The Grand Army of the Republic meets to-day at Indianapolis.

A number of land owners in Florida and Texas have offered to donate land to Jewish refugees. It is a good scheme, and should end in important results.

The rumor has bsen again revived that Senator Edmonds has been tendered Jadge Hunt's place on the supreme bench, but that he has not yet concluded to accept it.

The only thing which prevents Chicago from being a great city is its extreme modesty. It only claims a population of 630,000 now, being

slight increase of

125,000 since the last census. St. Lonis has yet to be heard from.

Ex-Congressman William R. Myers, of this state, is at present in Washington advertising himself as a candidate for secretary of state on the democratic ticket in this state. A boom at home would probably do him more good.

Texas is a big state, and business transactions down there are sometimes proportionately large. Recently Q. M. West paid $600,000 for 140,000 acre* of land and 28,000 head of cattle. Out of such an investment he should be able to make a living.

The last indecent novel by Zola has not been a financial success. The author was sued by a Parisian lawyer, whose name he introduced int6 the story, who demanded damages and the erasure of his name from the book. The court granted both requests.

It seems to be pretty generally understood that John Russell Young, of the New York Herald, will be appointed minister to China. Mr. Yonng preferred Japan, but as Mr. Bingham is to be retained there he will accept the appointment to phina.

Chemical experts hare exploded the idea that beef tea is the very essence of nutriment, by declaring that it is not food at all. That point settled, they might tell us something of beef itself. After awhile they will probably be able to demonstrate that man can live without food.

The Chicago police force made 31,733 arrests in 1-881, of which number 17,892 were American born, and of the balance, 13,841, there were 4,700 Irish, 3,800 Germans, about 1,400 Canadians, English and Scotch, 840 Scandanavians, said about 1,100 of other Europeans, of whom 50 per ccnt. were Poles.

The director of the mint has decided that coin which has been mutilated cannot be restored to ita position as coin by merely filling up the holes made. It cannot become money again, properly speaking, without beiag recoined. The decision will not, however, prevent the average citizen from filling the holes with lead and pasting the coin on unsuspecting merchants, in order that he may save a heavy discount.

After a visit to the president and Secretary Folger, and at the earnest solicitation of both, Hon. John C. New has consented to accept the assistant secretaryship of the treasury. This should Bet at rest the absurd stories to the effect that Mr. Folger does not want Mr. New as assistant The stories against Mr. New which have been so persistently circulated have been without effect, as the senate committee has agreed to report the nomination favorably.

Indictments have at last been found against a number of the members of the star route ring, and the instruments are now in course of preparation in the attorney general's office. The list includes General Brady, ex-Senator Dorsey and his brother, J. W. Dorwy, M. C. Beerdell, private secretary of Senator Doraey, W. H.

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY It is not nrach the fashion to descant at length upon the "Father of his country," and the famous "first in war, first in peace and first in the .heart* of his countrymen," coined by Gan. Henry Lee, is too well worn to be often quoted.

It is fitting, as Lord Brougham wrote, that we "should let no occasion pass of commemorating this

illustrious mttn,

and

until time shall be no more, will a test of the progress which our race has made in wisdom and virtne, be derived from the veneration paid to the immortal name of Washington."

The name is so interwoven with the country's history, and is so common in the nomenclature of the land, repeated over and over in the titles of villages, cities, coontieer, societies, and trade-marks, that it cannot be made more familiar, nor ita lustre enhanced. The result of recorded history and our intense faith in it, have been to apotheosize Washington so that he stands apart from and above, not only the greatest of his contemporaries but the entire race. To find fitting comparisons for his majestic dignity, spotless purity and patriotic zeal we recall the noblest heroes of dim antiquity, from whose portraits all lines of human weakness have been erased by time's attrition. Certainly at the beginning of no modern history do we find a character of equal worth, save it be that of England's Alfred the Great.

