The Nations new First Lady.

Mrs-Senator Sherman, by the election of
her husband to the place of the Vice-Pres-
ldent, becomes by Washington etiquette,
the first lady of the land. There is no
one better fitted to occupy such position
than She She is finely educated, speaks
two languages, and is better read than the
wives of most of our noted men. She
reads French as easily as English, and has
a wide acquaintance with the literature
of both languages. She has travelled
widely, aud has been leading figure in
Washington society for the past thirty
years. She is one of the handsomest and
freshest looking women in Washington.
Her complexion is as rosy as that of
country school girl, and the silver which
has crept into the locks of her husband
smooth brown hair Mrs. Sherman is
rather retiring in her disposition, and
though she accepts the social duties
thrust upon her. she does not court fashl
ionable society like Mrs. Logan. She
always has house full of company, both
here and at Mansfield, and especially de-
lights in making her young lady friends
happy by a winter in Washington spent at
her home. She is good housewife and
manages her household affairs with as
much ability as her husband does his
political ones. She is the daughter of
Judge Stewart of Mansfield, one of the
prominent juristS and learned men of his
day, and the Senator married her shortly
after she had finished her education. The
two have always lived very happily toge-
Their, and Mrs. Sherman, unlike the wives
Of many of our statesmen, has kept pace
with her husbands intellectual growth and
has been helpmate rather than drag
to him-Cleueland Leader.

TO MAKE A TOWN.
Talk about it.

Speak well about it.
p.xs(- ~

Write about it.
Help to improve it.
Speak we'll about it.
Beautify the streets.
Patronize its merchants.
Advertise in Its newspapers.
Elect good men to all Offices.
Speak we'll of its public spirited, en-.
terprising citizens.
If you are rich invest something; en-
ploy somebody; be "hustler."
Remember that every dollar you invest
in permanent improvement is that much
on interest.
Be courteous to strangers that come
among you, SO that they may 60 away
with good impressions.
Always cheer on the men who go in
fer improvement; your portion of the
cost will be only what it just.
Don't kick at any proposed necessary
improvement because it is not at your
own door, or for fear your taxes will be
raised fifty cents.
Don't throw stumbling blocks in the
way of your town officers; they are
generally public spirited men and spend
lots of time in the public interest for
which they receive no remuneration.
Don't use rubber stamps on your let
ter heads; that IS dead give away on
your own business, or on the town and
newspaper published in It, Get your
letter heads, envelopes, business cards,
etc, printed in your local printing Office.
Never condemn the local paper unless
it has unfairly used you. If it dealt un-
justly with you write to it, or go into the
office and tell the editor about your case;
if he was wrong he will lose no time in
telling the public about it.
Don't let politics get mixed up with
your business; if you arc business man
don't lose the help that a newspaper can
give you because its politics are not your
politics, and by all means don't advertise
to help the printer along; advertise to

ADVERTISING BEGGARs.

We have frequent requests by mail
to publish complimentary or com
mandatory notices of machinery or
wares, the writer's or requestors, by
the very request itself, acknowledge
ing that the publication will be of value
to them; Yet they are cheeky enough to
present their matter without so much as
an inquiry as to cost. Usually these
cheeky demands are promptly consigned
to our capacious waste basket Such re
quests coming from our regular patrons
will receive the attention they deserve,
and will be given such space or promi
nence as we think courtesy may demand
of us. But this is wholly gratuitous-
unless provided for as part Of contract
and does not carry with it any editorial
endorsement. When such endorsement
is made it IS because the editor has seen
some peculiar merit in the article, or has
individual reasons for favoring the
patron. which it is his perfect right to
do. Some impecunious or niggardly
manufacturers seem to think that printer 8
ink and paper don t cost anything, and
that the time and brains Of the editorial
and business staff are contributed to run
publication for the fun and glory there
is the in business. And they would be
shocked out of their Sunday boots if the
editor should drop them a modest" re-
quest to send free steam engine, ETC.,
which is just reversing the thing as
to gouger and gougee, but not a whit
different in principle. As to the fun,
in running a newspaper or magazine
there's oceans lit, but it comes in along
with the ducats which acrue after sue
cess is won. And the glory is IN seeing
your best Sunday school stories willfully
cribbed by your neighbor, whose stock
ing is filled as an appreciation of the
smart things he has published as origi
nal. We sometimes have printed
columns of puffery offered us with a
mild request to publish few times in
resiprocation for an imaginary favor to
come later For these stupendous
frauds and horny checked beats we
haven't any punishment severe enough.
Our waste basket does often contain
some good things which we are COM
PEELED to file away there for lack of room
elsewhere. and it is an insult to them to
have these scarlet letters repose in proxim-
ity. Whenever we can catch our Joe in
vicious humor-which IS hardl-
seldom-we place them in his hands for
destruction. And the way he jams them
in atop of bituminous coal fire would
be splendid pattern for his satanic ma
jesty. Then they are placed at the top Of
our column-of smoke.-Erchange,
