that there are many republicans in the
country who would like to see Mr. Blaine

of the nomination ef some other man.

Tue Government credit was always
good until the war came on. Speaker
Carlisle.
The statement is not true. A loan was
authorized about the middle of the year
1S60, asking for $21,000,000, at interest
not exceeding six per cent. Less than
half of it was obtained at the figures in
dicated. So low had the credit of the
Government fallen that, to secure the
other half of the loan, interest ranging
from 0 to 12 per cent had to be givtn,
the average being about 11 per cent.
Even at these rates there was such dif
ficulty experienced in getting this small
amount of money that Secretary of the
Treasury suggested to Congress that the
States be asked, as surity for the repay
ment of such money as the government
might find necessary to borrow, to pledge
tits deposts received by them from the
Government in 183G, under the act for
the distribution of the surplus. This
Joan, it may be well to state, was not to
meet the expenses of the war, but was
levied to pay the ordinary expenditures
of Government in a period of profound
peace. In the period referred to Mr.
Carlisle's own party w& in control of
the executive department ol the Govern
ment, James Ducanan being president of
the United States. Globe-Democrat.
UNNEVES8A R 1" VELA Y.
It was the duty of the executive de
partment of the government to proceed
promptly with the work necessary to
carry out the law proyiding for the open
ing of the Sioux reservation. Thus fur,
Iiowiver, nothing has been done, and iu-
formation from the reservation is to the
effect that the fullest advantage is being
taken of the delay by those who are op
posed to the cession. The white men
who are interested in having the reserva
tion remain as it is are reported to be
rery busy sowing among the Indians the
seeds of dissention and dissatisfaction,
and are meeting with some success. Cer
tain of the chiefs, als who are unwill
ing to surrender a part of their domain,
are working hard to strengthen the op
position. The most influential men anions?
the 8ioux are understood to approve the
project, but it is not snfe to trust too
much to this. Indian assurances arc en
titled to only a limited degree of confi
dence, and to bo certain of them it is
well to have them in such form that they
cannot be affected by a subsequent change
of mind.
A great many people are anxiously
awaiting the time when the reservation
will bs declared opened. It is highly
probable that within a year after this Is
done every acre subject to white settle
ment will be taken up. The extension
of railroads through the reservation is
also contemplated and will doubtless be
begun as soon as it is assured that this
territory will be opened. It ought to be
the policy of the government to reach J
this result with the least possible delay,
and as the work to be done ia compara
tively simplo its postponement is un
necessary and unwise. Bee.
A Warning.
The modes of death's approach are va
rious, and statistics show conclusively
that more persons die from disease of the
hroat and lungs thaa any other. It is
probable that everyone, without excep
tion, receives vast numbers of Tubercle
Germs into the system and where these
germs fall upon suitable soil they start
into life and develop, at first slowly and
is shown by n slifht tickling sensation in
the throat and if allowed to continue their
ravages they extend to the lungs produc
ing Consumption and to the head, caus
ing Catarrh. Now all this is dangerous
and if allowed to continue will in time
cause death. At the onset you must act
with promptness; allowing a cold to go
without attention is dangerous and may
loose you your life. As soon as you feel
that something is wrong with your throat,
lungs or nostrils, obtain a bottle of Bos
shec's German Syrup. It will giye you
immediate relief.
AMUSEMENTS IN PARIS.
The "Ham" and "Gingerbread" Fair.
General Noise, Bustle and Dtn.
French people have very strango manias,
and one of the most peculiar is to offer
themselves at stated periods amusements
in which there is nothing really amusing.
We are now treated to the "Ham fair."
and in a day or two this must give place
to the "Gingerbread fair," not les3 dear
to good Parisians. The booths on the
Boulevard Richard Lenoir, to tho number
of SCO, are filled with sausages, hams and
bird. IJut sinco the opening of the fair
the rain has poured in torrents and tho
venders cross their arms and disconso
lately wait for customers. Every year,
just beforo Easter, all Paris feels the ne
cessity of eating pork in some form, oth
erwise there would be no "Ham fair."
Tho "Gingerbread fair" that begins im
mediately after LeDl and continues six
weeks, i3 tho most important of Parisian
fairs; it is held in the Avenue de Vin
cennes, at tho Barriere du Trone, half a
mile beyond tho sito of tho Bastile. The
road is not an agreeable one, and to many
it is known only becauso of Pere la Chaise.
