like, and it appears to me the most use
less way OF spending one s time that can
be mentioned. There is only choice
between it and the idea OF witty friend
who found certain famous hot springs so
dreary that he wIote he had decided TO
have some teeth pulled to pass away the
time. The way some women go through
life, taking to bed every third week with
a season of sick headache is one of the
mysteries of nature, and it makes things
so pleasant for their families. One
would prefer to go through the
1nateria medica rather than provide
such entertainment for ones
friends. At the first languid warn
ing of such ''spell' vigorous
action should be taken with warm lom-
ade, dose of salts in hot water ana hot

aided by q hot bath with hot water and

follow is made from extract of butter
nut, 80 grains; powdered jalap, 20 grains;
CASTLE soap, 10 grains. Make fifteen
pills of this and take three or four as

purgatives known, and was much used

Treat the moth patches by rubbing at
night with elderfiower ointment which
has twenty grains sulphate of zinc added

touch the healthy skin. In the morning
wash it off with CASTLE soap and warm
water, and battle the spot six times a
day with the juice of large lemon in
half teacup of soft water boiled. There
are lotions to prevent the return of the
discolorations which are commended by
the faculty, but il is really cruel to de-

ALL FOR YOU.

The love in my heart is strong as the hills
And as deep as the fathonlless sea,
Yet pure as the breath of the rose that thrills
The soul of summer with glee,
'Tis faithful fair as the light of the stars
That beams in the boundless blue;
No selfish mote its radiance mars,
And, Sweetheart, it's all for you.
All for you!
Strong and true,
No time the tie can sever,
Till the angels doubt,
And the stars burn out,
am yours, Sweetheart, forever.
The love in my heart, know not why
Nor how it came to be,
But the bliss that is mine no gold can buy,
Since love hath come to me.
o, love, love- love! There's nothing so sweet
Go search the wide world through.
My heart is so full of it, every beat
Cries out it is all for you.
All for you!
Strong and true,
No time the tie can sever,
Till the angels doubt
And the stars burn out,
1 am yours, Sweetheart, forever

PERSISTENT.

A little picture haunts me;
It comes, and comes again;
It is tiny birds nest,
All ragged from the rain.
It clings within a birch tree,
Upon the moorland's edge;
Betvreen the barren branches,
Above the swaying sedge.
The sky is gray behind it,
And when the north winds blow
The birch tree bends and shlvers,
And losses to and fro
I wonder, does it haunt them,
The birds that flew away?
And viii they come to seek 1t,
Some sunny summer day?
wonder does some redbreast
Upon an orange bough,
Still picture it as plainly
As can view it nowF
An me! I would forget it,
But still, with sense of pain,
l see this little birds nest
Within the driving rain.
Il Exchange.

NEW YORK AM THE CABINET.
Tho Democratic Talk of Dissension Re-
calls Memories of Chicago.

From the ". Y. GfdDiiC.
Our Democratic and mugwump con
temporaries seem to be greatly worried
over the dssensions they have dis.
covered in the Republican ranks in this
State and they predict all sorts of dire
full calamities to the party if General Har-
rison invites this one and that one to Il
place in his Cabinet In fact, if our
friends the enemy are to be belived, the
break that is to shattcr the New York
column will also extend through Ohio,
Pennsylvania and half a dozen other
States upon which the Republicans
depend for success.
What nonsense all this isl
So far rs New York is concerned, there
is not the slightest reason to fear that any
Republican will dispute General Harri-
sons right to select his own advisers or
question his decision when made The
Empire State seeks representation around
the new council table, and two candi-
dates are in the field-Wamer Miller and
Thomas G. Plat. Both are eminently
fitted; both can read their title clear to
sterling Republicanism and unquestioned
party featy, and both have the conf
dence and the friendship of all Republi-
must,bc disappointed.
There are many reasons why this buga-
boo in the Democratic press about "dis
senslons" should be cleared away at
once. II should have no part in weighing
the reasons that arc to govern the selec-
ton of this States representative in the
Cabinet, Those who attended the Chi
cago Convention will remember how the
timid and weak-minded were deludod
into the belief that Indiana ought to be
passed by because it presented two candi-
dates whose differences could not be
reconciled. Gresham's s Hoosler friends,
we were assured, would knife" Har-
rison at the polls, and Harrison's friends
there would "knIe' Gresham If the lat
ter were nominated. When the Empire
State brushed aside this bugaboo and cast
its seventy-two votes for benjamin Har'
rison it disappeared completely, and hns
not been heard from since. He carried
his State.
1t is Just such an insane and unfound-
ed delusion which the opposition is try
ing to spread among the Republicans of
this State about the rivalry between our
two ex-Senators. II would be cowardly
for Republicans to desert either of them
because of fear Of the other in his disap-
pointment Those who know the men
need not be assured that they are not
built that way Both realize that there
are two candidates for one place, and
both are willing to accept the ultimatum
from indianapolis.
The Republicans of this State should
throw aside this Mugwump twaddle and
Democratic buster ABOUT a break up in
the ranks. There is none and there will
| be none

A Place for Alabama.

