The fashionable flower of the day in Kngland is the whitu chrysanthemum. It is worn us Da btittonholu , massed as : i bouquet , and nestled among moss for a table decoration , lightly veiled with maidenhair fern. Tinte < l ivy leaves very often form a background for it. On tables clusters of chrysanthemums of va rious colors an.l kinds are to be seen , rich and beautiful in their individual tints. For room decoration wild growths are now .sold on tliu streets by itinerant vend ors which uvon last your would have been cast aside as rubbish. For instance , clusters of the brown , dried up looking "combs and brushes" or "toasors" form ditches , bunches of red hips and haws , thti black berries of the privet , brown grasses from marshlands are placed with the still favorite bnllrushes and feathery pampas t'rass. Thu glistening white 'honesty ' is now seen toweling aloft in vases , v'.xcd with pampas and black her- ried puv-'t. The trailing staglioru moss from Scotch moorlands is arranged on dinner tables , laid Hat , in and out of Jlowor receptacles and china bonbon plates ; and lycopodium moss , studded with llower.s , is also utili/cd in the same way.jTIio crotons with their richly tinted leaves are very popular for dinner tablu decorations. j _ Stlcknoy-I > yor.

Society has succumbed to a conditio of spring fever and lassitude , and th ovunts of the week have been few , an for the most part unpretentious. Oinali has followed ( he lead of New York In a but establishing a huwinc society fc Lent , In. the matter of entertaining has kept religiously aloof from anything of an extensive nature , and the dissipa tions of the week have boon tempered to the season. Lunch parties are In full force. Wisely the restrictions of Lent do not apply to the Innocent Indulgence of tea drinking and talking. To have put a veto on the latter would have been too much for human endurance , nnd would undoubtedly have resulted In a wildly insurgent feminine faction. Too much stringency is sure to breed insubor dination , but let the unruly member bu left unrestricted , and womankind will go through any amount of inconvcnleneo without a murmur. It was a philosopher who made luncheon parties the fashion for Lent. No more harmless , and at the same time eminently satisfactory outlet for feminine ellervcsocnco could be in vented. Madame Illoomllcld'tt Ilrcltnl. The piano recital given by Madame I'annio Hloomh'cltl at the Congregational tabernacle Wednesday afternoon , was a rare treat to music lovers. Tlio audience was unanimously enthusiastic over the performance and agreed that Madame Hluomlleld has a thorough and distinct individuality above any pianist that has ver been heard hero. Her selections light bo called tone poems so distinct as tlio tone coloring over every other eatnro. Kach note was given a duo ignilicance and the idea of the com- oser was clearly demonstrated , in fact , vilh the pianist everything was Mibor- 'inated to the feeling and thought f the composer , and the listener /as invariably carried along with the uncut ot sympathy. No ono thought f methods. It was impossible to bo oolly critical while tlio chords of motion weru being manipulated with ueh a magician's power. Ono could only col. The Chopin selections wore osjiee- illy masterly. Madame Hloomliold in- erprcied as though endowed with tliu ncnlty of absorbing the very inspiration f the composer. The concert ended vitli a dashing rendering of Liszt's march 'llongroi.se. " The recital Thursday veiling was equally line and left the mi- iression on her auditors that a genius vas in their midst.

POLITICS' ' PURE PERSIMMONS Senators Who Think They Have the Big Presidential Pole. PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES.

