THE facts about Senator John l. Mitch
ellis action in dismissing the clerks and
messenger of his committee to make places
for his personal friends and relatives,
whereby they could draw money without
doing work, were CLEANED from the Wash
ington dispatches of Mr.. Charles f.
Towle, of the Boston Trarelier, aud
one of the brightest correspondents
on the Row. We publish this, not so much
to do justice TO Mr.. Towle and ourselves, as
for the benefit of the correspondents who
lifted our article without credit, aud to
catch whom we omttel to give Mr.. Towle
and his paper credit in the first instance.

A CORRESPONDENT writing from Gal
weston, Texas, to San Antonio paper, un-
der date of March A, sadly says:
'1nformation from Washington Is not at all
cheering in regard TO the River and Harblr
bill. II looks very much rs II Galveston will
have TO put her own shoulder TO the wheel be.
fore 20 feet of water is secured on the bar.
Uncle Sam patterns somewhat after Provi-
dence, and helps those who help themselves"
This issppears to be a new idea to the GAL
weston man. Why shouldn't Galveston
put her own shoulder to the wheel =?
Wouldn't this be at once more honorable,
dignifed, decent and honest course than to
continually stand with hat in hand beg
ging the rest of the United States for aid =?
And this applies to all the river and harbor
shriekers.

The subscription thieves of the Evenblg
Yesterday alias the Erening star still lie and
kick. We are sorry for them, but we had to
expose the fact that they have been stealing
from the Government. 1t was duty we
owed the public. Just think of it. Their
regular subscription price is A cents a
month. They charged the Department of
Justice cents month. twas paid. as the
Attorney Generals report shows. Therefore
the Star steal was thirty -one cents month
on each copy furnished that Department.
Hence, they are dirty, little sneak thieves
of the order that slips into Railways and
steals overcoats and other loose articles, aud
whose bolder members "sandbag" uuwary
victims and rob their persons.

Two of the most prominent aspirants for
the Governorship of Indiana were on the
train which met with an accident on the
Pennsylvania line on Monday. Both were
in the same car, and both rivals met with
about the same turning over when the
car was derailed They were Commissioner
of Pensions Dudley and Representative
Calkins. 1t is possible that they were ar
ranging the diagram of their coming cam
paign when the car keeled. Both stand
high in the party in Indiana and their

" Always be sure You are right, then go

circumstance that took place on Ninth
street northwest few nights since. A we'll
known lawyer was standing near the corner
of Ninth and d, when well-dressed and
handsome lady was observed walking in the
direction of where he was standing. As soon
as he saw her he took her to be his own
sweet little wife; but he could not for the
life Of him imagine what his wife was
doing out at that hour os the night.
A happy thought struck him. 1t was to
hide and watch her. So he secreted him
self behind show-window until she pass
ed. She walked about half block, turned
and came back. Finally she walked up to
+ street, the lawyer following.
When Eighth street was reached she
was joined by man, This set the attor-
ney wild with rage. He ran up to the lady,
caught her around the waist, crying:
What are you doing? Where are you
going? Who is this you are WITH"
When, all at once, he got good look into
her face and discovered that it was not his
wife, but some other fellows; he apollo
gized and passed on, wiser man, fully i'm

At the earnest solicitation Of many good
citizens, once more attention is called to
the fact that the streets leading to the
Smithsonian and Agricultural grounds are
inhabited, on the south side of the Avenue
by some of the lowest, vilest and most
loaihsome class Of women on Gods green
earth, around whom the most vulgar and
dangerous class of men in the city
lounge. No lady or gentleman is safe
from insult from them while en- route to

