Real Lace Revived,

Real lace is once more coming into ia
vor and into use, after long repose in
scented Golfers and blue wrappers. 1t will
not be possible in this hurrying and
variable age to reinculcate the rever-
ence Unborn in our grandmothers, who
treasured up fine Mechlin ruftles and
lappets of old needlepoint as heirlooms;
still, any step is good in the right direc-
tion-that which leads away from sham
of every kind. 1t is always the chic
thing to say you love old lace, but unless
your finger tips are thrilled when they
come in contact with it, unless your
whole body tingles with covetousness
and your eyes grow dark with envy,
unless you would give up a new gown
to add a single piece to your collection,
yours is a spurious passion and not the
real thing. World.

Sun-Baths.

A medical sun-bath is taken under a
slky-light or window placed sloping in
the roof. 1t is important that the suns
rays should reach directly so as to slim
ulate the vital process of the body.
Every one knows that exposure to the
sun will produce tan and freckles
through the stimulus of the pigment
cells, making an unusual amount of
coloring matter. In the human body
color is needed for the hair and eyes, to
give the bile its golden color, and to
stain the blood corpuscles red It's the
coloring matter which enables the
blood corPuscles to carry their large
loads of oAy gen to every part. A sun
bath is very beneficial by giving us
darker blood and better blood cor
puscles, with persons who are sensitive
to sunlight. it is well to protect the
head, for the suns rays sometimes cause
nausea in nervous invalids. DIR. j. II.

A Ball, a Doll, and a Man,
Prof. Henry Drummond.

Prof Henry Drummond.
A great steamer had started from
London to Sydney. Among the
passengers was a little boy and his
sister. One day the boy lost his ball
overheard; he rushed to the captain,
begging him to stop the ship and get
it, The captain laughed and told
him it would never do to stop a
steamship for the sake of ball. The
boy argued a little and grumbled a
good deal, and told his sister that he
believed the reason the captain did
nNt stop the ship was because he could
not; he believed it was wound up
some way, so it would have 60 keep
going until it ran down, or else he
would never have left great, splen-
did rubber ball like that in the ocean.
Two days afterwards the little girls
dollie fell overheard. She ran crying
to the captain to beg him to stop the
steamer.
"That won't do any good" her
brother shouted after her; she can't
stop it. Don't you know about my
Dallw
But the little girl made her pitiful
prayer to the captain, who ran to the
engine room, peeped down, and saw
the dolliswithin reach
"Wait a minute" he said to the
little girl, and the ship went steadily
on its way but in few minutes the
captain came back with the dolie
safe in his arms, all dripping with
salt waters but safe.
Only the next day there went a cry
over the deck of the steamer "Man
overboardw Instantly bell rang
in the engine room, short, sharp
orders were given and obeyed, and
the great ship stood still in mid-ocean,
wn,Ie the life>boat was launched and
slipped out after the drowning man.
Then there was one very much aston
ished boy on board.
AS soon as the steamer reached
Sydney, or as soon as possible the
boy received a handsome new ball
from the captain, with a note express
ing his regret that he could not ac-
commOdate his passenger, and stoI
the ship to get the one left in the
ocean.
Thus in different ways God answer,
our prayers. The captain thought il
not best to stop his great ship for the
sake of ball, yet the boy received
from him in due time a newer and
better one than he had lost. 1t was
not necessary to stop the ship in or
der to answer the little girls prayer
she begged him to do it, but, thai
was because she did not understand
his power to save the dollie without
the thing she prayed for she received
though not in the way she asked
Yet the moment came, when, be
cause human life was in peril, ever
, the great engine had to be silenced
; and the course Of the steame
changed, and the captain had powe
to do it.

