I do wish the washee washee people of the United States would call a Na tional Convention of launders and laundresses, and adopt a uniform style of marking the linen that passes through their hands. 1 have sunerea much from the -diversity of talent dis-played-In the private marks of Anglo, German, Franco, Hibernian and Chinese-American laundries. I am a man not given to novelties. I like variety, but 1 want it to be the same kind of variety. I do not like to. go around the country lecturing in the guise of the tattooed man of Borneo. Now, when I put on mj" war paint and sarahed forth to seek whom I might gather the lecture committees in I had my scanty store of linen marked with the real initials of my own hon ored name that Mrs. O'Mahony's hus band might know whose shirt he was wearing to church, and Mile. Celeste might Know whose handkerchief siio stole, and that Wun Lung might be able to swear that the collars he offered for sale were given him by his deceased friend. Ram Jam Bang. But did these simple marks content the wash ladies and laundry gentlemen? Nay, not so. The first laundry gentleman marked everything I had with a big black X in indelible ink, saw only my excuse my "blushes hose. These dainty little fabrics of silh and worsted, with faint traces of cotton, he labeled by sewing a large, white patch about midships on Ihe after part of the veal of the saraa. I left all these marks on, hoping that in connection with the regularly or dained initials they would content the next washer gentleman. Bnt he wn a Trojan, and lie put ou a mark something like the Greek letters phi, ?si. This was in Philadelphia. At ittsburgh I had a round up of my linen at the Great Western Satin Gloss Laun dry, where the man with the indelible ink labeled everything XO, big and black, and sewed additional patches on my ahem! hoe. I next corralled my things at the establishment of Ping Ping in Columbus, O., who stitched in a fire cracker joke in red thread. We I and my herd of linen and manu script drifted slowly to the North west, and the wardrobe was watered at a French laundry in Kalamazoo and branded OIIA. At Minneapolis it went to the hotel laundry and came back bearing the new legend LT with a lozenge around it, and with red tags on my s cks. This was growing interest ing, and when a brand of blue ink came into the plot at Council BIuil' and was cast for XOA, I sat up half the night reading my things. I am fond of liter ature anyhow, and when the mental pabulum on my linen was reinforced at Concordia, Kan., by the addition of VZ in a black circle to the bill of fare, I began to look about for a pub lisher. At Kansas City Hang Hi worked in a crazv quilt stitch ou me, and at De catur, ill., the launder had a rub ber stamp, the design whereof was a valentine heart, inclosing the letters XLX. I do not know the meaning of the symbol unless it refers to mv age, .which certainly has nothing to do with the age of my wardrobe. This man sewed white tags on the ears of my st ck ngs, with the same design printed on them. At Terre Haute, Ind., they sewed lags on everything, from withers to hock, and at Valparaiso they stitched XYH on the entire harness, and at Upper Sandusky I got NYX inked on everything from collar to crupper. At Beaver Falls, Pa., a Chinese gentleman embroidered on all my tilings portions of a strange, we'rrd alphabet wherever he could find room for it, and at Uhrichsville, O., my linen was returned to me with a note staling that all articles must be plainly marked before they could bo received at that laundry. Now, I want to know if this is fairF It wasn't my fault that the other laun dries had used up all the available space on my raiment before I got to Uhrichs ville. I don't really enjoy this sort of thing. When I wake in the night and see my pallid shirt hanging over a chair back in the moonlight I am frightened, being a nervous man, thinking that Captain Co-teutenius. the tattooed man of the Antipodes, has got into my room. I appeal to the laundry men to adopt some uniform system. Let each free-born American citizen who amasses more than one shirt select Ids own brand, have it duly registered, pub lished in the official paper of the county in which he resides, and let it go at that. I don't like to have my friends tell me that for a man who dresses so quietly as I do, those figured shirts are in bad taste. Where are the reformersP Here is a crying evil that stalks up and down tins lair laud like ttte Augean stables, blighting the noonday with its midnight cry. and waiting for some strong hand to cut the Gordian knot of its labyrinthine mazes that like a Gor gon horror freezes our blood into stone with the burning breath of its iron heel.

