Origin of Some of the Pessimistic Prophecies Concerning the Administration. Washington Special to New York Tribnne. To-night ends the gloomiest and most depressing week which the office-seekers in Washington have 6pent since March 4. In the first half of it tho President wasr too busy to receive them, and during the remainder he has been absent from Washington, with all members of his Cabinet, except Secretary Blaine, who has been unable to attend to his official duties. The weather, too. has boon depressing, and during live days out of tho evien the clouds wept copiously, as if in pity over the disappointed patriots who are waiting, "waiting till the clouds roll by," as a damp, but persistent and not altogether discouraged, applicant said to-day. Of course all of them are- hoping for better things, and yet ;t is difficult for them to conceive why Iheir reward should be postponed for even Ihreo days on account of a comparatively nsigniticant all air like the celebration of the centenary of tho Constitution. It is natural, perhaps, for them to think, under the circumstances, that the prospect for tho future of Kepublican institutions is dubious, to say the least, and it is not altogether surprising that somo of them openly express the conviction: "Ibe administration is predestined to failure." These pessimistic expressions, generously, if not carefully, elaborated, and neatly adorned with llowers of imagination, duly appear in the columns of Democratic and mugwump newspapers in thetorm of Washtnton dispatches, to which some persons outside of Washin acton may attach some importance. To-night as the Tribune correspondent was passing one of the hotels his Httention was attracted by three persons, who were seated under a dark projection pulling cigarettes. The youngest appeared to lx about nine years old. while the oldest may have reached the mature age of thirteen. They were engaged in earnest conversation on the 'outlook." "1 tell you."saidthe mostyonthful. "that If Harrison doesn't appoint a Public Printer this week, there's going to be tho biggest kind of a row in tho camp." fcVe8,;, assented a statesman of pome ten years, as he blew a volume of smoke through his youthful nostrils, "and then look at the District commissioners. My father says th it Harrison's backwardness is losing him friends every day.' "I've been listening to the talk in the hotel to-night," said the eldest of the trio, vand I tell you there is a big tight coming unless Harrison does better. 1 heard a big man In there from New Jersey, who has been waiting here six weeks, say that iflhe didn't get something this week he'd go home Satorday night and let Harrison slide. Then a tall man from Florida said he agreed with him, and two men from Alabama and a short, thickset gentleman from Texas all joined in. and wanted to know how Harrison expected to break ud the solid South and be re-elected if he didn't do something for them. While they were all talkiug together a young man came up with a notebook and pencil and sympathized with them, -and wroto down what they said, and said he would write an article that would bring Ben Harrison to his senses, if anything would, and one of them gave him a cigar, and he went away looking very tierce. Oh, I tell you. there' going to be tronble." And then the Tribune correspondent no longer wondered where the "inside information" comes from which shows that the administration is rapidly drifting upon the rocks of political disaster. MLNOU MATTERS. The Chinese Minister Presents the Government with a Ring Over 3.50O Years Old. Washington, May 5. The Chineso government has made a valuable gift to the regents' of the Smithsonian Institution. Ensconced in a beautiful gold plush case is a "jade" ring, about ten inches in diameter and three-eighths of an inch in thickness. It has a hollow center about four inches in diameter. The face of the ring has ornamental spots, and its back is quite smooth. It is of a pale pea hue, though it was originally of cream color. It has creamcoloredpots about the sizo of a ten-cent piece, which, if continuously rubbed with a piece of silk, will crow in sizo. This riug is known as the J,Han Pek" jewel of the dynasty of Han. who reigned about 3,500 years ago. In that dynnsty the court .officials, when having an audience with the Emperor, held this ring with both hands, thrusting their lingers into the opening and guarding against opening their hands while addressing the throne. It was used s an emblem of submission or respect for their sovereign. It had been buried with its owner, wauncarthed from sepnlcher decently and is considered very valuable. The President Iirother. Washington Special. One of the appointments, that of Carter B. Harrison as marshal for the Middle Tennessee district, is likely to attract unusual attention, because. Colonel Harrison is a brother of tho President. It ought to be understood that there was no other candidate in tho district for the position, and that Mr. Harrison was recommended for the place by all the prominent Republicans of Tennessee, as well as by a host of business men without regard to their political affiliations. Many of these papers and recommendations were voluntarily sent to Senator tuav, who mailed them to General Harrison at Indiannpolis before the inauguration, with a letter expressing the hope that the President, when the time came, would make this appointment, and that tho fact that Mr. Harrison was his brother would not be allowed to militate against him. The truth is that Mr. Harrifon is appointed in spite of his kinship and not 1 because of it.

