for Republicans, but now there is great
change. In 1883 the registration in the
county showed three hundred majority
for them, but this year they only have

In recent issue Of your paper appear
cd an article credited to the Alexandria
Gazette justly crticising the War De-
partment in regard TO lowering the flag
on the occasions OF the death OF the two
ex-Secretaries Jefferson Davis and Belk-
nap. In the winding up Of that article
occurs this old adage, "Comparlsons
are odious." Now, / want to know OF
you the origin Of that phrase. In Much
Ado About Nothing, Act III, Scene 4,
Dogberry says: Comparisons are odo-
rous, " and J suppose, as usual, he blum
dered in trying TO quote the original.
Can you enlighten me JOE w.
See Burton's Anat0my Of MeiapchoH
Part IL. section 3, where the adage &C.
ours properly, "Comparisons are oil
GUS" 1t probably goes back, like many
others, to time " of which the memory
Of man runneth not to the contrary"
Burton was a contemporary of Shaks-
peare, though younger Dogberry, the
Shakspearian lfrs. harrington, ofcourse
Numbered in attempting to quote.

vide it by tracing imaginary lines into
vet smaller diamonds and wherever two
lines cross bore four holes. Through
these put narrow strips, say a quarter
of an inch wide, of the light leather,
making Roman crosses with short arms.
Cut a piece of your light leather into
thongs and make of these braid about
half an inch wide. Use the braid to
bind the edges of your diamond and
twist a cord of the same materials to 90
about the bottom Of the hassock when
you have stuffed it thick and made il
ready for finishing. Lastly take strips
of your light leather and make small
taSsels to sew on at the corners. You
might prefer a down foot cushion in
your boudoir. but he will like this bet

comical sachet-bag which you can make

prettiest you can find, with brown eyes

of one of those baby nests in which you
see foreign nurses carrying infants,
and which you can contrive of yellow

you have sifted generous quantity OF

brodered silk. trimmed with lace il

Something which costs no money?
Alack, it is given to few of us to lind it,
but there are things which are dainty
and which cost little but labor. There
is, for example, booklet for the regis

How They May Traveland Not BE SUBJECT
to Annoyance.
Lndils, Nonle J0NrnaI.

Ladies nome JOUFHut.
The girl who is going away from home
quite by herself, and will have to traVei
for several DAYS and nights on the cars,
who will be at strange hotel by her
self wants little advice about what 10
do. Her number may be many, so pre-
fer to tell her in this little paragraph;
In buying her ticket for the trip
she also buys a ticket for her sleeper
and the railroad official Will arrange
that if she does not get the en-
tire section the other berth is also
occupied by a lady. When she wishes
to 90 to bed, the porter, at her request,
will arrange the berth for her, and then
out OF the small satchel that she mas
provided she will take the dark iiannel
or delaine dressing gown in which she
intends TO sleep, and go TO the toilet
room and put this on. Her clothes are
hung by the berth, and while she Is ad-
yiSed TO remove her dress, skirt ana cor
sets. and her shoes, it will be wiser TO
retain some of her underwear and her
stockings, not only because of the
draught, but because of the facility OF
getting into things the next morning.
Get up early and go 10 the toilet room,
but do not mOnOpoliZe 1t.
When you reach a strange city, get
into the stage that belongs TO the hotel
to which you wish to go, get out at the
ladies' entrance, go into the reception
room and say that YOU wish some one
sent from tie Office 10 you. Tell
whoever comes exactly what kind of a
room YOU want, and ask the price OF 1t.
Give him your name to register, ana re-
member while you are alone in public
house il is not wise to dress in any eX-
cept quiet way. No trouble about order
ing your meals ShoHld be experienced, AS
the bill of fare shows exactly what Is
served and you can take your choice.
As to tipping you will certainly
give a small tip to the porter who straps
and locks your trunks for you, and to
anv bell-boy in the hotel who shows you
some special service. If you are only
there for few hours it is not necessary
for you to tip the waiter or the cham
bermaid, unless she also should do some
act of kindness for you, such as brush
ing your gown, getting the piece of soap
that you have forgotten, or putting a
stitch in a ripped frock. Although 1t
is not pleasant TO be alone, still l do
firmly believe that well-bred girl with
clear head and an understanding mind
can 90, without any trouble, from Cali
fornia to New York, and receive only
courteous attention.
The don'tS are these:
Don't dress loudly.
Don't make any acquaintanceS on the
car or in hotels.
Don't sit alone in public parlorS. Bet
ter stay in your own room and read than
make yourself an object of comment.
Make up your mind to be courteous
and polite but reserved, and all men
will be like Chevalier Bayards to you,
and all women will give you what you
demand-reSpect.

