Beware of the. Vidders."

Mr.. bud. Mobley of Coffee county,
Ga, wishes he had needed the elder
Weller's advice to "beware of the yid-
ders." Mrs. Judy McCook, a sprightly
widow, cast a web of fascination over
Mr.. bud and made him believe that she
loved him and wouldmarry him. Ditto
Mr.. Bird Mobley. Arrangements for
an early wedding We're made by both
parties, and Mr.. Bird Mobley, to keep
things quiet, asked his betrothcd to
meet him at a certain point on the
Ocmulgee River and they would get
married. Meantime the other sutton
had his suspicious aroused, and at once
went to the house where the lady re-
sided and besought her to come out and
wed him. The lady shut herself up
and refused the invitation. The disap-
pointed wooer sat by the door, waiting
for day and his doom, but, to his sor-
row, when day came the house was
searched, Mrs. McCook was wanting,
and later information leaked out that
she had escaped through a window,
went to the river, and married Bird
Mobley according to promise.

Low-necked Dresses.
Washington Letter.

NboLiubtOu kttc
A great fuss is being kicked up be-
cause some of the ladies at the White
House reception wore extremely low
necked dresses. That they do appear
in costume very much abbreviated from
the neck down, there is no sort of dis
pute. That the wearers of these low
necked costumes are well -favored and
pleasing to look upon, I have heard no
one-at least no gentleman-complain.
1t is my belief that the uproar has been
created by some of the lean and hungry
ladies who could not safely presume to
appear in similar rig, and that they have
communicated their opposition to decol
lete costumes to sympathizing lady cor.
respondents. That would be enough.
1t ought to be said that the wearers OF
the lowest dresses and the possessors OF
the busts that are really worth exposing
to q curious public, are the ladies of the
foreign legations. 1t is sometimes en-
barrassing to be obliged to stand by one
of these charming creatures, as she sits
On one of the sofas in the corridor, with
a superb costume that is nothing but a
pair Of straps from the arm pits up-but
then one is obliged to accustom himself
to many strange things in this cosmo-
politan city.

Disease and Happiness.

In the case of Carlyle, who creaked
md groaned under dyspepsia for over
.ighty-four years, so uncommon a case?
Doubtless, no n would think of speak
Of him as an illustration of health; but
was there not in him more of the essen ce
of bodily health than in Keats, who pro-
badly enjoyed far more in his short life
than ever Carlyle did in his long one,
but who died at twenty-five, or than.
Kirke White, who died at twenty-one?
Perhaps Sir Andrew Clark would say
that health is one thing, and strength
another; and that while Joy in living is
the definite criterion of health, it is not
at all a criterion of tenaeity or strength.
But is JOY in living the criterion even
Of health in all kinds of organizations
alike? Is it not true that one disease.
and that sometimes q mortal disease,
leaves the overspill of Joy almost unat-
fected, while another, without the
smallest d%eadliness, will extinguish
while it lasts every possibility of Joy ?
Every n knows how mush of radiance
of life consumption often admits and
how much of gloomis due to every slight
affection Of the liver. Surely the greater
number Of medical men would hardly
subscribe to Sir Andrew Clark's doc.
trine, that in all kinds of constitutions
Joy in living is the criterion of health.
Excess of vital energy which does not
consume itself in any form of action fire.
quently bubbles over in mere delight;

Industrial Training,

The Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology has now 443 students in the
school of Industrial science, and ia in
the school of mechanical arts and the
Lowell school of practical design. OF
the value of the Institutes training,
President Walker says: Here is a case
in point: The President of one of the
great lines of transportation in this
country-a man with q genius for or
g%anization and execution-said to me,
but a short time ago, that he could take
a young man of good sense, good judg-
ment, and good habits, a graduate from
our course in civil or mechanical engi-
neering, and, by passing him through
the successive grades of responsibility
in railroad management, could IN five
years. time make him a better general
superintendent than could be made of
o man lacking the preparation in twenty
years. The day of h~alf-trained men is
past in this country in all occupations
or is rapidly going past.n

Garrett md Lincoln.
I'm ochiltree in New York Tribune

Tom Ochiltree in New York Tribune.
The last time I met Mr.. Garrett war
in the private loge Of Minister Morton
OF the Grand Opera in Paris. He was
accompanied by Mrs. and Miss Garrett,
and was in an excellent reminiscent
humor. / remember he told me lie was
present when Andrew johnson pro
posed the peremptory arrest Of Gener-
ais Robert q. Lee, j. e. Johnston and
other confederate leaders. He spoke
of the way in which Gen. Grant refused
to be O party to. such q proceeding: He
said it was the only time he had ever
seen Grants equanimity disturbed, that
his ayes literally blazed with fire, and
that he informed Mr.. johnson that any
attempt to interfere with the status Of
these southern generals as arranged by
him would cause his instant resignation
as general-in-chief of the army. MI.
Carrot said that Gen. Grant paid q
high compliment to the ability, honor
and bravery of Generals Lee and John
ston, and their armies, and said thathe
would not be made a party to humiliate
them or break faith withthem. He ac-
companied Mr.. Lincoln to the battle Of
Antietam on the day after the battle.
He said that Mr.. Lincoln visited the
wounded OF both armies in the impro-
vised hospitals, and he would never for
get a scene that occurred between him
and a young soldier from North Carroll
ma whose wound was pronounced NOR
tai by the physician accompanying the
party. Mr.. Lincoln put his arm under
the neck of the poor boy and talked
with him of his mother AMI sisters 81
home until, said Mr.. Garrett, the tears
wclled up from his great heart and fell
upon the wondering. upturned. face Of
the dying confederate.

