Following auniversal tradition, they

mot every ute has an apartment
of its own, and one evidently vied
with the other in the matter of deco

apartment i differently arranged,
and each in itself is a model ul art.
Tbe officers' private rooms are
dreims of beanty and pictures of
comfort New York City bar
a fine exhibit of musical instru
ments. There is a very handsome
pipe-organ white and gold and
quite a number of violins, owned
by women-violinists, witb photo
graphs of the owners attached. A
man was playing "Anuie Laurie"
on the organ, while we were in
ther, and it seemed to us we had
never heard anything more beauti
ful. In the Connecticut room
there is a collection of books, writ
ten by Connecticut women these
In themselves speak for tbe State.
Then tip-stairs there is an extensive
library of books, written by women
only, which prove quite a snare
for the book-lover, and makes us
very proud of our women.
The "Dacgbters of the Revo
lution" have a most interesting ex
hibit. It would have taken us
several days to have studied these
articles as we would have liked
we did not see half of tbe in, but
will tell you about a few. There
are a pair of buckskin knee
breeches, a vest and some silk
stocking!, worn by a surgein in the
Revolutionary Army at the fur-
render of CornwallU; a lantern,
used in New London, when Arnold
and his British soldiers burned the
town; a lantern, used by General
Washington at Valley Forge; a
sword, used by Washington, and a
flint-locket musket, used, in the
Revolutionary Wsr; a scarf-pin,
presented to Nellie Brown, as be
ing the most beautiful young lady
at a ball given in Washington's
honor. It is a pin which he wore
and has bis initials upon it, made
of bis own hair; a silver pitcher,
made by Faul Revere, the young
patriot, whose midnight rido Long
fellow has so beautifully immortal
ized in verse; a silver mace, pre
sented to Norfolk, Va., by Lieut.
Gov. Dinwiddie, in 1753. It is sur
mounted by a crown, bearing the
arms of England, Ireland, Scot
land and Wales, and is one of tbe
most handsome things we have ever
seen; a pair of wooden shoes, worn
over in the Mayflower, a silver
spoon brought over by Wm. Brad
ford and a piece of a quilt, em
broidered in colors by RoseStandish;
Stephen Hopkins' inkstand, used
by the signers of the Declaration of
Independence, and a hand-painted
silk wedding-dress, two hundred
years old. To one who loves hisk
ry, as we do, these relics are very
fascinating. There is in this build
ing an old New England kitchen,
which make you think ot stories
you have read yon seem to have
suddenly stepped back into the
eighteenth century. There is not
only the old-fashioned fire-place,
with all of it accompanying furni
ture, but every thing else as well
the Bible, the cradle, the chairs,
the clock, the candle stick, the old
blue-china one can almost fancy
the house-wife, and the little Puri
tan maiden, seated there embroider
iog her sampler. Down in the
kindergarten apartment, the Phila
delphia Home for Deaf-Mules, witb
three teachers and eight pupils,
give daily exhibitions of its
methods of teaching the deaf to
speak as hearing children speak.
It is both wonderful and interest
ing to hear those children talk and
watch their lip-reading. They are
about as well advanced a hearing
children of their age and converse
just as intelligently they use no
signs at all, but talk just as we do.
They went (rough with the calis
thonics drill and dumb-bell exer
cises, keeping as perfect time as
hearing children would have done.
This school will tend teachers into
private homes anywhere irr the
United States, and we wish that all
wbo have deaf obildren could place
them under such teaobing.

many things that went through the

and letters. There i a Bible, that

life, on the tide uf which can be
seen tbe dent of the bullet in the
leather. Tbe cradle in which
Jeff Davis was rocked is a curiosi
ty that many a person pauses to
examine. It is a very plain look
ing piece of furniture, beside the
dainty ribbon-trimmed cradle of
this day and time, but in a South
erner's eyes it is far more valuable.
An interesting article is a crszy
quilt, every square of which bas s
bictory. It is made of scrips from
the cravats, hat-linings, vests, etc.,
worn by uotedConfederate soldiers.
The roost prominent square is made
from a piece of a Confederate flag,
bordered with crepe, taken from
Jeff Davis' bier, while he lay in

