How THEY SHAVE IN CHlNA.-A fellow
who has been shaved in China says that his
barber first stropped the razor on his leg aud
then did the shaving without any ather. The
customer demonstrated, but was told that the
lather was entirely useless, and had tendency
to make the hair stiff and tough, and was
therefore, never used by persons who had any
knowledge of the face aud its appeudages
After the beard had been taken otf-and it
was done iu very short tme-the barber
took long, sharp, ueede-shaped spoon, and
began to explore his customers ears. He
brought up from numerous little crcviccs bits
of wax and dirt, that had been accumulating
cipce his childhood The barber suddenly
twisted bis subjects ueck to Que side in such
manner that it cracked as if the verteblr had
been dislocated
Hold on" shouted the party, alarmed for
the safety of his peck.
IAN right" replied the tonsor, "me no
hurt you" and he continued to jerk and
twist the neck until it was as timber as an old
ladys dish-rag He then fell to beating the
back: breast, arms, and sides with his fists;
then he pummeed the muscles until they
fairly glowed with the beating they received
He then dashed bucket of cold water over
his man. dried his skin with towels and de-
cared that his work was dooe, Price, two
cents.

The Appofntmept of Mr. Har,

WASHINGTON. ID. C., August 9th, 1874.
Editor Of the Erenin9 Stdr:-In your issue of
yesterday you have savage attack against Mr..
A. Hart. Justice demands that the public
should know who Is responsible for his appoint
ment.
at the time the trustees were changed | was
absent. Yesterday, in obedience to q general
desire on the part of the German-Americans of
this city, and no doubt q large number of
Americans, wrote letter to Governor Den
nison, calling his attention to the fact that on
the late board there had been three German
Americans, and now not one; that this action
had been severely condemned, and construed
not only here, but abroad, as hostile; that de-
sired no reappointmeDt, but that the other two
gentlemen, DIR. Roeser and Mr.. Hart, ought to
be reappointed, not only because they were de-
serving, but also as a recognition OF our Ger
man citizens. Subsequently had an inter-
view with Messrs. DennisOn and Ketcbum in
which they fully recognized the claim, and at
at once redppOinted Mr.. Hart, promising To re-
member in future appointments this element of
our citizens. MIR. Hart knew nothing OF this
until handed him his appointment, and no one
Is TO be held responsible except your humble
servant.
Ihsve known Mr.. Hart for years. For nea rly
eight years we were partners in business, and
while be has made, as human being, errors of
the mead at times, no one can SUCCESSFULLY state
that be IS any Of those things you charge him
with. The whole trouble with him Is, that he
has devoted too mach time and money to the
schools, not only in detriment OF health, FAINT
ly, but even his business, and no one dare saw
that he has not been the most eff cient, energetic
falthful trustee the schools have ever had
did not then, nor do i now, justify the article
which he wrote some two months ago in THR
STAR; but IL on that solely he Is to be judg ed
who is to 20 unwhipt? And outside of that
what can Won say against his character az q man
or citizen? i am not to be led into a discussion
as to the merits Of the recent change, as to
whether other appointments have been Gen
regle." But one thing I will do: defend the
character OF At friend, and particularly one,
whom not only i, but Superintendent Wilson,
deems one OF the best men ever on the School
Board, and who specially recommended him.
