Becoming Moro Attached to the Paper.

To THE EDITOR am becoming more and
more interested in THE TRIBUNE. as it con-
tains continuous tissue of historic statements
and corrections that will eventually prove of
value In the different statements of men as
to the same incident, the unreliability of indi-
vidual memory becomes manifest, and seems
remarkable but none more so than Steedman's
story of Chickamauga. They confirm the idea
that all should be put on record and the truth
at last sifted out of them. The papers of Gen.
Howard, SO far as / have read them, are espec-
tally valuable. His paper on Wauhatchie is
the clearest and fairest have ever seen.-J

A Popular FalIacy.

Many people think that Rheumatism cannot
be cured. 1t is caused by bad state OF the blood
which deposits poisonous matter in the joints
and muscles, causing lameness, stiffness and
swelling Of the joints and exeruciating pains.
Kidney-Wort will certainly effect cure. 1t
acts on the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels, stimu-
lating them to healthy action, puriiies and
enriches the blood and eliminates the poison
from the system. Go to the nearest druggist,
buy Kidney-Wort and be cured.

Apecdote Of Stephen Girard.

met an elderly gentleman the other
day whose memory is as keen and
bright rs il was forty years ago, and he
told me All interesting story OF one of
his friends. who was no less than
Stephen Girard, the founder of the
college in Phi adelphia which bears
most peculiar man. and in some respects
the most extraordinary parsonage 1
have ever met. You remember his
deep hatred toward the clergy. and how
he made 4 provision in his will that no
minister of the Gospel should ever enter
the college which he founded. Well,
have heard that it arose in this manner:
Years before his death Girard was &C.
customed TO give quite literally TO
multitude Of charitable objects, and
many were brought to his attention by
clergymen. One day he received call
from minister, who asked for con-
tribution. Girard listened patiently
and wrote out check, which he hand
eel to tho caller. The next day the
same clergyman came again, and said
that he wished to draw the philanthro-
pist's attention to the fact that he had
given one OF his associates much
larger sum for an object somewhat less
worthy. Girard said quietly: Have
yGu the check with you" The visitor
produced it. expecting that he would
receive handsome contribution, when
suddenly the millionaire tore the paper
in shreds, saying: You were not sat-
listed with what gave you in the first
place. You shall now have nothing.
There is the door, sir believe that
that was the beginning and the founda-
ton of the bitter hatred which Girard
ever afterward manifested toward the
clergy"

All Right.

An old gentleman entered a Michi-

day, walked forward and deposited a
before-the-war umbrellas upon the seat,
returned 10 the rear door, opened 4
bead purse, extracted two quarters
and handed them to the conductor,
with the remark:
'.Eef it please you. feefty cent tick

The conductor handed him an en-
vclops and the old gentleman returned
10 his seat. Drawing from his pocket
end adjusting to his nose pair of IRON
trimmed spectacles, he drew the ticket
from the envelope and pinched it to see
if il contained anything more. Then
he un:olded the ribbon Of tickets, read
the printing upon the first one, compar-
ed it with the second. turned them
over and scruHnized the other side, and
closely scanned each one in order, occa-
sionally comparing them with the first
When apparently satisfied that they
were all alike, he counted them by

All this had been highly entertaining
to a well-dressed young lady sitting
opposite, and at the moment when he
concluded his computation and raised
his eyes, she was smiling broadly.
Looking out over the top of his specta-
cles he regarded her intently for mo-
ment, and then, leaning forward. said:

Taking Care of Nics Dresses.

