A "Reminiscences.

Lucy Stone recalls in The Boston
Globe some history which will cause
part of the world to smile, and another.
a small part. to sigh, She writes of the
Bloomer dress excitement forty years
ago. Gerritt Smith urged his daughter,
Elizabeth Smith Miller, to design and
wear the dress. The skirt reached to the
knee. Below appeared full Turkish
trousers, extending to the ankle. Many
women hailed it as the attire which was
to emancipate them from dress bondage
and give them health. freedom and
strength. Numbers adopted it in various
parts of the country They found it was
all they expected, affording ightness,
health and freedom of movement. Lucy
Stone wore it among others. But wher-
ever the women appeared they were
greeted with howls and misses.
On the streets of New York a circle of
rowdy men and boys formed themselves
around Lucy Stone and Susan B. An
thony so they could not move a step.
There they held them, hooting and howl
ing. The crowd grew larger every mo-
ment and mob was threatened. A po-
liceman at length extricated the ladies.
and they took refuge in carriage.
Susan Anthony is brave as lion; the
other women We're no towards. Some
of them had faced tf1obs, bad eggs. dead
cats and foul names in the anti-slavery
cause But after nlartyrizing themselves
for three years attempting to popularize
the comfortable and convenient short
dress the women gave it up. 1.-The large
freedom they gained for their feet bore
no comparison to the bondage that beset
their spirits" says Mrs. Stone. She
writes:
Those who wore the bloomer costume put it on
in the hope that a dress at once comfortable and
useful in which you could walk up stairs and not
step ON your clothes. and down stairs and not be
stepped OLA dress which was still clean after
the longest walk, in mud and slush, with no end.

Perhaps it is with little trace of sad
ness that Mrs. Stone refers to the con-
trast between those days and the well

aesthetic dress reform And still the re-
former has not come who will 'unfetter

Our diplomatic Blunders.

Il is no use talking, we Americans are
not an astutely diplomatic people. We
can accomplish results by main strength
and awkwarylnass that are not bad, but
In the fine points of diplomacy we are
sway off. We invited Pan-America to
visit us, Our government decreed that
the languages spoken at the conferences
should be the English and Spanish.
Teen somebody remembered Brazil, and
added Portuguese to the list. Nobody,
however, happened to recall that the
natives of the Haytien republic spoke
only French. at least sort of French,
and that they would not understand
Spanish or English. So, although, the
world over. French is the language of
diplomacy, French was not included in
the official languages of the congress.
That was one blunder. Another is
that our eloquent mayors and aldermen
who make the speeches to the poor Pam
Americans are considerably mixed up in
their heads in regard to history, and do
not happen to know that Brazil is not
Spanish-Amerioan country, but Portu-
guese-American. Consequently, in their
speeches. they universally alude to the
delegates as Spanish-Americans, to the
infinite disgust of our Brazilian guests.
There is still another blunder, so bad
as to be positive sin, against good
taste. In each town they visit the UNI
happy delegates are corraled together
in place where they can't get away,
and then the greatness, glory and al
mighty richness of the United States are
poured down their threats. Wherever

OF THE MIDSUMMER CARNIVAL

An Exciting sham Battle-Haiifax Ti,eo-
retically Attacked and the Enemy Re-
pulsad-Ideal aud Real Geology-Nova
Scotia,s Involved Strata.
August opened with great stir IN mihtary
and naval circles, for the midsummer carni-
val was on; the great British war vessea
Belierophon lay some time in the harbor ana
was joined by others. Two French men-of
war also came in, and there were extensive
preparations for a great sham battle, review
and naval display. BY the courtesy OF tne
local press, spent some hours on the Beller-
ophon--the officers pronounce this Beiier-o-
phon and the sailors call it the BILLY Ruf-
sian,--and it was almost a liberal education
in that line. The vessel is $50 foot long and
manned by over 400 sailors aud marines, be-
sides the officers, and all ranks received our
editorial party aud conducted us over the
vessel with Difference aud courtesy which
confirmed the statement of many writers that
the British navy is the home of gentlemen.
AS to the carnival, has it not already been
described a dozen finest The most exciting
part of it to me was the battle, the marines
attempting to land under the protecting hre
of their gusboats, the heavy shore batteries
answering the bombardment and the red
coats, posted for two miles along tho hills,
requesting the marines, the thunder OF the sea
echoed from the hills and the echo mingled
with the crash of shore batteries, the signal
corps telegraphing from all commanding
points, and on the highest hill Sir John Ross
directing the defense-it was really quite ex-
citing. And when retreat" was sounded
from the gunboats and the launches turned
and rapidly carried the marines out OF rifle
range, it was so much like beating Off real
enemy that the unlocking thousands raised
cheer which sounded for miles over the green
slopes and granite cliffs, and wild hilarious
ioy swelled the hearts of the Haligonians

Forestry.

Without making too much fuss, the
forestry congress has accomplished great
good since its organization, some ten
years ago. At the session just ended in
Philadelphia, reports from all sections Of
the country showed how deeply interest
in the subject is growing. Profoundly
interesting were reports of young forests
from the treeless plains of Illinois and
Dakota. So much attention is paid to
the subject that in some part of the tree
less west, within the lifetime of some
old enough to recall this congress, there
will grow luxuriant forests.
The congress has done valuable work
in ascertaining what trees can be ac-
climated in given localities. Among
other valuable achievements too much
cannot be said of the interest it has
aroused among the school children on
the subject of tree planting. Many
school yards that fifteen years ago were
as desolate as Sahara have been trans
formed into bowers of beauty under the
kindly influence of members of the for
estry association. Children have learned
to love the beautiful and benefcent trees

Who Would BE President?

The question is often asked, Who would
be president in case of the death of both
the president and vice president? In
January. 1886, after the death of Vice
President Hendricks, law was made
fitting this case. If President Cleveland
had died and been succeeded by the presi-
dent of the senate. the spectacle would
have been witnessed of a change of adj
ministration from Democratic to Repub-
lican. contrary to the will of the people,
who elected Democrat president. To
obviate this awkward difficulty, to pro-
vide that the highest officer in the coun-
try should be of the political party that
prevailed at the last election, special
law was passed. ..-.
It declared that, in case of the death or
removal of both the president and vice
president, the secretary of state should
be president. In case of his death or re-
moyal, the chair will be filled by the sec
rotary of the treasury, then by the sec
rotary of war. and after him by the at
torney general, postmaster general. sec
rotary of the navy. secretary OF the inte-
ric~, III the Snder named. In case of The
disability of all .kese. there would still
be the secretary of agriculture, who was
not cabinet officer at the time the law
was made. If, therefore, Harrison and
Morton should ,bokh be removed, Secre-
tary Blaine would be president The
nearest the country ever came to realiz-
ing the condition to be met by this law
was in 1865, ut the time Of the assassina-
ton of Lincoln. If the plans of the con-
spirators had succeeded, president, vice
president and secretary of state would
have all been removed by the plot that
killed Lincoln
