Travel i'm Old Times.

Recent chronicles of rapid transit oy
our magnificent ocean steamers are In
wonderful contrast to what is related OF
a Major Langbourn, aid-de-camp to the
MARQUIS de la Fayette, who had for his
amusement, being an American gentle
man of fortune, travelled on foot through
Great Britain, Lapland and Russia, and
intended continuing his travels in the
same way through Germany, Italy and
Turkey, and returning to England to
take his passage to America, which ne
imagined would occupy him ten years to
accomplish. He is said to have met with
many hardships and had escaped from
piany perils of which he did not like to
speak. He was accompanied by faith

SHOES OF MONARCHS.

Foot Gear Worn by Mary, Queen oil
Scots, Elizabeth and Henry VIII.
Mary Queen of Scotland's last shoes,
taken from her feet after execution are
dainty little affairs of stamped leather,
and made from very peculiar pattern
The heel is very low. A narrow piece
of leather reaches high up on the In
step, covered with strange devices.
The shoe is very small and beautifully
made. When Ristori first essayed the
part of Mary, she had pair OF shoes
made exactly like these, but she found
it so difficult to keep them on her feet,
on account of the low heel, that she had
the pattern changed slightly, thereby
creating the style that is worn at pres
ent by actresses in that part.
Henry VIII. wore i'll battle shoe OF
heavy crimson velvet, fastened with
huge silver buckle. The sole is entire
" of iron, and it has hinges at the
Joints, so that the saying concerning
this King, that he trampled his subjects
under an iron heel is not altogether
figuratiye. 1t was one of the late come
dian Bishops ambitions to at some time
have produced the play of Henry Will,
and he had gone SO far as to procure n
part of costume. Among other things,
he had some shoes made which were
exactly like those in the Regent street
collection of London last summer.
Queen Elizabeth left some very dainty
slippers, made of white satin, with birds
and flowers embroidered upon them II
silk and gold. The heel is covered with
satin, and the shoe is lined with red
Joseph +. Graham, of New York, has II
his possession shoe and a sanda
which were worn by Queen Elizabeth
more than three hundred years ago
The shoe is in wonderful state
preservation. 1t is No. l in length
but rather 100 broad to be considered
shapely at the present time. 1t is mad
of yellow brocaded satin, lined wit
fine, stout linen canvas. The sole is o
oak-tanned leather. The heel is exact
lv like the high French heel of moder
times. 1t is placed we'll under the foe
and is at least two inches high. In

SENATOR vANCE's LETTER.

SENATOR VANCE'S LETTER.
There has been a great deal
said about the sub-treasury
bill that Senator Vance intro
duced for Col. L. l.. Polk in
Congress a few weeks ago.
He has addressed a letter to
Mr.. Elias Carr, President of
the Farmers Alliance, giving
his views On the subject. He
can't support the bill, think
ing it unconstitutional. but
he says:
IL stand ready to vote for
any measure for the relief of
the agricultural classes Of the
community that will serve
the purpose, asking only that
it be within the power con-
ferred upon Congress by the
Constitution. We live, hap

Of limited powers, but be-
cause, as | believe, the pres
ent tariff duties are utterly
unconstitutional, and but
"robbery under the forms Of
law" | can not gain my con-
sent to otefor this sub-treas
ury bill which provides for
the loaning of money to the
people by the government,
and which, in my opinion, is
without constitutional au-
thority. ! believe, however.
under that clause ofthe Con
stitution which gives to Con-
gress the power to regulate
commerce with foreign coun-
tries and among the states,
that the bonded warehouses
now in use for the reception
offoreign importatiors might
also be used at every port OF
entry in the U. s., and others
established elsewhere as we'll,
for the reception of domestic
articles, intended for export
or for sale in other states, and
that the government could

the Farmers Alliance. 1t is
conceded that this organiza-
tion has grown to vast pro-
portions in the State or else

that it would revolutionize
parties, or at least for the
time obliterate party lines.
Fears have been expressed by |
some that it would cripple
and disintegrate the demo-
cratic PARTY. | have no such
approximations. So far as !
have been able to catch their
views, the generakscope ofits
doctrines is in perfect harmo
ny with the democratic par
ty. While it declaims any
connection with thetwo great
parties OF the day, and pro-
poses to act independent of
both, it is plain to see that
in the principles it publishes
and advocates, itcan be moth
ing more nor less than the
hand maid of the democracy.
Itopposes high taxation, and
strikes for tariff reduction