It is fortunate that our national history begins with such a splendid figure in the foreground, crowned with every honor an admiring country could grant and a reputation the world over second to none. No temptation, though oft repeated, nor adulation so abandant, nor adversity so prolonged, moved the Btately repose and calm equipoise of his serene greatness. Surely a noble model for coming generations to the youth that reads ef his boyhood's diligence and-filial duty to the young man that follows the story of his early manhood, with its industry, energy and devotion to confided trusts to the citizen by his systematic exactness ia financial matters and business relations and obedience to the qlaiins of state and country upon a citizen's duty to the politician in his single minded patriotism, and indifference to tfee rewards of office "who neither sought nor shunned greatness, who found glory because glory only lay in the ftlain path of duty and to the christian in the unaffected religion that was not pietiaticnor yet concealed. Upon the characteristic hospitality and liberality of the Virginia planter was grafted the rigid system and scrupulous integrity of the Puritan merchant.

It would ^seem impossible that such a character should be reproduced, were it not revealed that even Washington was not free from weaknesses, and that his calm dignity was shaken by gusts of passion, yet such outbursts as those at Monmouth and at St. Clair's disastrous defeat are not fully substantiated, bnt enough is told to show that his self control and evenly balanced virtues were not the result alone of temperament antThereditament, but of the exercise of a strong will directed by an enlightened conscience.

He is not a type of the American citizen that we keow— more of the aristocrat who nnitea to the dignity of position tine love of his race, or such as the English gentleman, John Hampden so similar, of whom Mtcaulay has said:—"England missed the sobriety, the self-command, the perfect soundness of judgment, the perfect rectitude of intention, to which the history of revolutions furnishes no parallel, or furnishes parallel in Washington alone."

The line of demarcation between the first republican era, with its courtly air, and the present, was drawn by the accession of Jefferson and the' influence of the French revolutionists, which introduced more perfect equality and fraternity. The rather narrow line of succession widened until the random choice of the nation could call to Washington's chair a somewhat obscure citizen to reveal the same lofty virtues and self-sacrificing patriotism that shone in Washington, in Abraham Lincoln.

John Taylor, president of the Mormon church, in a recent sermon to the faithful in Salt Lake city, said:

There was a great cry against polygamy, or biramy, as they called it, though they were entirely different In one cose it was an obligation entered into and honorably kept in the other it was an obligation Eecretly and deceitfully broken. The world was afraid it would be pulluted by the saints. God save the mark He questioned if the world could be sunk lower in the seale of morals than it is. The saints did not preach the doctrine to the world, nor did they wish to crowd it npon them. It was a part of the gospel that only the pure and virtuous men ware permitted to enter—men who would honor themselves and woman, and be virtuous and humble. The saints were married, not for this life only, as was the case with the world, but for all time and eternity. Marriage with them is a sacred obligation, for this world and the world to come. Considering the false statements published by the pious persons concerning the saints, it was not strange that some should feel that the Mormons were a grossly immoral people. He felt sorry for such modest people, rather than entertain anger against them. Concerning the clamor throughout the country against the saipts, it would not stop the growth of corn, potatoes, eta All the saints had to do was to go along obeying the gospel and building up the Zion of the Lord..

Of course it isn't strange that some people think the Mormons area grossly immoral people, bnt it is strange that our government has so long permitted these same Mormons to indulge in their grossly immoral practices. In the states bigamy is not tolerated, but in Utah there is no law on the

Btatate

books against it, and

the majority of the legislators for the territory run their harems in the most approved Turkish fashion. The country now demands of congrfts that this thing be (topped. No religion should be tolerated which elevates crime to a virtue and has lust for its basis.

Blaine and Voorhees for yeeident and vice president, respectively, on the same ticket, has been talked of ia ^Taahington for some time, and has received a wide circulation. The two gentlemen who would be most interested in the scheme knew nothing of it, and Mr. Voorhees consider* the proposition too absurd to even fjteny it.

The elections committee has adt yet concluded the Utah case, but there seems to be no doubt that it will be sent back to the people. isiklr?

