The ILLlTERATE.

Most Trustworthy.
Under date of Jan. 80 Louise de Ia
Rance, the novelist. better known IN
der her nom de, plume of Ouida, ad-
dressed the following letter to Secretary
Olney relative to the immigration bill.
"SR-Will you pardon my addressing
you concerning the bill which l see Is
before congress, in intent to exclude i'm
migrants who cannot read. II you ex-
clude Italians who cannot read, you
will lose the best and most laborious
part of the population, and you will ad-
NIT the trash of cities. 1t is not test
which can be properly applied to ltal-
ians, or, indeed, to any populace. Why
should you suppose the power to spell
out the crimes recorded i'll cheap news
papers is any guarantee for either virtue
or intelligence?
Sin Italy the peasantry are almost en-
tirely illiterate, yet they are the only
class which can give immigrants OF any
value. have had many men in my en-
ploy. have invariably found those who
could not read ten times more industr1-
ous temperate, intelligent and honest
than those corrupted by the trumpery
education of schools / have had for
20 wears an old man (who has been what
is called the odd man in England), and
he can be sent with 80 commissions to
purchase objects, detailed to him only
orally, and he will execute these com
missions with no single error either OF
oblivion or of payment. Such man you
would turn from your shores, while you
would receive the youth corrupted,
emasculated, diseased, through cheap
journalism, bad tobacco and the en-
forced physical idleness Of the schools
/ beg you to allow me to remain, obedl-
emily yours, OUlDA.

in Washington has made little advance
IN that time. Mr.. Cleveland paid $780,

since then has expended some money on
improvements, which may bring the

residence occupied by the president
when in Washington during his first
term, and which he sold at profit Of
500, 900, but is better located and

passed it in the afternoons two years
ago frequently saw three or four police

any one approaching not known to
them was ordered to proceed without
lettering. .

markable Outfit. ~
Miss Emma Lamb, wealthy young
woman of Hagerstown, Ind, unsteady
accomplished and popular in the society
circles Of half dozen eastern Indiana
cities, has Just sailed for Calcutta.
where she goes as missionary. Her
wardrobe of exquisitely beautiful gar
ments, prepared at great cost before she
set out, was the envy of all society.
A number of dresses OF fine white
swiss are elegantly trimmed in white
swiss embroidery. Among her finery is
an evening dress of canary colored SILK
null of almost transparent tissue, MADE
over silk taffeta lining of the same
color and trimmed in beautiful lace.
One society gown of white faille SILK
has its only trimming an all over ORA
perry of delicate white crepe de chine.
There is another very effective in its
combination of black velvet, lace, lemon
colored null and black brocaded satin.
The garments are exquisite creations,
and of the newest designs. Real lace
figures largely in the trimming. This is
only q suggestion of the beauties OF this
| extensive outfit, but is enough to show
| that its fortunate possessor does not ex
pect to enter many jungles in pursuit o.
the ignorant heather.
Miss Lamb is the only regular mis-
sionary ever sent out by the Woman
Foreign Missionary society of the north
ern Indiana Methodist Episcopal confer
ence. She will have charge OF the socl
ety's school in Calcutta.
