GREAT
PAINTINGS.

For centuries brilliant artist
have been painting beautiful pic
lures, and the best of these pic
lures are carefully preserved by
wealthy people in their mansions,
or by governments and cities in
public buildings. They form the
great attractions to many of the
old world cities, and can all be
seen only by much travelling and
at great expense.
AS outlined below, lover of
pictures conceived the idea of plac.
ing these delights of the eye with.

and the result is the beautiful art

with another fabric and one Of a differ

side next the hand, as a frill Of black
sacking faced inside with cerise velvet
or satin like that used for the collar and
belt.
When finished, the ruifie is only two
inches wide The outer edges are first
sewed together, then turned and stitched
on the outside. The frill is attached tc
the sleeve by two rows Of stitching, and
the sleeve is faced with a band of silk.
That the hand may pass through the frill
easily it is well to leave the outer seam
of the sleeve open space Of two inches
and close it by two hooks and loops. The
rutfie is also left open u slight distance
beyond the sleeve, but the edges should
meet closely to preserve the circular ap-
paurance,

Another That General Clarks0n Will

Dies MONIES, Jan. 10.-There are two
new rumors afoat in regard to the SEN
storial fight. One is that the friends of
General J. s. Clarkson, now in New
York, will spring his name before the
final fight comes. The second is that
Senator James F. Wilson will resign
Immediately, as his health is very poor.
and that Governor Jackson, as soon as
inaugurated, will appoint Mr..
Gear to fill the vacancy. This
would, of course, include the. with
drawal Of Gear from the present con-
test. The latter rumor is more apt TO
develop into something serious than the
former, as Mr.. Clarkson has repeatedly
written to his friends that he has no
desire to re-enter politics. In fact he
will not do so under any circumstances,
as he. is engrossed in business. If Gear
should be withdrawn, as suggested,
there remain five candidates in the field,
and it would become a hard struggle
between them. - -

Old Johns Translation.

Every one in Boston knows of old
John the Orangeman, that picturesque
and almost historical parsonage who
presides over the affections of all Har-
ward men. And every one who knows
John knows also that his life's motto is
that familiar phrase which expresses
briefly and to the point the wish that
Yale may be forever relegated to the re-
gion Of sorrow and perpetual darkness.
One afternoon strangers were walk
ing through the yard at Harvard, and
on every hand they saw the college seal
bearing this motto, " Christie ct Eccle-
sie. sd
Not being ON speaking terms with
Cicero, Caesar and the other Romans,
this did nothing but to arouse their cue
riosity.
Finally they met John.
u sayr' said one of the visitors. "I
see these words everywhere. Can you
tell me what they meant"
John looked carefully at the Latin i'm
sciption, bit his pipe little harder and
then replied gravely:

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The senate,
on motion of Senator German, went into
executive session. Nothing aside from
routine business was done up to the time
of the secret session. Senator Chandler
made an unsuccessful attempt to call up
his Hawaiian resolution, and Senator
Gray gave notice that he would call up

afternoon.