The Real Ruler of Canada.

The central figure in the Canadian
parliament is also the greatest figure in
Canada. He is Sir John A. Macdonald,
the real ruler Of Canada, with but a
short interruption, for twenty five years,
and the greatest mar British North
America has produced. Other politici-
ans are there, a dozen Of them, who
have been knighted by the queen, but
while he s,like them, Knight Command
er of the Provincial Order of st.
Michael and St. George, he is more
than that. He is Knight Commander of
the Bath, and, more than that, he is a
member OF the Imperial Privy Council,
which is a distinction enjoyed by no
other man in Canada. The others are
honorable; he alone is right honorable,
like William q. Gladstone. Sir John
is 70 years old, and has been a legislator
for forty wears.

Webster in Private Life.

The Hon. Alexander Stephens once
Baid of Daniel Webster: II think Web
ster was the worst slandered man I ev-
er knew It is the general impression
in the country to-day that Webster was
. great drundard. You hear it spoken
If wen now whenever his nam is mem
tioned, but it is an outrageous SANDER.
| will tell you what / know myself.
For six years while we were both il
Congress / lived next door to him.
His house was as familiar to me as my
WI garden. I was in there q great
deal and he was often in mine, and il
Ill the time of my acquaintance with
him I never saw Webster when he was
the least affected by liquor or under the
influence oft in any way. Ihaye dined
with him at his house and mine, I have
met him at dinners and affairs outside
and L never saw him in the least inebri-
ated. never heard of his being intoxi-
Gated but twice, and on n of those oc-
casions-a dinner-he made q speech
that was grandly eloquent. Then, too,
there had been much said about his IN
CONTINGENCY. / think it is even q worse
SANDER than the other. When we we're
neighbors he was married to his second
wife "a fine woman) and, with the ex-
ception of Toombs and Calhoun, I new
er saw q man 30 devoted to his wife as
Webster was. They we're always to-
gether. If he went ont to walk in the
evening as was his custom, Mrs. Web
ster always accompanied him. ] used
to meet them often. Henever was away
from home over night that his wife did
not go, too. He went frequently to
New York and Baltimore, but he al
ways took Mrs. Webster with him. At
the receptions in the city they always
were together and whenever you saw
Webster you saw Mrs. Webster on his
arm. 1t was different then from now.
1t was not then considered wrong for a
man and his wife to keep together At
such entertainments. Now il a man
speaks to his wife at any reception or
affair of the kind he is thought to be
unfit for good society. He must beau
around some other and leave
his wife to be looked after by some 9TH
err man. Webster loved his wife and
was kind and faithful to her, and she
was one of the most elegant refined Ia

Sham Duties to Society"

1t is a wise and suggestive saying that
the Wilkie Collins puts in the mouth of
M of his characters: that one may live
comfortably on a certain income named,
provided that she does not W duties
to society" How many a piece of ex-
trayagance is excused and CLOSED over
with the plea that really one is obliged
to do this or that-that it wouldn't look
well not to, etc. But who is really de-
ceived by the excuse OF the foolish act
itself? There are homes that are made
wretched through this notion of duty to
society which conflicts with duty to the
family. If every woman looked faith
fully to her work at home, lived within
her means, attended to each real obliga-
ton, there would he fewer discontinued
women vainly seeking for an outlet for
their surplus energy.-New York Post.

Precedence at Washington.

Concerning the much discussed ques-
ton of precedence among ladies in
Washington official society, Miss FREE
linghuysen is reported to have written
as follows in aprivate note, setting at
rest the story of i'll -feeling between her
mother, Mrs. McElroy. and Mrs. Car
isle: cit seems too bad that what the
president intended as a compliment to
a new speakers wife, should be con-
strued Us rudeness to my mother, to
whom he is stndiously polite and most
generously considerate. Mrs. Carlisle
and we are excellent friends. The re-
ceptions of the president my mother
has attended, and will always attend;
but Mrs. McElroy's Saturday after
moons she has begged to be excused,
us she is so weary of standing. The
story is foundationless, but has Won
derful life and lasts long. because peo-
pie love to think there is not peace in
President Artlur's household"

Boycotting Tobacco chewers.

from Inc Bu1alo express
Thirteen charming young women Of
Newark, N. j., have begun q crusade
against young men who chew tobacco.
They are banded together by a terrible
oath eye to allow the lips of q tobac-
co chewer to kiss their pure mouths.
An able reporter represents q blonde
with luscious crimson lips, Ianguishing
blue eyes, and a winsome. face, as, ex-
claiming, ITO fill ones mouth with
filthy tobacco, and then kiss the pure
lips Of a woman. is-is-is-oh, Z can't
find words to expires, my horror" A
piquant little brunette, whose sparkling
black eyes seemed to emit sparks Of
electric fire." asserted that she had
three different young men, who were
real nice looking" kiss her while their
breaths smelled Of awful. awful nasty
tobacco" and for over a week thereafter
she felt compelled to continually rub
her lips with a handkerchief in tho vain
hope of wiping off the stained kisses.
1t may be q very real evil that the New
ark young women are, organizing
against, but, if it's q fair question, we
