SENATOR KENNA AS THE PERFECT MAN.
Miss Margaret Kenna, daughter of the bril-
liant Senator from West Virginia. unlike most
young women, cares little for the society of
gentlemen, and her social duties form but Il
secondary part in her busy lifc Possessing
considerable artistic talent, Miss Kenna has
endowed her home with numerous beautiful
specimens of her skill with the brush, in ad-
dition to which she has contributed some in
teresting articles to Catholic periodicals, and
or late made successful debut in the news
paper world. An ardent admirer of her father
she regards all other men as far inferior to his
standard i'll manly attributes and domestic
virtues, and, though universally popular, this
daughter OF the South has never yet felt the
divine essence of a love that will overlook all
faults of the man in the charmed atmosphere
of an ideal hero Passing safely through the
woods she will in all probability at the end of
the road meet with her fate in one less perfect
than her model, yet to her eyes all that the
most critical could desire.

She has enjoyed superior advantages of seeing
the world and learning to know its people
while dwelling beneath their own vine and
flg-tree. One would therefore think that the
fair young American would have formed for
herself some beau-ideal of manhood into whose
keeping, she would long ago have intrusted
her maiden heart. Yet, strange to say, when
| asked her to give me candid description of
her ideal husband, she confided to me the fact
that in all sincerity she had never formed one.
~ fear you will judge me very fckle,' she
added, sbut, to tell you the truth, find that
my fancy changes with every new acquaintance
of the masculine gender. This deplorable fact
goes to prove that in my day-dreams of future
state of matrimonial happiness there has been
no definite picture formed, and, in fact, be-
lieve that the romantic quality that marked
the days of The Children of the Abbey has
entirely died out in this more hum-drum age.
The young people of the nineteenth century
look more upon the practical side of life
than is compatible with the development of
the romance of our natures Should young
man propose to the lady of his love in the
same eXtraYagant style as that of which we
read with SO much pleasure in the old ro-
mances he would surely get laughed at for his
palms, where a less humble and more manly
ayoWal of his affection, couched in practical
and plain terms, would be received with at
tention, and in case of finding a responsive
chord would doubtless meet with an accept
ance equally Unconditional and as much to the
point as though it had been worded in the
most poetical and flowing terms.
SHE DOESN'T LIKE THE SOCIETY BEAU.
'It is deplorable, but true' she continued,
'that the majority of men one meets in so
coety are perfect nonentities, without end or
aim in life but to kill time in as pleasant
manner as circumstances and their fathers
generosity will permit, while their brains are
filled with nothing but the latest gossip of the
club or the newest style in neckties, and their
accomplishments confined to their feet. They

A LOST OPPORTUNITY.
Why Gen. Johnston Didn't PuIverize
Mcclellan at Seven Pines.


The death of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston natu-
rally calls to mind many anecdotes and remi-
niscences of his peculiar personality There
is one tale to be told, which, so far as the
salient feature is concerned, can only tell my
self. On the night before his troops were put
in order by Gen. Johnston to fight the battle
of the Seven Pines the bugles were blowing and
the ''long roll' had been sounded soon after
midnight. The grand division of Gen. Long
street was encamped in tents on the Richmond
fair grounds heterrible downpour of rain
it came in sheets-kept them standing up to
the ankles in water until daybreak. Then we
took up the line for the front, which was not
more than four or five miles off, and we got
into fighting position before thesu had risen.
1t may be necessary to explain that about
twenty-five thousand of McClellan's army
were on the Richmond side of the Chicka-
hominy, and Johnston had fifty thousand or
more to deal with them, while they were cut
off from support by the swollen and angry
stream. But Johnston's troops laid down on
the roadside until after 2 p. NJ, and the OPEN
ing gun of battle was fired by D. H. HIPS
grand division about that time. The point of
the whole matter was that GustaVus Smiths
Longstreets, and ID. ii. Hill's divisions neither
got into line simultaneously, nor did they
act together afterward. The result is known.
1t SO happened that few years ago | was

Thomas Soran, commissioner of deeds Gen.

my God, man., he answered, ''could reach
out and grab my subordinate generals by the
hair of their heads and drag them into battle %
The writer has never forgotten the dramatic
gesture with which the old general emphasized
his remark He had good cause to complain,
as every intelligent soldier in the Army we'll
knew. And his unfortunate Wounding from
splinter of shell about T. NJ in the first
battle day put it out of his power TO retrieve
the mistakes and delays Of his subordinates.