[ CorresDoml- cnco of the Hr.K.J There nro not many men In the United States senate now who nre In the line of presidential promotion. The most prominent one Is probably bonator Sherman , of Ohio. He Is now onhlsvvav through the south , where , It Is alleged , hols renewing old and making new acquaintances with a view to next year's events. Then comes Senator Allison , of Iowa , vvno may be nominated by the Hipubllcans lu the event the nomination pees ( o the far west. Octi- eral Haw ley , ol Connecticut , probably comes next in thu line of picshlcntlal possibilities. He has a very stiong following , especially In the east and among Foldlcts tluoiighout the country. Mr. KdmtimK of Vermont , Is no longer spoken of for the presidency. Hen- eral Harrison , of Indiana , It Is believed by many here , has had his presidential posslbll- tics advanced by his departuiefrom | the senate on the theory that men are never elected pies- Idcnt while occupjlm ; n seat In the senate. These nio the lepubllcans who may bo nominated tlneo sennt6rs and ono ex-sen- ntor. There Is but ono on the domociatlc .hie . of the chamber whoso name Is ever poken In connection with the prcsldcncj- Ir. Voorhoes , of Indiana. There Is one man .v . ho has come to the front recently that the ouiitry seems to have ovcilooked for n > lacu on the national ticket and who , many hlnk , will come to the fore. This Is John . Ingalls , of Kansas , president mo temporn f the senate. No man has risen mote avidly In Washington 01 the whole country hail Mr. Ingalls , nnd his name Is being mletly mentioned for the v Ice-pi esldency , in : lie event the candidate for piesldent on the ( publican ticket Is taken liom the east. Of louisi1 , It Mr. Sheiman or Mr. Allison , orS ' \-S < > nator Hnirlsnn Is nominatedMr.lngalls ould not bu thought of lor the second place. The most complaints ever uttered against n iresldent have been heard on account of the allure ot .Mr. Cleveland to sign the river and iniboi bill. Representative ( Jnwcnoi , ot Ohio , and Ciiaiiman vYtllls , of Kentucky , > t the committee on rivers nml haibors , say .he bill would have been passed over the veto by n four-llttlis majority In both houses of congresses. Mr. Cleveland's failure to In- , licju his objections to the bill is what ex- asveintes the statesmen. Undoubtedlv thu uost veiplex'lng thine which eonfioiits a congressman Is to see a bill pocketed with Impunltv , nnditnout any means of icdiess being alToided , alter months of toll In Its vreparation ami jearfe of promise to con stituents. No one can estimate the amount ot piomiscs contained in that bill , when It Is consldeicd that tlieiu , vere not two do/en in the 825 congressional distilets nITected more or less by it. Mine titan half of the senators and epiosontatlves nddrcssed.the committee of he two houses In favor ot the niov Islons In corporated In the bill. .Most of them wrote niudreds ot letters and visited the war de partment lepeatcdly in the Interest ot pro visions Iinallv incorporated In the measure. It Is said that litty membois weru elected to : ho Kouiti'-ninth congress on piomlso as to ivhnt they would do lor navigation In tholr tlistrlcts , and then after all has passed both 'louses ' and only awaits the as-unt , of the jiiosideut.

A more nnsry lot ol statesmen ivere never seen those thosu hero on last Mondaj' , It Is said that them wcrcmoio corinpt schemes In the Forty-ninth congress than In any cougicss lei many ye-xrs.

