Wo print m apocryphal sort Of story IN onr
Washington dispatches this morning, in
which 3lr. F1snpAcK, formerly proprietor Of
the st. Louis Democrat, and Messra koKEE
& HousEn, formerly OF the 0lo5e and now
proprietors Of tile consolidated paper, are the
heroes, It is complicated tale, and will
require considerable unravelng before it Gun
bc fully understood OF Ia entitled to credeuce.
It would intimate TINT Mr.. FIBupAcK used his
knowledge Of tho whisky frauds, and tho
nlleeed connection Of tho GloJe people there
with, to force the hitler to buy out the
Democrat, and that mn agreement was
entered into between F1suBAoK on the one
side, and MoKEE l. IIousEH on tho other, that
certain whisky firms should not be seized.
This agreement, the story goes, was deposit
cd as q sort Of collaternl with d firm which
advanced money toward the purchase Of
whisky, the profits Of Which were to contrib
ute to the purchase-monoy Of the Democrat.
But the firm holding this unofficial guarantee
| of protection was seized nevertheless, and 60
the comrnct is Raid to have come out. Per
contra, the District Attorney ut st. Louis tel.
egrnphs Secretary Bn1sTow that there is M
evidence before tho Grand Jury duplicating
Mr.. FIsHnAcK, and Messrs. MCKEE j. HousEs
announce in their paper TINT, if tho Grand
Jury can find anything against them, they
should proceed to indict. II both parties t.

bfs. Jons jar, ex-Minister to Vienna, has
addresssed very long, verbose letter to tho
Now York Tribune, In which he recommends
tho poatponemcnt Of tho Exposition at Phil
adelphia for another year. He conceivea TINT
the Centennial can DO celebrated as tho En-
gish celebrate tho Queens birthday, on
any day they may fix near tho timo Of tho
anniversary; and that, aa the struggle for
American Independence lasted from 1776 to
1888, amy time within q corresponding period
would be entirely appropriate. He rocom-
mends postponement because he fears, from,
what be can learn, that the arrangements for
the Exposition will be far from COM
plste At the time Of tho proposed OPEN
ing. Ho also holds that the national
honor Is at atako, aimee tho affair has
taken on an international character
aud importance BY reason Of the invitations
extended TO foreign Governments. He saya
that he has found remarkable Indifference
to the enterprise among the people at large,
who are inclined TO regard it more as local
than - national event; aud, with the OK
perience Of the Vienna failure before him, ht
ADVISES postponement Of tho opening and I
mora comprehensive plan Of operations.

We havo never known 80 sad an illustration
Of the crushing effect Of political aooundrel-
ism upon community as may DO found In
tho present abject condition Of the city Of
New Orleans. Before tie War 1t was ono Of
the wealthiest, u,oat picturesque, prosperous,
aud thriving cities In tho world. The War
struck it a hard blow, but 1t was ono Of the
first cities to revive, md was coon on the high
road to prosperity. Even ss late as 1868 its
commerce was important, rents were good,
property ruled at high rates, the city was
moasurab1y free from debt, and there was no
reason why the promise Of full resumption
Of ante-War progress should not be roalizcd.
It WINS about this time New Orleans fell
prey to political rapacity. It began to
be plundered on all sides. It always
had to sustain about one-half the excessive
load Of debt put upon the State Of Louisiana,
but It Ind been hitherto kept free from local
debt by provision Of its charter which pro-
hibited the issue OF any municipal bill Of
credit until the anne Ind besn submitted to
aud ratified by the people. tlast, however,
| as the pressing financial necessities OF the
corporation grew on account of the unIusts-
fable extravaganza aud reckless expenditures,
this organic prohibition was ignored. and
| warrants and bonds Of various descriptions
were put upon the market to satisfy clamor-
| Ing creditors. Once begun, this SUSTAIN VIVA
too easy relief 10 be kept In check, aud It
| was but short time before the city WAS
required to pay interest on debt Of $780,
p4y0, 100, In addition to the excessive demands
for the State Government.
It wsa sttbis time that systom OF taxation,
or rather extortion. was inaugurated which
has rapidly hurried New Orleans into muaici.
pal bankruptcy, social poverty. and commeF'
cial despair. The taxpayers, OF course, be-
gan to buy up city scrip aud turn It into the
1reasusy In payment Of city taxes. The Leg
Islature put stop to this in order 10 furnish
nsv tunds for plundsr. Then the city Wal
compelled to pay e1oroitant prices for every
thing It required, sinco payment was madt
only in depreciatsd ahinplasters which wert
in syerybody'u hands, After the valuation o1
city property had been Increased for taxable
I purposes far beyond what 1t would Asu fo'
In cash, and had baen assessed far beyone

embodied in their report certain matters
which hnvo not yet boon mnde public. These

PEEsONAL ArrEARANCE.-On person
nj appearance much of our success in
life depends. There have been many
instances where the soul shining
through i MANNED or deiormed body,
has conquered the adverse circum-
stances. This is far easier TO do than
20 overcome an offensive or di>agreea-
bic trick Of behavior, for society will
accord It's pity and sympathy TO natu-
Yal defects, but for acquired faults it
only reserves lis disgust. Every read
or will call to mind some person to-
ward whom he or She has felt a re-
pugnance almost uncomfortable. merely
from an offensive habit such one
has formcd-SometimeS a mere turn
OF the lip, a cast Of the eye, or pecu-
lar infection of the voice. Often
practice has been formed of clearing
the throat or splitting protusely about,
or picking the ears or some other vul-
gar habit These things will create a
diStaste for such persons i'll faStidi-
Gus mind, and deny it as we may, or
call it "sqgcamish," or silly" we
are all of us more or less taS,idiouS.
1t is the duty Of every person TO make
himself agreeable TO others. Most of
these peculiaritjeS Of manner which
create aversion are spontaneous in
their origin, but become so habitual
that We are unconscious of them.
Many Of them were formed in child
hood, when habits are easily removed
in after years. While we cannot like
everybody, or be loved by everybody
in return, still We can take especial
care that We DO not make ourselves
personally ohen>ilyes by habits ami
ways that shock the delicate fastidi-
business Of those around Us.
