MIR. Blaine'e Portrait.
BOSTON Advertiser.

BOSTON uNeItlsST.
A word about Mr.. Archer's portrait of Blaine.
The story which has been current in the press
regarding Mr.. Blaine's dissatisfaction with the
work appears to have no foundation whatever.
Mr.. Archer says that as soon as the portrait was
finished Mr.. Blaine wrote two letters and handed
them to him. One was to Mr.. l'relinghuysen
and the other to the official who has charge of
the payments for such things as portraits for
the State Department. Armed with these letters
Mr.. Archer took the painting with him in what
he calls a wan" and proceeded directly to the
State Department, where he presented his let
tiers, was politely received, left the portrait at
its destination, got his money and went away.
The price he received was precisely $500 lit has
been gravely stated all over the country that he
got $40, 000), which he says is just one-third of
his usual price for a portrait; but he thought it
worth while to paint so famous q man as Mr..
Blaine, even ut that low figure. He relates an
amusing anecdote about this portrait. When it
was done Miss Abigail Dodge came in to look at
il. She examined it well and then remarked:
81 think you have given US the true Mr.. Blaine,
but not all of Mr.. Blaine" To which Mr. Archer
made the eanny reply: Perhaps you ask too
much Of art, madame"

How that Celebrated Document was Revised
by Manning and Beecher.

How that Celebrated Document was Revised
by Manning and Beecher.
Washington Special in Cleveland Leader.
l learned to day how the Beecher letter came
to be written. According to an arrange
ment, by which Cleveland bound himself not to
write any letters unless by Manning's direction,
he advised with him before he wrote the Beecher
letter. He was greatly alarmed by the scandal
about Maria Halpin, and the letter was written
to offset this. Manning told Cleveland to write
it, but that he, Manning, must supervise it be-
fore it went out. Shortly after Cleveland had
finished it and was looking it over with Man
ming, Beecher called, and the three looked over it
together, each cutting out what he thought best.
It then went to Lamont, and he struck his pen
through several words. Cleveland had directed
it to Mrs. Beecher and Beecher took it home and
read it to his wife. He then, according to an
agreement with Manning, sent it back to
Cleveland. It came and was laid on the
desk, where his clerk seeing it, supposed it was
to be mailed. He did it up and remaiied it to
Beecher. Beecher, supposing as it was returned
to him it was for publication, read it aloud in his
meeting. 1t was read as corrected, and, the
grammar having been altered in the various cor
~rections, it came out in its crude, ungrammatical
shape. When Manning saw it he was very an
cry, and in the future he kept a closer eye on
every scrap of writing which went out under
Cleveland's signature. He has probably revised
again and again Clevelands inaugural address,
aud the various utterances which Cleveland has
made ali show the imprint of his fine ltalian
hand. The inaugural address was short and
pithy, and full of short, catching expressions.
Manning now comes to Washington to do the
same work lie has been doing during the CAM
paign, and here as there he will be backed by
Samuel j. Tilden.

The Presidential Ladies Excited.

Cleveland, her black eyes swapping with excite
ment and her bonnet strings coming loose,
looked down on her brothers head, while her
clergyman brother, with his white neckcloth
hidden under bis flowing beard, covered his fore
his right and eft as he went down the aisle, rec
o~gnizing Bayard's handsome gray hair and
smooth-shaven face and Garlands rough counte-
nance and grey homspun blouse. He seemed
entirely unaffected and certainly never entered
nervousness or lack of confidence in himself.
Vice president Hendricks entered from the
rear door, with his face singularly clouded and
his teeth tightly closed, as though he was angry.
He had Mrs. Eendricks's to take care OF, and the
good lady, in vulgar p~arlance, had been raising
o row ever since she had entered the building.

Pretenders Are Not Specimens.

DR.. Talmage, in sunday Magazine.
A man said to me in the cars: what is re-
Hgion! Judging from the character of many
proft ssors of religion / do not admire religion
l said: Now, suppose we went to an artist in
the city of Rome, and while in his gallery asked
him, What is the art of painting? would he
take us out in a low alley and show US a mere
daub of a pretender at painting, or would he
take us down into the corridors, and show us the
Rubens and the Raphaels and the Michael Ange-
los? When we asked him, What is the art of
painting9' he would point to the works of these
great masters, and say. That is painting Now,
you propose to find the mere caricature of re.
ligion, to seek after that which is the mere pre-,
tention of a holy life, and you call that religion.
i point you to the splendid men and women
whom this gospel has blessed, and lifted, and
crowned. Look at the masterpieces of Divine
grace, if you want to know what religion is"

What If the way seems long and weary,
Thy tired feet are forced to treadi
Some day thou shalt look back with wonder,
And say, My steps were gently led,
The way was short
What If the rough stones wound thee sorely,
And to thy pathway terror lend!
Turf soft and green thou wilt find only
When thou hast reached thy journeys end,
Where thou shalt rest.
What If thou seest more of shadow
About thy path than sunshine's Light
The days that are not gray and cloudy
End sometimes with a radiance bright
At sunset time.
What if the work be very heavy
Thou doest now with many fears?
When all thy work slips from thy fingers,
Thiue Own shall say viii falling tears.
They were brave hands.
What if the things thou most desirest.
Are given to those who prize them not?
Perhaps some day thou shalt see clearly
That they would not have blessed thy lot;
~a-n He knowest best.
What If thou fam wouldst shift the burden.
In sorrow thou hast borne so long7
Before thee lies the crystal pavement;
There shalt thou cast il with a song;
Thou canst but wait.
What If the blessing Of Gods favor
&Seems held from thee, thy work to crowns?
Some day thou shalt see that His mercy
Did forever and aye shine down
On thy faint heart.

feel the more keenly thatit is an artificial naked
ness to which we thus bring ourselves, and one
which will involve, sooner or later, moral shiv-
ering and shame. The sense of liberty ia us is
a sense of liberty to serve, not to rule. Make it
absolute liberty, and it at once shrinks into the
shadow of the universal whole. If we do not
recognize the limited and subordinate character
of our freedom, We shall be forced to deny our
freedom altogether. Ignore the personality of
God, and the next thing that disappears is the
personality of man. The spiritual denudation is
thus complete, and man comes ultimately to be-
lieve himself a mere cog-wheel in the universal
machine-and yet that is a belief in which he
can never, for any long time, faithfully remain.

Lord Wolseley,s "Mr.o Grant.

There has been an attempt made to discredit
the authority of the letter in which General
Wolseley set General" Lee off against Mr."
Grant, but it is a failure. Americans who were
in England about the time it was published re.
member that British army officers expressed
themselves quietly to the effect that it was about
what they would expect from the man, whne
acteristic of the man who wore it. Even then
the feeling that he was IN .oycrrated man who
had been a favorite of fortune-up to date-was
the common one.

The Style in Ginghams.

PNIiHupIpIIH IIUe5.
Two models divide favor for the ginghams,
which are among the first spring sewing done by
forehanded women, and neither of them is new.
The one is the Jersey basque, the round skirt,
or gathered at the foot, and a long overskirt
made in a separate piece, draped AS a long,
round apron, much Topped on the sides, and
arranged as one loose puff, and a round
end at the back. Sometimes this overskirt is
arranged as along apron, caught up in many
pleats over the tournure with a full sash in
loose loops, and ends set where the ends of the
apron meet in the back.
The other model is the well-known grand
mother dress, now called the housemaid, with
round full skirt and full round bodice gathered
to a belt. The mother Hubhard has retired
from public life, and is worn only as a wrapper.
When the wearer is slender it may be belted
with good effect, and thus made to do duty also
as a housemaid costume.
