Vance on a Gallon's. Character.
At a banc-net of the Southern Soci
ety in New York the other night, Sen
ator Vance responded to the toast:
"A Nation's Character is the Sura of
its Great Deeds," in the following
speech: -
Mr. President and Uentlemen: l ap-
iiTit iiaatriiv lnniiKA t lit
a . . 1
th
istence in this city the metropolitan
city of thrj western , world U an object-lesson
jof true patriotism and man
ly self-respect, not only deseryiag of
the admiration of your Southern coun
trymen,' but well worthy of the care
ful consideration of your lale enemies
of " the civil war. . Thoughtful men
among these will see.at ouch in the
tender love which you cherish for the
land of your birth, your sorrow for its
misfortunes, and your zealous care for
its good .name, an earnest fidelity to
the uewvduties and obligations which
you have assumed under the mandate
of the inevitable. They see that you
approach! them without fawning upon
powe', or unmanly and foul-bred im
putations upon the cause which failed
or upon y.mr associates whe failed
with. it. I They see that you deem it
necessary to prove that you are sincere
to-day by processing that you were
iying yesterday, or to show your devo
tion to the Union of the present by
the readiness 'with which you deserted
the Confederacy of tbe past, and you
iuyite them, to believe that the sime
love and fidelity which you so richly
lavished on tliat section in which you
were born can, and if it ne d be, will
be poured out in equ-tl affluence upon
our whole mighty land.
. True patriotism, in fact, is based
upon the love of home, and cannot
exist without it. In the valley is
restled the cottage -in which, perhaps
you were bom. In youth-it is all the
world you see and your affections fas
ten upon the objects it. presents the
people by whem you are surrounded,
the stream which rushes by the doo;,
the roof-tree5, the fields "and the inclos
ing hills rising to the distant mount
uins. . life advanceu you climb
those hills and the horizon enlarges as
you' go. You still love the Scene, but
with ad Hen nt ulfeetiou. FinaLy, when
you stand U.u the mount. tin s sum

country watered by the uughtx river
pouring iU-nVid into the sea which l ite
stream of die narrow vaiiey 1 us lf
cjme, and other valle and other
Stream melt into sti'l olhcr da:ii8,
Ih'-n us the ;lor;ous conception oreaks
npou you. the contrasted has I love of
lnvme is brotdened and diffused over
LhSnliole into iht love of country or
patriotism, a sentiment for which men
pledge' life, ?or'nne a-.d s icr.'d honor,
and gladlv die in retieuiptiuu ot that
rptede. But the seminal genu is the
love of hom, lnrt liplat, kindred,
friends, which iippoj ts ar.d illuminates
the whole. It is tne pure gold indefin
itely t)eaten out.
Like all goal things, patrioMsm has
als( iis shams. Since the close of the
war the tendency in this direction has
been every wheie mail if est, and honest
men should be everywhere careful to
rebuke it. There is a cheap courage
some men exhibit by defying their
fri-nds, which is close of kin to cow-ardii-,
and there is a patriotism which
some men manifest, by humbly and
ignobly confessing to the sins and
sh incomings of the laud which gave
them birth, which is still closer of kiu
to treachery. It is the impersonation
of hunmti meanness. No true son of
that Southern land will permit his
tongue to utter words of blame or
derogation of its people or in impeach
ment of their motive.
The noblest conceptions of hum in
liberty, which ever animated the sons
of man hud their home in the minds
and hearts of the Southern people.
The very truest ideals of governmeut
for the security of that liberty by law,
and guarding it by constitutional lim
itations against, the insidious approach
of power and the. snapping effects of
time, were conceived and promulgated
bv Southern statesmen. In their work-
to-day we liye and move and have our
political beiiig. In the inspiration of
their genius these United States have
become great and prospeious beyond
the dreams ot poesy. Because they
disregarded the accumulation of dol
lars, covert sneer for their unthrift has
cr?pt into the mercenary spirit of the
time, but the philosophic historian will
record that by their unselfish wisdom
and love of country they hnve done a
work for their posterity Ur greater ana
grander than the scraping together of
all the dollars which could be piled be -