There is an old proverb that says a
lady is always to be known by her boots
and gloves. Quite as crucial u test is
the faculty Of taking good care or her
costumes, and one that quite as dis
tinctly marks the well-bred lady. Any
one can buy an elegant wardrobe II
they have money enough, but to take
the requisite care to keep it fresh and
dainty requires something more than
check-book. OF keeping nice dresses,
lady writes:
Each dress should have its own wrap
or cover TO keep il from chatting and
fading. Take fine, firm cotton cloth,
something over yard wide. cut it into
squares. then hem and wash the
squares. They should be fine. take no
room and weigh little; firm, to keep
away from dust; hemmed, that you
may keep the same side next the silk.
and washed. to do away with the
bleaching chemicals, which are liable
to change the color of the silk. Fold
the bottom of the train back and forth
in about eighteen or twenty three-inch
folds. SD as to fit the box you have for
il. The bottom now being all together,
yOu will cover it with small cloth or
towel. to keep the dusty train from
rubbing against the cleaner parts Of
the robe; roll the whole dress loosely
to the size and shape of the box. lay it
upon the white cloth. and fold the cor
ners of the same over the top OF the
package and place il in the box. Now
loosen the roll and adjust il To its space,
SO as to favor any delicate or easily
crushed portion of the dress AS Medi-
ci collars, flower garniture. embroidery.
ETC., relieving crowded places, and dis
tributing the thick to the thin spots.
When you come to use the robe shake
it out, and you will find it in good con-
ditiOn. The fold of a dress or shawl
will often work up between the trays
OF boxes, and by motion Of cars, wag-
ons, etc., get chafed into holes; to
avoid this pin the cloth over SO it can
not tut over the box. To pack laces,
fold them in blue tissue paper or soft
linen, because white paper contains
bleaching acids and discolors and de-
GAYS the ribbon or lace. The same is
true of white shoes and gloves, and es-
pecially silver ornaments. The latter,
though worn every evening, retain
their purity and brilliancy for months
| If kept closely in blue tissue paper.
Shoes and slippers should never be
folded together without a cloth or pa
pcr between them, as the sole Of one
soils the upper OF the other. Put one
in the cloth, turn it over, then add the
other.

A Benevolent Bird.

There is one very odd case OF benev-
olence of one animal towards another
which shows that help is often needed
where least suspected.
Who would suppose that the ele-
plant, with his great size and massive
strength, could Be in need of such aid
as so Insignificant a creature rs q bird
could give it?
Against such large animals as lions.
tigers, and rhinoceroses il can defend
itself, but against tiny insects, which it
might crush under its feet by the hun
dred, it has no protection except what
is given by little fea,hered friend.
With such q thick skin as it has, one
might well suppose that the elephant
would have no trouble from insects; but
in truth, it is the very thickness of its
hide which makes the small insect
dangerous.
Ticks, which are abundant in all for
ests, work their way into the cracks in
the skin of the huge creature, and as
the skin is so thick they are enabled to
bury themselves so completely that
they cannot be scraped Off when the
smarting animal Tubs against rocks or
trees. A differently constructed ami
NAL could use its teeth or feet TO re-
move the annoyance; but for the ele-
hhant there is nothing but suffering and
torture, unless some kind friend lends
a helping hand--or bill.
Aud this kind friend is not lacking;
for no sooner are the little pests COM
fortably ensconced than pair of small,
bright. yellow eyes searches them out.
and the next moment u pretty, orange
colored beak plucks them forth. The
owner of the eyes and beak is q beauti-
full snow-white heron; small of body
but largo of heart; for it seems, in
Northern Africa at least, to have de-
voted its life to the benevolent work OF
watching over its monstrous prOtege.
1t is novel and beautiful sight to see
the dark skinned giant OF the jungle
stalking pondcrously along with as
many as q score of these beautiful birds
perched upon his back and head,
busily working to free him from his lit
tie tofmeniors. And full we'll the ele-
plant knows what he owes his bene-
factors. Not for anything would he
harm them. ugly-tempered as he often
is. Even when the sharp beak probes
deep in the sensitive flesh, the great
creature bears the pain patiently, SEEM
ing to know that it is necessity.-S.
Nicholas.

Mr.. BLAINE is a man whose force

Mr.. BLAINE is man whose force of
character compels partisanship those
who admire him, worship him; those
who hate him, fear him. This is newt
able. The man whom his party deems
hero will inspire just as strong feelings
amongst his enemies in the other direc-
ton. The one phase of character which
awakens no very powerful emotions one
way or the other is the one which is Of
all others most fatal in leader, and
most absent from the character of James
G. Blaine. 1t is called vacillation. No
wonder that his opponents are afraid of
him. No wonder that weakened re-
publicans shrink from the path that
he treads so boldly. He is the ablest
statesman in America, and the bravest.
He never held principle that he was
afraid of /; and he never shrank from
Its logical consequences. OF course he
has been maligned as few men have.
He possesses a power that makes him
dangerous to his enemies. His greatness
has invited attacks, and he has been
the shining mark that scandal loves.
1lalicious SANDER has been poured ont
up,n him in torrents, but TO no purpose.
His asbsgrity has made him proof against
