The incident is quoted by Mr.. Tuck
ernlan as 4 thought provoking addition
to his account of an interview with
William H. Seward, published in the
Personal Recollections of Notable
People"
While Mr.. Seward in 1872 was suf-
fering from paralysis at his home in
Auburn, N. Y, Mr.. Tuckerman went
out of his way to pay his respects to
the veteran statesman. He found him
unable to use his arms and legs, but
with his mental faculties unimpaired.
For the two days the guest enjoyed
the stateSmanS hospitality ne was en-
tertained with "reminiscences and anec-
dotes.
When he was departing. Mr.. Seward
took him aside and said: Now tell
me what can do for you. If possess
any influence with the present admin

Mr.. Tuckerman replied that the only
service he could do for him was to get
better health at his earliest conven-
fence. and to let the world hear from
him occasionally.

Seward shat you came out of your
way to visit a broken down old man
like me without a single interested
motive beyond that of seeing me?'

sundry Civil Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The house
spent the day considering the sundry
civil bill and fair progress was made.
No amendments of Importance were
adopted
A determined effort was made by
some of the southern representatives to
strike from the bill the appropriation
of $4,000 for the pay of internal reve-
nue. informers which is particularly
obnoxious to the people in the moon
shine" districts but it was not success
full. 81
Mr.. Adams (Rep. Pa) undertook to
correct some of the false reports to
the alleged compact between certain
free silver Republicans and some Phil
adelphia manufacturers. In that con-
nection he referred to the resolutions
adopted last night by the Manufacture
ers' club of Philadelphia. Mr.. Hart
man of Montana and other free silver
Republicans, in reply, charged that they
had been persistently and maliciously
misreprese by the gold bug press.
The conference, they asserted, had not
beer of their seeking.
Mr. Picker of South Dakota also
made a statement concerning what he
said had been a representation or the
Republican platform cf his state which,
instead of making a specific declaration
on national issues. had simply affirmed
the doctrines of the national Repuon-
can party at Minneapolis until the st.
7 so11is convention should have adopted
q new platform.

A ROMANCE OF ART.
niiIInis and RusIzin.

So it is Sir John Millais upon whom
Lord Leightons mantle will fall as
president of the Royal academy. 1t is
doubtless the best and most praiswor-
thv selection that could have been
made.
But I wonder what poor John Rus
kin thinks of it?
One woman, fair as a poets dream,
has so commingled these mems lives
that 1t is impossible to think of one
without recalling the other also.
She was the wife of John Ruskin
when he was still a young man. filled
with hope and high ambition, and al
ready the chief art critic of England,
when he gave his promising friend,
John MilIais, a commission to paint her
portrait.
Millais was handsome fellow, with
a good, big vein of materialism and a
wholesome love of everyday life in his
composition, whereas Ruskin was sew
eral degrees removed from an Adonis,
and so given over to study and dream
ing that the woman who bore his name
suffered for companionship-a most
grievous thing, my brother, to permit
any woman to do.
Nevertheless, Ruskin loved his wife
tenderly, and treated her with so much
consideration and good nature that he
left her alone with his friend. Millais.
for hours at time. while Millais paint
ed and chatted. and laughed, and
sighed, and finally fell to loving her
with love that could have but one
consummatio ton.
About this time the woman also
made discovery. She found that her
regard for her husband was only
vast respect for his manliness and his
soholarsh' p, and that her woman's
heart had gone out with all its strength
to the handsome young friend of her
husband, who had so long been en-
gagged in painting her likeness.
Then came remorse and agony of
soul for the guilty love that possessed
them. Conscience smote lover and
mistress like a two-edged sword-for
they were both honorable people de-
spite their wayward affections-and
they decided to awaken the husband
from his dreams and confess <very-
thing, abiding, for their future, by his
judgment
So one day they went into the
dreamer's study hand in hand, and on

convention with votes enough by about

first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth,

nominee therefore, will be a second
