of notice. They are kept at their
studies until they are fifteen years of
age. They then 60 through course
of teaching Ia the pantry and the
kitchen under some member OF the
family, or sometimes under trained
cooks, for year or two years. Thus
they learn to do everything Them
selves, and to know the value of
things long before they commence
housekeeping on their own account,
and, though they may never be requir-
ed to cook a dinner, they become in
dependent of cooks and servants. The
Austrian women are most affectionate
wives and mothers. They are as ac
complished and learned as any Eng
llsh governess, and are as witty in
society as Partisan, and are some of
the most beautiful women in Europe.

NEW SENATORIAL HOUSES.
Handsome Homes for Statesmen i'm
Washington City.
New York World.

There has been a good deal of build
ing in washington during the Sum-
mer> Every year some one Of the
Senators adds house to the number
of fine buildings ia the northwest part
Of the city. 1t is the theory of most
Senators that Senator should keep
house. 1t is considered more dignifis
ed, and it is held that Senator CAN
better represent his State IN a home of
his own in Washington than IN a
boarding house or a hotel. He is
harder te reach and lives in more
dignifed seclusion. Some of the Sena-
tors have built too fine houses, and
that fact has been used against them
ia their campaigns. Two Senators
have built new houses duriag the last
Summer.
The handsomest is that of Senator
Palmer, of Michigan. It is now Just
completed. 1t is upon K street, fac
ing Mcpherson Square. 1t has front
of brown stone and is four stories
by Emerson, of New York, and will
cost, when completed, IN the neighbor-
hood of 100000. 1t is very elaborate
ly finished inside in hard wood. The
house contains nine bathrooms
Every bedroom has it's own bath
room. Senator Palmer is a very rich
man and can well afford to build such
a house. He has always said that he
was not anxious to remain in public
life, but the building of this very
elaborate and solid house looks very
much as if he expected to remain in
Washington.
The second Senatorial house is that
of Senator Edmunds. of Vermont.
The house is situated upon the corner
of Twenty-frst street and MassachH-
sets avenue. It is about two blocks
away from the Blaine house, which
fronts upon Dupont Circle. This
house is peculiar ia it's architecture
as it's owner in his methods of doing
business. The house costs 500,
but it is very modest and unassuming
in its appearance. 1t is style of
house which will be appreciated by
Senators and members. The basement
is diveded into large Office ard an
ante-room, 50 that business callers
upon Mr.. Edmunds can see him with
out entering his house. The second
floor is really the first floor of the
house The wine>room is also next
to the Office, while the kitchen is ia
the back part of the house. 1t is
model house in every way, and is Ia
keeping with the Senator's means and
business.

RECENT POSTOFFICE RULINGS,
Decisions Regarding Certain Third
and Fourth Glass Matter-Com-
Iaints From Indian Territory.

The postoffice department has
ruled that where third and fourth
class matter is mailed and directed to
distant locality not postoffice mad
verSently put in the mails, and carried
away from the Office of mailing, such
matter will be returned and return
postage charged when the return re-
quest is found upon the wrapper. The
claim has been set up by persons in
terested that such matter should u OF
have been sent out from the postoffice
where it was mailed, but should have
been returned to the sender for better
directions. The department holds,
however, that the sender should suf-
fer for his own neglect in not proper
ly addressing the matter.
The postoffice department is in re-
ccipt of number of inquiries relative
made by President Grant IN 1872 for
bidding federal officials to hold state
or municipal Offices presentations
are made that many of the newly ap
pointed postmasters are members Of
boards Of supervisors and aldermen,
o. Aold other small municipal Offices
that do not make heavy demands
upon their time, and pay little or no
salary. In such cases, where the
municipal office does not interfere
with the duties Of the postmaster, it is
urged that the executive order na1ght
be repealed.
COMPLAINTS
are being received at the postoffice
department from Indian Territory of
the workings of the recent decision of
Atty. Gen. Garland to the effect that
Indians are not eligible to appoint
ment to pOstmasters. Many of the
Indian postmasters at the rs offices In
the territory, who are repated to be
intelligent. educated men, have sent
in their resignation. in compliance
with that ruling. In some places it
is found to be impossible to secsre
white men who are eligible ard at the
same time competent to fill these
Offices, and it is feared that the service
may be disastrously effected through
the enforced discontinuance of some
i'm portanI postmasters.

