A hi-kcial from Washington states tlmt Auditor llcutoii, our Tom, and Congressman Dorsoy Interviewed Charles Francis Adann last Monday about tho freight rnto on corn and persuaded tho old gentleman to come down. The president of tho U. 1. said ho would ask his road to reduce tlm rate to Chi cago one half, but he took good caro to add tlmt tho Hues east of the Missouri might not respond. A wily old man Is Charles Francis. A KKW years ago Ingersoll was pausing through Cincinnati, and at Ids hotel Im was ueeostedbya worklngman, who addressed him as follows: "Mr. Ingersoll, I am a ioor, Imrd-worklng man, having a family to sup Krt, ami I wantu favor." "WoIV'mIiI Hob, "what can 1 do for your' "I want to call a brand of my cigars after you, and permission to use your photograph," answered tho man. "Certainly, my man, and I w 111 give you a motto, If you desire." "I would thank you If on would," responded tho man. Colonel In. gersoll gave It to him as follows: "We shall smoke In this world, but not In tho next.' Somo months afterward, while pissing through CWclnnatl, Colonel Ingersoll was informed that the man made fO.OOO oft tho brand of cigars in less timn a year. A I, Faihiiuotiikh give us this view of Lin coln politic lu tlm Omaha H'oWif-mif((; One of the distinguished guests lu Omaha to day Is Mr. Louis Meyer of Lincoln. Mr. Mojer Is a olitictau, ami just now is In tho heat of a political light in tho Fifth want in his town. Mr. Meyer has been n councilman some four years, and during that timo has seen to It that nls constituents In tho fitful Fifth had gas lamjia, good sidewalks, water mains, and, in short, any and everything for which they asked, it tit Just now the (vast Is forgotten, and the llvfng prewmt confronts Mr. Meyer. He Is conlldeut of victory cer tain that he will capture tho primaries, and accordingly be returned to do aldennanlo duties, Mr. Jerome Sliamp and Colonel Ii H.tCheuey, leaders in local politics, are camp- on ou mo trail of Air. Meyer ami they swear by all tho strange gods of eacu ami war that Mr. Meyer's scalp must come. And while It may seem to a man who is too tired to think that the Fifth ward of Lincoln cuts but little figure in ktnto politics, that man is mistaken. As tho Fifth goes, w goes the county. If Meyer U successful, it means tho supremacy of John It. Clark in Lancaster county. It 'means that Leeso will lose Lancaster that Dushuell has run his race ami that K. K. Brown's ol!t!cal hopes are forever hung ou n willow tree, and that Council will have no opposition. Khamp ami Cheney, the leaders of the Fifth ward's politics, aro after Council, after Clark and after Meer, In the last campaign, when Meyer was lioomhig Maxey Cobb for county treisurer, tho Fifth ward went against Col.b and for lUirnham, who was elected. The light lu April will lie the solution of n problem lu state and congres sional jwlltlcs. OLIVK HAItPKirS LETTER. HOW ONE CAN MAKE OLD DRESSES A3 GOOD A3 NEW.