Several San Antonio, Tex., gentle men were sitting in the back room of Horner's saloon taking their horns, and discussing matters and things in general, when the conversation drifted to the subject of friendship. Each one present contributed his opinion or told some story of some great sacrifice made by one friend Tor another, when Judge Simp-on spoke up and said: "Talk about Damon and Pythias. I know of my own knowledge of a. case where two 'friends made much greater sacrifices for each other than ever Damon and Pythias did." "Schoost "dell us all aboud it, Sclmdge," said George Horner, who was listening. "Hillman Brooks and Jim Danly were two students at tl! University of Kenttfcky," said Judge Simpson: "they were bosom friends, occupying one small room, very high up in the air, and very low rent. They were ex tremely poor; frequently they did not have enough to eat, and in cold weather they almost froze together. Brooks was "studying law. while Dauly was a medical student. One very cold day they were both hi the room at the same time. Danly was studying a medical book, Brooks in bed. He went there to keep warm. " 'I am in a terrible iix about this ex aminatiou to-morrow," said Danly. I have not been in the disseeting room for more than a month, and I know the committee will examine me about the muscles of the legs, and I have for gotten all I know about them. I wish I had a leg to dissect, so I could post myself.1 "" 'If that is all,1 said Brooks, ! can accommodate 3-011. A man who won't accommodate a friend is no man at all. Rather than seo you fail in your exam ination, I am willing to iua'kc any lit tle sacrifice,1 and, sticking out his leg from under the cover, he added: 'Just amputate that leg and dU.set it. Do jie the favor, win you?' "Dauly hesitated at first to take ad vantage of the liberal offer, but, upon Brooks insisting, he actually amputated his friend's leg. and having dressed tho stump he sat up all night dissecting the amputated limb. Next da,y the exam ination took place, and, thanks to Brooks' friendly ofler, Danly was able to pas it most creditably, and obtained his diploma. "Years passed away. Danly was a flourishing surgeon in Louisville. One day a mau with a wooden leg stumped into his office. It as Brooks, who in the meantime hail p.k?sed his examina tion and been admit"d to the bar. "'How are you c "lining on?' asked Dr. Danly. " 'Very poorTy,1 replied Brooks; 'I have not had a .'ingle case. If I could get just one case as a starter, I believe I would make a ;jreat criminal lawyer. If I could jut get. a chance to defend some prominent murderer I think my reputation would be made.' -'If that is all.1 replied Danly, 'I can accommodate you. A man who is not willing to make a few sacrifices foi his friends is no man at all. 1 shall ucver forget your kindi ess in allowing me to amputate your leg, and I am only too glad to havo an opportunity te reciprocate. I will eret vou a case rigl oil. " 'How are you going to do it?1 asked Brooks. 44 I will take a poker or hatchet, and I will go down stairs and murder my landlady. That will create a sensation, and j'ou will have an opportunity to vindicate me before the court.1 " 'Danly was as good as his word. He went down stairs and in a few min utes his visiter heard several dull, sick ening thuds. The murderer returned to his visitor and told hir.i how he had killed the old woman and robbed her of all her money. " 'You are so kind,1 said Brooks. 'Not at all,1 was the response, 'I will just go and deliver myself up to the authorities, and 3-011 can consider yourself retained as my lawyer.1 "Tho trial came oil" shortly after ward. When Brooks, the one-legged lawj-er appealed to the jury, nndtold how Dr. Danly was not instigated by improper motives in murdering the old woman, that he merely did it as a matter of accommodation to his old friend, there was not a dry eye in the court room. "The chivalrous nature of the Ken tucky jury was aroucd, and they 3-elled 'not guilty1 without leaving the box. "Dr. Danly after "Dot vill "do, Schudgc," interrupted George Horner, wiping a tear from his eye, "I sets em up," and he ordered re freshments for the crowd. Texas Hit ings. OCTOGENARIANS.

