A FEATURE OF WASHINGTON LIFE.
Manners OF the Gray Headed Old Fellows
at the Nations Capital.

Old men for counsel, young men for war, is
an old saying and we'll illustrated in Washing
ton. Gray haired men are seemingly more
common than young men; our Congress and
departments, are largely made up of ren who
show signs Of maturity the average Senator
is large, heawy-paunched man with gray
hair or bald pate the average Representative
is a man of mature age with more activity and
less ponderosity than the Senator. Why this
should be so have not had time to study out.
There is senatorial style which may be
termed grandiloquent. 1t appears in the
manner, dress and style of the great man
He dresses his gray locks in the most ap-
proved style, and each day poses before his
glass, or spends plenty of time in the hands Of
his barber. Each day is an event or rather
drama in which he regards himself as the chief
comedian. There are some Slouchy old fell
lows like Edmonds who never cast loving
look up at the ladies' galleries, but he is an
exception; then there are modest little men
like Jonas, of Louisiana, and other exceptions.
but they all seem 10 grow big under senatorial
gravity.
congregate, you meet the gray haired fop in
abundance, and what is strange you will see
at the opera or public gatherings, young and
blushing maidens are always clinging to the
old fellows. Young men seem to be below
par al the capital; gray hairs carry off all the
prizes. This does not seem to be
= freak of feminine eccentricity, but
rather law of nature. Inex
perience Clings with condolences TO expert
ence; the Blooming widow captivates where
the maiden fails; the old campaigner with half
a century behind him marches by the callow
youth and takes the citadel Of Cupid without
an effort.
But after all you feel better when you have
left Washington and find yourself in some new
and growing city like hicago, where young
manhood is prevalent, there is less grapdilo-
quence, more vigor, more force, more hope,
more strength, more equality between youth
and beauty. J, ?. N,

wOMAN'S FOOT GEAR.
Diamond-Bu Carriers and Shoes Which
Fit Like Gloves.

Diamond-B Buckle Carriers and Shoes Which
Fit Like Gloves.
Translated from the French for the Evening
Light
A woman's boot ought to be soft, yielding
and easy. 1t ought TO fit the foo. like glove.
A woman who desires to be well shod must,
in the first place, have well-made foot.
Velvet, cloth, prunella and other stiff shoes
make the feet appear broader and longer than
they really are; therefore must be carefully
avolded-no woman having right to diminish
the charms which Nature has given her.
High-heeed slippers cannot be made too
coquettish or too elegant. All kinds of stuff,
embroidery and lace may be employed in
their composition. They may be worn
little large, so as to permit the wearer to
amuse herself by slipping them off and on,
and juggling with them. There are two kinds
Of stockings worthy of we'll turned legs,
namely: silk and Scotch thread. Carriers
should invariably be put above the knee. A
woman who carriers below the knee is not
worthy to live. Carriers should be as elegant
as if everybody could see them. AS regards
these delicate questions, while asking pardon
if my remarks are considered indiscreet, will
quote the reply Of Marquise of the old regime
to one of her friends, who expressed astonish-
ment when she heard her order a pair of
diamond garter buckles. "What is the good
of spending money on things that are never
seem" asked the friend. "Qui sait?" replied
the Marquise, ION pourrait reconteur un inso-

Wants a SiHssf Game.
An EXPERT ON TEE DRINK.

What is drunk?
One of the simp,es. things in the
world, to wit:
Have drink, Tom?"
Don't care if l do. Dick"
Adjournment to the nearest establish

