A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

MR FITZHDQH IN CLOVER. The following letter from Mr. Fltzhugb, Doorkeeper of the House of Rep* resentativea, to a rural friend in Texas, setting forth the daily Washington life of himself and his son "Fay," is interesting reading:

?louse

D. C.. December 15,1875.

Dear I nave been trying ever since my election to write to you, but have been besieged from light in the morning until one and two at night. I bad abont one hundred and thirty appointments to make, and have bad, I reckon, without exaggeration, three thousand applications, besides men, women, and children pulling and jerking me every time I would put my head out of tne door of my offloe. 1 have bad to keep two ushers and two to three clerks ever since the hour of my election in my office, and it is now five o'clock in the morning that I have gotten up to write to you. In regard to I tried to save a place for him, but the members are so clamorous for their constituents that so far It has been impossible to do so. My force after Christinas will bo increased, and then I will be able to do something for him, and I will stick him in. Fay arrived on Saturday morning, all safe. I set him to work on Monday, at a $21 place, and he is the most delighted fellow yon over saw, I wish you oould be here with me do try and cenae on the Government furnishes me with a tine turnout and a spanking

air of horses, and before and after the sessions and recess I have exclusive use of them. My coachman comes down every morning for us, that is, Fay and myself, and after driving around to my breakfast, takes me up to mv office.

Congress is invited over to the Centennial ©n Friday. We will have a big time, corao back on Sunday. I may draw on you for $125 to-morrow, which you can draw back for on the 1st of January. I got your telegram, telling me to draw for $*200, if neeaed, but tried to do without any, and may not have to draw to-morrow, but all of our membors are like myself, tight up on first month and I hate to ask them. Come on Christmas far a few days and we will have a glorious time.

I have mora invitations to frolic with members and Senators than any man in Washington. I am a bigger man with the members than old Grant. I can't

Cut

ut my foot on the floor of the House what they naako a break for me, ahd sometimes a dozen trying at me at onee for places for some friends. I scarcely ever g9t out of the office to go on the floor of the House. I have under me the folding rooms, document rooms, file rooms, all committee rooms, all employees in the south wing of the building and entire southern wing of the Capitol. I have a superintendent and assistant in each department, and about a dozen bookkeepers, besides my office clerk, and we do things up in style. I have a boy to take my hat and coat, or can't turn round without some one at my Rack and call, and when I get all of my new appointments broken in I shall have a nice time of it.

I am making up a party already to come on to Texas on the adjournment. S. S. Cox is to head it he is the warmest friend of mine you over saw, Also the new Speaker, Mr. Kerr. Fay and myself spent the evening with Mr. and Mrs. Kerr last evening. I am a great favorite of hers, Mrs. Cox's, and Mrs. Senator Gordon's. Quite a contrast here and Austin. I can't turn for friends here. 1 have now fifty letters from my Southern frionds—all parts of the South—congratulating nic thus wags the world lot a man be prosperous and every tnan is his friend. Must close. Tell I will look out for him, and if I can't makea place myself, I can get him in some of the department* after Christmas. Write soon to your devoted friend, L. H. Fn/itti it

STREET ETJQ UETTJb

The etiquette of the streets, says Harper's Bazar, may be disposed oi in a iew words. The privilege of recognition is generally conceded to tho lady, and when sho has mado her salutation, the gentleman responds by lifting his hat, and not merely touching the rim of it, unless ho desires to bo a flunky. If onlv one of two gentlemen in company be {inown and saluted by a lady, both should bow. The converse of this, howover, is not obligatory. Two ladies in company are not both called upon to bow to a gentleman who is known only

to ono. A lady should rarely fetop for. or be stopped in the street, by a gentleman. *The gentleman desirous of accosting a lady ho may meot should turn and join her in walking and the lady, on the other hand, if the wish for tho interview originates with her, should content herself with ita expression by gesture, without a full stop in the thronged street.

