THE OBSTRUCTION POLICY.

The Administration Disinclfned to Shape
Its Policy to Suit Republican Senators.
The truth of the announcement that
the Administration does not intend to
shape its policy in subservience to the
Republican majority in the Senate is Sc
strangely probable that it need not be
questioned The course of the Senate
is scarcely less doubtful Its policy is
sure to be one of obstruction if its
wishes are disregarded, and there is ne
Disgusting the fact that, setting itself
up as an oligarchy, the Republican Sen.
atorlal majority can temporarily sue
ceed in policy of obstruction. So far
as the patronage question is concerned,
Republicans in nor Democrats out
OF office against the wishes of the Presi-
dent. They may and can keep out any
particular Democrat in any given case;
they can create disturbance, can re-
fuse to pass Appropriation bills and
other Administration measures; and, 10
sum it all up, can make themselves so
odious as to greatly exaggerate the
feeling that the Senate is a purely
oligarchic body which ought not to be
allowed to exist under its present con-
dltions. But while they can do all this,
they can do no great amount of harm,
except to themselves. On the other
hand. any policy these Republican
Senators might dictate could, ii
adopted, only become successful
through the disorganization and dis
ruption of the Democratic party.-Sk

Scott, Taylor and Bragg.

General Scott and General Taylor
are thus contrasted:
General Taylor never wore a uni
form, but dressed himself entirely for
comfort. He moved about the field n
which he was operating to see through
his own eyes the situation. Often he
would be without staff officers, and
when he was accompanied by them
there was no prescribed order in which
they followed. He was very much
given to sit his horse sideways-with
both feet on one particularly on
the battlefield. General Scott was the
reverse in all these particulars. He al
ways wore all the uniform prescribed,
or allowed by law; when he inspected
his lines word would be sent to all
division and brigade commanders in
advance, notifying them of the hour
when the commando ng General might
be expected. THIS was done so that
all the army might be under arms to
salute their chief as he passed. On
these occasions he wore his dress uni
form, cooked hat, aguillettes, saber
and spurs. His staff proper, be-
sides all officers constructively on
his staff-engineers. inspectors, quar-
termasters, etc.-followed. also in uni
form and in prescribed order. Orders
were prepared with great care, and
evidently with view that they should
be history of what followed. "

And soft shiny tresses of hair;
Her lips are like rosebuds by angels thrown
down
From the gardens that bloom in the air.
Her teeth are like pearls that are found in the
Where the shells and the green MOSES grow;
Her breath is as sweet as the breeze on the
lea
The lilies in kissing her dear little cheek
Left it smooth, and SO soft and SO fair,
Where the two roguish dimphes oft play hide
with the sunlight that lives in her hair.
And she romps all the day. does this dear little
And she fits here and yon like bird;
She says pretty things, and she sings happy
songs
AS sweedy as ear ever heard.
Her clear ringing laughter resounds through
the hall,
And she comes up the stair with bound:
Her dear little heart throbs with love for us
all,
And She scatters the sunshine around.
At night when she sleeps the bright angels
And they smooth out her brown silken
hair,
And they watch by her side till the soft rosy
Lifts It's banner of light in the air.
o suel Little Sue! may your pathway be
Strewn with roses and voIets blue;
May your dear little heart always throb with
delight,
May it ever be loving and true.

rorpoIses. =

The capture OF a school of porpo;ses
furnishes very exciting sport. A seine
nearly mile long is paid out from the
steamer to inclose the fish and cue
them off from the open sea. At the
wings and bag of the net small surf
boats are stationed, whose crews try to
frighten the porpoises when they at
tempt combined charge upon the net.
As the huge creatures, often weighing
one thousand pounds each, can easily
break seine. if they set out for it, the
only safeguard is to distract them and
divert their attention. Slowly and
steadily the seine is drawn toward the
beach. and when near enough, asmaller
seine is brought into play inside the
larger one. With this few porpoises
at a time are cut off from the main
school and hauled by main force on the
shore, where they are dispatched with
lances or knives. 1t is no boys play
hauling this small seine through the
surf.-LeDistos (Me.) Journal.

PANSY'S INVITATION.
"Aunt Marjorie's Precepts"-Three Rui'
for Having q Good Time.

"Aunt Marjorie's Precepts"-Three Rules
for Having Good Time.
Pansy was asked to a party the other
day, and was quite undecided whether
to accept the invitation or to- stay at
home. happened to know that the
lady who was to give the party was a
very kind and lovable woman, and
charming hostess. Young people always
enioyed themselves in her house; be-
sides, she had been a schoolmate of
Pansy's mother, anI it was hardly
courteous for Pansy to slight her invita-
ton unless she had very good reason.
You see, children, your Aunt Mar
jorie is rather old-fashioned, and she
thinks that when people are good
enough to want you, you should, as
rule, crafty them if you can.
1 tried to ascertain the reason for
Pansy's hesitation. She frankly told
me that, in the first place, she was
afraid her dress was too plsin; in the
second place, she was very shy and
timid in company, and always felt as
though everybody were gazing at her;
and in the third place, most OF the
guests would be strangers to her, and
She did not like meeting strangers.
Three reasons: No. l, dress too plain;
No. 2, shy in company; No. 3, dislike
to strangers.
Pansy is not the only girl whose good
times are spoiled by just such absurd
reasons as the three above.
Now let me give her and all of you
my three rules:
No /. Never mind your dress. A
simple, quiet dress is in the best taste
for young girl. The granddaughters
of Queen Victoria are always very mod
estly and plainly dressed, and it is quite
evident that they bestow very little
thought upon their gowns and hats,
which are what their beautiful, sensible
mother thinks fit for them. A pair of
bright eyes. hair in nice order, and rosy
cheeks, will set off the simplest attire.
No. 2. Never mind your shyness. AS
soon as you have paid your respects to
your hostess, look around for some
body shyer than yourself, somebody.
who is not being pleasantly entertained,l
and take upon you the duty of making
the next half-hour pass delightfully."- for
that person. You will forget all about;
your own shyness.
No. 5. Don't feel like stranger, and
do not suffer other people to seem to-
you like strangers. Wherever you go
you will find wonderfully attractive per-
sons; and if you fare in the world as
Aunt Marjorie does, you will always be
finding new acquaintances who will be
worth great deal to you. Look upon
every stranger as a possible ne,o friend.

