The many stylish fashions so hand
somely portrayed in The Designer for
March are most springlike and attrae-
tive, whether designed for ladies, mis-
ses or little folks. Shirt waits in ev cry
imaginable style are illustrated, in addi-
ton to costumes, wraps waists and un-
derwear. The millinery pages show ad-
vance models for straw hats. Twenty
two fancy work patterns are given this
month accompanied by full working
directions, and The Children's Sew
ing School" will probably set more than
one mother to thinking. The literature
of the March number is excellent, both
as regards quantity and quality. 1t
comprises comedietta for young peo-
pie, "a Frog Who Would -Woing Go, "
the conclusion of San Unwarrantable

another to represent it was Thomas A
r, Nelson. He was friend of Presi-
dent Fillmore, who appointed him a
special commissioner to China. He ac-
cepted but did not go lie was elected
to the seth congress and was prevented
from coming to Washington to take
his seat by the democrats, He was an
intimate associate Of Andrew Johnson
aud became his leading counsel before
the senate when that body sat as a court
of impeachment in 1865.
1t does not appear in the congress
ional history where a father and two
sons have represented one district save
in the instance of old Nathaniel Taylor
who represented the First district and
whose sons, Bob and Alf Taylor, sue
ceeded him at different periods as con-
gressmen from this district, Nathan
iel Taylor was a graduate Of Princeton
college and was man of great crudi-
tion. He became preacher and later
entered politics, when he was elected
to the Thirty-third congress. He was
elected from the district again to the
thirty-ninth.
Bob Taylor, humorist, lecturer aud
ex-governor of Tennessee, served the
First district in the forty-sixth con-
gress. he was not as successful in his
congressional careef as his brother All
who was elected to three congres ses,
the Fifty-first, the Fifty-second and
rhe Fifty-third. Later the three Tay-
lors carried the standards of three diff
ferent parties; Bob was making the
race for governor as democrat, Alf as
a republican, and their father, Nathan
iel, as the Prohibition candidate. This
three-cornered family race was one of
the most interesting in the political
history of the state.
Between the terms of Bob and Alf
the First district was represented by
the Hon. A. II. Pettibone, one of the
most scholarly men ever in the halls of
congress. He was in the Forty-sey-
enth, -Forty-eighth and Forty-ninth
congresses.
Another man of note to serve the dis
trict,was William Mcfarland, the first
democrat to represent the district after
the war, being a member of the Forty
fourth congress. r. r. Butler, an
other very prominent man and a con-
spicuous member of the house, repre-
seuted the First Tennessee district in
the Forty first, Forty and
Forty-third congresses, and was again
elected TO the Fiftieth
1t is seldom that one district can
boast so many well-known men in the
history Of the country. 1t seems
strange still that such district should
have been able to secure, with such in
fluence as these men must have pos
sessed, no Federal expenditures. Rep
resentative Brownlow, in speaking Of
this, said that he supposed the ma
jority of them were so busy with mat
ters Of national Importance that they
had little time to devote to getting
paltry sums for internal improvements,
81 do not know any one district in the
United States which has sent so many
national figures to congress as the
First Tennessee. With history such
as the First, it makes it difficult mat
ter to come up to the standard set by
Jackson, Cooke, Johnson, Nelson an(
the Taylors. " A. w. b.
