The Boots of English Girls,
From the Lon9on World.


l am glad to find that have warm sup
porters in my crusade against the English
fashion of wearing ugly boots. A lady writes
to me: II cannot say how rejoiced am that
you are making another effort to improve
the chaussure of the English girls. The
thick -soled. low heeled, badly citing masses
OF wrinkled too-bigness are ever with us a
baneful horror that it would be mercy to
get rid Of. The reason you give for the exist
ence of so much unnecessary ugliness is
doubtless the true one, and fully agree with
you as to it's absurdity.
There is just as good reason. every whit, for
making girls wear at all times and seasons
thick wooden gloves about four sizes too large,
instead of nice tight ki1s. / do not for a mo
ment cay that girls may not, in the country,
reasonably wear, as you say. stout. sensible
boots:' but what 90 say ls that such things
are no more fitted for the dressy promenade
than is the plough horse for drawing the
smart victoria. In my time croquet parties
were at the full, and short dresses compelled
an attention to ones foot gear that is now too
much excused. At that time we invariably
perched upon the tallest Of Louis XIV. heels;
but now, alas! / find my daughters the only
wearers of them for about half mile round"

A SPECIAL MESSAGE
Sent to Congress by a President whose
Sons Nose Was Pulled.


Ben: PerIev Poore's "Reminiscences.
Mr.. Adams private secretary was bis son,
John Adams. who soon made himself very
obnoxious to the friends of Gen. Jackson
One evening Mr.. Russell Jarvis, who then
edited the Washington Telegraph, news
paper which advocated Jacksen's election,
attended drawing room" at the White
House, escorting his wife and party of visit
ing relatives from Boston. Mr.. Jarvis intro
duced those who were with him to Mrs. Ad-
ans, who received them courteously. and
they then passed on into the east room
Soon afterward they found themselves
standing opposite to Mr.. John Adams. who
was conversing with Rev Mr.. Stetson. Nv no
is that LADY," asked Mr., StetsoD, THAT"
replied Mr., John Adams. in tone so loud
that the party heard it, sis the wife OF one
Russell Jarvis, and If he knew how contemp-
tibly he is viewed in this house, they would
not be here"
The BOstOnians at once paid their respects
to Mrs. Adams and Withdraw, Mr.. JARVIS
having first ascertaIned from Mr.. Stetson that
It was Mr.. John Adams who had lnsulted
them. A few days afterward Mr.. JARVIS sent
note to Mr.. John Adams, demanding an ex-
PLANTATION, by friend of his, Mr.. Nc Lean.
Mr.. Adams told Mr.. Mclean that he had no
apology to make to Mr.. Jarvis. and that he
Wlshed no correspondence with him.
A week later Mr.. John Adams went to the
capitol to deliver messages from the Presi-
dent to each House of Congress. Having de-
llyered that addressed to the Speaker of the
House of Representatives.. he was going
through the rotunda toward the Senate cham
Der, when he was overtaken by Mr.. Jarvis,
who pulled his nose and slapped his face. A
scuflle ensued, but they were quickly parted
by Mr.. Dorsey. a Representative from Mary
land. President Adams notified Congress in
special message OF the occurrence, and the
House appointed a select committee of inves-
tigauon. witnesses were examined and
elaborate reports were drawn up. but neither

1t is claimed that Maurice b. FLYNN, the
New York city political boss, who has
been indicted for having entered into
corrupt bargain relative to the patronage
of the office of the Commissioner of Pub
lie Works, is a jobber of much more
gigantic proportions than ever Tweed
was. 1t is stated that when Tweed began
the court house for New York county the
estimate was that 100000 would COM
plete it. Fifteen millions were expended,
of which $1,000, 900 and little over was
stolen directly and openly. Flynn's
aqueduct job contemplates an expendi-
ture of SAC, 100000, and there is provision
for $6,000,000 profit in the form OF per-
centages. Tweed aud Cook did not get
$2,000,00 out Of the public works in their
years of plumber. how many thousands
have gone the same way under recent
management OF the public works no man
can tell until an honest administration of
city affairs determines by investigation.
The subway contract is worth anywhere
from one to two millions profit to the men
who have organized to control it, if they
are not exposed. and Flynn Is understood
to have control OF 1t. 1t would seem to be
about time for the tax payers OF New
York to find out how their money is being
spent.

Western road and the proposed road from
Tallahassee Will be pointed out. In fact, this

Mr.. Murat Halstead and John r. Nc
Lean have got a good deal of notorlety, il
that is what they were after when they
called upon two Virginia gentlemen to
take charge of the settlement of their diff
ticulties. Subsequent developments leave
little doubt that they would have acted
more wisely if they had not given out the
correspondence OF their seconds relative
to the affair. However, if they are salts
fed it doesn't seem as if anybody else
had right to interfere.

The Boston Globe thinks the bank Off
sials OF that city are stupid, because on
account Of the disturbed condition OF
financial affairs there, caused by two
heavy deialcstiOns, they have ordered a
general decrease in the line OF discounts
OF their regular customers, thereby in
ereasing the trouble instead OF trying to
help business men. In times OF trouble
selhshness comes prominently to the
front.

Mrs. CIeveland's Good Advice.

Miss Rose Cleveland expressed herself
as on the side OF temperance when she
was at the White House. and il seems
that Mrs. Cleveland is also on the same
side. Not long ago Mrs. Crow, of Little
ton, Wetzel county, W. Va, wrote to her
asking her opinion relative to the pro-
priety of a woman's signing the pledge.
In letter dated Aug. II, Mrs. Cleveland
answered in very sensible letter. This
is the letter:
The subject to which you refer and ask
my advice is one in which your own con-
science must dictate the wisest course
for yourself TO pursue. You have better
opportunities for knowing how you can
do the most good, and it seems to me that
should be the standard by which we
women should settle all our great ques-
tions in life. 1t rarely occurs that a
woman needs for herself the restraining
Influences of a temperance pledge, but
if by placing ourselves under the obli-
cations OF such an organization we
can better help our fathers, brothers, low
ers and friends, think there should be no
hesitation in the matter. l know some-
thing of the Good Tempiars, and that they
do much good work. 1t Is quite certain
you can 90 no harm by casting your lot
on the side of temperance, and you may
do much good. DO not consider 1t a small
matter by any means, and | am glad you
asked the question. 1t is encouraging to
know OF every sister who wants to add
her strength to the cause which happily
some day will rid our land of ruined men
and broken families.
If women OF sense follow their own con-
vlctions ofright there will be very few of
them who will not be on the side of tenn
perance. They exert tremendous in
fuence, and if exerted in behalf OF TEN.
perance would save many man from a
drunkard's grave, and many home from
unhappiness, poverty and even disgrace
