LukeP. Poland is the only relic OF the
old statesmen OF the days oil Clay, Calhoun
and Webster. Hc still clings to the swal-
lowtail coat with the bright gold buttons
which were used by all OF the fashionable
men OF that time. It is cleaner and pref
| tier than the Prince Albert or the cut
away OF the present. In fact, the dress OF
men has been growing SIMPLER during
the past century. Washington who died
in 1880, wore ruilles on his sleeves, and
half Of the men who signed the
Declaration Of Independence wore
powdered wigs. Jefferson sported knee
breeches, and Madison was proud OF hav-
ing worn suit Of clothes Of Ameri-
can make at his Inauguration. Daniel
Webster usually wore suit OF snuf-brown
color, with large soft necktie. Martin
Van Buren, was very iastidious about his
CLOTHES and always appeared during the
summer in the whitest OF white duck
linen. His clothes were cut in the latest
styles, and he wore very high stock neck
tic, out OF which peeped his standing col
lar, making his head look like that Of
John the Baptist Oh d charger. Andrew
jackson also dressed well, though he did
not make his clothes a.great matter.
Henry Clay wore swallow.tail, and a
standing collar extrayagantly high. James
Buchanan was always very precise in his
clothes, always appearing in full dress.
He had great troubleas to how he should
appear when he was our Minister to Eng
land, and the discussion involved even
the Queen OF England herself.

the New Appeintee.
cAlasO later ocnap. Is $ef
General John Charles Black, the first
Democratic Commissioners OF Pensions,
was born in Lexington, Mlas., January p,
1889. Upon the death Of his father, his
mother removed in the fall Of 1s47 TO
Danyllle, H., where she has since resided.
Entirely without means young Black, re-
solved to obtain good education and for
years he worked, during his school vaca;;
lions, at teaming, until he had earned
enough to enable him to enter Wa
bash College, at Charlottesville,
Ind. Here also be labored out
Of study hours, and from the results Of
which be was enabled to maintain
himself at college. He was Just about
completing his junior year when tho news
came that Fort Sumpter had been fired
mon. and within IN hour he had enlisted
"a private soldier to the Montgomery
Ciuartls. which was afterwards attached TO
the Eleventh Indiana ZouaIes, under Col.
onel afterwards Major GeneraD Lew
Wallace. William P. Black, the Generals
only brother, and about four years younger,
also enlisted in the same company. Gen
eral Black was promoted to be Sergeant
Major OF his regiment, and when ms term
Of enlistment expired he came to ILLINOIS,
where he recruited q company Tor the
three years service. This company was
attached to the Thirty-seyenth Illinois
Regiment in Chicago in September 1851,
and young Black was made the muster
Major OF the regiment, his brother becom.
ing the captain Of the company he had
recruited.
General Black remained in the service
until the close OF the war, receiving Ire.
ouent promotions in his regiment, and
winning his star "ior gallant and merito:
rious service" He was beverley wounded
| in tie right forearm at Pea Ridge, Ark,
March 7, 1862, and in tho left -upper-arm
al the battle OF Prairie Grove, Arko De-
Gambler 7, 1862. II was only by the ex-
section Of the bone, whereby 1t was short
ened about q inches, that the leit arm
was saved, while the right arm has never
permanently healed, and In 1870 an e1-
section OF the elbow was performed IN
order to save his life.
In politics General Black has been since
[ the close OF the war q consistent Demo
crat. He Is universally recognized as a
man OF splendid character, stainless repu.
tation, untiring energy, and 6xedness Of
purpose, and Of generous disposition,
and his appointment to the responsible
position rendered him by the President
meets with general satisfaction. His re-
cord, alike in war and peace, can truth.
! fully be said to be without biemtsh. In
person he is handsome, military: looking
man, about 5 feet 0 inches IN height, with
massive head surmounting q shapely
form. Altogether the appointment 81
General Black is an excellent one, and ID
a worthy honor conferred upon a promi.
nent and honorable citizen and soldier Of
| Illinois.

AsThey See II.

