GRANDJIOTHtU'S ADVICE
BT ELIZA M. 8HEHMAX.
Nowhat'B the use of frettin'
Because things don't go right!
Does It make the dark cloud lighter,
Or make the Bhadow bright?
'TIb God who sends the "rainy day,"
So"praj be reconciled.
And when you 're tempted to complain,
Just "count your mercies," child.
Now what's the use In frettin' ?
Td really like to know.
It will not start your cabbages,
Nor make your roses grow.
From all such foolish fancies
Be for a time beguiled.
And when you 're tempted to complain,
Just "count your mercies," child.
Oh, what's the use of frettin',
Since on the hill of fame
You cannot reach the highest niche.
And carve a deathless name?
The very sweetest flowers
Oft at our feet grow wild,
Then be content in thine own sphere,
And "countyour mercies," child.
r
Now what's the use of frettin'
At duty's humble sound?
Strive earnestly to do aright
What lies within thy bound.
Tour Father feeds the sparrows small,
And clothes the lilies wild,
So look In faith to Him above,
And "count your mercies," child.
IN HARD STRAITS.
'Nine o'clock, sor, an' the hotwather;
an' is it the rest of the bacon ye'd be
after havin' for breakfast?"
"Will i' not be too much, Bridget?"
"Sorra a bit, sor."
"Very well."
And with a half groan, I, Basil Hath
away, sprang out of bed and proceeded
to array myself in unexceptional cos
tume trousers, vest and frockcoat.
My only shoes, alas! an accommodat
ing relative some twenty doors off had
taken charge of shabbier garments, one
by one, kindly advancing sundry mon
eys thereon.
Three of us were in the same plight
and school fellows and old chums, now
thrown together in manhood by the ca
price of name fortune, and fighting
shoulder to shoulder the great battle of
life in the great city.
As I dressed, one of the trio, Hal Tre
vor, came bounding by three at a time
up the worm-eaten stairs.
He was fresh from the morning lec
ture at the hospital, and hungry as a
hunter, I thought with a shudder. I
heard his cheerful greeting of Jack
Hornsey, hard at work since daylight
on "Coke on Littleton."
"Well, old bookworm, ready for break
fast! Where is the captain?"
"The captain!" How the old title,
bestowed still in honor of my three
years' seniority, set me dreaming. I
was aroused by the dull thuds of a po
ker hammering violently at the inter
vening walls.
"All right!" I shouted. "Ring for the
bacon."
In a minute there were three of us
gazing with rueful looks at the break
fast arrangement. A loaf of stale
bread, a piece of butter the size of a
walnut, and three tiny rashers, that
either could put out of sight with ease..
"Is that all, Bridget?"
Every line of the girl's honest Irish
face was eloquent with sympathy
"Not a bit more, sor."
He laughed.
"Turn out your pockets, lads. There
is my last coin."
And he produced an exceedingly
shiny sixpence.
Jack, after much rumaging, showed
a quantity of fluff and a brace button.
I had threepence ha'f-pennjr in coppers.
"Odd man out for the bacon," -quoth
Hal.
"No; divide it between you," said I.
"A man has been rash enough to invite
me to dinner. Hand over the loaf."
Jack gave me one keen glance. I
'liink he suspected the pious falsehood.
Hal bless the boy was quite uncon
scious, as happy as though we hai1 not
a care. The frugal meal had just been
disposed of when we heard a great
puffing and blowing on the third floor.
That had but one possible meaning a
creditor.
"Whose turn?" asked Jack, lacon
ically. It was an ancient arrangement now
that on the advent of a dun only one of
us should receive him, the others being
in the ci'y that is. in the adjacent bed
room. "Your own," cried Hal, as we de
camped, leaving the door ajar to watch
the course of. events. "1 wish you joy.
Jack; it is old Blunderson, snorting like
a grampus, as usual."
Old Blunderson was a general provis
ion merchant, who had let himself be
beguiled into supplying miscellaneous
goods until his bills really frightened
me. He was the exception that proved
that old rule, "laugh and grow fat," as
crusty, ill-conditioned a wretch as ever
read one portion of the Lord's prayer
backwards. A modern Falstaff, minus
the wit, he always ascendedslowly, rest
ingon each stair.
We were safe for about lire minutes.
Jack employed them in preparing for
his reception, and we watched proceed
ings with amused curiosity.