A tragedy odenrred near Covington, Tipton county, Tennessee, last night, which resulted in tho killing of W. T. Douglass. Mayor of that city. It seems a warrant had been issued for the arrest of Henry Donaldson, a negro, who was charged with attempting to assault a white woman. Mayor Douglass was one of a posse of ten men who went to the negro's hone to ellect his arrest. They found his cabin closed, and called upon him to open tho door. Receiving no answer, they gave warning that unless the door was opened they would break it down, at the same timo informing him that they had a warrant for his arrest. Just at this period a gun was thrust through the door and discharged by the nearro'on the inside. The contents struck Donglass, who was in front, killing him instantly. Being dark, and fearing another discharge, the posse immediately retreated, and Donaldson succeeded in making his escape. He is still at large. Ma3or Douglass was very popular. He was about twenty-soven years old, and leaves a vonng widow to mourn his sudden death. If Doualdson is caught the law's delay will hardly interfere with his immediate trial outside of a temple of justice. A Rival to the Dressed Deef Combination. New York, May 5.

They are mostly foreigners. They declare that they wi 11 kill anv railroad men who attempt'to lay rails. 'The railroad men have not renewed the attack since they were lirst driven away. Kisscngeu's-neck was broken, but it is not known who killed him, and it probably never will be. A number of men on both sides were more or less hurt. Patriotic Club Organized. New York, May 5.

An Englishman named Ware shot und killed two persons herelast night during a quarrel over a game of cards. The victims were named John and Miller. The murder was arrested. THE BUSINESS OF A TIUNCE. He Is Expected to Do Many Things, and Mistakes Are Dangerous Temple Bar. Banquets, visits, nresentations. inaugura tions of monuments, speechifying, military manoeuvers and long railway journeys absorb most of the time which he doesiiot devote to the graver concerns of state. Every day brings him a batch of telegrams announcing births, marriages or deaths in other princely families, aud these have to oe auswereci. un nis own uomestic anniversariesbirthdays, wedding-day, accession-day telegrams aud addresses come to him by the hundred, and each one must bo read to him, lest it should not receive a suitable reply. An intelligent private secretary may save a prince some of this work, but all private secretaries are not intelligent, nor do they much care to assume responsibilities. A prince like other menmust do most of his work for himself or it will be badly done. If he retires for a short while to the seclnsion ot some private estate things go wrong, aud ho is quickly summoned back to his round of showy and irksome duties. His head aches, but he must show himself amiable with everybody. He is tired of talking, but he must find something to say to the dozens of people who, wherever he goes, are introduced to him. He has seen enough of exhibitions to sicken him for life, but ho must appear to take an intelligent interest in all these shows, and cram himself for conversations about them with specialists. He must know tho exact measure of compliments which are expected by various eminent artists, authors, inventors and manufacturers. He must have read, or pretended to have read, tho latest work on military tactics by this or that distinguished general especially if the general be a foreigner in the service of an allied power. For is ho not himself honorary colonel in half a dozen foreign regiments, whose uniforms ho bas'to wear upon occasions, and is it not required of him as a commander of armies that he should 6oem to take the keenest interest in things military! Generals may bore him to desperation; he may be sick to death of military bands always playing him his ''national airs;" his head may split at the roaring of cannon and the tiring of rides in sham lights, and at the thunder of squadrons charging imaginary enemies in mimic warfare; nut he must look cheerful and well pleased. When the generals havo done with him the diplomatists como on. To these he must patter in a tongue which is 'not his own and be very careful about every word he utters, besides keeping up his tone to tho highest pitch of cordiality, for the embassador will write every word down and