A gentloman walking with a young lady, unless sho is related to him closely now or prospectively, does not oiler his arm unless some sudden emergency nifty arise which would seem to indicate that its support or protection is requirck. The lert arm is ordinarily given, with the obvious reason that the gentleman's right may be free for the defeneo he protlVrs. The sandwiching of a gentleman between two ladies has always an awkward look, and seems to be opposed to all fitness of things, by placing the man in his snug position apparently under tho

care

of his female compan

ions. A gentleman may always leave another gentleman with whom he may be in company to join a lady, and the act justifies itself but ho ougnt not to quit his male companion for another of his own isex without giving at the moment, or soon after, a plausible excuse for it.

Although every gentleman should avoid ofliciousness of service to strange ladles—tor example, handing them into a carriage, or ottering them the side ot the walk to which thev are not entitled —he sou Id be ready to give them a helping band in the case of an emergency, to pick up whatever they may 1st fall, whether a pocket handkerchief or a toddling child, and finish the service with a polite bow.

Tits races of mankind would perish did they cease to aid each other. From the time that the mother binds the child's head till the moment that some kind assistant wipe® the death-damp from the brow of the dying, we cannot exist without mutual help. All, therefore, that need aid hare a right to ask it from their fellow-mortals no .one who holds the power of granting can refine it it W a "WHAT ou earth are you looking ^fOr f" asked a man of a pawner by who /jKwas carionsly inspecting the broken railings of his front pia*za. "Looking forf" was the reply, "why, I'm like the *®poefc—looking for my •lost lean-o-er."' s*r: f* TA

SPRING FASHIONS.

Affections are cut close, are worn by old and young, are equally becoming to all. Tbey are useful for everyday wear, for hill-climbing and roof-scaling. They come mostly in the old decided colors, and are worn lopg or short to suit the taste or convenience of the wearer.

Honor is beginning to be considered a somewhat antiquated goods. Several large houses are selling out below cost, preparatory to going out of business, "as there is no profit in it," they say. Large stocks have accumulated on their hands, as they found few purchasers for even the finest quality. Some apparently heavy dealers have failed entirely, awl closed up for want of capital.

Gonerosity was much worn at the holiday season. It is not an imported goods, but of homo manufacture, and conies in all prices and grades.

Intellect is much sought after at certain shops, where it is supposed to be fouud. A ''shoddy" article is often palmed off upon shoppeis, a quality with a cotton back and a satin figure. But those really desirous of purchasing can always find a genuine article, and it i* wit'iin'tho mean* of the poor.

Fraud, though not aspopularas it was last year, is occasionally worn as a neglige by those retiring into bankruptcy and at the reception of creditors by their two jor cent, uebtors.

Orthodoxy is not so high or straight as in former seasons, nor buttoned so closelv.

Heresy Is very popular, especially when worn with white neckties. Croeds are not so much imported as at ono time, but are home-made, which causes a great variety.—[Scribner's Monthly. *"w

Has been widely used, during the last twenty-five years, iQ'he treatment of these distressing diseases, and with i«uch unvarying success that it gained the reputation of leing infallible. The sliakes,

W or chills,once broken by t, do not return, until the disease is contracted again. This has mado it nil accepted remedy, and trusted specific, for the Fever and Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever of the South.

Ayer's Ague Cure eradicates the noxious poison from the system, ami leaves the patient as well as before the attack. It thoroughly expels •lie 'l!s» iise, so that no Liver Complaints, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Dysentery orliebiiity follows the cure. Indeed, where Disorders of the Liver and Bowels have occurred from Miasmatic l'oison, it removes the cause of them and they disappear. Notonjy is it an effectual cure,but, if taken occasionally by patients oxpofed to malaria, it will expel the poison and protect them from attack. Travellers and temporary residents in Fever and Ague localities nre thus enabled to defy the flisea.se. Thelfencral Debility which iss* apt to ensue from continued exposure to Malaria, has no f»inA»dler remedy.

For Liver complaints, it is an excellent remedy. ritEPARBn ny
