TEA TABLE TALK.

And they danced.
Yes, they danced the happy hours away.
There was the fascinating music, the
sweet perfume, the glancing OF iove-lit
eyes, the blush OF the first bloom Of
youth upon the cheeks of velvet soft
ness, the parting of rosy lips, the
shining OF pearly teeth, the superb forms,
forms which sculptor would sigh to copy,
all whirling round about with precise
step, forward and back, bowling and being
bowed to, in one grand Kaleidoscope
picture of mirth and merriment. The
scene was blaze of glory, and diamonds

Special Correspondence Of the News.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.--The cabinet
officers OF President Cleveland are not
commonly supposed to be brilliant lot,
but az one finds them, Mr.. Oiney. the
Yankee Attorney General, stands head and
shoulders above all the rest. Indeed, am
told that he really is the only advisor
who actually dominates the President. 1t
was his cue that was always taken In the
late railroad strikes, for when he said
TO the President that he wanted to
do this or TO Mr.. Lamont the head OF the
military establishment that he wanted to
do that. and that as the law officer OF the
Government he must do IL and should do
it, they all acquiesced. Mr.. Olney is the
life OF the new arbitration proposition
for labor troubles, and he has practically
made this compulsory by providing that
II contending parties will not arbitrate
their railroad, for example, shall
go into receivers hands, into the hands
of the court that is. There are traces OF
Olney in the latest financial proposition
of the President, and whatever comes OF
it, 1t is largely his. He has been the man
TO see that it is not what ought to be
done, especially in dealing with wild
team of Democratic Congressman, but
rather what can be done that must be
etriven for.

And speaking about the railroads, a
great many persons interested in railroads
are on the spot here trying to see the pool
ing bill through. 1t will be greatly for
their advantage il this passes. for of
course they can fix up rates and begin to
earn some money again. 1t was said when
the bill passed the House that 1t was
the first index of the general revulsion
against Populism. That will be said when
the bill passes the Senate. As a matter of
fact great pressure from the railroad in
terests is brought to bear to put 1t through
and the chances are that it will go. 1t is
said that the railroads of the country, and
said truthfully, no doubt, control over
half of the Senators.

There is popular chief OF the treasury
named Samuel Roads. He is chief of the
stationery division, in fact, an important
Office, which distributes s600,0O0 worth of
stationery in year for the whole treas
ury department and all its branches. He
saw picture of Henry Wilson here re-
painted by Guillaume, which he thought
the State OF Massachusetts, ought
to have and that was proper. Mr..
Roads caused it to be sent to Governor
Greenhalge and somehow the news got
out that Mr.. Roads had presented this
picture to the State. Now the gentleman
in question declares that he could not buy
pictures like this IL they were to be had two
for a quarter, much less could he spent
$1,000 for this portrait OF Wilson, so his
dilemma is serious. Meantime it is noised
all about the Bay State that one of her low
ing sons has made her a great and good
gift OF picture OF another loving son.

Wonderful progress, by the way, has

eran photographer, Morton, upon this
very subject, yesterday. Everything is

essentials Of the art. You know In the

absolute necessity for picture taking. IL
makes no difference now. 1t can rain or
be cloudy. BY the flash light process,
which Mr.. Morton has the apparatus for,
pictures may be taken in the night.

readers to know that Mr.. Morton has

II Mr.. Olney cuts the best figure in the
Cabinet IL is generally conceded that Mr..
Carlisle cuts the worst, though in this re-
gard the Secretary of State is pressing
him very hard. Mr.. Carlisle is altogether
unsuited for his present post; always has
been. He realized when he took 1t
that he was not suitable for it,
His mind is judicial, not executive.
He was great Speaker, there
is no doubt about that. His enemies
gladly concede it, but he fails to grasp
the financial situation or the tremendous
scope and purpose of the treasury, the
most important of all the departments,
of course, and he fails to impress himself
either upon his department or upon Con-
gress. To be sure he has no assistance.
Indeed, his work is seriously impeded by
the unpopularity of the administra-
tion. 1t is the most serious business, per-
haps, that the money interests distrust
him. Theoretically the government ought
not to be run to suit the money interests,
at least that is the supposition, yet great
secretaries of the treasury have found,
imagine, that they could not successfully
administer their Office without the
confidence Of the great financial people
Of the money centers.

night. Especial interest is taken in
this rendition, as it is not only the

object is to render assistance in a

cations that needs assistance and en-
couragement. Mr.. Black has Sc
lected about eight members of the
band, and with these and several vio-
linists has formed an excellent or

performance. The performers are
substantially the same that have
heretofore appeared in our amateur
performances, which have SO delight