report it to his government, and if the prince have forgotten the right names of difiereut princes and princesses ot tho embassador's court this lapse of memory will be set down against him, and may cause a "coldness." Protection Democrats Mast Go. New York Herald. It is going to be an uphill business to elect a Democratic President in If&S. It is going to be an impossibility if the party is to bo led and managed that year uy men who don't believe in its principles and policies. No intrigues nor any possible manipulations can prevent the tariff question from being the question in that year. It is tho only live question. In the North tariff-reform clubs are getting started in every State, and will exist beiore long in every county. Their membership will not hedge or straddlo on this issue. If there are pratectionists. like the late Mr. Barnnra, so wedded to the Democratic party that they will hot leave it, even on that issue, that cannot be helped. But it ought to be understood at once that they must henceforth walk, at the tail of the Democratic procession and not at its head. They cannot be trusted in any position of control, management or influence in it. They ought to understand if a Democratic President is elected in ISftS they will not be allowed to have office or influence under his administration. The next Democrat o President will not pursno Mr. Cleveland's courso in this matter When to Advertise. Printer's Ink. Advertising is like death in this particular, that it is always in season. Times are good, business is brisk, prices are firm. People aro disposed to buy and liberal in expenditure. It is then that advertising is useful, not to stir their disposition, which is already active, but to direct the course of their patronage. Times are bad, business is dull, prices are drooping. Peoplo are disposed to economize in consumption and stint in expenditure. It is then that advertising is useful, lirst to stir their disposition, which is reluctant, and next to direct the course of their patronage. Times are quiet, business is fair, prices are middling. Peoplo buy necessaries freely, but are inert and even a little timid about an experimental or indulgent expenditure. It is then that advertising is useful, first to awaken desire and confidence, and next to direct the course of patronage thus actually created. It is obvious that for each of these separate conditions there must be a distinct mode of advertising. Farmers and Their Plagues. Philadelphia Inquirer. A New Hampshire paper, which has been studying tbo problem of insect pests, declares that one-third of the product of the fanner's toil is devoured by these plagues, and predicts that the earth is about to swing into the ago of insects, as it has already passed through the ages of fishes and reptiles, and is now in tho ago of mammals. It suggests that the best way to light these winged enemies of the farmer, most of which are night-flyers, is to light torches and bonfires in eligible places, let them fly into the flames and burn them up. The well-known tendency of insects to fly into a lire is relied on to make the plan effecti vo. A better and cheaper way, however, would bo to abolish the snot-gun. Let insectivorous birds multiply, as they will if not killed by sportsmen, and the insects will be killed oil better than by lires. lue larmers are largely responsible for their own misfortune, for they permit shooting on their lands, and too often indulge in the alleged sport themselves. The way to save their crops is to spare the birds. Origin of an Ancient Bridal Custom. Chamber's Journal. Tho cnstoiu of throwing an old shoo after a newly-married couple is almost universal. Some think that it is a relic of the days when the gallant lover carried off his sweetheart by force. Others ascribe good luck to an old shoe, and throw it after tho newly-married couple with the best intent This certainly is the most popular view, and fw parents dream that when they throw her old shoo after her they thereby give np for good and all, their control and right over their daughter. Yet this is the significance it had in the days when the Anglo-Saxon father handed the bridegroom an old shoe of the bride. Tho husband touched her on tho hand with it as an assertion of his authority, whilo the father, by the giving of tho shoe, signified his williiigneas to relinquish all claim of authority.

