The Chinese Minister'S Wife.

The wife of the Chinese minister at
Washington is twenty-five years of age.
She is quite petite, weighing only
ninety-four pounds, but is well pro
portioned, and her feet are not dispro-
portionately small she has lately
adopted the dress usual among fash
ionable ladies in Washington, and it is
very becoming to her. She wears a
wine-colored brocaded velvet polonaise,
over a plain velvet skirt of the same
shade. The material is the richest it
was possible to procure. With this
suit she wears hat having long
plumes on each side, and the brim
slightly drooptng in front. She has
shown great interest in the few places
she has visited, and by her own desire
has been in two of the city churches
but only at time when there was nc
service, as Chinese custom forbids a
lady of rank from appearing at pub
lie assemblage.

Forty-Eighth Congress.
SENATE.

At the close of the morning hour the
Senate, on motion of Mr.. Hoar, set down
the bankruptcy bill for Wednesday, January,
10.
Upon motion of Mr. Edmunds, the bill re-
ported by him from the committee on the
judiciary to prevent officers or employees of
the United States from collecting from or
paying to each other money for pontical op-
jects was taken up.
Mr.. Morgan proposed to amend the fourth
section of the bill SO as to forbid contr1bu-
tions by officeholders for political purposes
in any place over which the United States
has exclusive jurisdiction,
Mr.. Edmunds.- includes the D.strlcI
of Columbia and all the Territories.
Mr.. Morgan said his amendment was de-
signed to cover the Territories, and especial
ly to cover the District of Columbia, because
the evil against which the bill was din ected
was more marked there than in any other
place. That was the central point from
/ which those expeditions against the peace
and welfare of the country were conducted.
After debate, Mr.. Morgan's amendment
was rejected-ayes IL, noes ~.
The bill to prohibit the solicitation or pay
ment of political contributions by the gov
ernment employees was passed as 1t came
from the committee.

Rorge and Powder.

The prevalent and increasing short
sightedness of our times is, perhaps,
partly the cause of the excessive use
of rouge and powder. The wielder of
the powder puff sees herself afar off
as it were. She knows that she can
not judge of the effect of her COM
plexion with her face almost touching
its reflection in the glass, and standir g
about yard off she naturally accentu-
ates her roses and lilies in a way that
looks very pleasing to her, but is rather
startling to any one with longer sight.
Nor can she tone down her rouge with
the powdered hair that softened the
artificial coloring of her grandmother
when she had her day. Powder is
only occasionally worn with evening
dress, and it is by daylight that these
dreadful blush reds and whites look
their worst. On the other hand, there
are some women so clever at making
up their faces that one almost feels in
clined to condone the practice in adj
miration of the result. These are the
small minority, and are likely to re-
main so, for their secret is of a kind
unlikely to be shared. The closest in
spection of these cleverly-managed
complecions reveals no trace of art

What will it matter by-and-by,
Whether my path below was bright
Whether it wound through dark or light
Under grey or golden sky,
When look back on it by-and-by?
What will it matter by-and-by,
Whether, unhelped, toiled alone,
Dashing my foot against stone,
Missing the charge of the angel night
Bidding me think of the by-and-by?
What will it matter by-and-by,
Whether with laughing JOY I went,-
Down through the years with glad content,
Never believing, nay, not /
Tears would be sweeter -and-by?
What will it matter by-nnd-by,
Whether with cheek to check I've lain,
Close by the pallid angel, Pain,
Soothing myself through sob and sigh;
"All will be elsewise by-and-by p
What will it matter?--if bright--if I
Only am sure the way I've trod,
Gloomy or gladdened, leads to Coo
Questioning not the how, the why,
If but reach Aim, by-and-by
What will care for the unshased sigh,
If, IN my fear of bliss or fall,
Closely I've clung to Christ through all,
Mindless how rough the road might lie,
Surely He will smooth it by-and-by.
All, it will matter by y-and-by,
Nothing but this-rhat Joy or Pain
Lifted me skywarG--helped to gain;
Whether through reck, or smile, or sigh,
Heaven-home-al in all -by-and-by.

