The Pleasures of Business.

without all aim or purpose III life. Tho
greatest success in life consists not in the
mere accumulation OF riches, but m he
ing able to acquire wealth with dlspo-
sition to apply it in such manner that
il shall be n comfort and blessing to
othcrs-nOt in the mere giving away OF
money, but in putting people III way
to labor and help themselves. There Is
no pleasure in oppression. There IS no
Joy in grinding and exacting gold from
the poor; but there is n great deal ct
genuine satisfaction in being able to olier
steady and honorable employment to the
many willing hands that have nothing to
do. One of the greatest enioymentS OF
the prosperous business man consists III
being able to comfortably provide for
the many employees in his house and
mandatory. In doing this he is full
filling his obligations to society; he be-
comes a useful and honorod citizen;
business to him is real pleasure; he en-
lows his successes, when they are fairly
won because he feels that he deserves
them.
When business man has the right
kind of a purpose in life he enjoys his
occupation, he feels Just and worthy
pride in his prosperity, he is pleased
with the respect and gratitude of those
whom he directs and controls IN the
management of his affairs, and he feels
tha. IN honeftting himself he is confer

Washington Etiquette.

Questions Of etiquette are sometimes
very troublesome in Washington, and all
the more because very many OF the dent
zclls of that city, who come from distant
ard rural homes, know and care nothing
about etiquette. How little the honor
able gentleman from Symmcs' Hole
suspects, us he is asked to take Mrs.
Senator Red Velvet to dinner, that the
chair in which be shall sit, and the lady
whom he shall hand out have been
subjects Of long and anxious drlloera-
ton. 1t is easy to call on Wormley, or
Wclckcr, or Pinard, or some other chL
and order dinner for twenty. But who
who shall sit where, and shall hand
whom ?--Ihcsc are the questions which
cause yeXation and anguish. A distin-
guishcd official gentleman in Washing
ton gave Il noble repast in honor OF Il
noted guest. 1t was ordered Of the
proper pDycy0r. "Now," SAID the
host, when he had badc no expense be
spared, 81 don't know anything about
the business of seating people correctly.
You must attend TO that, too" The
purvcyor went straight TO another dis
tingui-hcd man, who had not been in
ytcd to the dinner because it would not
be agreeable to some other distinguished
man who was invited, and distinguished
man number one was immensely amused
that he was called upon to seat the
quests at dinner to which h9 waB not
himself invited.
1t is all the more perplcXing because,
although Washington is always full OF
official persons who are really indifferent
10 etiquette, and who greet 1t with II
hearty democratic laugh, yet because
Of its official population there has been
from the first especial attention paid by
experts to the subject. Washington
took grave counsel upon it, and Iiamii'
ton gave him some canons OF behavior
in writing, and there is alleged to be n
more rigid system Of social etiquette
among official persons in Washington
than is to be found i'll any circle else
where in the country. There are
asserted to be due rules for the " first
calling" of Senators wives, and the
wives Of the members Of the Cabinet
aud of Justices OF the Supreme Court.
Precedence ht table is also knotty
point involving great trouble of soul.
Some wears ago a Senator gave dinner
to which the Secretary Of State was IN
yitcd. When dinner was announced,
the host turned to the senior Senator,
the dean of the Senatorial Chamber,
and asked him to take the lady Of the
house to the table. The senior Senator
hcsitated, saying to his colleague that
the Secretary of State was in the room.
"Pshaw ! We Senators make Secretaries
Of State" was the answer; and the host
insisted that III his house nobody should
prccede the dean of his own body.

People Who Forget They Have Money.

One would hardly believe that there
are many who forget they have money
or that there Is money or interest due
them, and yet it is fact. There lies III
the Treasury Department to-day 81, lOO,-
600 of unclaimed interest on government
bonds The sum is getting larger every
day. This seems strange, but 1t Is true.
This vast sum OF money, or much OF 1t,
can be drawn by simply applying for it
10y whoever is entitled to it and has the
registered bond on which the interest is
due and not paid. There are thousands
of persons who have bought bonds, and
not knowing how to get the interest on
them. prefer to lose the same rather
than TO expose the fact that they have
the bonds. Others have interest due
them, and actually forget the fact, and
it lies in the Treasury vaults waiting for
them to apply for it. Should one OF tho
clerks of the bond division inform per-
son to whom interest is due of the fact,
aud the same is discovered, he would be
instantly discharged. Our government
is like that of other countries, dishonest
in matters of this kind, and is always
willing to keep that which belongs to
others, if it is not called for Should
one of its clerks be honest enough to
give ont hint, he is discharged on the
ground that it is not probable he would
be engaged i'll volunteering information
unless he received a certain percentage
for his services; and this he has no right
TO do. The government takes the
ground that the person to whom the in
tcrest is due should not be required to
pay for the information; at the same
fine the same government will not itself
volunteer the information. Chicago

"wanted, A Carpenter, Last Night.

"Wanted, A CaFpenter'' Last Night.
Mr. Gus Williams appeared before good
house last night in his new play, WANTED,
a Carpenter" The play itself is really only
secondary to Mr.. Williams, aud being writ
ten for the sole purpose Of introducing him
in his peculiar specialtIes. but little atten-
ton has been paid to the plot. 1t is, how
ever, by no meaus uninteresting as play,
and as it does afford Mr.. Williams opportu-
mites for the full display Of his special
talents, is both pleasant and enjoyable.
Those who have ever seen that gentleman
on our boards know how very amusing he
can be, and as Professor Conrad Keiser, the
inventor of the patent non-stealable, &C.,
umbrella, he kept his audience steadily in
good humor. Invariably when the dialogue
would begin to drag he and bis umbrella
would put IN an appearance, and immedi-
ately the house would be convulsed. The
ridiculous sbsurditY of his wonderful inven-
ton, with its numerous cork.screw, sword,
fan, electric battery and firearm
attacbmeuts-in short non-Open-
ing umbrella, "good for everything
but to keep off rain"-Was too much
for public disabilities to resist, while his
songs, recitations and Witticisms, being as
good as they always are, were received with
hearty laughter and loud applause.
His support, too, is very good. Miss Dora
Stuart as Mrs. Conrad Keiser, lady who is
always looking for ethereal visitants and
spiritual manifestations, fully maintained
the favorable impression she made in our
city last season, while all the other charsc-
tiers were acceptably sustained. 1t was,
upon the whole, an exceedingly satisfactory
performance, with which all present were
highly pleased.
Tonight hr, Williams appears in sour
German Senator 3 play with which he
made such a decided hit last season. He
will probably be greeted, as be deserves, by
another good house, and all who do attend
may rest assured Of a mirth provoking en-
tertainment

The application of Commissioners of
