Policeman Badger, Of the Tenth sta
ton, had a bit of experience last win.
ter which he is not fond of talking
about. 1t was past midnight as he was
leisurly pursuing his boat through Jes-
sup street, and as he came opposite to
Dayton & Fogg's iewelry store he OBJ
served CLEANS Of . light through the
chinks Of the shutters, and raped at the
door.

voice within.

"Well,--it's only me.--It's all right.
Kind o. chilly out, isn't it?"
"Yes.u
"Thought 50. ! was just fixing tho
fre.-Good-night."
Badger said goodnight" i" and pur-
sued his way.
An hour afterward Badger passed
through Jessup street again, and again
he saw the light in the jewelry store. it
didn't look right, and he banged at the
door loudly.
"Halloo" cried the voice within.

The door was opened, and Policeman
Badger entered, and found the inmate
to be very gentlemanly looking man,
in linen duster.
"Come right up to The stove, police
man. Excuse me moment"
The man took the ash-pan from the
bottom of the stove, and carried it down
cellar and emptied it, and when he had
returned and wiped his hands, he said
with smile:
"Chilly night, isn't it?"
"Yes.n

And the man in the duster produced
a black bottle and tumbler.
Policeman Badger partook, and hay

Mental Power in Men and women.

Mental Power IN Men and Women.
REGARDING this oft-discus5ed qu.s-
ton, Professor Maud slcy says: It has
been affirmed by some philosophers
that there is no essential difference be-
tween the mind of woman and that
of a man and that If a girl Were sub
ected to the same education as q boy
she would resemble him in tastes, feel
ings, pursuits, and powers. To my
mind il would not be one whit moro
absurd to affirm that the antlcra OF the
stag, the human beard, and the cocks
comb are effects of education or That
by putting girl TO the same education
as a boy She could be seXually trans
formed into one. The physical ard
mental differences between the sCV'S
| intimate themselves very early i'm life,
and declare themselves most distinctly
ut puberty. If the person is hcrmaph-
rodite, the mental character like the
physical, participates equally in that Of
both sexes. If either sex Is mutilgtri,
| ii approaches in character the opposite
sex. While woman preserves her sex,
She will necessarily be feebler than
man, and, having her special bodily
and mental character, will have, TO
q certain extent, her own sphere of
activity, When she has pretty we'll
| diVested herself Of her sex, she may
| then take his ground and do his work;
but she will have lost her feminine
| attractions, aud probably also her chief
| feminine functions. Sarbncr'S for AU-

Mr.. James Brooks took out the American
eagle yesterday and caused him to lap his wings
and soar in the most approved manner over
the proposition TO subsidise the steamship line
ON the Pacific which had the honor TO carry
HIM 10 Japan not long ago. Where so much
feIvent patriotism is displayed so far away from
the 9Th of July, it seems TO be both disloyal and
irreveTent TO smile; but really the explosion of
fireworks l. out OF all proportion TO the occa-
sion. The case as IL stands seems to be about
this: Under existing laws, framed for the special
teneft and protection of a few manufacturers

eign construction. To remedy this acknowl-
edged evil Il is now proposed, not to repeal the
obnoxious laws, but to take few millions ont

lean ship owners TO enable them to overcome
Tie obstacles imposed as above,
Banning a candle at both ends is considered
very lad economy by housekeepers, but the
same principle when applied 10 national affairs
seems 10 lie all ght in the minds Of some OF our
law makers. The people. however, are begin

out II they keep up this costly farce much lon

Manifestly the best solution of the railway
problem in Washington is the erection OF
grand union depot in some suitable locality.
Elsewhere the interests of the railway compa-
MES themselves, we'll a. of the public, are
served in this way, they would be here no
doubt. In his efforts in this behalf IL thew are
honest and earnest, Mr. Garrett will therefore
have the good wishes and influence of nearly
everybody interested in the growth and welfare
OF Washington. But the trouble in the case lies
~ the " ant of confidence in Mr.. CARROTS SINGER.
n.y. As protector of enterprises for the benefit of
the public he il a great success, hut as acOnsum-
mitoT he Is a sad failure,-One of the worst, in
fact, that the country can show. On this ae-
count there is good ground for fearing that his
proposition to put up such depot here is only
intended as foil to the PENNSYLVANIA railroad.
and that if he is able to carry that point before
the District committee to morrow he will never
build ii, or at least not Tor the next half CEN
fury. The people here have lost confidence in
Dir. CARROTS promises. The more he pledges
the less he does, so tar, at least, as Washington
l. concerned. Ii Congress thinks favOrably OF
his plan let it insis; that he shall carry il out
within the next sin months. That is ample
time. and il he means business he will gladly
accept that condition and give security for its
fulfiineRt. II he does not, let him get out of
the way and allow Us to get such relief as we
can from other quarters. He has been the Old
Man OF the Sea for this Community quite long
enough.

The census report brings to lghtsome curious
facts in relation to journalism in the United
States. There are 5,si5 newspapers and peri
odicals published in the country, one for about
every 800 OF population. The average circu-
lstion il 3, $50. 1t may be noticed that the six
sporting papers print % 800 copies. which gives
them the largest average circulation-I2,25 80
but those who depfecste that state of things
will he consoled to know that the religious
journals come next on the list, with an average
circulation OF ll7o6, and an aggregate OF
4,74yS5s. The "literary" come next, with an
average circulation of s,sOs; then the agricul-
tursl press, with an average of s,O72; and lastly
the political papers, which have the lowest
average circulation-2,0 2s-a fact due to the
large number OF weekly rural sheets with few
hundred subscribers.

dicted the denomination and reelection of Pre-

because he happened to be the standard bearer