damp merchandise. Tom and Diak.
and possibly Harry. range themselves
along in front of the counter, behind
which the genial couutenancs and gilt
terine diamond of the eorapounder OF
complicated AmeTicanism beams upon
them. Dicks purchase is disposed OF
and placed where the flies won't Get
it, when Tom thinks it behooyes him
TO keep his end up. and repetition of
the several concoosions is ordered.
Here probably appears the only unex
p.sinable point. II Dick had met Tom
about lunch time, when both their
massive iateliects we're conferred on ac-
cad;ng to the demands of hunger. and
Dick had invited Tom in 70 dine. il is
scarcely probable that after the meal
Tom would think it necessary u slap
Dick or the back and ask him {, "have
another dinner Bat even supposinq
the dinner had been & little unsatisfac-
4.
is certainly improbable that, after tire
bones Of the second partridge Law pick
ed upon the board, Dick should decide
they had better ''hava another But in
the case of the drunk" this IS not only
likely but the usual occurrence, and does
not stop with the third repetition. II
gets around to Tom again, and then to
Dick and TO Harry,and then to a newly
found friend, for at this stage OF the
game new friends seem to spring CD al
all corners of the bar. Finally it comes
to pass that Dicks and Toms and Ear-
rvs legs become in some way affected,
and ii is with difficulty they support
their respective owners. and at last give
out entirely and deposit them in COM
piicated lump on the floor. This is the
beginning of the end. If Tom or Dick
were capable of getting their tongues
about enough, they would even declare
they were enjoying GLORIOUS time"
4 little later, after having been led to
the door by the possessor of the same
genial countenancs and glistening dia-
| mond and kindly faced towards their
homes whose location is fixed by said
individual at his own discretion, they
are left to seek the portals a. best they
| may. Still firm in thsir own convic-
tons that it would be impossible to pass
mora glorious night, they concregate
in the gutter to talk over the pleasant
proceedings of the evening. Result, 81
and costs.
This is a drunk, pure and simply.

TWO GREAT GERMAN sEAPORrs.

Bremen, which has hitherto only
been seaport by neme-its outport
being Bremerhaven-has made up its
mind to become one really, by making
a direct canal to tho sea. This IL to be
done by deepening and widening the
River Wese- so that sea-going vessels.
drawing twenty-seysn feet, with 6Oo
feet of keel, can 90 through and meet
and PASS each other with ease. The
difficulties OF the work chiefly exist IN
the fact that the river makes tortu
Gus course, and that it will be difficult
TO straighten it at points where tide
water will materially interfere With the
work. The latter is to be done at An OK
pepse not exceeding SOC 10000 marks,
or 81, SOC, 600, and to be completed with
in six wears. Bremen. although it Is
fifsy miles inland. holds the second
place-and one very near the first, occu-
pied by Liverpool-in American trade,
and is second in rank OF Continental
seaports.
The Senate of Hamburg, Germany.
as recently reported in an exchange,
have had under consideration scheme
for constructing a tunnel under the
Eibe and an elevated railway in that
city. The construction of a bridge in
stead of tunnel is said to be oat of the
question on account of the width and
crowded state of the harbor, and the
author Of the project has designed the
tunnel Of such dimensions as would
provide both for vehicles and foot pass
eucers, and a double track railway for
freight and passengers. This he pro-
poses to effect by building the taanel of
two stories, the road for vehicles and
pedestrians to be in the upper story,
and the line of railway in the lower
story. The estimated cost Of the tun-
mel and railway is ii. 10000, and they
are to be completed in five and half
wears. With its large ports. its vast
docks. it, hundreds of vessels arriving
from all parts OF the globe, Hamburg
presents Q most lively picture of mari.
time activity. In front of the princi-
pal portion of the town, on thu oppo

in conflict with the true intent and pur-
pose of that clause Of the Constitution
which requires that all bills for raising
revenue shall originate in the House of
Representatives, and declaring, further,
that the bill with the Senate amend
ments shall lie upon the table; it also
directs the Clerk of the House to notify
the Senate of the adoption of the fore
going resolution.
Calkins raised a point of order that
the resolution was premature, as the
bill was not before the House.
The Speaker said he did not take the
view that the House did not know what
the bill contained. The bill had been
returned to the House by the official di-
rection OF the Senate. 1t had gone to
the Speakers table and the House had
taken notice of it. 1t had been pro-
