The Chicago grand jary is making good headway with the anarchists. There should be no letting down in these prosecations until every guilty man is punished.
The president has at last given Colonel Hughes East a place, and it is a good one. There are others who lost their offices when Mr. Hendricks died, who are yet to be taken care of.
Congressman Landes has been renominated by tlte democrats of the Sixteenth Illinois district. It will now be interesting to see how manfully those opposition democratic papers will continue to warn the people against sending Landes back to Washington.
THE SUNDAY EXPRESS.
The Sunday Express has met with remarkable success, its circulation and advertising increasing each week.
To-morrow's issue will be a particularly interesting number. In addition to usual department news, there will appear a letter from New York, describing the Authors' club, with pictures of leading American authors.
The moral effect of the conviction of Jaehne and his speedy removal to Sing Sing in spite of the fact that money in unlimited quantity could be secured get for him all the benefits of the "laws delay" will be worth all the trouble and cost of the legislative committee investigation and of the prosecution. But there are a dozen more guilty ones, and delay in trying and con victing them will be a blunder Such is also the case in regard to the Chicago anarchists. The conviction and punishment of one or two ringleaders not sufficient.

Ben Harrison, senator from Indiana, who is a native of Ohio, showed his mettle in a considerable speech, delivered with avijgor and stvle that carried to my mind the idea that nej was an abler man than his distinguished ancestor, the president of the United States. In appearance he does not generally impress people as he goes about the streets, with his head somewhat down and no particular "getup" about him. But_ when he rises to speak you see that he is broad-shouldered, full-chested, healthy and strong, squareheaded, firmly planted on his feet, pessive, loud and incisive—very much a leader
of

Ex-Senator McDonald has arrived Washington, and it is said his visit is connected with the fall elections in this state.

Mr. Brown, of San Antonio, Texas, became angry and Hffore in the presence of Mrs. Williams. She objected, and he told her to help herself if she could. So she told her husband, and Mr. Williams at once loaded his pistol, sought Brown, and found him eating supper. "Did you swear in my wife's presence?" asked Mr. Williams, *'I did," answered Mr. Brown. Thereupon Mr. Williams shot Mr. Brown dead.
The American hen is not doing her duty. There are 16,000,000 dozens of foreign hens' eggs brought into this country every year free of duty.

With cubators to help them, the American hen ought to make abetter record.
There is a good story told of Mr. Boehm about the appearance of Mr. Gladstone's eyes when he is excited or angered. The sculptor was taking observations of the great statesman for a statue one day. Mr. Gladstone was laying down the law to Prof. Blackie in some Homeric question, and the sturdy old professor declared his great friend was talking nonsense. "Then," said Mr. Boehm, "I learned for the first time that Mr. Gladstone's eyes ceuld open in two directions, like a vulttire's."

lilnooln and George Harding. In the case of the McCormick reaper, the leading lawyers were Stanton and George Harding. It became necessary to have a lawyer resident in Illinois. These parties knew of no lawyer oat there but Mr. Arnold, who afterward was Mr. Lincoins biographer. They found that he was engaged on the opposite side of the case. Inquiry was made of Elihu Washburne, in congress, whether there was a man capable of taking hold of such an important suit Perhaps no patent case ever came up irior to that time of such importance— it was to teBt the cardinal invention by which the vast fields of wheat and other grain were to be mowed by machine.
Washburne said there was a man named Lincoln ht Springfield, HI., who had considerable reputation in the state. He was secured, ana he came on to Cincinnati with a brief. Stanton and Harding saw a tall, dark, uncouth man, who did not strike them as of any account, and, indeed they gave him hardly any chance. 8tanton was as civil with him as he afterwards was with some of the generals. Mr. Harding said to me on one ccasion that to remember how Lincoln received Stanton's asperities and sneers, and how kind he was nevertheless, was one af the most touching things in his memory. Neither of these lawyers gave the country lawyer any chance to speak of. He received his humble fee, and with that, it is said, he was enabled to acquire the leisure to have his memorable debate with Douglas.
Time passed along, and this uncouth man received the nomination of a great national convention and was elected president. A feeling of chagrin probably passedover the two great lawyers that the man that they might make a friend who was to exercise such enormons power. After Lincoln had been inaugurated Mr, Harding thought he would call upon him. Lincoln took him by the hand with warmth and joy, and said: "I do not know whether you voted for me or not, but I hope you did. I always made up my mind that I was going to do something for you and Stanton." So he offered Mr. Harding the office of com missioner of patents, and he made Stanton secretary of war.
Some months ago I got a bottle of Athlophoros for one of my customers, who was cured of rheumatism by it. Through her recommendation I ordered again and have had a nice trade in it. Caas.