1 he first was to produce a huge to
bacco pouch, taking from it about half
an ounce of tobacco. From this he
lilk'd a long clay pipe Jack's meer
bc'iaum preceded our clothes to the
pawnbroker'.- depositing the remain
ing carefully on the table.
'An alarming sacrifice," murmured
Jack, shaking his head over it with a
regretful sigh.
The next grasp was to grasp the fire
shovel and tongs.
"Weapons of offense," whispered
Harry. "He meditates assault and bat
tery "
Hal stopped abruptly in sheer amaze
ment. Jack was deliberately removing
evil coals from the fire to the shovel,
and upon these he swept his cherished
tobacco. Then he placed the shovel
upon the bottom ledges of two chairs at
i he f urt'ier end of the room, threw him
elf into the one nearest the fire, and
complacently lighted his long clay.
Of course the room soon filled fast
with smoke and a most pungent odor.
"Old Blunderson hates tobacco as a
certain personage hates holy water!"
grinned Hal.
"Bad policy, though, to irritate him,"
grvnibled I.
By tuis time our enemy was in the
doarway, gasping for breath and shak
ing a great hairy fist at Jack by way
of filling the interval till speech re
miiicd. "You abandoned young profligate!"
Jack removed his pipe, nodded, and
quietly resumed it.
"Where are the other scamps?"
"One gone for the doctor; the oth
r -" and a jerk of the speaker's thumb
towards the door behind which we stood
completed the sentence.
Old Blunderson made two unwieldly
steps toward us.
"Better not." said Jack.
"Eh?"
"Typhoid fever bad case conta
gious," fibbed Jack, between his puffs.
We saw old Blunderson's face turn a
ghastly green with fear. Still he
looked incredulous; we bad played so
manv tricks before.
"Gammon!" he gasped at length.
Jack rose slowly, walked to the cor
ner and produced the shoveL
"Fumigating the room," said he.
"Better have a pipe."
And old Blunderson fairly turned and
fled with such celerity that he gained
the next floor in seconds instead of min
utes. We were laughing over his discomfit
ure, when Bridget's head appeared at
the door.
"I thought Td tell ye, gentlemen, the
mistress is just comic". The saints pur
tect ye, for she has been rampagin'
like a haythen all this blessed mornin'!"
Our faces fell. Mrs. Callaghan, our
worthy landlady, was not a foe so read
ily dislodged, and her powers of invec
tive were simply unrivaled. Hal was
the only one who could soothe her. and
he came to the rescue.
"My turn," he said, with a look of
comic disgust. "You fellows get into
my room and clear out of the house the
minute she is seated."
As we did, seeing Hal hand a chair
(as we glided by) with the deepest of
mock reverences and an expression of
extreme devotion on his handsome fea
tures. "Making violent love to the old
beast!" as we would have elegantly ex
pressed it.
It was the evening of the same day
a dull November evening, much in har
mony with my thoughts, as I leaned
against the doorpost of our house and
recalled the good old times when life
was a merry farce for us all.
I had no heart to work. All that day
I had hawked my manuscripts.from one
publisher to another, vainly hoping to
fet a loan upon them. My three-pence
alf-penny had been carefully invested
at a dirty cook shop, and I was glad to
think there must have been just enough
cold meat to satisfy the boys at dinner
and tea.
Presently I would go in and hunt for
any fragments that remained, for I was
desperately hungry.
Through the fog came a slender fe
male figure disguised in a waterproof.
She dia not notice me until quite abreast,
when the light fell upon her face. Then
she gave a frightened glance. I saw
two things, how pale and oeautiful it
was, anf what a depth of misery lay in
the startled eyes.
It was a low neighborhood in which
we lived, though separated by but a
long alley from a fashionable West end
street, a dangerous locality for a young
girl at that hour. I crossed the road in
order to accompany herunobserved.and
had hardly done so ere I saw her
brought up by some man, looming un
steadily in the mist.
"Come here, my pretty dear!" said
he.
She gave a faint scream and tried to
slip by him, bu . the drunken wretch
caught her by the loose waterproof. In
another second he measured his length
on the pavement; but, strange to say,
the girl sank down also, insensible,
dropping something that looked like a
jewel case.
My prostrate friend was relieving his
feelings by a round volley of abuse. Not
daring to await the arrival of a police
man, I caught up his victim and her
case and made a hasty retreat. At the
foot of the dilapidated stairs I hesitated.
