"A nous fraud of the almanac." wrote James Russell Lowell of May. That is a sentiment that the hero of the "late fight" is understood to subscribe to since he comprehends the Mayday verdict. Mr. Quigg's; speech in the house Wednesday was short but to the point. "It is humbug," he said, referring to Tom Johnson's Coxey resolution. ,* A week's talk would not have made the fact more plain. A mill corporation of Fall River has made during the last twelve months a profit of $141,000 on an Invested capital of §000.000. There is an object lesson that proposed tariff reform is not in imical to industry. If Postmaster General Bissell's policy of debarring saloonkeepers from holding office had been enforced during the Harrison administration, there would have been a permanent vacancy in the office of vice president. 777' Small-pox is decreasing in Chicago, and with the advent of warm weather will soon disappear. The plague has been a serious injury to the business .interests of the city, and all lines of trade have felt it keenly. Thirty saloons in Dubuque have been closed on account ot the new millet law. As about two hundred re main, however, there is no danger that the citizens will suffer from an over powering and unquenchable thirst— in this world, at least. Only three United States senators are of foreign birth— McMillan, Pasco and Walsh. Here is one official body, at least, to which the objection of foreignism cannot be urged; and yet it is the one body in tho whole country that is the least American in spirit and purpose. The change just noted in the owner ship ot the Chapin mine, one |of the largest in Northern Wisconsin, will re sult in the resumption of work there after a suspension of nearly ten months. This will be welcome news to nearly live thousand persons who formerly sub-' sisted on labor performed there. fTHE successor of :, Senator i Stock bridge, of Michigan, recently deceased will probably be Congressman S. M.' Stephensou, the milionairo lumbermen from the upper peninsula. Mr. Ste phenson is not a man of marked ability, but he has ''dead loads of money," arid I that is the only qualification the people , of that state seem to require' of their senators.

There was never any suspicion 1 , at tached to the ballot boxes until the Re publican city committee j insisted on at taching their seals to those of the elec tion judges.