Very Sz, AL Coins.

Sergeant-a at Arms Of the House

seems almost incredible for Ne
yada. The money drawer of the
bar is locked and the money goes
in through small slit over the
box. He is not allowed to charge
for liquor, but if any one drinks,
he slides his contribution to the
Mary Ann" fund into.the hole.
The Senators who made these con-
tributions held their closed hands
over the hole in such xay that it
was impossible to tell the denomin-
alton of the coin, but Bishop in
the lareeness of his heart thought
that it was a five dollar piece each
time. When he came to open the
drawer, however, and count up his
cash he was paralyzed to find that
there were three of the new, bright
five cent pieces there which the
three Senators contributed He

says it would be too mean on any
body to spread such story broad

Ing of five cent pieces and thinks
that Grover Cleveland ought to
have said something about it in his

The Quiet Tewn in . state Of

The Reno Journal gives the fol
towing account of the recent fistic
meeting at the lake:
At Glenbrook the season has al
readay opened with a vigor that
gives promise of a prosperous year.
It is generally known that the lum-
Der metropolis possess a secret So
ciety, the initiatory ceremonies Of
which are as much more lively
than a West Point hazing as is
possible. Last week a tall, raw
boned native of the down-trodden
Emerald Isle went up there in
search of work. He was at once
solicited to join the society, and
he signified his willingness to do so,
but luckily for him, a friend who
had been there" put him onto it,
as it were, and he held aloof. A
particularly forward member was
appointed committee of one to
wait upon him on Monday, and en-
deavor to induce him to join. A
crowd had congregated to witness
the fun, and not relishing the idea
OF being guyed SO publicly, the
new conner picked up plank and
laid the committee cold. Upon re-
covering his consciousness the next
day, the committee waited upon
the belligerant Irishman and pro-
posed Marquis of Queensbury.
The proposal was accepted, and a
ring, composed of every man,
woman, child and dog in town, was
formed. Some of the Glenbrook,
ers who attended the Sleeves
Homes fight say that it was tame in
comparison to this affair. After
Dlsody contest, lasting upwards. of
an hour, the little fellow was
knocked out, and the big Irishman
has been elected full member of
the society, without having to go
through the initiation.
Since the above was in type we
learn that the Journal Etole the
item from the Tribune.

1t is proposed tonight to turn a
another pig loose at the Rink and
allow the skaters to catch it il
they can. The one catching the
pig can take it home. A whole
squad of pretty girls and gay young
dudes, and old rheumatic chaps on
wheels, piling pell-mell after a
creased pig ought to be worth
double the price Of admission.
There will be a display of fancy
hosiery, chinoline and fancy skat-
ing never before witnessed under
one tent. It will be better than
the time of the bear skating, when
the bear got loose and chased
Frank Boskowitz twice around the
room and once across.

the creased pig was made, and
Arthur Wilmot captured the
animal. There is talk Of two
pigs this evening. Grand double

On the last night of the session.
when the hilarity Of the Third
House was at its height, Charley
Stoddard took one Of the colored
attaches aside and asked him if
there was any appropriation bill he
could get through for him. The
darkey scratched his head and said
he would like to return home,
and all he wanted was fifty dollars
to enable him to get back to Geor-
gia. Stoddard told him that if a
Republican Senate refused to pass
the appropriation they would be
showed under with colored voters
in 1886. He drew up a resolution
appropriating $50 for the travelling
expenses of the larkey back to
Georgia. and introduced it IN the
Third House.
The Chair treated the matter
quite gravely and there was some
debate of course. During the de-
bate the darkey seeing that Sena-
tor Poujade was not disposed to
stand in, slipped up and offered
him a dollar to vote and two dollars
to make speech on the aprropria-
ton. This upset Poujade's gravity
and he gave the thing away with
snort.