Should I carrv my fair burden into Mrs.
Callaghan's little parlor? The sight of
Bridget in full flight, pursued by shrill
invective, decided the point.
"Bridget," said I, "this lady has
fainted. Come and help me."
"Ah, sure, sor, poor dear."
We carried the stranger to the com
mon sitting room and essayed to bring
her round. Presently she opened her
eyes and began to speak incoherently.
"Delirious!" said I. It was a great
relief to hear Hal's springing step. He
fave a low whistle of astonishment as
e entered, and felt the patient's pulse,
while I gave a brief explanation.
"Feverish very-. She must be put
to bed at once. Where does she live0"
"I have no idea. Search her pockets."
But the search was fruitless.
"Call a cab and I will take her to the
hospital," suggested Harry.
I looked at the flushed face and the
bright, beautiful eyes and my heart gave
a great senseless throb of disapproval.
"No we cannot turn her away. Fetch
a nurse, Hal, and she shall have
my room. You will take me in for a
night or two?"
"Of course, old man," and Hal flew
off.
Then I thought about our landlady.
"Bridget," said I, "how about Mrs.
Callaghan?"
"I :im the mistress, sor! Sure I'll tell
her you've got the fever, an' divil a bit
will she come nigh ye."
One more difficulty remained, and
that the greatest, the money problem.
Well, my coat and vest must go.
So for three days 1 patted about the
apartment in an old tattered diessing
gown, being .supposed to be down with
fever; meanwhile the real patient had
careful attention and strengthening
nourishment.
The third day a notable event hap
pened. A high class monthly sent me
a guinea for a contribution, and re
quested a similar one. I worked cheer
fully after that till the crisis came, and
the nurse gleefully reported that the
young lady was conscious and asking
for her father.
"Mayl see her?" said I eagerly.
"Dear, dear; no, sir. The excitement
would throw her back. Besides she
must not talk. He father is Mr. Bull
ion, of street."
Bullion, the great foreign banker?
What brought his daughter, unattend
ed, into this vile side street? Time would
explain, perhaps. Meanwhile, Jack put
on" his hat and departed in quest of the
great. I an ho he was with us, his
usual imposing air and magisterial de
meanor lost in the agitation of the mo
ment. He shook me warmly by the
hand.
"Your friend has explained all," Mr.
Hathaway. I am deeply grateful to
you. Where is my child?"
The most renowned physician in town
was quickly summoned, " but in vain.
Mr. Bullion begged him to devise means
to remove his daughter. At presentshe
must not leave her bed. In a few days,
perhaps, with returning strength, she
might lie for two or three hours at a
time on the sofa in our sitting room.
Further change was imperatively for
bidden. So Mr. Bullion, with many apologies,
begged that some of his daughter's fa
vorite pictures and a few chairs, etc,
from her boudoir might be brought, and
we could not refuse. A few hours
transformed our bachelor den into a
kind of fairy palace.
Mr. Bullion was naturally a constant
visitor, and I had to receive him in the
tattered dressing gown. Twice he found
me writing with manuscripts littered
around.
"You are an alienor?" he queried, with
a smile.
"A would-be'one."
"Pray do not desist from writing on
my account. May I amuse myself for a
time with your papers?"
He borrowed a bulky one on leaving
to submit it, 1 r said, to a publisher
he knew. Next day I received a letter
from a well-known firm, offering $250
for the copyright and an additional $250
if a second addition were culled for. In
my youth and inexperience it did not
occur to me for months the money came
from the banker's pocket.
Of course, I eagerly assented, and
took my coat and vest out of pawn not
a day too soon, for Miss Bullion was
pronounced convalescent, and that after
noon her father's strong arms conveyed
her from one room to another.
I lived in a fairy land for a week till
our guests departed. She explained the
visit to our obscure street it was to
pawn jewelry for her brother's benefit,
awild lad, whose excesses had driven
him from home, and who had recently
been writing her letter after letter, hint
ing at frightful consequences if she
could not furnish him with money.
"Mr. Hathaway," she said, "will you
be my friend and try to reclaim him?"
She put a transparent little hand in
mine as she spoke, and I promised. Her
"friend" I would have promised her
anything for such a title.
Then an eventful conversation took
place between me and the banker.
"You have abandoned the idea of be
coming a barrister, Mr. Hathaway, and
the profession of an author as a preca
rious one. Unite with it another pur
suit. You are a good linguist, and I
badly need a foreign correspondent.
