Vihat the Nineteenth-Century Girl Thinks ' ¢¢No Gush.” ® Special Corvespondence of The Tribune. NEwrorT, Aug. 2%.—Have you been to sec Polly Lawtou?" is the question that is very {re- quently asked now of the intelligent visitor bere, who is supposed to have a scunmenm{ in- * terest in old Newport. If youbave not paida visit to this celebrated person, lose no timein oing so. Her home at present and ber hope Ior all future time is on the Avenue, asit should be. The edifice wherein she now holds court is the most famohs and time-honored of any in Newport. It was built in 1750, and it is called ° Redwood Library from the stately and benefi- * cent Abraham Redwood, whose public spirit and taste first suggested its existence, and then contributed largely to its prosperity. " But the old building is much jchanged since those old dsys, an much chauged also from fts modern rehabilitationiner - about 1860. You walk in now, through a broad : outer room, into a really spacions kad, high " and light, where the rcading tables are, and the <ollection of pictures, and L HERE POLLY LAWTON RECEIVES YOU 15 graciously as a pictured woman can. { must own that I was disappointed in this pictured semblance of the girl who played such havoe with such experienced gallants as the Prince de Broglic and the Comte de Scgur. This pict- * ured semblance is handsome enough, but it is * not ioteresting. ¢ That Polly Lawton!” I * exclaimed, as I Tooked at it. “But who is Polly Lawton?” asks the unen- lighiened, 1 won't say the unintellizent, wrer. “Who is this Polly Lawton that you #entimental people are all making such 2 row “ about just now? Who is Polly Lawton, that her + pictaré should be sent to the Redwood Library : yiibis late day?” And because her picture Lias just been sent to the Redwood Library by one of the Lawtan zmuilry, and ip consequence the name and fame of Polly Lawton Lus suddenly ‘been brought forward as a matter of interest, - propose to tell what I know of one . of the most interesting characters con- nected with old Newport. All of us who " know anything about Newport . Yistory know that Newport's women bave al- ‘waye'heen cclebrated for their beauty, from be- o forc and after the Revolution up to the present . But it was just after the Revolution that " Potly Lugtoms beauty brouglt Ler o fanous notice, _The Duc de Lauzon, and the rest of the - young French gallants who were of Rocham- -*beau’s army, returning from_their field of ex- pluits to France, carried with them wonderful . ttorics of the bcauties of America. In 1752 the <+Jluc de Vauban came back, bringing with him the, Prince de Broglie and the Cowte de Semur. De Vauban, it scems, had met- the -incomparsble Lawton the year « before, and, after taking ° his friends £ 10 ¥isit the besutiful Hunter, he promises him ¢ still better things to-morrow.” "It is on this * to-morrow * that the Prince meets for the ¢ first ‘time Polly Lawton. The old Quaker, « Polly’s Luther, receives these grand _gentlemen, ..and, while they are maintaming all their pa- . tience and politeness with considerable effort, under the monosyilabic reception of the * fauder, the daughter appears and apparently © repays them for everything. De Broglie breaks . o @ rhapsody at the remembrance. *‘Sud- denly,” le says, in describing his interview, “we_beheld the Goddess of Grace and of Beauty, Minerva in person, having exchanged 2 ‘her sterner attributes for pastoral charms. It rwas the daughter of the Quaker,—Pol- o1 - Lawton.” He _spelled the name, * t bowever, Leighton. *‘In accordance with the ? cuetums of her sex,” De Broglie goes on, *she - addressed us familiarly (wous parie en nous tu- ~.toyant), but with a simplicity and grace which I + exnualy compure to that of her toilet. It wasa - ¥iud of Englich dress, fitting the figure closely, + and was white as milk, & muslin _apron of the - sume color, and a large handkerchief gathered 7 elose around herneck.

