Influence Of Neatness.

II you see a man going about persist
emily untidy-neglectful Of such matters
as his boots, his nails and his linen-you
may be certain that sooner or later he
will become a sloucher, and that his
affairs will be always more or less mud
died. Thus II will be unsatisfactory to
have dealings with him either in his
business or domestic capacity. BE will
be continually forgetting, he will be, ever.
Iastingly putting of what he ought to do
and ending often by not doing the same
at all or until too late. Thus It Is per-
tectly correct and reliable instinct which
leads people to judge men by their ap-
pearance. We are not advocates Of os-
tentatious splendor, but we would have
men remember that they often allow
those who really are their interiors
in capacity TO pass them In the
race OF life, and solely because they
are careless and Indifferent in
the ways which we have indicated. Let
conspicuous offenders against good taste
realize that the struggle for existence Is
now peculiarly keen, and that, other
things being equal, he who takes pains
about himself In small matters Is certain
to outstrip the individual who does not.
The former will often DO favorably re-
ceiyed where the latter is received with
courtesy. OF course, it is possible to run
from one extreme to another. 1t must,
however be obvious, that neatness does
not involve splendor, nor an enhanced
expenditure, both Of which things should,
by individuals OF moderate means, be
avoided. It is quite possible that care
and frugality can go hand in hand-in.
deed many meanly dressed people demon
strate this beyond doubt. In word,
slovenhness involves extravaganza and
discredit, neatness. economy and credit.
We're the people Of the world not foolish,
II would be unnecessary to state such a
seli.evident fact.

Proceedings Of Congress.

The proceedings of Congress during
the past week have not been Of very
interesting character TO the general
reader. In the Senate the chief SUBJ
ject of discussion was the bill for the
payment Of the interest on the 1865
bonds Of the District of Columbia.
which was continued from day to day
until Thursday. when, Notwithstanding
the earnest opposition Of the Democrats
and Conservative Republicans, it was
passed. Senator Bayard made strong
speech against the bill on Tuesday. On
Monday Mr.. Morton wanted to take up
his Mississippi resolutions and continue
bis courage" TRADE. but did more
sensible thing in giving away to Mr..
Cameron. of Pennsylvania. TO allow
him to call up the Centennial Appro-
priation bill. A bill to remove the po-
litical disabilities of D. T. Chandler, Of
Baltimore. was reported favorably, as
was also the concurrent resolution pro-
posing common standard of money
for Great Britain and the Urited
States. A bill was reported to restore
to the pension rolls soldiers Of the war
of 1912 whose names had been stricken
of for disloyalty during the late inter-
State war. In the debate on the West
Point Academy Appropriation bill, a
personal set-to between S. S. Cox, Of
New York, and Hale, Of Maine, in
which such manly and dignifed ex-
pfessions as ..Blaine's little bub" ap-
piled to the Republican by the Demo-
crat, and ..Shoo Fly" to the latter by
tho former, made things lively for
a while. The bill was finally passed
fixing the pay Of cadets at $40. with
out ratious. A proposed amendment
to the Constitution making the Presi-
Dental term of Office six years and the
holder ineligible to a second term. was
taken up. debated and voted down as
were also several amendments to it.
The Diplomatic Appropriation bill was
taken up. and the Democrats tried to
make reductions in the different por-
tions of it. which we're, as usual, op-
posed by the Republicans.

that the United States were still pay.
ing tribute to the amount Of $40. 900 Il
the Aarbary States. This was most
positively denied by many other pa
pcrs. II is now said, however, and
the Information is professedly obtained
direct from the Treasury department.
that though the tribute is no longer
paid, the appropriation. nominally for
that purpose, is still kept up, No"
the question comes, what is done with
the money?