The hours and duties will be light
enough; cast in your lot with me I will
take care you have no cause to regret
it."
I thought of my "friend" and as
sented. The firm is Bullion & Hathaway now,
the junior partner having married the
senior's daughter. John Hornsey is
their lawyer, a man much respected in
the profession. Hal Trevor is just be
ginning to make a stir as a fashionable
physician.
Whistlers.
Whistling, says a London paper, is
intensely and peculiarly English, and it
has flourished very much of late years,
which fact looks a little awkward for
the intellectual character as well as per
sonal manners of the nation. Let any
elderly person of good observation and
memory try to think what would have
been the effect upon a room full of peo
ple, in his salad days, had a steady.con
tinuous whistle been set up by any one
in company. There were no railway
carriages for people to whistle in; but
fancy if any passenger in a stage-coach
had ventured to whistle! We all know
that a habit spreads very quickly, and
the habits of individuals become the
habits of classes, and in time the habits
of nations. There is just the connec
tion between an individual and his coun
try, through the classes with which he
is most familiar, that there is between
the sentiment of egotism and the senti
ment of patriotism, through the middle
sentiment of parochiality. This partir
ular habit of whistling, therefore, may
have spread from a potboy to a people,
passing through many steps of class con
tagion by the way.
Few Frenchmen whistle, and Italians
never. The French, indeed, have a
proverb on the subject, which is not
complimentary to their lively neighbors,
ourselves, when Germans whistle, and
it is not often they do, it is with melody
prepense. They cultivate odd gifts of
amusement, those convivial Teutons,
and whistling is sometimes practiced
among them as an accomplishment.
But it is precisely because a German
whistles with skill that he keeps his en
dowment for service when called upon,
and seldom whistles in public, or with
out being asked. The Englishman, who
cannot whistle, does. Do we not all
know the stolid fat man of a few words,
but of one unceasing sound, who is so
entirely the creature of habit that he
takes up the same position at regular
periods, and if he cannot get his accus
tomed chair pines nervously in another?
But, in his place or out of it, Tie whis
tles softly and oleajinously, as if he
would never grow thin. His whistle is
not the shrill piping of the plebeian
youth, who suffers not the drowsy air
to slumber nor the sharp winter wind to
thrill him into silence. It is a fat, round,
soft, hard breathing whistle, as of an
elderly grampus overcome by heat.
Then there is the restless man who
whistles, and who, so far from gravitat
ing to one loved spot, never sits five
minutes in any. His whistle is the most
irritating of all, for he seems to be per
petually suffering from a bad tune in
the head, which he is vainly trying to
whistle away. The restless whistler is
great at the devil's tattoo. Hs beats
that infernal rappel with his5 finger-nails
on the table, on the crown of his hat,
on anything responsive to the diabolical
drumming. A knife or poker will serve
him in keeping up a steady tap-tap-tap
for as bad a quarter of an hour as was
ever chimed on a cracked bell. If
chance should move him to put his
hand in his pocket it is a dead certainty
that he will whistle. For he is the bird
of ill-note; the prophet of disturbance in
the moral atmosphere; the Mother Ca
rey's chick of the vexed life-sea.
Women in Russia.
In the Russian literature of the day
the women have a very conspicuous part,
so much so that the present period is
called "the woman's era." In fact,
there is no magazine, no daily or week
ly journal that does not have women on
the editorial staff. True, among these
writers there are no geniuses, but as a
rule their work is not inferior to that
of the most widely read male literati.
Strange, indeed! During the dark per
iod of the Nihilist movement, while the
members of the sterner sex were every
where hiding themselves and reducing
themselves to nonentity, our women
came boldly to the front and took in
their delicate hands the hard task of
curing our numerous social wounds.
They organized the corps of Sisters of
the Red Cross, and the sanitary corps to
battle against the various epidemics.
They started subscriptions and col
lections in aid of those suffering with
famine. They taught the peasants'
children for a salary that would hardly
buy the tobacco of the male teachers,
from $35 to $100 a year. They estab
lished asylums for children and the aged,
hospitals and industrial schools through
out the country. They formed private
university classes for their own educa
tion. Now female physicians, female
assistant surgeons, female teachers and
female telegraph clerks are to be found
in every province. The energy, ability,
self-sacrifice and good will of the Rus
sian women of the day are indeed
wonderful, especially in view of the
apathy, selfishness and cowardice of
the men.
i i o
Two Kinds of Girls.
