MORE Reform.

The sum total of Senator wisner's
patriotism this session has been to
champion a measure that created an
Office for himself. A report from, Lam
sing says that he has resigned his sena-
iorship to become . member Of the
consolidated board of control of the
State penal institutions. 1t was dis
tinctly understood that he was to be
enc of the members of that board, and
Wisner himself made no secret of it.
But his appointment to such a position,
during the term for which he was
elected, is prohibited by the -consttu-
ton. Such appointment can neither
be made 10y the Governor nor accepted
by the Senator without a gross viola
ton Of the constitution. The Governor
was very fearful of infringing some
imaginary provision of the constitution
by approving the G.. A. L. approprla-
ton, but he will make an appointment
which the constitution prohibits, with
out any compunctions of conscience, if
it suits the Democracy. The Governors
regard for the constitution is just as
great . fraud as the Senator's. One
Will give and the other will receive un-
constitutional rewards. So much for
the shining lights of "reform" Democ-
racy

RADICAL RAILROAD TALK.

D1SA h Hh kA Lfhs
 President Blackstone of the Chicago and Alton railroad made some stir last year when he made public his idea of the rail road question, and MT. Stickney, of the Chicago, St. Paul and Kansas City rail road. also made stir when he told the assembled railroad officials that he would not trust any of them Gin their official capacity) with his watch. But what he says in book which he is now having printed will make greater stir. He holds that the construction of rail roads is the function and prerogative of the State, as time out of mind the build ing and maintenance of highways has been. And where they have been con- structed by corporations the companies are exercising under license a function which belongs exclusively to the State. He defends the present granger up rising against the roads and says it is not directed against the aggre9ate amount of rates being collected by the roads, but against the discriminations they are practicing in the collection of revenues President Stickney has no patience with the regulative act of congress as it has been enforced, and says: During the four years that the interstate law has been in existence who has been fined? Just one poor freight agent, who was undoubtedly following his instructions" To have any effect, the law, he says, should authorize the chief executive officer of the railroad commission to take possession of road whenever he is satisfied the company is consistently disobeying the law, and operate it through the intervention of re- .eeiyeE ..s ,...-- ..- This is radical enough. Brother Stick ney is evidently not a follower of Gould in the present 'bull' movement.

 That gond stury-teI-rs wrr raritirs is ax iomatic, and that two god story-trllers living in this world as nan and wife cal be found, seems almost impossible. Ye' the prince of that trade-Chauncey Mitch ell Depew-has in his charming wife. q most dangerous rival in his own field, and the apparently impossible is here a fact In appearance Mrs. Depew is of medium height and slight, girlish figure, to which her stateliness of carriage imparts great five and forty years old, looking much nearer the former than the latter age. Her face is charming and beautiful, though like many such faces photograph misses much of its chief beauty, its gave ty of expression and brilliancy of color ing. Her hair, which is of a dark brown, is worn in soft curls high on her forehead and head; the eyebrows and lashes shade her most beautiful and expressive feature, the eyes, which are deep brown in color, and of great variety in expression.
 Immediately after her marriage in 1871 Mrs. Depew commenced to act as her hus- bands secretary, and has ever since been of the greatest assistance to him. It seems very easy matter to the unthink- ing, that of preventing mans engage ments from conflicting; but practical ex- perience teaches differently, and when Mir Depew found himself engaged at three different places during the same hours of the same evening, he was more than will ing to have his wife take possession and straighten things for him once more. She is constant aid to him in many other a,l +la .T, srI, sl,a private telephone-between his office and her suite of rooms-sounds, is evidence of the important part that she plays in his business as well as domestic affairs
 In addition to her duties as secretary which include the receiving and acknowl- edging of all, Mir. Depew's invitations land it must be remembered that these amount often to several hundred week.. as well as the care of all his personal mail, Mrs. Depew personally superintends the educa- tion, reading and recitatiOns of her son, and of her two little orphan nieces; is her own housekeeper, and yet, with all this, finds opportunity to continue her studies in German and French, and to practice daily. Besides being n most proficient pianist, Mrs. Depew sings very well. Her voice is contralto and sweet in quality.
 Mrs. Depew is rarely met ill society, as she has been in almost constant mourning for number of years past, and her many occupations now completely occupy her time. She is a woman who believes that woman's first duty lies in the home life and home cares.
 Publicly her charitable work is not much; privately it is excessive As presi- dent of the Ladies' Hahnemann hospital association of New York, the has a con siderable amount of board and committee work to accomplish, and bears the reputa- tion of being the mos: successful suhscrip- tion raiser ill the city. She feels great in terest in the welfare of young girls and l women who are earning their Ev-lihOOds, and that this interest is well known among such classes is evidtnt from the number of girls who seek her aS7istaure and advice, and to them she is very accessible.

