gsIseten s Story.
''THE UGLIEST Man O(jH.' q

Sim Hawkins was one Of the
most positive men that ever made
an assertion and stuck to it. A
man like that invariably acquires
a reputation. Sim had a number
one reputation of it's class-that
of being a very disagrceable man.
At first, one would think that Sim
had no need to cultivate such a
reputation. Nature had not been
at pains to endow him with such
beauty as to compensate for a sim
gle cross grain. In features, COM
plexion. figure and voice, the man
had little to recommend him. If
he had been governed by policy
he would have played the agree
able. On the contrary, as l have
said, he was as positive and dis
agreeable as any that ever ad-
hered to his convictions.
. Then, to make the matter worse,
the world Immediately fell into
an error-natural enough, never
theless a great error-that of i'm
put; g heartlessness to the cap
tain, who was as bravo a man as
ever lived, and as tender-hearted:
However, when the failings Of the
captain we're capped with2the pub
lie error, there was no end Of mis-
takes, as is invariably the case
where two errors meet.
The truth was, more kindly
or afectionate heart never throb=
bed than Captain Sim Hawkins.
Although his complexion was a
compromise between snuff color
and saffron, bis figure slightly
podgy and motions positively awk-
ward, his nose entirely out. OF
keeping with the rest of his fea-
lures Ca nose that threatened, !,
challenged and seorned the world)
and his voice as harsh as a rag
machine Or the sepulchral tone
assumed by the thousand imita,
tors of Captain CuttIe's adviser,
Jack Buusby, the captain was as
true as steel and as brave as
lion.
Withal, the captain was quiet:
reserved and shy in tho presence
of the fair sex. Proof: he boarded
in the same house and roomed on
the same floor with the Widow
Mordant,a and never addressed q
word to her in two months. Then
the subject was butter, began and
stopped with sort of GROSS speech
to the servant, and an apology to
the widow for interposing in be-
half Of her child.

day;
Oscar, my dear, what makes

"Because he is such a jolly tel'

I'll wear whiskers like Captain
Hawkins, and make my voice as
rough as ever ] can, too."
"You silly child that ugly Cap
tain Hawkins! Ifyou must initiate
somebody, pattern after an agree
able man. I never met a more
disagreeable man than Captain
Hawkins in my life."

piazza at that moment. [ will dc

At the northwest corner Of the
Exposition building is 8 grand tow
er unique in shape and Of grand
design, which is daily delight to
thousands and thousands of >Visi-
tors. From early morning till the
shadows of evening fall, constant
stream of inquisitiVe humanity may
be seen ascending and descending
to and from the gallery near its
summit, from which can be obtained
one Of the most magnificent views
to be found in the entire Exhibi
ton. The building itself is Of var
nished Canada pine, and is decked
with the flags of England and
France from the base to the sum-
NIT. On each side Of the eastern
door couple of rampant bears are
ready to give you a welcome, and
from a point near the spire noble
deer looks down as if intently
watching the wonderful pageant
below. Around the first story are
arranged seeds, wines and many Of
the products of agriculture, gar
nished by display Of the most
tempting and luscious fruits.
Rare fax and hemp are there
and many other things that
lay at the foundation Of Canada's
wealth; and above are stuffed birds
and animals; mingled with Indian
fabrics rich with the odor OF the
pine woods and suggestive Of say
age life. Beautiful models of boats
are fastened to the side Of the up
per tier, and, in fact, the entire
building is a museum ofcunosities'
This is Canada's temple and tri-.

