WashingtOn's Little Joke.

An incident of more than usual inter-
est occurred to-day, just after the class in
constitutional law was dismissed, at the
university. l had been lecturing upon
the advantages of the bi-cameral system,
had dismissed the class, and was about
to leave the room, when young man,
whom l knew had taken instructions un-
der Laboulaye in Paris, approached me,
and said that what had urged in regard
to the bicameral system reminded him
of story which he had heard Laboulaye
relate. was interested, of course, and,
as the class gathered around, he proceed
ed with the following: "Laboulaye said,
in one Of his lectures, that Jefferson, who
had become so completely imbued with
French ideas as even to admire the uni
cameral system of legislation, one day
visited Washington at Mount Vernon,
and in the course of the conversation that
ensued, the comparative excellence of the
two systems came up for consideration.
After considerable had been said on both
sides, finally, at the tea-table, Washing
ton, turning sharply to Jefferson, said;
"You, sir, have just demonstrated the
superior excellence of the bi-cameral
system, by your own hand"
"Il How is thatl" said Jefferson, not
little surprised.
"You have poured your tea from your
cup out into the saucer to cool. We
want the bi.cameral system to cool
things. A measure originates in one
house, and, in heat, is passed. The other
house will serve as wonderful cooler;
and, by the time it is debated and modi-
fed by various amendments there, it is
much more likely to become an equitable
law. No, we can't get along without the
saucer in our system"
Jefferson, of course, saw that point
had been made against his argument; bu:
whether he was frank enough to say SO,
the story-teller did not relate.-Francis
Lie6er.

True Hospitality.

True hospitality is thing that touches
the heart and never goes beyond the cir
clio of generous impulses. Entertain
ment with the truly hospitable man
means more than the mere feeding of
the body; it means an interchange OF
soul gifts. Still it should have its laws,
as all things must have laws to govern
them.
The obligation to be hospitable is q
sacred one, emphasized by every moral
code known to the world, and "a practical
outcome of the second great command
ment
There should never be guest in the
house whose presence requires any con-
| siderable change in the domestic econ
| omy.
However much the circumstances of
business or mutual interests may demand
in entertaining a stranger, he should
never be taken into the family circle un-
less he is known to be wholly worthy of
| a place in that sapctum sanCtOrum of So
cial life; but, when once a man is ad-
mitted to the home tiresioe, he should be
treated as if the place had been his al
ways.
The fact of an invitation gives neither
host nor guest the right to be master of
the others time, and does not require
even temporary sacrifice OF ones entire
individuality or pursuits.
A man should never be so much him
self as when he entertains friend.
To stay at friends house beyond the
time for which one is invited is to perpe-
trate n social robbery.
To abide uuinvited in friends house
is as much misdemeanor us borrowing
his coat without his permission. 1t is
debasiDg the coin of friendship to mere
dross when man attempts to make it pay
his hotel BILL
The fact of two men having the same
occupation and interests III life gives to
neither social right to the others bed
and board. A travelling minister has no
more right to 60 uninvited to a
fellow-preacher's house than travelling
shopkeeper or shoemaker has to 60 un-
invited to the house of his fellow-crafts-
man. Men are ordained to the ministry
as preachers, teachers, anu pastors, ana
not MS private hotel-keepers.
They who go into the country in sum
mer as uninvited guests of their farmer
friends should be rated as social brigands,
and treated accordingly.
These few social maxims are by no
means to be taken as complete code of
laws. Others quite as important will
spring UP out Of the personal experience
Of every reader of this article, and the
justice and equity of all may be tested
by that infallible standard of society
the golden rule. There can be no true
! hospitality that in practice is a violation
of this rule and you may safely rest as
sured that you have given the fullest and
most perfect measure of entertainment
to your neighbor if you have done ex-
actIy as you would be done by.--By E.

A Manifest Absurdity.