AGAIN VINDICATES, * Not satisfied with vindicating Col. Davidson in its issue of yesterday.' fol lowing its numerous previous enforced vindications of many others, the Pioneer Press proceeds to vindicate Judge Flan drau in what he said in his speech at the Auditorium on the evening of April M last concerning the candidacy of F. B. Doran. The judge said he had lived in St. Paul for nearly forty-one years, and until Mr. Doran had been elected to the common council of the city a short time ago he bad never known or heard of him. This remark created a good deal of criticism by papers and speakers, all claiming that it was the misfortune of tbe judge and not of Mr. Doran that he was unacquainted with the candidate. "> The P.P. now comes out with the truth as follows: 7 "The Republicans made a mistake in nominating a candidate for mayor who, though thoroughly worthy of the honor that he sought, was not sufficiently well known to our people, either as a politi cian or a man of business, to make the campaign against a gentleman of as great personal popularity as Robert A. Smith. He would have' made an admi rable mayor, possibly most admirable in those very particulars in which those who did not know him were doubtful. But that was just the trouble; there were so many who did not know him. In a canvass which is crowded into a few weeks in a big city like this, it is an essential of success to choose as a leader some man who needs no intro duction, and has not to make acquaint ance with the voters," and so on to the end. (JMKffllLli This nomination was, for the reasons above set out by the P.P., only one of the many blunders of the 'Republicans. It was followed by a continuation of simi lar blunders by the P. P., and uniform next day retractions, until the people lost all confidence in anything the paper said, and the necessary consequence re sulted in the election of the Democratic candidate. If the foresights of the P. P. were as reliable as its hindsights it would make quite a sagacious leader of public sentimeur, but this last conces sion to the better judgment of its Demo cratic opponents will destroy what little lingering hold upon the public .confi dence it might otherwise have had left. Ta, ta. P. F. The P. P. apologized to Col. David son yesterday. There seems to be an idea prevalent that echoes ot "the . late ■ fight" have been "flashed to Kiefer" at Washing ton. ■ 7:77- By the aid of a Democratic mayor and council, Mr. McCardy will now be able to actually pay off some of the city debt.: ' ■:■■■-':-/''//. BRICE'S READY RELIEF. Senator Brice 'again asserts that a new tariff bill has been prepared and will be passed by the senate before the close of the present month. .He refuses to give any details, but is positive in his assurance that the measure will receive the approval of all the Democratic sena tors, with ' the - possible exception of Senator Hill. There is a good deal of unaccountable and unwarranted mystery, connected with this new measure that is so confi dently advertised as a panacea for all our present ills. It seems to have origi nated in the fertile brain of the gentle man from New York who represents Ohio in the senate. From what he gives out it is to be inferred that the bill is an entirely new one.' If this is the case, it could not lawfully originate in the sen ate, for the constitution prescribes that all bills for the raising of revenue and all appropriations shall originate in the house. The Brice measure might be passed by the senate as an amendment to or a substitute for the house bill, but this would be an evasion of the consti tution which would be of doubtful legality. ', V 7* 7 / -;, / But, laving these things aside, the people will be willing to accept Senator Biice's measure, provided it, shall offer a solution of the present difficulties, and some way may be devised to overcome the technicalities that now seem to be insuperable. What the people want, and what they will have, is tariff re form, no matter by what means it is brought about or from what source it may emanate. If they . cannot get a Democratic measure with that end in view, they will accept a Republican, a Populistic or a Prohibition bill. It is results the people want, and they will be attained through some channel. The mysterious maimer: by. which Senator Brice has accomplished so much —if, indeed, lie has : accomplished any thing—arouses suspicion. He has not been successful in: inspiring public con fidence in the disinterestedness of his motives. He lias the reputation of being a ltisus naturae— a protectionist' Demo crat. His personal interests are best served by a high tariff on coal and iron and other commodities. He was op posed to the tariff ' plank in the Chicago platform, and has been allied with the plotters, if he has not been the chief of them, who have persistently endeavored to defeat all changes in our tariff system that are calculated to reduce the bur dens of the consumers 'and lessen- the profits of the privileged classes. But Senator Brice ; may have experi enced a change of heart. -We will not charge him with ;:' insincerity; without' proof, and shall await the presentation of his recipe for the amelioration of our ills with such patience us we may. But he should not needlessly delay the pub lication of the virtues of his specific or nostrum, whichever f it may,-: be. The days are fleeting fast, and if the present congress is to have the credit of reform ing our tariff system there is no time to lose. .- ■ - ■ _"*-.'' ■:■...,"-- .-: "Demagogism is coming home to roost in Washington, and : it brings Its brood with it." exclaims the New York Tribune. True, Coxeyism, the reincar nation of McKinleyism. is on deck. The silk-stocking portion of the hybrids should not be making faces at the bob-tail division. Ex-Pkksident Hakkison, in denying some statements attributed jto " him .by an Indianapolis editor favorable. to his renomination for the presidency, said that iv the future he expected to speak on political matters, as he j saw rea- 1 son j for -au ; ex-president i becoming : a mummy.

At least such is the case in divorce litigation as it exists " in lowa. Mrs. Miranda Paul was sued at Sioux City by her husband William. . Before the case came to trial* Mr. Paul died. . The widow, supposed that the cause of action bad been extin guished. The heirs of her husband (she being a second wife) , do not consent to this, but insist upon trial on account of property interests. Thus a widow is in court defending her wifehood title against a man reposing iv the ceme tery. All things seem possible in the divorce courts. 7". w 77 The order of Postmaster General Bis-' sell excluding all saloonkeepers, or persons who may in the past have sold liquor, from the lists of I applicants for postothces goes too far. It is eminently proper that postofflces shall not be kept in saloons, and that saloonkeepers shall not be postmasters; but to deny the priv ilege of holding these offices to men who have reformed looks like proscrib ing the very men who should be encour aged. If the hope of holding au office may be an inducement for a saloon keeper to abandon his occupation, good has been accomplished. It is not right to bar him forever from | a right which belongs to every American citizen. Walter Wellman, the polar ex plorer, is fairly off upon his expedition. He sailed from Bergen, Norway, on Tuesday, intending to make his object ive. point north of Nova Zeiubla, from thence to enlist : the ice boats and sledges. Mr. Wellman is proceeding in light marching order, upon - the theory that some of the explorers have failed from having too cumbersome an equip ment. Should he succeed, it will be due to the admirable plans formulated, which are more than likely to crown with triumph tbe adventure of the Ohio man..