ARTIOUR, —— OUR UNSOUND OFFICIAL SYSTEM. 7o the Editor of The Tribune. CHICAGO, Aug. 25.—Some of our public offi- cers appear to have a serious misapprehension of the character and duties of their positions. There s gltogether too much individualism. Men seek these oflices in order to promote their personal advantage, and without the slightest regard for the public welfare. This is an evil that should be corrected. The consequence is, many of our public oflicers are merely public vlunderers. Their only thought and their only interest is, to get as much ount of their offices ascan possibly be accomplished. This is the necessary evil of a system which is radically unsound. Human nature is the same every- where. We should encourage its noble quali- ties and secure the community agaiust its lower passions. If we do not do this, the individdal is sure to prosper at the expense of the public. Mere ad- venturers and moucy-seckers force or insinuate themselves into our representative positions. The mass of the people are, consequently, the sufferers. With few exceptions professional scalawage occupy the public offices. The great men of the country are not attracted into the arema of politics. They can earn much more money and gain much more honor qutside of this rough and unremuncrative field. They very paturally confine themselves to their private pursuits. Our politics are, therefore, managed by a sct of men who are no better than professional gamblers, ‘The truth of this statement no_one will dis- pute who has given the slightest honest thought to the subject. Itis no longer a credit to a man to be. elected to any political position. The presumption is that he has some private ‘ax to grind,” or some Selfish interest to pro- mrote for himself or his constituents. All this iswrong. The defalcations in office are so numerous, almost 8o universal, that it is time the eyes of the public should be opened and some strong remedy applied. That the money of the public should be so prodigally s‘}uundercd by a set of scoundrels is a matter of deep concern to every industrious and homest man in the community. ‘The evil is one of growing seriousness. Some- thing should be done to destroy the trade of politics, or eventually the foundation of our most cherished institutions will be sapped. The danger is very great, far greater than is generally realized. The imwmunity which is ex- tended to public plunderers, the sudden wealth which is otten accumulated, tempts many me: to enter the political arena, to break up tl business and leave their families, who otherwise would have remained in honest obscurity to the end of their lives. They are corrupted by a system which is too strong in its influence for the average integrity of man. The compensation is so small that it is quite common for men to expend in electioneering a larger sum than they can ever expect to receive legitimately from ‘their offices. Everybody knows thut such is the fact. Any system which thus tempts men to be dishonest—which almost forces them to be so—is, to sa the least of it, fundamentally unsound. There should be in this rezard a complete revo- lutjon, or our public affairs will drift on from bad to worse. ~ Either there should be no salary attached to our public offices, or that given sbould be such as will command the services of our ablest and most conscientious men. There should be no tum‘ptatiun to do wrong. Itshould be made for the interest of every public officer to be strictly honest. It should he made clear tohim that ‘““honestyis the best policy.” If this were tne case, how much lighter would our burdens be, and with how muchmore cheer- fulness would they be borne. Every man who ‘owns property now feels that he is paying more than he ought to pay, and he is moreoyer troubled with the reflection that at least half of the money goes into the pockets of a set of vampires who live and fatten upon the pubc purse; who are as much banditti as the robbers who infest the mountains of Spain. This thing should be sternly squelched. No man should bo permitted to fill a public office Baron von Beuest came to Paris to implore him to keep his faith, and the Queen of Holland added Ecr entreaties. hese advisers in vain warned him that Prussia’s triumph was a men- ace against his dynasty. He wavered, indeed, and an ordinance iwas actually drawn up placing the army on a_war footing. It wasto bcé)ub— lished in the Afonitewr next day, but ill-judged caution finally prevailed, and ‘the opportunity was lost forever. When war was declared, four years later, the fate of the Empire was scaled. e ———— BUT THEE. ‘Watching the shadows come and go, Watching the constant rea-waves flow, Watching the faithful star-lights glow, I'see but thee. List'ning to birds that softly sing, List'ning to Hope's gay caroling, List ninz to Memory's bells that ring, I hear but thee. Speaking of all that's good and pure, Speaking of love that shall endure, Speaking of joys from blight secure, Tspeak of thee, Praising the deed that can but bless, Praising the smile that soothes distress, Praising the words of tenderness, 1 praise but thee. Kissing the loveliest flower that grows, Kisung the brightest dew that glows, Kissing the sweet heart of the roge, I kiss but thee. Loving the dearest form T meet, Yoving the troth fond lips repeat, Loving il things divine and sweet, 1love but thee. MARGUERITE. ———— Spider and Suake. Danielsonrilie (Conn.) Transerips. In Nelson Williams' cellar a spider had pre- pared his web between a barrel and tub, and there, suspended from the ground, hung a small snake about 10 or11 inches in length. The thread of the web had beeu ingeniously twisted or woven around the tail of the unfor- tunate reptile, and it was evident that he had been drawn up from the grouad. The spider seemed anxfously watching his squirming vic- tim from one corner of the web, probably wait- ing for life to become extinct. The snake re- muined in this precarious attitude for thirty-six hours, and theu escaped. PERSONAL L—BASE-BALL, FRIDAY, LAVENDER ur left bower, o Jknave, needs & queen. 2, Tribune office.

