The Union veterans, Fair.

The fair and bazaar OF the Union Veterans
at Iasonic Temple continues TO grow In popu-
larity daily. One important feature which
adds additional success 10 this AFFAIR Is the
rigid rules which prevent "soliciting" 1t
Will be Wen for all other fairs to follow the ex-
ample OF the Union Veterans In this respect,
as this system of solicitation " had grown to
be such a nuisance that the majority of people
grew 10 be AFRAID OF visiting bazaar.
Among the most interesting features of the
fair is the "Ellsworth stand" at which are
exposed two OF the most eminent relies OF the
early period OF the late war-the double.bar-
relied shotgun with which Jackson killed
Ellsworth at the Marshall House, In our ceme-
terial suburb Of Alexandria, and the zouaye
musket and bayonet with which Brownell
avenged the death of his commander. These
are loaned 10 the organization by Capt.
Brownell, who is now a resident of Washing
ton.
Tonight the National Guards and the Wash
ington Light Infantry Will visit the fair. To
morrow night the resident army and navy
officers at the National Capitol Will be present.

Smoking.

William A. Hammond in New York Herald.
"What is the best time for smoking?"
Men should never smoke except after
eating, and, preferably, after the labors of
the day arc over. Now, cigar taken af-
ter eating has not only a beneficial, sOoth-
ing effect upon the mind, but it facilitates
digestion, increasing the amount of gastric
juice, as have frequently shown to my
class by experiment. Take dog and make
gastric fstul in him so as to collect the
gastric juice by tube and put q little to
bacco into his mouth. Almost instantly
the gastric juice begins to flow. What
ever excites the secretions of saliva excites
the secretions of gastric juice, SO that a
man actually assists digestion by an after
dinner cigar, provided he is not one of
those unfortunate persons to whom tobacco
is poisonous. Personally, / never smoke
until about p. NJ, after my dinner, and
then smoke five or six moderately strong
cigars from that until midnight, and /
know am wiser, better, and happier
man for it,"
"How can man tell whether tobacco in
jures him or not ~
"If smoking makes man irritable, fret
ful, and he feels as if he would like to jump
out of his skin, it is injurious; but if, after
being worried over some little thing, he
comes to look at it after smoke quietly,
and perhaps laughs at it, then tobacco is
beneficial to him. 1t is highly important
for mankind to pass through life with as
little bother as possible, and tobacco lessons
the tendency to bother and worry"

A Lively Adventures.

Detroit Free Press.
A young woman who was brought up at
Bradford, Canada, without any knowledge
Of her father and mother, was finally taken
to an insane asylum, from which she es-
capped and became an adventures Of the
dme-novel character. First she figured as
an escaped num-" and found lecturing in
that capacity very profitable. Then she
was prosecuted saint from the Protestant
fold, and found that very successful in
vestment. Then she was returned mis-
sionary from China, where she had achieved
immense success in building up the Lords
kingdom. After this she tried to elope
with fourteen-ye old boy, the heir of
considerable property. Then she declined
into consumptive, deceiving, by means of
a red chemical hid in her cheek, the phys
icians themselves, who thought she was
subject to hemorrhages. She has been a
frequent guest at Rideau Hall, the resi-
dence of Lord Lorne, and was detected just
in time to prevent her marriage with a
rich and brilliant lawyer of Ottawa.

District In C0ugreas.

The colored obstructionists who insist upon
the elimination Of the words "white" and ''col-
ored" from the pending District code, gloated
to-day over the failure Of the District in secur-
ing the session Of the House to which 1t was
entitled last night. They claim that 1t was
through their efforts that the District was shut
out, and assert that 1t will continue to be the
case until their aim to get full quorum in the
House to consider their grievance is secured.
AS far as members OF the House District Com.
mittee are concerned, they are sickened ont
with the whole business The lack OF interest
shown shown. in the speedy prosecution of
gress on the part Of our most
prominent citizens is marked. Either they
are thoroughly satisfied with matters as they
are or are too indolent to go the front and urge
their rights. AS remarkable fact, not a Dis
trict delegation, beyond the colored agitators
of the school question, has invaded the Capi-
tol this session. Ordinarily an advance of
District delegations is not desirable AS mat
ters stand now, however, the appearance of
body of solid citizens, with the welfare of the
District at heart, at the Capitol would do no
harm. On the contrary, 1t would have the pos
sible effect OF showing some Congressman that
treatment the District is receiving. Than at
present the prospect for important District
legislation was never moro blue.
The full text of the bill introduced by Judge
Edmunds yesterday, to provide for dover in

they see fit. We are selling "a good,

The April number of this maya

opens with a beautifully illustrated
article, entitled yachting in San

subject, no one is better qualified to
write. This article is from the pop

and will interest hundreds besides
those who reside near the Bay, and
have an opportunity to indulge in
the fascinating pastime of yachting.

of interest to the reader who enjoys
solving a puzzle. The most acute
will find it difficult to determine
whether he is trying to convince
himself that there is no conflict be-
tween religion an science, or whether
he is trying to convince Others that
he has satisfactory knowledge of the

RACE PREJUDICE.

The majority of the opponents of
the Chinese bill found their opposi-
ton upon the belief that Anti Chinese
sentiments arise almost solely from
race preiudices. There is, of course,
some race prejudice in the feeling
partly growing out of the evil effects
of Chinese presence and partly the
prejudice of class who find it nee
essary to their dignity to have some
other class to despise; but race pref
udice was not the origin of the
widely spread discomfort now exhib-
tied on the Pacific Coast at the en-
croachments of Chinese labor. Were
there but few Cinnamon here, there
would be no universal hatred mani
tested merely because they belong
to different race. The opposition
to Cinnamon arises from their COM
petition in the labor market. There
are a few who hate a Chinaman, In
dian, or Negro for the color of the
skin, but as rule they are not Of
the class which is is injured by
labor competition. The proof that
it is the over supply of labor is fur
nlshed by the Chinese themselves,
will prevent competition which they
who wished to see the bill pass, as it
otherwise would have encountered
from their own countrymen. There
is plenty of nonsense about their
immortality, but none about tie H.
jury they do to the labores by reduc-
ing wages. Congressman who had
sentimental reasons for opposing the
passage of the bill should rmember
that questions of philanthropy should
not be admitted in determining the
policy of government concerning
the management of Its internal affairs.
A government should be admins
trated for the benefit of its own citi-
zens and not for that of the citizens
of another, and although the policy
may be deemed selfish by mawkish
people, it is the seltishness that should
be practiced as charity to its own
people. Excluding the Chinese is
but protecting ourselves against COM
petition in labor, and their race or
color has nothing to do with the
ques ton.

IT seems to be accepted as q
self evident truth that Blaine will be
a prominent figure in the campaign
of 1884. He has large following
on the pacific coast and is strong In
many of the Eastern States. 1t has
been suggested that as the lines be-
tween the old parties are daily grow
ing more indistinct for want of any
purely party issues upon which to
divide, if Mr.. Blaine would head a
new movement he would probably be
the successful candidate for the Pres,
idency. The new movement is the
movement of the Native American
element and the new issues will be a
repeal of the Naturalization laws
and stoppage as far as may be of
immigration from all quarters. The
record OF Mr.. Blaine indicates that
his sympathies are with the Native
American movement, and if he will
take the lead in the National organ
ization his success is almost certain.