It is not stated how much of this sum went to the aldermen of the city, but the fact that quite a number of these officials, previously poor, retired about that time and have since lived in apparent, idleness suegests that in that direction there is a mine of iuformatien. .It was just a hundred years ago yes terday since "Freedom • shrieked when Kosciusko fell." i The anniversary of the death of the great Polish patriot was generally celebrated by his coun trymen throughout the ' United States with parades, - banquets and orations.

But it .happened that Zekiel's young affections are placed on a neighbor's & buxom daughter, and.' while thinking deeply of tbe fascinating damsel, enjoying in an ticipation the evening with her, Zekiel ; forgot to secure the door '• of this place. He was still absent when Mr. Butter field was awakened by hia wife, who declared that there was some one in the , "lamb house," as it is called. , The ranchman was prepared to dis pute this with the lady, when a series of suspicious sounds caused him to - spring quickly .f rom{ h is bed. These ■ sounds were several sheep and the ' young being caught by the throat, the cry stifled and choked as if a cruel 'clutch killed it beforje it was well given . birth to. Mr. Butterfield threw open - the window and called for Zekiel, and receiving no answer, dressed himself hurriedly, aud seizing \ his revolver, made tor the spot. ■)'; There was a moon just going down, but it gave sufficient light to show him that the door was partly open, and on approaching still nearer that the sheep were huddled I together | in ; : terror of a score of dark objects almost as large as \ mouth-old calves, which were running about the fold, pulling ' down a mother sheep here or devouring some tender lambling there. ...... . i . • - ii At first Mr. Butterfield could not dis tinguish what these creatures were, but -took- them for dogs. Convinced, how ever, whatever they were, that he was justified in preventing the ,; slangnter of his poor ' sheep, he drew his ■ pistol and discharged it at the . nearest, when its j shrill yelp told him that these ma* rauders were wolves, and. wolves of the large, ferocious gray variety. He fired again and again, a wolf falling at every shot. : - .'..:-..•■' - . The robbers then tried to run out of the door, but the ranchman, determined on revenge, closed . the only exit aud continued tiring. But feeling ; them selves trapped, the animals seemed to grow frantic, aud before Mr. Butterfield could suspect what was about to happen flew at him with such force as to cause him to stagger back against the wall. His pistol was now empty, and he was only able to defend himself from his bloodthirsty toes by knocking about him with the butt end of the weapon. They 5 tore :at his . limbs, but poorly covered by a pair of light boots that he had drawn on |in coming j out, and his feet and lower legs were soon bleedi ng freely, while the sharp fangs of the ani mals found the bone itself often under the lacerated flesh. t Mr. Butterfield shouted loudly to his wife to bring help to him, but such was the yelping, snarling and : howling in the fold that he doubted that his voice would reach her. . But , she heard the pistol shots aud the noise of the strug gle and screamed afresh for Zekiel, who by this time was approaching the house, whistling merrily.' , Mrs. Butterfield flew out to meet him and .informed him of . what had hap pened, aud gave him his master's gun to go to the rescue.

