NAMES DELEGArIoN.--In one respect
the Democrats have been outgencrallcd
by the Republicans and that is in the re-
tcntion of Congressman Of ability and
long experience in the House. Such cX-
pcrience in shaping legislation and man
aging matters on the floor of the house
is invaluable and i only acquired by long
service. Mr. Reed is after all only a fair
representative of the policy the Republi-
cans have followed of keeping their best
men in Congress, while the Democrats
are constantly changing them. Maine
for instance, retains Me>SrS. Reed, Ding
lev, Milliken and Boutellc, who have rep
resented in the House for several sessions,
and the four men are the peers in debate
of any four men on the Democratic side

Fulton also painted and exhibited the first
panorama ever exhibited In Paris, and used the
proceeds from II TO forward his inventions In
other lines. He also invented the first sub
marine torpedo boat In 1900, but 1t was not
great success. He also invented the first tor
pcdo, and blew up several old ships with them
and demonstrated their practical use in time Of
war. During his youth he was called "Quick-
silver Bob" by the worllmen In the shops
around which he used to WORK, and get up his
Inventions, and this name chung to him during
his entire yonth. His parents had sent him to
school, but the teachers invariably failed to do
much with him, and when he was ten years
old, one OF them In answer to his parents
questions II Robert was attending to his ooks,
said frankly that Robert had declared TO him
'that his head was so filed with original no
tions that he had no vacant CLIMBER In which
to store away the contents Of any dusty

Fulton's first steamboat, and the first steam.
boat launched In this country, was named the

many were the laughing faces when she started
from New York's harbor ON her trial trip But
they changed when she swung out into the
stream and steamed up the Hudson People
looked with wonder at the strange craft NOV
ing along against wind and tide without sails,
and the other craft got out Of the way with all
speed. On her next trip and after night came
on, as she passed the palisades, countryman
saw the steam and sparks and smoke coming
up the river,and ran home to tell his wife that
he chad seen the Dew lcomingup the Hudson,
breathing fire and smoke from his nostrils,

How the Canadian lndi ans Fight.

Toronto Globe.
A gentleman who has spent many years
among the Indians and hah-breeds Of the
northwest declared that they have attained
remarkable proficiency in the use OF rife.
Their aim is unerring, and they seldom fail to
bring down their game. In years gone by,
when buffalo hunting was the chief event in
these peoples life, he had many opportunities
of observing their skill, which was simply
marvellous On these occasions everything,
barring in the slightest degree upon the case
vas left to q captain, who gave the word of at
ack. Until then not move could be made.
Sad havsc was made in the ranks of the buffa-
10 by these natives Of the prairie, although
only with An old flint~lock rifle. Powder was
carried in a horn, and strung across the shout
der and the balls thirty two to pound, in
the mouth. Thus equipped and mounted, the
huntsmen engage in the chase. After dis
charging his rifle, his steed was guided by the
knee and kept running in the direction desired,
the powder was deity slipped into the chamber
and then holding the barrel to his mouth, the
ball was dropped into its place, then striking
the rife on the knee, causing the ball and
powder to come together the hunter was ready
for another shot. The loading of their rifles Is
thus done in a moment. II, with such poor
and antiquarian rifles, such wonderful results
were accomplished, it ia not difficult to account
for the deadly effects Of their fire in the Duck
Lake fight, armed as they were, with the most
improved weapon of modern warfare.

A Iananesa Girls Toilet.

In making her toilet Tor the day, sne nrst
puts on agarment usually mad, of some course
material, not very long, reaching only to the
waist, but with long sleeves. On the neck Of
this garment is sewed a deep fold Of scarlet, or
some bright colored Grape or silk.
A long straight skirt Of blue or red Grape,
silk or wool is tied around the waist and over
these three garme nts is worn the kimono, or
dress, This is Of some dark color and is Of
coarse spun silk or thick Grape. For festivals
or holidays the dresses are of very fine material
and very handsome.
The outer dress is simply wrapper reaching
to the feet, with very long and wide sleeves,
reaching to the floor and used AS pockets. On
each shoulder deep tuck is made which ex'
tends to the waist, thus making little full
ness for the skirt But the dress has no gath
ers, and is straight all the way down.
The neck Is adorned with wide piece Of
velvet and satin, which reaches nearly to the
waist, and the dress is crossed over the bosom
and held by gird!e. Over this is worn very
wide sash, piece Of brocaded silk or satin
stiff with embroidery Of gold or silver, lined
with soft sink and fastened behind with larg
bow. When these are all, but barefooted, or

The Queen Re- ent Of spain.