Pacific Coast NabObs,

The st. Louis Globe Democrat thus
gives instances of Pacifc coast
wealth:
The biggest fortunes on the Pacific
coast are those of the Central Pacific
railroad magnates, and Ex-Governor
Stanford is the richest of the group.
His wealth is estimated at SIS 100000;
that is, his yearly income is equal to
the interest on such capital, and his
property is constantly increasing in
value. He owns more than $5,000,000
alone in San Francisco in real estate,
to say nothing of his farms, vineyards,
breeding ranches, etc. The ex-Gover-
nor has but one child, Leland Jr., a lad
of about fifteen.
The richest widow on the Pacific
coast, or in the country for that matter
with the possible exception of Mrs. A.
L. Stewart, is Mrs. Mark Hopkins,
widow of one of the Central Pacific
syndicate. Her husbands estate proved
up to $23,O00,000., and the only two
men in California who could justify on
the widows bond as executrix were
Leland Stamford and Charles Crocker,
two Of her husbands business associ-
ates. They were compelled to justify
in twice the amount of the estate, and
each swore that he was worth $4,000
900. Mrs. Hopkins is an elderly
woman. They had no children, but
had adopted son, whom Mrs. Hopkins
has just married to Miss Crittenden,
a protege Of hers, providing her with
the dot of a princess. Their are other
heirs to the estate, but the adopted son,
"Tim," will get the bulk of it.
The richest young and unmarried
woman on the Pacific coast is Miss
Jennie Flood, only daughter of the
bonanza king. When her fathers in
come from the big silver bonanza was
at its highest he bought $2,5000O0 of
Uniied States four per cents. and gave
them to his daughter outright, having
them registered m her name. He also
gave his son $1,000,000 in the same
securities, but the latter does not
promise well, and the bonds have gone
back to the fathers bank vault for safe
keeping. Miss Jenny is a charming
young woman, rather plain, it is true,
and away out of her teens, but she is a,
good sensible girl, wholly free from
display or affectation. She is deeply
pious, and there has been some talk of
her taking the veil. There was also
some talk at one time of her marrying
"Buck" Grant. Miss Flood only
laughed at the idea, as, indeed, did
young Grant himself. The only one
anxious to bring about that match was
papa Flood, but the young folks
couldn't see it,

sponded.

And then Jack dashed into the
water and walked as quickly as posi-

as he walked off towards the house.

ing by his side.
Harry walked to shore. What fool
he had been. If he had only known
the depth of the water, perhaps he
would not have lost Carrie.
Anyhow, he returned to the city in
the morning; and l can assure you he
never mentioned the little circum-
stance.
Carrie ard Jack were married short
ly afterwards. She said that the sight
of Harry in the water had cleared away
all doubt, and she straightway knew
that she did indeed love Jack!

The Harvest Mouse.

The well-know Harvest Mouse Mic
romyS n,inutuS) is the smallest exam
pie of the mammalia in England, and
nearly in the world. This elegant lit
tie creature is so tiny that, when full
grown, it weighs scarcely more than
the sixth of an ounce, whereas the Or
binary mouse weighs almost an entire
ounce. Its color is very warm brown
above, almost amounting to chestnut,
and below it is pure white, the line of
demarcation being strongly defined.
The color is slightly variable in differ
ent lights, because each hair is red at
the tip and brown at the base, and
every movement of the animal naturally
causes the two tints to be alternately
visible aud concealed.
1t is called the Harvest mouse, be-
cause it is usually found at harvest
time, and in some parts of the country
it is captured by hundreds in barns and
ricks. To the ricks it could never gain
admission, provided they are built on
proper saddles, were it not that it gets
into the sheaves as they stand in the
field, and is carried within them by the
laborers. Other mice, however, are
sometimes called by this name, although
they have no fair title to it; but the
genuine Harvest mouse can always be
distinguished by its very small size
and the bright ruddy hue of the back
and the white of the abdomen. More
over, the ears of the Harvest mouse are
shorter in proportion than those of the
ordinary mouse, the head is larger and
more slender, and the eyes are not so
projecting, so that very brief inspec-
tion will suffice to tell the observer
whether he is looking at an adult Har-
vest mouse, or a young specimen of any
other species.
Mice always make very comfortable
nests for their young, gathering to
gether great quantities of wool, rags,
paper, hair, moss, feathers, and similar
substances.
AS the food of the Harvest mouse
consists greatly of insects, flies being
especial favorites, it is evident that
great agility is needed. Its leap is re-
markably swift, and it's aim is as accu-
rate as that of the swallow. Even in
captivity it has been known to take flies
from the hand of its owner, and tc
leap along the wires of its cage as
smartly as if it were trying to capture
an insect that could escape. In the
airy cradle may sometimes be seen as
many as eight young mice, all packed
together like herrings in a barrel