TRepYiE o unless he has soine stake in the community, some _visible means of support. The commu- nity should be insured in sowe way against rob- bery and depredation. Solid, substantial citizens, as a general rule, cannot afford to abandon their business, and, for the thesake of a paltry salary, incur all the odium and annoyance and self-sacrifice of a faithful public ife. When they are tempted to do 50, the result is often disastrous. They fecl that they are giving up much, and that they are gaining but ittie (the point of houor baving been forced so low), n.n& therefore they are in- sidiously encouraged to do as uthers' do,—as Belkgap did,—to wink at means to adjust the balance, which their conscience, in its calm mo- ments, could not fail to condemn. We should not place such temptations before the weakness of men,—buman passions are dangerous snares. The corruption in official life which bas been €0 alarmingly common 15 simply the natural fruit of a wrong system. Merely” removing the El’cscut incumbents and putting men we think etter in their pluces will be but a deceptive and temporary relict. The new men will soon be no better, as & rule, than their predecessors. A new broom will sweep more cleanly than an old one, but only for 2 short time. One party has Do more intégrity than the other, and either of them, a6 things now are, is_ certain, sooner or later, to fall into the hands of schemipg and stll-sceking men. The more selfish and corrupt men are, the more do they pretend to be the {riends and rep- resentatives” of poor men,—the more do they try to deceive and hoodwink the laboring classes, upon whose -shoulders they expect to ride into power. There is no class of human beings o perfect- 1y worthless, su_hypocritical, so artificial, and essentially unreliable and dishonest as that of the professional politician. It matters not to which party such 8 man may belong, he is a disgrace tv any party, and will change his prin- ciples (such as he has) as easily as he will change hiis cont, whenever it is for his couvenience or his interests to do so. Such men fasten like barnacles upon a party, and in the end they are certain to lad it to destruction. When our offices cease to be places of honor they fall of necessity under thecontrol of necdy and unscrupulous adventurers. Men of ability aud character do not wish them, and cannot ai- ford to accept them. The offices therefore fall into contempt on account of the class of men by which tlw{ are gencerally ocenpied. It is true there are noble exeeptions, but those who have Ziven any attention to the subject are aware that sucl gn-emimxsnrcmrc,:u.\d{yynumcnnssu[~ ficient to impair the integrity of the gencral rule. Qur oftices should be places of hohor. They should be so guarded as to atlord no tewptation to the cupidity of Lase men. A public oflicer who accepts a bribe or betrays his trust should bring upon himself sure and swift punishment. Men'of probity and character will then be in- dueed to- come forward and oifer thelr services tothe community. We shall never have any sound and healthy political life until the race of mere oflice-seekers and oftice-holders s utterly and totally extermivated. The only way to bring about such & result is to render our ot} undesiravle and dangerous for the class of pro- fessional adventurers, and to make them places of high concern for all who are inspired by a laudable ambition to serve their countr JE. W —— ‘Why Napoleon IIL Fell. Klackzko, in his sketches of the Russian and German Cbaucellors, Gortschakoff and Bis- marck, bas made it apparent that the fall of the late Emperor of the French is attributable as much to his breach of faith toward Austrix in 1866 as to the war of 1870. He had pledged himself that no q‘umlnu in which France was interested should be decided without bhis con- sent. When Prussis had gained its decisive victory over Austria at Sadowns, she was triumphiany, indeed, but weakencd by the heavy task she lad performed. It was then tha Walewski and Drouyn de Lhuys urged upon Napolcon the absolute necessity of prowpt action. At the least, it was said, he shoald vlice a corps of 106,000 mea on the Rbine.
