HER GREAT DISCOVERY.

The Interesting Observation of a Woman Regarding the President Elect. Who but “the sex” would imagine that we have got for ourselves a “bargain counter” president? It was at a Brooklyn tea The ladies were discussing politics and back breadths, husbands’ foibles and gossip, all in that delightfully inconsequential way that makes up so large a part of woman’s oharms. She was an old lady, who had transplanted herself from the barren wastes and rocky coasts of Maine to the sunnier clime and the effulgence of a fuller life in South Brooklyn. To any one who knows the transplanted New Englander it is unnecessary to say she had brought all her New England thrift with her. She sat up in her straight backed way—it was at the close of a long argument on the good and the ill that would result from the outcome of the last election—pushed back a pretty white curl from the edge of her forehead and said as she set her teacup sharply down on the little table: “ Well, ladies, I thank the Lord that McKinley’s elected. He’s got an invalid wife, and he can't do much entertainin, anff that’ll be an awful savin to the nation.” There will be other things than mere politics to reckon with if women ever do come into the game.—New York Journal.
