Shaving in Seven Kingdoms.

l have now been shaved in seven
kingdoms and six languages. They all
perform the ceremony differently. But
they all, from Scotland to Naples, insist
on sitting you in plain, straight chair,
and bending your head over back until
your spine howls with agony. And
they all agree in another custom-they
never wash OF the soap they have put
on. But they bring you bowl of wa
Ter, hold it under your chin as you are
leaning back and insist on you washing
your own face then and there. II you
object to the attitude, they shrug all the
upper part of themselves and sling a
disdainful smile at you; If you comply,
little rivulets run pleasantly down in
side your shirt, and some OF the soap
they have generally swoggled into your
ears gets into your stockings. have
seen no barber WASH his victims face

vary. In London they charge q shil-
ling twenty-five cents) for a shave; In
Naples they will for fifty centimes (ten
cents) shave you, cut your hair, wash
your face and hands, curl your eye
brows and wax your mustache till you
look like Victor Emmanuel, and can
pass for prince on any of the side
streets. Yesterday ] was shaved for

cents-but / took the balance out in

Jones of Florida always q hard stu
dent, labors diligently at set speech.
He is passionately fond of Edmund
Burke, and knows his works as we
never knew anyother to know them. He
has a memory equal to Blaine's or Ben
Hills, and time and again have we
heard him repeat page after page of
Burks's immortal speeches. It is the
same with the spe eches OF Philip, Grat-
tan, Curran, and O'Connell. Jones is a
very able man. His democracy is ex-
treme, but out OF politics he is one OF the
best fellows the world over.
Davis of West Virginia, though an
old member of the senate, has made but
one speech--on agriculture. 1t was
printed exactly as it was written. His
remarks are left to the tender mercies
of the stenogrspher.
Beck, Dsvis's colleague on the COM
mittce of appropriations, is the most
rapid talker in either house Of congress.
Well for him that the senate has such a
stenographer as Denis Murphy, whose
hand travels over paper like lightning.
We doubt if his equal could be found
anywhere. Beck is an untiring worker,
has the. constitution OF Kentucky
racehorse, and no amount OF labor is
too heavy for him. He is not much of
reviser, going on the principle Of
Pontius Pilste-Quod scripst, scripsi.
He is as blunt as joey Bagstock and as
good-natured as Mark Tapley. AS
there are "no leaves TO print" in the
senate, no senator can publish q speech
without having at least read it from
manuscript. The first page Of the Daily
Record is quite a desideratum as the
place to air the title of speech, and
many a grave senator who would will
lingly sit at the end Of McGregor's table
is lOath to have his speech hidden in the
middle OF the Record. Iu vain TO at
tack Solomon's theory about variety!

Talmara On Guitaan.

Mr., Talmage has tried, but he can't
bring himself to pray for Guiteau. He
said last evening In the Tabernacle:

plause.l A wife widowed, an aged
mother left childless, interesting chill
dren deprived of their father, q nation
orphaned, all because o brainless fool
could not get foreign consulship. 1t
is a principle that all men, even the
worst, ought to be prayed for, but 1
have tried eight Sundays to bring
myself to pray for Guiteau, and l
confess 1 can't do it. Loud ap-
plsuse.l Perhaps before he is hanged I
may, but at present l have to leave it
to the old ministers, who are good
enough to do anything. When
they kill presidents they kill tho best.
We have had presidents that amounted
to nothing, or next to nothing, but they
don't kill them. We want q law pre-
scribing death within three days to any
one who even attempts to kill a presi-
dent. lApplause.] This is hard time,
for my friends you don't believe in cap
ital punishment. What would you do
with GuiteauP Turn him loose? No,
you would hardly do that. Put him
into an asylum for the insanei He Is
not insane. He put five bullets into his
revolver. Imprison him for life? No,
you don't want him kept and impris-
oned at your expense. No, you must

book, "Whesoever sheddeth mans
blood, by man shall his blood be she'd"

New Story about Gen. Grant.


