movement in the South
have been in Washington yesterday and to-
day, and tonight met at Gen, Mahone's
room, where they remained in consultation
until a late hour. Their presence here, and
the fact of their having met at Gen. Mahone's
room, has given rise to many surmises as to
what was the object of their coming to-
gether. They themselves say their meeting
was entirely informal, and not premeditated
conference; that Gen. Malone being here
they visited him, and finding themselves
together the conversation naturally turned
on Southern politics in general, and the
prospects of a successful independent revolt
against Bourbon rule in particular. Among
those present at the meeting were General
Longstreet General Chalmers, Judge Je ffards
and George @. Gorham. General Malone is
said to have spoken with confidence of the
result of the independent movement in VIr-
ginia. 1t is is understood that it was gener-
ally agreed that this movement should be
extended throughout the South and that
there was an expression by those present of
an earnest purpose to do what can be done
to that end

The office OF the supervising architect is
not the only bureau which has crown up
without any authority of law. 1t was only
recently, for instance, that Secretary Folger
learned this. He asked for the law that Gre
ated the secret service and was surprised to
find that there is none. The only authority
for the service are the few lines in the APP

vision for the support of the service. The

Mr.. New, the chairman, when asked what
effect the paper of Mr.. Coleman would be
likely to have on the committee, jokngly re-
pied that the question reminded him of a
case he had once heard tried in an Indiana
court The lawyers on both sides had argued
with great spirit and vigor nearly all day,
until everybody was worn out. When they
finally rested their case, the judge sravely
drew out OF his breast-pocket an opinion he
mad already written, and proceeded to read
1t, to the amusement of the spectators and
the disgust of the opposing counsel.
