A Germantown expressman put mule in
an old frame building and locked the door.
When he was ready to use the animal he
found that he had vanished. Subsequent de-
velopments proved that it had tumbled
through the rickety floor and was quietly
browsing on old shoe soles in the cellar. Thi.
mule had doubtless read of shipwrecked sal
lors chewing such provender, and he was on

A Radical Solo.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 13.-In the Lower
House of the Legislature to-day, Mr.. Head
lee, Republican member of the Senatorial
Bribery Committee, offered his minority re-
port, in which he says it appears from the
testimony that money was used, or attempt
ed to be used, to advance the interest of
Louis V. Bogy as candidate for United
States Senator. He then submits testimo-
ny, showing that Mr.. Stancil, a member of
the House, offered Senator Essex $500 to
vote for BOgy, and that one Edens endeav-
ored to persuade Mr.. Wade, q member of
the House to vote for Bogy by telling him
that any member could have his winters
expenses paid by doing so.
He further states that the testimony
shows that Thos. Doris brought to Jeffer-
son City $4,000 to be used 10 the interest
of some candidate for the Senate, and that
the testimony in part shows that portion
of that money was designed to advance the
claims of Bogy. He closes by drawing at
tention to the fact that the committee,
against his consent, closed the investigation
before he could obtain evidence clearly
showing by whom this money was furnish
ed, or for the advancement of whose elec-
ton it was intended or partly used.

LUNCH RUNNERS.

Seeing dilapidated-lookiDg individual
standing, the other day, in the coraer, and
being somewhat attracted by bis appear
ance, we asked who be was:
Ohp replied our friend, sthaL is that's
only lunch hummer"
"a lunch hummer what is that?''
"Why, don't you know? q lunch bum
mer is a fellow too lazy or proud to work,
or with some choronic obj action in thar d.
rection, and who lives around off of lunch
houses and saloons."
The party aforesaid, who had attract
ed our attention, was dressed in faded,
rusty suit Of black; the pants somewhlt too
short, overtopped a pair of shoes which had
been polished to the greatest degree. His
coat was long cut and glossy with frequent
brushiDgs and use, and buttoned up at the
throat, showed the frayed end Of collar,
not remarkably clean, and tied with black
band for a eravat; on his head was perched
q yellowish black beaver hat, and in his
mouth was a cigar. He was, I should
judge, between 45 and 90 years of age, and
stood in the sunlight with the most perfect
expression Of digniied humility l have ever
seen.
"You see," continued our friend, ssthey
are alike; all men about his age, who, hav-

make mistake in combing them so high
that nothing is seen beneath the bonnet be-
hind. This gives the head most ungainly
contour, and is very ugly viewed from the
rear. Care should always be taken to show
little, if ever so little, OF the ehignon be
low the bonne3 otherwise one cannot help
getting the impression that the wearer Is all
neck.
COMBINES.
Now that false hair in unlimited qaanti-
ties is no loIger the mode, It is well 10 con-
slider what can be done to avoid the neces-
sity Of using it at all. While very few VIC
men have hair enough to present respec<
table appearance unaided By false, they al
most all comb out and throw away guam
tity which, if saved, would be a
most valuable addition to their
chignon. Almost any kind of hair
work can be made from combiEgs,
provided they are long enough, and not too
much tangled. 4 new way of making
switches from combings is TO weave the
hair on three long, coarse threads, after the
manner Of Q deep fringe. When this is
done,- the threads are fastened together at
one end; the switch is held up and shaken
out, and has the appearance of being of
long, heaVy hair, though, in reality, the
longest hair may not be over fifteen
inches. CombiDgs may, in this way,
be transformed into really handsome
switches, at a trffing expense COM
pared with the price Of false ones; and
the owner has the satisfaction of feeling
that she is wearing only her own hair, al
ter all. Finger puff seach made on hair
pin, are very coavenieGt, and can be well
formed from cOmbings. They cost some
thing Ike 81 dozen, l think, and reqaire
from an ounce and half TO two ounces OF
hair. They are very useful to cover up
places where switches are put in, etc, and
may be put on with natuI al effect.
The bias Of hairdressing is almost wholly
in favor of fiat braids and soft twists ofhair,
following the shape Of the head. This is
sensi bic, convenient and becoming. The
passion for prematurely gray hair seems to
be increasing, and it is asserted that certain
society ladies here use artificial means to
blanch their locks. This is hardly credi-
bic, and one would think hardly necessary,
since the tendency Of the time is too early
Tayness in woman and early badness in
men.
