ANUMBER of bills ap portioning Repre-
sentatives in Congress have been intro
duced but there seem to be no disposition
to hurry them up. Numerous Legisla-
lures are in session awaiting the action ot
Congress, but unfortunately there are
many members of that body who are
interested in keeping the Districts as
they are, unchanged, until the Legisla-
lures adjourn, and we apprehend it will
be months before an apportionment bill
Is passed.

SENATOR SHERMAN in his speech
justifying the demonetization of silver
in the interest of the privileged classes,
said that there had been no coinage Of
silver from 1853 to 1873. This gave
rise to a controversy between him and
Senator Vest, who disproved the state
ment by facts from the official records.
There was no argument in Senator Sher-
mans statement against silver coinage,
even if it had been true, but it hap
pened to be the reverse of truth.

DOrival, the Duelist. Manager.

In the good old days of Louis Philippe
there was certain VIscount who had
once belonged to the royal bodyguard,
but, becoming reduced in circumstances
had changed his name and taken to
arduous cares of theatrical management.
His methods were particularly his
own. When at rehearsal one Of the
company failed to respond satisfactorily
to suggestion.
"Pardon me, sir, but remarked that
that passage should not be slurred. You
insinuate by slurring it that I did not
know what I was talking about. You
might as we'll call me liar and a min
compoop at once. My seconds will wait
upon you at the green-room."
But when the performance had been
begun the warlike manager appeared
in quite another past.
Thus one evening, when he had in
troduced to the favorable notice of q
country town a comic opera company,
the audience, after patiently enduring
an atrocious prima dOna, rose in its
majesty, Kissed her off prepared to
wreck the theatre.
Dorival, magnificent in his indigna-
ton, bounded upon the stage.
Gentlemen" he. cried, 'you have
been faithless to the traditions Of French
chivalry in insulting and attacking a
single weak woman. But she shall not
lack for defender. [ shall be at the
box-office at the close of the performance
and shall demand satisfaction of every
man concerned in this manifestation so
unworthy of high-bred gentlemen and
chivalric Frenchmenr'
Tremendous revolution of popular
feeling. The cantatrice is recalled

He returns next year with company

Sympathetic Book Agent.

A book agent was trvaersing an up
town street, as he passed certain
dwelling, he noticed women bending
over little mold under maple, in the
corner OF the yard, and weeping bit
terly.
'sAh," soliloquiced the tender-hearted
book agent, 'this poor woman is likely
suffering over some loving child whom
she hath buried beneath the wide
spreading branches of that beautiful tree.
1 will address to her few words of con-
dolence."
''Ah, madam, why these tears? Be
comforted. Blessed are the mourners,
for they shall inherit the earth We
all alike must die and return to dust as
that fair child. Millions have died and
gone before, for they that tread the
earth are but handful to the tribes
that slumber in its bosom. It behooves
us, then, to waste no time in. useless
sorrowing, but be up and doing, and SO
live that when our time shall come We
will approach our grave like one who
wraps the drapery of his couch about
him and lies down to pleasant dreams"
The woman arose, the tears stream
ing down her face, and said:
''Mister, if you think you kin set out
onins without cryin' over it, 1 wisht
you'd just come over here and try it. !"
The book agent resumed his travels.

Politicians Mt Cards.

american politicians sometimes play
heavy games of poker, especially in
Washington when Congress is in session
and in Albany during the meeting TO the
Legislature" an old politician, who
spends nearly every winter in Albany,
said. SIN Albany members have been
rewarded for votes on bills by being
allowed to win a poker. When Tweed
and his associates controlled the Leg
islature that practice was more common
than it now is. Assemblymen played
poker. Tweed occasionally took a hand
In the game, but was not an every night
player. Harry Genet, who was then in
the Senate, was one of the best players
IN Albany, and man had to back his
hand for all it was worth to him VIXEN
he was in the game. One of the Brook
Ign Senators and Secretary of State at
that time usually played in the Delavan
House game, and the late Police Commits
sloner Henry Smith always took hand
when he was In Albaay. A good many
thousand dollars often changed hands in
q night when these men got together.
Some pretty heavy games were played
In Albany last winter, I would not men
ton names, but I know of one or two
Senators and several Assemblymen who
won more money from poker than from
the State during the session. Most of
the local politicians in this city are poker
players, and games in which the gains
and losses run into thousands are often
IN political clubs and in hotels and IN
restaurants that are patronized by pol
iticans."

Story Of a Silver Mine.