The Irish laud bill ee*ma to b«- too slow in its operation for the demands of the occasion. The land coart is divided into twelve subdivisions, which, up to the present, have decided 800 cases. Of this number 400 have been appealed. to the land commission. The total number of cases on file is about 70,000. At the present rate of progression the big wigs can not get tfirough those now on file during the present centory^ and if every tenuit in the country should apply for relief the courts could not dispose of the business in less than 500 years. It if evident that Mr.-Gladstone miscalculated the number of applications when he' framed the bill, and they are now piliosj up as rapidly as have been pension claims in (his country. The act has, however, succeeded in stirring np the landlords to a wonderful degree. A reduction of twenty-five per cent, in their incomes is not pleasant to contemplate, bat if it compels them to live at home and spend the money collected from their tenant*, it will be a greater benefit to the country than all* the land bills which could be passed in a hun-

dred*ear8-

Is it not about time to stop the silly clammor which connects the names of many prominent men with the schemes of the so-called Peruvian company, upon the mere say-so of Jacob B. Shipherd? This man has succeeded in making a great noise'over a very small affair. The reckless and unauthorized manner in which he has made use of names would make the most accomplished confidence operator turn green with envy. Every name mentioned by hin has been dregged before the public in the most disgusting mariner. There is no doubt that Shipherd endeavored to interest in hiB scheme many persons of note, but he did not succeed in doing so. ^n a single instance. He constantly advised his correspondents that nearly all the prominent men in the country were in hearty sympathy with his plans, bnt thus far ffe has been unable to produce a document to substantiate his assertions. Shipherd is a fraud and confidence operator of high degree.

WASHINGTON MATTEBS. Under the above heed we have given sketches of the republican eeaator and representatives, and of matters pertaining to them. \Te now refer to the other side ot the political house.

Oar fellow-citizen, Senator Voorhees, is personally popular in Washington as in Indiana he is also influential there. He is not entirely in accord with his party, and rumor credits him with a desire to "break into" the Republican fold. While this is not probable it is by no means impossible. There is many 9 worse man than Dan Voorhees whom our party would be glad to save from political perdition. Mr. Voorhees, with bis other intellectual gifts, is sestbetical by nature therefore it is appropriate that he should be at the head of the committee having charge of the Congressional Library. The committee have decided to build a vast and magnificent edifice for the purposes of the library, to be located immediately east of the Capitol and to cost a couple of millions of dollars—maybe more. The "library is in imperative need of more room, and will have one of the finest buildings in the world to shelter it. Senator Voorhees is giving much time and thongkt to this congenial subject.

The Second district sends Thomas R. Cobb of Vincenncs8 to Congress. He is a man of mark and a fit representative of that strong democratic stronghold. He has had considerable parliamentary experience, and takes an active part in legislation.

S. M. Slocks!sger, of Mauckport, in the Third district, has been in the legislature before but not Congress. He "is a practical, sensible man, and with mow experience will be very useful to liis constituents. As a nomination is equivalent to an election he lias a Bure thing on another term at least.

Everybedy

baa heard of Wm. S. Hoi-

man, the "great objector," the "watch dog of the treasury." He is constantly in his seat during sessions, and watches the proceedings like a hawk. Judge Holman hss as intimate a knowledge of the expenditures of goverment as any other man, and an uomceEsary expenditure rarely escapes his esgle eye. He is very popular amongst tlje people but not popular at Washington where almost everybody is "on the make."

C. C. Matson, of Greeocastle, represents the Fifth district. He ia in his first term, and is a rising man in his party. Col. M. appears out of place as a democrat. If that party were iu power ho would be one of its most influential young men.

W- G. Coltrick, of Fort Wayne, represents the strong democratic Twellth district. He has hnd previous experience in legislation and can be depended on to follow his party wherever it leads to.

Gen. Thos. J. Brady, though he has Bold out his sharfc in the National Republican, still retains a controlling interest in the "Critic," a daily evening paper that used to be a mere theatre programme. He and hia associates are making alive and popular paper of it. Gen. B. also has an interest in the "Capital," a Sunday paper, and i« said to have an interest in the "Po^" the democratic organ. He doesn't appear to be frightened over the star route cases, but is cool and imperturbable.

