called the Tower bridge is to be built across the
Thames lower down the stream. This will
change the view both around and upon the
bridge and destroy some cherished traditions.
But in this practical age traditions stand little
chance against convenience. The new highway
across the river will cost $4,000, 900. and will
no doubt be worthy addition to the finest

Dipna. has returned to McNeill's zereba.
The commander states that it is evident
from his observations that Osman is
PLAYING deep game. He has circulated
reports of his withdrawal with q view OF
throwing the English off their guard. lie
states that he made thorough recon
noissance. Attimes he narrowly escaped
falling into the hands Of the rebels, SO
close did they get TO the city. At first
sight the place appeared to be deserted,
but closer inspection brought to view
hordes of Arabs encamped back OF tne
place and on the adjoining hills, Inc
officer stated that signs were not lacking
to Justify the belief that Osman INTENDS
to make determined stand, and desPer-
ate fighting is to be expected before ne
is driven from that stronghold. General

an advance at daybreak tomorrow. Inc
advance will be commenced from the

Cameron and Blaine.

augusta (Me.) Letter in Boston Evening
Record.]
Visitors to Augusta always, as matter
of course, go up the hill to take a look at
the State house; but they are more likely
to be interested in a substantial though
modest dwelling that stands almost within
the shadow of the capitol. This is Mr..
Blaine's home. Here he is at present at
work upon his book, I'm excellent health
and spirits" Here he has lived for many
years, doubtless thought good
DEAL and executed somewhat. Here
he has received visits from many
of the great men of the land. A
gentleman, a native of Maine, but now
Pennsylvania politician, tells ii story of
one of these visits that perhaps had some
influence in shaping history. He says he
once asked Senator Don Cameron why it
was that in the Chicago Convention in
1850 the Grant men did not throw their
strength for some acceptable man when
they found there was no hope for their
favorite. Said the Senator, well, FL
tell you why. - He said that in the early
summer of 1850 he and Mrs Cameron
made trip To the White Mountains
Returning to the hotel from walk one
day, the Senator was shown by
his wife telegram from Mrs. Blaine in
viting them to visit Augusta. "Ah, un-
der the circumstances, | think that will
have to be postponed" was his laughing
remark. But have replied that we will
come" said Mrs Cameron, innocently, to
the Senator's CONSERVATION. There was no
help for it but Cameron made vow to
himself that not word concerning politics
should escape his lips during the visit. The
visit was Wpleasant one, of course, but dur
ing it Mr.. Cameron was taken to drive
by his host. The subject of the approach
ing convention was preached, and Mr.,
Blaine asked Cameron who was his sec
ond choice. The Senator replied that he
had none-that he should stand by Grant
to the end. Then Blaine got in his work,
and finally succeeded in obtaining the
promise that, if by any chance Grant
should be dropped, the Cameron intiu-
ence should be for Blaine, Ntar the close
of the convention the Grant leaders
got together to consult in regard to sup
porting another man. Then, to the amaze
ment of the others, Cameron was obliged
to announce that in case OF a break he
must go for Blaine, "Then let's stick by
Grant to the last" said Conkling. with
all my heart" responded Cameron and
they did, And that" said the Senator,
as he finished the story, sis all Il woman
knows about politics"

Women's Clubs. =
ISpringheld Republican,

New England society is too apt to crys-
talize church wise and blood wise Not
that people really like a caste of creed or
of descent, but they readily fall into an in
voluntary habit of Judging people from
those points of view, and something is
often needed which brings together wor-
thy people without regard to such distinc-
tions. This is what the women's club
does, and is the felt want not met by the
sewing society. The wQmen's club also
offers Il ready outing for the mind of the
housekeeper upon wider questions. The
woman of the future is not limited in the
subjects for her thought or her study
Girls are now given education so that they
may be educated thinking women, and
influential members of society. Society
in this sense in 1850 meant men by 1900
it Will mean men and women. And why
not There is scarcely question of vital
moment to society, either in politics or
morals, in which women are not a. pro-
foundry interested as men, Women are
bound on those questions To express their
minds with increasing clearnesS, force and
conviction, and we believe human society
will be the gamer by such Il develop
ment.
There may be some objection to the
term club, but there cannot be to the
thlnS, ii Is not pace OF naOllual resort
or "A dangerous rival to the home but sim.
ply convenient organization for pro-
noting general acquaintance and discuss
ing topics of common interest, Womens
clubs, as distinct from mems, can have
more convenient times of meeting and
diccuss chosen topics with more freedom,
Nothing is mote striking in these socie-
ties thgn the readiness with which those
who at first are sure they have nothing to
contribute soon become valuable partlc-
pants Every wise mother and expert
enced head of Il house has no mean cul
ture to draw upon in matters of educa-
ton, discipline, and the cultivation of all
good things Every considerable town
without Il women's club needs one.