The Acta of 1830, 18ST and 18G9 The Text or the T-awn Regulating Removals. The general interest felt in the Feder al offices of the country will attract much interest to the statutes regulating re movals. In order that the3 may be generally understood, we subjoin the texts of the laws on the subject: By the act of May 15, 1820. "all Dis trict Atlornes, Collectors of Customs, naval odieers and Surveyors of th-Customs, nitty agents, receivers of public, moneys for lands. Registers'of the Land Olliees, paymasters in tho army, the Apothecary Cuicral, the Ass:s'ant Apothecaries General and the Commis sary General of purchases shall be ap pointed for the term of four years, but shall be removable from oflico at pleas ure." B3' the third section of the act to reg ulate the tenure of certain civ.l olliees, passed March 2, 1867, as amende! bj the third section of the supplement ary act of April 5, 18G9, it is provided "that the President shall have power to till all vacancies which may happen during the recess of the Senate b3 rea-on of dea.th, resignation or expiration of term ofof fice. b3 grauting commissions which shall expire at the end of the next ses sion thereafter, and if no appointment by the advice and consent of the Senate shall be made ti such office so vacant, or temporarily filled as aforesaid, during such next session of the Senate, such otlice shall remain in abe3ance without am salary, fees or emoluments attached thereto uutil the same shall be tilled by appointment thereto b.v and with the consent of the Senate, and during such time all the powers and duties belonging to such office shall be exercised b.v such other officer as may bv- law exercise such powers and duties in case of a vacancy in such office." The first section of the act of April o, 1869, (after repealing the first and iec ond sections of the act of 1867) provides "That every person holding any civil office to which he has been or inay be hereafter appointed b.v and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and who shall have become duly qualified to act therein, shall be entitled to hold such ollicc during the term for wU'eh he shall have been appointed, unless sooner removed by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, or b3 the ap pointment with like advice and consent of a successor in his place, except as herein otherwise provided." Another section of the act provides: "That during airy recess of the Senate the President is "hereby empowered at his discretion to suspend any civil ollicer appointed b.v and with the ad vice and consent of the Senate, except Judges of the United States courts, until the end of the next session of the Senate, aud to designate some suitable person, subject to be removed at his discretion, to perforin the duties of 6uch superseded officer in tho meantime; and such person so des ignated shall take the oaths siiid give the bonds required b3' law to be taken and given by the suspended ollicer. aud shall during the time he performs his duties be entitled to the salary and emoluments of such office, no part of which shall belong to the officer supersttlcd; and it shall be the dut" of the President within thirty das after the commencement of each session of the Senate, except for any olliee which in his opinion ought not to bo filled, to nominate persons to fill all vacancies in office which existed at tho meeting of the Senate, whether tem porarily filled or not, and also in the place of all officers suspended; and if the Senate, during such session, shall refuse to advise and consent to au an- pointment in the place of any suspended officer, then, and not otherwise, the President shall nominate another per son as soon as practicable to said ses sion of the Senate for said office.

Fresh proofs are reported to hare been discovered of the existence of an ancient civilization in Mexico. In So uora, about sixt3 miles southeast of the town of Madeline, some explorers have found in the heart of the virgin forest a pyramid which is 4,850 feet around in the base and 750 feet high that is to sa3 nearly double the size of the great P3'ramid of Cheops. From the base to the summit there is a roadwa3 on which vehicles can travel round the vast erection in a spiral. The outside walls are built ot granite blocks carefully tooled and bedded. A little further oil is a hillock, with hundreds of caverns and chambers cut in it, from five to fif teen feet wide and ten to fifteen feet long. The3 have no windows, and arc entered b3 the roof. The walls are oovered with hieroglyphics and curious pictures with the feet and hands of men. Stone utensils have also been found there. Who the builders of these ancient monuments were is still unset tled, but, according to El Liberal, the3 probably belonged to Mayos, who for merly Inhabited Sonora, and were a different race from the Indians, having blue eyes, a white skin, and blonde bain fc&o'tfft Sunday Etrald.