RAvoNINAHITRINIARI the head of
the Mallagasy embassy now in this country,
in response to series of sympathetic reso-
lutions adopted By meeting of the min
listers Of the various Christian denomina-
tions, made manly and pathetic response.
Although published in full elsewhere, we
reprint part of IL here to emphasize the
mounful protest that the dark-sknned
ambassador feels called upon to enter
against the attempt that is making by an
exponent of "the white mans civilization"
to take possession of his country.
He protests that
The leland OF Madagascar Is our land by gift
OF God, and the French have no more rIght-
eous claim upon 1t than they have upon the
United States.
In speaking to you, our Christian friends,
We frankly confess that our present prospects
almost discourage us entirely In the paths OF
enlightment.
II the policy of France be the outcome OF
the white mans civilization, then II were bet
ter for us to remain In ignorance. There are
only too many In our land who wish to do that
already.
Aud SO we trust that the Christian hearts OF
this great republic Will oppose with all their
strength the outrage with which we arc threat
ened.
How can the white man who has stolen
the lhuiah5 heritage consistently inter
fere with a like enterprise on the part of
France? Indeed, when it comes to that,
where is the representative of "the white
mans civilization" that can interfere with
Frances projects toward Madagascar on the
ground on which the Mallagasy envoy
seeks interference without stultiRcation I?
Which one Of them is there that is not now
enjoying the fruits of conquest?
We greatly fear that If Rayoninahitri.
niariyo cannot show the other representa-
tives of ''the white mans civilization
other reasons than the one he so patheti-
cally advances, none of them will fly to the
rescue of his endangered country. They
call such arguments as that he made yes
terday sentimental and will have none
of them.
But let him show the United States, OF
England, that there is any money in keep.
ing the French out of Madagascar and il
will be done. This is business view, and
the white mans civilization, F" despite it;
Christianity, requires, like the feminine
steed, money to make it CO. We trust that
our Mallagasy friend will profit by this dis
interested advice

The Critic was out on the Avenue last
night at pretty late hour. In his rounds
he ran across Paddy intently gazing upon
the moon.

on its back"
"Well, what of it 2"
why, nothing, except it is fixing for the
18th, st. Patrick's day"

Ben Butterworth should be appointed
judge, to fill the vacancy made by lthe
death of Judge White" said prominent
Buckeye Republican last night.
You are right rejoined another ohioan
in the crowd, "but Ben won't get it. His
appointment would he applauded by every
good Republican in the State; but it is my
candid opinion that one j. Warren Keifer
will get it."
"Keifer-K. e-i.f-e.r!" spoke the party,
in amazement.
"Yes, Keifer. 1t was he who did more
than any other man to have White ap-
pointed, and by political right and family
inheritance he ought to get it. OF course,
if you consult the people, it will be Butter
worth, who has thousand friends to each
one Of Keifer's."
But Keifer wouldn't have it, would
he?"
Have it should say he'd jump at it.
He is ruined politically, and this
is. just the snap that would suit
him-some honor, a clever salary and life
position. Why, if he was made judge he
wouldn't have to speak to anybody, except
from the bench, and as long as he got along
with his work he could even damn the
President. Just the thing for Keifer. The
only thing he will stop to think about will
be which place has the more perquisites-
the judgeship, or the position of NJ. c. for
another term. But, mark you, he will
take the judgeship, if he can get it,"

HOrs e-Breaking in japan,

Hokusai, Japan's greatest artist, was
never weary of studying horses and
their funny ways, and of all creatures
japanese horses are the most amusing.
These nags, which wear laced-up shoes
of straw, drink out of a dipper, take
hip-baths of hot water, and stand in
the stable with their mouths tied up
higher than their ears, are broken in to
the pack or saddle in a very rough
way. In Hokusai's days, horses were
never harnessed to wagons, nor did
they draw anything. Theponies were
usually "broken in" in the large open
yards attached to temples. Fires, also,
are usually kindled, and the colts
are driven close to them, so
that they may become accus-
toned to such common sight.
The method of breaking them in
was as follows: The young horse was
duly harnessed, and a man on each
side held a bride to jerk him to the
ris h or left, while another in the rear
beat him with bamboo stick, keeping
well away from his hoofS. Twelve or
more men and boys then took hold of
the long ropes or traces, and lively
shouting began. The horse plunged
and galloped off, expecting to get rid
Of the noisy crew, but soon found that
this was no easy task. 1t was twelve
man power that made him go here and
there, fast OF slow, occasionally stop
ping him short and giving him a tum-
bic. When ut ely exhausted, his tor
mentors led him back TO the stable.
After few such trials the pony was
considered broken. such crude train
ing, though fine fun for the men, ruins
the horses, making them hard-mOuthed
and vicious with both heels and teeth

Street scenes in Oberammergau.

