THE WORLDS FAIR.

THE WORLDS FAIR.
The Chicago Fair Bill, as finally
agreed upon by the senate committee
and as it will be reported favorably tt
the senate on Monday, and, it is be
lievad, passed without further delay,
is IN a shape that must to Chicago be
eminently satisfactory. The side shows
of a grand naval review in New York
harbor and Hampton ROards, and the
unwilling of statue to Columbus at
Washington, to take place in October,
1892, which New York and Washing
ton had succeeded in getting the SEN
ate committee at first to engraft in
the bill, were schemes as ingenious as
malicious to injure the fair at Chi
cago, for its concoCtorS knew very well
that foreigners coming over to witness
seaCoast and unwilling celebration
six months in advance Of the fair
would 90 home and not return again
to see the fair. Chicago therefore did
well to have that scheme so modified
that the proposed naval review and
statue unwilling shall take place in
April, 1893 so that these side-shOwS
will no more than fairly be over when
the grand exposition will be
opened in Chicago, and instead of a
detriment they are thus more likely to
prove a big advertisement and intro
duction to the grander pageant on May
LIST. New York jealousy had its last
inning in the requirement Mr.. Daniel
had inserted in the bill, that before
giving their sanction TO the fair the
national board or commissioners shall
satisfy themselves that the Chicago
subscriptions to the fair fund are valid
in law and collectable, an amendment
which lost its edge when Mr.. Farwell
promptly accepted it.
AS to the proposed grand naval re-
view, that is an affair upon which Sec
rotary Tracy appears to have set his
heart, and it was his influence, rather
than New York jealousy, that got it
engrafted on the worlds fair bill. His
main purpose in the matter was set
forth by him in an elaborate newspa-
per review a few days ago, and is in
substance to enable our people, by such
gathering of the ships of war of all
nations, to realize the easy yulner-
ability of our great ports and the need
of a powerful fleet Of our own for pro-
tective purposes. OF course it is in
different to Secretary Tracy whether
this review takes place in October,
1892, or April, 1893. The unwilling Of
Columbus statue at Washington
would necessarily be secondary affair
compared to the other, but if its pur-
pose is to replace mockery Of statue
at present in the eastern portico of the
capitol, that looks like an athlete
posing to hurl ten-pin ball at the
statue of Washington in the park be-
ycnd, by a respectable statue of the
great discOverer, the enterprise is one
in the highest degree to be com
mended.

SIrorisiny 4 Senator.

David %sley Was at one time a report

ingalls, upon an important matter of
state. The Senator, vino had no inten-
ton whatever oi being drawn into a con-
versation on that sub;ccss, mel Mr. Lcws-
ley with his accustomed grace, AMI
cOurteously veered the conversation into
other channels. Somehow, for want of
another handy subject, the Senator said
something about boards, which led to
BARRIERS, and, Of course, to tine general
subject of shaving.
"By all MEANS" said Senator Ingalls,,
''yOu should learn to shave yourself, land

full and highly entertaining disquistion
on the advantages, economic and meta.

and said nothing. When the Senator
had related circumstantially his own
varied experience with razors and
brushes and soaps. recommending this

WINGED that he could not learn what he
had come to learn, arose to 90. There
was, or the reporter imagined that there
was, sor, of merry triumphant twinkle
in Senator Ingalls's eye as he politely
bowed his caller from the room-a wink
which seemed to say: ~ have made tina.
young maa really forget what he came
fo:."
The next morning Senator Ingalls, was
more or less Mortified at finding in the
local newspaper a true report of all he
had said, including the earnest recon-
mendation of a certain shaving soap,
which he unqualiiiedly pronounced the
very best that could be had But the. re-
porters vengeance was not yet satisfied.
He marked the article and sent it to the
manufacturer OF the recommended soap.
In fortnight the newspapers, the pc
riodicals and all the many means en-
ployed by advertisers were brought into
use, and Senator Ingalls's eloquent eulo-
gy of that soap was printed in every
form tina: could be devised to attract
popular attention. And the worst of it
was the Senator could no. deny that the
very expressions, earnest and glowing as
they were, were all his own.-BostOn Post

Secret Of His Iron Constitution.

