Mrs. Snapp on the MustacIe
Movement.

Our correspondent, Mrs. Snapp,
sends us an indignant letter on
what she terms "that most melan-
choly of themes-the mustache
movement"
"What is this movement ~ she
writes. 81 hardly know how to de-
fine it. It is combination NOUS
tache, big knuckles, preoccupation
of manner, and temporary imbecii-
ty. It is spell that falls upon near
ly every man whose upper lip OR
chin has escaped the razor for any
length of time beyond a week.
Sometimes it it is graphing move
ment (this is when the spirit is will
ing, but the hairs are short), some
times twirling, sometimes pulling,
sometimes stroking, sometimes
parting, and all times ridiculous.
If you enter a railroad car, you will
see the new movement at once.
Even as you look it at the narrow
doorway nearly every manly elbow
on nearly all the outer seats along
the line will be giving unmistakable
evidence that meustache or beard
can never for an instant be forgot
ten by the man behind it. This is
not an extravagant statement. 1
have been there to see. Once I
counted nine gentlemen seated opo-
site me in city hofse-car who, one
and all, were engaged in this mod
ern movement. Poor fellows.
They didn't look at all like the an
cient Nervii who were not allowed
to remove their beard until they had
killed their man. They looked
rather as if to be able to kill time
were the limit. of their sanguinary
aspirations There they sat all bu-
silly engaged in the different forms
of twirling, graphing, pulling and
combing. One iron hearted youth
was industriously striving to tuck
away the ends of q Challes-the First
looking affair between his resolute
upper and lower lips. He had nearly
succeeded when the conductor came
through to collect his fares. Oh!
what relief that was! The man as
he passed along, seemed to me like
the good angel of the entire nine.
And then, sitting there in my quiet
way, began to wonder why this
thing should be. In vain I invoked
De Quincey's eclectic aptitude for
neutrality-suspicious. more
/ pondereds the less satisfied 4 be-
came, and the more my soul was fill
ed with reasons why it shouldn't be.
o men-husbands, brothers, fathers,
sons, lovers! if you only knew how
senseless thing this movement is!
If you only for moment could see
yourselves as we women see you,
never again would fall victims to it.
If your moustaehe annoys you, if it
is in your way, if it occupies all
your thoughts, if it persists in grow
ing in one direction while your man
ly win requires that it shall take
another-if, in short, you can't
possibly let it alone, be warned be-
fore it is to late. Shave it off!
Though your very soul sicken at
the thought, off with it! Though
fair to see 10 aoGE5

JOHNNY SHR1MPs' SCHOOL CoMPo-
s1TIoN.-Politics-Politics is a'hard
word; don't know just what it
means. I guess it is a sort of sick
ness. People who have this sick
ness meet together in the evening
and howl and talk. Pa has 'em bad
He goes out five nights in the week
and doesn't stay at home the other
night. He has them so bad that he
can't walk straight when he comes
home.
I used to think politics was some
thing good to eat. Ma says she
thinks it is something good to drink.
1 went to meeting where they
had politics bad. A man got up
and called another man who want
there all sorts of names. He said
he belonged to the other party, he
said the country was going to ruin
and we should all be ground to pow
der in the crash. told Ma thought
he was talking about earthquakes !;
earthquakes was in my last geogra
ply lesson. I don't like geography
much. Bill Brown calls it goggrefee.
But goggerfee is a good deal better
than politics. o5 sars..at aa.
Pa says when grow up I will
understand politics. But I don't
like the taste of it, except Ma makes
it up into eggnog. When I'm a
man I mean to have COW. and go
to the theater, and be q policeman,
and keep a candy store, and have
balloon. and dance on the tight rope,
and be a clown like Humpty Dumpty,
and 60 to church once a year, and
to Central Park twice q week, and in
a swimming three times every day.
But don't want to- have any more
politics.

ff HE CAPlIOL. Al w UASHINGTON.--
Yet whoever may find much to
blame in the body of the building,
the architects have their full need
of praise in the lovliness and gran
dure of the dome. It is something un-
surpassed; it springs into the sky
us lightly as bubble-as resplend-
ly; it rests there as easily as a cloud
it seems, as it should, to be only a
part of its airy surroundings. Art
could do no more for its construc-
ton. That its effect is sadly i'm
paired by the bronze Colossus,
which, instead of merely accentua
ting it as final would do. crowds
it down to earth, is no fault of the
dome pure and simple.
tits due to the avarice which first
planted the city in swamp that the
Capitol does not rear its white mag
nificence on some hill crowning a
campagna vast as Rome's; and yet,
though erected on comparatively
low ground, go where you will, for
miles on miles, that, dome ha' nts
and follows you; nowras you .e it
from the heights of Arlington
while you stand in the midst of. the
acres of graves there and picture
the terrible moment when some
trumpet shall call all this army of
ghosts from their misunderstanding
like a guardian genius still overlook
ing these white head-stones that
stretch away across the rolling land
on every side, like the crests OF
mighty and melancholy waves; now
as you cease treading down the pur
pie hiacinths in the grass, and wan
dering under the magnolia trees.
and between the breast-bigh hedges
Of fragrant box at Mount Vernon
and, turning the bend of the river
almost twenty miles away, meet its
great shadow resting like a film
upon the air, opening slowly on the
gaze like vision, with its phantom
like length of lustrous column
and setting of wind tossed
greenery. When you behold it
thus remote it seems like a
dream of the past-too beautiful a
thing for the common use Of daily
life; only men in sweeping Grecian
raiment and phylactered purple
should move slow and meditative
through It's halls-never these
hurrying black beetles, these rough
garments and rude gestures
Of the modern generations.-
1t is possibly for some such
reason that in the beginning the Cap
itol turned its back upon the town,
rather than because the family that
owned the land in front set too high
a price upon their property and
drove purchasers to lots in the back
ground, which after all, Is perhaps
as well, as otherwise we might not
have the long vista Of the Avenue
closed at the end by these walls
rising on their grassy terraces, lift
ing their shining colonnades over
the treetops, and sending the dome
soaring upward into heaven.-HAR-
