This woman who sweeps by in the gay crowd on Broadway was a famous beauty in her day. She is still good looking. Her face 10 trife stouter and there are wrinkles on her brow and crows feet in her cheeks. but IL is still - face that would be noticed in crowd. II is Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague. This once famous beauty who welded moro power in American politics, perhaps, than any other American woman has ever done, is going down the hill of life in a quiet, easy way. She comes to New York occasionally 10 visit friends, but her home is in Washington. She is no longer the gay butterfly OF fash ion. and her dresses. while fashionable and well-made. have not the dash that m sde her so much talked about in ante bellum days. Her life in the National Capital is q simple one. There is none of the luxury at Edgewood that character lied her life during her fathers career. But she Is happy, nevertheless, for her children are growing up around her; her old friends are still true 20 her, and she looks on calmly at the progress Of events with = smiling face.

She was one of those women YOU couldn't quarrel with. She was that agree able that her old man got tired OF it, and tried to have a row for a change. He began chucking the things about at din ncr time, and smashing the plates. But she only smiled like an angel, and said, Claw, ducky how lucky didn't put the best service on to-day" And tho next day she did put the best service on, and he remembered it cost him eighteen guineas, and he didn't care to spoil the net. Then he took to stopping out late and coming home drunk, but when nc staggered up stairs she always welcomed him with a smile, and caught him in her arms and kissed him, and said, 'I wonder, John dear, whatcver's been split on your coat :: 1t smells like spirits" Now, this was enough to make any man wild. So one evening he said to her quietly, ''Ish me, my luvsh, I'm tcshicatcd' ~ ''Are you, John 2" she answered; "why, you old dear, I shouldn't have believed It," And then she gave him sweet smile that made him that mad he didn't know what to do. But he wasn't going to be done; he de- tcrmincd he would have row somehow or other; 80 one night when she wouldn't be- lievc he was drunk but kept on kissing him and calling him all old dear, he lust let out some strong language and hit her On the head with the tire-lrons. She smiled, but she didn't say anything in par ticular. She took him by the hand III an affectionatc manner, and led him down stairs into the street, and kissed him, and handed HIM over to policeman. And she went down to the court the next morning ana got him six months In such pretty, agreeable way, the reporters fell quite In love with her. And when he was going away she leant over the dock and kissed him, and said, "Takc care of yourself. ducky; I'll have a nice dinner for YOU the day you come out" And the last thing he saw as he went down the steps was his amiablc wife kissing her hand to him and smiling away as swcctly as ever.

A prominent federal official from Ohio received the following commune cation through the city postonice on Wednesday. The writer is a Chey- ennese, for the letter was dropped In the home Office. The aforesaid official takes the joke with his accustomed good humor, and, as he knows the wag, is laying a plan to retaliate: Ohio congratulates herself upon the fact that tramps have disappeared from within her borders; and places the credit with the tramp law. The con. graduation is all right. The tribute to the tramp law is a weak attempt to distract attention from the true cause Of relief, the same being that the tramps have shared with other idlers In that state the blessings of an Ohio presidency and gone into office. DEAR SIR: We respectfully call your attention to the foregoing. The item is clipped from an Ohio ~paper-repub- lican in principle-but It seems to DO supporting Hancock. Yours, etc., FRIENDS.

TABLES TURNED.-When used to tend a store in Syracuse the old man came around one day, and says he: "Boys, the one that sells the most 'twixt now and Christmas gets vest pat tern as present" Maybe We didn't work for the vest pattern. I tell you there was some tall stories told in praise of goods just about that time; but the tallest talker, and the one that had more cheek than any of US, was certain Jonas Seuires, who roomed with me. He could take dollar out of mans pocket when the man only intended to spend a sixpence, and the women, Lord bless you they just handed over their pocket books to him and let him lay out what he liked for them. One night 10. woke me up with: "By 10, old fellow, if you think that ere's got any cotton in it I'll bring down the sheep that it was cut from, and make him own his wool 'Twon't wear out either !; wore pair of pants of that stuff for five years, and they are as good now as when first put 'em on.