There are dozens of Indianians settled down in Washington, some of whom are in office, others in private business. Exjadges, ex-members of the legislature, exstate officers, ex-members of congress, are as plenty as brigadiergenerals were at Washington daring the war. It is a sad sight to see men who used to be prominent at home now lost amongst the "undistinguished herd." It would be interesting for some Old Mortality to go around there and scrape the moss off from the inscriptions of political tombstones. People would open their eyes with astonishment.

Fires.

NEW YOKK, February 2L—The east wing of Kings County Insane Asylum, at Flat Bush, burned this morning. One patient was lest. He was paralytic and would scarcely have lived the day out Loss, $15,000. Two or three inmates escaped.

4 The Siren and the Sucker. ••Carita!" lies, mamma coming" ^-and with a bright smile on her pure, sweet face Carita O'Rourke tripped lightly down the broad staircase^that lea from her boudoir to the parlors below, with their array of chandeliers, the bright ay svhii

in slippers of the tiniest pattern, sank into the velvet carpet with which the floor of the parlor was covered, and she

glat

lided so noiselessly across the apartment Aristides McGuirc, who stood in an attitude of careless grace near a marble figure of Psyche, was not aware of her presence until a pair of soft arms were twined aboat his neck and a velvety kiss was pressed upon hia lips. "Ah! my own dear love," he said, returning the kiss with compound interest and back taxes, "I thought you would be here"'—and again their lips met.

Arisf.tles evidently wasn't such a suckeras le looked. ••Why did you come so late?'1 Carita asked as Aristides unconsciously moved towards the etagere, on which Mr. O'Rourke's box of cigars was always to be found. "Oh, I thought I would give some other sucker a chance," was the laughing reply "some of the crowd that know it useless to come around unless they bring a box of candy. I am past that point, you know, where you love me only for my confectionery-purchasing ability," and again he laughed a joyous triumphant laugh. "Perhaps not," said Carita. "Perhaps you have not got such a walkover around here as you think. 'Tis an old saying that the O'Rourke women look upon men's hearts as mere playthings for their idle moments. Beware, then, that you do not tread upon the corns of my haughty pride." "I am not worrying any, Sis, just now," said Aristides. "Nevertheless," said the girl, "you ltaay do so before long. There are many men besides you whom' I could love. In fact I think you are no good." "Perhaps you would Eke to say goodby," said the young man in a trembling tone.

Carita gazed at him earnestly^ for a moment. A baleful light was in her eyes—those eyes that Bad so recently beamed upon him with a melting tenderness. "Good-by," she said suddenly in low thermometer-below-zero tones,pointing to the door as she spoke.

Aristidea saw that his fate was sealed and stamped. He walked slowly to the door. "Good-by," he murmured in hoarse tones.

The words fell from his lips with a bitter, heart-broken intonation, very different from that passionate Incredulity with which they had, first spoken it. Their meaning* had forced itself upon him now, and a glimpse of the horror they signified came before him. He opened the door, walked down the steps in a dazed manner, and was lost in the darkness.

The next morning he was fined ten dollars on a charge of drunk and disorderly.—Chicago Tribune.

Prices of Horse Stock,

During the past summer and fall, horses have been in active demand and business opening"up next season, as it now jftomises to ao, we may look for a healthy paying demand for good horses, says the National Live Stock Journal, Chicago. There is a great deal of stir in the West, in the way of making, new farms, stage routes,etc., and the plainer kinds of stock are in demand to meet these wants. Through these demands, horses that have been in use in Western cities, and are slightly the worse for the service they have seen, are shipped Westward, thus opening the way for acces1 stock. sions of fresh Hence, those of our readers who haye really good horses on hand—sharp-going roadsters, fine carriage horses, strong, good-moving business, or heavy draft horses, will be quite safe in holding these till spring, taking care to have them in selling condition. During last season, prices advanced in Eastern cities—Boston, for example, where the percentage of increase was reported as being at IS to 30, taking the two prior years as a basis, and it is said that so near an approach to scarcity had not occurred ifc twenty years. Heavy teams, such as were bought in 1880, for $350 to $400, sold at $425 to $550 during the past summer and fall. A very active demand was reported for shapely, good-moving, darkcolored pairs, well matched, and weighing twelve to thirteen hundred each, for carriage use. Such pairs sold readily at $600 to $1,000.

