and she is SO very different from the
women journalists who perform all sorts Of
freak maneuvers in the columns of news
papers in other cities that her good man.
ners and grace and popularity are quite
notable, even here. She respects and
enjoys her work thoroughly, and naturally
the society people with whom she is brought
in contact, both men and women, respect
and enjoy her greatly. Like all good women,
old as well as young. she has had many
offers OF marriage, which is in itself very
fine compliment. Is she going to be mar
ried? That is hardly proper question.
Mrs. Brice is popular among the re-
porters; here is one reason why: On the
evening OF her last cotillion one of them
called TO learn about her gown and decora-
tions. 1t was at that choice hour for OBJ
servation when the last bouquet has been
placed on duty, and the first guest had yet
to arrive. The reportorial caught a
glimpse of a woman's figure at the cur
tanned arch. She wore black gown,
and was concluding her survey with some
gracious word of praise TO the ma jor-domo,
when the rcporter-who had already made
jumps at the conclusion that she was some
home-loving relative, who took no stock
in frvolities, except to see that they
went one right-Stepped up with her best
bow, and asked-everybody knows Just
what.
Mrs. Brice will wear white brocade,"
answ cred the black gowncd one, with the
same kindly smile-only trifle more con-
ventional-that she had given the func-
tionary.
Thanks, and decoIlete, of course-you
know the papers say Mrs. Brice has such
a lovely neck-and what jewels will she
wear, please; and how will her hair be
dressed.
The smile developed an amused tinge.
You have evidently never seen Mrs.
Brice.'
The scribe owned promptly thatthe sight
of Mrs. Brice was a pleasure yet to be
acquired, whereupon the black -gowned one
invited her up to a beautiful room on the
second floor, where spread out on a couch
in regal splendor was the rose-flowered
satin brocade that the lady of the house
was to wear But the Unsuitable reporter
turned TO Madam Blackgown and said:
You have been SO kind and helpful,
but-but you have not told me yet how
Mrs. Brice viii wear her hair
For an instant she looked absolutely em-
barrassed, and then, with kindly, and
distinctly hearty, laugh, answered:
why, shall wear it just as you see il
now."

The author of the Crime OF '73 appears to
be slated for the State portfolio, and the
author OF Little Breeches' for the Eng

sciousness OF his country's love, maccom-
panied by any official act that might
tempt him from his own high position of
unselfish and unrewarded patriotism.
Ingratitude and treason being around

gested it to tffe public mind, by inducing

1t may be that you have not had every
thing TO do with the business yourself,
but it does not help the Grand Army of the
Republic TO interfere too much in the dis
tribution of offices, and your own letters
will tell you that it is a good idea. 1t is
an inalienable American right to seek Of
flee. Any one who is foolish enough TO
do it, or who does not realize that he is
wise enough took to keep out OF it, must
not be discouraged. If, however, the or.
ganization of any great body of our fellow
citizens is brought into play for this pur-
pose, the result is almost inevitably mis-
understanding and distrust. What indi
viduals may choose to do is quite another

LET III GO. MIR. VEST.

There is a pugnaclous and virulent sena-
tor from Missouri named George Graham
Vest. he returns TO the city flushed with
the glory of reelection. He has been
opposing the confirmation OF Ex-Gov.
Francis, Secretary of the Interior, who
was some time ago nominated for that
honorable office by President Cleveland.
We do not know what NJ. Vests grounds
OF opposition to the appointment of Mr..
Francis may have been, and should not
care to discuss them, anyway. 1t is
gratifying TO know that the appointment
OF the Secretary Of the Interior is very
soon to be confirmed, and if Mr.. Vest still
has an interest in the matter, we beg TO
say 60 him that it would do credit to his
generosity if he were to let the matter go.
Perhaps his consent may not be necessary;
perhaps he is not intending further to in
terfere. In any event, he might better let
1t go.

BENEDICT ARNOLD on TRIAL.

The genial humor of DR.. Chauncey De
pew, is quite capable of taking on the
garb OF grimness, upon proper occasion.
Its true character and point are veiled,
20 be sure, but the harmless, merry sting
is not less present. Treachery TO the great
and good, ingratitude for graceful and no.
BILE services and sacrifices are what DR..
Depew abhors. Perhaps this general alb
horrence is not connected with any partie-
ular offense; perhaps It may be. In any
event there does not seem to be that wild
rushing after the Doctor, on the part Of
the Republican party. that we, and pos
sibly even he. had a right to expect.