Special Correspondence Chicago Daily News.
WASHINGTON,
D. C., May 20.—If
President Cleveland is human—which may be safely assumed—he is both annoyed by the publicity given to the smallest details of his approaching marriage and gratified at the interest the country at large takes in it. That it is true is generally surmised, for the president has so far not opened his mouth on the subject, the Folsom family having done all the talking. Miss Folsom will arrive in New York about the 26th or 27th of May, and on the 30th President Cleveland will go to New York, ostensibly to attend the Decoration Day ceremonies but if he wanted to jneet Miss Folsom on her arrival he could hardly have hit upon a more opportune date.
An impending marriage in the White House has been a burning question since the 20th of September, 1881, when Mr. Arthur became president. At intervals during his administration the pi ess of the Unite! States would select some woman of proper qualifications and simultaneously make an ofier of the president's hand.
Then with equal unanimity they would accept it on behalf of the gentlewoman and immediately begin preparations for the wedding—on paper. The person oftenest selected for this honor was Miss Frelinghuysen, the daughter of Mr. ArthuPs secretary of state. Mr. Arthur was upon terms of the greatest intimacy with the Frelinghuysen family, and several times during his term was their guest both at their Washington and their country place on the Baritan in New Jersey. Miss Frelinghuysen is a middle-aged woman, with no pretentions to youth or comliness, but of much good sense, great dignity, and a manner of the highest breeding. Both Mr. Arthur and herself proved Uiat they had too much sense to let newspaper gossip break up the friendship of years, and, although it must have given them exquisite annoyance to have these reports so specifically announced, they never allowed it to interfere with their friendship or habits of intimacy. The Frelinghuysens steadily denied it, and nobody was ever rash enough to make any inquiries of Mr. Arthur, who was a perfect master in the art of keeping impertinence at bay. But there was a very beautiful and accomp lished woman, now in her untimely grave, who interested him deeply and to whom he showed the only marked preference he displayed toward anybody since his widowernood. In the winter of 1883, the first winter the White House was opened to gayety, there appeared at all the receptions, among the specially invited guests, Mrs. Craig Wadsworth, a handsome Philadelphia widow. She was by birth a Virginian, and during her girlhood, as Miss Lena Peters, had aroused a storm of admiration. She had married Mr. Wadsworth, a very rich man, who died not long after her marriage, leaving her a widow with two little boys, a great fortune, and with unimpaired charms. She was not a regular beauty, but she was what Miss Jane Austen called "a lady with a presence." Her features were good, but their chief charm was their expressiveness. She was perfectly graceful, dressed to per lection, and her manners were irresistible. Somebody has said that good manners weie the shadows of great virtues, and it was true in Mrs. Wadsworth's case. She was as highly esteemed as she was admired. President Arthur was captivated from the first. While the newspapers were marrying him to Miss Frelinghuysen he was paying very flattering attenttons to Mrs. Wads worth. On New Year's day she was invited to stand among the cabinet ladies at the White House reception, and the president called to see her several times —an honor he paid no other private per son during nis term. Presidential etiquette rigidly defines the few and high dignitaries whose invitations the president may accept, and he pays no visits even after accepting the invitation—but, although he could not go to Mrs. Wadsworth's on a formal invitation, et he went informally whenever it suiUd him.
Suddenly, in the midst of her belleship, for she had other admirers beside the president, Mrs. Wadsworth sailed for Europe. The next thing heard of her was her desperate illness at the house of the American minister, Mr. Levi Morton. Then the truth came out. She was suffering from an incurable disease, and had gone to Paris to get the help of the French surgeons. But they could do her no good, and in a year or two she came back to Washington to die. Her agony was long continued. She was two years in dying, and in all that time her cheerfulness and courage never abated Once after she came home she appeared at the White House on the president7 invitation, looking like the ghost of her former self, but it was too much for her, stricken as she was. All during her long struggle with death Mr. Arthur manifested the utmost interest in her—as, indeed, did everybody who had enjoyed her friendship. In January of this year, just about the beginning of Mr. Arthur's own jillness, she died—admired, beloved, and esteemed. She was only in her 38th year.
President Buchanan's love story is his toric, and reads more like the conventional novel of fifty years ago than plain fact. But it happened just as tragedies happen every day that are many times stranger than fiction. When he was a poor young lawyer he became engaged to Miss Coleman, who belonged to one of the richest, staidest, and, it may be assumed, narroweet-minded and most purblind families in Philadelphia. The Cole mans by no means approved of the match, but nevertheless the young couple became engaged. Mr. Buchanan was then practicing law ia a remote part of Pennsylvania, and in those days of stage coaches and saddle-bags correspondence was liable to interruptions. Miss Coleman's letters became irregular and then stopped altogether. He wrote repeatedly, but got no reply. At last he determined
to go to Philadelphia, but at Lancaster the stage met at witn an accident and Mr. Buchannan suffered a broken leg. He wrote again as soon as he was able, but still heard nothing. Laid up in a country tavern, in the midst of a phenominal snowstorm, for six weeks, embittered him, and he wrote Miss Coleman letter of fierce reproaches and then wrote no more. Now for Miss Coleman's
