Mrs. Lowe, wife OF Robert Lowe, after
ward Niscount Sherbrook, was a tremen-
dous partisan whenever her husband was
concerned. After the reform bill of 1867
Disraeli and the Loves made no pretense
to any mutual liking. Atadinner once at
Lady Waldegrave's, the guests had all
paired off till only Disraeli and Mrs. Lowe
were left. With his inscrutable smile and
complete appreciation OF the humor of the
situation, Dsraeli bowed and extended his
arm, ~ suppose there's no help for it, Mrs.
Love-" when both burst into hearty laugh

IT Is said that President Cleveland
has about completed his message to
Congress which meets next Monday.
Secretary Carlisle was telegraphed to
and won't to Buzzard's Bay last night
To help the President give it the finish
ing touches. 1t Is said the message
will be devoted entirely to financial
questions all others being left for sub
Sequent communications to Congress
by Mr.. Cleveland. This announce
ment is not of very reassuring char.
acter to the business OF the country az
finances though disturbing factor,
is not the only question that will bring
the needed relief. From present ap,
pearances there will be no substantial
agreement upon the settlement of the
financial problem: and whether tbs
simple repeal OF the Silver Purchase
Act will do harm or good is debata
bic question.
There is one thing, however, that Il
the President had the independence t
40 would settle the business OF tn,
country on a prosperous basis. II h,
would, by a communication to Con
gress, let the nation know that III,
present tariff would not be interferee
with as far as no is concerned, tn,
wheels OF industry would be imnedl

factories would resume, unemployed

The financial situation is but a droI

country compared with the fear o
manufacturers that the tariff is to b.
interfered with.

The throwing of the slipper after the
bride comes apparently from barbarous
times, when the relations OF man and wife
were really very much akin to those of
master and slave. for it seems that the shoe
was an emblem of authority, and at an
Anslo-Saxon marriage u shoe was given by
the brides father to her husband in token
of transference of power over her, the
groom usually indicating his appreciation
of that fact by tapping his new wife lightly
on the head with it.-New York Sun.