Home Visitor.
There are two kinds of girls; one is
the kind that appears best abroad the
firls that are good for parties, rides,
alls, etc, and whose chief delight is in
such things. The other is the kind that
appears best at home the girls that are
useful and cheerful in the dining-room
sick room, and all the precincts at
home. They differ widely in character.
One is often a torment at home the
other a blessing; one is a moth, con
suming everything about her the other
a sunbeam, inspiring light and gladness
all around her pathway. The right
kind of education will modify both, and
unite their good qualities.

Two days' moderate application of
the means in question enabled Mr. Ot
to Eichhorn, 1413 N. Ninth street,
St. Louis, Mo., to thus write us: I had
been a sufferer for the past six weeks
with severe pains in the shoulder and
spine so that I was unable to do any
work. Advised by a friend, I used St.
St. Jacobs Oil. With the second appli
cation relief was had and a cure effected
in two days.

The most eminent physicians of the
day highly recommend St. Jacobs Oil as
a cure for rheumatism. It can be pur
chased at any drug house, and the
price is insignificant, when you take
into consideration the wonderful cures
it will produce.
ASTONISHING THE NATIVES.
Effect of a Traveler's Devices on the Natives of
New Guinea.
D'Albertn, in his account of his trav
els in New Guinea, tells some interest
ing stories. His porters, who had agreed
to take him to Hatam for a payment,
stopped at a village to rest; and on be
ing told to go on said: "This is Hatam;
pay us our wages." He knew.however,
both by the distance and elevation, that
they were deceiving him, and told them
so, but they again said: "This is Ha
tam; pay us. How do you know this is
not Hatam?" He then took his aneroid
out of his pocket and laying his finger
on a point of the scale, said: "Here is
Hatam, this thing tells me where it is,"
and then explained that when they got
higher up the mountain the index would
move, and when they reached Hatam it
would come up to the point he had
marked. This astonished them greatly,
but they would not believe it without
proof. So he let one of them carry it
himself to the top ,of a small hill near,
when they saw that the index had mov
ed; and on coming cown that it moved
back again. This quite surprise dthem.
They acknowledged that the white man
knew where he was going and could not
be deceived; so they at once said: "Let
us rest to-day; to-morrow we will go to
Hatam." Of course every man and
woman in the village wanted to see the
little thing that told the stranger where
lay the most remote villages of the for
est; and thus the traveler's influence
was increased, and perhaps his personal
safety secured.
In his second journey he provided
himself with dynamite and rockets,
which were very effectual in frightening
the savages and giving him moral
power over them. At Yule island he
was on excellent terms with the natives,
on whom he conferred many benefits.
Yet during his absence on an explora
tion, his house was entered and a large
quantity of goods stolen. In recovering
these and firmly establishing his power
and influence he showed great ingenu
ity. Calling the chiefs and other na
tives together who all pretended great
regret at his loss, though the robbery
must have been effected with their con
nivance he told them that he was de
termined to have his property back, and
that if it. was not brought in twenty-four
hours he would fire at every native who
came within range of his house, which
fortunately commanded a great extent
of native paths, as well as the narrow
strait between the island and the main
land. He then made his preparations
for a desperate defence in case he was
attacked, loaded some Orsini shells and
mined the paths leading to his house, so
that with a long match he could blow
them up without exposing hjmself. At
the end of twenty-four hours, nothing
having been brought, he commenced
operations by exploding five dynamite
cartridges, which made a roar like that
of a cannonade, the echos resounding
for several seconds. He then let off
i-ockets in the direction of the native
houses, and illuminated his house with
Bengal fire. All this caused terrible
consternation; and the next morning the
chief arrived with five men, bringing a
considerable portion of the stolen goods
and trembling with fear to such an ex
tent that some of them could not articu
late a word. He insisted, however.that
the rest of the goods should be brought
back: and the next day, to show that
he was in earnest, fired at the chief
himself as he was passing at a distance
of three hundred yards, being careful
not to hurt but only to frighten nim. A
canoe was also turned back by a bullet
striking a rock close by it. The
effect of this was seen next
morning in another visit from
the chief, with five complete suits of
clothes, axes, knives, beads and other
stolen articles. Much more, however,
remained? and D' Abertis took the oppor
tunity of impressing them thoroughly
with his power. He first asked them to
try to pierce a strong piece of zinc with
their spears, which were blunted by the
attempt, while he riddled it through and
through with shot from his gun. He
also sent bullets into the trunk of a
small tree a hundred yards distant,
showing that a man could not escape
him. They had been seated on a large
stone near his house, which he had
mined. He now called them away, and
having secretly lighted the match, told
them to look at the stone. A tremend
ous explosion soon came, and the stone
disappeared. The natives were too
frightened to move, and begged him to
have pity, on them, promising to restore
everything. A great hole was seen
where the stone had stood, while some
of its fragments were found a long
way off. For twelve more days he kept
up a state of siege, turning back all
travelers and many canoes by rifle balls
in front of them, but never hurting any
one. Then another installment of his
goods was brought, leaving: little of im
portance, and ultimately lie recovo:ed
almost everything. During the wftole
of this time lie never hurt a single5, per
son or did any damage to their proper
ty, but succeded in getting back his own
by impressing them with nis, to them,
superhuman power. The result was
that after eight months' residence he
parted from these people on the best of
terms. They all embraced him, and
most of them shed tears, while their last
words were "Maria raul Maria rati!"