Her eminently respectable family im the beginning intercepted all of her letters and all of Mr. Buchanan's. She made all the appeals to him a woman could make, but she never had a line from him after he left Philadelphia, except that last cutting letter—and as, fortunately, it contained nothing but his renunciation of her, she could know nothing of what had preceded it The eminently respectable family were satisfied—the match was broken off by means that would have landed them all in the penitentiary in these days. A year or two afterward Mr. Buchanan was in Philadelphia, and at a ball, came £ace to face with Miss Coleman. Neither spoke, and Mr. Buchanan paid marked attention to another girl present That night young friend who was staying with Miss Coleman said to her, while the two gi^s were alone In their room: "Did you see Mr. Buchanon's attentions to Miss
you recognized him." Miss Coleman began to sob violently. She would not be soothed, and her friend, becoming alarmea, called the family. Of what next happened two accounts have been given.One was that she had taken poison and her sufierings afterward came from that—but those who were near her faid that she was simply sufiering from uncontrollable mental anguish. Toward morning, when her pulse had got so low that it was scarcely perceptible, and her nervous excitement had changed into a profound stupor, the doctors were sent tor. But she was past help. They never roused her, avd she died the next day of what the doctors called nervous exhaustion, but which goes by the name of a broken heart. Then the truth came to Buchanan's ears, and from that day his bachelorhood was assured. When he was president the story was generally known, and there were no reports about his marriage as long as he was in the White House. John Tyler was the only president who married during his term of office. A lovely portrait of Mrs. Tyler in her wedding gown hangs in the green room at the White House. For many years it hung in the corridor up-stairs, but it was brought down by President Arthur, who did not believe in hiding so much beauty. She was Julia Gardiner, and the daughter of one of the rich Gardiners of Gardiner's island.
It is pretty well known that President Andrew Jackson was in earnest about his love affairs, if any man ever was—and the story of his affection for his Rachel during the forty years of their married life is too well known to be repeated here It was said that her death was caused by overhearing in an hotel at Nashville the slanders that were circulated about her during the campaign preceding General Jackson's election. Hie had kept it all rigorously from her, and the shock of hearing that she had been vilified and held up to scorn throughout the whole United States was too much for her. She was always delicate, and just then recovering from an illness. She went back to the Hermitage, took to her bed, and never rose from it. President Jackson had her portrait hung in his bedroom in the White House, where, as he said, it should be the first object to meet his eyes in the morning and the last to greet him at night. Thomas Jefferson, who married Mariah Skelton, professed never to have recovered from her death six years after their marriage, and never supplied her place. STNDEY.
WAGEY'S CLAIM.
A Young Man Who Says Be Was Instrumental in Recovering the Stolen Jewelry at Sirs. Tillotson's.
A young man named Wagey claims that he is the individual who first put the police on to the jewelry nest at Mrs. Tillotson's, No. 1228 north Seventh street. He had his suspicions, and communicated them to Officer Lewis, who told the superintendent. Mrs. Tillotson's daughter displayed jewelry, and told him that Mills often brought home valuables when be returned from his trips. He was satisfied that Mills could not accumulate so much in an honest manner, and set about to discover all he could, and the information he gleaned he gave to the police. There was an understanding, he says, that nothing should be said about how the information was learned, and he determined to say nothing until others claimed the honor. He then thought there was any honor or reward to be had he should have a share, especially when several thousand dollars' worth of valu ables were recovered through the information he gave the police.
Local History.
"Gath" says in one of his letters: "Local history is indeed the true and genuine history of the United States. Any old trimmer can generalize on large facts, but the industry and consciousness which animate the local historian bring out the really important things of the past" recalled this sentiment when a gentleman from an interior town told me a few days ago that he was arranging to organize a local historical society in his place. Said he: "There are great many historical facts connected with my town and county that are well worth! preserving. We mean to gather these up, make a permanent record ot them and keep them from being forgotten. I have always myself been interested in work and associations of this kind, and there are several other people in the place who have similar tastes. Besides doing a good work for the community in whieh we live, we expect to find a large amount of pleasure in hunting up these historical facts, discussing their value, authenticity, etc., and putting them in shape for permanent preserva tion." This is a line of work which could be taken up with pleasure and profit in rrery town in this country. It may not seem to be very large or important work at first thought, but as Gath well says, it is this local history that is true and genuine because those who gather up the facts are right on the ground and, having a narrow field, can glean it thoroughly. I believe that societies of this kind are much more common in New England than in the Western states, but there is no good reason why they should be. The great, growing, rapidly developing west is rich in those things which go to make up history, and the people now living here ought to begin gather' them up for use by the future historian