Special Correspondence or he REGISTER.
New YORK, December labor or
derS Of many kinds exist and flourish in
the United States to-day. Two greater
than all the others combined have on
widely divergent lines grown into pro-
portions of such magnitude as To eX-
tend their influenc into every hamlet OF
the country. Each is in existence for
the sole purpose OF establishing and
protecting the rights Of organized la
Dor, yet so radically opposed is the
one TO the other in its view of
the means 10 be adopted TO that
end thar all hope of uniting the two
orders in harmonious action on any
great problem affecting wage-wOrkerS
has long since been abandoned, and il
seems 70 be recognized now that the
permanent supremacy Of the one in the
labor world means the gradaal eXtinc-
tiOn of the Other-One would Obliterate
trade distinction in its work for the
good OF the entire order; the other IS
based entirely on the trade-uniOn prin-
ciple, declaring that no other principle
can be Of permanent value.
Hence il is that ali who take time TO
consider seriously the vital issues OF the
day are watching with the keeneSt in
terest the progress of the Knights of
Labor under the leadership of Terrence
V Powderly. and of the American Fed
GRAFTON OF Labor under the leadership
of samuel GOmpers. Each order has
more than once been confronted with
conditions which threatened its very
existence, ana each with its record OF
contests lost and won, survives to-day,
= living National force. During the
year now closing each order entered, at
different times, upon an aggressive Strug-
gle which attracted the attention of the
whole civilized world The Fedora
ton gained q signal victory with scarce
~ an exchange Of gunShotS. The
Knights. after a long and weary and
desperate fight. retired from the field,
starved out and vanquiShed by superior
forces. Nevertheless there are still
possibilities in the future which may
well arouse the ambition and call for
the most Herculean and enthusiastic eff
forts OF the Knights Of Labor. There
are still in the pathway of the yictori-

ruffie of the same at the edge or ilounce

inexpensive as you please.
To make in ten minutes; yes, ana
they look pretty on the tyee. mean
hair-pin balls. I've seen little cousin
of Frances Willard concoet them, and
hold them dancing just out of reach OF
baby's fingers. For each ball she would
take loose handful of white horse hair
and catch a bit of open-meshed net
about it with a bow. When she had two
she would tie one at either end of yard
of narrow ribbon. Then she would toss
the bright colored bit of nothing at the
toilet table and the ribbon would catch
somewhere. and the balls hang swing
ing.
At last there is something new In
shaving paper. At least this is the bus
mess at which surprised Otero. She
wore a demure gray dress and was
curled up on an ottoman. In her lap
she held quantity of white tissue pa
per which she cut deity into circles:
when she had a little fluttering heap OF
disks all of size she ran it through
the middle with darning needle fol-
lowed by length of baby ribbon knot
ted at the end. Then she smoothed
and folded and coaXed these flamboyant
skirts to lie down modeStly and whip
ned them inside of a rongh linen paper
cone or bell with hole in the top 10
let out the ribbon to hang ii by. The
cone was laced down its side with baby
ribbons and the dark little dancer SEEM
ed to find as much fun in playing with
il as child with new toy. 1t
was, pointed with struggling chrysan-
themums, but for the art work Otero
was not responsible. The bell was Civ
en- to her by woman artist ready to
fill. The bells are made sometimes OF
celIuloid and sometimes OF isinglaSs,
and il is not strictly necessary that they
be painted, rosettes OF baby RIBBONS
with hanging ends when perched at the
top so as TO drop over the sides answer
ing very tolerably.
Those bright little ribbon calendars
which run off the days of the week and
month as if they were coquettish tape
measures are mounted this season in
hearts or circles of linen paper as thick
as blotting paper. A pretty design for
painting is an irregular wreath woven
of twigs of witch hazel. About the
starting points of the three white gold
lettered ribbons run the letters: Take
from my Mouth the Wish for Happy
Years"
Whimsical devices in glove and hand
kerchief bags occur TO every inventive
woman. a piece of antique silk is pref
ty if the four corners are simply caught
up together under bow, which also
serves to finish off the broad ribbon

kissing as Medicine.

e
ice Brooks was sitting in his barber
shop Thursday morning when two ladie,
entered, evidently mother and daugh
ter, the younger carrying babe, and
both strangers to the proprietor. Mr.
Brooks. with that CheSteriieldian bear
ing for which he is noted, arose and
gave them a cordial greeting. The
mother of the babe, after replying tC
the salutation, said TO Mr.. Brooks: Il
have a favor to ask of you, and although
il may seem queer one, and you Il
stranger, l hope you will grant it, I'm
sure if you do it will be of great benefit
TO my child"
"What can l do for you. madam, re-
piled Joe, IF it is anything reason
able, presume | can grant it,"
Il have heard" continued the lady,
that if a colored person will kiss a
baby twice III the mouth, it will assist il
in tcething and make this otherwise
troublesome period to children very
easy to bear"
Il guess | can accommodate you,
madam, replied Joe, and, Suiting the
action TO the words, took the child from
its mothers arms and gave it two Is
sweet aud resounding kisses as he was
capable of bestowing- Joseph is an
expert in that direction. He has the
mouth.
When this was done the mother took
the child, and both ladies left the shop,
apparently perfectly satisfied the opera
ton would give the infant relief from
that pain incidental to teething. They
seemed to be ladies of refinement, and
from their actions firmly believed that
careSScS from colored person would
have the effect desired.
