WaMhinston's Clirap liiiiielieoiis. "D. D. L." in Now York Tribune, There is one litllo feature of department life here which may bo of interest elsewhere, as Washington is not the only placo whoro cheap living is an objoct to a good uliaro of tho popu lation. This is tha cheap luncheon, which socnis peculiar in just this form to Washing ton. A milk dealer here has a dairy near each department, to which the clorks report in con siderable numbers. Thi'ro are neat wicker chairs ranged along the wall ou each side, and tho room is pleasantly decorated. Thero are singing birds, etc. The milk is literally sold over tho bar, thus carrying the American custom of a standing drink "into even tho moat innocent form of the indulgence. Coffee, cream, biscuits, etc., are sold at reason able prices. The dairy opposite the treasury is a great resort, where may bo seen not only many bureau officers and men of considerable portion in tho government servico, but a great many others who do not want a cheap luncheon, but a light one, and know that if they once set tle into a restaurant chair the result will bo a Bpoilcd appetite by dinner time, secretary Chandler is one of the frequent visitors, and often may be seen standing in a crowd of treasury clorks, drinking his mug of milk and munching his "i-cent biscuit that is, it is a cents if ho takes a battered biscuit, aud only 1 cent if it is unbnttered. It will be seen by a alight intellectual effort that tho salary of a cabinet officer for one year would purchase 800,000 unbnttered bis cuits. The secretary' future may bo regarded, therefore, as reasonably secure. If the sec retary takes a mug of 'milk and unbnttered biscuits, the total cost of his luncheon is the magnificent sum of 7 cents ; two buttered bis cuits will raise it to 9 cents, and if he should take a piece of pie which he probably would not do as he comos from New England, where pio-making is a religion and not a sor did pursuit the cost will reach 14 cenla. This is regarded, howeverf as extravagance ouly to be justifled in a cabinet oflicor. . Blasted Hopes. An old colored man in Halifax, who is beg ging money for his coffin, uses the following plea: Tse tired of life longin' fo' de grave. Seventy-eight years now I begun dis misserable existmico. As I grow in age I fostered fond ambishun, pictnriu' deroad to wealth and fame. Here I am to-day, poor and wretched as when I was born; hopes ob success hlarsted; bones' waitin' wearily fo' do day ob rent Gib but a few cents to help mo buy a coHin to bury my achin' body." Voting by the Aid of a String. Utica Herald. It has remained for Alderman Jones anil a Republican elector in the Third ward to invent a new and certainly novel way to vote. In the brick bnilding in Pearl street, directly opposite the Third ward polling place, at the city hall, lives an old tad feeble man. who was unable to get ont to vote. A large piece of striiiK was given to him, nnd he tied his ballots on the ead of it He thftii raised the window and let thoin down to the ground. Alderman Jones took tho bal lots in his hand, and holding them above his head, and carried them end the string to which thev were fastened, across tho street to the polls, tho old man having hold of the other end of the string. The inspectors took the bal lots, untied them, looked at th-3 man holding tho string in the window acrom tho road, and doposiiod them in the ballot box. nnc iid Xot T-Ike William" jalk Detroit Free Press. "I am back again from Jaspor's stormy shore," said Bill Grant, as he l.: 1 his quilt from off his broad shoulders, "aud it's my opinion that in sound judgment and right down, sharp sense, woman is far superior tc the monarch man." "Why so?" we inquired . "Well, you see, in the, past twenty years I have made more brick and been refused by more women than any ten men in Georgia I thought I had the thing dead at Newton fac torv until last night, when I asked a well-tc widow if she could warm over a few of hcv bnried affections and maVe room enongh in her heart for a second husband. She said she would never marry another man unless she liked the way he walked." "William." she sweetly said, "the moon is up, the night is clear; now, come out and get is the middle of the road and step toward town, and if I admire the etyle of your gait I will call yon back and marry yon, promising to cook fpr your brickyard crowd all the days of mv life. I'.emembor, if you stop or look back before I call you, you are never to darken mv door again." "Thinking I had a soft thing of it, I went out isto the road, threw my head back, "placed my arms 'a-kimbo,' and promenaded up tho road. I continued to walk, thinking surely she would call me back.

We would particularly call attention to tha meekness and wisdom of Mr. littio in recog nizing the proi'ouud truth that every woman s "Tung" is her ow n, and in deciding to '"take a walk."

Ho was just in time to hear the invocation or the young ladies. Ha yelled out, "O, you sweet darling confederates, the Yanks arc coining!" Thero was a btilt at this. The laggard pounded on behind, swear ing, uO you sweet darlings. 1 hope the Yanks will get von!'' Tho federals were right at their heels. The flying confederates wheeled in their saddles, laughing at tho certain capture of tho slow rider. Suddenly his tired horse stumbled, fell, and threw the fat rider over into a ditch, whoro ho escaped notice, while a detachment of federal troops headed Oif the main band and captured every one but the man who was saved througn haviug the poor est horse.

Charley Osborno is a Wall street broker of whom most peoplo who pav any attention to Btock gambling have heard. I saw him at his lunch in Dolmonico's down-town restaurant. He sat at a small side table, on which were a mutton-chop, fried potatoes, bread and butter, and a glass of alo, altogether making a meal of moderate size. His watch lay beside his plate, with the case open, and ho glanced at its face between mouthfuls; and yet, instead of hurry ing, he was eating with unusual deliberation, though his anxious regard for tho ilight of time was plain to be seen. "Jiake haste or yon win get ieit, said 1. I am not not trying to eat fast," ho replied. stopping and leaning back, as though glad to lose a few seconds: "I am striving to do it elowly. My best record for a lunch of this size is six minutes. 1 was proud of it L could pop out of my ofliee, fill up, and be back at my desk inHide of a quarter of an hour, easy; but just as I got myself trained down to that point, my doctor said I had got to throw away my reputation for celebrity or get measured hjr a cotlin.

