WEBsTsR's LAST RoTkBLE SPEECH,

Speaking of Daniel Webster re-
minds the Washington correspond
ent of the Philadelphia "Record"
that he had seen floating around in
the newspapers an absurd para
graph purporting to give Webster's
last notable speech, the few re-
marks lie delivered from the balcony
of his'house on Louisiana avenue,
now the Webster Law Building, the
night after Scott was nominated for
President at Baltimore. According
to the paragraph which the cores
pondent refutes that godlike Daniel
said: boys, / am very much OBJ
iged to you; but Pm hard hit, and
I'm going home to die" 81 can.

agne any burlesque that could be
more grotesque than this appa-
rently serious report. Fortunately
have the means Of correcting it.
1t was a beautiful starit night in
May. The Wings of Washington,
who had screnaded and congratulate
ed Scott had made them little
speech, to Webster's house toward
midnight to see what the Massachu-
setts statesman would say. They
took their music with them, and
when they got down 10 Webster S
they gave him n serenade, too. Pre-
sently Webster appeared on the bal
cony above them, wrapped in his
dressiDg-gown, the mere shadow of
his former self, worn in body and
broken in spirit by disease and dis
appointment. His voice, though no
longer eloquent nor even powerful,
had not lost its art, and what he
said was in its,lf intensely interest
ing. So he held his audience in alb
solute attention from the first to the
last word of what every one felt to
be his valedictory. He said:
"'I thank you, fellow-citiZens,
for your friendly and respectful
call. j am very glad TO see you.
Some of you have been engaged in
an arduous public duty at Balti-
more, the object of your meeting
being the selection of fit person
to be supported for the office Of
President of the United States.
Others of you take an interest in the
result of the deliberations of that
assembly of Wings. 1t so happened
that my name among others was pre-
sented on that occasion. Another
candidate, however, was preferred.

Twenty-Five dollars for quarter of q

aghast with surprise.
Yes, and that is very good rate for
an unknown writer like yourself. We
pay all the way from 800 to $1,000 q
mile for the work of the most noted
writers, and have paid a famous poet
at the rate of SAC, 900 a mile for a great
poem which he wrote at my order. This
is an exceptionally high price, though.
How much would mile make of my
manuscript?
| should say about 10000 words.
You don't meBn to say that 10000 OF
my words if strung in a row would
make a mile?
Most assuredly not. But in writing
10000 words your pen moves over a
mile of space. With some writers a
mile is only composed of 5000 words,
and there are some microscope writer
who crowd 10000 words into a mile,

CLIPPED LOCKS NO LONGER POPU.
LAR, FOR GOOD REASONS.

The short hair craze has sort of run
out, said a Washington lady barber.
Some Of the hair has got discouraged
through being cut so often and never
gwen a chance to grow. so that now it
won't. That is the trouble with lots Of
heads could mention. 1t doesn't do
for a young lady to cut off her hair short
too late in life. That's why there are a
great many wigs being worn this season.
You saw all those ladies with short hair
last summer You don't see them now
Sometimes hair grows out very well af-
ter it has been cut short. Sometimes it
doesn't. We have sold quite a number
of wigs on account of this change of
fashion. There were some pretty suits
of hair spoiled by that short h'ir cut.
Some refuses eyer to grow long again,
some grows out stiff and straight, some
loses all its natural color. Soft blonde
hair came out sitter and darker. Some
did not suffer from the fashion, but
many did. Young ladies who had soft.
curly hair of rich natural color were
struck with the short hair craze. And
now-well, they are awfully sorry. All
the curl is gone. The softness is gone,
too, aud so has the rich color. The most
common result has been the entire loss
of the natural tendency to curl. Con-
slant cutting has made the hair straight.
Sometimes they have their own natural
HAIR that was cut off made over into
wigs. - MINI. Journal.

THE TASK BEFORE THE THIRD PARTY.

In the first blace, il assumes two al
most impossible preliminary tasks. The
overthrow of the saloon is itself almost
an impossible task. Sober men cannot
contemplate it in all the fullness of its
power without a sudden ebbing of cour
age, certain fearful foreboding. The
saloon is everywhere. and everywhere
it is curse. 1t has more bars than God
has affairs; more priests than God has
preachers, and almost as many schools
of infamy as the public has schools of
learning. Its vast army of patrons are
loyal TO its interest and thousands of
them hold no virtue too dear to sacrifice
in its behalf. Consider, also, the enor-
nous capital it commands; its vast vol
ume of business amounting to 5000, 900
600 yearly; its enormous profits: the
wide range of its manufacturing inter
ests-consider, l say. its character, its
uumbers, Its resources, it's power of self
propagation, and its mold upon humani-
ty and it must appall the stoutest heart
ed and chill the blood of the most san
guine.
But, gentlemen of the Prohibition
party, you have not hesitated to plan
for yourselves additional or preliminary
tasks which, to everybody but you, must
seem hopeless-I mean the destruction
practically of the two old parties. You
cannot grapple with the saloon until
you have political power; you cannot
have political power until you wrest il
from the old parties. To be the first,
instead OF the third party, you must
practically destroy the Republican party
in the North and the Democratic party
of the South. TApplause.l Let me re.
mind you that old established parties
like the Democratic aud Republican are
not often or easily killed. You all re-
member at the close of our Civil War
the feeling was quite general that the
Democratic party had reached the end
OF its history. 1t had e poused the cause
of slavery; it had waged a bitter and
bloody war against the Union and the
Constitution; and when the Rebellion
was put down, men said that the Demo.
cratic party fell with the ConfPderacy,
and that its name and organization and
principles must never be Tesurrected.
That was less than twenty five years
ago. Where is that party toiay-lost

on the east side race track, between
W. w. Carney's mare, 'Lotta," and
"Kansas Queen" owned by Moses
Fletcher, Of Ellinwooc. John Lee
drove "Lotta" and "Lute" Aber drove
the "Queen." The race was for 500
q side, best three in five heats, accord
ing TO American association rules, ex-
cept no time was to be given. D.
McCord, Thomas Ross and John
Croker were the Judges. The horses
were called up and the taps for posi-
ton won for ''Lotta." The first score
was a starter, both horses leaving the
wire with their noses even, but as they
neared the first turn "Lotta" went off
her feet and "Queen" passed and took
the pole and lead throughout the heat.
Three straight heats were won by
kansas Queen" but it was close and
pretty race, and one of the fairest
driven we have ever witnessed. There
was very little betting outside of the
stake money.
