A Tribute to Her Art.

While Rose Coghlan, says the Weekly Squib.
was filling an engagement in western city a
short time ago, she put up Peg Wellington"
and drew an audience that packed the opera
house to the doors. She was received with en-
thusiasn all through the performance At the
close of the third act Miss COghlan dances a
regular Irish jig, and on this occasion she
danced 1t with a vim and guSto which brought
drwn the house, and so ardent were the encores
that she was compelled to repeat it several
times. Attracted by an unusually Jealous dem
onstration in the orchestra circle Miss Coghlan
in the midst of her Dance glanced in that direc-
ton and saw an aged rishmap, who showed
every sign OF prosperity, alplauded vigorously,
and at the same time shedding tears, com
bination which astonished the actress not a
the next night. Peg Wellington was
repeated, and the prosperous looking
old Irishman was again in his place
During the jig he repeated his applause and
tears of the previous evening. Miss Coghlan's
curiosity now grew to much for her, aad she
sent for the old man to come on the stage
When he arrived in the stars presence, sne said
to him: What on earth made you applaud aud
weep simultaneously both last night and to-
night while was dancing?" The old man was
greatly embarrassed, but managed finally to
reply: why, you see, Miss I've been in this
country for thirty-two years. and during that
time had never seen an Irish Jig danced as on
the ould sod. But you danced ii as in my youth
full avs had often seen it danced about the
spot where Twas born-and-and was delighted
and also saddeued at the thought of the ould
home across the water and couldn't help ap-
plauding you and weeping also. / hope YOU
will excuse me. " 1t is needless TO say that Miss
Coghlan excused him. for he had uncousciously
paid the highest kind of tribute to her skill.

viii the side-saddle Be Abolishedq

Miss Mable Jenness is going to appear in
Central City park, New York, astride her
horse, like man. She says that in a year
afterward the side-saddle will be thing of
the past in the park.
Miss Jenness is fair apostle of the phys
ical devel )pmsnt of woman. 1t was she who
first wore bifurcated skirts in this country,
and 1t is she who is still insisting that all
other women shall wear them, in order that
there may be more freedom of their limbs.
1t is she who dscards corsets, and who begs
other women to do 50. Some of her reforms
may be open to the criticism that they pro-
mote neither health nor grace, but it cannot
be denied that she will be entitled to the
thanks of the country if she succeeds in
doing away with tight lacing.
Her first appearance as au equestr ienne
IN bifurcated skirts was made few days
| ago at a riding academy in New York.
Half dozen female sympathizers accom-
PANEL her, not astride horses, but as spec
tators. She wore leglettes, term coined
in the modest desire to avoid the use of the
masculine term, trousers, and over these
the loose outer garment hung in graceful
folds. Seated in the saddle, she seemed to
be mounted on that side from which the
view was had, and it was only when coming
directly toward or going directly from one
that it was apparent that she was riding
man-fashion.
| The young lady's objections TO the side
saddle are that it develops only one half of
the woman's body, that it tends to pro-
| duce curvature Of the spine, and that under
it the horse cannot travel with an even gait.
The greatest difficulty which most women
will experience in adopting the new styla
of riding, she says, will be in the lack of
strength in the muscles of the knees and
thighs, by which muscular men keep their
| position.
This is a rather startling reform, and no
doubt it will be vigorously assailed, but it
cannot be deriied as was the attempt of a
few ''strong minded" females to introduce
the bloomer costume, for the reasons that
there is much less that is ludcrous and re-
| pulsive about it. and that in some par
ticulars it is based upon common sense.

During he discussion of the pension ap-
preparation bill the other day, Congressman
Allen of Mississippi made one of his witty
speeches. He said that he did not belittle
the services of the federal soldiers. To do
SO would be to belittle his own. He had
been one of the men whom they had TO over
come, and that had been a herculean task.
When he remembered that there had been
but Cos, 600 enlistments in the confederate
army, when he remembered that the south
had no navy, no treasury, no stores, and
when he was told that it had a bad cause,
the idea had occurred to him that had the
south had clean field, fair shake and a
good cause, it would have been a mighty
bad buzz-saw to monkey with. When
the country came to counting hundreds
of millions for the payment of pensions,
1t was weighing the money, not ON the
apothecarv's scale, but upon the improved
platform scale. He did not know where
this thing was going to stop. He had a
high regard for the government; lie was
mighty sorry he had tried to break it up !;
but if gentlemen were going to carry pen
sion legislation to its legitimate conclusion,
congress had better stop and have an &C
counting. 1t looked to him as if the coun-
try would have to let the G. A. R. take the
government. He honored the gentleman
from Indiana (Mr Cheadle) for his loyalty
to the private soldier. The difference he
tween the gentleman and himself was that
he wanted to pay federal soldiers partly in
honor. while the gentleman wanted to pay
them in hard cash.

The Walters Dignity.

The Jealousy of hotel walters is prcverbial,
says the Detroit Free Press. There was a scene
IN the ordinary of hotel last evening that was
amusing to the guests. though the two prnci-
pals were consumed with rage. The waiter of
one table had taken an order for buttered toast.
IN the Kitchen ne turned his back for a mo-
ment. when another waiter who had q similar
oraer took up the buttered toast and carried it

room.

MY toast, growled the other waiter. as he
served the order al his own table.
Ine two then stood and glared at each other,
while each growled in deep bass:

The guest who had received the felonious or
ger needed something else. which took No. 2 to
the Kitchen. At that moment No. l stepped up
ana recovered his stolen dish from the elbow of
the astonished guest.

tones and, whisking it off to his own table he

The Springfield Mass Union is clearly
entitled to be called bloody shirt organ,
so far as its utterances are concerned, and
yet the impression is made upon those who
read it that it really believes the untrue
things it says about the south. The New
York tribune, the Philadelphia Press, the
Chicago Tribune and other bloody shirt
organs make statements which they believe
to be untrue. They do this in their desire
to manufacture political capital for their
party. the Union SENS to believe all of
the statements that it sees in these news
papers, and on that account it is really
curiosity in journalism. The Uaicn, it is
painful to remember, is printed in the en-
lightened state of Massachusetts.

The Tidal Wave Of Pensions.

Although this country is now paying the
enormous sum of s10O, 100000 a year
on account of pensions, an amount
greater than is paid by all of the
| other countries of the world COM
bined on the same account, yet the high
water mark has not been reached. Even if
no additional general pension legislation is
enacted, the amount required for the next
year will be between $l2J, 900 aid $780,
100000. But some general pension bill
is pretty certain to bs passed, and
there is little likelihood that the Presi-
dent will veto it. He is himself
committed by his message to congress to the
dependent pension bill, which would take
out Of the treasury anywhere from $35, 00O,-
600 to $50, 100000 a year; and the service
pension bill, which would require annually
the payment of 800, 100000 or $500 900,
has the Endorsement of the Grand Army,
and is being vigorously pushed. 1t is pro-
posed also to repeal the act limiting the
period within which application may be
made for arrears Of tensions, and this would
cost the country, according to the commits
sioner of pensions, about $47j, 100000.
than 100000 names, and a recent count
showed that he claims pending in the pen
sion bureau, including original applications
and those for Increase. numbered 460,516.
While the country rests under the obliga-
ton, which no one wants it to evade, of
providing for those who were injured in its
service, there ara doubtless many names
upon the pension rolls which should not be
there, and if the dependent or the service
pension bill is passed there will be thousands
more, and all because politicians are cater
ing to the soldier vote. The situation is
decidedly serious 1t is time for politi-
clans to be brought face to face with the
fact that there are other voters besides the
ex-union veterans, and that many of the
ex-veterans themselves think that congress
is going entirely too fast in the matter of
pensions.

From a Womaa's Standpoint.

A Washington correspondent recently
interviewed the wives of number of con-
gressmen as to whether or not a congress
man and his family could live on his salary
of $1,000 year. The views of mel upon
this subject have been given TO the public
frequently, and there has been always
considerable divergence of opinion
among them, but the women who
have expressed themselves are of one
mind. They don't believe that the
thing can be done. That is, they don't
think a congressman and his family can
live on 5000 a year in anything like the
style suited to their position. and it is to be
noticed, though not as an astonishing fact
at all, that every one OF them thinks her
husband could have amassed fortune if he
had followed his profession or business.
instead of entering politics.
The statements Of these women are inter
esting, if not conclusive. Even the neces-
sary expenses of living, they say, are greater
with congressman than with other people.
because the grocer, the milliner and the
other trades people have a notion that con-
gressmen must pay more for what they buy
than anybody else, and they adhere to it
very tenacionsly. Besides, every congress
mans wife must have a carriage if she at
temptS to return even a proportion of the
calls she receives, and thea there is the ex-
pense Of entertaining, and charities
both at home and in Washington must
be helped. Mrs. Reed thinks that if it
were not necessary to keep up two estab-
lishments, the salary might be sufficient,
but Mrs. Frye takes the view that q home
establishment is an economy, as a congress
mans family can live at home two thirds
of the year. Mrs. Ingalls, thinks that only
the millionaire congressman can live prop
erly in Washington, and she goes on
to say that there are only eleven
millionaires in the Senate, and thirteen
other members who are in good pecuniarv
circumstances. The other fifty-seven are for
the most part entirely dependent upon their
salaries. a senator is even criticised for
making his son his secretary. "A mer-
chant can place his son in lis storen Mrs
Vance says, "and professional man can

a very Interesting question to the repu0-
lican membs-s OF thu House. "Now, seri-