TFV71 VItt 4II1VTIIW VVI7T TIIII'
Judge Samuel f. Rice, of Montgomery, is
named by Senator Pugh as the ablest and most
fitting Alabama Republican for place in
President HaTlsons Cabinet. Judge Rice is
one Of the shrewdest and ablest lawyers Of the
South, aud no political ties ever held him
very closely. When a young lawyer, residing
in Talladega at the time, he astonished the
Supreme Court of Alabama, while answer
ing the argument of an opposing counsel
by the repeated remark: "'rhis court can't
be hornswoggled in that way" Finally the
Chief-Justice quietly remarked to him, "Mr.
Rice, this Court don't comprehend the mean
ing of that word hornswoggle," and Rice ex-
planned 1t, us used in the mountain region of
North Alabama, as much to the amusement as
to the editlcation OF the learned court. Judge
Rice has tince that time been on the Supreme
Court beIth of Alabama, and filed the posi-
ton with marked ability.

The many friends of Samuel Sunset Cox
are astonished at the devotional habits that
gentleman is getting into lately, lie not only
comes regularly To the opening OF the House
OF Representatives, 50 as TO get the benefit of
the prayer Of the chaplain, but no attends
church regularly with Mrs. Cox, who formerly
went alone. His friends are ut a loss TO ex-
plain this important change In the humorst's 5
habits Of life but are inclined TO attribute it to
the influence Of the Sultan of Turkey. with
whom, as is well know, Mr.. Cox was for
some years on the most intimate terms.
The gentleman from New York has chosen
for his place OF worship the Church OF the
Covenant a new and fashionable church re-
Gently built near his house, and he usually oc-
cupies the pew OF Senator Hale, who is not
very regular IN his attendance, but contrib
utes literally TO the support of the pastor.
Immediately IN front OF Mr., Cox, are John
Hay aud his family, and just ahead Of them
can be seen regularly each Sunday, the ven
cradle father-in-gw Of the President-elect
and Mrs. Harrison's two sisters Behind
Mr. Cox, Representative Breckenridge and his

WASHINGTON, JANUARY .. 1889.

GENERAL AeNus of the Baltimore
american, which by the way is valuable
journal with II growing circulation and
liberal reduction to clubs, invariably in
advance, has firmly but respectfully de.
cined to be considered as possibility in
the Harrison Cabinet. He thinks the
editorship of great journal like the
american, which is the leading repre-
sentative of enterprise in the South
is superior to any subordinate political
Office, and as he holds the former he
does sot care to give it up for the latter
He is quite right, too, and you will OBJ
serve by his careful wording that he is
willing for the bright lightning to strike
him in 1892. At least it would appear
that any man who called Cabinet posi-
tion subordinate political office" could
only have one aspiration. We suggest
for 1892 General Felix Agnus for Presi-
dent, and modesty forbids us naming the
man for the second place, Hurrah for
the ticket, anyhowl The pen is mighticr
than the bayonet at the polls.

COLONEL DUDLEY'S LADY DEFENDER.
She Says She Can Never Cease to BE
Grateful to Him.


Grateful TO Him.
Colonel Dudley has at least one very
warm friend and defender in the city of
Washington, and it is lady, too, the
widow of naval officer who died here
several years ago. She says that she
supposes that Colonel Dudley has for
gotten her, but she can never forget him
nor.cease to be grateful for a service
he rendered her once 1t so happened
that when she was coming to Washing
ton from the West the sleeping-car
caught fire in the night and there was
panic among the passengers, who were
awakened from their slumbers by the
porter She had her baby with her in
the berth, and was the only woman in
the car.
Hastily putting on some of her cloth
ing and wrapping a blanket around her
child, she managed to get into the aisle,
which was filled with smoke, and en-
deavored to make her way toward the
door. The aisle was filled with bags and
bedclothing which had been thrown out
of the berths, and she was twice thrown
down by frantic men who rushed
by her. Finally she was iammed into a
corner Of the car by two great fellows
who seemed only anxious to get out, re-
gardless of her or her child The cries
of the little one attracted the attention
of one of the passengers who was ahead
Of her in the crush, and he called to the
men between them to help that woman
out"
They took no notice whatever of his
appeals, although they were several
times repeated, Then seeing that moral
suasion was useless he tried force, and,
seizing rough fellow who was doing
most of the crowding, he threw
him over into n berth, and taking the
baby in his arms forced back the rest of
the men and led this lady upon the plat
form, where she was safe from the flames
and was the first to leave the car. Then,
asking the number of her berth, he
crept back into the car through the
smoke and brought out her clothing and
that of the child Just in time to save il
from the flames This brave rescuer,
the lady says, was Colonel Dudley, as
she afterward discovered, and, although
he has only one leg, he did some pretty
good work that night. She is willing to
do almost anything for Colonel Dudley
| now.

The Commissioners have put into
themselves nice new backbone for
1850, and they are not renewing liquor
licenses any more than they were. The
simple little subterfuge, adopted by some
violators, of selling out to an innocent
party, is not particularly successful,
when the business is to be continued at
the old stand, The point made by one
dealer. that the Commissioners did not
grant him o license until nearly the
close of the year, and, that in conse-
quence, the violations charged against
him having occurred before the license
was granted, the final granting of the
license condoned the offense. was well
taken, and will be in the nature Of an
exemplitication of the adage, delays are
dangerous.

SOME OF our re aders, who have had oc
casion to complain of the cut in tho Four
tecnth street pavement, along the line
of the newly-laid water pipe, and have
wondered why it was left so wagons
could stall in it, must possess their souls
in patience. The pipe was put down SO
late in the season that the cut in the pave
ment cannot be filled in with concrete
until the weather is such that a solid
foundation can be secured. A pavement
put in there now would swag down in the
centre like warped plank and be more
unsightly than the present clay surface,

Annie" it will be made good.
