CHIEF JUSTICE WAITE.
The True Story OF His Appoint
ment by General Grant.

ment by General Grant.
At Toledo the other day, The Blade
saws, Gen. Isaac r. Sherwood re-
marked: Il have been rather amused at
the attempts made by newspaper cor
respondents to tell how Chief Justice
Waite received his appointment, but no
one has yet made correct statement.
1t has been Sowed broadcast throughout
the country that Mr.. Waite's speech at
the Army of the Tennessee reunion in
this city did it, but that is not so.
'sYou see, represented this district
in congress at the time, and as l was in
Washington at the time OF the appoint
ment, was in position to know some,
thing about it. After Williams and
Gushing had been rejected by the senate
Clark Waggoner wrote to me from
Toledo and suggested the name of Nor
rison r. Waite. Acting on his sugges-
ton, went to President Grant and pro-
posed Mr.. Waite's name. in
"sMorrison r. Waite repeated Grant.
.oh. yes. | remember him well. He
made a magnificent speech at our re-
union in Toledo 81
II then went to Columbus Delano.i
secretary of the interior, and Gen!
COwan. his assistant, and enlisted their
aid. These two men did more, perhaps,
than anv others to secure Mr.. Waite's
appointment. A great deal of work
was done for Mr.. Waite, and great
many kilograms passed between Wash-l
ington and Northwestern Ohio, but the
appointment was secured. 81
You see there was an immense OPP
position to Mr.. Waite's appointment
from the members of the supreme COURT
who were Jealous because it was pro-
posed to make an outside man chief
Justice. The senate was. also exceed
ingly cautious about confirming an APP
pointment to so important an office;
hence the success of Mr.. Waite's friends
was doubly gratifying. Directly after
he received the appointment he wrote
me letter thanking me for what had
done. and that letter l still have"
''You were present at the reunion,
were you not, general?'
O"Oh, yes: and believe that it was the
biggest day Toledo ever had. Little
Phil was present, and at late hour was
hoisted upon the banqueting table for
speech. Mr.. Waite's response was
splendid effort, and preserved a copy
of his speech. Grant was much pleased
with it, as was every one else who was

convey the healing influence more
quickly to the seat of life. Also old
physicians mixed their potions and med
icaments with this finger because, as an
old chronicle affirmS, mo venom can
stick upon the outmost part of it, but it
will offend man and communicate
itself to his heart" Founded upon this
belief was the custom of wearing the
wedding ring upon that finger. Other
reasons have been assigned for so doing.
but this is. without doubt, the primary
one.
Puritan influence sought to abolish
the ring as vain and heather emblem,
but the sweet old fashion of giving and
taking the token, ''for our loves sake"
yet remains to us.
The fashion of betrothal or, as we
phrase it nowadays, engagement"
rings varies from time to time, and al
ways depends, or should do SO, upon the
purse of the donor. Where there are no
limitations of this sort, his taste, if it be
perfect, will lead him to choose a dia-
mOnd solitaire, and of the finest he can
afford, small and pure stone being
altogether preferable to big ''rock'' of
doubtful color. Some prefer ring set
with three stones, generally a sapphire
set between two diamonds. Others
select ruby or an emerald, which sig
nifies a promise of happiness. A few
choose pearls, but there is prejudice
against these jewels, as they are sup
posed to typify tears. They are also too
perishable to become
EAlBLEAfs OF A LOVE
which, in its first glow at least, is al
ways understood to be indestructible.
Their beauty is very precarious, being
easily dimmed or ''aged." as the lapi-
Diary phrases it, by contact with impure
air, while acid annihilates them COM
pletely. like the famous one which the
fair Egyptian. brilliant sorceress of
the Nile" dissolved and drank to her
imperial lover ages ago.
Only the wedding ring remains nearly
the same through all time. The Romans
made theirs Of iron to express endur-
ance, and baser metals have been used
for this purpose from time to time since;
but the ideal marriage token, exquisite
ly described by an early English poet,
has not and cannot be improved upon
it is the ring of purest virgin gold,
neither too heavy nor yet too
slender. 1t is softly rounded over,
so that there are no sharp
edges, and if you suspend it by silken
thread (aS the child on the hearth-rug
has done with her trinkets) and smite it
softly it will ring out an indescribably
sweet sound which no other metal gives
forth. If you haven't heard this fairy
like music try the experiment, and hav-
ing once heard the true ring of the true
metal you will never forget its sweet
ness afterwards, and you will realize
that no other token is so fifty symbolic
Of true hearts devotion, while for the
''posie'' of the ring, no words are more
appropriate than Herrick' S lines already
alluded to:
And as this round
Is nowhere found
TO flaw. or else to sever,
So let our love
AS endless prove,
And pure as gold forever.

GOT 1T BAD.

Washington Critic.
A young man, who is evidently strug-
CLING with blonde mash, contributes
the following lines:
The beautiful blue of the heavens,
Which tints all the summer skies,
Was given to her by the angels,
To live in her gentle eyes.
The marvellous gold of the moonlight
Came down on the balmy air,
And the blushing morning found it
Asleep in her silken hair.
The radiant hue of the sunrise,
just touching the mountain peaks,
With blnsh that redeemed the morning,
Bent over and kissed her cheeks.
Her presence Is that OF the sunshine
Which comes from cloudless sky,
To warm all the world with its gladness,
To strengthen and glOrify.

WHAT AUSTIN NEEDS
The Gospel of Christ Exemplided In the
Life of the Unbellever.

This will cure every moral evil. It will
hold back the young from temptation; it
will keep the tippler out of the saloon
and from his bottle at home; it will dry
up the foul stains OF tobacco on our
walks and in the church; it will cause the
smoker to give up his pipe, and quench
the fire from the rolled leaf on our streets.
It will so stir the public conscience that
no saloon or gambling place will be al
lowed their corrupting influence within
the limits of our city. The Gospel, where
allowed to be the power of God, will make
happy homes and bring peace and pros
perity to families; it will restrain men
from over-reachirg IN trade; will check
all deceit and make men strictly honest.
Knowing that the Gospel alone can do
this, some OF our people are agitating the
question of Young Mems Christian As
sociation-undenominational - designed
for the public good. Some such organiza-
ton we greatly need. Let some young
man, profoundly Christian in character,
wide-awake, gifted with the power of
push and trained in Christian work, be in
duced to come and work with US, aided
by the fellowship of our churches and sus-
tanned by the material help of the public.
Our city would be greatly benefited by
such an enterprise. Shall we have it?
Let our pastors take the matter in hand
without delay and bring it before the
people and let them decide what they
will do.
With our late investments of capital,
enlargement Of business and increase of
population, let Austin come to the front
IN the most important of all her public
interests. A. M.
