Apropos, the other boys want to know if
the decidedly plain and elderly school
mistress whom one of their number is soon
to wed is like ''Katisha," endowed with
charms that are concealed from the curious
gage of the multitude or whether the
bridegroom elect is really so ETHEREAL as to
prefer the adOrnmentS of mind to those of
matter. And the gallantry displayed by
these young men is extremely praiseworthy;
l note it with pleasure. Not one of them
insinuates that the youth in question is not
acting from free choice, although it is Il
well-known fact that a down East
female pedagogue is possessed of
so much energy and determination
that the sterner sex is as SO much
wax in her hands, and when she makes up
her mind to marry a man, that man is as
good as married. That all Eastern school
maams do not marry is quite true. There
are not men enough to go around. you
know. When boy is first sent to begin
his education he realizes his danger, scents
it from afar, and if he is lad of spirit fees
the country as soon as ever he is big enough.
But I'll wager that you never heard of a
woman who emigrated to fresh fields with
the avowed purpose of teaching who didn't
succeed in securing husband. Now did
you?

TILE FARMERS

An exchange calls attention to t
that while the red front of anarchy rears
itself in some cities and the vulture of
municipal corruption feasts upon the vitals
of others, the agriculturist is happy and
prosperous and not in the least annoyed by
the connections which disturb the cities. 1t
is fortunate that it is so. The farming
interest is the solid foundation upon which
rests the entire fabric of our social and DO
litical Institutions. AS long as the
foundation is unmoved the struc-
ture is safe. While the agricultural
interest may not be seriously affected
by the troublous events which are occurring
in many of the large cities, it is not fair to
say that the farmers are Indifferent to them.
Because they are exempted from the dis
orders incident to municipal life and gov
eminent. does not signify that they are not
possessed Of sympathetic natures. On the
contrary, the farming classes experience
most seriously feeling of sympathy for all
other business interests which are disturbed
by the social connections in the cities. The
position of independence and exemption
from trouble which grows out of
the disturbed relations of labor, ought
to suggest to the American peo-
pie the Importance of encouraging agricul-
tural industry. Thele are too many men
in the shop and behind the counter and too
few on the farm. This is particularly true
of the young men of this generation. This
exodus from the country to the city has
been a positive injury to the farming in
dustry, without being a corresponding BEN
eft to the commercial interests of the coun-
try.

TOO PACIFIC

The general pacific policy of the state
department under Secretary BAYARD's adj
ministration is acceptable to the American
people so long as it does not compromise
the national honor. The disposition mani
tested by the state department to restrain
our national anger when an American fish,
ing vessel was seized by the Canadian au-
thorities met with public appreciation,
because it was apparent that the Dominion
government was in the right. But it
is not clear that Mr.. BAYARD has
not made concession compromising
to our national dignity by direct
ing that no further investigation be
made relating to the killing of Capt. CRAw-
FORD. 1t is true that Capt. CRAWFORD
was OH Mexican soil at the time he was
killed, but he was there in accordance with
the terms of agreement between this coun-
try and the Mexican government, providing
for the very exigeney which then existed
If he had no business there it is the place
of the Mexican government to show it. If
he was there for any purposes inimieal to
the Mexican authorities he invoked the
fate which overlook him. But if he was
not, then it is the duty of the American
government to demand an explanation and
reparation. 1t is just to the memory of the
brave soldier and just to our own sense of
national honor that this should be done.
The American people are not pleased with
Secretary BAYARD's course in this matter
We desire peace with all nations, but not
at the price of national dishonor.

THE BUILDING OUTLOOK.

From the interviews which the GLOBE
has had with number of gentlemen who
enjoy exceptional facilities for observing
the result of the labor troubles upon build
ing contracts in st. Paul, it would appear
that there is less cause for complaint than
had been anticipated. In every community
persons are to be found who seem to
delight i'll taking the most sombre
view OF any matters affecting large inter-
ests, personal or public. The exception has
not been the case in st. Paul during the
agitation now happily nearing an end. The
usual doleful stories have been told of the
immense damage St. Paul has sustained
through the difficulties existing between
employers and employees. and the usual
credulouS persons have listened to and
believed every one of the croaking
evil prophets. The facts, however, as seen
by the men best competent to judge, do not
warrant dismal view of the situation. 1t
doubtless true that building has been
temporarily checked by the loss of time
occaSioned through strikes and the delay
incident to the arbitration of differences,
but it is backset which has nothing per-
manent about it. If not overcome within
the present year it is certain to be
more than counterbalanced in the near
future. Even if additional industry does
not bring the building record up to the
usual average at the close of the year, the
prospect Is very fair that in the succeeding
year the record will be far surpassed. To
tI,a 4
strongly incline. In their opinion the pres
ent is both good and favorable time for
making contracts and it may be expected
that many will be signed which will bear
excellent fruit i'll the near future.

A wedding i'm Rome.