Sandwich Islanders in Swimming. Our guide had arranged for an exhibition or the swimming powers of the natives, and upon our arrival we found several men on the side of the fall where we took our stand, while upon the other bank stood six or seven dusky maidens. The water tumbles over a series of natural bridges commencing high up in the mountain range. The main fall is a sheet about twenty yards wide, and with other smaller streams falls into a circular basin beneath at a depth of at least 100 feet A series of rude declivities haye been cut by the natives to a depth of sixty or seventy feet, to enable

way in which those

Kanakas

disport

ed themselves in the water. Divested of all clothing, both men and women would dive into the basin or pool to a depth of thirty or forty feet. A coin thrown into the water would be brought up with the greatest rapidity.* Some of the girls took a position on a rock which, to judge by eye measurement, was at least sixty feet high, and jumped into the basin with their bodies

a rigid

position. Others again ascended to the top of the fall and came down with the water in its descent. No small wonder, indeed) that the Kanakas are able to conquer the sharks, which they do by getting under their belly and ripping it open.—San Francisco Chronicle

Oaie in Trimming Trees. ~..- In trimming apple trees and gathering apples men should not be allowed to climb upon the limbs with heavy boots on, A little injury to the bark is apt to cause" the tree to wither, if not die. India-rubber boots or bare feet will not do any injury. A gentleman relates the following circumstance: A hL'ed man dropped a pole heavily into the fork of a thrifty 10-year-old red astrachon tree. This was in December. I11 June following the bark separated from the wood and dried up over the bruise. By September the foliage on that limb became pale and light. The dead bark was trimmed away and the bruise covered with clay, but by the next fall the limb was entirely dead. The I'rnh next it is feeble now and will die, as the entire tree will, soon.

THE SEJIATJK.

WASHINGTON Feb. 21,1882. Dawes, in presenting a petition in behalf of the Indians, said 100,000 persons had signed similar petitions now before Congress, and urged that so universal a demand of wealthy and intelligent citizens should accomplish its purpose, and the Nation should keep its plighted faith and treat the Indians justly.

Plumb denied that the position and wealth of the petitioners shonld make them better judges of what was wise and jaat treatment of the Indians than were the people who lived among them. He pictured the leniency with which the crime-stained Indians had been treated. In the mattere of property they were treat* with greater consideration than white men. He wanted to have done with sentimentalism, and let the Government's relations to the Indians be put npon a rational, practical basis, and be better understood. As to the remedy of giving lands in severalty, suggested by the petitioners, the fact was that there was not a BiDgle case on record in which the Government had been able to keep the Ihdisns upon a reservation.

Dawes Bpoke of the indignities heaped upon the Indians, who, having been despoiled of their domain, had been driven in despair and self-defence to retaliate.

Plumb, referring to the petitions, said those whom the Senator represented had columns of sympathy for the Indian, bnt only a passing word for those who had Buffered at his hands.

Dawes briefly responded that the first outrages were committed by the people of the United States upon the Indians.

Teller said the petitioners were fnll of patriotism, fervor and ignorance, and devoid of common sense, which ought to control government legislation. Tie people of the frontier coald not consistently ha charged with haying wantonly violated treaties, and their personal interests dictated their fair treatment. He demanded for the Western settlers the same measures of ppotection asked for on behalf of the red men, and contrasted the indignities heaped npon them by Indian ouilaws, with thecare and consideration lavished by the Government upon their barbarous red neighbors.

The petition was referred and the debate ended. It was agreed to adjourn to-day until Thursday.

The Senate then took up the apportionment bill, and afier a few remarks upon the measure, it passed by a viva voce vote.

Bills were introduced as follow By Plumb, amending the act of 1874, to encourage the growth of timber on Western prairies.

