Globe. Washington Letter. Special to Washington, D. C, August The President returned from bis well earned lour days- vacation trip in ample time to sign bills for thirty days longer, thus disappoint- the Republicans very much, as they were all ready to raise a cry neglect of public duties. Thai is one accusation that no one can truthfully make against Mr. Cleve- land. It is doubtful whether this country ever had a President that attended as closely to his duties as Mr. Cleveland, we have certainly not had one since Lincoln. Senator Heck has given notice that he in the future object to unanimous consent being given for the passage of any bill. He believes in taking the bills as they stand up on the calendar, and bringing them up in the regular way. It is now said that the republicans of the Senate will not have their substitute for the Mills ready before the 29th inst- if they do then. It is further said that they do not propose to attempt to pass a bill at this session, but will only report it, so as to give them a chance to gain votes this fall, by promising to amend it before it is passed, to suit anybody whose vote can be had. The slow and deliberate manner in which the Senate committee is act- has gained believers for the report that no attempt will be made to-pass the bill. Commissioner Coleman will prob- ably in a short lime be Secretary Coleman, the House bill making the Agricultural department an I live department has been favorably reported to the Senate, and as there is practically no opposition to it now that the clause transferring to Agricultural Department the weather bureau, has been stricken out, its early passage is expected. One of the President's callers this week was aged six, named Cleveland Washington. Representative Mills endeavored to obtain consent or the House to have August assigned for the consideration of bills from the labor committee, with the of the Convict Labor bill, but there was objection. A bill has been reported to the Senate to give the Richmond, Va. and the Augusta, Ga., expositions, the surplus from the made for the Ohio Valley The hits agreed to the res- for the appointment of a committee of seven, to investigate our trade relations with Canada. The Senate bill appropriating for the erection of an statue to Gen. in this city, has been favorably reported to tho Douse. Representative Bynum, of says the Senate will not pass a tariff bill, and that while they may lie able to agree in committee to the extent of reporting a measure that will please the most of the can Senators, it is impossible to please them all, and bill can be passed without the votes of them all. Mrs. Cleveland and her mother are at home again. The House committee on in their preliminary report on the trust investigations, say that the trusts have been organized care- fully, so as to avoid the law against conspiracy. It is generally understood that the River and Harbor bill will be signed by the President. Jimmy threatens to over shadow Bonny Harrison entirely. Chief Justice Fuller has leased an elegant residence in this city for a long term of years, which he will in September. Representative has ac- an to deliver an address before the of Atlanta, Ga. sometime this month- The Sundry Civil Appropriation bill, which has been passed by the Senate, has had so many amend tacked on it passed the House, that when it gets back to that body it will be hardly able. Representative bill for the settlement of the Govern- claims against the Pacific Railroad, has been reported to the Senate. During the temporary absence of Speaker Mr. of Tennessee, has been chosen Speak- pro tern. Mrs. Famous Cow kicked over a lamp, and Chicago, the bustling young metropolis of the West, laid in ruins. This is a striking illus- of the old saying results have small The neglected cold the hacking cough of to- day, may a few months hence, develop into that direst of destroyers. Be warned in lime. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, if taken in the first stages of this dread disease, is a certain cure, is also a sovereign rem- for Asthma.

These practical hints for are by A. W. Cheever in the New England The time to mow is in the afternoon after o'clock. Dew will never injure wilted grass and will dry off grass in such less time than grass that is stand Grass cue in the early morn- while heavy with rain or dew may require most of the first day's work to get it free from the water upon it. Grass cut free from out side moisture will often dry as per- in one day as wot grass j would in two. Moisture is constantly expelled from standing grass by evaporation through leaves, and is pumped up from the j soil through the roots. When grass, is iii fair weather this j still goes on, but the supply being cut off, the leaves and stems become dry. Grass cut and left in swaths with the dew on is something in the con of cut flowers with their stems set in a damp moss or a dish of Grass cut between o'clock in I the afternoon and dark will begin to dry the following day, if fair, soon after sunrise; if stormy it will not suffer till the storm is over. If grass is grown and ready to cut we would cat it when ready, even if a storm ; was expected the day. Storms seldom Injure freshly grass, variable weather we; would cut all tho grass in cloudy days, and then have the whole of; the fair weather making it into hay. The man who is in a constant worry for fear of bad hay weather to-morrow is sure to let his , grass stand still overripe before it; he is likely to cut his in clear weather and have it to, make into hay as best be may in cloudy. Grass fully grown and past if cut with the dew off and frequently stirred with the dry sufficiently in the forenoon to begin to cut immediately after- noon.

