troubled about their Postmaster, Mr..
Huidkoper. They contend that he has
made a model officer, and that he cannot
be turned out without violating the spirit
Of civil service reform. The Democrats,
however. have been Overhauling Mr..
Huidkoper's record, and they show him
to have been one Of the NEST unblush-

ing the late campaign at meeting OF the
Union League in Philadelphia, he intro
duced a resolution 10 have . committee
appointed to investigate Cleveland's pri-

needlessIy, and hence it seems that Mr..

Cross-Eyed People.

"You would think that a cross-eyed
person would overcome his sensitive
ness, said an oculist, "but he seldom
does. He broods over it. 1t grows on
him. He imagines that everyone he
meets thinks as much about it as he
does, and life often loses all attraction
for him. Did you ever notice cross
eyed man walkp No? can tell one
as far as can see him. 1t imparts to
his gait certain movement peculiar
to the whole class of cross-cycd people.
But it is not altogether bashfulness
which causes him to avoid looking q
person squarely in the face. If he re-
tanned the power of sight in each of his
crooked eyes. as is often the case, it
would do him no good to look the ordi-
nary way. He would be very likely to
miss the object altogether. The lines
of his vision would probably cross a
foot or so before the object was fully
comprehended, and all he would see
would be the faint and shadowy out
lines of pair of ears or the rim of a
hat. The place where the face ought
to be would be dismal blank. Many
bright features are ruined by this fear
full misfortune. Some sensitive victims
never pluck up courage enough to mar
nv. They often become selfish misan-
thropes, grow stingy, and leave o for
tune for horde of straight-eyed rela-
tives who folly ignored them while they
were alive to fight over. Others, with
that natural yearning for the love and
sympathy which are almost universally
denied cross-eyed men, take what they
can get in the matrimonial market.
They spring at the very first chance
which offers. Thus often soulful, but
cross-eyed, aesthetic finds himself joined
to loving, but unsympathetic, help
meet, whose ambition never rises above
the kitchen or tho laundry. He loses
his hopes, descends to tho level Of his
mate, and what might have been tai
ented career is ended on large box in
front of the corner grocery in retailing
neighborhood gossip. Occasionally
you find man with sufficient strength
of mind to live down the malign effects
of strabismus and come out victor.
When once q man has overcome his
diffidence he becomes as bold as sew
ing-machine agent. When he is cour-
ageous enough to look woman OBJ
iquely in the face without stammering
an apology for having been born he
can fairly be said to be superior to his
misfortune. Such man would make q
heroic soldier. Unfortunately, there
are few who can do this. The ordinary
man melts under the affection like o
cake of ice in July sun. "-New York
Commercial advertiser.

Not many farm-houscs. writes cor
respondent Oft Boston J0nrna have
convenient bathroom, nor is it con-
yenient TO arrange one in many old
houses without more expense than the
owner or tenant is willing to expcnd.
Sail tell you how one house is ar
ranged, not far from whore / am writ
ing. The house was so small for the
family that there was no room to spare
for bathroom, but it fortunately had
n good large kitchen. Upon one side
of this Kitchen stands the baih-tub,
cased in with pine boards. Above this
casing is n movable board six or eight
incaes wide, and tho whole is covered
by n smoothly-planed hardwood board
or boards, hung by hinges against the
wall. When the board is let down over
the tub it forms kitchen table about
seven feet long and about four feet
wide. and those not in the secret would
not suspect what is beneath it. When
the table is turned up and the movable
boards taken out the bathing-tub is of
convenient height. A lead pipe carries
the water off through the same channel
that takes it from the kitchen sink.
Here, by the kitchen fire, the members
of the family can take their bath before
retiring for the night, and the delight
of the younger children at q tub in
which they can lie down and splash to
their hearts content is, as their moth
er assures me, something worth wit
Messing, and after the children are of
to bed the older members pay their
tribute to cleanliness. The same lady
assures me that the great kitchen table
is rs handy rs two smaller ones would
be. Of course, this is not as conven-
lent as the regular bathroom, where
the latter can be kept at comfortable
temperature, but we cannot all have
new houses with all the modern i'm
provements, and if we can afford to
make our old ones more convenient for
those who have to do the work therein,
let us do SO. The making of the house
comfortable for those who spend their
days in it should be part of our ev ry-
day work, as much as the fixing up of
barns and other buildings.

"NIAD" ANTHONY WAYNE.
characterization In the Revolution - How
Wayne Dlsobeyed Lafayette.

The dreadful drama of tho Revolu-
ton, says The Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette, was entering upon the last act,
in the spring of 1881, though the foot
sore and ragged contincntals knew it
not. The final storm-burst was entor-
ing in Virginia. Lafayette, in the COM
mand of the Virginia army, was COM
PEELED to evacuatc Richmond before
tho advance of CORVALLIS; and Arnold,
the traitor, at the head of $500 men,
was marching to reinforce the conf
dent royalists.
Meanwhile Gen. Wayne was enroutc
from Pennsylvania to join Gen. Greene
in the Carolinas. But Washington had
ordered Wayne to aid Lafayette, should
the latter need reinforcements in his
resistance to CORVALLIS. Lafayette S
troops were in dispirited and disor-
doTly condition upon the retreat, and
CORVALLIS knew it. In writing of the
pursuit the duke sad 1.-THE boy can
not escape me-"
This ''boyhood'' Of the brave young
Frenchman was source of ridicule
among British officers, and of jealousy
among the continentals. Of the latter,
Gen. Wayne was conspicuous in
stance. His reputation, rank, and
violent temper made him intolerant,
and he never failed to give expression
to his opinions in unmeasured terms.
Wayne was but days march from
Lafayette when he received an order
from tho latter to join and cooperate
with him, indicating therein the route
Wayne's army should take, and the
point where the forces should become
united.
Upon reaching the designated point,
Lafayette was surprised not to meet
