The papers throughout the country are
calling attention TO the fact that there Is
only one bachelor in the Senate, Mr.. Sauls-
bury, of Delaware. The Senate chamber
has always been peculiarin this respect, and
very few bachelors have had seats in It. In
oldcn times the three bachelor senators who
are best known were Mr.. Buchanan, after
ward President; Mr.. w. II. King, of Ala
bama, and Gen. 4. l.. Clingman, of North
Carolina. II is related Of Mr.. Buchanan
that he was very partial to ladies' society. It
was the custom when he was in the Senate,
for the secretary of the Senate, Mr.. Asbury
Dickens, to give an evening entertainment
once week. At these entertainments
Mr.. Buchanan was a conspicuous figure.
lie did not disdain to dance or to
take hand at whist. Mr.. King was
known as "Miss Nancy" because OF the
ncatness Of his dress and his formality Of
manner. lie was an accomplished parlia-
mentarian, and frequently presided
over the sessions Of the Senate
during his long period of service,
extending over twenty years. Mr.. King
was elected Vice President on the ticket
with Gen. Pierce, but died at his home In
Alabama soon after and never presided over
the Senate as Vice President. Gen. Cling
man was the "great beau' in Washington
just previous to the war. lie was a leader
among the Wings and had served for sew
eral years in the House before his election
to the Senate. lie is still alive and spends
his winters in Washington. lie is a be.
lever in the virtues of tobacco and claims
that applied In n certain way II will cure
many Of the diseases which aillct us. Mr..
salisbury will no doubt derive comfort in
his solitary state by the reflection that in
the past these senators, who were similarly
situated, were all men Of ability who i'm
pressed themselves upon the times even If
they were debarred of matrimonial fclicities.

Under the Pines.

Among their green-clad hosts stand,
A willing captive In the land
Like yonder bird of flight sublime
The swallow from some tropic Cline
from the frozen north, the bird
From where the southern palms are stirred
Both of us travellers on our different lines,
The bird above, and beneath the pines.
listen to each well known sound
Once more-the music echoing round
The woodpecker's clarion, clear and strong,
Like trumpet In the battle throng-
The red birds flute, the wren's sweet lay,
The swamp thrush call at close of day
just as In other times again hear
The feathered minstrels singing In the air.
AS in some temple vast and grand,
With shaded aisles on every hand,
The singers in each gallery
Responsive chant their melody,
While stately pines uphold the dome
OF heaven above--God's glorious home
And louder than the mighty thunder's roll,
The sun small voice speaks to my listening
soul.
The memory comes beneath the pines
Somewhere, methnks, I've seen the lines
Some poet sang-the spring returns,
But not for me its glory burns
And as view the bursting life
OF tree and flower with beauty rife,
Some chords within are trembling sad and low,
As If for me the music would not flow.
In by.gone days in this dear place
We looked on many a smiling face;
But though the springtime comes again,
For some we loved we look in vain
Gone like the songs We used to sing,
Vanished like dreams we cannot bring
To mind, though meath the sobbing pines we
call,
The echoes fondly answer; that is all.
But see the swallow in his flight.
A spcck almost beyond my sight
And STILL though vanished from my view,
] hear his call from out the blue,
TIL in my heart he stirs the cry
for a wing to soar on high
Sure He who gives the wandering bird its
nest,
VIII some day bring me to His own dear
rest.

Culture in American Society.

VI. Paul Blouet Max O'Rell), who has
recently returned from America to Lon
don, Is reported by cable to have said
in an interview that there is more culture
and amiability in the higher society Of
America than in any other country in the
world VI, Blouet, Notwithstanding his
failure to secure enough encouragement
from Washington to come here to lecture
last winter, is one of the kcencst observers
10 be found and one Of the sharpcst and
most cXacting critics. We believe lie Is
right about what is called for convenience
the higher classes Of society in America.
The cultured people have widcr scope Of
learning, are more travelled, are more cos
mopoltan in their habits, language, read
Ing, and tastes than the people Of any other
nation.
This arises largely from the fact that we
are composite nation drawn from the
Older nations of Europe but rid of the
prciudces of Europe, The French are in

these countries is made up Of individuals
whose ancestry extends far back In the an
mails Of that particular country, and he Is
more or less shackled by family, as well as
national traditions, He has been taught to
believe he lives in a sort of walled fortress;
that the hand of every man outside Is
against him, and that his hand is against
every man who is not inside. One sees this
seltshness Of nationality everywhere. in
Europe, 1t is a kind Of impacted CON

Of the outside world because they don't

Haytien Revolution Feared.

The Secretary Of State has been informed
by the United States consul at Port au
Prince, Hayti, that fears are entertained of
another revolutionary outbreak on that
island. The report was of such character
that IL was decided advisable to send naval

English baronct who Is a member of parlia-

posed To be u typical American girl Of the
highest class, The baronet is supposed to be
typical Englshman. They fall in love- but
the girl is patriotic and has brother who is
not only patriotic, but terribly down on Eng
land and all Englishmen. The mother dies
10y and by, and the girl Is left to choose bc-
tween the baronot and her brother. She Is
very fond of her brotherand sympathiZed with
his lonely life, but love for the baronet tri-

and collected material to write a book, which
he resolved to call '"rhe Modern Warning"