The session of Congress just closed
appropriated about S519,000,0()0. - The
long session appropriated over 500,000,
000. So that the total .num snnt
by the Fifty-second Congress will ex
ceed $1,025,000,000.
This surpasses the record of the first
Billion Dollar Cougress, which merited
and received the evere condemnation
of the people
The Democratic House must receive
its full liareof the blame for this reck
less extravagance. It has beeu false
to the pledges upon which it was
elected. It has discredited Democracy.
And yet it is not, as the Republican
organs would make out, wholly to
blame for this disgraceful record. '
Nearly every appropriation as passed
by the llou?e, iu which' these bills
must originate, was increased by the
Republican Senate. The aggiegate of
the additions is not yet figured out, but
it will, judging from the pst, more
than eq.ial the amount -by which the
total exceeds a billion dollars.
All these bills were likewise ap
proved by a Republican President. Mr.
Harrison did f not, we believe, in a sin
gle instance interpo.-e his veto to pro
tect the taxpayers.
In addition to this, the, increase of
permanent appropriai ions made by the
Fifty-first or Reed Congress, which the
late Congress was bou tut To provide fr,
amounted to nearly 870,000.000.

Four Important Appointments 3Iad.
Last Thursday the President sent
Jie following iiviirnatious tothesea
.iie: Josiah Quincy. -of Massachusetts, to
be assistant secretary of state.
Robert A. Maxwell, of New York,
fourth assistant postmaster general.
Isaac P. Gray, of Indiana, envoy ex
traordinary and minister plenipotenti
ary of the United States to Mexico.
Pal rick A. Collins, of Massachusetts,
to be consul general of the United
States at London.
Edward Ma isfield Shipp, of Vir
ginia, assistant surgeon in the navy.
Ex-Governor Gray is'oneof the most
prominent Western Democrats. He
was an active Candida.- for the. presi
dency atid af'er Mr. Cleveland was
nominated his name was presented for
the vice-preMdency. .Notwithstanding
any disappointments Mr. Gray may
have experienced he worked earnestly
for the success of the national ticket,
stumping the Hoos.er state, where he
is extremely popular with the rank and
file of the party. The Mexican Mis
sion has been recently raised to the
first-class and there is a salary attach
ed to the post of $17,500 a year. It is
one of the-most important offices in
the "ift of the President.
Patrick Collins, of Boston, who is to
be consul general to London, is one of
the mot promiuent Irin-Anieiicaiis
in this couutry, aud he has all of their
warm hearted, sincere characteristics.
There is no Democrat iu the city of
Boston more popu Ur than "Pat" Col
lins, as he is familiarly called. -He has
always been a Democrat, and worked in
the trenches wi h the boys. He has
several times refused the nomination
for mayOr of Boston, and it was re

him the p;siHou of attorney general in
his cabinet.