ROmo Letter.
The wedding of the pretty Miss Moulton,
stepdaughter of the Danish minister to the
Quirinal, has been one of the chief society
events of the past week, although, for FAM
lily reasons, 1t was celebrated rather quietly.
[ told your readers of her betrothal to Count
Raben, Danish nobleman of high family
and large fortune. The bridegroom's father
is eXtremely aged and the bridegroom him
self desired to hurry on the ceremony in
stead of waiting till Lent was over. as
would otherwise have been done. lest any
thing should happen which might defer his
happiness for somewhat indefinite period.
Thus the reception at the house of the
brides mother after the ceremony was
limited to few intimate friends and rela-
tives; but the American church (St. PauFs),
where the marriage was performed. was
thronged by brilliant assembly. Admis-
sion was by ticket. The corps diplomatique
was strongly represented, and,
as was natural, the American
colony also, for the brides
mother is American born, having been
formerly Miss Lily Greenough of Boston,
Mass, if | am not mistaken. 1t were i'm
possible to enumerate all the toilets of all
the fair danes and damsels standing closely
together in crowded church. All one gets
on these occasions is a Kaleidoscope i'm
preston of shining satin, bloomy velvet,
soft plumes and glittering beads of many
colOrS. But there is always little space
left for the central figure; and the young
lady, who is now Countess Raben, in her
long, sweeping robes of white brocaded
satin and veil of cobwebby lace, looked as
fair and sweet bride as one could desire to
see.

PIN MONEY POINTERS.
Inexpensive Yet Pretty Spring Bon
nets..Hints 10 HOusekeepers.

nefS..HlRfS to HOuSekeepers.
The new spring jackets are costly little
articles, and yet are almost absolutely
necessary. 1t will soon be too warm to
wear the long winter ulsters and wraps and
something lighter in weight will sbe found
useful.
1t takes from Sc to SO to purchase a
jacket already made, but one made at home
will cost only $3.50 and look equally az
we'll.
The best material to select is the rough
boucle or homespun cloths, which are now
selling for so and 60 cents per yard. As
these are double width, one and one-halt
yards will be found necessary for a jacket.
The short, round shape is the best, and the
edge is neatly faced.
-Four large ornamental buttons may be
purchased for so cents or less, and will Or
nament the garment nicely. Braid is HAND
some for trimming, but will cost about so
cents additional.
The large dry goods stores are making O
speciality of ready-made Undertaking at
this season, and most garments are cheaper
purchased in this way than when made at
home. Care in selecting them is, however,
necessary.
Skirts trimmed with thin Valenciennes
lace Will not be found at all serviceable, 81
though they are very pretty for occasional
wear.
Many ladies purchase untrimmed gar
ments and then trim them to suit their own
fancy. This is also an economical way.
1t is mistake to suppose that pretty
hat or bonnet is expensive. Some of tbs
most effective cost but little.

BRIGHT,S DISEASE.

Ex-PreSident ARTHUR is dying from
Bright's disease. 1t is disease which kills
great many people these days, although
it is not very far back when it was totally
unknown to medical science. 1t is an aris-
tocratic disease, for its rayages are confined
almost exclusively to people in the higher
grades of society. 1t is more prevalent in En-
gland than in America, although it is on a
rapid increase in this country. These
facts have something to do with
determining the causes of this fatal
malady which so successfully battles the
arts of the physician. 1t is a well-estab-
lished fact that spirituOus liquors are an ag-
gravating if not provoking cause, but if
ardent spirits were alone responsible for the
malady it would assail all classes of people,
the humble as well as those in the higher
stations. 1t is evident, therefore that the
condition of living has much to do with
contracting the malady. 1t is the high liver
who is usually the victim. The more the
Americans initiate the style OF the upper
English classes the more prevalent the dis
ease becomes in this country. Bright's dis
ease is one of the penalties of violating the
laws and customs which govern the simpli-
city of our American democracy.

wAsHINGToNIAN CHARITY.

The national capital, when it develop
something interesting, whether it is pres
ldential marriage or a charity fair, gener
ally gives up It's whole mind to it. That
was the reason why, perhaps, the Kermiss
recently held in Washington was such a
glltterlng success. 1t is asserted that the
dressing was the most superb ever seen at
the capital, that it was, in fact, Partisan in
Costumes and gorgeousness, while the at
tendance was most brilliant. The proceeds
were, OF course, enormous, but so
were the expenses. Therefore, as none of
the self-sacrificing promoters of the affair
could be expected to lose money through it,
only the most carping critic would find
fault with the diminutive proportions of the
sum realized for charity, Even though by
its outcome financially the Kermiss will not
furnish regal amount for relieving the
pressing needs of Washington's poor, the
occasion must be considered a distinct tri-
umph. 1t afforded an unparalleled oppor-
tunity for the display of fine figures and
elegant toilets, and surely that is something
gained. If charity does cut but a poor
figure in the result, there is always the COM
forting reflection that charity should begin
at home. and that to be good first to oneself
is at present the law OF the fashionable
world.