Canton's Bid for the Capitol.
We believe the papers generally
are in favor of a new State House.
It is now iu order for some good
town, near the center ol the State, to
agree to give a "pretty penny,"
providing tbe Capital is moved to
that point. The State is hardly
able tobuild a Capitol without help,
Tbe Southern Herald, Dec. 13th,
Wonder if the newspapers out
side of Jackson were to urge tbe re
moval of the seat of government in
ca?e the legislature decided that a
new capitol was necessary, that the
journals and journalists of that city
would not sing a differ eut song.
Magnolia Gazette.
The following dispatch from Can
ton to the T.-D. under date of Dec
16th, sounds almost like en echo to
the foregoing: "Canton offers 1500,
GOO to the State of Mississippi as a
donation if the legislature will agree
to locate the Capitol here. The
Canton Picket came out this after
noon in quite a lengthy article ad
vocating the removal. The money
is already pledged, and people here
are in earnest. Canton i the geo
graphical centre of the State. She
now has out contracts for a large
school building, waterworks and
electrio lights and a thirty-ton ice
plant, which will give oil modem
facilities, and inasmuch as it soems
to bo a general sentimeDt through
out the Slate tbat a new Capitol is
necessary, people here ask why
should not Canton get it with the
handsome offer she makes to the
State. Madison's Representatives
will be instructed to push the mat
ter, and use every argument and in
fluence to accomplish the change.
Several parties have generously of
fered to donate a site in addition to
tbe handsome cash offer. So pros
pects seem brighter st 11 for the
'Celestial City.' (
The streets are crowded every
day with cotton wngons, and the
people ot Madison county are in a
bettercondition than since the war."
Now if Jackson is so anxious to
see a new State House, and desirti
to have a $1,000,000 building, let
the enthusiastic and enterprising
citizens of that city come up with
half the amount and not another
word will be said about moving the
seat of government, either by mem
hereof the legislature or anyone
else. Otherwise we are in favor of
Canton as the Capital, even should
some other town make a better of
fer. This one comes fust, and is a
liberal one. All things considered,
Canton is the most fitted of any
town near the center of the State
It is a good town, a live progres
sive town, and the town and coun
ty are filled with Well-to-do people.
Canton is only 22 miles north of
Jackson, but is that much nearer
the States center. It hasn't a vast
number of railroads running into it,
but we don't know tbat the scarcity
of railroads is any disadvantage.
Consider Baton Rouge, for instance
Of course Jackson would regret to
no longer be the Capital, but we
know of no town which would be a
littlo hurt. Scarcely any other

Oar Washington Letter.
WasHiVGTOs.Dec. 13, 1SP5
Democrats have every reason tn
be perfectly satisfied with the Con
gressional outlook. If the repub
licans adopt the policy of introduc
ing fake impeachment resolutions
for the purpose of abusing demo.
cratic officials, instead of doing any
thing to relieve the distress which
they had so much to say about dur-
ng the last Congressional campaign
there will certainly be a general re
action in favor of the democratic
party, and that reaction will be
equally certain to come if the Re
publicans do any tariff tinkering
along th) lines of the McKinley bill.
The stories about the winning and
losing of votes between the ballots
taken by the Republican National
Committee to decide upon the city
which was to get the convention no
doubt make good reading for those
who do not know tbe facts. The
only one of the competing cities
that never was in it was San Fran
cinco, notwithstanding its standing
second when the convention was
knocked down to St. Louis. The
order had been given out by the
Piatt-Quay Reed combine that tbe
Pacific coast must be jollified by
giving San Francisco a large vote,
bu not large enough to carry the
convention there. The convention
was sold. There is no doubt about
that, and either Chicago, Pittsburg,
or New York could have secured itj
by raising the bid of St. Louis. In
fact some of the gentlemen repre
senting Chicago were told alter the
first ballot, in which Chicago only
got eight votes, that Chicago could
have the convention if tbe price
$100,000 was put up. The Chica
go committee, after a consultation,
refused to pay that much, and after
three more ballots the convention
was given to St. Louis simply be
cause that city had paid more for
it than any other. The setting of
June 16th as tbe date for the Re
publican convention will make the
Democratic convention unusually
early if the custom of the party in
power holding its convention first
be followed. The democratic steer
ing committee, consisting of Sena
tors Gorman, Cockrell, Blackburn,
Harris, Brice, Walthall. Murphy,
White, and Jones, of Ark., met to
discuss Senate re-organization, and
decided that no obstructions should
be placed in the way of the Repub
licans re-organizing the Senate as
soon as they can produce enough
votes, but that no move should be
made by Democrats to voluntarily
surrender what they now have.
Re organization will be easy for the
Republicans if they can agree upon
a slate for president pro tern, and
chairmen of committees that will
command the full Republican vote,
as the Populists have agreed to ab
sent themselves when tbe vote is
taken. For all practical purpose
this will be just the same as their
voting with the Republicans, and it
will probably be just as beneficial
to the Populists, and still they can
go home and pull the wool over the
eyes of tbeir constituents by pro
ducing the Congressional Record to
show that they did not vote to help
Republicans re-organize tbe Senate.
The man who is willing to make
a monkey of himself can always
start a sensation in Congress that
will bring him a temporary notorie
ty. The first to do so this session
was Representative Barrett, of
Boston, who offered a resolution
impeaching Ambassador Bayard
because he bad dared to exercise
the right of free speech and to criti
cise the doctrine of protection. Of
course Barrett know ng well a;