It Is said that lawyers in this city had fees iimountlng to over a quarter of a million of ilollais In the gicnt Choctavv Indian claim , which was based on a Judgment obtained In the snpiemo court of the United States , and w hleh had the appearance of being as straight nnd clean as anything could be. But It failed to receive tlio anprovid'of the house commit tee on apprupilatluiis aud failed to pass into law. law.Little was said about the fact , but tlicio was a stroin : lobbv here in the Intelest of the diiect tax bill. It vvns made up ot lawyeis nnd otheis who expected to reap a tmivest in collecting thu money dim under it to states. Hut it failed. The great coipor.itlonshaving laiso Inteiestsbeforocongress did not como lorwaul and make a light , as would have been expected. Vciy little money was ex pended to defeat the Inter-state commcico bill , and had the rnlhoad corporations known a month before Its passage what they did a day atterwaid the bill would not have become a law. Probably the most money was expended to duteat thu anti-Moimon Dill limn any other. Money ran lilo water for awhile ; but it was spent Injudiciously , nnd had no ell cot. The political combinations made against the bill had moie influence than nnj thing else , strange to say. * j * There are people In Washington who be- llovo that the worry the Hoy. Henry Wnid Heecher had over the confirmation or his son's appointment to a customs eollectorshlp In \ \ ashlngton territory contributed some thing to his demise. Captain Heechei's nom- nntton , it will bo remembered , hung lire in the senate for many months. There were chaiges against his financial dealings when he commanded n steamboat on the hound In the Pacific country , and once or twice the young man's fnthei paid visits to this city tor Ihe pui pose , It was reported at the time , of dealing away the charges or Inducing the iiiesldent to stand by tlio nomination , which lie did , In spite of the determination of the senate 10 reject thu nomination. The young man lb still in the employ of the govern ment , so the Inlliienee of the now dead pieaclicr must have been potent. There Is no doubt that Piesldent Cleveland held Mr. Heccher In veiy high esteem. This vvns so notorious , It will bo remembered , that , during the early fmrt of the present ad mlnistiation , there vvns some talk about the dlvlno going to England as minister to UK court of St. .lames. , Hut Mr. Heecher had IK taste or ambition lor such a position , wore II oilcred him. Hut that ho wielded a nowerfu Inllucncc In the last campaign for Mr. Clevu- land theiu can bu no doubt. Ho not onlj spoku for the democratic nominee , but lu did personal work for the same cause. H ( felt a keen Interest In seeiiu Mr. Hlalno do fcated , because ho did not like him in an ; capacity , and when once his nidor was en listed In any causa it grew till It was uncou- tiollable. A number of times during the past six jears Mr. Heecher1 had \isited this city Usually he came In the cnpacltv of lectiuer and occupied the pulpit nt the First Congrc pitionnl church , xlo draw larzo audience : of the best people. Hu alwavi stopped at the Ebbltt , and 1 an told tlmt a largo ininiberof cltUens wouli go to the hotel tor meals during his stay simply to get to see and hear him In his mon private capacity than he appealed In vvhei on the rostrum. When Mr. Heecher catered the dining room ho was Invariably seated at a tab ! alonennd ere ten minutes elapsed ther would not bo a vacant heat nt the tablu oc cupled by him. Instantly upon his seatlni himself there would bo a movement nbou the dining-room. Kvervbody who knew him and many who did not know him pert-oiiHllv Insisted upon going to his table. Am scarcely a moment during the hourand n ha ! nt the table would all imvu sober luces. I was a Etinleht season of laughing trom th moment ono sat down bcsldo him till ho vvn out of sight. Ho insisted that torlous sub jects ought not to bo diseased nt ihn dlnin table , ns they retarded digestion Hut these who i &avv him hei during ids visit when the son's DOM I nation hung tire before the senate recall thn ho appeared a derco 'Mirlotis , nnd that h' ' laughter at times appeased forced. Hu sal that this w as the lint time that a member d his Immediate family had had approblui cast upon his liitegrlty uiid that It cut him t thu quick. Thoto appeared to bu ono el < mentln.Mr. HceclierV piiduthat stood hlt'lit tunu all others , and that was his rcputatio for honMty.

In my mind 1 now sec the defeiife nrornratlons made for the Harbor of New Yolk , for Instance. It consists of a mine Inland a shoit dlstaiico. In U are lo cated mortars and some illlcs.

There Is no uarthwoik , 10 sand , no stone , lion , steel or other ob truction. Theio Is nothing but the level ground around the place , and consequently lomark lor the enemy to shoot at. There nay be ( lowers and a beautiful park at the Kilnt nothing to Indicate that the place Is he point deieslstance ot the whole const.

"Wo do not want In the eonstiuctlon of a lavy a lot of heavy , slow Iron-dads or heav- ly-nnnorcd crnlseis.

