HUNT AND BYRON.

The bond which kept Byron and
Hunt together was broken by Sheneys
death. Byron was tired of him and
Hunt had not the tact TO leave him
alone. We give Byron's version of the
arrangement rather than that of the
other, for Leigh Hunts answer for
himself is a weaker apology and had
better have remained unwritten.
Hunts letter is probably the exact
piece of vulgar coke i ry you might
expect from his sitt 10. He is a
good man, with some poetlcal elements
in his chaos, but spoiled by the Christ
hospital and a Sunday newspaper
to say nothing Of the Surrey jail,
which conceited him into martyr
But Leigh Hunt is a good man and a
good father--see his odes to all the
masters Hunt; good husband--see
his sonnet to Mrs. Hunt; good friend
see his episties to different people; a
son in everything about him But
that's not his fault, but of circumstan-
cess
Again, though with no direct allu-
sion to Hunt he writes:
THE pity of these men is that they
never lived in high life nor in solitude.
There is no medium TO the knowl-
edge of the busy or the sti | world. II
admitted into high life for a season,
It Is merely as spectators they form
no part Of the mechanism thereof.
Now, Moore and /, the one by circum-
stances and the other by birth, hap
oened to be free of the corporation

and passions, quarum parties fulmus. :"

go about the work in quito a different
way from that followed by Belva Lock
wood and her supporters when that
lady ran fer president
Heretofore all of the women who did
political work labored in the hope of
furthering the cause OF wonans suf-
frage. But the Bryan speakers will be
for Bryan first and suffrage later. Most
of these women are westerncrs by birth
and raising, and are yard-wide popu.
lists. There is no limit to their belief
in the efficacy of free silver to right
the wrongs of the oppressed, and to OBJ
literate the many other evils which be-
set the land
Man, Of them are comparatively I'M.
known outside of their home localities,
but before Nov. 3 it is pretty safe to
predict that their fame will be as wide
as the nation. or what material use
they will be in vote winning way for
their candidate only the future can tell
Some of them are good, logical takers,
others are the reverse, but all of them
are sincere.
One of the NEST interesting of these
spell binders is Miss Eugene Cook, the
pride and idol OF the Maryland popu-
lists She Is but seventeen years old,
and for more than year has been
touring the agricultural districts OF her
native state, pieturing the beauties Of
free silver. She is a natural orator, or
oratress. Her voice is sweet but pow
erful. and she can reel off statistics like
a veteran She has a broader knowl-
edge of the currency question than the
average stump speaker, and has an ex-
tensive vocabulary at her command.
Last winter she issued 4 challenge 70
Senator Arthur Pue Gormat, TO meet
her In joint debate, hnt the Maryland
sta.. sman has conservative ideas TEL
garding the sphere Of woman 50 he re-
fused the offer. Miss Cook declared
that he was afraid of her md her arsu-
meuts. Her father always accom-
panies her on her sneechmaking trips
and he regards her as financial loan
dare. Miss Cook expects to make a
tour Of the whole country between nov
and Nov. /, and she has STANDING
challenge out to meet any one In Joint
debate.

BABY'S SHORT CLOTHES.

As soon as the baby reaches It's fifth
month take off the long, cumbersome
skirts and put on skirts that come just
about three inches below the feet.
Then put ON light, soft stockings and
soft morocco shoes. When the baby is
six months old shorten the skirts still
more, this giving the child more free
dom of limb. At the age of seven
months put a baby on the floor and
let il race about as much as II likes.
This will give ii the strength required
for creeping and walking. which soon
follow In these days it seems to be
the habit and practice to carry the
children in the arms and never allow
them to go on the floor tin they are
big and old enough to walk. 1t is a
great mistake to be eternally handling
a child.

Senator Morgan May Bring Up the
Cuban Question.

Washington May 31.--The most impera
tive work before the senate in order to
reach an early adjournment is to dis
pose of the conference reports on the
ordinary appropriation bills, to vote upon
the bond prohibitory bill and consider the
proposition to pass the river and harbor
bill over the presidents veto in case
the bill receives the necessary two-thirds
in the house. Friends of the filed cheese
bill are probably not strong enough to
press that measure TO a final issue. Sem
ator Morgan will probably make an effort
to bring up the Cuban question. The
anti-bond bill will undoubtedly be press
ed to a finish before Tuesdays adjourn

a majority of about five votes in it's
favor.
1t is not expected that there Will be