The door being left open by the new comer, most of the caged creatures es caped by it, but Zekiel continued to pursue them with a running fire, man aging to kill -: half a dozen himself. But one old fellow, engaged in eating a lamb lie had . slain, declared war to the knife and refused to be routed, but turned on Zekiel with a determination to kill or be killed right there. The boy fired upon him," tearing open his side and sending the blood all about the fold, but the big wolf gave no token of fright aud rushed at his euemy with a furious yell. Zekiel fired again. but the ball went far ; over the creature's head, and before he could fire again the wolf had pinned him down. -~ In falling the boy struck '. his head against the door sill, and for several minutes was too dazed to take any fur ther part : in the combat. The wolf bent his head to worry the remains, as he thought, but Mr. Butterfield, crawl ing toward the two, secured Zekiel's gun and put a couple of shots in the : animal's bod y, but did not kill him, . as he bad hoped to do. The wolf whirled . sharply : about aud, still standing over Zekiel, made a snap, at the other, man,' which - Mr. Butterfield parried by getting to one side. He then brought the gun down on the creature's skull, breaking the weapon short off in the barrel, and without seeming to daze the wolf at all. The latter now abandoned [ his : pros trate prey and ran at the ranchman, who, being now undefended, resolved to flee for his life. But his enemy was too quick for him, and was almost upon him before he could -reach the door. However, near this exit Mr. Butterfield found a branding iron such as is used to mark cattle, and with this formidable weapon the ranchman prepared to finish up his dauntless foe. Raising it in the air he threw it directly iuto the face of the wolf, shattering the nasal bone and reducing the entire muzzle to a mass of bloody flesh. ".:"•■ , - .-. With a shriek of agony the big wolf rolled over on , the floor, clawing at the planks for something :: to apply to the wound, and, runniug up to him, Mr, Butterfield brought down the iron once more on his skull, this time breaking it aud killing the wolf.

In order to appreciate the impression made [ upon : the queen -by Peel, it is necessary to picture him as he then was |in the prime of bis life, a man of , great .. vigor, tall and manly, In his fiftieth year i only, but with almost ' thirty years of parliamentary aud official life marked on I* face. His political career commenced when he : was a: ; lad .of $; twenty-two. Three years later he was : chief secre tary ror Ireland, and he had been ever, since that time one of the most con spicuous * figures ■in the house of ; com mons. ' Now he was fifty, and ' on , the eve of becoming, with the. exception. of the duke of Wellington, the most prom inent Englishman ot his day. '-■:. .-.'„ ■ •■/• •;> : . In some respects . he was a new type,' and belonged to a -new order of states men. Sprung from a mercantile stock, he possessed ' the". detects and virtues which are inherent in' the ' provincial middle class. He was essentially, as has: been well - said of '- constitutional statesmen, a man of common opinions, though of uncommon abilities, and, while iv thoughts aud ideas other men labored, he entered luto. their labors. If he was devoid of all originality of mind, he was was rich, decorous, hard working and devoted himself to the task of politics. ' In appearance, when young, when his hair was brown and curly, he struck Mr. Disraeli as the possessor of a very radiant expression of countenance, he struck' Carlyle later In life as a man "finely made, of strong, not heavy, rather .of elegant -.. stature; stands straight, head slightly thrown bacx. and •■■-■•■ eyelids -' modestly ■ drooping every way mild and gentle, yet with less of that fixed smile than portraits give him. *.*".* Clear, strong, blue . eyes, which kindle on .occasion, voice extremely good, low-tuned, something of a - cooing in it, rustic, affectionate, honest,* mildly persuasive; * ;,* * re served, seemingly, by nature; obtrudes nothing of diplomatic reserve ; on * the contrary, a rein of mild fun In him; real sensibility to the ludicrous." Another physical attribute noticed by the shrewd old Scot is curious. On some occasion, when Peel was showing off bis gallery of pictures at Bath house, and in so doing spread his hand over that of Dr. Johnson in' Reynolds' well known portrait, to Illustrate some anec dote, Carlyle observed that it was "as fine a man's hand as I remember to have strong, delicate and scrupu lously clean." ■:: /■''/'%/■/■ Bits of Fashion.

Hats for little girls have very low crowns. Some of them have, the brims rolled up about | three or four braids wide; others are turned down about the same distance.

Changeable summer serge is a fabric used for a useful frock. It has a full straight skirt, and the full baby waist is kept in shape by a fitted lining; the skirt is sewed to" the waist, which fast ens in the back. A modish, up-to-date touch is given by the full bertha, which is finished on the edge with a simple passementerie matching the serge in colors. ' The toque for early spring and sum mer wear is " made of fancy straw in tones of burned cieme, old gold, amber and tan color. These straws are . com posed of several- rows of tiny rows ot spikes that overlap each other, and give a rich and encrusted appearance.' The toque is trimmed with velvet cushion on the bias, and mounted in an irregu lar manner, thus forming a twist which is placed between the crown and the narrow turncd-uu brim. Tamboured organdies and beautiful dotted and flowered Swiss muslins are heaped iv profusion upon the counters.