Wu should open our narkcU to the competition ot the world In ncpaiing forawni , anil get the very latest mentions. * # The guboinatoiial campaign in Ten nessee was a family alfair thionghoiit and a oailnc farce withal , " said a southern sena- : or to-day. "Tho dcmnnats nominated n man named Hob Taylor. Then the republi cans determined to match that with another ind trom the same lamlly. anil thereloio pitched on Alt 1'nylor as theh nominee. "Alt and Hob Taj lor stumped anil llddlcd he state together , for thej were both fair country tiddlers as well as lair countiy stumpers. While liob was speaking Alt' ivas mUlllng. and vice versa. Ami so they ivi'iit through the state county by countj ; and as the campaign nearetl its end it was seen that the contest would boa veiy close one , and therefoio each one of the opposing "jiotheis put an extra dt-giei1 ot limberness into their jaws and their elbows , nnd they .ulilli'd and IHldled , and snouted and spouted until the gallusud anil copucrascd breeches follows just howled with enthusi asm and mndetho hills and \allevs ot old Tennessee echo and re-echo 1th the vocal ami musical .sounds. "When they got Into the mountain coun- ies ot Hast Tennessee Alt felt that ho had .he bulge on Hob there , lor those counties aio ncaily all strongly republican , and ho .ailed . In to just lay Robert out on the cool- ng-boaiil. In order to capture the inouu- aiiiccrs , the more eflcctually ho resetted to hu native lingo , and the way ho thus wailed nto the allcctions of his hilltop auditors was just snrurlsing. Nothing daunted , Robert followed suit , and essajcd to one more than Alf had put up. To do that he announced in nil his East Tcniiessen i-pecclies that "ef any ot vou durnod galoots hml a big bellied jug out thar in the dog-Kennel with a coin cob stopper In It jlst wade In and take j er over- lastlni : till ot thu truu spuint ot Jncksonlns dcmociacj' . " This capttned the ciovvd. The speakers stand became a silent waste w Ithln live minutes , and everybody took to the dog- kennel. Now , Alf Is known to bo a veiysly young man , while Hob Is of a mote Finnic and open nature. Alt had kept his ejo on mother liob , and when he saw him breaking for thu kennel and taller weeds and bushes lie knew that some sort of a game to win the heaits of the mountaineers was afoot. So ho slipped aiotind on Robert's Hank and vvns lewarded by lirst seeing him take a thundering big swig out ot n corpulent jug nnd then tuck it deftly away among the u-cds. Ho nt once slipped away nnd hired a darkey who lived near to run homo and brine him a bucket of buttermilk nnd an empty juir about as big as Hob's. Ho hist emptied the contents ot Hob's Into his own jug ana then tilled Hob's plumb full of buttermilk. "After taking n hearty swig he. too , slipped away , caiiylnuHob't whisky with him. "The hist man who found Hob's juu after his genctous Invitation was a big , Mx-foot , raw ami gaunt mountaineer. He pulled out the cob with a whoop , turned the jug almost bottom up niul let about a pint of the acldu- ous contents tumble down his throat. His look vvns one ot calm peacctulness while ele vating the jug , which was soon followed by an expression ot In- tensu surpilso nnd hueo disgust followed by an aspect of llnmlng and icd-hot Indignation. Hu dioppfd the j % as It It vvns red-hot , jumped nboiit live feet into the air and yelled out : "Dod bum his ontiy hide : jest let me clap my tatcr-dlggers onto him , " and oil ha started lei the stand. The next one to stimplo Hob's whisky fainted out right , nnd soon thn excitement spread all through the ciovvd. Soon Hob arose to make the closing speech , but vvns received with yells nnd execrations , In which "buttermilk , " " " " for Alt Tavlor " "tho tratitl , nnd "hooray , took the leading parts. Hob looked things unutterable nt Alt , who met his ga/.u with n face mantled ovei with nn expression of happy Innocence. Then Hob tried to pacify his lormer 11 lends , but It was no go. A few of thu old Iron-clad confeder- ntea still stuck to him , but the other half voted straight out for Alt , nnd "don't care a dod-dlnp who knows It , " ns one ot them expressed It , And now the democracy of enstTennessee nre divided Into two warring nnd Irreconclllnblo factions known ns "Hut- termllkers , " "and antl-Hnttcrmllkers. a con dition of thlnys that will surely give the state to the republicans In ISbS. " * Every business man nnd every newspaper In Washington Is praj ing for an e.xtra ses sion. All sorts of reasons are advanced to show that thu country will go to the dogs unless the piesldunt calls coneicss together to consider the deficiency bill nnd the bill providing for the rivers nnd harbors on which de-ponds the work ot tilling In thu Potomac tlais. Thn departure of congress so early In the season makes a vast difference to the business of the public at the capital nnd no onn regrets the decision of the president nol to call art extra session more than the hotel keepers and laundry men.

Binilca as a Means ot fOxprcsslon. In the first place , there Is the presenta tion smile of society. You are presented to a lady , who not only bows lo show that she puts herself at your feet , and perhaps gives her hand to show that shu docs not mean to pull hair or scrateh ( I still follow the doubtless correct evolu tion theory of ceremonials ) , but she "smiles and smiles" to show that her mood is ono of sweet amiability , and that you are therefore , for the ] irc.cnt , safe. Then there is the pretty , pearly , rip pling laugh , with which vour "nut brown" anecdote , whieh has been heard already twice this oveninir , is received. Hero , certainly , there Is no pent-up ens- cado of emotion that seeks for an outlet. The sweet lady'a laugh is partly for your sake , that you may feel the . oft thrill of , Helf-applauso ; and partly for her own , because she knows she laughs well. Slio pulls it exactly as if it wcro a stop In aa onran. Then thcro is tlio bitter laugh of the sad , sad young man , who wishes to im press noon your mind tlio hollowncsH that all thing- , have for him ; and the woll-managcd sniilo of Juquos , the elder cynic , who thinks thus to wither your youthful asnirations , and at the winio time to suggest his own unfuthomcd ilenps of cruel disillusion.