From Paris to Italy. '
' After spending about a week in the
great metropolis of France, on Jan. 31
at 0 p. m. we left for Italy and the
East. The weather was disagreeable
and the cars very inconvenient for such
weather and such a trip. Six of us
were locked in one of those little com
partments. They have two me til lie
vessels about 3 feet long and 8 inches
wide filled with hot water to heat the
car, and that is all the heating appa
ratus they have. Of course these are
changed every two or three hours, but
they do not heat the car as it should
be for cold weather. They do not even
carry drinking water on the car. That
night I was like a boy. When any
thing is scarce he is always more fond
of it, or when there U none, he alwavs
wants it the most. So that night I
was very thirsty. I got off at a statum
away down there in France to try to
get some water. But the Freuch word
for water had slipped my memory and
English was a strange sound in that
section. I had learned dunng the last
week in Paris that when I could not
succeed with words, sometimes 1 could
make them understand by gestures. So
I commenced gesticulating like I was
iu the et of drinking. A young man
seemed to catch on at once ; they all try
to understand you. He motioned for
me to stand on the platform, and he
ran across the street. I atood there un
til the train was about to start when I
got aboard. You can imagine how I
felt when that youngster stuck a bottle
of beer at me through the car door.
Well, mistakes will happen, and espe
cially in France if you cau not speak
trench.
We got a little sleep during the lat
ter part of the night, and when I awoke
and looked out next morning, the
mountains were towering up on either
side with their peaks covered with
snow. Our train ascends the valley
of the Albanne with the Jura mount
ains i.n one side and the Alps n the
other. Old castles are also seen along
this route. We soon reach Modan.
Here a custom-house examination by
the Italians. This is a well fortified
place, from what Lcould see of the dif
ferent forts on the high peaks around
the place. I suppose they have not
forgotten Napoleon's attack. Iu a few
minuUs after leaving Modan we enter
the great Mt. Cenis tunnel, which is
8 miles in length, and when you reach
the center you are over 4,000 feet un
der ground It takes about 30 min
utes to run through, but the scene that
is presented on emerging from this
tunnel is one for the most skilled art
ist. It can not be depicted iu a letter.
I had a great many pictures of the
Alps and thought that many of them
were overdrawn. But I am now con
vinced that the painter's brush has
never 5.c:.e the o,,Kj-ctJ j"t?ce. For"
several weeks we bind Fen but little
sunshine, but as 'we rolled out from
that dark tunnel aud saw the snowy
peaks glittering in the sunlight under
a clear sky, our hearts rejoiced. While
these mountains are capped with snow,
along dowii the sides it looks warm,
and a great many little stone houses
may be seen surrounded with green
grass. I saw one house on the very
top of one of these peaks, from which
if one should fall he would go for
thousands ot feet below.v We went
along down a gorge ith the mount
ains towering far above us on one side,
while the deep gorge was on the other,
thousands of feet deep.
As we were rolling around the sides
of those mighty Alps memory took a
backward roil to Napoleon and Han
nibal. No one can imagine whut these
men with their soldiers endured and
suffered. Over these same defiles and
mountain ranges these great armies
marched through snow-drifts, bridging
si reams and enduring many hardships.
What a great undertaking it was. But
a strong determination generally ope is
a way. When NVpoLon was told that
these Alpint solitudes stood an impass
able harder for his armies he said,
'There hall be no Alp-!" His motto
was, "Where there's a will there's a
way."
We glide slowly along down the
mountain slopes and soon are iu the
luxuriant arid sunny plains of Italy.

When You Rest, Best.
A fund of good advice to tired house
keepers and mothers is embodied iu
these word: When you rest, rest. If
vou have a few moments to sit or lie
down, do not hing else in that tew min
utes. Dj not allow your mind to plan
what work you will do nexHior how
vou wiil do it. Women in ike a mis
take in catching up a bit of crocheting
or reading instead of giving themselve
up to entire repose of body and mind.
We may think it possible to make the
most of the precious spare moments by
doing two things at oner, and while
the body is at rest allow the mind to
be active and at work. The tempta
tion to read a new lxok or i he latest
periodicals is -strong; but the art y
iearnitt2 not .even in think is one which
should "lie acquired. By entire inac
tivity and repose the amount of ret to
be gained during a frw minutes of req
uite from work and care will be al-
ijoaost doubled.