A Seasonable Word.
Dr. Palmer ia delivering feriVs
of Sunday Evening Lectures on
"FirstThings." The second lecture
was on "The First Woman." We
reproduce the following from an
excellent summary by the New
Orleans Piwyune:
"A woman is always in her place
as a helpmeet. Otherwise she is
it of it. She comes to ma i's sir'e
from whom she sprung, to reflect
bis own likeness. Sbe must help
him in his plans. All the functions
of-life could not be carried out
without ber. Each is helpless with
out the other. Sbe was created to
discharge the special oGee of the
helpmeet.
"A to the true subordination of
woman, I will say that she i man's
equal, but he is the head."
Dr. Palmer related the story of
the temptation, and how tbe subtle
serpent entered tb garden and
approached the woman instead of
going to the head to Adam.
"1 do not undertake to say, that
the serpent knew she was the weaker,
of the two. I will not undertake
to say that the serpent would not
have been successful had he ap
proached Adam first. Any way,
be made the woman his instrument.
II deceived her. Huw much better
would it have been for Eve if she
had not forgotten that she was the
helpmeet, and had sent the serpent
to Adam. She was a little too pro
gressive. She saw tbe tree of life
was beautiful, and she recognized
tbe possibilit es of becoming greater
than she was. She felt the joy of
anticipating her elevation to a
station higher than the one in which
the Lord had placed her. Since
she fell the world has been turned
upside down. It will always be
while men and women forget
God's teaching, and get out of their
places.
"In tbe fact of man's fall the
power of the woman over him is
fully illustrated. Out ot his love
for her, he shared her destiny.
"A woman's glory lies in her
sex in that peculiar quality be
longing to her as a woman. If she
wishes to swuy the wor.d, she will
remain a true woman. An effemi
nate man is a parody upon his sex,
but a mannish woman is a satire
upon her own. When a woman
endeavor to be more than God in
tended she should be, she abdicates
that power which belongs .o her by
reason of her sex that God given
power. She will be constantly loved
as long as she knows her place.
"Woman is the stay of the church
because she is a simple helper. She
eirries forward the cause of the
Master. God's blessing is always
invoked by ministers upon the
women who aid in tbe work of
saving the world.
"Man is more conspicuous, but
woman comes behind with her
gentle bands, assuaging pain and
relieving the pangs and sorrows of
the human heart."
Not long ago Mr. A. B. Stronach
sent a letter to Alexander White,
a fur dealer in New York city, and
enclosed him a check on the Farm
ers and Commercial Bank. The
letter was written byMr.Stronaoh's
book-keeper, ai.d tbe check signed
by .Mr. Stronach. It was not re.
ceived by Mr. White, hut after beat
ing about a while was sent to a Mr
Alexander White in Chicago. On
day this week the letter and check
were sent to the Commercial and
Farmers' Bank by the Cbica
White, wbo said that he could
neither make out the signature on
the letter or on the check, and that
in bis opinion the writer of the
letter and the signer of the check
should both go to a writing school
Mr. Stronach and bis book-keeper,
after seeing the letter written by
Mr. White, say tbey have no ob
jection to going to a writing school,
but unless Mr. White can recom
mend an instructor who can teach
tbem to write a better hand than
he was taught they will decline to
matriculate, Mr. A. B. Stronach,
