PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

why Those OF tho United States Arc In.
ferior In Every Respect.
It is not only jobbery in municipal
and State architecture which makes
our public buildings inferior as class
to those built by private enterprise. 1t
Is not only because the architect OF the
United States Government is changed
from time to time that the works for
which that Government is responsible
are so often discreditable. The whole
system by means of which the Govern
ment manages such matters is bad
one-bad not merely in the sense that it
is not always well administered. but in
the sense that it can not be so admin
istercd as to result in an average Of
works which would rightly represent
the standing of American architecture
to-day. Until the system is radically
changed-until the architectural bust
ness of the United States Government
is put upon such basis that it will
tempt the hands of our very best arch
fleets. and will permit that many Of
them shall join in devoting to it por-
ton of their time-until this good day
comes, American citizens may feel sure
of being as well served Gf they wish)
as any individuals in the world. but the
American people must be content with
a worse service than any other Nation
accepts. 1t must be satisfied to put it
self on record as too blind or too in
different to see and appreciate and Sc
cure quality of work which year by
year excites an ever-growing admira-
ton among our foreign visitors It
must submit to perpetuate the sins Of
a past generation Of architects when it
might be giving immense assistance to
the virtues Of the generation which Is
now at work and of those others which
are to follow in its steps. if we may
trust our English critics, with still
greater freedom of effort and power
and skill. Century.

WILLING TO TAKE ADVICE.

She had star in either eye
And roses in her face,
Who asked my matronly advice
With deferential grace.

But il you were," spake she;

Who hang their hopes on met"
.. You speak Of years." stifay said,
LAS callow damsels do;
Ishouldnt marry any man,
Who hangs his hopes on you"'
Her lids dropped over love-lit eyes,
marked the blushing cheek,
And saw her trembling hands, the while
She begged that would speak.
.. All, surely your observing ways
Have taught you to he wise;
Forgive maiden's laundering words,
Be generous. and adviser
Won by her sweet humility,
could but acQuiesce,
And hope the counsel might avail
To comfort her distress.
:" If must give you my advice.
The words will run like these:
Go you and marry when you like,
And wed with whom you pleasew -
The maiden laughed happy laugh,
Her voice was full Of bliss;
She gave my hand fervent clasp.
And gave my cheek kiss.
90 Be sure I'll do the thing you bid;
For that you bid me do
Is what had determined on

WOMAN'S DEPARTMENT.
THE SONG FOR WORK.

After Hood-A Gensration.
With fingers strong and unworn,
But eyelids heavy and red,
A woman haunts the shops, neatly clads
Begging for needle and thread.

She cries. in voice that hurts,
To the man who viii pay her forty-n censl
II she makes dozen shirtA
"I can work all day" she cried,
When the cock was Growing al0of
"No work all day" she cries,
When the stars shine through the rook
It were better to be q slave
Along with the barbarous Turk,
Than Christian woman. with soul TO save
Who has neither money nor work.
She is strong. and willing to work
Till her brain begins to swim;
She only asks to work
Till her eyes are heavy and dim.

Only too busy to stop
Till her eyes can no longer sec!

Toiling for mothers and wives. ~
These others ask but to work themselves
Through all their dreary lives.
Work-and they can not get that

How gladly would they but sit and work
For the idle and the Rich!
"Therc is plenty Of work, indeed;
But alas when go, they say

HOW The American Eagle is Scoffed
Over in Mufocro

How The American Eagle is scoffed at
Over in Morocco.
WASHINGTON, April 10th-Commander
McCalia, OF the U. S. steamer Enterprise
mas made long report to the Secretary of
the Navy of the difficulty in Morocco. AZ
ter stating the general situation, as already
published, the Commander saws that. while
ne has no desire to pass upon the equity of
Inc protection system involved in the dis
pute, he is OF the opinion that, as the
rights OF the United States are verv clear
unoer the treaties, they should be upheld
so long as the provisions of the treaties are
not modified. While the Moorish officials
should not be held to the strictest account
ability for violation of the conventional
rules adopted by the more highly
NATIONS, 1t is well to understand that the
oriental Character is quick TO take adran-
tage OF the waving OF such rules and TO &C.
cept as right any point which might oc-
casionally be yielded
Consul Lewis has, McCalla saws, in the
interest of corciliation and from The high
est motives, yielded at times when he was
clearly supported by tie existing treaties,
and might with propriety have insisted
upon the rights they accorded. These
same rights, it would appear, very often
have been questioned when the proteges of
any other nation had been under consdera-
tlon. Certain rights of the United States
have been denied us, while the same rights,
unoer the same conventions, have been
freely accorded to other Powers.
lie says the United States Government ia
at a disadvantage on account of the fact
that, while all the other Powers, parties to
the Convention of 1880, are represented bv
Ministers Resident, Congress only provides
for Consul for the United States. The
Commander thinks that if the position
could oe raised to diplomatic one it would
go Tar toward preventing questions which
frequently arise now.

A DAY OF HoRSE-PLAY.
The House has been proceeding under
c,lll ever since an early hour this after
noon. There have been the customary
scenes, and the same horse-play.
Mr.. Leopold Morse was absent when his
name was called, and was arrested by the
Sergeanf-at- Arms. A motion to fine him
$40 was opp sed by Amos Cummings, who
made humorous speech, in which he
asserted that he feared that the Boston mill
ionaire could not afford TO pay the fine.
He was at last excused on rising vote.

These gentlemen declared thew couId

Boutelle insisted that it was not requisite
that member give his consent to q motion
to be excused.
Thereupon Taulbee moved as an amead
ment that Mr., Boutelle himself be excused
from voting, which motion the Speaker
pro tenn. {McMillan of Tennessee) declared
TO be carried.
Cannon of Illinois then moved that he
himself be excused from voting. and fur
ther moved that Bayne OF Pennsylvania be
excused.
This was supplemented by a motion by
Bayne that Reed of Maine be excused from
voting.
Several other Republicans were upon
their feet, but the Speaker pro tenn. refused
D recognize any motion except that of
Cannon to excuse himself, which he de-
ciared to be carried against the protests of
the Republicans.
AT this moment motion came from the
Democratic side that the House adjourn.
and after chorus of yeas from the same
side and shout of nays from the Republi-

House be declared adjourned, rose and
rushed to the front, shouting for the yeas

the services of the Sergeantat-Arm was
called In and order was finally rest pred.
