No Reflections on Washington.

There is perversity about the men,
DRY which often leads it to play off its
FRANKS upon the man who trusts it. Fol-
instance: if a speaker forgets the speech
he had committed, he is almost certain
to stop just where the failure makes him
ludicrous. The following anecdOte is an
illustration of this irritating fact:
An ambitious man. being elected to a
western legislature. prepared with great
care a speech which he thought would
impress his colleagues and please his
constituents. He waited for a fitting oc-
casion, and then rising, began:
'Mr. Speaker, when | reflect on the
character of General Washington''--
and came to sudden stop. Beginning
again, he said, "Mr.Speaker, when re-
fleet on the character of General Wash
ington'-and again the failure of his
memory brought him to sudden halt.
For the third time he attempted to 20
on, but got no further than Washing

Speakerw exclaimed waggish member.
sit is not in order for member of this
house to be making reflections on the

That shot brought down the house and

From the Boston Transcript
We submit from the Ohio statesman
of May 10, 1858, the brilliant piece of de-
scription writing which won for Mr..
Cox the immortal name of Sunset"
A GREAT OLD SUNSET.
What peculiar sunset was that of last
night! How glorious the storm and how
splendid the setting of the sun! We do
not remember ever to have seen the
opened in the west, with whole hor
lion full of q golden interpenetrating
lustre which colored the foliage and
frightened every object into it's own
dyes. The colors grew deeper and rich
err, until the golden lustre was trans
fused into storm cloud, full OF finest
lightning, which leaped in dazzling zig
Gags all around and over the city. The
wind arose with fury, the slender shrubs
and giant trees made obesance to its
majesty. Some even snapped before its
force. The strawberry beds and grass
plats turned mp their whites" to see
Zephyrus march by. AS the rain came
and the pools, and the cutters
hurried away. thunder roared grandly
and the fire bells caught the excitement
and rang with hearty chorus. The south
and east received the copious showers,
and the west all at once frightened up
In long, polished belt of azure, worthy
of SiciIian sky.
Presently cloud appeared in the
azure belt in the form OF a castellated
city. 1t became more vivid, revealing
strange forms of peerless fanes and ala
baster temples, and glories rare and
grand in this mundane sphere. LII re-

years ago, and now between 45. 900 and
10000 are in constant use, New York
alone having $1,000. 1t is estimated that
for every new mile of railway which is
constructed, passenger elevator is
built. The travel on them is enormous.
The eight elevators in the Equitable
Building in New York carry up and
down daily average of 10000 people,
while several thousand per diem is not
an usual number for large stores and
hotels in our great cities.
In the matter of divorces, Switzerland

for divorce in 1881 was I'LL, as compar-
ed with 1869 in 1890, and the divorces
pronounced i'll 1881 were 9i5, against $3.50

marriages throughout the Confederation

Bare Shoulders and Arms.

| The bachelors club gave another Ger
man on Thursday night, and there was
q fine gathering of all who are promi-
nent in society. Two hundred dancers
were on the floor, and there were as
many more people in attendance as
chaperons, guardians aud spectators.
The place was blaze of light, and the
effect of the crowds, the music, the
dresses and the jewels made it quite
dazzling. Two-thirds of the young la
dies who danced wore white, and pale
tlnts were worn by So many more that
the one or two black and highly colored
toilets were strangely conspicuous ia
that large assemblage. The
rage for decollete dresses
has caused every damsel to bare her
shoulders and arms on such occasions,
and the low corsage is so universally
worn this season that the fashionable
young woman no longer considers her
self properly in full dress unless her bali
toilet has low neck and short sleeves.
Every one, maids, matrons and deb
utantes' have adopted the fashion, and
whether the woman is go or Is, weight
100 or 200 pounds, her shoulders and
arms are equally exposed. The young
woman with neck like gridiron and
shoulders as sharp asa wedge, So as COM
placent in her low corsage as the blowsy
matron whose arms measure twenty
inches at least; and whole consultations
of moles and blemishes do not deter
these people from parading their necks
without any charitable mantle. The ball
corsage is now cut extremely low round
ing down at the back considerable
hnr he oil sc,
merely a trap over the shoulder to hold
the two parts of the dress together, It.
used to be said that Mrs. HAYES visibly
blushed when woman in q low-necked
dress confronted her at one of her re-
ceptions, and during Mrs. Hayes stay in
washington there was actually so much
consideration shown to her preiudices
on the subject that the decollette cor
sage was seldom seen at White House
entertainments. Something of the leaven
then pervaded general society, and the
custom was then chiefly observed by the
ladies of the foreign legations, to whom
the low corsage is a matter of faith and
Unborn tradition. This year all Quaker
scruples are laid aside and low-necked
edict seems to have been promulgated.

/ first came here | went decoliette to
fete, and was quite mortified to find my
self alone in that toilet; but now it is ev-
erybody that wears the low corsage, and
the high corsage and pompadour are
considered too old for young person.
At this last German nearly every lady
on the floor was in low neck, without re-
gard to age, fitness or flesh; and for one
beautiful person who was justified in
wearing a costume there were score
who should have kept their cloaks on,
or pulled their trains up over their poor
shoulders"

Miscellaneous Matters.

An infant under the law wants to az
pear as plaintiff in suit for divorce be-
fore New York court. 1t is a lad OF
sixteen years, and he asks for the APP
pointment of guardian, ad Item, in
order that he may bring the suit.
In an English country newspaper of a
recent date there is printed an advertise
ment which, read between the lines, is
full of pathos. 1t runs as follows:
cam Jones wants to sell her child "a
little girl); it is twelve months old; shall
be sold for FL los to any one who will
be good to it,"
An Illinois doctor sent some medicine
to patient labelled "Calmel-pizen,"
and the County Medical Society talk of
expelling him. What would they have
the man do? Is not the label perfectly
INTEL gib,e. even if it does not meet the
antiquated notions of photography?
Professional jealousy is probably at the
bottom of this affair,
The architects and builders of New
York City are preparing the conditions
for great contlagration, in encouraging
the construction of buildings nine, ten
and eleven stories high; so high that it
is impossible for the fire engines TO
throw water to the top of them. A fire
once started in nest of the altitudinous
buildings will make magnificent bon-
fire.
A scene at Salvation Army meeting
in lCanada is thus officially reported:
One brother says, "My friends l have
been converted four years, but on self
examination tonight l find there is
something wrong in the gging. (Shot
from sister.) Try if it is not lower down
than the rigging. (Another shot.) Try
under the matches, the heart. The
brother says, pray for me my friends.
All kneel; one prays, Lord put his rig
cling right; another, Lord search his
heart and make him right under the
matches; while third prayed, Lord
scrape his keel, if he don't sail well after
that he can't blame the Lord or his mates
either.
There is not an individual, however
learned they may be, who, if he were to
sound his attainments, would not deem
himself ignorant. 1t is only those who
have the most exalted, but, at the same
time, the most false, ideas ofthemselves,
motives of excellence are not raised
very high, who are easily satisfied with
their requirements, and proud of such
things as would to others appear SUBJ
iects of humiliation and distrust of
themselves. A really able man is gem
orally humble; and sense, which is u
jewel, always shines the Brightest.
This is part of a sermon by preacher
in Colorado. The boys understood it:
Boys, you'll find this life like a game
of eeven up. You want to save your
tens and look out for the game, and
never beg when you hold good hand.
Also, recollect in the long run low counts
as much as high, if it is only trump.

A Professional Whipper of Men

than any man on earth ian exalted dis