ticularly grand: In one corner
rises a mighty obelisk Of copper
from Australia; in another, a mon
ument OF gold representing the
wealth of Victoria. New South
Wales aud Queensland are here
with their glittering tributes, and
as if undismayed by the shining
challenge. Canada exhibits huge
octohedron of gold valued at IS
millions of dollars. On the east is
the splendid Prince of Wales col
lection fanked by the richest pro-
ducts Of the Indian loom. On the
south side is machinery hall with
it's marvellous collection of engines
and machines. On the west is the
department devoted to agricultural
implements, and on the north
stretches the beautiful grounds rich
in horticultural wonders and gay
with the gaudiest of flowers. But

building is the center OF obserVa-

VALIDITY OF THE ELECTORAL COUNT
THE KIMMEL BILL.
THE MATTHEWS sUBPENA.
WARRINGTON, June "a deputy of
the sergeant-at-arns OF the House served
to-day on Senator Matthews the supbena
10 appear before the Potter committee.
1t is Understood that Mr.. Matthews will
decline TO respect the summons. Pro-
minent republicans, including several
Senators OF that side, to-day expressed
the opinion that Mr.. Matthews is.pursu-
ing very unwise course, and Will sub
iect himself to unfavorable criticism. Y ct
If he elect to shield himself behind his
privileges as Senator it is not doubted
that the Senate will sustain him and de-
clare that he is not amenable to the ju-
risdiction of the House.
General Butler shows considerable
feeling on the subject, and says that II
Mr.. Matthews does not respond he will
bring the question before the House and
insist on the issue being met. Gen. But
Ter says that Mr.. Matthews is only pri-
vileged while in the discharge of his
duties as Senator, and that when not
so engaged he is liable to arrest for dis
regarding the mandate of the House.
Others do not go so far as this, but think
there is no question that MIR. Matthews
can be forced to appear after the hnai
adjournment of the Senate. But this last
is not practical point for when the
Senate adjourns sine de so will the House,
and a mere committee of either body
which happens to be sitting during The
recess has no power to deal with recu-
SAINT witness.
VALIDITY OF THE COUNT.
A noted New York politician, who is
ln.l,v h.I fal ~
tions to Mr.. Tilden, arrived here yester-
day. He is represented to have said IN
conversation that he did not consider
that the Forty-Fifth Congress had any
power to delegate to the electoral com
mission the settlement of the president
ial election. That the electoral votes had
never yet been properly counted, and he
hoped the investigation now in progress
would result in developing such senti-
ment as weuld compel this Congress to
count the votes. Such expressions as
these have caused much comment to-day
but only becouse the conclusion is jump
ell at, and most probably without founn-
alton, that they represent the views OF
Mr.. Tilden. More Importance is also at
tached to them than would otherwise be
the case from another circumstances in
connection with the movements of the
gentleman alluded to. He entertained at
dinner since his arrival several promi-
nent democratic members of both houses,
where the situation was discussed.
THE KIMMEL BILL.
1t is now announced that it has been
determined that no report on the Kim
mel bill shall be made from the judiciary
committee at present. Three members
OF the Potter committee, including Gen.
Butler, are also members of the judiciary
committee, and it is alleged that the de.
velopmentS of the last few days were
made an ally in securing reversal of the
determination of the judiciary committee
AT this stage of the session, even though
a majority of the committee, it is believ.
ed may still be in favor of making this
adverse report, its submission can be- pre-
vented.

The concert given in Jhe Court House
Saturday evening by John Sehaffer aided
by the "lrma Glee' was without doubt
the best ever given in this city, and each
particular participant was received with
rounds of applause, with encores and re-
enchores. An effort is being made to en-
tice them to repeat the concert at some
day ia the new future. They remained
over Yesterday as the guests of Mr.. w.
Walfkiel.
The huckster or market ordinance is
stlli an engrossing topic. Theresidents OF
Dobbensville and Shawtown seem to
to think 1T would be unreas asouable to
compel them to come into the market
house distance of from l and 2 miles,
and further think that by establishing a
"ourb" market in both places besides in
the centre OF the city, the effect would
be the same. This Idea is worthy of CON
slderatiop. What is wanted is the de-
vislng OF some plan to bring competl-
tiou that will put the prices of vegeta-
bleS near those of Wilmington.
