Beauty that don't make a woman vain
makes her very beautiful.


Dear Bell 1. I'll write you a short letter
To say I'm wonderfully better;
How much that means you ought to know,
Who saw me Just one month ngo-
Thin, nervous, fretful, white as chalk.
Almost too weak to breathe or talk;
Head throbbing, as if f1t for breaking,
A weary, ever present aching.
But now life seems a different thing:
| feel as glad as bird on wiDgl
| say, and fear no contradiction,
That Pierce's Favorite Prescription
Is grand Why. I'd have died without it!
Ma thinks there's no mistake about it
It's driven all my ills away;
Just come and seel Yours ever, MAY.

The Century people started him of to ex-
plore the country in their interest. and what
he expected to do was to prove that the exile
system was not as terrible as il had been
described Knowing that he held views
favorable to them, the Russian Government
gave him every facility for q thorough ex-
animation Of all the prisons and mines Of
Siberia. The Minister OF the Interior fur
nished him with a circular letter which ad-
mitted him everywhere, allowing him to
travel with exile parties and to make the
acquaintance Of hundreds Of liberals"
As Mr.. KEENAN, relates in his preface in

THE CENTENNIAL - wAsHINGTON
AND NEW YORK.

The memorial recently submitted
TO Mr., Cleveland by the New York
Committee on the Centennial Cele-
bration of the Inauguration of George
Washington, requests the President
10 draw the attention of Congress
TO the subject" but il will be OBJ
served that the memorialists embrace
in the Subject" both the Inaugural
ton of Washington and the "Centen-
nial of the Organization of the Con
stitutional Government of the United
States.' They attach to the proposed
celebration "the broad characteristic
of nationality in which the States and
Territories should fully join"
1t has hitherto been understood that
the commemorative observances in
New York were to be rather of local
than national character, but it would
appear from this memorial that the
committee have programme in view
which involves the cooperation of the
General Government; sit is to be a
celebration in which the Nation and
the States should assist in unison with
the people of New York"
So long, however, as the contem-
plated ceremonies are confined to
one day only-the 30th of April-and
limited to a grand industrial parade,
a naval and military display, an ora
tion and poem and a banquet at night,
il will not in anywise interfere with
the arrangements already in progress
for an international gathering at
Washington; nor can we see any OBJ
iections to the participation of the
General Government in the New
York celebration or to an appropria-
tion therefor, if any be necessary,
The two occasions should not be
permitted to come in conflict or preiu-
dice one another; and we trust that
President Cleveland in communicate
ing his views to Congress relative to
the matter will take the broad ground
that the two celebrations are not at
all incompatible and should be re-
-Iarded as virtually one, the COM
memorative exercises at the National
- Capital to be supplemented or con-
cruded by those in New York, in
which not only the General Govern
ment, but the States and Territories
and the distinguished foreign guests
of the Government may properly take
part.
AT the same time chief prominence
is TO be given to the celebration in
Washington which will possess a char.
acter and appropriateness peculiarly
its own, and which it would be i'm.
possible to associate with any place
other than the seat of Government
IT is here that the representatives Of
all the American Republics will nat
urally assemble to witness the work
ings of the great Constitutional sys
TEN upon which their own civil anC
religious liberties are founded, and ot
which no adequate idea is to be
formed elsewhere. 1t is here thai
they will be brought into direct con
tact with the President of the United
States and his Cabinet, the heads o
Departments, the Federal Judiciary
and the legislative machinery of thu
Government; and it will be the duty
of Congress to give them fitting re
ception and make the occasion worthy
Of this great people.
This being done, an adjournmen
may be taken with propriety to the
historic locality and hallowed ston,
where the first President took his oatf
