Fashionable Nakedness.

In one of the lower tiers Of boxes
L saw a glorious-looking Rubens
woman with an entire corsage OF
forget The flowers were,
of course, but perfeet limitations,
and so grouped ami intertwined
that they climbed naturally and
gracefully from her girdle to where
the more ambitious sprays just
touch each other from either side
at the summit of her shoulders
An American lady, to whom | after
ward attempted to describe this
costume, said: "Well, there must
have been gauze or something else
underneath the forget-me nots." /"
No, there was not gauze, for, like
the rest of the spectators, l looked
hard; but there was something, and
it was the rich, warm flesh peepin
out between the flower stems. In
fact, inside the forget me nots, the
woman was naked from the waist
mp. The costume was not indecent
it was surprisingly pretty. So
was the raven dress OF q bloLde
temptress, whose corsage was
throat high with a ruff; but from
her chin to where her waist began
was a strip of genuine flesh color,
bridged like the Seine at night BY
cross bands OF contrasting black

Sherman draws his money when
ever he needs it, sometimes twice
a month, and oftener it runs on
two months.
Pendleton draws up close every
month when the senate is in session.
Burnside sends draft on the Sec
retary IS Office to his banker ct Prov
idence once a month, and the bank
draws on the secretary of the sen
ate regularly every month, whether
the senate is in session or not.
Anthony is the only senator that
draws once year, and his banker
attends to it for him.
Fair, of Nevada, went off without
drawing a cent, but his salary from
the 4th of March to the 1st of July
will be sent to him, if he does not
draw it out in the mean time. Fair
is said to be worth $42,000,00O.
Ben Harrison drew on his salary
three or four times. In fact, up to
the adiournmen5 of the last ses-
sion that was all the business he
did in Washington other than to
vote no with the republicans during
the deadlock.
Call, of Florida, is said TO be the
most improvjdent senator in the
bunch. It is said that he does not
know how to manage his own finan-
cial afairs.
Senator Joe Brown, who looks
like an early day Scotch Presbyte
rian, uses his salary for living ex-
penses in Washington. He draws
his money whenever his hotel pre-
sents its bill. Then he goes to the
senate cash man, and complains
how much it costs to live in Wash
ingbon. His living expenses, it is
thought, however, do not exceed
his salary. Last winter he boarded
at the Riggs House, but he has
bought, or proposes TO buy, a
house in which. he will live, and, it
lis said, will entertain on an elabo-
rate scale. 2 Mr. Brown is said to
be worth one or two millions
There are several senators who
have no other incomes than their
salaries. They cannot draw more
money than is actually due them,
but are entitled to their salary
wbe ther they come near Washing
ton during the session Of congress
or stay away. Ifthey do not call
for their money it is sert TO them
on the firstuo July each year. The
majority Of senators are railroad diJ
.rectors, presidents OF banks, bank
directors, etc. Pendleton and
Sherman both have large railroad
interests, as also Henry @. Davis,
Of West Virginia, who has large
mining interests, besides a large
commercial business in Baltimore.
Plumb and Ingalls,, Of Kansas, are
both int rested in some way with
some. corporation or Other. The
$4,000 salary paid a senator is
therefore to eaem minor coDsider-
atom There is not one Of them
that would not he willing to serve
as United States senator without
the shlary;tand question whether
there is one OF them that aseeuld
serve if The salary was the only con-
sederatton AZ stake.

How Ee Eorgave Them.

A prominent mer1ber of the
Houston bar, and an old friend of
General Houston, recently told the
following characteristic anecdote of
the great Texan:
The last time l met Gen. Sam.
Houston, / travelled with him in the
stage from Halletsvillt, te Nayasota.
He amused me with his anecdotes
all day, and toward evening he said
But now, my young friend, l aIu
growing old-I have laid aside all
animosities-I have buried the
tomahawk-I have even forgiven
Richardson of The News and Cush,
ing of The Telegraph, and / would
not lay the weight of feather upon
their backs--unless there was TAI
there to make it stick Texas

The shames and Crimes Of Our Age

The shames and Crimes of Our Age.
The London Times (please mark
the source of these words) thus
speaks in a recent Issue:
Drinking battles US, confounds US,
shames us, and mocks us at every
point. 1t outwits alike the teacher,
the man of business, the patriot,
and the legislator. Every other in
stitutlon founders in hopeless diff
culties; the public-house holds It's
triumphant course. The admins
traitors of public and private charity
are told that aims and oblations 60
with rates, doles and pensions. to
the all-absorbing bar of the public
house. Not year passes in either
town or village without some un
expected and hideous scandal, the
outcome of habitual indulgence,
often small and innocent in its
origin. SoIae pS1r creature, long
and deservedly high in the respect,
perhaps reverence, of the neighbor-
hood, makes sudden shipwreck of
character. Under the accumulat
ting influence Of alcohol, aggravated
perhaps by other still more power
ful, still more treacherous agencies,
the honest man turns knave, the
respectable man suddenly loses
principle and self-respect, the wise
man is utterly foolish, the rigidly
moral man forgets his mask and his
code and takes plunge into liber-
tinism. If then turns out what
possibly some have suspected, that
drink is at the bottom of it, and
that some poor wife or other friend
has long been doing the best that
could be done to check, to cure, and
at all events to hide, till the truth
would be out. Do something
towards staying the huge mischief
which in one way or another con-
founds US all, and may-for we can
not be sure-crush and ruin any
one of us.
Says Prof. Austin Phelps: eve
are not half awake to the fact that
by our laws of divorce and our tole
ration of social evil. we are doing
more to corrupt the nations heart
than Mormonism tentold. Vice,
avowed and blatant and organized,
to large extent nulliiies itself, so
far as self-diiIuslon is concerned.
But vice, lurking and still, trickles
into all the crevices of society. A
nation of Mormons is impossible
not so nation OF lihertines."