Poor Chrlstiana only knows how TO walk
and to courtesy with . stately grace, and to
embroider and play on the piano. She has not
nexibility enough TO ensbls her to adapt herself
to her new and trying position. 30 long as
she IL regent, she must be tool Of some party
leader or another. She has not even fcmi-
nine talent for humbug, and 10 yet devoid Of
openness Of manner. Queen Isabella Il too
much used up In health to wish to again mount
the throne. II she were little younger, the
best thing to do would be TO make her sover-
ign second time. As her abdcation had q
vice Of form, many Spaniards think her still
their queen. She Ia extremely popular. When
she appears at . bull-fght, shc saluted
with hands, eyes fan and her whole head,
whereas he daughter-in-law makes Court OF
Vienna bow. They are mechanical and crate
on the nerves Of the populace and upper clas-
ses. While reserved In an Austrian way, she
has in every day life, German taste for simph-
city. Thus she goes out unattended by nurse
or TO drive with her two little daughters. and
30 her subjects think, cheats them Of the gratis
spectacle which they feel well paid royaly owes
them. Her preference for German doctor
has turned the faculty against her; and where
is IL that its members do not penetrate.-Lon

President CIeyeIand's Lost Love.

Philadelphia Times. . =.
There is dim shadowy fear among the fair
sex at the capital that the mythical Buffalo
lady whom rumor has bethrothed to Mr.. Cleve-
land may then up at any time and carry of the
prize but there is the best authority for stating
that the fear is groundless. The only woman
that the President ever did love has been dead
for more than twenty years. The most authen-
tic reports have it that while quite young
man, while teaching school in western New
York village, he met and loved ayoung girl,
not yet II. They were engaged, but the pow
erty of both parties prevented marriage. The
young teacher made up his mind that he would
go to Ohio and provide home for his betroth-
ed, and was about to start for the west when
she fell sick, and in less than week was car
ried to her last resting place. There are no
absolute proofs of the story. The President
has never mentioned the matter TO his nearest
friend, and the only source of information is
town gossip, handed down with perhaps the
usual variation and additions. Whether the
President has remained single out of q roman
tic fidelity to the memory of his youthful love,
or whether bachelor life is best suited to his in
clinations, is Of course a matter Of conjecture.
Those who know him best say he is too well
fixed in his old ways to change at this late
day, and that no bride will be mistress Of the
White House while he is an occupant

ADDISON CAMsfACK-

been many tales told about Addison, and the
manner in which he made his start in the mon
etary world, and among them the story that he
got in the slave trade, being interested It was
claimed with Messrs. Nelson G. Trowbridge
and Charles Lamar, the latter a relative Of
Secretary Lamar, which two gentlemen owned
the yacht Wanderer, which landed 600 slaves
in Savannah in 1859, if the story is correct.
Although Mr. Cammack was an intimate associ-
ate of these gentlemen at that time 1t is posi-
lively denied by those who ought to know that
his start was gained in this way, or that he
had anything to do with the slave trade, but
this is the story that has gone around Wall
street ever since Mr.. Cammack entered it.
During the war Mr.. Cammack was interest
ed In blockade runners and lived In Havana,
and after the war he was pardoned by Presi-
dent johnson, came to this city, and entered
the street, where he has been ever since, and out
of which he has carved large fortune. He is
known as the brains Of the 'bear element"
and is looked at with interest by the bulls, es-
pecially when he gets upon the war-path, girds
UP his loins, and rushes for break in the mar
ket. Mr.. Cammack is about ffty-eight years
of age and there has been some talk Of his
retirement from the street but he Is good for
several years yet.
An interesting gentleman Just at this time
is Mr.. William Dorshelmer, editor and pro-
prietor of the Daily Star, the old time Tam
many organ which bit the dust over the cleo
tion Of Cleveland, whom 1t refused to support,
and which Mr.. Dorsheimer regenerated, resur-
rected, and is now running upon strictly Dem
| ocratic principles, without regard TO the va
rlous organizations Of the city. Mr.. Dorshc-
| inner Is however, also the United States Dis
trict Attorney who has the handling OF the
cases against Messrs. Warner and Work, ir
the never ending Ferdinand Ward matter, and
every day or two the case goes dragging it'
slow length along like the everlasting flow o.
the shining Hudson, and where 1t viii brinl
up is a conumdrum beyond the ken Of ordina
ry mortals When last heard Of, this week
the prospects were that II would be continued
until either Warner and Works money CAV
out, or the government treasury becam
depleted. The only charge against then
which Mr.. Dorsheimer has anything T.
do with Is that Of assisting Ward In wreckinI
the Marine Bank, national institution, an
one of Uncle Sans pets in this city. Messrs
Warner and Work are taking the matte
leisurely enough, and so is everybody concern
ed, while the people who lost the amount
have pretty generally reached the conclusio
that what little Is left after the courts get
through with the matter wiz not be wort
Aghting over. srrs,ro HxasT1-
