Amen dment Wan ed.

oring the plan of the joint committee, as q basis
for statement of the electoral question, says that
he and others of his party will insist on amend-
ment before giving to it their support. The
amendment is in the direction of the Judicial feat
ure of the bill. The democratic caucus to-mor-
row will further consult upon the subject, and
probably arrive at q conclusion as to the course
they will pursue. There are many more members
of both parties who do not give the bill their un
qualified approval, and there are members who I'M
hesitatingly approve it. All want the subject fully
discussed before final action. The general i'm
preston is that both houses will agree upon some
plan for settling III questions connected with the
electoral vote.

Prince Hassan and His Gloves.

| Wehaye from correspondents curious
bit of information about the young Com
mander-in-Chief of the Egyptian con-
tingent on the Danube Though but "a
years old, Prince Hassan, son of the
Khedive, is an experienced soldier, and
has already had his share of haps and
mishaps. The young Prince received
his military education at Woolwich and
Berlin, after which he occupied the Of
| flee of Minister of War to his father.
During the late war with Abyssinia he
was seriously wounded and made pris-
oner. Although treated with great
consideration, King John, ''to punish
him." as he expressed it, ''for fighting
against Christians" ordered that large
cross should be tattooed on the back of
each of the Princes hands. This was
done; and when his wounds were healed
the young officer was released and re-
turned to Cairo. Arrived at home,
Prince Hassan consulted the best Euro
pean as well as native physicians and
chemists, and Copt soothsayers, prom
Using large sum to any one who should
rid him of these mementoes of the Abys-
sinian King. Advice was freely offered
and experiments tried. The Prince I'M
derwent much suffering, but all in vain
the Christian crosses were indelible.
In despair he finally resorted to Der
wish for advice, and the holy man COM
municated remedy which at least had
the merit of being undeniably eificacious.
''Chop off both thy hands, he said to
the Prince; ''better live without hands
than wear for ever these signs of the in
fidel giaours!" But Hassan relished it
but little, and so remains to this day
tattooed with the hateful symbols. This
is why no one ever sees him without
gloves.-New York World.

Death.Mask Of Napoleon Bonaparte.

Wewere shown, yesterday, a death
mask of the great Napoleon. Need any
one be told what death-mask is? Yet
lest any reader should misapprehend OF
undervalue such relic il will be well
enough to briefly describe the process
by which it is taken. The face is smear
ed with oil and then overlaid with a thin
paste of plaster of Paris, which is thick
ened gradually by laying on layer after
layer until a heavy mass of the material
is accumulated. The plaster soon
''sets," and when that takes place the
mask is removed. We have now a mat
rix or hollow impression of the face. but
in order TO take fac smile or - coun-
terfeit presentment another process is
necessary. The shell or mask is filled
with the plaster, which, when removed,
gives the features to the very exactness
of hair.
The death-mask of Napoleon is a
"proof,n but very fine one, having
been taken from the original one in Par
is many years ago. 1t shows the head
resting on Il cushion, with caul thrown
back to disclose the features. The be-
holder is first struck by the massiyeness
ofthe head, the width OF the forehead and
the size and symmetry of the bony
structure. The profile is handsome and
bold, the nose being prominent and
aquiline. The lips are parted, showing
the regular teeth. The mouth, accord
ing to the mask, was straight, the upper
lip short but overlining the lower lip,
which is delicatelv nodded and curyino

Bouncing Railway Passengers.

The right to eject passengers from
cars for non-payment of fares has been
brought before the supreme court of
Hamilton and Dayton Railroad Com
pany was interested. The rates of fare
fixed by the company, and which, by its
established rules, it was made the duty
of the conductor to demand, were higher
than those allowed by law. The plain
tiff rendered what he claimed to be, and
what was ultimately held to be, the le-
gal rates, and, upon refusal to pay more,
was elected from the car, but without
any rudeness or unnecessary violence.
1t also appeared that the plaintiff. mt the
time he took passage, knew the estab-
lished rates, and expected to be elected
from the cars, intending to bring an
action for such election, in order to test
the right of the company to charge the
established rates. 1t was held that the
plaintiff was only entitled compensatory
damages, and that it was competent for
the company, for the purpose of miti-
eating damages, or preventing the re-
cOvery of exemplary damages, to give
in evidanee subsequent declarations of
the plaintiff, tending to prove that his
object in taking passage on the cars was
to make money by bringing suits against
the company for demanding or receiv-
ing their established rates of fare If
generally sustained by the courts of all
States, this decision will tend to check
the operations of litigious persons who
seek 10 derive pecuniary advantages, ex-
cept in instances where serious personal
or pecuniary damages have been sus-
tanned. In this case the true remedy
would have been prosecution of the
company for violating the law limiting
the fare, and not an invitation to fur
Their aggression.

A Chinese Camp-Meeting.

The Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise
says: The Chinese residents of this city
yesterday began grand pow-wow OF
some kind, which they say will continue
three days. What it is all about, few
but themselves appear to know. As
near as we were able TO learn. it is some
kind of festival that is observed seven
months and Is days after their New
Years day.
They have secured possession of va
cant lot on II Street, short distance
north of Demling's store, and on this
have erected number of rough tempo
rary buildings, the largest of which is a
temple. In this temple is fitted up an
altar, on which candles and incense
were kept constantly burning. Many
curious objects are on and about the
altar.
The walls of the temple are covered
with pictures of gods, saints, and devils
of more than life-size. There are also
some large pictures that appear to be
historical. In front of the temple are
two huge images of men, each nearly
10 feet in height. Both sport tremen-
dous black mustaches and whiskers,
and are most formidable looking per-
sonages, huge as Goliath of Gath. The
"party" on the right of the entrance to
the temple has his left leg lifted over the
head of dragon and his chum on the
left has his right leg over ferocious
looking tiger.
In a long shed on the north side of
the temple is a table, at which the Ce-
lestials are seen feasting on boiled rice
and various other dishes, the contents
of which are past finding out by any
Caucasian, but which seem to tickle the
palates of the Mongolians.
A sort of shed to the westward of the
3" hash-house " contains great number
of figures of men or gods, all bedizened
with tinsel. A horse, made of paper.
about the size of an ordinary donkey, is
a prominent object in this building. Its