Tnni. too, Detroit has its full quota of slixsters and pett loggers, who ie-ort to all soils of schemes to earn a dollar. If 3011 will taxe a court docket and look through it3mi will find that about fort. law.ver.s have most of the business, if the law business were equally divided there would be enough tosuppoit all of the profession in the cit.v, but there are several who make twenty or thirty thousand dollars a year.1" "How do the rest live?" "In various wa.vs. Some have money to live on inher.ted from their fathers, some have rich wives, many combine their law practice with real estate and insurance business, but there are more than people suppose living from hand to mouth, hardly knowing where the bread for the next meal is coming from. There is anotLil class which, I am sorry to say, is not a small one and which is the disgrace of tlie profession. It is the class of dead-bei-.ts who in some inscrutable waj gain the title of attor-ne3'-at-la.v. The.v make it a business to squeeze a client as long as anything can be gotten from him on one pretext and another. At ono time the3' will want mone3 for officers' fees, but tho money never reaches the officers. At another time it is to pay for counsel or for -expenses.1 There are thousands of ways that are used to get mone3" from the unsuspecting client. Many of this class have no office. They sponge their stationary off the county, beat landlords out of board bills and borrow moue3 until iheir credit is gone. "Do law.vefs ever seek out business?" "CertainU the3 do. 1 know of law 3ers in this cit.v who make it a practice to hunt up persons injured on the rail roads and induce them to biing suits for damages. In these cases the most of the law3'ers' fes are often made con tingent on the success of the suit. A close watch is kept for even accident, for scandals, family disputes, or prop erty litigation, immediately t.iy prom ising case is developed the lawyer ap proaches the victim and generally suc ceeds in being retained." "How Is the business looked upon bv the profession?" "M3 own opinion is that no first-class law3er would ever stoop to any such proceeding. When one is in straight- ened circumstances, though, I can hardly wonder that such devices are resorted to." "Is this s.tstem pui'itied successfully in criminal "case-?" "Yes, an, much more easily than in civil ca-e-.. 1 don't know how itisnow, hut a fi-w .y.ir.s age I hae positive knowledge that there was a combina tion of certain law.ver.s with detec tives and other officers. The detective used to get a percentage of the fees in all the cases he would bring to the law3-er he had bargained with. It was ven easily managed. Criminals very frequcnth- consult the officers as to a suitable attorne3 to employ, and the advice of the officer is usually fol lowed." Detroit Post. " TIM." How Ho Was Sent to u Terrible Death Un der (lie Wheel-i. Thev saiil the train was an hour be hind time, and that information made us all feel put out and annoyed. Therefore, when a boy of about four teen, poor3 dressed and having a trampish look, came along the plat form askiiijr for financial aid to set him down to R on the train we were waiting for, it was but natural that one and all replied: "If vou want to get to R take the dirt road! You look as if 3011 were used to tramping!" He had no saucy word in reply. When he went and stood in the light of the window, and I saw how he shivered in the cold wind, and how worried aud anxious he seemed to be, I grew ashamed of U13 gruff words. I saw two or three others look him over as I had done, and I had no doubt that they fcl. as I did. I ought to have walked up to the bo- and said: "Here, my lad, if you really want to tro down toll , I'm willing to help you. Take this half-dollar. How hap pens it that a lad of 3'our age is cold, ragged, hungry and awa3 from home and friends?" But I didn't. I edged towards him, ashamed, aud yet not quite ready to acknowledge it to him, and all of a sudden he disappeared. I reasoned that he had gone up the hill to the vil lage, and that his pretending to want to go to R was all a trick to beat honest men. When 3011 reason that wa3 the heart grows bawl pretty fast, and you feel a bit revengeful. We talked the matter over four or five of us and the conclusion was that the bov would die on the gallows. Well, the train came along after a while, and it was moving away, after a brief stop, when a piercing shriek, followed by shouts aud calls, brought us to a stop. "Somebody's been run over!" called a voice, and in a moment the coaches were emptied. Yes, somebod3 had been run over had a leg cut off above the knee by one of the cruel wheels. Who was it? How did it happen? It was our bo3 the lad who was to end his davs 6n the Tallows. He had crept under the coach to steal rule on the trucks. There he was. having only a few minutes to live his face as white as the snow-banks his e3es roving from face to face his lips quivering as twent- men bent down and spoke words of S3'iupathy. "Who are you?" asked the conduc tor. "Tim." "You shouldn't have tried it?" "But I wanted to get to R so bad! I was up here to find work, but nobody would have me, and yesterday I heard that mother was dead!" "But anybod.v would have given j-ou sixty cents' to pay 3our fare." "Oh, no they 'wouldn't! I asked lots and lots of men, and they said I ought to be in jail. T I wanted Inerc we were the bait dozen 01 us who had repelled him with insult wrung his young heart still more sent him to his horrible death under the wheels! We dared not look into bis face we even shunned each other. If it could onby come to pass again if Heaven would but send him back to earth and let him stand before us as he did that winter's night but it was too late! Detroit Free Press.