There aro days reserved for the fashion
able world, and then In tho Boulevard
Voltaire may be seen private carriages
threading their way among carts and cabs
nntil tho fair Is reached. Gingerbread is
very cheap; we can buy M. Camot for two
sous, and Gen. Boulanger in full uniform,
with fine beard made of anise seed, is sold
for the same price. The dust always
gives quite a relish to these delicacies,
and as we whisk it off it Hies away only
to return with re-enforceraeuts. Bat the
pooplo regale themselves, notwithstand
ing, and tho urchins, besmearing their
faces and smacking their lips, constantly
repeat: "Comma e'est bonl"
In the center of the fair are numerous
stalls of charlatans, swings, merry go
rounds, circuses, riding schools with
wooden horses, balls, to wbicb dancers are
admitted for five sous in short, a thou
sand tents that cover noise, bustle and
general din. The theatres have a most
attractive form an Oriental palace and a
portico with Doric columns. The subjects
of the plays are usually taken from fairy
talcs. We admire the device of the wrest
lers, "Academie d'Armes; on peut lutter
avee eux, mais les toucher Impossible!"
a striking union of words! In front of the
wrestlers' tent there is always a great
crowd. The master of ceremonies has an
immense speaking trumped and continu
ally shouts: "Will yon wrestle? There is
a glove." The professionals beckon tho
amateurs Into the ring, and together they
roll in tho sand. The triumphant profes
sional exclaims: "There you are! Rise if
you. wish." But the crowd often insists
that all has not been fair, and the struggle
recommences. If the amateur be victori
ous the professional is angry, and so it
goes.
As night approaches tho dancing halls
are brilliant with electric lights, the
group of visitors become more talkative,
gayer, in fact, forgetful that if they have
not come in carriages there is scarcely a
possibility of return to Paris unless on
foot. There are no cab stands, omni
buses; tho horse cars accommodate com
paratively few, and tho Seine boats are
always fulL But the crowd crushes,
jostles and hurries one down the Boule
vard Voltaire, Place de la Rcpublique, the
Grand Boulevards and Champs Elysees
until home is reached. Baroness Althca
Salvador in New York World.
Comor of Uttle School Girl.
Outsido a tailor's store on Canal street,
east of Broadway, stood a row of dum
mies used for displaying samples of the
tailor's wares, all very lifelike, but rather
wooden. Pour p. m. A small crowd of
little girls, going home from school, prob
ably, pass the store. They have seen tho
dummies 6corcs of times beforo very
likely, but now, for the first time, a spirit
of fun and mischief seizes one, and she
begins to pat one of tho pamted wooden
faces in an affectedly loving manner, ask
ing him; "Won't you take me to the
theatre to-night, ducky?" end other such
questions. Tho other girls are not slow
to catch the humor, and soon each dummy
has a "mash," and the whole are sur
rounded by a crowd of laughing, joking
children, and many passers by stop to see
how far the fun will go. Tho appecrance
of tho tailor at tho dcor, with a Now,

THE TEST OF TASTE.
DECKING OF THE HEAD AND DRAP
ING OF THE FACE.
Tli Mala Baraga's Vow of Personal Or
nament at I on Dawn lug; Artlstle Taste.
BlsMCullna Attire- la the Middle Ages,
toots. Gloves and High 11 aU
Tbe bead has always been tbe test of taste.
In civilized countries, where tailordom ob
tains and millinery means more than a
length of fringe and a string of beads, sleeves
have run tbe beads bard, and skirts have
made a good third. Shoos, too, have not
been out of it, and ornamentation has been
as a congeries of minor little imps frisking
about tbe bigger competitors for tbe wreath
of mingled feathers, flowers, lace and jewels,
made and offered by the genius of bad taste.
From tbe earliest times when man first
finds tbat be has bands and can use them be
puts part of bis newly acquired powers into
tbe docking of his head and tbe draping of
bis face. Now tie twists his hair into mon
strous shapes, standing out from bis scalp
like a hunchbacked aureole; now be contents
himself with a more symmetrical nimbus,
whereof each snaky stiffened ray extends be
yond tbe breadth of bis shoulders. Anon be
sticks a few feathers among the clay daubed
mass, and anon be lets it bang down in
greasy elf locks to his neck, taking care,
however, to travesty the natural shape of bis
bead by fillet", which bind on to it every kind
of frightful and ungainly excrescence; or he
laiuts bis face in patterns of red and yellow
and blue; or makes tbat painting permanent
with tattooing needlee and indigo; or he
bangs heavy weights in his ears; or destroys
tbe shape of his under lip; or does something
insane with his teeth; or in some way distorts
and disfigures himself under the name of or
namentation and with the idea of making
himself a very smart fellow indeed.
