Logan ever wrote or thought Of. Be-
ing an Independent in the true sense
Of the word, he is in a position to say
something that will be needed and of
lasting effect. He gave both parties
some good hits and good advice. He
indirectly administered a sound re-
buke to those who anticipated the
Presidents action, and the political
effect of the appropriation bill. 1t is
something unusual to hear such a
speech. He takes the proper and
what will eventually be the prevalent
view when he says


We are one people, Of the same
blood, and with the same destiny, and
unity of feeling is essential to lift us
out of the mire and to help us on the
road to prosperity. The different parts
of our common country are so init
mately connected in trade and COM
merce, that, as a general rule, what
ever injuriously effects one part has a
corresponding effect on the other, and
whatever benefits one benefits the
other. 1t is, Mr.. President, in my
Judgment, the imperative duty of CON
gress, instead Of turning the attention
of the people back in to history,
with its animosities, to direct it toward
the business interests of the country
and the way to relieve them. With
the past buried and discussion made
on living issues, the people would soon
regain the confidence which is essen
tial in any plan for relieving the pres
ent hard times. 1t may be that such
a course would affect the fortunes Of
parties, for both parties in congress,
on any question of practical legisla-
tion, fall to pieces; but it would have a
most beneficial effect upon the for
tunes of the country. Without
intending to reflect upon the
patriotism of either party, il
does not appear to me that the
speeches on the pending bill represent
the wishes or opinions of the masses
Of either section. Experience has

At Albany yesterday the senate, by
vote of seventeen to ten, adopted
concurrent resolution, rendering the


courtesieS of the State to General


Grant. He will be quite certain to
accept. He has never been known to
refuse anything of the kind. When
he went to London he was rendered
the freedom of the city, which over
there means something. 1t is an
honor usually rendered to royalty, to
ruling or to ex-sovereigns. 1t is
customary with these dignitaries
to politely and formally accept
the keys to the city gates and re-
turn them at once. This ends the
ceremony But to the surprise and
embarrassment of the English people
Grant accepted the freedom of the
city, which involved the formality of a
grand state ball. Then a nice ques-
ton of etiquette arose as to the social
or semi-oficial position of the visitor,
who was really only a private Ameri-
can citizen. Grants appointee, the
aristocratic Pierrepont, was American
minister then, and had won some re-
spect and admiration by copying all the
style and ceremony of the nobility of
England. lie was, therefore, enabled


after passing several notes with the
government, to secure the recognition
of General Grant upon the same foot
ing and order Of precedence as an ex-
sovereign of Europe, and grand re-
ception followed. This precedent
established in accordance with plan
agreedupon before General Grant went
abroad, secured for him royal honors at
all the principal cities of Europe except
the city of Cork, which he suddenly
concluded not to visit when it was
learned that he would be treated as
any other citizen. So it may be set
down as an accepted fact that the
general will receive condescendingly
all the honors that may be offered on
his return to this country. We are q
hero-worshipping people, and half the
country will so crazy as soon as he
enters the Western gate of the CONT

IF your wife is in the habit of using cosmetics of any kind, advise her to give up the pernicious prac- tice, as the most harmless face powders obstruct the pores of the skin and sooner or later injure the complexion, while PHOSPHATE SOAP removes all impurities and assists nature in developing a nat uraI, healthy and really beautiful skin.

It is an undeniable fact that Ameri- can women are improving in plump ness, and are fast losing the lean, scrawny appearance for which they were once remarkable. The reason for this Is obvious: they take vastly better care of themselves than formerly. They have more acquaintance with hygienic laws, and hold them in far higher es- teem. The days when they exposed themselves to dampness and wintry cold in thin slippers and silk stockings;

 when they abstained from hannels next the skin; when they pinched their waists to standardization; when they sacrificed comfort and health to what they conceived to be their appearance those foolish and unhappy days are gone forever, have barely been known to the rising generation. Our women now have no mawkish morbid notions as to them selves; they no longer think that to be unhealthy Is to be attractive; that in- dividuahsm and interestingness are synonymous; that pale faces and com pressed lungs are tokens of beauty. they dress seasonably; they wear thick boots and warm clothes in bad and cold weather; they allow themselves to breathe freely, and they find their looks improved, not injured, by the wholesome change. There are excep- tions, many of them, doubtless, but the rule is as we have described, and the exceptions are constantly diminishing. It may be safely said that all sensible women are becoming, if they have not yet become, converts to nature, and 1 that they heed her behests, recognizing | the great principle that what Is not nat ura1 cannot be beautiful. No wonder | then, that their proportions are fuller, i their cheeks more blooming and their steps more elastic.
