LADIES WHO SMOKE

Nothing changes more than the out
side laws and formulas of politeness,"
remarked we'll known society man the
other day to New York Star reporter
"Within the memory of any sexagenarian
the whole code has been altered.
Where fifty years ago, 'to take wine with
you and bow across the tables was as
much sn expected attention, al obiiga-
tory act of courtesy, as to salute you on
entering the room, the man who should
do this, save at sdpremely intimate and
half jocuiar gathering would be as much
out of it, as if he were to lay his hand
on his heart, bow as low as his knees, and
assure madam his fair friend that he
was hers from his eyebrows to his finger
tips. Fifty years ago no gentleman
could have smoked in the presence of
ladies. The unmarried girl or young
wife of certain social status met walk.
ing with man putting cigar would have
gone home with few shades less of
character than she ht d set out with.
"But who has word to say now? Now
we have the cigars and cigarettes, in with
the coffee Immediately after dinner, and
no one is offended. The men are not
considered too free, the women do not
hold themselves cavalierly treated when
the dainty little appliances for lighting,
ash and cutting 60 the round of the table
and the fragrant 'batons' are lovingly,
handled and regarded. Often, indeed
one of these ladies will indeed join the
men, and if q few prim old souls think
the exhibition shocking, the younger ao
cept it as q matter of taste, and either
decide or determine TO try, according to
their individual Hking-with no moral
afterthought whatever"
GA this special question of smoking in
the presence of ladies opinions differ.
Those who like it and those who dislike
it must settle the matter between them.
It is one of those movable and temporary
items which depend wholly on acceptance.
In Spain, the East and South Ameria,
ladies smoke with the men. There are
reasons for and reasons against the prac-
tice, but, as we said, they must be dis
counted, each woman for herself, and
those who will may and those who do not
wish are not obliged, but the one does
not lose the finer part of her character
and the other is not guilty of unjust
prudery unless she confounds the prao-
tice with the person, and because she
dislikes the former condemns the latter.

A Bishops Remarkable Words.
New Work Sun

At the conference of episcopaiian
clergynnen and laymen that has been held
in this city during the past two days a
letter was read from Bishop Huntington
in which he gave warning against the
dangers of the times. Here is passage
from it: 'Tntense political and CONNER
cial forces are ready 10 push their way
into the church, to magnify its material
aspect in the wealth, official pageantry,
and corporate power of the world with
hierarchical and other high distinctions
of the kingdom of God" These are re,
markable words of the distinguished
bishop of the episcopal faith, and they
will doubtless be pondered by his breth-
rem, TO whom they are addressed.

The Southern Expositions.

The committee that was appointed by
the Sout ern Interstate immigration Con
ventIon which met sometime ago in Mont
gomery, Ala, 70 select two or three north
ern cities in which TO hold expositions for
the display of products Of the South, has
not yet made report Its agents DOUBT
less are making a thorough canvass OF the
advan- ages offered by the different cities.
Several Of the newspapers of New York
are Of the opinion that that city is an ad-
mirable location for one Of the expositions.
They point out that the greater portion of
the immigrants who come to this country
land in that city, and very many of them
do not finally decide upon place in which
to settle until after they arrive there. They
also point out that there is more capital
there than elsewhere awaiting opportunities
for profitable Investment.
There is no doubt that New York is a
good location for one Of the expositions, and
the probability is that it will be selected for
one Of them. Even if only few of the
most desirable immigrants should visit an
exposition there the New York press would
devote great deal of attention to the en-
Vtl Ia ioc, anu III L4dI W a llo oOubI WOUlO
be extensively advertised. Thousands of
people in all parts of the country would
thus ba reached who would never see the
exposition, wherever its location might be.
New York is the great money enter of
the country, and the south is in about as
much need of capital as immigrants. Mill
ions Of dollars of northern capital have
already been proftably invested in the
south, and other millions would soon be if
the south's resources were properly placed
before those who have money to invest
While very large proportion of the i'm
migrants which land at New York is not of
the kind that the south particularly desires,
nevertheless there is a percentage of them
that would find hearty welcome in the
south and help to make her unoccupied
lands productive. The immigrants the
south is especially seeking are those to be
found in the eastern and western states.
but she will gladly receive European immi-
grants who are intelligent and thrifty, and
who desire to make homes for themselves in
this country.

Elaine ana the South.

A Washington special states that Mr..
Blaine has been talking quite freely with
Col Julian Allen, of Statesville, ~ c.,
relative to his acceptance of the position of
Secretary of State in Gen. Harrison's cabi-
net, and his intentions with respect to the
south From Col. Aliens statement 1t APP
pears that Gen. Harrison offered Mr..
Blaine the chief place in his cabinet a few
days after the election, and the offer was
promptly accepted.
With respect to the south, Mr. Blaine is
reported to have said that he intended to do
his utmost to make Gen. Harrison's admin
isJration a satisfactory one to the south.
He express ed the opinion that the south
would have to work out the race problem
for herself, but that so fa.' as it was in his
power he intended to promote the south's
development and prosperity. Conservative
republicans he said, would be selected to
fill the federal offices in the south-republi-
cans who would not be Objectionable to the
white people. and whose influence would be
against any effort to stir up race troubles.
In conclusion, he said that he intended to
prove himself to be as good friend as the
south ever had.
These sentiments will hardly be accepted
as Mr. Blaines unless Col Allen comes for
ward and admits that he has been correctly
reported Mr.. Blaines way of proving
that he is a friend Of the south may not be
one that will commend itself to the south
ern people. While they may hope that he
will prove himself to be a statesman, in
stead of a mere partisan, they will decide
from his acts rather than his words whether
or not he is friend to the south.