Archibald Fcrbes's Experiences in the Itus si an Army. Gentleman's Magatlne. It may seem a paradox, but the Knssiand are simply the most democratic people irp Europe, and for a Ktissiau to beborue would be a contradiction in terms. Every oflicor was the correspondent's comrade. Princo Shakosky, the ill-conditioned general who mado such a mess of the July Plevna, waa the ouly exception I everknew. If the samovar was in service tho oflicer shared hit tea with the corresp ndent: in tho nuddlft of a battle, if the officer had a couple of sandwiches, he would offer one of them ttt the correspondent. From the highest to th lowest, in regard to military information, thfeV Russians were incredibly frank, the cor respondent never had to ask questions as to situation, dispositions or intentions inj formation in regard to those matters was? volunteered to him. The only secret ther ever had and I must own they kept it well was in regard to the point at which tb crossing of the Danubo was to be made. SkobeielP'had not the faintest idea," ali though a couple of hours previously he had beenreconnoitering the approaches. Prince) Tzeretieff "really had not the remotest con ception." Still, even in regard to the cross ing of the Danube, the friendly Itussian' were not inexorable. I could not be told tho locality of the crossing, but 1 should be es corted betimes to tho headquarters of tho general commanding toe division whicowas to tako tho lead in tho operations. It was rather an amusing experienco. The guide sent to escort mo was in the uni form of a private soldier a tall, handsome man, riding a tine gray horse. He spoka English fluently and without a trace of accent. As we rode along together and talked, the tone of this privato soldier's? conversation bewildered Die. He krew his Europe as if it had been his native parish. Ho had what Americans call "the insido track" in re card to Euglish affairs, social, political and financial. Hespokoof country houses of which he had been the guest, and commented on the merits of n, piece of statuary in tho drawing-room at Sandringham. At last I asked his name. He wan one of Bussia's oldest princely families auc belonged to the diplomatic corps, but when the war began had volunteered fof military service, and, not being qualified to bo an oflicer, had fallen into liuq as a privato soldier. As we rode along I asked him where we wcro bound for. not imagining that a destination to which we wero full en route could be any longer a secret. But he looked upon it 6till in this light, no doubt in accordance with his instructions, and of course I had no more to say for the time being. By and by wo reached a point whence radiated four crossroads. It hecanio obvious to mo that my guido was himself at fault. 1 tookfio heed while he led me first along one road a little way, then along another, returning puzzled to tho cross-roads. At last he had to confess. "It seems to me that I've lost inr Tray." "Sorry I 'cannot be of any service' was my remark, "since I do not know whero it is 3'on want tago. I have been all ovei this region and kuow where each of these roads leads." My prince-private-soldicr diplomatist burst into a laugh, and then mentioned our destination. "Then, thia way," said I, "about an hour's ride," m TIIE MARRIAGE PROBLEM. It Is the Most Important for the Safety o the Social Fabric. W. B. Gladstone, in the 2lncleenth Century. The greatest and deepest of all human controversies is the marriage controversy, It appears to bo surging up on all eides around us, and every book which betas definitely to map out its lines ha account both interest ami is in America that from cause, this controversy -has on that value. It whatever reached a stage of development more ad vanced than elsewhere. Moreover, thct present social life of America otters at all points a profoundly important field of observation, toward which European eves have hardly yet begun to be turned. This social life, if it docs not already cmbraco. the largest province of the entire ocial life of civilized man, will shortly embrace not tho largest ouly, but the largest beyond all comparison, and will form, in constalitlygTowing proportions, a telling element m the'gcueral condition of Christendom, and even of humanity t large. - Tho present social life of America may bo said to be a new formation, aud to have begun at a date which would warrant our applying to it tho alternative title of Wavcrly, "'Tis Sixty Years Since." Mrs. Stowa must havo drawn upon tho experience of her eariy days in her admirable New England novels, surh as "The Minister's "Wooing:" but the Puritan life which she describes appears to havo vanished, at least from the wealthier circles of American society. Tho true meaning of ndiscusMou which calls into question the ancient and specially Christian constitution of the family, is that, it is a vast upthrow in the world ot thought' and fact, which, if consummated, will change, in time, tho whole moral surfaco of the earth, and shift, in a revolutionary sense, tho polarity of life. Tho chief spur thrown out lattcraljy lrom the gicat upthrow is in America. Many a n ailer oa this side tho water will be startled when he learns that in tho old 8tate of Connecticut one marriage is dissolved in every ten, and tho new State of California ono in every soven. Ho may learn with conal surprise that in South Carolina thero" is, as 1 am informed, no legal divorce whatever. I mean, of course, divorce which leads tbo way to remarriage. Again, it isnecessary to bear in mind that the divorces, as well as tho marriages, of any one tftato are acknowledged in tho courts of every other. I understand that the experience of America, as well as of this country, tends to show that divorce is largely associated with that portion of communities which is lacking in solid and stable conditions of life generally. America may sutler cape-" cially from tho shiftings of relative position aud circumstances incidental to a forward movement m things material of na unexampled rapidity, and it may also bo true that a State like Conncticut has to answer for many offenses uot her own, though she cannot bo exempted from , full responsibility for the laws 6he has chosen to enact Wo must beware of all , sweeping and prematuro conclusions. But it seems indisputable that America is thd arena on which many of the problems connected with the marriage state are in course of being rapidly, painfully nnd perilously tried ont. In so tar she is intrufttl, like a prerogative tribus, with the destinies of others, and may do much by her ex ample to make or mar them. Another Ohio Man. XCanaas City Star. The Rev. George J.
