printing in excess of the government al
lowauce for that purpose. The veto was
read and upon motion Of Mr.. Atkins,
without the courtesy of q reference, the
bill was passed by a practically unani-

about $4,000 Tho house also passed
the joint resolution providing for the in

most unanimous vote. This bill came
down from the council. where it was

A Pleasant Picture of His Home Life ut
the Hermitage.
The ways OF General jackson and
his wife were uniformly those OF pleas
antness and peace" and all the little
folks received the gentlest treatment.
To be sure the General was gruff and
peremptory among men, and Mrs.
jackson smoked a cob-pipe. But what
did it matter to the children, so long
as Mr.. jackson was willing to sit
wedged three in rocking-chair, and
Mrs. jackson would tell them frontier
stories every evening in the afirelightp
Mrs Parton gives the account OF a
traveller who arrived at the Hermitage
one wet, chilly February evening:
II came upon General jackson sit
ting alone before the fire, a lamb and a
child between his knee Seeing me he
called servant to remove the two
innocents to another room, and said
that the child had cried because
the lamb was out in the cold, and
begged him to bring it in which he
had done to please the child"
A member Of the family told ms
lately that there We're possibly fifty
children, white and black, in the
family and about the =neighborhood,
named ANDREW" or Rachel. and to
each OF these the General gave a gift
or remembrance in some way. and
liked them all. He gave away dozens

one hundred and fifty silver half-dol-

speech, saying: The haIf-dollar will
serve the children to cut their teeth
on now, but when they are older tell
them it is the eagle OF their country.

How the Fashionable Woman of Tod
--..-----A HeraIda Her Appenrance.

How the Fashionable Woman of To-day
HeraIds Her Appearance.
The coming of fashionable woman
of to-day is heralded by rafting of
beads which begin at her bonnet, drop
to the frfnges on bodice or wrap, cling
to her sash-ends and draperies, and
glitter on the tips of her natty French
shoes. The elegant and wholly novel
gallopns and gimps used in new mil
linery are richly wrought with bead
ing and brims, corner pieces, and
deep points, pyramids and arches, are
ablaze with these gem-like garniturcs.
Some of the superb Venetian and Ro-
man pieces are actually worth their
weight in gold, pure metal threads
being used in the wondrous embroid-
cry. These trimmings are worked on
foundations as thin as crepe lisse,
which is next in lightness to the air
itself, leaving little to be seen -but-the
sparkling pendants and rows 81 finely
cut beads. In less expensive millinery
adornings, but still more charming, is
a tidal wave of deliciously perfect
French flowers, which have sent far
into the shade the MANNED and abnor-
Fmal=looking birds and bird-wings,
breasts. heads and feathers, these
dull, stiff effigies being voted passed

bonnets in princesse and capote
shapes, and the picturesque shepherd
ess hats wreathed with rare-tinted
rose garlands and foliage, look as IL
they had been imported direct from
Arcadia.
The number and variety of small
wraps that have been invented is truly
wonderful. All sorts of small visites,
pelerines, and shoulder capes are made
with silk and black lace. One model
shows a close plain corsage made OF
black Chantilly net, very long in the
waist and belted, with sleeves of the
same pattern. but made OF flowing lace
just deep enough to reach to the
elbows. In front the bodice turns
back in wide lace revers over belted
shirt-front of the silk net, but beyond
the belt the fullness forms two scarfs
that fall below the knees on the dress
skirt There are. a host OF French
wraps made of very costly black nets
and laces that are overburdened with
bands, pendants, shoulder pieces and
panel ornaments of real cut jet. Ac-
contemplated pelerines for slender

beaded in gold, steel or Jet. In place
of lace, in combination with the rib

Hot Springs was small pumpkins
when Diamond Joe paid his first visit
to the place. He had made lot of
money in wheat, land, having worked
hard jim the meantime, found his
health not what it should be. A
friend told him there was some won

there, saw the springs, bathed in the
water, was made well, and concluded
day Hot Springs would be q
popular health resort. He concluded
TO tap the Iron Mountain Railroad
with narrowsgauge / road, for
prior to 1872 people who wanted
to reach Hot Springs were compelled,
after they disembarked from trains
on the Iron Mountain road, to reach
Hot Springs by stage coach, and neith-
er the coach nor the road over which
it travelled was in the best condition.
Diamond Joe obtained a charter from
the Legislature of Arkansas which per-
mitted him to charge each passenger
on his road at the rate of ten cents per
mile until the road was brought within
the limits of Hot Springs. Diamond
Joe confined to charge ten cents per
mile until a couple Of years ago, as
the terminus of his road was Just out
side the limits Of Hot Springs.
! A couple of years ago the Legisla-
ture, egged on by philanthropists who
felt certain that Diamond Joe was
making too much money, compelled
Mr.. Reynolds to carry his road into
Hot Springs and to reduce his rate to
five cents per mile. Being a man who
is open to reason, when it is backed
with sufficient authority, he obeyed
the order. He has not lost money by
the change, forthe=erowd- that visits

A still more ludicrous instance of de-

he hung it on the branch OF tree

To his unutterable surprise, the tree
turned somersault, and, shrieking
with laughter, went off with the

such a manner that. aided by his
spears which did duty for the small
boughs, he had completely meta
