only one part OF a worldwide move
ment at which we may only wonder,
not fathom. Nor are there historic
gowns in any period more beautiful
than the stately robes Of Queen Caro-
line and princess of Lucca and Pom
bino, with their remarkable trains
falling from the very shoulderblades
and their rich embroidery, and the
white satin ball dress of the jolly Wash
erwoman-Duchess herself. They are
charming, repeat. and the dressmak-
ers study them with their eyes and
wish for chalk and tape for further in
ouiry. Tea gowns and ball gowns and
dinner gowns in Empire modes we may
have-but there stop. The street is not
for such.
The French modistes who make cor
sets in this country apply these rules:
Hook your corset, madam, draw 1t
as snug as feels comfortable and stand
upright. Rest upon the balls Of the
feet. Bring the chin forward in a
straight line with the toes. Expand
the chest and take long breath. II
now the corset fits right in front, the
bust will protrude just as far as the alb
domen, and the corset viii expand and
contract as madam draws her breath. =
For the hip the French woman says:
"Seat yourself with corset hooked
and laced as for wearing. Raise your
arms as if TO adjust your hair, lower
them. Repeat several times. Now
drop your handkerchief upon the floor
in front OF you, again at the right side,
and the left, and little back OF you.
Pick it up every time. Now settle
yourself and see how the corset feels.
The chances are that IL is pressing In
at the hips and is cutting under the
arms. This means that it is too long
at the sides under the arms and that
the hip boring Is too stiff. Poor corset
makers remedy breakable hips by put

the Alexandria Leader, a weekly pa
per published by the colored element
In that city. Then there are Rev. DR..
Alex Crummell, who recently retired
from the ministerial work in Washing
ton after fifty years service; Rev. DR..
Walter Brooks, the pastor of the
Nineteenth Street Baptist church, the
largest colored church here; and
Rev. DR.. J. T. Jennifer, the able pastor
of the Metropolitan A. NJ. E. church,
the leading colored church of that de-
nomination in the country.
In addition to the Washington COM
tingent, Rev. DR.. William b. Der
riciks, of New York, secretary of the
home and foreign missionary depart
ment, has been favorably spoken Of in
connection with the chaplaincy, as well
as other able divines from various Sec
tons of the country. The colored press
throughout the country is clamoring
for this place as a recognition of service
rendered, and as each paper has its
own candidate, there Is no solidarity
among them, and the colored brethren
may lose their selected plum.
The position of chaplain pays 5000
salary with other perquisites- Since the
law passed by the Forty-third congress
making the Office salaried one, there
have been some spirited contests for the
place. 1t is the duty of the chaplain to
open the sessions Of the house with
prayer each morning. The prayers of
tie chaplain are usually of two minutes
duration, and frequently other clergy
men are designated by the chaplain of
the house to ohiciate.
In the earlier days of the house Of
representatives, divines from all parts
Of the country were chosen by ma

so deeply from the fountain of knowl-
edge. From his earliest boyhood he
had a marked intellectual tendency,
and, instead of devoting himself to
business, he has preferred to lead q
scholarly life of investigation and re-
search. His learning has grown with
his years instead of becoming rusty
from disuse. He is by nature skep-
teal His intellect is of the receptive
order, cold, impasSive and self-sus-

himself.

jority vote to act as chaplains and they
were compensated at the close of the
session by joint resolutions of both
houses. In those days there were no
struggles for the Office and frequently
those who were selected declined the
honor. For instance, in the Ninth con-
gress, during the Van Buren, admins
trntion, Rev. William Bentley. of Sa-
lem, Mass, was chosen by unanimous
vote to be chaplain. but he notified the
speaker of his refusal to accept the
honor. Rev. William Parkinson was
then selected. bat he also declined, and
Rev. James Laurine was chosen and
served during the first session of that
congress
The fight for the place in the coming
congress promises 10 be the most inter

are aspirants to the place have begun

ceived passing attention. But why Mr.
Vanderbilt is a scholar, or whether he
ds really a scholar and not pedant, or
what sort of intellectual attainment
has caused him to be deemed scholar
at all. are things concerning which
even those who know him well possess
very little information. And the reason
for this is manifest. Young Mr.. Van
derbilt never alludes to his attachments.
His conversation is not garnished with
encvclopedic lore. Ee carefully re-
trains from subjecting his fellow crea-
lures to the fatiguing process of re-
ceiving information. In truth, all who
hare met Mr.. Vanderbilt have noticed
that he is somewhat reticent. But his
reticence is of that encouraging kind
of which good listeners are made and
it never relapses into tacitn-nity.
Yet he is a wonder of scholarship,
This George w. Vanderbilt. He is, to
begin with, master of eight languages,
English, French, German, Italian,
Spanish, Latin and ancient and mod
ern Greek He has, moreover, toler-
uble acquaintance with Hebrew and
Sanscrit. He has studied the dialects
of the Indian tribes of America and he
knows how to converse with the deaf
and dumb in their pantomiIne. But
philology is by no means his favorite
study 1t is to philosophy that most of
Mr.. Vanderbilt's time is devoted. He
has one of the finest private libraries
on this branch of intellectual re-
search in the world, probably. He
reads his philosophy in the originals