great agricultural interests
of this country have for thir-

tance and made tributary to
other supposed higher con-
Germs, to wit the manufactur
ing interests OF the land ;
whereas. the exact reverse of
thisshould bethenatural Or

set itself to work to bring a.
bout a change in this respect,
and to give toevery one that
tills the earth a fair and e.
quail start in the race for in
dividual comfort, prosperity
and wealth. My friends OF the
alliance will permit me to say
that this is no new doctrine.
1t is nothing more thangoOd
old-fashioned democracy.
cannot say therefore that
am sorry this old doctrine

that every departure from
these time-honored and crisis
tested principles has brought
in it's train it's own evils and
envolved the country sooner
or later in some sudden catas
trophe or lingering disorder.
Our fathers allowed them
selves to forget for awhile the
invaluable doctrine OF State
Sovereignty, and the result
was, first, sectional contro-
versy upon the question of
slavery, a matter purely Of
State concern. and then seces
sion, and then one OF the
most devastating civil wars
of any age. Again our faith
ers, in the exuherance of a
mistaken patriotism, and in
their too great zeal for the
country's material progress
in one direction, embarked on
the sea of a protective tariff,
for our infant industries,
and the result is the establish
men and threatened perpetu-
alton of the most gigantic
scheme of legalized extortion
in the form OF partial, une-
quail and unconstitutional
taxation of the nineteenth
century.
1 mention these instances
only as Illustrations. TO sum
marize the Democratic creed,
as applicable to the exigen-
cies of the present time, it is
substantially to this effec5:
To modify, materially reduce
and in some instances abol-
ish theexisting rate and mode
OF taxation, whether it be in
I'telnal or import; to reduce
the necessary expenses ofthe
government to the minimum,
to ignore and discourage all
sectional strife and animosi-
ty, and 'in season and out OF
season. to rebuke and thwart
all class legislation; to intro.
duce personal and official purl
ty into every department. OF
the government, and to make
it's machinery as simple, as e.
economical and as little inter
meddling with the liberty o1
the citizenn as possible; and
above all, to make the consti
tuition our sheet anchor and
polar star in all our political
voyages.
But witho& going into de-
tails, l feel that on a retro.
spect OF my past career, ano
!, an introspection OF my pres
ent convictions, | can truth
, fully say, All these things

every one who does believ'

to be called the "salt OF the

l may be permitted however
to say in reference to Col.
Cowles (and | say it in no
spirit OF injustice or unfair
ness) that at the expiration
of his present term he will
have enjoyed the honors and
emo!uments of the office fol
six years, and one OF the well
recognized, if not openly and
formally declared doctrines
of his party is rotation in
Office" In thinking over the
list of North Carolina repre-
sentatives since the war, |
can not recall but one who
succeeded in winning afourth
term. Others equally as faith
full and some even more dis
tingished than he, coveted
this honor very much, but
sought it in vain. Whether
this was the result OF acci-
dent or design / will not say.
but it is a part of our histo-
ry.
The democratic party is
very powerful, SO much SO,
that the influence of any in
dividuals howevever great it
may be, is insignificant in it's
bearing upon party veal and
success. The time too, is past
when any one not having the
prestige of a Webster, or a
Clay or q Calhoun, can have

i.3lation. This is especially
so of Southern members be-
cause Of the sectional preju-
dice against them. About
the only effect now OF long
service in Congress is to ena-
BILE Northern members to foist
upon the county the widest
and most ruinous legislative
projects and jobberies, in the
shape of extravagant Pen
sion Bills, River and Harbor
Bills, and Rail Road and
steamship subsidies, etc. The
old members are usually the
"daddies" of all such schemes
as these. 1t is the tribute
that the youger members pay
to their ''infuence" from
length of service. Considered
from this standpoint it would
have been a great blessing
to the masses had there been
a constitutional provision
limiting the service in Con-
gress to one term.
Nevertheless, it is perfectly
legitimate for any one to
claim afourth, a fifth, or even
a twentieth term if he has a.
nything upon which to found
such claim. | will only add
and in the spirit OF kindness
that where one does ask fol
more than a third term, he
ought to have not only ar
extraordinary quantity o
brain power and Legislative
calibre, but in addition there
