Very few years ago nothing wonld

thinness, either plain or engraved with
ornamental designs, but now we have
returned to the heavy faceted decanters
and goblets, which we Were brought up
to despise. Which is the stricter taste;
Undoubtedly that which we have just
discarded for the special quality of glass,
which can be rivaled in no other mate
rial, is its transparency and capacity for
being blown into exceeding lightness,
When cut into facets, the former quality
is impaired, the latter is not displayed,

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Generalizations I'm Regard to State Anairs
which Are of Interest
The report of the Commissioners OF ln-
dustrial Statistics Is nearly ready to pre-
sent 20 the General Assembly. Commits
sioner Tiepke is taking hold OF the work
IN earnest The report promises to be OF
great interest.
Gov. Browns annual message to the
General Assembly is being completed ana
will deal with several important meas
ures now before the people.
There Is not likely To bd any delay In
+at,nv mn the state house matter in the
General Assembly. AT what time In the
session 1t will come up depends OF course
on the General Assembly Itself. Inc
nresent commission has done It's Work
we'll and will in all probability be re-
appointed, as Gov. Brown is not know n
TO have shown any opposition to any OF
MIR. TiepNe OF Pawtucket speaks very
encouragingly of the outlook for the he-
publicans in that city, as indica ed in the
registration. he thinks IT STANDS weil III
their favor,
People who know anything about
United States Supervisor Blodgett are
very much amused at the attempt TO
show that he is engaged in some "gi1an-
tic conspiracy against the voters.
He has about completeu very hhe
list of the registry voters in Paw
tucket and Providence, which will be
OF use to him in performing mis- duties at
the election for congressman in the
spring, at whatever time the General AS
sembly orders it. His duties under the
Uuited States statutes are quite clear.
The General Assembly will get to work
on the 3lst. After that date things will
be lively around the old state house
again.
1T is rather difficult to estimate the
proportion of the registration in this city
yet,n says Assistant Secretary Cady. OF
the Republican City Co nmittee, but
Providence Republicans have not been
slow. OF the 1000 or more additional
property voters great many who might
have been Democrats when they were
registry voters will not feel disposed to
vote against their lit rests now tnat they
have more at stakt, aud a good propor-
uoa OF them will vote the Republican
ticket.

The Greatest Compliment.

One wet, foggy, muddy day, a little
girl was standing on side of street in
London, waiting for an opportunity to
cross over. Those who have seen Lon
don streets on such a day, with their wet
and mud, and have watched the rush Of
cabs, hansoms, omnibuses, and carriages,
will not wonder that the little girl should
be afraid to make her way through such
a babel as that.
Some of the passers by looked careless,
some were in haste, and she did not find
the one she sought, until at length an
aged man, rather tall and spare, and Of
grave yet kindly aspect, came walking
down the street. Looking in his face, she
seemed to see i'm him the one for whom
she had been waiting, and she went up 10
him and whispered timidly:
Please, sir, will you help me over?"
The old man saw the little girl safely
across the street, and when he afterwards
told the story he said, {" That little girls
trust was the greatest compliment l ever
had In my life"
That man was Lord Shaftesbury. He
received honors at the hands of a mig hty
nation; he was complimented with the
freedom OF the greatest city on the globe;
he received the honors conferred by
royalty; but the greatest compliment he
ever had in his life was when that little
unknown girl singled him out In the
jostling crowd OF . London street, and
dared to trust him, stranger though be
was, to protect and assist her.

Young Girls and Jewels.

IL is in America alone that the matter
OF Jewels would be likely TO come up for
consideration in young girls toilet.
Excepting astring of small pearls or some
dainty brooch miniature affixed to band
Of velvet around the throat, ornament OF
the kind is almost unseen in full dress
among the really we'll bred people here
tofore alluded to. Indeed, II has been re-
Gently a fashion amounting to fad
among girls fortunate in round, white,
we'll covered necks and throats, to omit
every vestige OF jewelry on the person
land to have no ornament in the hair,

suffered TO nestle in those silken soli-
tudes). Cheap jewelry, mssquerading in
the guise Of real; the thousand and one
bow knots and Rhinestone pins, and false
enamel trinkets that now glitter In the
shop windows their adoption among
maid servants and shop girls-are no
doubt responsible for the forsaking OF
much that IL fascinating and appropriate
