A GOOD PRESIDENT.

To-day one of the wisest, most truly
patriotic and most efficient presidents this
country has ever had will go out of Office.
He goes out in the enjoyment of the favor
and the approval of the psople, with
the hearty endorsement of his own
party and III ereepect of his politi-
cal opponents. The White House has
been house of honor and worthy fame
to him, as we'll as a house of deep dis
appointment and crushing affiiction.
When he went into 1t We heard good
deal about "Grsndfather's Hat" AS he
goes out it will be recognized that he is
fully entitled to walk hereafter under his
own hat.
The administration which ends to day
has been a peculiarly clean, honest aud
dignifed one. The President has most in
dustriously and we'll done his duty. And
his perception of what his duty vas has
been clear. prompt aud just. He has held
the flag high. He has made every possible
effort to increase the commercial prosper
ity of the country. He has shown great
tact and decision in diplomatic affairs.
On the whole, his appointments to Office
have been made with great skill and true
regard for the public welfare. Es-
pecially has this been the case in
his selection of judges. He has been
working president. We are told by these
who know how things have been done at
Washington during the last four year that
President Harrison hss been in very close
touch with all departments of the public
business, thss he has wanted the public
business done right and that he has been
diligent and skillful in having it done go.
He has had able and faithful sssistants,
and the spirit of their leader has animated
and inspired them. He has had the hearty
confidence of the people, who are quick to
see what President is made of. They
have felt his efficiency and admired his
ability, good sense and modesty. When
he has gone among them they have sem q
plain, earnest American citizen, felicitous,
honest and impressive in speech and truly
Democratic In manner. And especially
have they admired his course during the
trying days just preceding the Minneapolis
convention, when he was silent and dis
Greet with every temptation not to be.
It ia a pity that such President, repre-
senting such party as he did, could not
have been kept in Office another term.
But the political kaleidoee eope was turned
and there is new arrangement. Presi-
dent Harrison may be called for again.
But if he does not happen to be his fame
will be enduring, and it will, we think,
grow with time Success to him as Pro-
| fessor, and good health, long life and
prosperity to him and his family.

Now, follow me as I describe ball toll

with silk spots The garlsnds which orna-
ment the costume were of Parma violets,
primroses and heather, rising In the mid

indicated In the engraving. The skirt was
round and had two small founces, the
upper one of which was partly hidden
by wreath of the flowers. The tafteta
skirt had also q small founce at the bot
tom, and at the top 1t was gathered, all
the fullne.s possible being thrown to-
wards the back of the skirt. The waist
was closed behind and the fastening con-
cssled by folds that start from under
meath the decollete bodice. These pleats
were fastened to tie lining and sewn In
at the came time as the lining itself I'M

had something the form of high waist

The census report of farm and home
propristorship in Massachusetts,, just is-
sued, shows that on the owned farms of
the state there are liens amounting to SILL

of their. value, and this debt bears interest
at the svsrage rate of over 81 per cent.
The mortgages on owned houses aggregate
$102, ,94S, 1875, or 45 per cent. of their value,
and the interest rate is less than 81 per
cent. The average value of the houses
is $3, 900 and the average mortgage debt
$1,797. Another interesting consideration
regarding Massachusetts mortgages is that
they are almost universally held by Msssa-
chusetts investors. Oar savings banks,
which contain the capital of the common
people, are the greatest holders of home
mortgages, but thousands of people who
have small accumulstions of money, oon-

An Egyptian dignitary of high rank has
been explaining the grievances which the
go called National party believes Egypt to
be enduring at the hands of England. He
says that the psople have not a sufficient
voics in the internal government-and
they are not permitted to be interested In
and to understand international matters
and that native Egyptians are excluded
from government employment. While
praieing some English officers, both past
and present, he declared that others acted
in a manner calculated to ALLEVIATE native
sympathy. He added that very little suf
feed to content the Egyptians, and that
England, by showing more regard for their
Wishes would gain sympathy and support
for her reforms. The rsformer's task, he
admitted, was generally thankless, and
people forgot a hundred benefits, but re-
membered even one injustice, and he then
cited several instances of hardships caused
by British departmental regulations. The
correspondent of the London Times at
Cairo, commenting upon these assertions,
says that, while the Egyptians fully sppre-
ciate the benefits they have derived from
British administration, they are utterly
unable to realizs thst all the Improvements
would vanish If the old men should resume
control Of affairs.

FASHION NOTES.
A Desirable skirt.

I have feen very pretty and practical
new skirt which gives hope of doing over
gowns for the coming style. This skirt
fits close over the hips and to about the
knee. Here a rufae constitutes the rest
of the skirt and extends to the ground.
The ruff1e Is full and has the required
flare. OF course 1t is easy enough to cut
off the old skirt at the knees and set on
a ruff1e for the cutoff part. If the gown
is of cloth the ruf1e can be of velvet or
silk. If of elk, then use a fancy silk
that harmonizes. If of fancy or printed
silk, make the ruff1e part plain color that
carries out the shade of some part of the

a NOZZLE RED MAN.

NOBLE BED MAN.
Lo the poor Indian may have an untu-
tored mind, but one Indian who hes a
stock of good common sense has come out
into the clearing. He is member of the
Chickasaw tribe. He loved and married a
dusky and dusty maiden. Beneath her
red akin was a black heart. She fell in
love with one of Uncle Sans soldiers and
eloped with him. What did the noble red
man whom shs deserted dos Did he show
the revengeful nature which Is often
called Indian. Not at all. He went after
the fleeing pair and when he came mp to
them instead of killing the despoiler of his
home he gave him $40 which he said be-
longed to the unfaithful wife. The Indian
said he would not kill man for a woman
for whom he could no longer have respect.
Contrast this action and this speech with
the ections and the speeches Of many civ
ilized snd white men who fnd themselves
In similar unpleasant predicament. They
feel obliged to kill the man in the case and
sometimes the woman too. They have re-
venge, and they have the stain of blood on
their hands. And to what goods None.
Murder doesn't blot out treachery, although
1t may blot out the traitor. It doesn't help
the avenger and it doesn't punish the
guilty. How noble and how sensible was
the course Of this red man. He had lost
the love of her who bad once "blessed
his eye." But though he had lost love he
had not lost his own honor and self-re-
epect He had no further use for woman
who would treat him so. He didn't even
think that her vile treaohery entitled him
to the $40 which she left behind in her
hurried flight. And how he heaped Goals
of fire on the head of the man who
stole his wife by giving him the money.
He was indeed a noble and gentlemanIy
red man. The soldier must have been
somewhat lacking In knightly quality to be
willing to take such treatment from an
Indian.
The discouraging thought strikes US that
perhaps the red man was not really as no.
BILE as he seemed. Perhaps he was glad to |
get rid of his squaw and hoped that the
$40 would help the soldier to get further |
away with her. But this Is an ignoble idea. |
We prefer to look upon this poor Chicka- |
saw as man who could be and was noble |
and honest in the most trying situation a
man can find himself in. A white soul
may bs inclosed in red ekin, and an In |
dian who Is not reyenQeful is possibility.