1t Is manifestly absurd to claim for mere
stimulsnt, tonic and Alternative properties
Yet this is what is daily done by the vendors
OF cheap local bltters colored to make them
look attractive, and agreeably favored. but
the alcoholic basis OF which Is OF the yiesI
and most hurtful description. The transcend
ent success OF Hostetter's Stomach Bltters
the leading Alternative tonic OF the United
States, has induced many of these compound
ers OF drams In disguise to attempt the coun
terfelting Of this standard medicine, but thelI
efforts have never proved successful on
large scale, and they have themselves in
many instances notoriously "come to grief
through the instrumentallty OF the law.
The genuine Bitters have, indeed, q splrltu
GUS basis, but they are emphatlcally medi
cine, since their botanic ingredients are sig
nally efiicacious in overcoming and prevent
ing chills and ndfeyer,dySpepsla, liver complaint
constipation, and many other disorders.

The st. Louis Journal advises young

manifests a prediction for Strauss she is

isgiddy; for Gounod, she is lackadaisical

"Blind" Letters at the New York
Post Office.

The average Of misdirected letters sent
up to this department is over 500 day !;
the day l was there last it ran up to
about 1000. The most difficult of these
90 to Mr.. Stone, who is called "the blind
man." perhaps because he can decipher
an inscription that is utterly illegible to
any other man in America. His most
difficult cases are the foreign letters
Here is letter directed to "Sanduik,"
which he makes out to be Sandy Hook
Sometimes the arrangement of the name
and address is curious.
For Mr.. thomas
Smith Bridge
port post-othce
Conn. America
is very plain when you once understand
that it is "For MIR. Thomas Smith, Bridge
port, Conn.,, America" But when man
says "Hoio," how is anybody but blind
man to know that he means Ohioa One
letter reads, "Bet Feet Rue de Aqua"
Now the blind man knows that "Rue de
Aqua" is Spanish for Water street, and
that there is Water street in New Bed
ford, Massachusetts,. "Lysram, Warner
Co.." he translated into Luzerne, Warren
Co.; and "Common County, P. A." is
made into Cameron County, Pennsylva
MIA. But who would guess that Severn
G. ID. Learey," in one line, means that it
is to go to Auburn, in search of G. d. L.l
One letter is directed to "Kunstanzer
Braucrei, s. l., Amerika." Mr.. Stone
recolects the fact that Constance's Brew
cry is at Stapleton, Staten Island, and
the letter is sent there. He reads "IoUl'
into Iowa, and "te Pella in Yomah" he
makes to 60 to Pella, in the same State.
Nor does Ohio get off with one miss.
Here is one letter that wants to 60 to
"Stadt Hioh Zunsounati, Strasse 15,"-
that is, to the State of Ohio, Cincinnati,
Street Is. But that is not all. This
other one wants to reach the same city;
but it has bad spell Of another kind,
for its direction runs "Scitznaty." And
then "Pizzo Burg Messessip," is sent to
Vicksburg. Michigan is spelled "mut-
ting "Glass works Berkshire" is sent
to Pittsfeld, in Berkshire County, Mas
sachusetts, where there is glass factory.
But the hardest one saw was addressed
to "John Hermann Schirmen," in one
line with the wonderful word "Stague-
kaundo" for the rest. Mr.. Stone cut the
word in twain, and read it "Chautauqua
County," while he translated the whole
into "John Hermann, Sherman 2. o.,
Chautauqua County, N. Y"
But there are some which even blind
man cannot make out. Ono letter in
rather good handwriting is very vague
ly addressed to
"Mackay, Esq, Amerique."
Another reads:
"Too much OF this.
"From your affectionate son.
CANTON HIEMBUBGER,"
In this case the close of the letter has
been copied exactly by some one who did
not understand the language. Instead of
too much of this, there is really too lit
tie. But here is case where the top of
a letter has been imperfeCtly copied in
the same fashion. 1t reads "Tuesday
Evening, Nord America"
If Tuesday Evening should see this
article, he will know that his letter has
gone back again to Europe 9