In the Century, Mrs. Jackson has "A
sketch of travel, entitled 1.-THE Village
of Oberammergau," where the "Passion
Play" annually attracts thousands of
visitors. Wequote tie following picture
of Oberammergau life:
The open square in front of tho house
is perpetual stage of tableaux. The
people come and go, and linger there
around the great water-tanks as at a
sort of Bethesda, sunk to profaner uses
of everyday cleansing. The COM
monest labors become picturesque per-
formed in open air, with background
of mountains, by men and women with
bare heads and bare legs and feet.
Whenever looked out of my windows
| saw a picture worth painting. For
instance, woman washing her
windows in the tanks. holding each
window under the running stream,
tipping it and turning it 50 quickly in
the sunshine that the waters gliding off
it took millions of prismatic hues,, till
she seemed to be scrubbing with rain
bows. Another, with two tubs full
Of clothes, which she had brought
there to wash, her petticoat tucked
up to her knees, her arms bare to the
shoulder, bright red handkerchief
knotted round her head, and her eyes
| flashing as she beat and lifted, wiring
ing and tossing the clothes, and fling
ing out sharp or a laughing word to
every passer. Another, coming home
at night with a big bundle of green
grass under one arm, her rake over her
shoulder, a free, open glance, and a
smile and bow to a gay position
watering his horses; another, who had
brought, apparently, her whole stock
Of kitchen utensils there to be male
clean-jugs, and crooks, and brass
pans. How they glittered as she
splashed them in and out She did
not wipe them, only set them down on
the ground to dry, which seemed likely
to leave them but half clean after all.
Then there came a adashing young fellow
from the Tyrol, with three kinds of
feathers in his green hat, short brown
breeches, bare knees, gray yarn stock
ings with pattern of green wreath
knit in at the top, happy-go-lucky
look on his face, stopping down to take
a mouthful of the swift-running water
from the spout, and getting well
splashed by missing aim with his
mouth, to the uproarious delight of two
women just coming in from their hay
making in the meadows, one of them
balancing hay rake and pitchfork on
her shoulder with one hand, and with
the other holding her dark-blue petit
coat carefully gathered up in front,
full of hay; the others drawing behind
her (nOt wheeling it) low, scoop
shaped wheelbarrow full of green
grass and clover-these are few of
any days pictures.

a CLoUDED MIND.

Lu stood behind the little counter
where she passed so many hours of her
life, her fingers resting upon the glass
ofnthe showcase, which she tapped
impatfehtly, while her eyes roved from
Ned Snyder, behind the opposite
counter, TO the door through which
she hoped some customer would enter.
Ned's attention was divided between
leerlng at Lu with his shocking con-
tortions of face, and volunteering va
riouAclownish remarks, each of which
elic ID from their object only move
meft of impatienee, sharper tapping
of the glass with her fingers, but no
word of answer. Finally Ned left
his place, saunterCd around behind
LUIS counter, and endel the maneuver
by thrusting his IA e up before hers.
"Oh, go away, Nel, she exclaimed,
turning from him, "do go now"
What'n l go away for2" he de-
mandcd, creeping up again i'll front of
her face.
$50. because l am tired and you
want to go" this in tone of marked
impatience, which Ned evidently un-
derstoOd that it would net do for him
to disregard. " Go back behind your
own counter, or stay here and III go
there. What do you suppose custom
ers would think to see you acting in
this way?"
Ned hustled over to his own side of
the room before he answered, in a mat
ter-of-fact way:
"Suppose they'd think we ought to
be married."
"Marriei-you foolish fellow Why
do you keep talking such nonsense?"
oval, now tell you there is lots
of folks that talk in that way, whether
you'd think it or not, and course they're
right about it. Tell you one thing
when we be married you don't drive
me round this way; just make up your
mind about that"
The last part Of Neds information
had been volunteered as the door
opened to admit Homer Hardness; and
Lu had seowled silence at the wagging
tongue in vain. But il that young
man who entered had heard anything
of what was being Nsaid he did not In
dicate it by any change of expression,
He greeted the twain with a friendly
word to each, and passed through to
the dining-room. When his footsteps
died away, Lu turned her great brown
eyes to Ned, and said, sorrowfully:
"Ned, why will you talk so, and be
fore people most of all? Don't you
know that 1 don't want you to tall
that way, and you mustn't~
"Mustn't ! Lord, what words you
lusel But you'll get over it some day
won't always feel as bashful."
L A voice from below called Ned, and
he tumbled from sight, much TO LUIS
sAief.