Mn. W. T. lINRSADAY. who has charge Of the
living animals which belong to the Smithsonian
Institution, has allowed himself tu be inter
viewed to the extent of Il column or more In
the New York Hy0R concerning the proposed
geological garden for Washington. Mr..
lIarnaday says much that IS true and useful,
and the RErrBLICAN will help him in his eff
forts to secure Il geological collection worthy
of the national capital In every way possible,
and we have suggestion right now as to u
good place to- have II constructed. The gov.
crnmcnt already owns fine body of land just
across the Potomac, adjoining Arlington,
which is in fact part of the Arlington estate
but which Is now vacant and ovcrgrown with
weeds and bushes. Why not use this for the
proposed geological gardCng The grounds
already proposed are un Rock Creek, quite
two miles from the center of the city. II
would be no further to the Arlington
grounds, and leaving out Of the account the
fact that they already belong To- the
government they command a magnificent
view uf Washington and the Potomac river.
When the Memorial bridge is built, as II In.
evltably will be, II will be as easy TO 20 TO Ar
lngtUn as II would to go TO any other point
around the city at the same distance. We
heartily believe in the project of a geological
garden. Mr.. Harnaday has very good be-
ginning for one already. lie has two buftaloes,
two deers a leopard, three grown bears, a
young panther, lot Of foxes, coyote, some
badgers, a cage of raccoons, a few monkeys,
and quite a number of birds. These are Wis.
tied daily by a considerable number of people,
and MIR. Harnaday Is such good superinten-
dent that everything looks as neat as new
pin, These animals, as we understand II,
have all been given to the Smithsonian Insti
tuition. If we had geological garden the do.
nations would come from all directions. It
ought to be the largest and finest collection
Of animals In America. The idea is an ex
celent one, and the unused Arlington grounds
could be employed for no more entertaining
purnOse.

Is the Rescript to stand?

The RErUBIICAS has insisted all along
tlat there was but one meaning to the papll
roscript. That meaning is the one that any
onc with ordinary intelligence would appre-
bend ON reading 1t. No one can doubt for
Il moment that the pope meant TO com
Gumn "thc plan Of campaign and "boy-
cottiug.n The attempts to explain away
this transparently clear significance of the
rcsclipt have been absurd. Whether the
pope had the right to interfere in the politi
cal affairs Of the Irish people is
al altogether different question and one
that the Irish people are alone compc-
tent to settle That the meaning of the
rcscript is fully comprchended by the
Catholic clergy is illustrated by the only
official utterancC on the subject that has
come from one Of them since the rcscript
was issued. This is the letter of Bishop
O'Dwycr to the mayor Of Limerick, in which
he warned the Catholics not to attend the
nationalist meeting to he held there to-
day, saying they would be guilty of griev-
Gus sin in view of what the pope had said.
Here in America we have meeting Of the
executive committee of the Irish National
League called by President Fitzgerald to
consider what shall be done in view of the
action of Bishop BonOcum, of Chicago, in
showing his disapProvOlo of opposition to the
rcscriG Mr.. Eagan, of the Irish National
Le%Fric in America, and Mr. sutton, Its secrc-
tary, have both been refused admission to the
presence of Bishop Bonacum because of the
attitude they had taken toward the re.
script, The conclusion to be drawn from
these developments is that sharp, direct,
positive issue is to he made between the
authority Of the pope and the authority Of
The National League, The situation is an
exceedingly delicate and interesting one,

proposed series of articles on railroads and

Curtis Clarke, and is profusely illustrated.
If we are to judge by the first installment of
this series we should unhesitatingly say it
will be great success. Mr.. Clarke's article
is full Of wonderful facts told in most
agreeable manner. He has made charm
ing narrative out of dry subject. Wehave
no doubt these articles will be very widely
read. Another excellent contribution to
this number is Mr.. A. b. Wards article on

The leading article is Mr.. Bowker's second

fully interesting. The portraits are plenti-
full and good Among them are the faces
of James Payn, Thomas Hardy, Rider Hag-

Thos. Oliphant, and Thos. Craik. Mr..
Bowker knows good deal about the lives
and habits Of the people of whom he writes,
and there are many pleasantly told per-

the day that are quite new The article
will, no doubt, be very widely read and
greatly admired. There are other excellent
features to this number. Henry James has

The rage now is TO form parties Of young
people, and to make excursions into the
country either on horseback or in carriages.
II is hard to realize that not SO many years
ago that portion Of Washington where the
residences of Secretary Bayard, Justice
Miller, and Senator Hearst now stand was
known as the country, and was the favorite
resort Of those who were going on picnics
May parties, or tournaments. In fact, 1t
was the farm of Mr.. Charles HILL q leader
in society some thirty-ilye or forty years
ago. 1t was the habit Of the young people
of those days to drive out to the ''IIill

always sure OF receiving cordial and hos

Is right in the heart of the city, and those

Not many know who it was that first sug-
gestcd the idea of new library building.
The credit is due to the Hon. Solomon Foot,
who was senator from Vermont from
1851 to the time Of his death, IN March, 1866.
lie was for many years the chairman of the
committee on public buildings and grounds,
and he soon saw that II would be but few
years before the present library could not
accommodate the immense number of books
that would accumulate. As far back as
1865 he indicated the propriety of new
library building, The country was just
emerging from the war and we were bur.
dened with heavy debt, so that Mr.. Foot's
plan did not meet with much favor.
Twenty-one years afterward, through
the efforts of Senator Voorhees, and Col.
Singleton, a bill was passed which
embodied very many of the ideas of Mr..