"Return Maria! Return Maria!" that
being his second name, by which they
had found it most easy to call him.
Charles Sumner on Art.
Z. L White, in the Providence Press.
Discussion of one branch of art led to
another, and Vinnie Ream's statue of
Lincoln having then been recently un
veiled, the senator spoke of that. He
had great sympathy with Miss Ream,
and admired her patience and persistence
in the study and pursuit of art,
but he did not think her work
was worthy of a place in the capitol.
We reminded him that almost all of Mr.
Lincoln's friends and associates were
pleased with the statue, and declared it
to be a perfect portrait of the martyred
president.
'That is not strange,1 ' said the senator.
"The uneducated eye very frequently
mistakes a caricature for a portrait, while
they are very different. Good portrait
painting is an important branch of art,
and requires not only special training, but
an aptitude for art which must be born in
one. A caricaturist may be no artist at
all. His success depends not upon re
producing faithfully the forms and
features of his subject, but in distorting
some of them. We distinguish one face
from another, not by the features which
are most alike, but by those which are
most dissimilar. If our friend's nose
is a little long, or turns up or down; if
the form of his eye or mouth is a little
peculiar these peculiarities arrest our
attention and enable us to know him at
first sight. Sometimes we see two per
sons whom we may say bear a striking
resemblance to each other. Generally
we are led to suppose they have this
resemblance not because their features
are in the main similar, but because
some peculiar feature of one looks like
the corresponding feature in the other.
"The skill of the caricaturist consists
in discovering this peculiarity and not in
reproducing a correct picture of it, but
in exaggerating it. If you examine a
popular caricature in one of the illustra
ted newspapers you will find this to be
true. Very frequently the features that
are not peculiar are drawn with little or
no attention to the forms of the origin
als, and might serve about as well in a
picture of one person as in that of an
other. But the odd thing about the
man is made many times more odd than
in the original. You will very frequent
ly hear people with uneducated eyes de
clare that a caricature in rvaich not a
single feature is faithfully reproduced,
and in which one or more features are
enormously exaggerated, is a perfect
likeness, when nothing could be
further from it. The same people
would also be very likely to think that
a really creditable portrait was a com
plete failure."
A question from one of us drew out
from Mr. Sumner some equally inter
esting remarks about portraits. "The
real artist, when he paints a portrait,"
said he, "reproduces the features of his
subject faithfully; but that is not all
that he does. The human face is as
changeable as the cloud scenery, and
the art consists not in painting one of
the moods of the subject, but in repre
senting it in its normal condition. The
artist must therefore study his subject
under varying circumstances, compre
hend the character of the person he
would paint, and put that upon the can
vas. It frequently happens that an ex
cellent portrait does not at first strike
us as a faithful likeness, and a person
uneducated in art is very likely to con
demn it as a failure. The reason for
this is that the critic remembers the
face when it was affected by some spec
ial condition of the mind. A good por
trait grows in favor. It Ipoks more and
more like the original as we become
better acquainted with it, while the de
fects of a bad portrait or caricature
grow upon us and finally destroy its
value altogether.