Shall I tear it? al right; it's a bar gain" could feel Jonah's hand playing about the bed clothes for an instant. then rip, tear, went something or other, and I hid my head under the blankets, perfectly convulsed with laughter, and sure that Jonah had torn the sheet from top to bottom.

This little sentence should be written on every heart, stamped on every memory. It should be the golden rule practiced, not only in every household, but throughout the world By helping one another, we not only remove lhorns from the pathway, and ankle ty from the mind but we feel a sense of pleasure in our hearts, knowing we are helping a fellow creature. A helping hand or an encouraging word is no loss to US, yet it is benefit to others. Who has not needed the encouragement and aid of kind friend How soothing, when perplexed with some task that is mysterious and bur densome, to feel a gentle hand on the shoul- der and hear Kind voice Whispering" Do not feel discOurased-I see your trouble let me help you" What strength is inspir- ed-what hope created-what sweet graft tude is felt, and the greatest difficulty is dis solved as dew beneath the sunshine. Yes, let us help one another by endeaVOring to strengthen and encourage the weak and lift ing the burden of care from the weary and oppressed, that life may glide smoothly on and the fount of bitterness yield sweet waters and he whose willing hand is ever ready to aid US, will reward our humble en- beavers, and every good deed will be as bread cast upon the waters, to return af- ter many days. if not to US, to those we love

On the 18th inst, the steamer Nominee ascended the St. Peters river, thirty or forty miles above the spot reached by the Antho- nv Wayne some weeks ago. The point obtained was "Le Bois Franc" the highest vet achieved by any steamboat The St. Paul Chronicle, speaking of the excursion, gives the following description of the coun- try as seen by those who ascended the river: 'The country opened many new beauties not before discovered by persons who went up with the previous party. Above the Rapids we found a vast improvement in the lands immediately y adjacent 10 the shores, as we'll as in the appearance of the prairie and back timber sections. It was the unanim- ous and unbiased opinion ofevcry one pres ent-strangers and all--that no section of country they had seen in the West could compare with this valley as an agricultural region. None of the praries appear to be more than three or four miles in exteng-- most of them are smaller-and the inter- mediate groves of unusually heavy white and bur oak cover areas of at least equal size. At "Le Bois Franc" some evidences of lolHIel ClHllEdlion were apparent; pIopdDly the relics of an old Indian corn field. On this spot crop of blue grass had sprung up, several stalks of which were gathered, measuring .fUe teet in height. We know this will look improbable to persons who did not see it, but we have abundant proof that such is the fact. The best grazing lands of the States may as well "knock un- der" after this The richest and most Ink. uriant fields of strawberries and raspberries, now ripe, were also growing in profusion around us.

Gen. Hancock is the nominee of the democratic party for the presidency. Like Gen. Garfield, he was dark horse, his nomination came Unexpectedly; but, unlike the republican nomination, it il without d substantial foundation. It is true that Hancock has good war record. Entering West Point at Is years of age, and passing from there to the reg. ulsr army, his life has been that Of soldier, thinking, acting, comm anding and obeylng with military spirit. He fought bravely for the Union, and has our gratitude for 1t. but that is all that he has done. His profession has with drawn him from the responsibilities and cares of y civilians life. and nov he asks " to put him at the head of a nation Of citizens, TO make him the executor of laws made for civil life aud not for soldiers. He is a good man. There are thousands Of them. He is q good general, brave soldier. So is Grant. We did not want Grant, and why should we want Han cock? We want more than q good man and good general. We must have u statesman, a man of the people, and who knows the people, their senti- ments and wants. For years the Demo- Gratis have denounced Grant rs "strong man." as q soldier and not statesman, and yet they are the men who are cpthu. siaslic over the nomination of man whose war record and military achieve. ments are his only recommendation. The republican party has taken the country at its word and nominated a statesman instead of a general, and i: now remains to be seen whether the Grant men were right when they said that the people wanted q ''strong man," be his qualities of Craftsmanship what they may.