Several months ago a chock, for tho ealary due him was sent from Washfngton to an officer of the United States Geological survey, who had it cashed by the nearest post trader. The latter mado it over to one of his creditors, and it slowly came east, passing through several hands and in time reaching this city, where it went through the clearing-house, and whence It was sent to Messrs. Biggs A Co., of Wash ington, for collection, being drawn upon tha L'nited States Treasurer. When presented in the cash room for payment the other day, it was disojvert'd that the check had not been signed by the distributing otiicer who drew it, but of all the persons and banks whoso in dorsements covered its back, not one had no ticed the lack of tho signature. At last, after all its wanderings the disbursing officer signed the check and luggs & Co. received the money. Xo JFriend of Mine. Airs.

Why is it that our newspaper editors do not of U tier remember the remark of tho pronent editor of Tho Tribune, that tho day is coming when tho position of a first -class oditor will be moru influential in the United States than that of a member of tlio cabinet at Washing ton? Rev. Joseph Cook. In his criticism of the American press, on Monday, Kov. Joseph Cook credited tho above extraordinary statoiueut to tho editor of Tho Tribune, We think Mr. Cook must bn mis taken in tho idea that the present oditor of Tho Tribune ever made auy such remark. If he did make the assertion, ho has a very low conception of the inllueuco of a "first-clans editor." We can assnre Ilev. Josoph Cook that the reason why "our newspaper editors do not of-t'-.uur remember" that remark is because they do not bliove it contains au ounce of truth. If thero is any first-class editor 111 tho United States who believoa'.ho has lens influence than a member of the president's cabinet he had cither better hang himself at once or take the risk of iuking Mr. Chandler's navy by adding one more common sador to tho weight it is now staggering under.

Terra Co tin LumiImm. A remarkable material called "torra cotta liiiiilwr" has rocontly been brought lo notice in England. It is composed of the top layer of fire-clay beds and saw dust, exposed to hea and pressure. Slabs, bricks and boards of any shape may be moulded from it, and it is capable of being cut by edged tools, pierced by nails, sawn, and otherwise manipulated, just as wood is. But the strangest feature about it is that it stands, without any apparent effect upon it, a more intense heat "than fire clay will bear; and for lining furnaces, for bridgo walls in smelting furnaces and other places of great heat it will be a valuable and almost inexpensive substitute for asbestos. Water seems to have no destructive influence upon it Its weight is about that of an equal mass of cinder, and its color varies from light buff to fierce salmon. No donbt it will bo found of great value for building purposes. l'onkllii'N Curl. Chicago Times. Ex-Senator Conkliug's famous curl on the forehead has gone, and alas! it is feared for over. A newspaper man who met him not long since at Philadelphia says: "The curly lock that used to ornament his noble brow baa boon clipped; his head is growing bald, and his beard has turned from a silver gray to a golden white. He has grown much stouter since ho and Mr. Piatt made their respective bows to the world of greatness and fame, but Conkling has not lost a particle of his manly dignity." The ruthless sacrifice of that world renowned lock must be taken as tho strongest Eossiblo proof that Mr. Conkling considers imself irrevocably out of politics. A 3l3'KterlouH Koiaan Coin. Louisville Courier Journal. A coin found at Taylorvillo, 111., hears the inscription of au emperor of Bomo iu the year 2o4. Its rovorso sido reads: "To the Jonius of Ctrear." Tho discoverer wishes that tha fact be made known, the coin having been found twenty-five feet below the surface. It is probablo that somo Roman soldier, in a scuffle with one of the barkeepers of Tavlorville, dropped tho coin, and was too proud to look for it after having been kicked out of tho saloon. Dakota jilovinsly lie-scribed. Dakota Free Press. CoL Pat Donan gets indignant over tho fail ure of the admission measure, and expresses himself as follows: "fakota has been placed in the attitude of a professional beggar, shinning around in dirty lobbies, pleading and whining for her own in alienable constitutional rights. I am tired of the whole business, and I think our duty now is simply to invite congress to go to the devil, and set up independently on our own hook. Dakota has domain enough, resources enough, material advantages of soil, climate and min eral wealth enough to make an empire herself. She ought to haug the first fellow who goes, or proposes to go, to Washington on anv begging expedition. ' With more territory than New England, New York, New Jersey, and half of Pennsyl vania combined; with" more population than New Hampshire, Vermont, Delaware, Florida and Nevada; with more daily papers than any three southern stato put together, and with troro general intelligence among her people than is to be found in all the professional poli ticians of both parties at Washington, she has within herself everything necessary for a glo rious homeland." KfTeets of Shocks on Eess. It is a common belief among persons who keep poultry that the shocks and tremors to which eggs are subject during transportion road or railway affect the germ contained in tbo egg. JL Dareste, who has been studying this matter, found, a few years ago, that in eggs submitted to incubation directly after a railwav journey the embryo very generally died; but a few days' rest before incubation obviated this. He has lately inquired into the elect of shocks on the fee undated egg gorm, with the aid of a tapoteuso, or machine used by chocolate makers to force the paste into the mills; it gives F-iO blows a minute. Monstrosities were always the ' result of the tremors so caused. Tbia cause is the more remarkable that it acts be fore tho evolution of the embryo; whereas the other causes M.' Dareste has indicated, ae elevation or lowering of temperature, diminu tion of porosity of the egg-shell, the vertical position of the egg, and unequal heating, only modify the embryo during ihj evolution. The modification impressed on the germ by those shocks did not disappear after rest, as in the case mentioned above, but-it ia not known .why. A few eggs escaped the action. THE DAYLIGHT STORE!