WASHINGTON LETTES.
From our regular Correspondent.
If Congress persists in refusing to
fix a day later in the pring,than the
fourth of March for lhe inauguration
of our Presidents, all of the out door
ceremouies should in thr interest of j
numanuj oe auousnea. it w m tl
snort ot a crime certainty a crime,
against health to keep thousands of
feople standing for eight hours in an
inch or two of snow and slush," or sit
ting on temporary standf, poorly pro
tected from the bitter north-west blast
which drove the snow flake in all .di
rections, as was done, here, on Satur
day, in order to give them an oppor
tunity to tee the inaugural parade.
By ten o'clock in the morning . there
were several hundred thousand ' people
on Pennsylvania Ave, between the
Capitol and 22nd street, and they re
mained there until alter six in the af
ternoon, some sitting on stands, pay
ing from $1, to $5, each for the privi
lege, and others standing, although the
greater portion of the tiniea blinding
snow storm was in progess. The pro
cession was supposed to be started at
about one o'clock, but as a matter of
fact its head did not reach the Presi
dent's reviewing stand until after
three. J'here was terrible suffering
from the cold, aud President Cleveland
gt his full share of it, and if he hasn't
n constitution of iron he will pay for
constantly bare nig his head as the
various organizations in the line passed
before him, the marching men suffer
ing but little less than the on-lookers.
So evident was Mr. Cleveland's suffer
ing that Gen. Scofield, who was sitting
with Mrs. Cleveland, Mr. aud Mrs.
Stevenson, and other prominent ladies
and gentlemen, directly behind him.
placed a long nilitary cloak over his
shoulders before the parade ended.
The attendance at the inauguration
was large, but not as large as it would
have been had the weather been clear.
The storm reduced the number of ex
cursionists from the immediate vicini
ty more than one half, according to
the estimates of the railroad men. It
also played havoc with the street deco
rations, and kept a, number ot the mot
striking features out of the parade,
besides lessening tbe number of para
ders in the organizations which braved
the weather, and I am very much
afraid that it will result in a harvest
for th doctors, and perhaps for the
grave diggers to.
The inaugural ball was a great suc
cess. The immense hall of the Pen
sion Office, so well adapted for the
purpose, looked with its $10,000 worth
of illuminations and decorations like a
veritable fairy land, although the 12,
000 men and women iu full, dress wlro
attended did not a! J! rescl:!tt fairies.
Mrs. Cleveland wa?, of course, the ob
served of all observers, and if the indi
cations are not at fault she is going to
be more of a popular idol during this
term of her husband than she was
before, if such a thing can be possible.
The official programme for the ball
closed at midnight, but somehow the
ball went on cpuile a while after it was
Sunday morning.
"What, does it mean?" Was a
question heard on ail sides when it vas
learned that President Cleveland had
not said one word about the annexa
tion of Hawaii in his inaugural address.
What made Ibis omission singularly
significant was that he prefaced the
address by saying; 'I deem it fitting
on thi weeasion, while indicating the
opinions I hold concerning public
questions of present importance" etc.
Hon. Don M. Dickinson when this
Hawaiian matter was first brought to
public attention while, acting in other

Now that one has the chance to
carefully ex inline the legislative re

is really surprising, eeu to thoe who

a single measure of n ational impor

either House or Senate, got through.

a king and his courtiers for tvo presi

The democratic party Tn our country
has been the sole balance-weights, tho
sole ratio of resistence to this centrah'r-t
log tendency.
The time will no doubt come when the
struggle of the South in behalf of States7
rights from 1861 to 1865 will have beetle
proven fortunate forhe existence of the
whole government; in that, although it
failed, it drew attention to the vagueness
of the constitution thereon, and im
pressed tbe natieu with the idea of en
couraging state governments to zeuloua
watchfulness and giving its due weight
and prominence to the supreme court,
Iu a governmeut like ours, a union of
active, eulighteued and iudependent
states, wit conflicting views, aud some- -times
interests, it is easier lo put a proper
restraiut on vague aud undefined pow

ever useful and necessary, beyond the
ex Dress provisions of the instrument. tlit

Now the present ad tain isi rat ion would
seem to have a herculean task before it.
It is expected to counteract the evils to

government of a few to the detriment
of many. But as the blexsing of God,
like a great leavon, permeates the nation
whose rules profess uudpractice impar

that tho administration of -O rover Cleve
