Washington Special
The office seekers, who are beginning to flock
back to Washington, express great anxiety as to
the rules which the President will enforce after
his return concerning the reception of visitors
An impression has gained credence that the
President will announce that as nearly all his
time from March to August was devoted to Office
seekers, the greater part of his time will here
after be spent in considering other questions.
1t has been rumored that he will either set aside
only one day per week, or one hour per dav to
the reception of callers, or will refuse TO talk to
the same person a second time in reference to
any particular case. Any of these rales would
crush the men who depend for their success upon
their interviews with the President

A BRAZILIAN CUSTOM.

Wives Incarcerated la Converts While
Their Husbands 60 to War.
CHANGING to speak with the wife of a
naval officer not long since about her ex-
perience in South America with her hus-
band, she told me of a strange and inter-
esting fact with regard to Rio Janeiro,
says a correspondent of the Washington
Sunday Herald. In this city is large
and gloomy convent, built and used for
the purpose of holding the wives of such
members Of the place as might, by duty,
necessity, or pleasure. at any time be
called upon to absent themselves from
their homes. The custom, peculiar and
barbarOus though it may seem, is one
sanctioned by the usage Of years, and
has its origin in the families OF officials
high in power. Should the breaking out
Of war at any distant spot require a
reinforcement Of soldiers from the city of
Rio JaneirO her citizens quickly respond
to the summons, after first taking the pre-
caution of placing their wives safely be-
hind the frOwning, impenetrable walls OF
the convent, secure from harm until the
return of their liege lord and master.
One of the saddest cases on record is
that of young and beautiful woman who
for 20 years has been incarcerated,
never in all this time being permitted
either to visit or see single relative or
friend. In the early days OF girlhood she
was cOerced by her parents into a mar
riage with her present husband, though
knowing at the time that her affections
were already bestowed upon another
Submitting 20 the decree Of her elders,

seems TO have been an insane jealousy
and morbid desire TO be reVenged for an
act wholly inadequate TO the terrible
punishment melted out. shortly after the
marriage, IL 80 happened one
day that the lady's husband
ing TO some one outside. Going quickly
to the easement he beheld the object OF
her salutation to be none other than her
former lover, standing on the opposite
side of the way. Without word OF warn
ing or expostulatiOl 20 bis girlish bride,
the enraged husband caused her 10 be
placed at once in the cOnYent's living
tomb. Since that time - long. dreary
years have passed, and though the lady's
relatives have eXerted every influence
which brains could plan or wealth carry
out, yet all TO no avail.
Repeated statements Of the case have
gone before every tribunal OF the land.
The Emperor, and even the Pope Of Rome,
az the head Of the whole Catholic church,
have been appealed 10 and given the mat
ter their favorable consideration, yet the
only possible open sesame 70 the convent
doors Is word from the husband, which,
despite every persuasion, he sternly re-
fused 10 utter. The peculiar feature OF
the affair is that a woman once placed
within the convent by her husbands order
be she guilty or lnnocent--can be re-
leased again by no earthly power save
that Of her legal superior in the matrimo-
NAL bond.

An Age Of Too Much Reading.

Prof. Blackie says he wishes himself
back in the Middle Ages, when singing
was the only sermon and the minstrel
the only teacher. We are running too
much to books. The people don't
come together anymore. There are no
more grand public reunions Of the
masses. A man buys book or pa
per, and, hurrying home, shuts the
door and reads. Enter family circle
nowadays and man, womSn and child
has his, her or its nose poked down be-
tween printed pages. It's read, read,
read. Absolute silence reigns through
out the house. It's despairing. l
sometimes feel like yelling and demol-
ishing the furniture, when get into
such a solemn-visaged circle, as sort
of counter-irritant. These human read
ing machines are stuffed full of the
sausage meat of literature. When the
world was the wisest it read no books.

In Case Of Accidents,


"And now. ladies and gentlemen, to
conclude, l will show you a very curl
ious experiment. l carefully exhaust
the air In the right-hand chamber Of
this vessel, and then you will see these
two suspended weights exactly counter
balance each other, although the one
is twice as heavy as the other, thus re-
versing the ordinary laws of gravita-
tion."
But something went wrong; and,
while the small weight flew upward
the big one came down with a crash,
and an audible litter went round the
hall as the assenblage dispersed. q q
The young lecturer turned despair
ingly to a white-haircd sage who had
been seated close to the table:
Professor, you know the theory is
true, for you taught it to me, and you
have seen me successfully perform that
experiment in. your own laboratory.
Then how do you account for this mis-
happ" r.l aa.m.a..a.a
my dear boy" replied the scientific
star, "when you have had my experi-
ence, you will know that experiments
are not always to be trusted. The best
behaved in the laboratory seem to take
pleasure in going wrong before an
audience" r....
But l have seen you do that par
ticular one in public, at the Royal In
stitution and other places, dozen
times without the slightest hitch" said
the youth.
YES" admitted the old gentleman,
with curious twinkle in his eve;
"but then you see, invariably took a
little precaution against accidents. I
used always to tie up a heavy weight
with little bit OF string"

Some War "reminiscences published
in the Cleveland Leader record laugh
able practical joke perpetrated upon
Gen. Sherman. The General was vis-
iting the headquarters of Gen. Howard
while at Goldsboro, N. c., and while
there felt the need of a small draught
of whisky to drive off the effects of ma
laria. Gen. Howard's rigid temperance
principles precluded the idea of OBJ
tanning whisky from him, but when
DIR. John Moore, the Medical Director,
came in Sherman gave him the wink
and said: doctor, have you seid-
litz powder in your quarters?" The
doctor said he had. Gen. Howard
said: "Gen. Sherman, it is not neces-
sary to 60 to the DOCTORS quarters; l
have plenty of seidlitz powders here,
and good ones, too. l will get you
one." If there was anything in How
ards quarters that Sherman did not
want it was o seidlitz-powder, and
therefore said to- Howard: "Never
mind, General; give yourself no trouble.
Howard was then getting the powder
and glass of water ready.] Twill be
going by Moore's quarters after a
while" DR.. Moore quickly took in the
situation and became u party to the
joke on Gen. Sherman, to whom he
said: "By the way, General. l don't
think l have seidlitz-powder in my
quarters, and you had better take the
one Gen. Howard has, BY this time
Howard had the powder all ready for
use, and handed the glasses to Sher-
man. Rather than offend Howard by
saying he meant whisky he drank the
foaming stuff, much to his own disgust,
to the satisfaction of Gen. Howard and
to the amusement of the staff officers.
