prospect Of one day becoming q mem
Der Of the Cabinet. He was already q
member of the House of Commons
and Privy Councillor.
MARRIED, BUT NOT MATED.
For time all went well or fairly
well. They were married in 1872,
Tennyson sent the bride on her bridal
day basket of snowdrops which he
had gathered for her with his own
hands. In 1874 Lady Henry, then
twenty-three years of age, became the
mother Of boy, her only child, in
whom she found some consolation for
disappointment of an uncongenial
marriage. Lord Henry had few tastes
in common with his wife. That, how
ever, would only have resulted in the
usual wretchedness of an unhappy mar
riage, but for the fact that he was ad-
dicted to practices the pursuit of which
is incompatible even with the large
laxity of the English aristocratic
life.
The result was that the law courts
pronounced the mother the guardian
of the boy, an amicable separation was
arranged and Lord Henry, after q brief
attempt to pose as martyr in Eng
land, retired to maintain the state OF
decIasse English peer on handsome al
lowance from his wife's fortune. There
is no need to enter into any further
particulars beyond saying that the
whole pitiable story was heard IN cam
era, thar the exposure ended his career
and that although Lord Henry is still
said to keep up some show as leader
of the exiled English in Florence be is
socially and politically as dead as his
his younger brother Arthur, who some
years latter, at the time of tine Cleye-
land street scandle found it advisable
to disappear.
MOTHER AND SON.
On one thing Lady Henry may,
however, congratulate herself and that
is her son. 1t is common failacy
among the fashionable that public
work, occupying say one hour, incapa- ]
citates woman for the duties of 6
much more than private
dissipatiod' that consumes six hours.
Lady Henry has never neglected her /!
duties as mother in the discharge Of
her more public functions. Her son, q J
fine, tall, manly young fellow, who Z
combines the hunting genius of the t
Beauforts with the higher enthusiasm {
Of his mother and her father, is as de. P
voted to her as she is to him. He is a
bright, clever, kindly, high principled '
young Englishnan. Without any pas :
sionate prediction for Latin and ;,
Greek young Somers has shrewd wit
and style which, if he finds time to n
cultivate it so that he may write as
we'll as he talks, will give him a place r
n English letters. At present, in his
year, he, in company with
rood specimen of young Englishmen,
s roughing it in the unexplored regions
# the old Hudson Bay territory, in
earch of grizzlies-a pursuit which
AN hardly be regarded as indicating
my degeneration of the Badminton
train of Nimrod under the influence
f Lady Henry. That boy may have
great career If things are not made y
90 easy for him, and from that point
f view the grizzlies and the wilder W
less may be more useful to him just !, y
ow than Balliol College. q
1t is predicted that Lady Henry u
omerset will take the place left vacant
y the death of Lord Shaftesbury.-I

c SUPPRESSED.

The Congressional Record was origi-
nally started to give the people what
was done each day by their representa-
tives, but facts are suppressed as re-
ligiously by that publication as an or
binary partisan sheet. AS an illustra-
ton of that statement we relate the
following: Last spring Mr.. Bynum, or
Indiana, attended q silver convention
in Denver, Colorado, and made strong,
red hot silver speech. In the contest
over the repeal of the Sherman law he
made a rampant speech on theopposlte
side. Mr.. Pence, of Colorado, took
him severely to task about it on the
floor of the House and in a scathing
speech ripped Bynum up the back by
quoting extracts from his Denver
speech. Bynum was overwhelmed by
the attack and got up and tried to ex-
plain by saying that he had been
made 81 drunk by his entertainers that
he didn't know what he was doing"
McLaurin sung out, Yes, and you are
taking the gold cure now" What an
admission On the part of Congress!
Drunk and didn't know what he was
doing! The villainous imbecility Of
such a representative is disgusting.
Yet nothing of it appeared in the Rec
cord. Find out what your representa-
tives are really doing and don't be de-
ceived by sounding brass and a tink-
ling cymbal. Cotton Plant.

WOMEN TO VOTE IN NEW YORK

The New York and other Eastern pa
pers have made much fun of Kansas
and other Western States for allowing
women to vote. Now they are to ote
in New York, The Rural Ne1U Yorker
evidently favors the idea, as it says:
The State of New York has done more
for her women, in the way of female
suffrage, than any other in the Union
has done for hers-even Wyoming not
excepted. Next month they will be
able to exercise the very highest right
of citizenship They can vote for dele
gates to the Convention about to be
held to revise the State Constitution,
and they may be ven nominated as
delegates themselves. Never before has
such power been exercised by women
in any State in the Union. They are
also entitled to vote for school commits
sioners and to serve as such and for
some years they have enjoyed the
right to vote for school officers. If the
women of he Empire State boldly do
their duty at the polls next month,
who can for a moment doubt that a
law will soon be passed emitting them
to vote at every election held in the
foremost State of this mighty Republic?
This shows one of the many unex
pected changes of sentiment in various
sections OF our country.

cuses the Republicans of Massachusetts
of having stolen two or three planks

(Republican), and it forthwith retail
ates by arraigning the Democrats for
having taken bodily two planks tout
of the platform of the peoples party
without a word of thanks"-viz., the
referendum and the election of United
States Senators by the people. "Where
the Democratic platform shows origin
atty it reveals nothing worth borrow