VIRGINIA HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

We advanced the suggestion recently that
tho general welfare Of this community would
be very sensibly promoted by the establish
ment of lyceum in which course Of lee
lures covering a variety of topics-economcs,
politics. literature and art-might be delivered
annually by men invited from the body OF
our own citizens as well as from abroad. We
are pleased to know that this suggestion has
met with public favor, which confirms US in
the belief that if the proposed course were
lnaugurated it would not lack for popular
support.
The only obstacle in the way ofthe consumma-
ton of the schemes unfortunately one ofavery
serious character namely, the expense which
would be entailed in placing it upon a sound
footing in the beginning. This, however, isnot
an insuperable obstacle if the proper degree
Of energy is exhibited by those Interested IN
overcoming it, We have reason to anticipate
that a charter will be obtained by the end
oflthe present year with view Of establish
ing an association Of the kind to which we
have referred, and this association will, If ami
mated by tho proper spirit, carry out all the
objects of the proposed lyceum.
In this connection a second suggestion may
be advanced which embodies plan of sim
liar character. but one which will be perhaps
considered rs being more within the range OF
practicability.
The inestimable services which our Histori-
cal Society has performed in collecting and
preserving so many Of the records of Viz
ginia might be further extended by the So
ciety adopting a resolution looking TO the de-
livery of several lectures each year on sub
iects that bear close relation to the objects
for which the Society was organized These
lectures should be delivered in public hall,
thrown open at small charge to all OF our
citizens. The roll Of the Society contains
many names of the highest distinction, and
it would not therefore, be necessary in select
ing lecturers to go outside of its list of men,
bership. This, however, would be within the
discretion of the Society.
If the society were to inaugurate such
course Of public addresses it would not only
promote warmer interest among our people
in the history of Virginia and cultivate
more active literary spirit in this city, but We
believe that it would advance the prosperity
of the Society itself 10y widening the scope of
it's operation, and thus attracting the atten-
ton and enlisting the sympathy of large
number of persons in this community and in
the State who are now indifferent TO its very
existence
Under the presidency Of Hon. William Writ
Henry, whose natural tastes and historical
name have led him to a careful study of the
annals Of Virginia, we expect to see the
Society begin a new career of honor and use
fulness. The gentlemen associated with him
in the active management of the Society are
all men Of high reputation. The suggestion
which We have thrown out is one that is de-
serving Of attention. and we trust that it will
be favorably entertained by the Society if not
rendered unwise by objections Of which we
are not now aware.

CLEVELAND AND NEW YORK.

That Mr. Cleveland is the decided choice of
the Democracy of the country for the next
Democratic presidential nomination there is
little reason to doubt; that he is certainly the
choice of the rank and file of the Democracy
of Virginia was cOnclusiyey shown by the
interview with representative Democrats
throughout the State, recently published in
THE Times. The opposition of the Hill ee-
ment in his own State, however, seems to be
as vigorous as ever, notwithstanding the uni
versaly expressed hope that the election of
Governor Hill to the United States Senate
would harmonic all factions, 50 that the
party might present solid and unanimous
front at the nominating convention.
If the internal dissentions in Democratic
ranks in New York State are not healed be-
fore the meeting of the convention the result
will be 50 decided change in the heretofore
anticipated programme as TO amount almost
to revolution. 1t seems quite likely that
Governor Hill may be able. if he is SO deter
mined, 10 defeat Mr.. CIeveland's nomination
without securing his own. In other words, it
is almost q settled fact that il Mr.. Cleveland
Is not the nominee of the party New York will
not supply the next presidential standard
bearer
In that event the Democracy will naturally
turn to the West. and some good man who
has the confidence Of his party will be Sc
lected for the head of the ticket, and it may
be that the South will DO honored with the sec.
ond place. If this is done New York will
cease to be regarded as the pivotal State upon
which the result will turn, and the East will
hereafter have to take back seat.
This will only be accomplishing few years
earlier than was expected what is certain to
be effected in the near future, and that is a
political union between the West and South.
These two sections are natural allies; their
interests are identical, aud their political
future dependent upon their working
together. Both are largely agricultural. and
both are, therefore. naturally opposed 10 the
present tariff system, which levies heavy
taxes mainly upon the farmers of the South
and West for the benefit and advantage Of
manufacturers and monopolists Of the East.
II would undoubtedly be wise for the De-
mocrscy in '92 to place Mr.. Cleveland in the
field as their candidate because be is the most

REV THOMAS 4. GAIIQK.

That a clergy man should experience deep
personal qualification on being advanced to
the highest dignity OF his denomination is q
fact that can only be considered with len.
ency, even if this qualification has its origin
in ambition alone. Such an elevation is q
tribute of the most exalted nature to the man.
ner in which he has performed his duty, to
his talents, to his force of character, and to
his sanctity Of life. and as such has an meal
culable value and significance from every
point Of view being as much tribute to the
man as to the minister.
1t is only natural that clergyman who has
been called by the most hatteTipg unanimity
10 a leading bishopric should be slow in de-
clining il, whatever may be the nature Of his
reluctance. When. therefore, we see this
sacred honor refused because the person to
whom it has been offered is convinced that he
should not lay down the responsibilities
which have been imposed upon him in a
narrower and humber sphere, the action ia
a noble form Of self-repression aud self
abrogatiou.
Thisis illustrated in the decision of Rev. Thos.
f. Gailor, of Suwannee who has just declined
the Episcopal bishopric of Georgia on the
ground that duty required him to continue
his connection with the university of that
name as long as he could be as useful in pro-
noting their welfare as he is now in a posi-
ton TO be.
Only q few months ago Mr. Gailor was called
to one of the largest churches in Chicago,
where he would have been assured of salary
of $40. OOO but this he declined with as much
promptness for sake of the interests Of his
university as he has now done the successor
ship TO Bishop Beckwth, Of Georgia, one of
the most important dioceses in the United
States
Mr.. Gailor has given the most convincing
evidence Of his devotion to Suwannee. and
set an example in the performance of duty in
the face of the temptations of wealth and
honor that may we'll be initiated far beyond
the pale even of his own denomination. Such
a man would confer the highest distinction
upon any institution with which his name was
associated

