MARRIED MEN are of two kinds-good
and bad. The bad are truly horrible the
good, very good indeed. The bad married
man illtreats his family in every way, and
generally ends by eloping with some
body and leaving his wife to earn a
living by fine needle-work. But the good
married maxwell, he is not madly in
love any more, but he believes that there
never was such a woman as his wife. He
does not see Times changes in her face; !;
she is always young to him. Every baby
binds them closer to each other. There is
an expression in a good married mans face
that n bachelor cannot have. 1t is indis-
cribable. He is little nearer the angels
than the prettiest young fellow living.
You can see that his broad chest is pillow
| for somebody's head, and that little fingers
pull his whiskers When some one has
said husband" and some other Papa" a
ceal is set upon the forehead. No one-no
woman at least-ever mistakes the good
married man for an instant. 1t is only the
erratic one who leaves you in doubt. The
| good one can protect all the unprotected
females, lift pretty girls over cutters, talk
to them in carriages, and make himself
generally agreeable, and yet never leave 6
doubt on any mind that there is q preciou:
little woman at home worth all the worlC
to him. Some women like the bad married
man, and delight in making his wife jeal
Gus. | hate him. The good married mar
on whom l could not make ian impression

One Of our regular Washington CORE
spondsats gives the following relative to

nsctsd Herewith: II there IL one thing
more than another that the average
Congressman wants in preparing his
speeches. 1t 10 'hsgers." There seems
to DO a peculiar sort Of fascination about
"hgsers." Every year the Treasury
officials are called upon and called upon
araiu by Senators and Representatives
for ..few statistics and official hg-
GERS" The calls Of members have al
ready commenced. and. judging from
the number OF them. there are going to
he . good many orations the coming
session on "'national banks. ''ths silver
dollar" and 'ths general condition Of
the country" When . Congressman
cannot crate on anything else. he ssizes
the opportunity offered by "a general
debate" to get Of something on 1.-THE
condition OF the country" To do this
properly he must have ''assers." and
to the Treasury he goes to get them.
Tho principal calls Tor statistics seem to
be made on Treasurer Gilhllan and Con-
troller Knox.
In his report the Secretary OF the
Treasury announces to Congress that
during tho past year be has disposed oil
800, O00, 900 worth OF the new four

continues at the current ratio, be will
DO able to place at least $500. 600. 900
more Of these bonds during the coming
year. He is encouraged to hope that
in a few years he can refund the entire
public debt. which now pays ak per
centum interest. into these low interest
bonds. and thus ave to the Treasury an
enormous sum annually in interest. The
success OF this issue OF securities will be
the basis Of q recommendation from the
Secretary to Congress TO authorize the
issue Of bonds Of low denominations
say from $40 up To 500 each. bearing
interest q, tho rate OF 3.65 per csniuu
per annum.
In the report to Congress from The
War Department the Secretary asks that
either the resolution prohibiting the
use OF the military rs q posse comiiatus
be repealed or modified so a to allow
the President TO use the regulars in aid
OF the civil authorities in certain cases,