I would go across a muddy street of a very muddy day to bands with the person who stands at tho head of this paragraph, and when I had shaken hands I should perhaps humbly beg him for his autograph or a lock of hair. And wherefore Because, to be a young means in popular parlance a young man who has the moral courage to spend money in his own way. It means that because he happens to be in a crowd of addle pated greenhorns who are throwing away their earnings in a man- that does not bring a return to them or any one else, ho refuses to It means that he doesn't a monthly livery, florist or bill in excess of his monthly earn- It means that he doesn't rob his em- or, if ho is a bank cashier, his bank to minister to his illicit pleasures. It means that his tailor bill is paid promptly, ditto his board bill; that if he has a mother or lister not too well off he can and does afford them an occasional generous gift. It means that while every designing girl of his acquaintance is not a recipient at bis hands of costly flowers and confectionery, the girl he likes best has plenty of both and both are paid for. This term of reproach means also that while his generous colleague is talking slush about the of girls and the impossibility of supporting such creatures, that he, our young has a nice little bank ac- count; been accepted by his sweet- heart, and is giving her more comforts than tho spendthrift, in his prodigal self- thinks anybody but himself is entitled Times. True Worth of People. The place to study American women in their varieties is at Washington. Tho wives and daughters come there and the daughters and wives too, and most of tho difference in them at first is that some ore and some are thin. Tho thin ones have had a good deal of hard work and worry, thick ones worked hard and not had so much worry. I don't mean they are poor. The finest house in an inland city in my youth belonged to a man whoso died after he made hi fortune built his mansion, and always said the care of her fine house killed her. The change from simple, easy going village life to pretentious society which adds constantly to its rules and standards must be one of effort and exhaustion. Too often a worthy man sees his plain at a disadvantage beside the gracious, carefully drilled women who live to smile and to shine, and though ho feels at the contrast, he cannot but be vexed at himself for it. What she feels can never be Tho balm for all such hurts is that the plain people are nearer right than tho showy ones, and more suitably to their circumstances and as citizens of a Plain people do not push them- selves forward, and make no pretense to be what they are not, a real dignity which no slurs can affect. They have more to do with the life and prosperity of this continent than the very fine ladies whoso luncheon parties and reception dresses are in tho daily Dare's Letter. Horn to Bo Leaden. The average college president is but a poor judge of human nature. It is use- less to try to coerce a large body of young men into observance of any set of rules. I found in the course of a few years in tho chair of a college president that in every school there are a few young men who are born leaders, and whom the rest of the boys follow sheep do the bell I made it my business early in each session to find out who these leaders were, and then I them. By placing in their hands responsibility for the good deportment of tho entire school I secured the best and yet my young friends never dreamed that they were rendering me any service. From what I have seen in seminaries for young ladies tho rule holds good. Grown up girls can be led by a very fine string, but they are most difficult to Edward Cooper in Globe-Democrat.

Slocum, Pearl st, The Negro Preacher A Charlotte The country are every year becoming a greater to communities which they are located, as a injury to t be colored people themselves. Fights at churches are of weekly and the Courts are filled with the parties. The preachers some few are not fit to lead or control often they are the worst sort of and breed disturbances among their poor ignorant followers. Then it is often the case that each con- has from two to four i preachers mere hangers on to the hard-working portion of their There are, of course, many good but there are many bad ones, and it seems that the bad ones control matters generally. The re- morals of the black man are getting lower every year, and it is mainly because they have mean and vicious teachers. They seldom take a respectable white man's ad- vice. Commissioners Sale.

NATIONAL NEWS PER. The Star is the only New York news- paper possessing the fullest confidence of the National Administration and the United Democracy of New York, the political battle ground of the Republic. Democracy, pure and simple, is good enough for the Star. Single handed among the press, it bus stood by the men called by the great Democracy to redeem the gov- from years of Re- publican wastefulness and corruption and despotism to the South. For these four years past it has been unswerving its fidelity to the administration of Grover Cleveland. It is for him now for Cleveland and four years more of Democratic honesty in our national affairs, and of continued nation- and prosperity. For people who like that sort of De- STAB is the paper to read. The Star stands squarely on the National Democratic platform, lie- that any tribute exacted from the people in excess of the demands of a government economically administered is essentially oppressive and dishonest. The fostered and championed by the Republican making the government a miser, wringing millions annually from the people and locking them up vaults to serve no purpose but invite wastefulness and dishonesty, it regards as a monstrous crime against rights of American citizenship, political jugglers may call it taxation the for it is robbery. Through through the Star is a great newspaper. Its tone is pure and wholesome, its news service Each issue presents an tome of what is best worth knowing of the world's history of yesterday. Its stories are told In good, English, and mighty reading they are. The Star is its good as best class magazine, and prints about the same amount of matter Besides day's news it is rich in articles, stories, snatches of current literature, reviews, art criticism, etc. inimitable humor sparkles in its col ; Will delight. fill letters are of its choice offerings, of the known men and women in literature and art are represented its columns.