HOW EERNEHARDT DIR ESSES.
She Wears Tights and No Extra
 Gathers.
From the Toronto Ma

From the Toronto Maill
 Mme Bernhardt uses very little make up. She never wears wig save as Cleo patra where the heavy ornaments would pull and destroy her own hair. She never touches her eyebrows, which are of the same reddish color as her tresses. On her arms, neck and superb shoulders she spreads thick soft cream, brought-as all her cosmetiques are-from Paris, and then powders them freely. Her eyes are touched with blue black color, which increases their almond shape, and she brushes her cheeks, chin and even her nose with the slightest touch of rouge, which she puts thickly on her ears. She is much more careful about her mouth, which she tints with little brush dipped in carmine.
 Between every act Bernhardt gargles her throat with preparation of her own and washes her hands to prevent them from swelling. She has very dainty hands and feet, and there is no longer any need to muffie up her neck in those high collars made fashionable by her. All the hollows are filled out and Bernhardt's figure is superb. She wears no underskirts, simply princess undergarment of pink silk, a sort of combination garment, which fits closely to the figure, and is without neck or sleeves. Over this the draperies are arranged with safety and jewelled pins; a scarf or ceinture of diamonds and ame- thysts and sometimes only a wide ribbon sash is wound tightly around the hips never about the waist-and these cein. lures define perfectly her 1.-the, supple fig ure.

enough to allow the pony to get under, but not the rider, touch it and return. If the pony is stopped too soon the Indian loses time in touching the log; if too late he gets scraped of. The sudden jerking of the pony on its launches is apt both to start curbs and break his knees.
 The toughness and strength of the pony can scarcely be exaggerated. He will live through winter that will kill the hardest cattle. He worries through the long months when the snow has covered up the bunch-grass on a diet of cottonwood boughs, which the Indian cuts down for him; and in the spring it takes but a few weeks for him to SCOUT out into splendid condition. He can go unheard-of dis tances. Colonel R. l. Dodge records an instance coming under his observation where pony carried the mail three hun dred miles in three consecutive nights, and back over the same road the next week, and kept this up for six months without loss of condition. He can carry any weight. NJ. Parkman speaks of a chief, known as Le Cochon, on account of his three hundred pounds avoirdupois, who nevertheless rode his ponies as brave ly as a man of half the bulk. He as often carries two people as one. There is sim ply no end to this wonderful product of the prairies. He works many years. So long as he will fat up in the spring his age is immaterial.
 The absence of crest in the pony sug- gests the curious query of what has be- come of the proud arching neck of his ancestor, the Barb. There are two ways of accounting for this. The Indians gag bit, invariably applied with jerk, throws up the pony's head instead of bringing it down, as the slow and light application of the school curb will do, and this tends to develop the ewe-neck. Or a more suffi- cient reason may be found in the fact that the starvation which the pony annually undergoes in the winter months tends to deplete him of every superfiuous ounce of flesh. The crest in the horse is mostly meat, and its annual depletion has finally brought down the pony's neck nearer to the outline of the skeleton. IL was with much ado that the pony held on to life during the winter: he could not find enough food to flesh up a merely orna- mental appendage like q crest The Moors and Arab> prize the beauty of the high arehed neck and breed for it, and their steeds are Well f,-d.

ALAMO OF WONDERS.

No more striking facts will appear in the new census than those showing the growth of the new South. People have been accustomed to think of the West as the place for "booms." but the South can show some remarkable specimens of them. For instance, Anniston, Alabama, in 1880 was reported as having 942 people; in 1890 it reports 9,S76. Birmingham, Alabama, was not down on the lists at all in 1870; in 1880 it reported 3,0S6, and in 1890, 26, IFS, and is indeed the center of a district alive with industrial enterprises and having a population of 75, 900 souls. The value of land in and around this city has increased at rate which is almost incredible, and one land company of that city which was incorporated with S100,000 cash capi- tai paid in five years from 1883 to 1888 over 5000 per cent. on it's cash capital, or to- tai S5,570,O00, and now has property worth probably$ ,000, ,00O. Sheffield in 1885 hardly existed, while in 1S90.it had 2,73e inhabitants and will soon have 5000. Chattanooga had population of 12, S92 in 1880 and 29, 100 in 1890. Little Rock had 13, 139 in 1880 and 25, ,S74 in 1890. Knox. vile increased from 9,693 in 1880 to about 10000 in 1890. Middleborough, Kentucky had no name and no inhabitants two years ago, but to-day she has close upon 5,00( people and some of the most gigantic en terprises of modern times. Roanoke, Vir ginia, which does not appear at all in the census of 1880, is now city of 1915 in habitants. This is the nothern gateway o1 southwest Virginia, which has developed as one of the most important coal and iror ore fields of the United States Atlanta Georgia, which may be termed the metrop oils of the new South, according to tht census of 1880, contained 37 ,409 inhabi tants, and in 1890 65, ,533, an increase of T per cent.
 These things indicate what is going o1 in the new South. By and by everybody who is entitled to vote there will be al 1o, 4c
