THERE are two men in Washington

THERE are two men in Washington who evidently don't care whether school keeps or not. One of them is NIT.

He has been in the harness as federal ot- ficer going on fifty-one years without IntermIssion, through all the changes from Wings to Democrats and from Democrats to Republicans. The other veteran office-holder is William Hunter, second assistant secretary of State, who entered the public service forty years ago under General Jackson, and has re- mained continuously in office ever since' under Calhoun, Webster, Class, Seward, Fish.

INDIANAPOLIS Times: In this country, famous for its election frauds, none bolisr or more clumsy than the one at Chicago has ever been attempted. The Dsnocratic csnvsssing board knew of tlis fraud, but for the purpose of steal ng United States Senator they refused to take cognizance of it. The Demo cratic party has been crying for reform tr some years, and this is sample oi inc reform it indulges in. Those lnde, pendent Republicans who were too good and pure to vote for Blaine must feel comfortable when they reflect on ths company they have got into.

Iananese Social Life.

In a recent lecture Prof. F.. s. Morse dealt specially with the social eharac- teriStics of the sapaneSe. A most con- spicuous feature of their intercourse with each other is. he said, their po- liteness. No harsh words are ever heard, no eagerncss for selfish advan- tagc. no indifference or forgetfulness of the feelings of others. They do not salute by shaking hands, but by bow ing. unusual consideration or cOrdiali- ty being expressed by proiounder bows or more numerous repetitions thereof The rich people dress their children in the most inferior garments in sending them to school, in order that the feel ines of the poor children, who can get no other. may not be hurt by any con trast. There is no profanity in their language. A trifling mishap or otfenso is not unfrequeutly met among our people with a vOllcy of Oaths; but 8 Japlnese. when wrought up in his feel ings to the highest pitch, never utters any stronger expression than what m our language would be the eXclama- sion. How Vexaii0usr They keep their anUrv passions under control, yet they do not lack iicrceness, but make eXcel- lent soldiers. Their kindness 10 ani- mals is extraordinary. The songs of wild birds are constantly heard in the gardens of great cities. Birds of pas sage alight in the ponds and public grounds of Iokio. and wild deer come down from the mountains and go about freely and unharmed in the streets of denscly populated places The driver of @ vehicle will turn out of his course in the public highway that he may not iniure dog which is sleeping in the middle of the street. Many other facts were given going to show that the Jap anese civilization is. in respect to rec titude of conduct, kindness, sympathy and urDanity. superior to our own Boston AdrertiSsT.

THE Mormons will be represented at
 the national capital this winter by men of considerable ability, backed by i'm mense sums ot money, the object being to defeat all hostile legislation. Tney have great hopes of being able to exert a powerful influence among the Demo crats. One of the first things in all probability that they will have to con- tend with is Senator Hoar's Utah bill, which, it is said, will be urged for passage at the earliest practicable moment. The Mormon problem Is likely to prove one of the most difficult and vexatious questions that will come before Congress for solution.

ACCORDING to the morning luninary, the coalitions of temperature Tn Tue Son afford some singular and striking pecuhsrlties. It claims that, while peo- pie have been complaining of the cold and the CITIZEN has reported ice having been formed, the thermometer has at no time stood lower than the fifties.

THE contest for the office of City Treasurer will be a very interesting one. Two candidates are named who are above reproach, and either of them would be entirely satisfactory. The fact is obvious to every one that the present incumbent, W. E.

 ''l am very much pained to inform you, my lord. that you will have to wait something over an hour before fresh horses can be brought in," re- piled the landlord "How.' violently exclaimed the aObleman, this tO me? My man, I demand horses at once

 ''Ihey were ordered for this gentle man" answered the landlord. pointing to Q tall. slim individual few paces distant.
