Nolther nlnhone Nor Prot ectior

Neither Malone Nor Prot ection.
Georgetown Democrat.
The southern policy Of President Har-
rson has been exceedingly unfortunate
thus far. His great ambition has been
TO build a white Republican party in Che
South and thus get clear of the stigma
Of his party being the negro party of
those states. In this, however, he has
signally failed and viii continue to do 50
as long as he gives the control to such
men as Malone and his followers in Nir-
ginia, and to like men in the other states.
The dearest ambition OF the Republican
heart, the breaking Of the solid South,
will never be accomplished until the in
terests Of the South aud Of the Republi-
can party become identical This can
never be as long as the high protective
policy Of the latter is continued to the
injury not only of the great industries OF
the South but Of the West

washington's wishing Tree.

Y -
She was a charming blonde, with
hair the color Titians loved to paint,
and melting blue eyes that seemed to
invite inspection, and the closer the
better. Turning the big bronze knob
of the door leading into the main cor
rider of the White House, the I'M
known, in tones of liquid silver, in
quired of the bashful representative
Of the Post, please, sir, a you tell
me where the wishing tree is situated?"
For an instant the history maker
was in a quandary, but in the course
of q brief conversation, as~certained
that the visitor was in earnest about
her question. Some one had told her
that there was a tree in a direct line
from the White House, in front of
Jackson Square, which susceptible
maidens were in the habit of touching
and making a wish as they did SO.
Close scrutiny OF the neighborhood
showed that such a tree exists, but
whether it possessed the qualities
ascribed to 1t remains to be seen. The
meridian of Washington, an imagin-
ary line from which longitude was
formerly reckoned for the United
States, runs through the centre of the
White House, and in the grounds near
the Washington monument there
was until a comparatively recentperiod
an old sandstone column, probably
three or four feet in height, known as
the meridian stone. The tree in ques-
ton stands directly as the meridian
line in front of the horse balanced on
its hind feet, which is so conspicuous
looking north from the White House
windows. According to the young
lady, If the wish is a proper one it is
sure to be granted after the magic
is touched, and the bark shows evil
dence of numerous visits by the fair
sex who desire to tempt fate.
Probably this tree will become pop
ular with the sterner sex now that It's
properties are known and its location
| determined, and especially with those
who are seeking official distinction at
| the hands of the President. Whether
any of those at the Executive Mansion
Yesterday had heard of the wishing
tree or not it IS difficult to say, but it

respects.

1t is not easy to realize that Marie
Antoinette and George Washington
were contemporaries, and still less that
she had a decided advantage over him
in age. She seems such a back num-
Der, if one may be permitted to use
modern slang, in referring to
her. George Washington evidently
thought a great deal of his clothes,
and it is possible that he was a leader
of style, but Marie Antoinette set the
fashions for the whole world exactly
one hundred years ago. The ladies
of that day were very particular to
have everything French. From the
time Marie Antoinette was only the
Dauphiness, her smallest caprices
were studied and copied by the court
ladies, and travelled across the Allan
tic in a surprisingly short time.
FASHIONS FROM THE OPERA.
The opera has always been consid-
cred a proper place for a display OF
feminine loneliness and elegant at
tire, and that was the case in the time
of Louis XIV. The women then, as
now, were not above accepting fash
ions from the singers and actresses of
the day. Nine. Dugezon in Desede's
opera 'Blaise ct Babet, in 1888, Wore
a blue silk skirt shot with pink, and
after that shot silks became the rage.
She seems to have had a great many
imitators, for we are told that after
she had worn her hair a la creole in
Kreutzer's opera of Paul and Vir-
ginia'' that fashion vas generally
adopted for a time in France and
America.
AN oLD-TIME NEW YORK SOCIAL
EVENT.
In the New York theatres Of a hun
bred years ago the actresses probably
thought altogether of their parts and
very little about their clothes, and it
is not very likely that the ladies
caught many new ideas from them.
However, they enjoyed going to the
theatre just as we do, for on the even
ing of January 6, IT'S, the John Street
Theatre opened with the tragedy OF
Douglas" which was followed by
1.-THE Apprentice" The characters
were all taken by gentlemen of the
army and navy, and it is possible thai
George Washington assisted. The
doors were opened at five o'clock, and
the performance began at half-past
six. 1t was advertised that no one
would be allowed behind the scenes
No money was taken in at the door,
tickets having been all sold in ad
vance, at Mr.. Rivington's coffee houses
at Mr.. Marshall's tavern, and at the
printers.
But it was not really necessary fol
the ladies of a century ago to pick VI
very many new fashions from Marie
Antoinette, or from any singer O.
a~stress, because they bought very few
frocks, and when they did, the dresses
were very rich, heavy and expensive
and were expected to last for year
and years.

Behold, there was seen of my heart,
A place of great shadow and tears,
Shadows and trembling fears,
Death and the pain Of his dart.
Love in his grave-clothes was there
Dead, with no smile on his face,
Dead, in tina sorrowful place,
With scorn for a wreath in his hair.
He that had once been so great,
Mighty of wing and so fleet,
There, lying still at my feet,
There at the feet of my hatel
Looking thuswise on him there,

Touched for one heartbeat, his heart
Leaving my lips in his hair.
But, as %repentant I knelt,
Torn with the battle begun,
Shamed with the thing ! had done,
Lol on a sudden l felt
Warmth Of his wings oyerspread
Yes, of his lips and their smart,
OF his eyes, and his hands, and his heart,
Love had come back from the dead!

Mice at a women's Rights Meeting.

lrfOHt tue 1@CftttOb VIZ"
A certain historical mouse is said to
have been the means of ~rescuing a o
caught in a snare. Hitherto the afore-
said mouse has been the only OF
his species whose career vas deemed
worthy of record. 1t will now, how
ever, have to divide its posthumous
fame with two other mice, whose
names will be handed down to pos
terity as having effectually disper-
sed q meeting of strong minded
ladies-a feat no sane man or
men would have dared to at
tempt. This notable incident oc-
cured at a meeting of the 'sWomen's
Suffrage League held at the house OF
a lady at Southport. Just when some
fair orator was exercising to the full
her delematory powers in aid OF the
sacred cause, q mouse was observed
curiously contemplating the scene
from a coign of vantage on a chiffonler.
The flow of eloquence was at once
stopped and silence fell upon the en-
tire meeting, one lady only ventured
to observe that she had heard that
mice bit dreadfully.n But when this
mouse's presence was supplemented
by that of another, no more words
were wanted; a rush was made for the
door and the meeting broke up IN
stthe greatest excitement"