a fascinating smile.

How He Was Cured of the Bad Habit of
Crying.

How He Was Cured of the Bad Habit of
Crying.
When Ned could not have what he
wanted he would cry and scream. He
was nearly seven years old, quite old
enough to know better. One summer
evening his father took him to drive.
He was very good until, on the way
home, he wanted to drive. His father
was afraid to let him do SO, because the
horse was not very steady.
'.Do let me-" teased Ned.
''Not tonight" said his father.
Ned began to whimper, then cry, then
roar. His father tried to stop HIM, but
he only roared the louder. They drove
some distance, Ned screaming all the
way. His father said nothing, but sud-
denly he stopped the horse, lifted Ned
out, put him on the side of the road,
jumped back into the carriage, and
drove away.
Neds surprise was so great that he
stopped crying Did his father really
mean TO leave him thereP He would
surely come back; but he did not Poor
Ned wished he had not cried. He wanted
to go home, but did not know the wav.
1t began to grow dark. Up in the sky
he saw a little star shining. He felt
lonely and frightened. He did not want
to stay all night at the roadside. At
last he heard the noise of wheels. Per-
haps his father was coming back. No,
it was another man, in a wagon. He
stopped when he saw Ned, jumped out,
and came to him.
What are you doing therep" he
asked.
Nothing" said Ned
.''Why don't you go home?' added
the man.
At this Ned burst into tears, and told
him all about il. He was a nice man.
for he said: ''Get into my wagon, and
will give you a lift"
Ned climbed in and took seat beside
the man. 1t was little strange that
he should drive Ned to his home with
out asking where he lived. 1t was
strange, too, that when the wagon
stopped, Ned's father should open the
door, as if he expected him, and saw:
''Thank you, Mr. Smith" But it was
not strange that Ned learned a lesson.

Mr.. CLEVELAND'S INTENTION,
His Object Is to Render Efficient the Civi
Service of the Government.

His Object Is to Render Efficient the Civil
Service of the Government.
Although it is but little more than
three months since Mr.. Cleveland was
inducted into the Presidential Office. it
is already apparent that one of the chief
objects of his administration will be to
bring the civil service of the Govern
nssnt up to its highest possible stage of
efficiency, no matter how much time
and deliberation the carrying out of
this programme may require nor how
much impatient and unfriendly criticism
it may provoke.
No more important subject could
engage his attention from now on
to the assembling of Congress, nor is
any other so essential in its prelimi-
nary relations to the great work of ad-
ininistrative reform, while all candid
observers of the situation must admit
that the President, in spite of a few
Questionable appointments which he
was deceived into making, has shown
an admirable aptitude for the respon-
sibility which he has assumed and
made a most auspicious beginning.
But the duty thus set before him is
one that no man, whatever his physical
strength or mental vitality, should be
asked or expected to perform single
handed and alone. To thoroughly ac-
complish the grand results proposed
the reorganization of service made up
of more than a hundred thousand dis
tinct official factors-will involve an
amount of laborious investigation and
exhaustive detail simply overwhelming
to the contemplation; and the Presi-
dent, resolute and ambitious as he is to
succeed, will need all the cooperation
that can be made available to the con-
summation of his purpose.

A Branch of Agriculture That VIII Not
Bear Neglect.
The vegetable garden is very impor
tant to every farmers family, and its
neglect should not be indulged in.
Far better would it be to neglect some
unimportant crop or labor in other di-
rect ons, than to neglect the important
auxiliary-a good vegetable garden. II
properly planted and attended to, 1t
will do much toward the support OF the
family from early in the season until
late in the fall. The true vegetable
garden should contain as large varie-
ty as is possible. Patches OF ground
planted to few hills of corn, po-
tatoes. beans and perhaps hill or two
of cucumbers or squashes. are
not entitled to the h gh designa-
ton of vegetable gardens.
There should be the greatest
possible variety. commencing with the
early asparagus. and closing with a
full line cut short only by frosts. The
planting should notonly be timely but
should be made with view to a sue
cesspn. Beets, for instance, that are
planted for early roots as well as for
greens. are of little value for later use;
SO a different variety should be planted
for late and winter use. So, too, of
cucumbers; those planted for early use
will not furnish the requirement. for
late picking. Especially in the line
of sweet corn; this should be planted
at different times, so as to be continued
until the approach of frost. 1t is bet
ter to have the error. if any, in the
direction of late planting than to be
deprived of this important article of
food sooner than necessary. The at
tention of garden in its care and
planting requires the exercise of a
great amount of Judgment III.
