"LITTLE MRS. HAYNES"
l. u .
Mrs. Brown.
BY MARGARET VERNE.

BY MARGARET VERNE.
1t was an eventful era in my young
life when my father announced his IN
tention of renting the light, airy,
southern chamber of our old brown
house to a young portrait-palnter
who was about becoming a resident In
our village during few weeks of the
summer. Never before had an event
so stirring and exciting in it's tendency
broken over the monotony of my ex-
istence. Never before had my childish
imagination been furnished with SO
wide field of action Or my little
heart throbbed and palpitated with
such strange mixture of wonder and
delight. A portrait painter under our
own brown roof, within the walls of
my own home-what a rare chance for
my inquisitive eyes to draw in a new
fund of knowledge! What an object
of envy I should be to my little mates,
and how daintily would mete out to
them what I learned from day to day
of the wondrous man of the wondrous
employment.
I had heard of portrait-painters be-
fore, it is true, but only as 1 had
heard and read of fairies in my little
story-books, Or listened to my father
as he talked of kings and courtiers in
the great world afar off. Upon our
parlor walls from my earlirst remem-
brance had hung portraits of my
grandfathers and grandmothers, but
I had no idea how their faces came
stamped upon the dark canvas, Or
when or by whom their shadows had
been fixed within the heavy gilt frames.
Like the trees that waved by the
door, and the lilacs that blossomeI
every year by the old gate, they had
to me always been So
But now my eyes We're to rest upon
the tace of one whose existence had
been like myth, a fable! What a
wonderful parsonage he would be!
What dark vlsage he would boast,
and what monstrous, giant-like
form! How entirely unlike every per-
son that I had ever seen or known
would be this portrait painter.
While these speculations were at
their height in my busy brain, the hero
made his appearance, scattering them
mercilessly to the four winds. There
was nothing giantlike in the 1.-THE, grace
full figure that sprang from the village
coach, or dark in the pleasant, boyish
lace, shaded by soft masses OF brown
hair, and lit up by a merry pair of
blue eyes, running over with mirth
and mischief. His name, too, quite
like the generality of names, had
nothing wonderful of striking by
which to characterize it. He
was simply Frank Haynes, nothing
more or less, and when, with a pleas
ant, easy grace, he sought to win my
childish favor / should have been
quite at home had not the stunning
knowledge of his art overpowered me.
1t was a strange freak for a child of
ten summers, but somehow it crept
into my baby brain that must not

The replies received by the New York
World to circular letter of inquiry sent to
a number Of presidents of cham bers Of com
merce in various parts of the country in
regard to the causes, extent, remedy and
probable termination Of the present de-
preston Of trade, exhibit little agreement
of view except as to the probability of .
revival Of business in the near future.
Most of the replies assume that bottom
prices have been reached, and some of
them promise general improvement in
the summer of 1885" The cause of the
present bad times is ascribed by such Of
the Worlds correspondents as are not af-
flicted with the crookedness of vision that
comes Of a belief in hi Oh tariff taxes to TIE
overtrading of 1880, which led to the
building of too many mills, furnaces and
factories: then re action from this over
trading, attended by liquidation and slack
ened demand for goods next the collapse
of the railroad and other stocks that were
manufactured in such large quantities in
1881. The distrust created by other cir
cumstances were materially increased by
bank failures, that seemed to teach the
moral that unreliable men were ut the
head Of many of our largest financial insti-
tutions. Il is noticeable that in account
ing for the absence Of a demand for our
manufactures the want of a vigorous for
eign commerce is almost overlooked In the
replies the World publishes 1t is little
curious that there is but one letter from
the more Southern States, and that one is
very positive that there is at present no
trade depression at all in the South, except
perhaps to some small extent in cotton
goods-Sun.