"Now, Vinnie Ream's statue of Lin
coln is a caricature. Mr. Lincoln had
very marked features, and the peculiar
ities of his face have been exaggera
ted. The effect is that very many peo
ple who are not critical look up at the
marble face and think that it is a cor
rect liKeness, although it is nothing of
the kind."
A View of the House from the Galleries.
Geo. P. Lathrop In Harper's Magazine for March.
From the galleries of the house of
representatives popular government ap
pears to consist of a confused mass of
desks and desultory men the desks
littered with books and papars, and the
men continually walking about in every
direction; of a vast amount of private
correspondence, a relay of page-boys
obeying a Turkish magnificence of
lapped hands from this and that mem
ber to do his errands; and a monoto
nous droning by the clerks, together
with a minimum of oratory. All this
against a dignified background of cigar
smoke in the lobbies, and of coat-rooms
and barber-shops, where congressmen
lounge and joke, or confer on coming
measures. It is also apparent, from
the amount of work done with the pen
knife, that the house is determined to
have order as to its finger-nails, what
ever may be the fate of public business
in this respect. You hear some half
audible speakinar, but the general walk
ing, talking, and rustling; suggest how
Demosthenes, if he had enjoyed the
privilege of a seat in this body, might
have dispensed with the aid of the sea.
Then a division takes place, and mem
bers pour in from the lobbies, the res
taurant, the committee rooms, to pass,
like a drove of sheep, between two tell
ers. The efforts of inexperienced or
unimportant members to get attention
are pathetic. One is perpetually swag
gering about, but never speaks; another
goes up and murmurs, but being ig
nored by all parties, sits down, with
ghastly disappointment, and tries to look
as if he did not feel he was being looked
at; another, with Chadband hair, rises
for information, asking in a bland voice
a question so needless that some one on
the other side answers it, to save the
speaker's time, and Chadband, after
swaying uncertainly on his toes for an
instant, subsides so abruptly that he can
n.t at once recover the use of his limbs
sufficiently to steal away toward a cloak
room. Yet at almost any moment, ex
cept in the " morning hour " and on
"private bill day," an exciting and mas
terly discussion may begin, which
promptly fills the chairs and enchains
every listener. The general demeanor
of the house, too, is more business-like,
excepting for the amount of preoccupa
tion, than that of the house of commons.
Those who come to look on, with the im
aginations trained by history and the
oress, are grieved to go away without
seeing a single member spring at anoth
er's throat, or even call him a liar. The
homogeneity of the faces and persons
on the floor is another point for remark.
It is clear that Americans are Ameri
cans, however wide asunder their abodes
may be, and it occurs to one that if the
representatives of different sections
were to get hopelessly mixed up,
and changed about some day, it
would produce no incongruity, so
far as their outward appearance is con
cerned. To imagine these comfortable
gentlemen arrayed, in their frock-coats
of identical make, on opposite sides in
a civil war, or as the lawgivers of sepa
rate confederacies, would be grotesque,
if the reality of a few years ago had not
been so tragic. A few distinctions of
east and south and west may perhaps be
traced in the physiognomies, but indi
vidual peculiarities assert themselves
far more strongly. The man of the
people, with his indifferent neck-tie and
"well-met" manner; the snug, well-to-do
lawyer; the "elegant speaker;" the
richest members, with their partially
bald heads and faces seamed with fine
wrinkles, wearing a look of long resig
nation to the collection of dividends; or
the plethoric rosy faced man who gains
his point by private champagne rather
than public speech; and the gory antag
onist all these, and other types be
sides, may be sharply discriminated
without regard to state or geographical
lines.lt has grown to be the fashion to
say that congress accomplishes nothing
except to disturb trade, but if that
is so it is not due to idleness.
Accomplishing nothing was never
before sp laborious a task. House mem
bers are the busiest people in the coun
try, with their caucuses, their incessant
committee meetings, their speeches and
preparation, their dense correspondence
with constituents, and interviews with
visitors. The house, too, turns out a
vast amount of work, its committees
being efficient agencies for transacting
business. Every day you find in the
document room a fresh armful of newly
printed bills, many of which are trash,
to be sure, but harmless. The real and
great defect of the popular branch is its
fatal capacity for distorting, maiming,
or destroying good measure? matured
in committee, by unforeseen amend
ments carried in general debate. A few
laudable enactments, however, always
survive this general massacre of infant
bills, and we must remember the amend
ments often represent a wholesome
watchfulness against special class or
private legislation. Whatever the evils
of congress, finally, they are faithful re
flections of the avarice, ambition, or
low sense of honor in the communities
there represented; and people do not do
wisely to sneer .at their own exposed de
formity, without trying to remedy it by
cultivating morals more assiduously in
business and in political opinion.