1t has Just leaked out that while Gen.
Grant was travelling in Asia he ex-
pressed a desire to get shot at lion.
Not wishing to expose him to danger,
the natives secured stuffed lion, set IL
up in jungle and then took the illustri-
GUS traveller out for hunt. When the
beast was sighted the General was all
excitement, and crawling up to favor
able position began to blaze away at
the animal with no perceptible effect.
After firing about twenty shots he be-
gan TO get mad, and, taking off his coat,
he settled down for a regular seige.
Fearing his wrath when he discovered
the sell, the attendants endeavored TO
induce him to give Hp the attempt to
kill the beast, telling him that he bore
a charmed life and that he could not pos
sibly injure it. He told them to go to
thunder; that he was after blood, and
was going to have it. After a vain fusil-
ade OF half an hour he arose to his
feet, crashing his teeth with rage,
threw his suspenders of his shoulders,
rolled up his sleeves, and grabbed his ri
lc by the barrel, so he could use it as n
club. The attendants again begged him
to desist but he politely, though forci-
bly, informed them that he would have
that cuss or leave his honored remains
strewn promiscuously sll through that
jungle, and with a wild cry OF, 'J'll
tight it out on this lion II it takes all
summeri' he rushed upon the beast, al d
with one well-directed blow, laid ii
over on its side. Then he chased the
native attendants for six miles, but, be-
ing better acquainted with the country,
they got away from him in safety

The Nashville American.

At no time in the South's history has
a well-informed newspaper, issued from
a commanding point of observation for
the collection and distribution OF early
intelligence been more an indispensi-
bility to southern households than now.
The efforts of the managers of the
American to maintain its standard as
the best political, commercial and fam
lily newspaper in the southern states
will in no particular be relaxed, for the
ensuing year, and many improvements
are contemplated. For the last six
years it's expenditures have not been
less than one hundred thousand dollars
annually, to serve its patrons with the
freshest news, and its outlay for tele
graphic news alone has not been less
than ten thousand dollars per annum.
No other newspaper south of the Ohio
river has expended so much Tor tele-
graphic services. 1t appears regularly
every day throughout the year, includ-
ing holidays, and its Office is never
closed. The weekly American made up
of the cream of the news of the seven
daily issues of the week will contain the
full volume of telegraphic dispatches
and market quotations on the day OF
publication. 1t will be sent postage

How We Grow Rich.

At the present relative rate ef in
crease, the United States will soon be
the wealthiest nation on the globe. We
are now far ahead of most OF the older
nations, and are going forward at a
pace that renders anything like an at
tempt to compete with us an absurdity.
We have England and France to pass in
order TO take the lead.
England heads the list of nations,
showing capital of $44 4,000, ,QOO, ,Q00-a
sum rather larger than we care to reflect
upon, but it doesn't seem so immense
when we remember that five hundred
Vanderbilts might buy il all.
France follows $4,000, ,000,0 900 behind,
having capital of $35 ,000, ,0C0, 900, equal
to about six hundred Jay Goulds.
Falling back in the road 81, ,00O, ,000, 900
behind France and $4,000, ,000, 900 be-
hind England, we come to the United
States with a showing Of $32, ,000, ,000, 900,
or something less than four hundred
Vanderbilt
But the best part of our showing is in
the rate of increase. The annual gain
of national wealth in Germany is two
hundred millions, in England three
hundred and seventy-fve millions,
while in the United States it reaches
the enormous figure of eight hundred
and twenty-five millions.-Was.P Post.

In a Ticht Place.

A young Fond du Lac lawyer learned
something the other night. We know
| it viii seam strange that young law
| yer could learn anything, but this one
| admits il himself. He was out calling
on young lady, when a young man
| and another young lady called, and the
young lawyer thought 1t would be cum
ming to get down behind the lounge and
not let them know he was there, and
surprise them by bobbing up serenely
from below when the proper time came.
I.They came in and the first thing they
asked for was the young lawyer, who
had told the young man he would be
there that evening. Then they began
to talk about him, discussed the size OF
his feet, which they claimed were large,
and the size of his head, which they as
serted was child's size. he perspired
qualities, how he had mashed girl that
worked in laundry, and the opinion
was expressed that he was q regular
flirt. Then they talked about his family,
and he tried to stuff his ears. just
then little terrier belonging 10 the
girls brother came in the room, and
somebody said "rats," and set the dog o.
hunt for them, and the dog went under
the lounge and began to grOwl and
shake something, and there was a sound
OF revelrY by night. The other young
man and the two girls rushed out of the
room, and the lawyer got up on his feet,
pulling the dog up near his suspenders
by the teeth, and the dog shook, and the
young man kicked and yelled, and
presently the girls father came in and
seeing the dog trying to hold what he
supposed was burglar he took an old
hair cloth covered chair and was going
to brain the burglar when the young
man told who he was, and the father un-
locked the dogs teeth, after he had re-
membsred the combination, and the
young lawyer took himself In his hand
and went away. He won't speak to the
young people now, and it Is said he will

Before the grand jury reassembled the