Fresh Fashion Notes.
There never were so many pretty, stylish and inexpensive narrow ruchings as at present From the inexpensive double row of etamine to the most elaborate shell plaited, beaded crepe lisse there is really nothing to be desired either in style, quality or reasonableness in price. There are folds of satin with a tiny line of gold tinsel and a row of very fine plaited lisse double folds of colored gauze with a tinsel fabric folded between them plain folds of silk mull with loops of narrow ribbon fastened over and between them gauze ribbon plaitings with heavy gold-corded edges, and scores of other designs equally pretty and durable.

Y., in 183B, studied medicine with Dr. Bnggs of that city, took his medical oomee in the Harvard Medical school, Boston, began the praotioe of his profession in his native place in 1846, and two yean later removed to Bnfialo, where he practiced from 1847 to 1863. During his rssidenoe in Bufialo he wrote a number ot papers on the cause and treatment cholera, which ravaged that oity daring 1849 and 1861. Thee© papers attracted much attention, and were afterward published in book form. In the autumn of 1852 Dr. Lewis took m* young wife, then serionsly threatened with consumption, to the south. The visit to the southern states was repeated during the two following winters. During these three winters of leisure Dr. Lewis seriously reconsidered his lifework, and, after oonsultatira with family and other trusted friends, resolved to "shift the switch." Since 1856 he hm been anpgaH in lecturing and writing on the eubjeot of publio and personal hygiene. With the exception cf two visits to Europe and three summers of saddle life In the mountains of California, he has been unceasingly occupied with "ounoe of prevention." His labors have been varied, interesting and most effective. During four years he lectured almost every night, giving his days to the invention of bis system of gymnastics. In I860, having completed this system, he abandoned the platform ana settled in Boston, Mass., to establish his Normal school for physical training. Obtaining an net of incorporation from the Massachusetts legislature, he placed his scheme before the celebrated Dr. Walter Planning, Dr.- Thomas Hoskins and other well-known medical men. The two gentlemen named, and others, entered heartily into the work. Dr. Ghanning and Dr. Hoskins both became active teachers or profeesors in Dr. Lewis' school. Within seven years more HIM 400 persons were graduates from the Boston Normal sohool, and, bearing its diploma, with the name of Dio Lewis as its president, went out into the land, teaching the new school of physical training. Among these graduates was that admirable gentleman and scholar, Moses Coit Tyler, now professor in Cornell university. He went abroad, remaining several years, in London introducing the "Dio Lewis gymnastics." Professor pier's lectures and his contributions to the English magasines on the itew sohool of body culture constitute the finest portion of the literature of the new movement.
Another intereeting phase of Dr. Lewis' work is found in the great seminary which he established at Lexington, Mass. His object was to illustrate the possibilities in the physical development of girls during their sohool life. His buildings, acoommodatln two hundred persons, were placed upon the first battle field ef the revolutionary war. A large corpe of the beet teachers in mathematics, scienoee, languages, beliee-lettree and mnsio to be fount. in the oountry were engaged and the opening announced. The sohool soon grew to one hundred and fifty young women, gathered from all parts of the oountry, including the Pacifio coast, Central America and the West Indies. They came to what could be done by the new method for their nerrens, enfeebled bodiee. The marvelous triumph of this institute daring the year whibh Dr. Lewis devoted to its management, he gives in the North Amerioan Beview for December. 1882. In the oeurse of his twentytwo years' residence in Boston, Dr. Lewis published nine volumee on the various aspects of the health of the human body, some of whioh, like "Our Girls," "Our Digestion," ancl "Weak Lungs," have had enormous sales. In 1888 Dr. Lewis removed to the oity of Hew York to establish a large monthly magazine, to be called Dio Lewis' Monthly, and to be devoted to sanitary and social scienoe, whieh he held to be the crowning work ef his long life of labor in the intereet of better bodiee for Amerioan men and women.
Mississippi's Sobool System, Mississippi adopted by a popular vote last year an amendment to the state con stitution providing for au increase of the school fund, and the legislature this year has adopted a carefully considered school law of seventy-eight Fections for the perfection of the school system.