The skirt is of full straight breadths, and may he lined : or * simply hemmed. It is sewed to the close-fitting underwaist; but it is a .good plan to mount it on a belt so it can be worn with a blouse also. The little jacket is a form of the Eton, and will look as well over a blouse as with a close waist. The way of making a suit is suited to ail woolen or cotton fabrics. : -*.'; -'.*■": -. : -.i.

'-The operation of reducing the pug is a simple and almost painless one." said the surgeon in charge, demonstrating one of these cases. "A little cartilage is taken from the upturned 7 member, the slight wound is dressed aud then a clamp is adjusted which gives the nose a tendency in the right direction, and in a few days the change from 'pug' ] to straight has been perfected. We have had a number, of these cases: one was a tall man,. an actor by profession, who thought his nose the greatest ob- i stacle in his way to success. It was an ugly feature, sure enough, and being a calling where the slightest pretext for chaffing and guying is made the most of, it was no wonder he wanted the change made. . We helped him," the doctor added, "aud sent him away after ten days' treatment with a new and better nose. "A hump on a man's back." the doe tor said, "must remain, but there is no good reason why a man or a woman should carry a hump around on the nose." In proof of his ability to conquer this facial blemish he showed a "before" ana "after" picture of one of his pa tients, whose nose, Roman in the super lative degree, had been modified until it became a thing of beauty. But it is not the the ill-shaped nose alone that has yielded to the derma tologist's art. The "lop-eared" man who discovered too late that by pulling his cap down over his ears those mem bers lost their shape, projected and made him look unlike the man nature intended him for, lias an Instrument placed on his ears.and alter a few weeks lie is tho lop-eared man no longer. Women whose ears have become de formed through improper hairdressing are among those who come for relief, and many who were "born so" have the defect remedied. Then there are tho persons whose eyebrows meet over the nose and form a continuous line. "We have outgrown the belief in the •devil's mark' and all the superstitions which are linked to the continuous eye brow." said the doctor, "but we must confess that this particular blemish gives the face a ■ sinister expression. Now, with an electrical instrument, we remove the superfluous hair and change the scowling face into oue open and frank." ;7;"'7. Moles and birthmarks are made to disappear under treatment, and. even wrinkles which time leaves are cheated and defrauded out of being. A voting woman who had the habit of corrugat ing her forhead by elevating the eye brows bad four deep furrows across the brow, which added several years to her age in looks and did nothing to enhance her beauty. She went to a dermatolo gist, submitted to an operation, and a smooth brow was the result. , "It was not a painful operation," the doctor explained, "nor is it one about the result of which there can be auy : doubt. We make a horizontal incision along the forehead at its junction witn the scalp; then another elipticai incis ion is made, and the tissue bounded by these incisions is dissected out. The lips of the wound are drawn together, thus overcoming the relaxation which results in the formation of wrinkles. ! True, before the operation the woman i wore her hair brushed straight back, but now, to hide the scar, she wears a ' little bang, and looks years younger for the change." - . Probably the strangest work done in i this nature-Improving establishment is j the making of dimples. In speaking of I this peculiar specialty the doctor said: j "It is some - years now since I was first i asked to make a dimple, and was in- 1 clined to treat the request as a joke, till : the young woman assured me that she ! was serious about it, and could not be ! perfectly happy until she had a dimpte i in her left cheek. She was a fine-looking I girl, too, and the thought of putting a j knife into her plump, rosy cheek was ] repe limit to me. "I reasoned and argued with her; told | her that she might be made hideous; I that the operation might leave a great t red scar on her face, and that she was | too fair to run such chances. it was ot no use. . She insisted on having a dim ple, as a child will on having a toy, and finally, at her own risk and with the darkest kind of a picture before ; her of what might be the result, I performed the operation ; and since then I have dissuaded no one who wants a dimple, because the operation was a success, like many of the same kind performed siuce." : .-••■■ The dermatologist showed a large col lection of photographs to substantiate his statements and convince the doubt er of the 9act that man can, with scientific aid, frequently improve on nature, Shrawetl Hetty Green.