-Four young men were sitting in Del
monicos eating q dinner which might
have been prepared for a feast of Lucullus
One of the best known men in New York,
a man about sixty years old, whose for
tune stands monument to his ability
and unceasing labor, came in and seated
himself at the table next to them. He
was straight of figure, keen of eye,
rugged and vigorous. His order was a
simple soup, piece of beef, coffee and
cigar. He had finished his dinner De-
fore the young men had well started.
As he went out one of them said: THAT'S
". Constitution of iron to work as he
does" But the simple dinner, an ex-
ample of the old mans mode of living
no one apparently thought of that .-Meao

WORDS OF WISDOM.

4The weakest spot in every man is wher'
he thinks himself to he the wisest.
A wise man thinks before he speaks
but fool speaks and then thinks of whal
he has been saying.
Never argue. In society nothing mus,
be; give only results. If any person diff
fers from you, bow, and turn the CONVEX
sation.
When you know thing, to hold thai
you know it; and when you do not know
thing, to allow that you do not know
it, this is knowledge.
Inviolable fidelity, good humor and
complacency of temper Outlive all the
charms of fine face, and make the de
Gays of it invisible.
He who when called upon to speak s
disagreeable truth, tells it boldly and ha.
done, is both holder and milder than he
who nibbles in low voice, and nevel
ceases nibbllng.
Sincerity is an openness of heart; It's
found in a very few people, and thai
which we see commonly is not it, but 2
subtle DISSEMINATION to gain the conf
dence of others.
To tell our own secrets is generally
folly; but that folly Is without guilt; to
communicate those with which we arc
intrusted is always treachery, and treach
cry for the most part combined with
folly.
1t has been said that he who retires to
solitude is either a beast or an angel; the
censure is too severe, and the praise un.
merited; the discontinued being who re-
tires from society is generally some good
natured man, who has begun his life
without experience, and knew not how
to gain it i his intercourse with nan.
kind.

And that was how ROsine Wilde
came to be the belle of Madame Char
treau's fancy dress bail. The proposed
festivity had been the talk of New
Orleans for several weeks. The night
long anticipated was cool, crisp, sweet
and pcarly. Brilliantly lighted was
the broad balconied old residence on st.
Charles street. Many a carriage rolled
up, rolled off. When R7sine descended
from the barouche of her chaperon she
felt little nerv Gus, a little elated, and
conscious that she was looking uncom-
monty well-as indeed she was. Quite
picture was the pretty young figure, in
the clinging gown of pale yellowish
satin, picturesquely pulled and quantity
fashioned. The corsage, cut roundly,
revealed the firm, full throat. Dainty
mouseskin swathed the arms, which, if
slender, were also exquisitely rounded.
And the small, olive tinted face was lit
to loveliness by pansy-black eyes. A
flash of alteration succeeded the serene
noncha!anoc Of Cyril Rodney's counte-
nance. as he caught sight of her. He
made his way to her side.

Cyril was about to question this new
vagary, when the thought of a peculiar
possibility made him catch his breath
and do as hidden. He knocked at the
barred black door, and was admitted to
Rosinc's radiant presence. And mean
while his uncle went into the court
yard. The little old lady standing by
the banana tree looked up at the sound
of the step on the stones.

Miss Magnolia gazed at him in a

"Wh-at2"
"The-the dragon!" faltered Miss

"That," murm.rcd the little lady,
feeling she was in for it, and might as
we'll make a clean breast, ''was what
Rosine and lied Cyrirs uncle. And
Rosine was going to conquer him."
"Well. she did. The boy shall
marry Madcline's pretty daughter And
you, Magnolia, you'll marry mel"
"Oh, dear, no! Pm too DID,"
Not day"
"And ugly-now."
'Lovcliest woman in the world to
me" insisted the dragon, loyalty.
"Bless you, my children!' cried a
voic, from above.
The pair in the court yard glanced
up. On one of the inner balconies,
stood Rosinc and Cyril.
Vanish, you scamps!' roarcd the
dragon.
81 shan't allow you to marry South
ern girl, sir.' shouted back Cyril, as
he and Rosine beat a brisk retreat.
Laughing and brcathless they faced
each other in the old drawing room.
"Everything's lovely. sweetheart"

Rosine looked dcliciously doleful.