An Asylum for Liars.
From the Washington critic.

Last week, at dinner party given by a very
popular gentleman OF this city, who is exceed
ingly fond OF field sports. and whose astonish-
ing success with the breech loader is a matter of
wonder to his friends, one of the guests told the
following story:
Il was up in Maine not long since, and having
my attention called to a handsome building il
the suburbs of the town where had to remain
a few days. friend informed me that il was an
asylum for liars, and that the superintendent
was an obliging gentleman, who would be glad
to inform me of the plan upon which the insti-
tuition was conducted
81 called at once. and was politely shown
through In one OF the wards where there were
half a dozen respectable looking gentlemen. all
reading newspapers my attention was attracted
nv conversation which arose between two Of
them.
- i see, said one dropping his paper, that
there has been good fish season in the upper
Kennebec, and that reminds me of the forty
pound trout l caught there last spring
Oh, no, you are mistaken; it could not have
weighed forty pounds remarked another, who
only looked up from his journal
Il reckon know what I'm saying, returned
the first. I had an awful time with that fish
broke fine split bamboo rod andnearIy ruined
a Kentucky reel, but finally landed him and /
saw him weighed. He pulled down exactly
forty pounds.
know you are, because nearly FIVE years ago the
legislature OF laine passed law requiring holes
TO be bored in the upper Kennebec so that all
tsn under nifty pounds should drop through
and Tor the last Tour years ut least it has been
impossible for forty pound fish to remain there
That's not 30 said the first, because II tue
holes werethere the water would all run out
"'Ah,' rstorted the second, but the same legis.
lature passed law that the water should not
go through the holes
This seemed to satisfy the first speaker for
he gave up the subject and resumed bis reading
When ne left the ward the superinten lent

OF our msthod Of treatment The man
who claimed to have caught the forty.
pound trout is patient, an amateur liar,
and the other one Is an attendant n reg
ular professional liar. The professional always
gets away with the amateur until finally the
amateur grows tired OF being beaten and gives
up. We then discharge him as practically
cured
Il thanked the superintendent for his kind

that II q iirstclass professional hunting liar. a
Truly picturesque shotgun liar, would be oftlse

Homes for Ex-confederates.

Gen. Sherman wrote letter a few days
ago to Mai. Joseph II. Stewart, Of Texas
who is in New York trying to raise money
/ to enlarge the exc moderate home at Aus
] tin. lex. in which he expressed sympathy
with Maj Stewards u dertaking. In a
ulseQuent conversation he said that the
federal laws should be so changed as to
admit ex-confederates to the soldiers homes
in all parts of tho country, and that the
word union, so far as it relates TO these
homes. should be obliterated from the
a.uJes
1t is not pro- able that Gen. Sherman's
suggestion would meet with approval in
congress certainly not in a republican
congress. There are no doubt plenty of
r. publican congressman who would vote to
open the soldiers homes to ex-confederate
veterans if they were not afraid that such
action would be unpopular with their con-
stitGents.
ut the ex-confederate veterans are not
asking for entrance into the soldiers
homes. If Offered shelter in them. they
could hardly take advantage Of the offer,
because the homes are located too far away
from JUS0, ana III u Climate LOO rigorous.
1t would be generous act on the part Of
the government, however, to assist in estab-
fishing and supporting homes for ex-con-
federates The south helps to pay the pen
sious Of the 'ex-union veterans, and why
should not the north help make comfortable
the few ex-confederate veterans who are
in need Of sheteri The government could
d. nothing that would be more highly ap-
preciated by the south than to help erect a
few such homes as that which Maj Stewart
is trying to enlarge and maintain at Austin.
The southern states are doing what they
can for their veterans Of tile civil war who
cannot maintain themselves, but they have
30 many other burdens that they cahnot do
a great deal One of these burdens is the
education Of the colored people, but as the
states grow richer they will do moro for
their veterans. In the meantime an sppro-
priation for homes for ex-confederstes
would be worth more to the whole country
than the speeches at the reunions Of those
who wore the blue and the gray, although
the reunions are not without their benefits.

The public expense Of an election in Bos-
ton has been about $4,000. Under the OPP
GRAFTON Of the new election law, which was
modelled after She Australian system, the
expense at the next election will not be far
from 500, 900. The increased expense will
grow out OF the necessity of fitting up the
polling places, of providing additional in
spsctors and deputy inspectors, and OF
printing and distributing tickets. Consid-
ering that the new system is 50 complicated

Tim Tells This on Himself
From the Nep York Tribllne.


There is one story on Tim Campbell which
he himself relates, and which has not yet seen
the light of day; story the point Of which
Tim has probably rot seen himself yet, for
he tells it in Ia innocent way, which OF course
adds much to its flavor.
Mr.. Campbell has strong appreciation of his
dignity. II does not oppress-iu sustans and
conf forts him. Not long ago he was walking
through the corridors of the House wing of the
capitol when woman spoke to him and said:
"Will you see if Mr.. Glover is in the House -
MIR. Campbell drew himself up to his full
hight.
Madame said he, there are gntlemen
around here to do that thing" and he empha-
sized his remark with a sweeping gesture which
included in its scope the entire force of House
employees from the clerk to the doorkeepers
The little woman looked up into Mr.. Camp
bells face.
I'm Mr.. Glover's wife she sold.
Il thought you We're" said the Honorable
Tim in a tone that showed that the fact did
not impress him very seriously
You're Mr.. Campbell, are you not?" said
Mrs. Glover.
Il am" said the Honorable ''Tim" in his
most impressive way.
81 thought you were,'' said Mrs. Glover
quietly, as she turned and walked away.