DEATH OF SIR JOHN MACDONALD.

To Americans, the most interesting aspect
of the death of Sir John Macdonald is not
that man Of the most distinguished rcputa-
ton has been removed forever from the pc
litical arena in which he had played SO great
part, but that his elimination as political
factor has thrown the Canadian Dominion
into a condition of dangerous confusion.
There could not be a more impressive illus
tration than this of the difference between
the spirit Of colonial or monarchical institu-
tons and the spirit of our domestic institu-
tons in the United States.
Under our system Of government no man is
essential to his country or his party, however
eminent his services or transcendent his abili-
ties. Undoubtedly the most illustrlous figure
in the Republican party to-day Is the Secre-
tary of State. He is with one exception-Mr.
Cleveland-the most illustrious figure in the
United States: and yet if the announcement
was made tomorrow that he had passed away
it would create profound sensation, but the
fact Of his death would not jeopardize the
safety of the General Government or affect
one iota the welfare of the American people.
Under monarchica institutions, or institu-
tons modelled upon the monarchical the indi-
vidual rises TO overshadowing importance.
The interests of a whole people become in
volved in the disposition of his personality
and the character of his policy. Under the
democratic, the Individual the mere creature
of the people, temporary mouthpiece whose
disappearance is only the sensation Of day.
At once a new actor steps forward to take his
place, and the drama proceeds without
pause and without confusion.
Sir John Macdonald has just died, and al
ready ominous clouds are seen upon the hori-
zon of the Canadian Commonwealth, and
these clouds will continue TO expand unless
another man of pre-eminent talents shall come
forward and seize the political sceptre that
has fallen from the hand of the dead states
man. Admitting the charge Of Alexander
Hamilton, that democracy is great beast,
there is at least this consolation in this fact,
that if the great beast rends himself, he alone
inficts the injury, and not the tongue or the
sword Of O master.

a Degenerate Age.


In giving passing glance at the ways Of
social life we see marked differences IN the
manners of the youth from those Of even less
than fifty years ago. Many remember when
for a Virginia girl to engage In round dance
of any kind was considered as running count
er 10 a sense of proprlety existing throughout
the State and the young men themselves were
SO imbued with n sense Of disapprobatlon
that engagements for marriage were known TO
have been cancelled on account OF the young
lady betrothed having imprudently engaged
in round dance upon ballroom floor.
How is it now? For n young lady to
ask young gentleman visiting her % call
again or express a desire to have him do so,
wasa thing that might be done by the aunt or
mother. but not by the young lady OF the
house. How is it now A young gentleman.
in the olden days, asked a lady il smoking in
her presence was disagreeablet to her. She re-
piled that she did not know as no gentleman
had ever done so. How is it now When

allowed it to linger there not moment longer

Where Columbus First Landed.
baltimore Americana


1t is not likely that any startling historical
results will follow from the expedition which
a Chicago newspaper has just sent out from
New York 10 determine the exact spot on
which Columbus first landed. As guide the
yoyagers have copy of what is left of Column
bus record OF the voyage; but as the dlscoy-
erer of this land was far more interested in
finding the Indies by new route than he
was in keeping books. the record Is not OF
very great value nor is its geographical in
formation very accurate. The Chicago party
propose to start from one Of the Bahamas.
and sail as nearly as possible over
the same course that Columbus took,
and if they finally agree that
they have hit the spot on which Columbus
first landed they propose b erect there q
monument in his honor As historians and
geographers have selected at least five islands
as the original San Salvador, the Chicago
people will have an abundant collection from
which to choose, and perhaps can do no
better than 10 put up a monument on each
one Of them The man who discovered
America is worthy of at least five shafts in
his honor. but it would be better, we think,
to put them up in this country than on spots
where few Will ever see them
