THE WORK OF RErRENcHMESr.
Yearly Saving Of $500. 900 in the Expense
Of Collecting tho Revenue.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The Commission
or OF Internal Revenue to-day told the House
Appropriation Committee that while he did not
believe the force OF collectors OF inter nal revenue
could be reduced from 1GU to 100 without impair
ing tue emclency Of the service, yet he did
po1eve tho number could still be reduced,
and that while be had recently recon-
mended reduction, the President opposed
10. In answer to a question, he said
that he would encourage reductions, but
had been told that the political pressure would
be so great that the President would not ap-
prove II. 1t was suggested that the Appropria-
tion Committee was not under any such poltl-
cal pressure as would prevent them from max
Ing the necessary retrenchment. He then sug-
eested that subcommittee should visit his
bureau and examine all the details, so that the
proposed reduction should be brought about
with harmony between the committee and the
bureau. Messrs Wells, Atkins, and Foster OF
Ohio. were named as tho subcommittee, and
them.
ors will be made TO 100 The President, under a
former law, had the discretion to reduce IL to
eighty. When the law abolehing tho assessors
was enacted, the clause for the reduction Of col
lectors was repealed, and a new discretion for
consolidation OF districts substituted therefor.
Inc committee will act according to It's convic-
tion as to the safe side. This reduction. with
the expense Of the ten supervisors which were
recommended to be abolished by the Commits
sioner at former meeting, will reduce the ex-
penditure OF collecting the revenue $3J00OO a
year. This Is Independent OF further reduc-
tipn contemplated OF deputy collectors. Raugers,
storekeepers, and other contingent and mlscel-

the reduction, when I'm lily completed for this

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1i.-Judge Porter, in con-
euding his argument against the admission Of
ne kilograms in the Babcock trial. occupied
nearly all the morning session TO-DAY. His CON
illusions were that they were writings, and
whether proved 10 he what they purported to
be In origin and destination, It was stll a ques-
tion Of law whether they could be admitted as
evidence. He said he did not by any means ad-
mil, however, that the proof and identification
had been shown. TO the great majority Of these
kilograms there were produced no answers at
all. Such were merely hearsay, merely letters
relating to facts, and making Inquiries, which
did not convey the slightest hlnt OF conspira-
cy; but nons Of these, whatever might be shown
OF them, whatever construction mieht be Dut
upon them, were admissible as testimony, un-
I'll by intrinsic evidence IL had been established
that Gen. BaDcook had knowledge Of the exist
ence Of conspiracy; that must first be proven,
and IL mad not been proven.

Faces.

Physiognomy, like phrenology and
graphiOlogy (the art of reading ones
character from ones handwriting, is very
attractive to a novice, but experience
shows it is not to be relied on implicitly.
Faces, like other appearances, are very
apt to be deceitful.
Jeffries, the infamous judge of the reign
of Charles H., who seemed, while sitting
on the bench, to have no element of pity
in his nature, had remarkably sweet and
amiable countenance. 1t is almost i'm
possible to believe that he can have sat
for the portrait which goes by his name.
A certain picture was for long time
supposed to be portrait of Addison, the
famous writer of Queen Anne's time, and
author of Sir Roger de Coverly. 1t was
thought to he a fair representation of his
character, but was afterwards found to
be the likeness of a man altogether differ
ent
LaEater, one of the chief advocates of
physfognomy, was often deceived in his
estimate of people. Never more so than
in the case of an English lord. Judging
from his noble features, he pronounced
him to be man of great ability. The
fact, however, was that this lord was no.
toriOus for his stupidity.
1t is true that correct judgments are
frequently formed of persons at first sight,
Indeed, these impressions are very apt TO
be ultimately verified. Some characters
we read at once, others we are long
time in deciphering. And this is the
meaning of the saying, "Know me in an
hour, or know me in ten years" But
these rapid estimates are drawn not mere
ly from the face, but from the whole ap-
pearance, the dress and manners. A gen
tleman sat opposite young lady in car,
and inferred from her face that she was of
a most sweet and lovely disposition. But
presently he heard her speak petulantly
to a lady at her side, and straightway re-
versed his decision.
