4GOOD EXAMPLE.

Grover Cleveland is out of politics for good. This is the way he talks: "The reports that had political talk with Edward NJ. shepard, William c. Whitney and others are untrue. I am not in politics. I am out for good. I only saw Mir. Shepard last night for two minutes. and politics did not figure in our conversation. Politics is far from my thoughts at present, although I am always ready to act in an advisory ca pacity, if so desired. As for taking any active part in politics, that is not to be considered
 This seems to mean what it says. Now if Brother Bryan will make a similar declaration and mean it he too can be called a true patriot. But he wont do it. He likes politics, finds it profitable. and he hasn't been President as MT. Cleveland has. So he will stay in politics awhile longer, too long, prob ably, for his own fame. He doesn't like MT. Cleveland, but MT. Cleveland has set him a good example.

FLORA MFLIMsEY OF TO-DAY.
She Has a Critical Brock for Every
 Critical Moment

She Has a Critical Brock for Every
 Critical Moment.
 Stroll rather from Madison Square up Fifth avenue and along Central Park. At the outset one may pick out, if the fancy strikes him, the house in which Flora McFlimsey was abashed in the discovery that Gin spite of very consid- erable efforts on the part of the Pari- sian dressmaker) she had nothing to wear. How gay and worldly Flora once seemed, how truly urban and so- phisticated! Yet, as the modern obSer- yer pauses beneath the trees Of the square, and looks at the simple brown stone houses in one of which she lived, she seems to be the heroine of an an- cient pastoral ingenious and primitive. Our mother Eve when she first dimly conceived the possibilities of modistery, seems scarcely more remote from the manners of to-day. The young woman who lives at the other end of the ave- nue is of but one generation later. yet she is the embodiment of s0phistication and self command. You can't catch her without the critical frock for the criti- cal moment, or if you chanced to, with how cool a self-possession she would confront the exposure!
 In 8 leisurely stroll between Madison Square and the park, one may see scores of young ladies ranging between these two engaging types of woman- hood. Yet each of them could reckon, if she only would, the brief space between the marvellous hat she wears upon her marvellous head and the ancestral truck farm or gold mine. Some of them, to be sure, are of the ancient leaven of the Knickerbockers. But have they forgot ten how few are the decades since their parents outlawed Washington Irving for his gentle satire upon the manner in which their forefathers took possession of Manhattan ? Have they forgotten, 1 moreover, that in all that makes for worldly splendor and position the sap lings of later growth have overshad- owed them? Let them cherish ancient i traditions, as indeed we all do. Yet, 1 Ichabod! their glory has departed.- John Corbin in Scribner's.

Stories of Old New Haven
Bv ERNEST H. BALDWIN,


 To all who cherish the traditions of old New England thls attractive book will be delight, and to those who have any interest in the beautiful City of Elms,'' it will appeal with especial force. With a simpl- city of style and language. combining pc culiar interest and elearness. these stories relate to the history of the founding and growth of the old New England town. The reader joins the little band of Puritan state founders, under John Davenport and The ophllus Eaton. crosses the ocean with them, and watches them as they build their settle ment at Quinnipiac ''four-square. The sad event made familiar by LOngfellow's poem of the Phantom Ship is a touching episode. The story of the hiding of the Regicides, of the founding of Yale College and of the British attack of 1779, are of great interest and preserve those. flne tra- ditionS which are the common inheritance of the whole nation. Original illustrations and an appendix containing a guide to the places of historic interest in the city add to the value of the book.

SOME PRECOCIOUS BOTS.

There are some precocious boys in Missouri One of the State senators has couple of them. The books in the State auditors office bear striking tes- timony to the early development of their powers. Two years ago the Sena- tors son Ben. who was then fifteen years old. was placed on the senate payroll as his fathers committee clerk, and as such drew $262.50, or $3.50 per day, from the State treasury. While performing seventy days work as com mittee clerk. this remarkable youth found it necessary to miss only twenty days attendance at the Columbia high school. Ben's younger brother, Lee, aged fourteen, is equally precocious, He is described as small for his age, and hardly looking so old as the family Bible shows him to be. Yet he has sue ceeded his elder brother as committee clerk, and although he has not been in Jefferson City much. has drawn $1365O for thirty-nine days during the present session.
 There are no such precocious children in Connecticut, and perhaps it is we'll for the State that there are not.

\ or EFFECTEHI.

Some of the good people of Kansas don't seem to think that their legisla- ture is as useful as 1t might be- But it has done something, according to the Kansas City Journal. A statute has been enacted to protect Chinese pheas- ants, and another which forbids the eating of snakes. The Poultry Associa- ton has been made State institution and hotels and boarding houses have been ordered to provide themselves with fire escapes. But though twenty thousand copies of the biennial report of the Secretary of Agriculture had been struck off the legislature has failed to make any appropriation for postage and so the twenty thousand books are piled up in the basement of the capitol, out of the reach of the farmers for whom they were intended Consideration of such questions as tax revision and of dividing the State into new congressional districts which the people wish to see acted upon is post poned and there is not much likelihood of anything being done in that direc- ton.
 How different from the Connecticut legislature, which is doing much work and doing it with neatness and dis patch.

THENEW IMMIGRATION LA W.

The new immigration law made by the last congress applies not only to the United States, but to all the terri tory over which this nation rules-the Philippine Islands, Guam, Porto Rico and Hawaii. The new law is more sweeping than the old. The class of aliens excluded from admission to the United sta.es is enlarged. In addition to those who were blacklisted under the old law are the following: Epileptics; persons who have been insane within five years previous to landing; per sons who have had two or more attacks of insanity at any time previously; professional beggars; anarchists or persons who believe in or advocate the overthrow of government, including the assassination of government off, cials. The old law enabled the govern ment to deport any alien who became a public charge within one year after landing. In the new law the time is extended to two years. Under the new law an "alien contract laborer' is de- fined to be one who comes not only under contract or agreement, but also any person who comes in pursuance of any offer or solicitation to perform la bor Of any kind, skilled or unskilled." It is a violation oe the law for an em- ployer, through advertisements in for eign publications, to promise employ ment in .he United States. Skilled la bor may be imported into the United States only if labor of like kiEd un- employed, cannot be found in this country" The prohibition does not ap- ply, however, to persons employed strictly as personal or domestic ser wants. It does not. os course, include professional actors, artists, lecturers, singers, ministers of any religious de- nomination, professors for colleges or seminaries or persons belonging to any recognized learned profession"
 This law will be thoroughly enforced, and it will keep many undesirable peo- pie out of our domains. It may also keep some desirable ones out.

In his recent book on China and the Chinese Dr. Giles tells of a stingy Chinaman who took a paltry sum of money to an artist-payment is always exacted in advance-and asked him to paint his portrait.
