Intellectual Women rs Wives.

Do intellectual women make the best
partners for lifei Emerson says sit is
not beauty that inspires the deepest
passion" and jean Paul Richter declared
that he would not lead woman into the
matrimonial moose whom IL would not de-
light TO hear him read the learned reviews
of Gottingen, or the universal German
library, when they sounded his praise,
though il might be in some degree ex-
aggerated. John Stuart Mill regarded the
institution Of marriage IN its highest aim
and aspect as "a union Of two persons Of
cultivated faculties, identical in opinion
and purposes, between whom there exists
that best kind of equality, similarity Of
powers with reciprocal superiority In
them, so that one can enjoy the luxury Of
looking I'D 10 the other and can have al
ternately the pleasure Of leading and
being led in the path of development.
But other men Of genius have thought
differently on the subject. Ii IS an oft
quoted saying Of DR.. Johnson that "a man
in general is better pleased when he has n
GOOD dinner on the table than when bis
wife talks Greek" Racine had I'm illit-
erato wife and was accustomed to boast
fully declare that she could not read any
Of his tragedies. Dufresny married his
washerwomau. Coethe's wife was a
woman Of mediocre capacity. Heine said
Of the woman lie loved, "Shc has never
read line of my writings and does'not
even know what poet is" Thorese La
yasseur, the last lamo of Rousseau, could
not tell the time OF day. How many Of

Progress of the Chippewss.

twenty-five Chippewas have gone back
from the House of the Good Shepherd,
Denver, Colo, to thcir parents in northern
Dakota, after finishing a three years
course Of study at the institution, and
thirty more have just arrived to be intro
duced to civilization. The parents Of the
girls who have gone home are very proud
that their daughters have been taught to
read and write and have learned many
things concerning the ways Of the pale
faces. The first thing that the educated
little Indian maid does is to transform the
lodge OF filth into one that is neat and
tidy and as homelike as it can become
under the circumstances. BY degrees the
parents fall into the habits OF their
daughters, first attracted by curiosity and
finally realizing that civilized ways are
fully as comfortable as their own bar
barous customs. Boston Transcript.

Ir is stated that "A canvass of the house
of representatives has been made and the
number of democratic members pledged
to support the Mills tariff reform bill
lacks only five of maJority of the house.
1t is to be hoped that enough indepen-
dent republicans may be found to pass it.
but this is doubtful At any rate, it is
not likely to command more than u bare
majority, so that the fate of the measure
may be considered extremely problemat-
ical. 1t is SO easy to defeat bill by dill
atory tactics, especially when the season
is far ad dvanced, as is the case now. In ad-
dition, the bringing forward of bill by
lican of his following will be as active
as ever in defeating the expressed will of
the vast majority of the democratic party.
Whether the bill passes the house at this
session is, however, after all, matter of
minor importance, as it would be almost
certain to meet with defeat in the repub-
lcan senate The main point is to con
vince the people that if the monstrous
war taxes are ever to be lowered it can
only be done through the democratic
party. This objact can be attained by
making sincere and earnest effort in
that direction, no matter whether the at
tempt is successful or unsuccessful.

dent to transmit to the senate copies Of the

closed a COPY of the letter received from the
secretary Of state on the subject, and said he
boped the information contained therein

olution. The president requested that his mes
sage and the letter from Secretary Bayard
be made public but senator's, after perusal,
came to the conclusion that il was not pub

the Injunction of secrecy upon the whole mat

president of March 8, 1883 the concluding
correspondence between the United States
and Great Britain in relation TO American

waters was communicated to the senate. and,
together with what has been previously sent

potentiaries in this capital ON Nov. % last
Together with the special message referred to-
the full text of the joint protocols agreed to
and duly signed by the secretaries with the
approval of the conference were also trans

course pursued in previous negotiations,
when the conference met il was agreed that
an honorable confidence should be maintained
in its deliberations, ard that only results
should be announced and such other matters
as the Joint protocolists should sign under the
direction of the Observation-Disclosures.
with this understanding, which was strict
ly kept, the discussions proceeded through its
numerous and prolonged sessions with that
freedom and informality in the exchange of
views which the nature of the negotiation re-
quired, and without which its progress would
have been materially hampered and any
agreement rendered very difficult of attain

porter asked George Gould just before he

One thing more can say. In view of the
serious strike now in force ON the Chicago,
Burlington Il Quincy lines and the threaten