Among thi'in ono young girl wayHHlio lmn u yunl mid u tpmrtcr of very old fiiHhlouiHl Inm'aih'd Hiitiu. Thh sho Hnya Ii In throo wldo Htrlpos, two brocaded mid ono plain black Hutiu, mid hIio wiiiiIh to nmko Hoinetlilng out of It, not pmiuls, whloh hIio could wear with n plain blnclc satin Hklrt ovonlugH; mid thl Hiitln is vory "Hhiny" In Hpots, but It la all hIio Iiiih for ii host drosi, mid nt ircst'nt alio cmitiot alToul another. MNNr.lt COIIHAUK AND THIMMINO. Him ulioulil tuko her Hiitln akiit apart nml lay tho plccca on u flat mirfuco mid liihthom with iv plcco of clean ihiiinel, dipped In good, Hhurp cider vinegar. Lenvo tho pieces to dry whero thoy nre, mid do not Iron them at nil. When dry tho until! will look liko new mid bo firm, mid not ono phi holo w ill bo hoon. Of courso nnifh will Imvo lo depend upon tho former Hhnpo of tho Hklrt in re making it. A perfectly plain skirt is ipiitu im fnshionnblo iih u draped ono; in (leed, moro ho. Tho tddit dono will re pay the young worker for nil her palim In taking itnpurt mid In remaking it. Sho really makes it in every way just minimi Homo iih u new one. It isu mistake to do thin in ii tdipshod manner, for it will not show anything but u botch. Tho old Hut in brocade can then bo made up into u hodifo after tho Htylo in the illustration, which iunt oneonlniplo mid very girlish. Tho hIuovoh uro of tho plain utripo, while tho others uro utilized for tho waist. Tho arrangement of tho laco ut tho Hlinuldera can bo left olT if pre ferred, mid 1 Hliouhl certainly prefer if it wan mine. Tho wide laco down tho fronts ulioulil lie left there, if the maker Iiiih miy. If not, thu cocurlal can Ihj gotten vory cheaply now, and it will only require flvo-cighths of n yard. Passomentorlo trimming Is also a miitablu material, and tho young lady who has thin corwigo to wear with a plain blaolc satin skirt may call herself very fortunate. If sho docs not liko tho neck open, half a yard of tullo or crepe lisso will fill tho neck in and look lovely. Ulack silks can bo treated in tho samo manner, mid tho texture oven seems to become flnnar mid rioher under It. Colored silks, howovcr, must not bo treated with tho vinegar, otherwise tho color will lio Injured. Cashmere, camel's hair and all strictly pure wool goods can bo washed and Ironod on the wrong side and they will look as though just bought iih long as a thread lasts. Hut tho garment must Ira picked npart mid washed in bark water, after which tho pieces should Ihj rinsed In warm water to which a little ammonia mid bluing have been added, this last only when the material is black or white. Till: OIIOST of thk iiustlk. Ah soon as tho goods aro nlnuit two thirds dry they should be carefully pulled into shapo and placed face down on tho ironing table and a moderately hot iron used. Do not fold tho pieces until quito dry, otherwise they will crease. Hot iron should never touch silk or Hiitln. Thu lady who wants to dress well on a small lncomo has, indeed, a sad task mid ono requiring great caro mid self sacri fice, but each should prefer to wait a long timo to collect money by small de grees mid buy material of tho best quali ty, and make over mid over tho old until there is nothing of it left. I have placed by the foundation skirt tho ghost of thu bustle in tho form of a petticoat made of palo gray wash surah, trimmed with a deep flat baud and ruf fles of figured silk, At tho bottom aro four pinked out flounces which hold tho bottom of tho dress out in easy fullness. Under each of tho rulllos In tlio back is n crinoline or horsehair ruftlo which holds tho dress out In a pleasing manner. This skirt will bo worn in warm weather under cambric ones to hold out tho thin summer matorials. I will try and learn a fow iwt w wrinkles as to tho best and most economical man. nor to utilize all your husbands' old coats beforo I writo again. It is not to bo sup posed that a fashion writer would over bo reduced to making sunh herself, now, is it? Olivk IIaui'ku. AT THE THRESHOLD. Denting wild Oi Ktitrnurn to n llnmn. Tlm Vmtlliuln. The llrt impulsoof the barbarian, lu what ever jxirt of tlm glolsi Im may Im bom, Is to revU shelter from tho varying temierature of night mid day When the flint requisite of shelter has hoeu obtained, the early builder cuts olT tlm rough dgi and carves upon the xt rudo Piulilenisof tho natural objects ho sees nlstllt hhu, nml, lu doing this, take tlio llrst step In design ami decoration. Ho, nccm ding to each necessity, artxw tins illlTereut style of architecture. With the In crease of clvlllmtlon came now requirement, ami the eriido ideas of tho ravage, gradually developed Into moro rcllnod nml graceful forms. History of ancient, medlmval and niodorn art shows that, no matter what may lio tho condition lu life, splendor of raiment and adornment of surroundings have always been held III high esteem of men, It doe not matter so much what the fabric Is', If our clothe Im proierly sliajMvl and lltttsl; so In design; If the prlnclMil features of tlm struct ure 1st proHrly proK)rtloned, the building will Is) attrnctlvo In apiearnnce, be tho ma terials what thoy may. BM AN KNTIIANCR. The flrst feat uro to Iwronslilcrtxl after tho general massing and npisvirauco Is tho en trance, which should ill way ls emphasized so as to show distinctly what It Is beyond a doubt, a tastefully designed jMireh or pro jecting N'diment gives an apxaraneo of shelter nml comfort, and might ho termed a xr'timl monument of welcome which bids you enter Americans are, as a rule, devoted to their homes ami lavish in thoexKudlturoof money Ui enileli and Iwaiitlfy them. Kminerly It was customary to lxU almost wholl through tho glns.se of "prnetlcnl utility," w Inch of course Is not to ho despised, and due credit must lio given. Hut now ix.tiple have learned that there Is a happy medium. Tney aro pleastsl to llnil that ft costs no moro to build a pretty nml conveniently planned dwelling than an ugly nml Inconveniently nrranged one. Often times It costs not m) much, as the many lieau tlflll homes to lie found ill the various cities ami towns throughout the country clearly prove. The conventional brown stone etty front, witli its galvniilisl iron cornice nml hldixnis brackets, and the country homo witli Its mansard or hiproof with a cupola, aro among tho things of tho pnut, and wo are in an era of improvement.

In UKxIeru buildings, e.sxcially in cities, owing to tho criiniNxl nature of the slto ami the enormous increase in valno of tho laud, we are unable to attain any mlso en scene by depth of quadrangles, or ohmi courts, or ro cesMxl arcades, constituting vistas through which tho main building forms a background. Tho building arena are almost always nnrrow and confined, and tho plan of the city house, will not admit of much variation In the, ar rangement of the rooms. After tho entrance comes the vestibule, a feature without which no dwelling can bo considered really complete. As a rulo vesti bules are too small, doubtless from the fact that in most caws they are designed so as to receive tho two halves of an outer double door arranged in such manner that wheu tho doors aro oxned they form a complete panel system ou each side of the vestibule. As these doors are usually not above two feet nml four inches hi width, tho vestibule necessarily Incomes barely largo enough for one to stand within while waiting for tho servant to 0hii tho inner door, aftur having rung tho bell. A lietter plan would Ihj to havo one largo dtKr not less than three feet four laches In width and eight feet in height. Cut this door In halves horizontally, if you please., so that the upixr half may Ik opened and tho lower one closed. Hill Jh- -L mbJ vestidule !

This ill bo an advantage in hot weather, as tho lower half can I hi kept clowxl to keep out tho dunt, or intruders, whllo tho upper half is openod. Let tho vestibule bo deep and wldo oiiotiRh to placo a soat ono side; the floor should Ik) of marble or glazed tiles, laid in small patterns; mosaics would In) best; the wood work should should bo solid and substan tial, and neatly lhilshtxl; pollshod If of hard wood, liaised moldmc nml carved panels add richness to tho effect If they can ba In cluded within tba limits of expense. The schoino of color should bo ono of warmth. If tho doors and wood work are of dark wood, the tone of color should lo somo pissing shade of red. If light woods aro ud, buffs or olive greens of proper shado may bo used, with perhaps small border of soft red In the frieze or celling. If the vest! bold door ba glazed with stained glass, It should bo rich and warm la color, indicative of tlio welcome within. David TV. Kikq.
