had the pleasure the other day of TAX
ing a midday luncheon with Gen. John G.
Fremont and Mrs. Fremont at their pleas
ant home at New Brighton, S. L., says
correspondent of the Boston Globe.
Twenty-eight years ago 1 made their ac-
quaintance during that memorable cam
paign when the young ''Pathfinder" was
surrounded by the enthusiastic youth of
America, and this ! had renewed more
recently since their settlement in New
York. The residence of the Fremonts is
a modest white house, perched high on
the inside of the broad road that winds
through trees along the New Brighton
beach, and its front windows command a
wide reach of the New York Bay and the
estuary of the Kill Won Kull. There are
two sons and daughter in the house of
Fremont. The eldest son, John Charles,
or "Jack," as he is Familiarity called
at home, lives with his handsome
wife and two sturdy boys up the Hud-
son. He is in the navy and his duties are
connected with the arrival and departure
of ships in this harbOr. His younger
brother, Frank, is a Lieutenant in the
army, stationed up in Montana Territory,

ter Of John d. Townsend, the lawyer.
Both of the boys closely resemble their

and call on Gen. Sibley in Minnesota, who
had never seen him. He did it; called in
citizens dress, and said: Gen. Sihley,
who am ~ you're a Fremont said the
General; there's no mistaking you. How
is your father"v The sons are both tall,
black-haired, black-eyed and "bearded
like q pard,' and they both, like their
sisters, show strains of their Gallo blood
the influence of their grandfather, the
poor, scholarly French gentleman who
came to Virginia at the beginning of the
century and found their Grandmother in
her teens.
Mrs. Fremont, that ''Jessie Benton'' the
mention of whose name in the notable
campaign of SO always evoked a cheer,
holds her own remarkably well. 1t doesn't
seem possible that she could have made
her famous runaway match nearly forty
three years ago. She was a handsome
blonde when she ran away from the head
quarters of sold Bullion" in Washington,
and joined the fortunes of the young ex-
plorer; now her hair is as white as snow,
but she shows few indications of aging,
and talks as brilliantly as ever.

The New York Sun has some interest
Ing IDEAS about what issues the DemOc-
racy ought to make in the coming cam
paign. The first is the election frauds Of
1876. Second, the proposition to give
Grant, when he was President, the power
to suspend the writ of habeas corpus.
Third. the usurpatiOn of Gen. Sheridan at
New Orleans, and, fourth, the tariff policy
in the Polk campaign in 1914. If the Sun
would tack on an eloquent denunciation
of the stamp act and the British tax on
tea it would undoubtedly secure the sup
port Of all the surviving veterans Of the
Revolutionary war.

There is considerable comment on the
fact that the Civil Service Commission has
not yet presented its report to Congress.
The opinion is pretty extensively enter
tanned that its work has not been emf
nently successful, but there is a pretty
general disposition evineed to give it a
fair trial. Doubts are entertained in
some quarters that Congress will make
an appropriation for the continuance of
the work of the Commission, but they are
most likely unfounded.
Pennsylvania has a vague fear that she
will be disfranchised in the next House
Of Representatives if her Congressman
are elected under the old apportionment.
From the failure of the late extra session
OF the Legislature to pass an apportiOn-
ment bill. and the imprObability of another
extra session accomplishing that result,
it seems as if the skirts of Gov. Pattison
and the Democrats are clear. If the Re-
publicans carry the State this fall they
will gerrymander the districts to suit
their interests. Hence they are deter
mined to defeat constitutional appOr-
tiOnment.

The Virginia papers continue to give
kind notices of ''The Rescue" by Miss
Janey Barron Hope, of Norfolk. This
novel is No. IS of the "MoRNING News
Library" series.
From tile Richmond state.
''THE RESCUE. THE scene Of the story is
Lower Virginia, in the neighb0rhOOd of York
town, and its time in the early part of the last
century, when the colony in the Old DOmin-
ion was making one OF the most attractive
chapters in the history of this country. The
characters are well conceived and truthfully
carried out, and the fashion of speech of the
period Is faithfully givenj The interest OF the
reader never flags and the feelings Of antici
patton and suspense are skillfully played
upon. whilst several passa ges-such as the
description of the storm and the rescue-show
remarkable power. But it is impossible to
conceive more touching scene than the
death of poor Phillis. 1t is worthy OF Dick
ems or Harte at their best. The gifted young
daughter of Virginia who has given us ''Ihe
Rescue" will learn that her readers, whose
attention has been so closely engaged by this
her first work, will ask more at her hands,
and that they will watch her progress IN let
tiers with unfailing interest.
From the Lynch6wrg Ne1oS.
''THE REsCUE."-This is the title of a
charming little story published by J. II.
Estill, savannah, Ga. The author, we learn,
is the daughter of James Barron Hope, of
Norfolk. We have lately had occasion to no.
tco q similar WOrk from Jne graceful pen OF q
fair citizen of Lynchburg, ana we welcome
and recommend this product from the pen of
another Virginia lady, In style, sentiment,
plot and construction, this unpretending vol
ume is delightful. There is no straining of
the dramatic effect. The writer is wholly in
the background, the characters are truly and
naturally drawn, the dialogue sprightly and
appropriate to the speakers. The picture of
colonial life in the early part OF the last cen
turv on the historic Peninsula and around
Little York" then a seaport, second it is
said only to Philadelphia in the amount Of its
business in the North American colonies, is
graphic and faithful. The denouement of the
Story turns upon the actions, capture and
death of the pirate, John Teach, who was
slain in a fight in PamlicO Bay by a force sent
by Gov SpotswoOd to break him up. Benja-
min Franklin, who was then an apprentice in
printing Office in Boston, composed ballad
on the death Of Teach.
This well written and agreeable story gives
high promise of what, with that practice"
which ''makes perfect" in authorship as well
as in other work, the gifted writer may be ex-
pected to do in future.
