A Very Singular President.

A leading democrat and banker OF
Michigan, who furnished great deal
of money for the canvass, has given
his views concerning the president.
He finds him very singular sort OF
person. He was very friendly with the
State of Michigan, but he would make
no appointments Michigan, through
her delegation, asked for. He express
ed himself as exceedingly anxious to
do something for Michigan, and finally
told the delegation and the leading
citizens who constituted themselves a
committee that he had determined TO
give them something they hadn't asked
for at all and they must find man.
The banker says it was his way OF
smashing all their states. He was not
satisfied with their programme and he
took that way Of having programme
OF his own carried out. He concludes
that he is the most singular politician
that anybody ever SOW; that he can
neither be swayed, driven or led. The
Michigan bankers experience has been
that OF other bosses, machines and
slatemakers. 1t is well for the country
and for his party that he is such man.

CHAPTER II.

/ must relate my sisters story, not
as / remember it, but as il happened.
Some of the details are impressed upon
my mind never to be forgotten, others
have no home in my memory. Lord
Norven was at home, and issued invi-
tations for a grand ball to be given at
the Castle in honor OF Lady Morven' 5
birthday. Kate Of course was to 60.
NY father promised to escort her, and
Allan obtained permission from his
imperiouS lady-love to accompany
them. My father was very anxious
with regard to Kate's appearance.
She came in to kiss me before starting
and thought she looked like dream
of lovelineSs. cannot describe her
dress; to me it appeared like soft
fleecy cloud. [ saw diamonds shining
in the dark hair and on the white
neck; I knew then that my father had
given her the costly jewels that once
belonged to his first wife. A scarlet
opera-clOak covered her white should
ers. When she took me in her arms
to kiss me, l wondered whether the
fragrance that seemed to float around
her came from the bouquet she car
ried or the beautiful hair that waved
from her forehead.
/ know now that she was introduced
that evening to Sir Victor Erlesmere,
and that he fell in love with her.
The next morning child as I was, |
noticed something new in my sisters
face-a softer light in her brilliant
eyes, sweeter smile on her proud
lips. After breakfast she came with
me into the garden. She sat in the
shade Of large Towering lilac tree !;
/ played near her. She was interested
as usual in my amusements; an open
book lay on her knee; aut her eyes,
with tender musing gaze, were bent
upon the clear lake, while a happy
smile fingered on her lips.
We had been there some time, | saw
Allan Charlton coming to join us. AS
| sprung into his arms to kiss him, l
saw that his dear face was clouded and
pale.
Good Miss Hamber," he
said. with a stiff bow to Kate. "You do
not look fatigued after your exertions
last evening"
There is nothing fatiguing," she
answered with a smile, Sin being very
happy and dancing to such exquisite
music as we had last night"
81 noticed that you danced several
times with our new neighbor, Sir Vic
tor Erlesmere," said poor Allan, try
ing to speak indsfierently. "Do you
like him ?"
| believe the sharp plunge of dag
ger would have panied him less than
the sight OF the beautiful glow that
overspread her face.
"Yes," she replied softly, Il like him
he is very different from any one /
| know"
Just then my father joined u.s.
"Are you discussing the ball ?" he
| asked.
aWe are speaking of Sir Victor
Erlesmere," answered Allan.
"Ah," said my father slowly, II dc
not quite like him! If he were not an

THE TARIFF AND THE GARNET.
Position of the Administration Very Clear,
but Individual Members Differ Some.