In all the oil regions in Pennsylvania up to the discovery of the Tltom Creek district, in Butler County, great care had to be taken in torpedoing a newly drilled well so that the charge of nitro glycerine might not be too heavy. If it was, the sand rock would be so badly shattered that the well would be tilatl np, and laborious aud expensive work made necessary to clean it out before i: could be operated. A twentv-ouart torjiedo was about the average size used, and it was exploded in the shell. In the Thorn Creek region nitro-glycerine to the amount of two huudred pounds enough to destroy a citv is dumped in the well after it has been drilled far enough in the sand rock aud exploded. The sand is of such a nature that it does not run in and fill up the hole after the shot, no matter how he.tV3 it mav be. It is not practicable to make or hand!.; a two-hundred-quart torjM'do. so a new shell has been constructed ftom which after it has liecn lowered to the sand, its contents mav be dumped out in the hole. The shell Ls then hoisted to the surface, refilled with nitro-glycerine and relowered to the rock. This dangerous proceeding is repeated until there is enough nitro-glycerine in the well, when it is exploded, and the tubing can ihen be run down at once. This peculiarity of the Thom Creek sand facilitates operations greatly, but makes the business of well-shooting, bv which the lives of the Workmen are al ways put in jeopardy, tenfold more dangerous. .V. Y. Sun. FOR ANTI-VACCI NATION ISTS. A Few Vetn Showing: til Beneficial Ef fects ut Vaccination for Siuallus. While the deaths from smallpox last year throughout the entire German Em pire averaged one or two a week, and never exceeded four, there died in Prague, a city of about 270,000 inhabi tants, no fewer than 828 persons be tween January and June, besides 409 in the lat fonr mouths of 188J. Between October 1. 1883, and March 31. 1884. G cas4s nearly all children under live years of age. were admitted into the Polyclinic Hospital wards under Dr. Ganghofner. Of thce"2 were unvacci nated and 4 vaccinated. 2 of the latter, however, not until after infection. Of the 52.unvaeciuated 11 (21 per cent) died; of the vaccinated none. There is a strong local prejudice against vaccina tion, with which several medical men. we regret to say, sympathio. ISuenos Ayres is a city of about the same size namely. 287.000 inhabitants; and vacci nation' is not compulsory, and is unpop ular. Wh'lc the births in 1883 were close ou 11,000. the total number of vaccina tions and re-vaccinations vrus 8,643. The deaths from all causes were 8,248, or 28 per 1,000, and thoe from smallpox 1.487, or o per 1,000 of the population, and 18 per cent., or nearly one in fire, of the total deaths. In 'Prussia tho mortality since 187. has been from 0.34 to 3.C2 j.er 100.000 yearly; in Austria. 5.57 to 50.83. In Berlin, in 1882. it wu 0.43,. and in Vienna 108.29 per 100.000.