A Paris Crime.
Pari Cor. Dublin Freeman.
The terrible affair of Rue Jacob at
the other side of the river continues to
excite considerable sensation. Nor is
the excitement lessened by the consider
ation that M. Grevy, president of the
republic, might have been one of the
victims. I have been at the house, No.
41, and gained full information. The
proprietor of the house is M. Poullain
Deladesse, the judicial magistrate of the
7th arondisement of Paris. His brother
Achilles occupied an apartment in the
house with his son, Dr. Andrew Poul
lain. The porter at the gate was a por
ter named Cubillier, who, with his wife,
slept in a little lodge commanding the
staircase. They have held the situation
for the past nine years. Cubillier was
an old gendarme of good character; but
latterly he took to drink, and M. Poul
lain Deladresse gave him notice to quit.
He was to have removed next week and
the expected expulsion gave him great
trouble of mind and exasperation.
Young Dr. Poullain, who was 26 years
old, had just obtained his doctorate de
gree with great credit, and in honor of
the event tlie family gave a dinner par
ty to several distinguished friends.
Among the guests was M. Grevy. but
fortunately, probably, for himself the
president of the republic rose from ta
ble early and left the house. Later in
the evening Dr. Poullain was escorting
down the staircase some of his depart
ing friends, when Cubillier, the porter,
who had armed himself with a double
barreled gun loaded with buckshot,
fired from the glass door of his little
room, which covered the descending
stairs, and aiming at the young doctor,
shot him in the side, inflicting a wound
of which he died in a few hours. While
the unfortunate.gentleman was writhing
in agony on the staircase, the other
guests coming down naturally gathered
around him," and no one seemed to
know whence the shot was discharged.
In fact, the first opinion was that it was
accidentally fired from a pistol in his
own pocket. But another shot was
immediately fired into the group of la
dies and gentlemen assembled around
the dying doctor. Mme. Droz, a beau
tiful young woman, the first cousin of
the victim, was shot in the arm and her
screams were terrible to hear. A re
spectable grocer and furnisher, who had
provided a portion of the feast, and was
present with his assistant to see that all
went well, was shot in the groin, and
still remains in danger of his life. And
in addition to M. Jacotin, his assistant,
a fine lad of 17, named Eugene Martin,
was shot in the leg, which was so shat
tered that amputation is necessary. The
assassin meanwhile barricaded himself
in his lodge. His wife seems to have
been in a state of great terror, and
could not remove the obstacles from the
door. But an entrance was soon effect
ed by the police. The sight inside was
almost as horrible as that in the hall
outside. Cubillier was lying; on the floor
in a pool of blood. He hau attempted
to commit suicide with a razor and a
sword cane, and was frightfully gashed
about the neck and breast. He aho
wounded himself in the head by tning
to beat his brains out with an empty
bottle. He as well as his male victims
was removed to the hospital of Li Cha
rite, and though yesterday he coutinued
still speechless, there are hopes of sav
ing his life.
Often articles of value in polished
steel, particularly knives, are left damp,
or water is unfortunately spilled upon
them. If this is discovered before the
rust has eaten through the plating or
polished surface, it can easily be removed
without defacing the article. But if they
have lain long untouched and the rust
has made its way through the surface,
they must be tafcen to some manufactory
where there is an emery-wheel used for
polishing, or some jeweler will be able to
finish them off as good as new. But in
the case of knives and forks they will
never be quite as strong, because m re
moving the rust they must be ground
down before repolishing, and will conse
quently be thinner.
A horse which is baldheaded all over,
so to speak, has lately been interesting
the citizens of Cincinnati. The beast
has no mane, and his tail consists only
of a hairless stump, and even inside the
ears no hair can be found.
Railroads, with long trains, trimmed
with rich dividends or bonuses, accord

Fees of Doctors.
The fee of doctors is an item that very many
persons are interested in just at present. We
believe the schedule fer visits is $3."00, which
would tax a man confined to his bed for a year
and in need of a daily visit, over $1,000 a year
for medical attendance alone ! And one sin
gle bottle of Hop Bitters taken in time would
save the $1,000 and all the year's sickness.
