PINS AND NEEDLES.
Fow They Managed to Keep Off
the Town"

PIN, and Needless that was what
the ir2cyercut youth of the town
dubbed them. There was a comical
fitness in the name. Both were 50
thin that you wondered as you gazed;
neither was ever guilty of donning
criuoline or hustle, and both, Conse-
quenlly, tapered down to the feet in a
way strongly suggestive Of coming TO
point. But Pins wore a black poke
bonnet, which, being very full, gave
her il little top on head, while Needles,
bluc-eyed needles, was smaller in the
head than elsewhere even, and that
clear sharp eye of hers that looked up
at you demanded impcratiycly to be
threaded right away.
Pins had been married twice and
had had an aiImcnt which had been
relieved by the efforts Of the church.
Likewise, her last husband had been
run over BY a train-thus furnishing
her the sum Of five hundred dollars,
tour hundred Of which had been kind
ly appropriated by the relative who
had aided her in getting it from the

wAsHINGToN's FALSE TEETH.
An Interesting Letter Written by Rem
brandt Peale, the Artist. .
Fronl the Netp York Critic.

From the NelO York Critic.
A most interesting letter from Rembrandt
Peale, in which the wide difference between
his well-known portrait of Washington and
that painted by Gilbert Stuart is accounted
for, recently made its appearance in the
Hospital Repieto, little monthly published
i'll Newark. N. j. 1t was discovered by Mr..
A. Q. Keashy, one of the leaders of the
Newark bar, in the course of a lawsuit for
ex-senator W. ii. Platt to whom the letter
was addressed. Peale was born on Wash
j gtOn'S birthday, IT'S. His portrait of the
firso President, a copy of which accompa-
med his letter to Mr.. Platt, was made when
he was less than IS years.of age, and the
following account OF it was written nearly
80 years afterwards philadelphia, March,
1854:
Before the invention of porcelain teeth
on gold plates it was the practice of the
dentist to fashion them from blocks of sea-
horse ivory One of these sets was made
by the elder Gardette for Gen. Washington,
but it was fortunate for me that he sat to
me without them, as they were just finished
and were clumsy and uncomfortable and
distending his mouth, so that he finally re-
jected them, and it was equally unfortunate
for Stuart that his portrait represents him
as he appeared for short time with them
looking. as Judge Washington informed ME,
AS If rlnsing his mouth with water, and, as
Stuart himself informed me, preventing
him from holding any conversation Though
ignorant of the cause, so es; entail to the
production of an animated likeness. / had
another advantage BY sitting so early as
z in the morning | had his hair before it
was curled and powdered by the barber
after which hour Mr.. Stuart's portrait was
painted"

OF INDIANA.

Judge Gresham is one of the men doomed
for the p esidency. Nobody questions his
worth and his strength in the Republican
party is not only great, but in all probable
ity much greater than appears to-day
Walter Quintin Gresham was born near
Corydon, Ind in 1888. He attended Bloom
Ington University, but was never graduated,
and subsequently read law at Corydon.
His professional career was highly success
ful, and in 1850 he was elected to the State
Leg stature, taking prominent part in the
war legislation of the period. He entered
the army as a Lieutenant Colonel and rose
to the rank of Brigadier General. In
the fighting before Atlanta he was seriously
wounded in the left leg five inches below the
knee. On his way home he was obliged to
stop at New Albany, where he remained a
year before his recovery. The tibia was
fractured, and though tho leg was not am
putated he still has to walk with a cane
and frequently suffers intense pain from
the fracture, which gives the leg a decided
curve. Subsequently to his partial recov-
cry, as military commander of the Natchez
Di trict, Gresham put down the cotton
thieves infesting it, and was instrumental
in sending many of the spectators back to
the North.
At the termination of his military career
Mr.. Gresham resumed his law practice in
New Albany, and in 1866 ran unsuccessfully
for Congress. Gen. Grant, when President,
wished to make him Secretary of the Inte-
rior, but that being impracticable, he
named him as Collector of New Orleans.
The appointment was declined. Subse-
quently Mr.. Gresham was appointed United
States District Judge for his district
In 1880 he was an unsuccessful can
didate for the United States Senate.
When Postmaster General Howe died in
1888, President Arthur rendered the port
folio to Judge Gresham, who served as
Postmaster General for nearly a year.
Near the close of President Arthur's term,
on the death of Secretary Folger, Judge
Gresham was appointed Secretary of the
Treasury, an office which he held for a short
period. In Octobe., 1884. he withdrew from
the Cabinet altogetb~.., and in December of
that year, Judge Drummond having retired
from the office of United States Circuit
Judge, President Arthur gave the appoint
ment to Judge Gresham.
Judge Gresham is over the medium
height, has dark hair and whiskers streaked
with gray, and a full, oval face. He is
judicial in appearance, having quiet, dig
nified manner, and pleasant way of talk
ing. He is man of unimpeachable integ-
rity, and staunch in his convictions and
purposes. His connection with the Repub-
lean party dates from its organization.

Decline of the Fever.


mcs-Denociat
The whole South must rejoice in
the steady decline of the fever as evil
denced daily by the reports from all
points affected. The constantly de.
creasing number both of new eases
and deaths at Jacksonville shows that
even there, where the disease fixed
its strongest hold. the worst is over.
At Jackson no new cases have de-
clared themselves since Sunday, and
there is reason to believe that there
the fever has re ,ched its destined
limit. From the few other points
where isolated cases have occurred
the accounts are equally encouraging
and all sustain the impression that
there will be no further spread OF the
Infection. The unusual GOODNESS of
the weather t"r the time of year
gives an additional guarantee of safe
ty ut present altogether uufavOrabIe
TO the exclusion of a yellow fever cpl.

escaped Its visitation may venture to
congratulate themsalve on their good
fortune, while their less fortunate

confidence a. tie speedy Termination
Of their trials.