By McMillan, to set apart a portion of Montana Territory as a permanent reservation for the Pigeon, Blood, Blackfeet, Gros Ventre and Aesiniboine Indians, and for the payment to each tribe of $50,000 annuity per year for ten years.

By Van Wyck, to repeal the act of March 3d, 1879, amendatory of section 2,403, Eevised Statutes, in relation to deposits for surveys of public lands.

The resolution declaring that the law granting arrears of pensions ought not to be repealed, and the amendment thereto, again came up as unfinished business. After several amendments were offered and rejected, the whole subject was tabled —yeas, 26 nays, 23.

On motion of Logan, the Grant retirement bill was taken up, and laid over aB unfinished business for Thursday.

After executive sesBjjon the Senate adjourned till Thursday.

THK HOUSE.

WASHINGTON 21,1882. Kasson will, on Tuesday, ask the House to consider the tariff commission bill.

Pound, from the Cdmmittee on Public Lands, reported a resolution calling on the Secretary of the Interior to report the annual gross earnings and net earnings of Ihe Central Pacific, Kansas Pacific, Union Pacific and central branch of the Union Pacific railroads, from the commencement Cff operations until the present adopted.

The Home then went into Committee of the Whole on the Post Office appropriation bill.

The clause under consideration was that appropriating over $10,000,000 for the tr apportion of mails by rail. An amendment was agreed to—85 to 69— providing that mails shall be carried without extra charge on the fastest trains, whenever the Postmaster General thinks it desirable, and npon failare to eomply with this provision, the compensation of the roads shall be reduced fifty per cent

Singleton, of Illinois, offered a proviso prohibiting the discontinuance of the steamboat mail service on the Mississippi river between St. Louis, Mo., and St. Pau', so long as navigation remains open ruled out on a point of order.

The cUnse for transportation of mails across the St. Lonis bridge was amended to authorize the Postmaster General to pay for special service there not over $25,000 annually, nor more than the lowest private bid for the service.

The clause relative to Star Boute transportation being reached, Springer offered an amendment providing that no part of the appropriation shall be paid for expedited, extended, or increased service, the cost of which would exceed $1,000, nnless there has been a new advertising and letting.

Page opposed the amendment as entailin? needless expense, and in the interest of a ring abont the Capitol the most damnabie that ever existed.

Springer defended the amendment and offered another, authorizing the Postmaster General to terminate any mail contract which had been rub-let at a lower rate, and to enter into a contract with the sub-contractor at the same price for which he had agreed to perform the service-.

Page heartily approved this, as the only honest amendment yet offered. Pending action, the committee rose.

A motion was made to adjourn over till Thursday, bnt the Bepnblicans filibustered to prevent it, and secure an adjournment to to-morrow. After along discns«ion, however, the motion to adjourn over was carried. 4}

Foreign Mews. BHADLAUGH... 4

LONDON, February 21.—In the Honse of Commons this evening, Sir Stafford Nortfacote announced that he would oppose the introduction of the Gladstone resolution that inquiry into the working of the land act Would be injurious to the interests of the good Government in Ireland.

Labouchere, Liberal member for Northampton, moved that anew writ be issued for an election in Bradlaugh's constitaency, as the latter was disqualified by resolution of the House. The motion is supposed to be an attempt to draw a declaration from Government in favor of Bradlaugh.

Lord Churchill moved an amendment that Bradlaugh was legally disqualified. The Attorney-General advised the house to vote neither way, but to permit Bradlaugh to swear, subject to subsequent legal liabilities.

Both the motion and amendment were rejected, the former by a vote of 307 to 18. Bradlaugh then walked up to the table, took the oath, signed without waiting for the clerk, and declared that now, having taken the oath, he would take his seat. The Speaker told him to withdraw below the bar. Bradlaugh said he would obey, bat would claim hU seat.

Lord Churchill moved that a writ for a new election be issued, Bradlaugh having, by his action, vacated his seat.