An old Colorado miner says: "While
T was vet at Leadville man came up
there from Denver named Dexter-Jim
Dexter they called him-and he was full
of life and hope and had some money.
Dexter looked about him for while and
finally brought claim on Carbonate
Hill, which had at that time not pros
pected very we'll. He paid, [ think,
about SIS, 900 for it and set to work put
ting in machinery ana sinking the shaft,
which was already down some hundred
feet or more. He worked away on the
mine, people laughing at him good
deal, but he never once lost heart. The
mine had not shown up single thing In
the way of mineral, and the shaft had
been sunk by that time several hundred
feet. Dexter did not know what to do.
He had now spent nearly all the money
he had and nothing was coming in.
One day in the early part of 1879 a party
came to him and asked him what he.
would take for his mine. Dexter told
him, and q bargain was made between
them. The price paid was, I think,
$50, 900, some S., 900 more than Dexter
had spent on it altogether. He was
mighty glad to get the $4,000, and
thought himself well out of bad bar
gain. He rushed out on to Carbonate.
Hill and ordered the miners to drop.
their tools and quit work. This was
about three o'clock in the afternoon.
He said; Boys, have sold this hole,
and don't want you to work another
minute in it for me. I will pay you off
right now, and you can quit. Well, they
had just finished drill and were going
to place blast and uncover some rock.
and they asked to be allowed to finish it
before they quit work. No. said Dex--
ter, come out; I don't want you to work
any more; there's nothing in the old
hole The men reluctantly quit and
departed. Dexter got his money and
was happy. Well, the mine had been
bought by a stock company, and in
short time they began work init. Now
young man, what am going to tell you
is the solemn TRUTH" said the miner.
''Those fellows went up there to that
mine and laid fuse to the blast left by
Texter's men and touched it off," After
he smoke Gle AIRED away they went in to.

when what do you think? There before
their eyes they saw the richest body of

of thousands of dollars met the gaze of

of ore. Well, young fellow, . continued
Mr.. Knowles, that mine was the cele-
brated Robert E. Lee, which has made.
everybody rich who has had anything to-
do with it since Jimmy Dexter sold it.
Millions of dollars have been turned out
of it, and it is the greatest silver mine in
the world" The reporter asked the
mines how Dexter took the misfortune.
'sWell," he replied, ''they say Dexter
would cry fora long time after whenever
he would hear the name of that mine
mentioned, but 7 don't know :how that
is. He got hold of other mining prop
erty with the money received, and is
now rich man, living in Denver in fine
style. He has the reputation of having
the most elegantly furnished house in
Denver, and it surely is beautiful

Chinese And Their PHOTOGRAPHERS.

The desire of the Chinese to have their
photographs taken amounts to passion
but their aesthetic sense is not very ex.
quisite. They want the lines, but they
evidently know nothing about attitudes,
shading, or perspective. A droll illustra-
ton of this is the way they sit for their
pictures. The San Francisco Chronicle
says:
'There is one Photographic establish
ment in this city, which does large
business almost exclusively with Chinese
Any fine afternoon one can see crowd
OF Cinnamon around the door examining
the pictures of their countrymen and
women.
1.-THE showcases contain the photo
graphs OF enough collies to supply two
states with laundrymen.
''The principal popularity of these
Chinese photographs is that to the
American eye they look nearly alike.
Being the pictures of people whose aim
in life is to do nothing original, but
abide by the customs of their progeni-
tors, they could hardly be otherwise.
Conversing with veteran photographer,
Chronicle reporter learned some facts
about the Celestial desire for portraits.
"'You see,' said he, pointing to row
OF photographs in which lot of ill-look-
ing Mongelians faced the spectator.
with their toes turned out and their
arms akimbo, all these are in the same
position. It is not once in a year that
you find Chinaman who wants to strike
any other attitude. He believes that
when he has his heels pointing toward
each other and his elbows crooked as if
they were cast iron he is the picture of
dignified repose.'
"'Dont you find thai the better class
OF Chinese are more intelligent in that
respect?' asked the reporter.
Not at all. The higher the social
standing of the Chinaman the sitter he
wants to look. White people want to
look as if they were entirely unconscious
Of sitting for their picture, but the Chi
nese subject wants to have every line of
his face and costume announce that he
has paid for his picture and that he is
thinking of it.
in the points that white people are
most particular about, the Chinese are
thoroughly careless. A Chinaman does
not care whether you touch up the
wrinkles in his face, or tone down the
uneveness of his features. He does not
seem to have an eye for such things, but
he wants every line of his dress brought
out as clearly as possible.
He is particular to have his toes
pointed out, and wants to have his shoes
come out in the picture as plainly as his
hands and his fan. He is bound to have
fan.
If he has his picture taken with a
bouquet of flowers on the table by him
he wants to see every flower done JUS
tice to. The colder and the harder the
picture, and the less light and shadow
on it, the better he likes 1t.
Nothing would disgust Chinaman
as much as to give him thoroughly
artistic picture with a profusion of high
light and correspondingly deep shadow.
he wants it to be like himself, without
color"

The Secretary of the German navy
has now definitely resolved to employ
carrier pigeons in the coasting service,
all the experiments with them made by
the Prussian Government on the coast
of the North sea since 1876 to establish
communication with the Ightships lying
off the coast having been successful.
Such communication is of the utmost i'm
portance, not only for the lightships
themselves, but likewise for incoming
vessels if they become disabled OF
founder. Timely intimation of their
distress is thus brought to Iau I, and
help of some kind may be sent them.
The system of dispatching the pigeons
has been most thoroughly tested, and
found to answer admirably, especially
during the severe gales at the mouth Of
the Elder last Autumn on two lightships
out at sea-one thirty-six leagues dis
tant, and the other galliot at anchor
nearer the land. Two stations for car
rier pigeons have now been established,
by which importantnews may be sent
to Teenning. Birds bred for the pur-
pose have flown the distance of thirty
six leagues in thirty minutes, despite
the heavy gale blowing at the time.