The Easton talbot county, Star denies
the story, which has been going the
rounds of some of the party press of Mary
land, that ex-Gov. Thomas is the regular
salaried counsel of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal The Star says: 1.-The story
is false, Gov. Thomas, with other genie
men ofthe bar, was some time ago employ
ed as counsel to defend the canal in an
important suit, for which service he was
paid by the canal company. Recently the
company was sued again, and desiring the
services of the counsel engaged in the pre-
yious suit to defend it, Gov. Thomas was
retained with his other colleagues, except
Mr.. Wallis, who had been engaged on the
other side. The Governor is no more a
salaried officer of the canal company than
he is salaried officer in any other suit he
might bring or defend for an Individual

Rev. DR.. Chapelle, pastor of ST Mat
thew's Church, Washington, stated to his
congregation recently that there is reason
to believe that if $4,000 is raised in that
city the great Catholic University, project
ed by the late Plenary Council in Bal l.
more, and for which Miss Caldwell gave
100000 will be established in Washing
ton. 1t is suggested that the college at
Georgetown, conducted by the Jesuits
very successfully for many years, which is
superb building, well adapted to the
purposes of the new University, might be
purchased, and with some changes, of
which the grounds will admit, it would be
the most favorable place that can be selec-
ted for the location of a great Catholic
University. 1t is urged in favor Of the
selection that it would be an advantage
to the students to be near the national
capital, with the enjoyment Of the free use
of the congressional library, the govern
ment's scientific collections and other adj
van ages. The University was placed by
the Plenary Council in the hands of COM
mittee of bishops and Catholic laymen,
and being intended to elevate the educa-
ton of the Catholic clergy generally to he
highest plane of scholarship, it will be
conducted in manner to meet the wants
of the church in that respect, and will a.
vail itself of all the erudition and talent
which the institution can draw upon any
where with the large means it will proba-
bly, have at its command. The professor
ships will not be entirely confined to
eburchmen.

Consequently the changes in the heads of

heard from, and the applications will
cover the range from the $4,000 AIRY paid
in Baltimore to the little 800 and $500
offices in country places. The Postmaster
General in the rev cabinet will very early
find that he is an important gen leman to
the many aspiring Marylanders. The
names of gentlemen of prominence have
been mentioned Tor the other important
places, but these matters will all go over

The first annual report of Mr. j. Frank
Turner, comptroller of the State treasury.
presents, says the Baltimore Sun, graft
flying exhibit of the State finances Dur
ing the past fiscal year the State debt has
been r. duced by 1903, $50 A, and the sum
of 1886 900 in Baltimore and Ohio Il Ill
of the sinking fun,ls for the redemption OF
the Deaf and Dunno and the Mary and
Hospital loans, and $4,000 has been in
vested and placed to the credit of the sink :
ing fund. The comptroller just y claims
credit for the department in having en-
forced the payment of moneys belonging
to the State, So that the amount ia arrears
in the hands Of officials at the close OF the
fiscal year was incsnsiderable. and in hay
ing instituted suits for tie collection OF
,verdue taxes in the hands of former CO.
lcctors and receivers OF public moneys
whereby the receipts were raised above
the average in a season of business depres
sion and stagnation. The State met all
the current expenses of government very
promptly, and at the end of the hscal year
the treasury contained a balance for the
use of the Safe amounting to 1897 0SS 80.
With this balance and he sinking fund
applicable to the purpose the treasury OF
icers propose to pay otf the Maryland Hos
pita and Deaf and Dumb Asylum loans,
amounting to S430,00o, making a reduc
ion in the debt of the State since the 30th
Of September, 1883. of 1913, SSs A. After
accomplishing this reduction there will
vet remain a sufficient balance with which
to make good he specia' sinking funds for
the fiscal year just closed, and also 70 re
pair and make whole all the special sink
ing funds tor the several existing loans
from The da'e of their issue down to the
present time. This, as the comptroller
Justly remarks, is an excellent showing.
and encourages the belief which he ex-
presses, that with economy and judicious
management every direct loan tax imposed
upon property by the State can be extin
guished within a comparatively brief
period.

Regarding tie 100000 which the man
agement of the New Orleans Exposition
admits it is behind, members of the com
mittee state that an appeal to Congress is
the only hope they have. Congress, they
say, should be invoked for an additional
loan of 100000 which would simplify mat
tiers, and leave no room to doubt the sue
cess of the exposition. The revenues of
the exposition, they say, are but a
question of time, and if they could only be
tided over for short while, the exposition
would have no difficulty in meeting all its
obligations
