4 Pen PortraIt of Ronlnnrer.

When l entered he was sitting at a
long table covered with books and
papers, but he Immediately arose, came
forward with pleasant "bon jour" and
a hearty grasp of the hand, and led me
to a seat. 1t was the first time | had
seen him, and l observed with some sur
prise that he was not in the least like the
published portraits that are TO be seen
in every part of Paris. He has nothing
of the dapper look of the photographs
and engravings. His hair is not dark
and nicely combed, as you see it in the
"pictures in little" but it is iron gray,
and it stands cropped" and erect. His
beard, too, is tawny and slightly mixed
with gray. In physique he is Of middle
height, well filled, and neither stout nor
slender. He has a stronger face and .
more intellectual head than the popular
portraits credit him withal, and the lines
in his face are distinctly marked-there
is quite a deep line running across his
forehead His eyes are keen aud grave
His coat was semi military in cut, but
not in color. Tor, Ike his trousers, it
was a kind OF yellow brown. Boston

AUNT MARTHA's SPINNING.

With spider-webbing tattered 's9
In travesties Of lace,
Mid treasures years have scattered
Once miracles Of grace
Jmploring Time to spare it
With rusty tongue of steel,
Behold il in the garrett
Aunt Marthas spinning wheel.
With slow and pensive fingers
wipe the webs away,
While loving Fancy fingers
To paint an olden day.
When youth and beauty crowned it
What gay songs used to peall
Now crickets wall around it
Aunt Martha's spinning-wheel.
Isoftly touch the treadle;
1t gives plaintive squeak;
1t begs me not to meddle,
In murmurs sad and meek.
Alas! the feet that lithely
Once twinkled through the reel,
No more shall pat it blithely-
Aunt Marthas spinning wheel.
How Off its noisy turning
Hath served lovers need,
And kept Age from discerning
What only Youth should heed
'Twoulj drown both vows and kisses
That lovers love to steal;
a dear old treasure this is
Aunt Martha's spinning-wheel.
For fear of house adorner
In search of bric.a- -brac,
Far in the garret corner
With sighs put it back;
Aud there just as l found it,
l leave for wo or veal
With ghosts to glide around it

o convention
Of 1887 passed motion to establish a
monthly trade journal. to be edited
by the national secretary. The first
number Of this journal, The Tailor, was
issued Oct. Is, 1887, and to its influence
is said to be due in a great measure the
growth Of the organization during the
past two years. The secretary-editor re-
ceives moderate salary and devotes his
entire time to the duties of his dual posi-.
ton. He is the only official receiving
pay from the national organization.
Since the organization of the National
union it has had great many strikes
and other controversies with employers,
and the secretary claims that it has come
out first best in nine-tenths of them.
Strikes, however, are discouraged as a
means Of settling differences, the Ma
tional union urging arbitration in all
cases where it is possible to induce the
employers to settle in that way.
The next regular biennial convention
will be held in Columbus, O., beginning
on Aug. 10 next. Several important
measures will be brought forward for
consideration, among them a scheme for
providing sick and death benefits, which
addition to the constitution is likely to
be adopted without much objection. A
programme for a vigorous campaign,
upon new lines, among unorganized
tailors will also be set upon foot.

tenements by miserable creatures whose
necessities compel them to work for
starvation prices, while they exist amidst
filth and are the abject slaves of the
manufacturers and "slop shop" owners.
OF course only the simpler part Of the
work of tailoring Is done in the tene-
ments, the cutting and finishing being
done by skilled tailors in the shops. The
Sweating system" in tailoring is about
the same thing as that objected to by the
cigarmakers in their war upon "tene-
ment house" work; and if the reports
of those who have Investigated the sub
ject are true there are certainly strong
grounds for objecting.
There have been isolated unions Of
tailors in the United States for more than
half century, and the union of Troy,
N. Y, which was founded In 1928, was
one of the first organizations Of work
ingmen in the country; but it was not
until 1868 that any attempt at national
federation was made. In that year the
Journeymen Tailors' National Trades
union was organized in Philadelphia
Although it did not formally disband
until 1886, this union was never very ex-
tensiye or powerful, its membership in
1885 being less than 1000.
The Journeymen Tailors' National
union, the most successful national
organization the trade has ever known,
was founded in the city of PHILADELPHIA,
in August, 1888. Representatives of the
local unions of five cities, with an aggre-
gate membership Of 1900, were present
and took part in the organization, Dur
ing the first year of its existence the
union doubled trs membership, and when
the convention was held in Chicago in
1884 delegates were present from ten To-
calls, and it was believed that the Ma
tional union was an established fact at
last. Since 1854 the organization has
