A Popular and ensible Woman.

n Opo]dA aAA0 C44blOlo -" Oal6us
1t was hardly to be expected tnat Mrs
Harrison, as mistress of the white house,
would be as popular as Mrs. Clevela d was,
for Mrs. Cleveland's popularity among all
classes of people was phenomenal. Mrs.
Harrison, however, has created an exceed
insly favorable impression thus far, and
willie there is not great deal said concern
ing her in the newspapers, she has gained
the respect and admiration of all who come
in contact with her.
Mrs. Harrison is a very sensible woman
and SIC has proved herself to be worthy of
position she accupies. She may not
please the ultra society people, and it is,
perhaps, not desirable that she should in all
things. On several occasions she has de-
clined to conform to their rules of conduct,
and to follow their DEGREES of fashion. At
the inau uration ball she made known in
t 10 most effective way possible her disap-
proval of the decollete coStu ne-by refus-
ing TO wear one. Since then she has several
times shocked the ultra fashio labes Y
d ling things which were sensible, but which
were not considered in good rm by them.
1t is said that she has per isted III ding her
own marketing several times; that she
has on one or two occasions
gone in person to consult the family
physician, instead of ordering him to come
to her; ami that sae has even been see re-
turning to the white house with package
of merchandise in her hand Il short, she
conducts herself il manner dictated by
commo sense and attends to her business
in the most convenient and transformations
way Her example is good one, and it is
TO be hoped that she will continue to give
the country the benefit of it.

Comfort and Beauty in Churches


A North Georgia weekly, spe liking of one
of the churches of the town in W lich it is
published, said that the walls were dingy
and smutty, the carpets ragged and
dirty, and the pews back -breakl &.
And yet the congregation that wors lipei
there was large and was we'll able to make
the neces airy repairs and improveme
The pastor of the lurch felt that 1t was
incumbent upon him to take notice of the
spaper art Gle, and in a communication
in reply to it, he urged his people to make
the church a more suitable plac3 of worship.
He could not console ltiously deny that the
statements concerning it were in the IN lin
true, though perhaps exaggerated. He said
such a church injured the pastor AID the
congregation. Not only that, but it in
jured the town. 1t was reproacl upon
all who in any way were connected with or
interested in it. He was right, of course.
The town is rapidly gro ing le, and OF
la years has made considerable industrial
progress. lis churches ought to reflect its
pirit of enterprise
There is another view of the question,
howe er. TIE practical enters largely into
the influences that make the work of a
preacher successful or unsuccessful. In
order that his work may bear fru It he must
have large audiences, composed not only Of
Lis church members, but also of others. and
il order to have large audiences his church
must be comfortable and attractive The
pews should be- constructed for comfort
and there should be ventila ion in summer
and warnt IN winter. The interior should
be pleasing to the eye. Many church mem

TRENTON, March 14-The absence of
Messrs. Bigelow and McDcrmitt, two
jealous Democrats, prevented any politi-
cal measures from coming up in the
house. The federation of trades bill,
providing for the appointment by the
governor of an examining engineer in
each congressional district to examine all
stationary engines, was killed in short
order by the house. Mr.. Farrell, who
introduced the bill. said it was in the in
terest of life and limb and would be a
great advantage TO the engineers OF the
state. Mr.. Voorhees, opposed the bin ON
the ground that it was not needed and 1t
only provided seven fat berths for some
enterprising politicians.
The senate passed the bill for the APP
pointment of two detectives by the prose
cutor in counties with a population ex-
ceeding $4,000 persons. This will take

Finley. conceding his election by 1859

contest was begun before legislative
committee in January last, at the Con-
tinental hotel, Mr.. Finley claiming that a
total of 72l fraudulent votes were cast for
the Democratic candidate. He took two
divisions in the First ward, in which he
charged that $40 persons voted without
having paid state or county tax within
the time specified by law. The other
irregularities alleged were eighty-six
votes of persons not residing in the dis
trict, ninety votes of persons not on the
assessors lists, and the changing of 100
Republican votes cast for Finley to votes
cast for Nichols.

FALL RIVER. Mass, March 14.-Less
than 500 looms are running at eleven
mills. Twenty-three weave rooms were
entirely closed. OF the 500 looms few
are run by weavers. Loom fixers con-
tinue "a bc discharged for refusing to
run looms. The ranks of the strikers
grow larger. The King Philip, Granite
and American linen mills have shut
down. Others are expected to close to-
day. The shut down is practically COM
plete. The board of arbitration can do
nothing unless solicited by both sides to
act. They have advised return to
work pending settlement, but the weav-
ers decline this proposal unless some cor
responding concession is made by the
mills. They are, however, willing to APP
point committee to meet a manufac-
turers' committee in presence of the ar
bitrators with view to settlement, The
arbitrators will try to have this plan
acted on tomorrow.
If the manufacturers consent to
meeting it will in itself be victory for
the weavers, who for year past have
sought such conference only to meet
with fiat refusal from the manufac-
turers. If the latter yield to the request
now it will probably be owing to the un-
expected strength of the strikers. The
weavers themselves. rs well as the manu-
facturers, are surprised at the complete
success of the movement. All is quiet
and orderly. The print cloth market is
