Oung Mr.. Goldsmith who Is a clerk
I'm one OF our dry good stores upon a
fair salary, aud who has for some time
been paying attention TO a young lady
of the south end, whose father is worth
forty thousand dollars, made up his mind
last week that he would finally settle
the question cf her regard for him.
THURSDAY evening he arrayed himself In
his most prepossessing garments, and
emitting his supper from reason of sud
den and total loss of appetite, he repair
ed To the barber shop, for the purpose of
acquiring that smoothness Of face, so
much admired by his young lady.
"Now," said young Mr.. Goldsmith to
himself. cit will be an excellent oppor-
tunity to think up something TO say,
while Pm being shaved" and he took
his seat In the chair, elevated his boots,
closed his eyes, and put his thoughts
into reflective order. lie said To him

"S1avep" enquired the knight of the
razor.
"Of course" said young Mr.. Gold
smith, somewhat tartly, opening his
eyes, "you don't suppose came in to
get tooth pulled, do you"
The barber smiled In a soft tone, and
proceeded with his work, while young
MIR. Goldsmith closed his eyes again.
and resumed his musing:
"l'll begin by saying that she can
not be insensible to the fact that

he gave an upward stroke under the
chin. Mop replied young Mr.. Gold

young Mr.. Goldsmith WINGED under the
razor; "did nip a pimplo2"

shortly, and relapsed into: That no

"Bay rump"
Young Mr.. Goldsmith shook his head
with wrathlul feeling I'm his breast
that boded the barber no good, and con.
tinued: "And drink I'm the love that
am certain she bears me. Then | will

unconscious Of the mischief he was do
ing. A malevolent glare from his Gus
toner answered his question In the
negative.

to himself, "and then / Will conclude
by saying-'and now, dearest Mary,

"Any oil" said the barber, pauslng
with the bottle in his hand.
And then the other customers were
Mortified at seeing a young man shoot
out of the chair, clutch the barber by
the neck, break the oil bottle over
his head, and then, as he backed the
terrified razor-manipulatOr against the
wall, they heard him scream, In pas
siontorn voice.
You miserable apology for phono-
graph. don't want any oil, any sham
poo, any pomatum, any cosmetic, any
Cigars-any-any-a aw!"
And young Mr.. Goldsmith, grabbing
his coat and hat tore odt OF the door
and up the street, grittlng his teeth so
| hard that he started two gold filings
and entirely ruined the nerves OF an
elderly woman on the opposite side of
the street. lie didn't propose that

Legal-Tender Notes.

The recommendations of the President and
the Secretary OF the Treasury that the legal
tender quality Of United States notes be taken
away, is likely now to cause considerable dis
cussion. This recommendation, however, Is no
new departure on the part of republican admin
iStratiOns. In 1874 Secretary Bristow recon-
mended as follows: THAT after an early and
fixed day United States notes shall cease to be
legal tender as to contracts thereafter to be
made" In 1875 he repeated his recommended
ton. In 1876 Secretary Morrill,, in his annual
report, says: 1.-THE United States notes, COM
monty known as legal tender regarded as a
substitute for money, are an anomaly in our
monetary system, tolerable and possible only
in the exigencieS of civil war-the offspring OF
its perils and limited to its necessities. To
allow their continuance as such after the cause
which justified their existence had ceased, is to
violate the conditions Of their inception and to
sanction what was only tolerable as necessity,
by impressing upon it the stamp of legitimacy.
The quality of legal tender with which
they We're impressed should have been co-eXiSt-
ent only with the necessities of which they were
the offspring. Having served their end they
existed properly only as evidence of govern
ment Indebtedness TO be provided for as other
debt obligations" In the same year President
Grant recommended to the earnest considera-
ton OF Congress: "A repeal of so much OF the
legal tender act as makes these notes recelv-
able for debts contracted after date to be fixed
in the act itself, say not later than the 1St Of
January, 1SII;' which is substantially the re-
commentator of Secretary Sherman.

The Message.

The annual message of President HAYES laid
before Congress to-day, is creditabe state
paper, and is noticeably devoid of anything OF a
partisan nature. He makes the resumption of
Specie payments and the consequent prosperity
the first subject and recommends additional
financial legislation. the most important feature
OF which is that the U. s. legal tender notes be
retired. He advises more stringent laws for the
suppression OF polygamy, and earnestly appeals
for entire and complete protection Of the right
OF suffrage in all sections OF the country. Our
relations with foreign countries the border
raids, timber depredationS, the condition of
Alaska and all the governmental departments
and interests are treated Of and the condition
and needs OF each placed before Congress for
proper attention. The President gives his
views at some length upon civil ser
vice reform, maintaining the position
he took in the early days of his
administration against permitting officers of
the government to take an active part in the
control and management of politics. The Pres
fdent is especially thoughtful of the interests OF
the District of Columbia. He transmits to Con-
greSs the report of the District Commissioners
and invites particular attention to the recon-
mendations contained therein. He particularly
impresses upon Congress the necessity of legis-
lation for the reclamation of the Potomac
marshes. He also urges favorable action in be-
nail OF lne PUBIC SCHOOLS OF the DStr1ct
and reminds Congress that "the terri
tory OF this District is the common prop
erty of the people of the United States,
who equally with its residents are inter-
ested In the prosperity of the Capitol"
Measures thus so earnestly recommended by the
Commissioners and by the President ought
certainly to receive from Congress the attention
they deserve. The Potomac flats have long
been an eyesore that detractS in a large degree
from the beauty of the capital and Offsets much
that has been done in the way of Improvement
But the greater consideration that demands
their reclamation is one of health. Not only do
the citizens of the District fall under the balefu
effects OF the malaria-producing flats, but men,
bers of Congress and their families furnish
victims. as well as visitors, who in coming to
Washington desire to seek health as well as
pleasure. During the sessions Of Congress the
children of members are regular attendants at
the public schools. and therefore the request for
assistance from Congress IS eminently just
The President in urging Congress to relieve
needs of the District which the means OF the
Commissioners are wholly inadequate for the
accomplishment Of" has done an act of justice
which Congress can complete and make effect
i've by promptly carrying out the recommended