There is kind OF matchmaking
which it is a mothers duty to attempt,
writes Amelia T.. Barr, ia the Ladies'
Hone journal. But it has strict linn
itations. 1t resolves itself into the
simple duty of Introducing to her
daughter young men whose moral
character is good, who are in position
to marry, and who, physically, are not
likely to repel her. The young people
may then safely be left to their own
instincts. There should be no attempt
to coercc: no moral force used to
make even suitable marriage, though
extremities may lawfully be used to
prevent an evil marriage. A mothers
really begins while
her daughters education is in prog
ress, and it is one OF the strangest OF
facts that mothers generally force this
in the direction of those
qualities likely to amuse young men
music, dancing, singing, dressing,
playing games, chatting wittily, etc
Now, such attractions are likely to
procure plenty of Irritation but young
men rarely marry the girls they fiirt
with. And why do not mothers con-
slider, most of all, that approaching
period in their daughters lives when
they will, or ought to, cease being
made love to? Why should the prep
aration for young ladyhood absorb
all the girls education? How many
curriculums contain any arrangement
for education for wifehood or parent
hood? Yet, what man wishes to pass
his life with woman whose only
charm is the power to amuse him?
He might as well dine every day upon
candy sugar.

MIR. EDITOR: The recent announce
ment by the board of health OF San
Francisco that IA quantity of elephant
brand condemned milk recently

To have been composed of clay and
grease, with no milk whatever, leads
me TO ask II il is safe to use condensed
milk In any ease. Many poor people

from II milkman, but do have a can of
condensed milk In the house for use

with milk, as is frequently done by

the feeding of poor food to the cows.

Current News.


About six months ago repairs were
completed upon the United States
steamer Alert at the Mare Island navy
yard and the vessel received n full
complement OF officers and men and
was ready to go 10 sea. But the vessel
did not sail, and she Is to-day at her
berth waiting orders. 1t was reported
that the repairs were SO insubstantial
In character that IL would be danger
ous for the vessel to go to sea. On the
other hand, there were disagreeble
rumors that certain officers did not
want TO sail in the vessel, ns they pre-
ferred newer cruisers, and were trying
TO cause IA seaworthy vessel to be CON
demned.
The department ordered an inves-
tigatlon on the following lines: Has
there been any neglect OF duty or
carelessness on the part OF any officer
OF the navy or employe OF the navy
yard at Mare Island in preparing the
Alert for sea; II so, state the name or
names of such officer or officers, or
employe or employees, and the particu-
lars OF carelessness in each case2"
The board OF inquiry made n report
which was made public April 8. 1t re-
ported that: Naval Constructor
Feaster had been careless in the super
vision of the repairs upon the Alert,
and neglectful In his examinations Of
the work as II progressed, which re-
suited In serious defects in the ship
being passed over without repairs,
and in unsatisfactory workmanship
in the repairs made.
Master Shipwright Williamson was
negligent in the performance of the
duty intrusted TO him In the int
mediate direction OF the first repairs
prior to November "a, 1890, which was
the cause of serious de-
fects in the ship being passed over
without repairs, and in emitting inn
portant work, such as scaling the
surface before painting.
Master Shipftter Artemas Web
ster was neglectful in the performance
of his duty in not exacting the proper
workmanship in the repairs made
upon the double bottom of the Alert
to November 90, 1880, and
in not properly carrying out the
recommendations of the board of
survey by failing to remedy certain
defects which were specially men
These findings have been approved
by the navy department, and Naval

Webster has been dis
charged, as was Master Shipwright
The board, composed OF Commodore
Irwin, Commander Bartlett, Con-
structor Fernald, Assistant Con-
structor StahI and Chief Engineer

are necessary, while Constructor Fer

charge of these repairs.

An item regarding the alleged alb
sorption of the typhoid bacillus from
the soil into the juices of plants, where
the fertiIizing agent that has been
used has been "night-sCil - from the
city vaults, has had some currency in
our sanitary periodicals.. While the
typhoid bacillus can at times be de-
tected in the manure obtained from
scavengers, no competent observer
has, we think, detected it in the juices
of vegetables that have been manured
with that substance.
According to the Medical Journal
the use of such manure is, however,
not wholly free from danger, and
vegetables that do not pass through
the process of boiling in their prepara-
ton for the table should be cleansed
from all attached foreign matter with
unusual care. In the neighborhood
of many of our cities the cultivators
of celery and other garden vegetables
add liquid "night-soil manure to
their fields in order to advance the
growth of their crops. A certain por-
ton of this fertilizer cannot fail to
lodge on the leaves and stems of such
edible plants as celery, which filth will
not be all disengaged and washed
away by the ordinary processes of
cleansing for table use. Celery is
especially mentioned because it is
peculiarly apt to catch and hold the
solid contents of the scattered cess-pit
manure, and in this dirt the bacilli of
typhoid fever have been detected time
and again.