Gladstone moved an adjournment of the debate until to-moriow, to enable the question to be discussed calmly. The members of the opposition agreed, but expressed the hope that the Government would be prepared to propose something to vindicate the outraged dignity of the House.

When Bradlaugh reached the table to take the oath he produced a Testament. Obeying the Speaker's injunction, he withdrew below the bar, and then advanced to take his seat. The Speaker again ordered him to withdraw, and he took a seat in the upper gallery.

Infirmities in Marble-

New York Sun. "I meet some very curious persons," said a sculptor to a Sun reporter. "For instance, yon see me now trying to make a broken nose. This ia the bust of a Southern merchant who died about a year sgo, and his widow insists that, as he had a broken nose, this portrait of him should faithfully show the infirmity. But that ia nothing. Lock, eee here!"

In a corner stood a model of a prepossessing young face, exeept that it was cross-eyed. "I spent three days in trying to con? vince the mother of that girl that the omission would be proper and artistic, bat all to no purpose.* She insisted that it could not be a portrait without that peculiarity. I pleaded that the Grecian and Roman sculptors did not even represent the eyeball in its natural state, hut the only anawer was: "Them fellers could do aa they pleased. I want my darter's eyes list aa they wnz." "Not long4 ago a lady who came to criticise her husband's butt said that, although he waa advanced in yesra, he had a roey complexion! "A friend of mine rushed in here one day and breathlessly recounted how he had seen in Calvaty cemetery a profile with two eyes, one of which was almost over the ear. Did I doubt his word? No, sir. I sat him right down here and showed him a line of infirm busts. He went away happy. "There.you see a bust that has no lips, I was going to say. That waa made in obedience to the desire of a Wall street banker. He insisted that his fcrotherV lips were so thin that the red didn't show. I altered them a dozen times, and finally, to save my reputation, traced a light line to show where Nature and myself knew there^must have been the cojtfonr of the lip. "No, my experience has not been that people desire their frienda' portraits idealized. The true artist can,, and shonld, disguise what nature has overdone, or not properly done, without destroying the resemblance. But the majority of persons

won't have it. In this, they enjoy realism. -ijjg I

American Oars in England.

London Truth. It is really becoming a serious question whether public safety will not render it necessary for us to adopt the long American railroad carriages. Now that the faculty of committing theft or murder upon isolated passengers has been brought home to the criminal classes, railroad crimes seem to be on the increase. Every one who gets into an empty carriage does BO at the rick of a man following him and cutting his throat. The appliances for stooping the traiirin case of assault are absolutely useless, unless the criminal be an utter fool, for he could easily plan his ait nek in a manner to hinder his victim from touching the signal. A murderer in nine cases out of ten escape by jam* ing out of the carriage when the train ii slacking speed. If Lefroy had done thi«, I doubt whether Mr. Gold's murderer would ever have been discovered. Only a few days sgo I was in a railway carriage. Opposite me was a gentleman, and the other seats were untenanted. We sat watching each other the whole way. I thought my vis-a-via had a bad countenance, and be, I suppose, thought the same of me. Whenever he felt in his pocket for his handkerchief, I made ready to throttle him.

Army Offioera' "Irregularity." From the Kanssa City (Ma) Times, Feb. 10. Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas M. Anderson and Second Lieutenant John Baxter are on trial by order of General Crook, commanding the Military Department of the Platte, the former lor permitting an "irregularity" of the other while in discharge of his doty as Acting Assistant Quartermaster, The circumatances are that the Post Quartermaster, Lieutenant Baxter, had

considerable prop

erty on hand which had been inspected and condemned, and was to be sold at auction. The auctioneer's fees would amount to a considerable sum of money, and tbo Quartermaster concluded that he would secure the tees and divide tbem among those soldiers at the post who had been doing extra duty, the post allotment for ps\ for euoh extra duty having been exb •:i«d. Accordingly he constituted the soldiers auctioneer, and to keep u,» appearances in making the returns, a exilian who was in the post-trader's store, cuipted for the auctioneer'a fees, and turned them over to the Quartermaater, who divided them among his men,
