| ed plumage of position or wealth,
turn coldly away from yet other souls,
masquerading in rags, or clothed upon
with lives of toll. For what reason,
pray? Yet few years, and the bor-
rowed vesture of whatever kind will
all be laid aside; and the question
! that will be asked of every one will be
not "What didst thou wear?" but
"What didst thou dO?' Aristocra-
cies? There is but one aristocracy-
that of worth. Royalties? There is
but one rOyalty-that of intellect.
~
The talk was about the politeness
with which women were uniformly
treated by Southern gentlemen, and a
Northern lady was instituting some
very unfavorable comparisons between
the North and South in that respect.
'The North is my country and love
/ it,u she said earnestly, "but little at
tention is paid to courtesy there. In
the street cars women get seats if they
can, but if they can't they stand up
and hang on to the straps, while the
men keep the seats. How different it
is here! l have never seen lady
standing in the cars in Texas while
any man had seat, and those little
courtesies seem almost part of the
daily life in this country. They are
very beautiful if they are Southern"
w
And then the old woman with the
heavy market basket paid the highest
tribute to Southern chivalry tina
could be paid in mere language, of
whatsoever kind. "You may talk
about politeness,n she said, "an'.
hope you won't mind my speaking up,
but L couldn't help hearin' an wantin'
TO say somethin'. POliteness is all
very Well-any man can be polite to
young an beautiful an fine dressed !
ladies like you. 1t 'ud be a poor kind |
of man that wouldn't do you favor
when he could. But nobody but a
real, true gentleman is goin' out of his
way to be polite to old, poor
shabby dressed woman, with gray
hair an dim eyes, an hard, wrinkled |
eyes. An tell you that l find such
every day-gentleman that helps me
over crossings, an into an out of cars,
an passes up my fare for me. Not al
ways dressed fine though-bless you,
no!-but gentlemen, however they're
dressed. Oh yes! the country's full of
'emW And with a smile of pride in
the country that claimed such gentle
men, the old woman took up her
basket and went on her way:

The house of representatives spent
another mOnotOnous day in the dis.
cussiOn Of the rules, and it is now evil
dent that the first two months Of the
session will close with the rules of
procedure Of the fifty-second congress
still under consideration. The pro-
gress made today was very slight, but
it was marked by one significant event
the adoption Of the amendment pro.
posed by Mr. Dingley of the Republi-
can side and supported by eX-Speaker
Reed. This amendment, too, is one
of the most important thus far pro.
posed to the committees report, as it
provides that all senate amendments
to house bills, other than appropria-
ton bills, be considered as soon as laid
before the house by the speaker.
This is considered an important step
towards practical expedition legisla-
ton, and no stronger evidence of the
disposition to consider the rules in a
nOn-partisan spirit could be afforded
than in the general support which
the amendment of Messrs. Dingley
and Reed today received from the
Democratic side. The pending mo-
ton this morning was that by Boat
per, striking out the clause permitting
the general legislation on appropria-
ton bills. The previous question was
ordered and the motion defeated.
On motion of Mr.. Enloe an amend
ment was adopted providing that all
bills shall be introduced by present
ing them to the clerk properly endors-
ed and they shall be appropriately
referred by the Speaker.
Immediately following this the mo-
ton of Mr.. Dingley of Maine, refer
red to above, was agreed to. After
some minor debate the House adj
journed.

Thackeray has always been espec-
tally dear to this Home Corner for his
genuineness. No matter what kind
of garb man wore, it was the man
that Thackeray respected, and not
the texture of the cloth or of the hon.
ors he wrapped around himself. No
man had truer love for worth. or q
greater contempt for shOddy. 1t was
in his Book of Snobsu he said:
81 believe such words as fashion,
able, exclusive, aristocratic. and the

honest vocabularies. A court system

TEN. A society that sets up to be po-
lite and Ignores arts and letters I
hold to be a snobbish society. You
who despise your neighbors are a
snob; you who forget your own friends
meanly to follow after those of a
higher degree are a snob: you who
are ashamed of your poverty and
blush for your calling are a snob: as
are also you who boast of your pedi-
gree or are proud of your wealth.
This Is terribly plain English, and
yet every one Of us feels and knows If

But the poet says that when he took
his friends out to look at this pool of
clear, gray rain" they came back
with "their boots filled with water and
their mouths filled with strange
oaths," They were indignant, you
see, at having been led out to look at a
mere pond by the side of the railroad.

spsakership Pro Tenn.
lBy telegraph to the Dispatch.


WASHINGTON. ID. g.. January At is de-
fnltely settled that Speaker Crisp Will not
call the House TO order tomorrow, when
il reconvenes after the customary Ols-lst-
mas recess. The Speaker continues to I'M
prove IN health. but his recovery Is very
slow and has not yet progressed tar enough
TO make il safe for him TO leave ms room:
The Speaker has not seen any member OF
the House since the 23d of last month ex-
cept Representative Catchings, of Misss-
sippI. with whom he talked for few min
utes Yesterday. Mr.. Catchings told him
there was no necessity for his presence IN
the House while IL was engaged In tho pre-
hminary work of legislation, such as the
introduction and reference of bills. ana he
advised the Speaker TO rest tor week or
more before resuming his duties as pre-
siding officer of the House.
Nothing was said about Speaker pro
fcln., and Judge Crisp did not indicate his
preference There seems to be general
belief on the part of the Democratic mem-
bers that Mr.. Mcmillan, of Tennessee,
should be selected as Speaker pro TEN.
There has been talk of caucus tonight
TO select q vice-Speaker to be elected when
the House reassembles tomorrow, but o
number of influential members said to-day
that they saw no necessity for caucus,
and that none would be held. An enort
will be made to-day TO ascertain the
Speakers wishes with reference to ms tenn
porary successor. and custom has made
the Speakers preference almost a deter"
mining factor IL such cases.

socinted Press reporter in his cell in muir
dersr's row at the county jail. The Doctor
talked freely and denied absolutely that he
had made a confession of any sort to the
two deputies who took him from the
courtroom after conviction TO prison, and
consequently denied that he had made
any charges whatever against Colonel Bal
lou. MS former counsel at Providence.
Everything which these deputies have
said regarding this alleged confession
Graves denies. One OF the deputies afiirrns
the correctness of his story. and the other
will neither affirm nor deny. Ballou lett

verdict was rendered and his friends say
he went openly and not secretly. No waI-
rants for Ballou's arrest have been issued,
but the grand jury IS now IN session.
Mrs. Ballou is here and Is quite Ill. but has
not gone insane, as was FIRST reported.
Mrs Dir. Graves has Mt times since the yer-
diet been out of her head and to-day mas

about the Doctors being. hung. Her re-
latives in Providence have been sent for TO
take charge of her. The Doctors gray
haired mother is Frustrated by grief at her
hotel, but bears the trouble with greater
fortitude than the Doctors wife. 1t has been