In savage life it is the brave who thus
smartens himself up with most intention.
The squaw follows humbly at a distance,
walking on the same road, but in a narrower
groove, and with more modest mien. The
brave is tho one who is "en evidence;" tbe
squaw has simply to work for his comfort
and bear children to keep the tribe alive.
But be must strike terror into the hearts of
bis enemies, as well as make himself an object
of admiration to the docile females, who ac
cept him at his own valuation, and are wooed
exactly as birds and beasts are wooed one
part by the display of masculine charms.
another part taken by force. Hence he
pranks himself out in paint and feathers in
the teeth and claws and skins of the wil l
beasts he has overcome in tbe scalps of the
enemies be has slain in this rude attempt to
express a dawning artistic sense, and that
botch at ornamentation which is disfigure
ment and not embellishment in this way and
that he makes himself a love worthy object
to the girls of his tribe; a model to te hero
after imitated to the boys; a terror to his
foes who count his deeds of prowess by his
questionable trophies; and something im
measurably hideous and disgusting to all
civilized lolk with whom becomes in contact.
This lavish personal embellishment of tho
male savage continued far into tho days c.f
civilization. When the middle ages were
tbe wedge between classic times and modern
days we had mail clad nights with plumes of
portentous size and sweep, or close fitting
skin dresses left nothing to be desired in the
way of simplio and something in the way
of modestv, wlme the modicum of human
force, which can never be got rid of, ex
pressed itselt in parti colored legs, and shoes
that were surely the design of some maniac
at large. Hats and cloaks and purfled
breeches points and tags and lace frills at
the wrists and knees boots which wonM
have carried a small child in the upper gap
curlet wigs that were intrinsically as ugly
as a Zulu's clay daubed nimbus waistcoats
that came nearly to tbe knees breeches too
tight for practicable sitting every kind of
absurdity wnicn bad taste could invent and
folly consent to wear, have we poor silly
humans undergone in our zeal for fashionabla
martyrdom; and only quite of late years has
the masculine common sense declared itself
once for aU in favor of simplicity and demo
cratic unity, and a costume tbat is useful
and possible to all alike.
But even now our exquisites torture tbeiv.
selves in tight boots and tighter gloves, ?a
well as In guillotine collars; while that per
ennial high hat, which will not fade down to
its roots whatever the cold blast of criticism
may blow on it, is the true survival of the
savage's wondrous headgear. Which brings
as round to the point of our paper the test
of the head that last stronghold of bad
taste and folly that stumbling block of the
aesthetically weak. Here we have it still in
force. With the comfortable, useful, unfine,
democratic and national body clothing of
men, we have still this remnant of barbarism
this reminder of tbe time when the men of
ttie world made their hair into hunchback
aureoles, wore feathers such as we see in
Albert Durer, or fall bottomed wigs as in
the time of Queen Anne and the first threo
Georges of England, and wrecked themselves
on this fatal rock which is to good taste what
Sin bad's inland of loadstone was to all the
ship? that sailed thereby. Hew York Home
Journal.
A Society Gift's Brlc--Brac.
But the room of a society girl whose name
I could mention, but may not The odd
things upon the walls and lying scattered
about are a wonderful mystery to the uniui
tiated. A variety of cigars suspended from
the mautel by different bued ribbons, or a
bunch of cigarettes attached to a picture
frame by means of a huge ribbon bow, these
are easily known for what they are; but a
pretty little box on the toilet table, with the
inscription: "Cremated July 12, 1SS7," calls
for many a guess. Tbe open lid discloses a
heap of gray ashes, with another inscription:
"Mount Desert, July 12, '87." It is the ashes
of a cigar smoked by the fair owner during
a mild flirtation of the last season. A parcel
of canes, trophies won in fencing matches,
occupies a prominent wall space, and a velvet
placque mounted with pipes of all kinds,
from common clay through cob and briar
wood to meerschaum, are souvenirs of gentle
men friends. All sorts of riding whips rise
like cat tatts from a large vase, a pair of oars
marked "Isles of Shoals" are crossed over
the door, and a genuine fishnet is draped
over a piece of statuary. These are quite
common souvenirs of vacation delights and
tender recollections, but many of tbe girls
vie with each other in collecting oddities.
One of them exhibits a tiny Japanese bowl
filled with shining objects of ivory white
ness. "These are the first teeth of my friends
babies," she explains. Clara Belle in Chicago
