A s.n.,s,. wife and Mother.

The writer has in his acquaintance beau
tiful, bright woman whose husband has for
years been political factor in his state. They
began life, these two, with small financial re-
sources, and up to the last year have had an
increasing family, which now numbers five
children. The wife looks, possibly, a shade
more mature than when she laid aside her
orange blossoms, but has not yet deteriorated
into a mere nurse-maid. As years came
prosperity came too, and the woman, unwil-
ling that the energetic man should go ahead
Of her, kept even pace with him. MY chill

than they do just now" she once said, when
she relinquished some maternal duty to other
hands,
Always devoted mother she did not spend
Ter days flouneing and tucking, but so i'm
proved her mind that the children always
found her just little ahead of them, even
when they began to untangle the mysteries of
che science and struggle with the languages
at school. Writers, fond Of flowing rhetoric,
are given to dilating on the fashionable
mother who neglects her children for the ball
room and opera house, but is not the stupid,
ignorant mother who makes boast of wash

bruises just as bad! Certainly it is of III
finitely more value that woman should

view of the uncertain condition Of the

nothing will hold a quorum after the regu-

he will have to abandon the idea of consid-
ering the tariff bill this session On the
other hand the tariff reformers argue that
they are constantly gaining strength; that
Tue delay is part of their programme; and
that tue tariff question will be brought
up as soon as enough appropriation bills

appointed to succeed Joe Manley, whose

expired that Mr.. BigelOw, who is from
Maine, should not be removed from the

of helping confirm Pilsbury and Chase,
and otherwise showing their gratitude
for Cleveland's kindness, they fought
this brace of bandits to death, and, not
content with that. made open war upon
the presidents notion in regard to the

and he in turn retaliates. He cannot well

clared that she did not mind dying, bul
