THE Japanese man and woman of society
seem to be able to lie all the same as Mclean
man unless when it comes to polite fiction In
this favored land it has long been the custom
for hosts to depreciate their own possessions
though at the same time they feel in their heart
that no other was half so nice. The idea is to be
gently but firmly contradicted by their guests,
who are expected to asseverate that they never
saw anything half so beautiful and lovely. A
japanese does his lying at long range, and when
he sends out an invitation to dinner it usually
begins somewhat thus: 81 beg pardon for thus
insulting you in begging your company at my
house to dinner. The house is small and very
dirty. Our habits are rude, and you may not
get anything fit to eat; and yet hope that you
will condescend to be present with us at 6
o'clock on the 9th of December" On arriving at
the house you find it spotlessly clean, tasty in
arrangement, and the host and hostess affable
The bill of fare consists of ten or fifteen courses
the best the market can afford. All the self
humiliation of the host is the method adopted to
do you honor.

THE Philadelphia Telegraph, under the pre-
tense Of offering friendly advice to President
Cleveland, suggests that he abolish women from
his receptions altogether if a pe.ticoat war can
be avoided in no other way. This is the slyest
scheme yet for getting the administration into
trouble What hope could there be for one poor
man, though backed by seven secretaries, be-
tween woman who wears short hair and holds
advanced views, and another woman who is ac-
customed to have her own way in spite of fate.
What chance, in short, for Mr.. Cleveland be-
tween Elizabeth and Eliza if he precpitates
war? He can depend upon it that whoever may
be abolished, it will not be the women.

there are many reasons, the principal one Of
which is, however, the difference in the nature

nothing for any one unless he can thereby secure
some political strength for himself out Of the

AN ABsENT-MrSDEp SECRETARY.
Instances Showing Lamar's Unftness for the
Place He Holds.

Instances Showing Lamar's Unfitness for the
Place He Hods.
Special to the indianapolis Joainal
WASHINGTON, June 1-When t. O. C. Lamar
was chosen for a seat in the Cabinet he was ac.
cused of absent t-mindedness to degree that
would embarrass the public service. His friends
hastened to his relief and assured the public that
Mr. Lamars head was as clear as a bell and that
his brain power was remarkable.
A short time ago Congressman Dick Towns
hend called upon the Secretary of the interior
and requested him to appointa constituent to
place in the Indian service. Towushend spoke
eloquently and at length upon the merits of his
candidate, and Lamar seemingly listened with
rapt attention. Towpshend occupied, perhaps.
fifteen minutes of the time of the Secretary, and
at the end of his speech said 'Well, Mr.. Sec
retary, what do you think of itl7
Lamar started up and looked at Townsheni
for moment Then he said: s'Oh, All, Yes,
think the bin will pass this week"
Townshend was dumbfounded, and it was fully
ten minutes before he recovered sufficiently to
seize his hat and silently walk from the room.
On, another occasion the Secretary acceded to
the urgent solicitations of number of congress-
men and ordered the appointment Of lady to
minor position in the department. A week
afterwards another delegation came in to urge
the appointment of man to small place He
called in the chief of the appointment division
and directed him to find place for the man.
The lady recently appointed was not competent,
and the appointment clerk saw chance to get
rid of her. He reported that the services of this
lady could be dispensed with, and Lamar at once
discharged her, having forgotten all abo1t her
influence" The man was given her place. The
scene which ensued the next day can be mag
ined. The Secretary was "all tore Up" and pite-
ously begged to be relieved from such predica-
ments in the future But he has forgotten all
about it by this time.