The comments on the inaugural address
take wide range, as might have been ex-
nected. We don't all SEQ with the same
eyes,and most Of usdon'tw ant to. Thercare
some OF our Republican friends, for exam
ple, who refuse to see any good whatever
In the performance except its breyity.
These are they who don't mean to be
trapped into any liberation OF original sin
in however plausible guise it may as
sumo. These Republican newspapers at
once began to feel better when the cabinet
came along, for there was in that matter
ct for strong adverse criticism.
win 1t be thought that all tho Demo
cratic newspapers find the message quite
TO their several highly cultivated tastes
Nay, verify. Some of them take ohense
because the President pays some homage
to Civil Service reform, Of which ono OF
them remarks, '.if these means keeping
Republicans in oIllce it wasn't what the
Democratic hosts were battling for when
thew nominated and then elected Grover
Cleveland" Others don't like the Presi'
dents admission that the cclored man has
rights guaranteed by the Constitution
and It is suggested that 'tle President has
not seen the beauties Of negro rule in the
South"
it may be, as has been said, that tbs
SOD to the colored man was thrown In the
hope OF dividing the colored vote. But
surely the Presidents advisers ought to
have told him that there was no occasion
to 90 into that question. The colored vote
Of the South is already practically elimi'
mated, and that is better for the Dcmocra'
tic party than to bother itself about q
division.
There Is some disappointment among
the newspapers OF the party because the
President did not boldly unfnrl the ban
ner Of free trade; but they take comfort,
assuring their readers that the President
and majority at least Of his Cabinet are
sound on that grave question and in time
will show their colors. Such comment,
are very interesting.

There had been some previous talk
about intelligence and the queer people
one meets in travelling, and Lotta con
tinued:
"What little specks we are after ALI
We think we are great and we die and
some one Immediately springs up to fill
our place. No matter how gifted we are,
others will follow to gather the same lau.
rels. And yet how beautiful it is to cul-
tivate ourself, TO improve and TO grow
strong mentally; it is the only thing that
permits people to grow old gracefully and
acceptably. After all the only nobility is
thatof the intellect. The Prince Of Wales,
even, recognizes this when he Is in the
presence Of genius; no man bows sooner
to it than he"
Lately" continued the lady, 81 have
discovered that l have some talent for
painting. While in St. Louis I took some
lessons in water colors. do not dare to
paint with oils; it is SO unhealthy"

s.. John seleme. for 1883.

Brother Talmage, OF the Tabernacle,
comes forward with little scheme for
1888. He regards Prohibition as the issue,
and a big enough one to spread over the
whole country If it is worked in the right
way. His idea is 10 iorestall the work OF
the other National Conventions-get in a
Prohibition nominee before tho other
nominees come along, and knock them
out before they have had chance for one
round. Such man as Senator Colquitt, Of
Georgia, would come up to his notion, and
DR.. Talmage thinks ticket with that
kind Of head Oh ii would sweep the
country.
Another suggestion is that the Prohibi-
tionists shall throw themselves in force on
the Republican convention, demand the
adoption Of Prohibition plank and the
nomination of Prohibition champion.
/. This may be called "a real nice PLAN"
and the 1NrRLLloRNcFR assumes that there
will be no objection raised in the Repub-
ucan convention. IIuulpltIVhleLs VI tho
st. John order have announced their in
tention to kill the Republican party II
they cannot capture it, and there is no
question Of their earnestness. Nothing is
to be gained by prolonging the agony.
We like this plan better than DR.. Tai.
mages because it finishes up the Republic
can party at once, whereas his suggestion
would leave ms hanging on the ragged edge
Of hope for four years more. II the party
which has the most glorious history in the
annals OF political partics-which has
done more for mankind than any other
political agency-is to be disrupted by the
St. John sort Of politicians, the end may
as well come soon as late. It may be that
the st. John people will not carry their
vengeance to the point Of utter sanihila-
ton. In which case 1--WE may be happy
yet" ...

1t has not yet occurred to any statisti-
clan to gather the data and compute the
amount Of capital invested in pet dogs in
the United States. An approximate show
ing would be startling. Itwould be almost
as interesting to know what all these pets
are good for-sky terriers, English terriers
and other homely ratcatching beauties
which are not allowed to pollute their
ugly mouths with rats; poodles not al
lowed, as one might say, to poodle to any
useful extert; pugs and other petted vari-
cites too numerous to mention. So far no
one has been able to discover what the
pet dog is good for, unless it be totake the
time OF the tender hearted people who
have rescued him from the common herd.
But now there rises up soldier Of "the
regular army, OH" who has been expert
menting with the pct dog. Heentered St.
Louis drinking house, got into row with
theproprietor, and then and there showed
to what practical purpose the pet dog
can DO put. SEEKING the canine household
god by his ultimate extremity, the boy in
blie swung him around as though he had
been bludgeon and brought him
down full force, claws foremost, on
the face Of tile offending publican. The
blow was SO terrific that the mans lower
law was fractured. The soldiers victory
was complete.
It is evident that there Is no need to
offend against the low by carrying con-
cealed deadly weapons when man may
his awful vengeance take with a mere pet
dog. Any man otsSerage intelligence can
learn to WELD the pet dog with dexterity.