Position of the Administration Very Clear,
but Individual Members Differ Some.
Washington special to the Philadel-
phia Times: The first authoritative
announcement in the Times of the
position of the Secretary of the Treas
ury on the tariff has aroused consider
| able comment and speculation among
the Democratic party leaders on both
sides of that question. Mr.. Randall
said to a friend that it conceded en-
tirely with his views on the subject,
and that a bill prepared on that basis
would be sure to receive concurrent
action. Senators Beck and Blackburn,
however, take exception to the inter
pretauon given the tariff paragraph in
the platform by Secretary Manning,
and claim that the protection idea is
simply incidental Senator Beck says
that this view is sustained by the gen
eral results of the late elections. From
this standpoint the Senator says that
while the Democratic majority in the
Forty-ninth Congress is reduced to
about forty, the proportion of support
ers of the doctrine OF tariff for revenue
only is greater than in the late Con-
gress. This wing also claim that Sec
retaries Bayard and Lamar and Atty
Gen. Gurland are fully committed to
tay.N for revenue only, AMI recall the
speech made 10y senator Bararl in
My York ,luring the time uf the is
cIiS~lon ot the tarItfact 9f March 3 1873,
IN support of such a declaration. They
also claim PostmaSter-Genrral Villas us
holding the Western view Of the tariff,
thus giving them four members OF the
Cabinet in support OF what they term
the Democratic doctrine.
A distinguished member OF the Cabi-
net III answer 10 question on this
very point, replied: 81 have no right
to speak for my colleagues, but | am
cOutident that when the tariff question
is taken up for formal consideration,
as Il measure OF the Administration ur
for the determination of IL policy on
that important economic question, the
Cabinet will be in accord. | have no
doubt when the President was making
up his mind as to the persREei OF his
Cabinet he had all these questions in
view, and it is not unlikely that he
ascertaned the views OF the other
gentlemen now cOnpo-ing his official
household before finally determening
as to their selection. Ii would he inn
possible TO say now what action will
be taken, but whatever it may turn
out to be the Cabinet will be in accord"
The politicians generally conclude
from the drift of things that the state
ment OF Secretary Manning TO the
correspondent of the Times, taken in
connection with the hard lot of Ken
tuckians in their battling for Office,
means Il conservative course and reli-
ance upon Mr.. Randall as the cham
pion of the Administration in the
House

Habitual constipation is not only
one of the most unpleasant, but at the
same time one OF the most injurious
conditions of the human system, and
is but forerunner OF disease, unless
removed. This is usually accomplished
by the use OF purgatiyes, which for the
time afforded relief, but after their
immediate effects have p',ssed they
leave the system in worse state than
before. To effect cure it is necessary
that the remedy used should be one
that not only by its cathartic effect re-
lieves the Bowels, but at the same time
acts as tonic, so as to restore the or
gans 10 a sound, healthy condition.

THE Oklahoma region, about which
there is so much excitement now, is
a tract of land extending faom Red
River in Indian Territory to the Kan
sas line, containing about fourteen
million acres. The tract is some
three hundred miles in length from
north to south, and two hundred
miles in breadth. II WAS purchased
by the government in 1866 Of the
Creek, Cherokee, Choctaw. Chickasa'g,
and Seminole Indians, with the view
to settling freedmen and friendly hl-
dians thereon. A good deal Of the
land is of excellent quality, well-waler-
ed, and tempting to land-grabbers. It
is said that none of the money has
been paid, while the lands obtained OF
Cherokees were by the terms Of the
sale to remain in possession ol the
tribe until occupied and paid for.

The summer Session.

The General Assembly of Georgia will
meet in adjourned session in a few weeks,
and no doubt the members are already
beginning to prepare themselves for the
work they will be called upon to do. There
are hundreds of bills left over by both
houses from the regular session, very few
of which have been acted on by the COM
mittees to which they were referred. and
it is likely that several hundred new bills
will yet be introduced. Many important
bills will demand consideration, and the
great number Of minor measures will
necessarily consume a great deal of valu-
able time. The adjourned session will
doubtless be long and tedious one, as
such sessions usually are.
Atlanta has been recommended by it's
citizens as a splendid place in which to
spend the summer. Much has been said
about its alleged delightful climate and
splendid water and its various points of
interest. Few members of the General
Assembly, however, are unsophisticated
enough to expect to get much pleasure
out Of a summer session. Atlanta is a very
good summer resort for a few weeks dur
ing the spring and autumn, but for actual
summer-well, those who have spent
summer in that city almost invariably
wish that they may be able to spend the
next one somewhere else. 1t has often
been remarked by Southern Georgia peo-
pie that Atlanta is the hottest place ia
the state in July. II has long been as
serted by legislatOrs.tha the hall of the
House of Representatives is the hottest
room in Atlanta, and all the old Speakers
from Gov. Smith down, agree that the
Speakers stand is the hottest place in the
hall.
The call on the legislators this summer
for hard work Will be imperativ e, and
there will certainly be little occasion for
frolicking. They will doubtless be tired
out long before their work is completed,
and they will be very apt to follow the
examples set by preceding General AS
semblIes, and adjourn, leaving several
hundred bills carefully pigeon-holed in
the various committees.
1t is not probable that the members of
the General Assembly will prolong the
session from pecunlary considerations.
There is little temptation in foupAlollars
a day, as few members will be able to pay
their way without drawing ON their pri-
vate means.
