Ioye.Letter pillows.

The latest device of girlhood is fancy
for stuffing pillows with their old love
letters. There is one thing about the
contents of these pillows that can be de.
pended upon with . marked degree OF
certainty-they are sure to be soft. Now,
the question naturally arises, must the
pillows be stuffed with letters from a
single person, or may missives from
Jack and John and Algernon be
tumbled promiscuously together? Il
it test of loyalty that when
once u girl really falls in love, OF
thinks she does, that she discard from
her pillows all the letters save those oi
the object of her deepest affection? And
how does marriage affect the fate of the
pillow? Do husbands enjoy having their
wives faces buried in q mass OF soft
nothings that other men have written to
them? And what dreams may come, and
what skimpy, fat, little pillows some
poor girls must have; but how nice it ia
for some men to reflect that their adored
ones slumber softly on their words OF
love, and what ar excellent place to store
away the litter of letters. II New York

The Real Issue.


The Republicans wilfully misstate the
point at issue in the House of Repre-
sentatives when they assert that the
Democrats are denying the right OF a
majority to transact business.
The Democratic contention is that the
business of the House shall be conducted
in a constitutional, regulated and dc
cent manner.
For the first time in the history OF the
Government. the House OF Representa-
tives ia proceeding, near the third month
OF its session, without any rules to govern
it's conduct or to protect the rights OF toe
minority. The will Of the Speaker
is the sole law of that body. Mr..
Reed is the ruler. He is, in effect,
the House, for he assumes prerogatives,
without warrant from the House, which
the Constitution confers upon the mem
bers. He counts in the negative Repre-.
resentatives who exercise their unde'
niable privilege of not voting. He makes
the journal, which for hundred years
has been made by the recorded action oi
the House
This is the clearest and grossest usur.
patton OF power ever attempted in free
government. 1t substitutes a one-man
despotism for government by the peo-
ple's representatives. It supplants the
rule of law with the rule of Ca
price. The Democrats are right in
resisting this. They are right in
demanding rules in place of a ruler. Aud
they have but to keep cool and stand
firm to win. Speaker Reed is neither Q
Cromwell nor Bismarck. He is simply
a preposterously inflated and unprinci
pied politician, who is digging with hit
gavel the grave Of his party.-[New YorE

Did America Discover browning

1t is my happiness to remember that
was among the earliest Americans who
knew Mr.. Browning in Europe, and hac
the pleasure of giving him copy of Mar
garet Fuller's review of his poetry, which
she wrote for the New York Tribune. II
was the first important tribute to hil
genius from this country, which vel
coined him sooner and more warmly
than his native land. 1t is evident tha
the spell of his power among us hal
strengthened and widened with time
and thus Miss Fuller's fine appreciation
was only the first note of what has be
come an American chorus of delight and
