Ash White, who was a clerk in the
Interior Department for more than
twenty years from Its organization in
1848, remarked to some office seekers
in Washington the other day:
"Never mind, gentlemen; have seen
Abraham Lincoln just as anxious as
you" Glow is that?" asked one.
"Why, when the Interior Department
was created, the new Secretary had
the disposal of the Land Office, and
Abraham Lincoln came to me and
filed his papers. That was back in
1848. His opponent was another lii
Dois man, named Butterfeld. Butter
field was a lawyer who had defended
the prophet, Joe Smith, on charge
of murder. He and Lincoln were
pretty jealous of each s.ther. They
went through all the forms of solicit
ing friends to sign the applications
and watched their chances nervously,
but Butte-feld got away with Lin
coin, Lincoln was very much ex-
cited over his. failure, and when he
came to the Office the last time and
asked for his Endorsements, 5he claim
ed that nearly all his valuable papers
had been stolen. He said that his op-
ponent's friends had committed lar
ceny and therefore stolen march on
him."

ASHION'S FANCIES

Coat sleeves take precedence of al
! others.
There is return of favor to glaze
kid gloves.
Gold beaded white laces are coming
in vogue.
Mantle yisites and Jerseys are things
of fine art.
The skirts Of street dresses are
worn ishorter.
Plush tea gowns are the preferred
wear of London society women.
Cravats are again worn by men,
and red ones are the most in favor.
There is a rage for matching all
parts of dress and all its accessories,
in Paris.
Bodices pointed back and front and
quite long in the waist, are features
IN spring costumes.
Straw hats heavily trimmed with
cloth pinked out on the edges, are
among millinery novelties.
Changable surahs are combined
with velvet broche surahs in dressy
toilets for spring and summer.
Waists grow longer, basques shorter,
collars higher, skirts fuller, hats and
coltfures higher, dress less artistic.
Bodies of ball dresses are some
times so low as to seemingly consist
Of a wide waist belt and two slender
shoulder-straps.
The high coiffures adopted for
evening toilets are dressed with feath-
ers, jeweled combs, diamond headed
pins, and strings Of pearls.
The so-called tailor-made suits of
the incoming season lack the charm
OF simplicity that attached to the Pu-
rltan-like garments of the past.
1t is said that for summer wear
light fabrics will be made, with cor
sages pleated on the shoulders, cross
ed in front and belted at the waist,
the sash or belt having long ends.
The present elaborate style of dress
ing the hair and powdering, it almost
necessitates the use of face powders,
paints, moucheS, or black patches on
the face, and penciling the eyebrows
and eyelashes. '"T1s pity but tits
true" cosmetics were never more in
demand than at present.
Vari-colored, as well as white, hair
powders are worn in London and
Paris, and the hair continues to climb
higher on the head, to fall lower on the
forehead in fringe reaching almost
to the eyebrows, and surmounted by
mass of fiat curls, while the top
and back of the head are arranged in
twists or long curled rolls, with short
curls falling on the nape of the neck

THE NEW COMPOsITOR.
A Machine Which Sets as Much Type

"A Macnlno Wh1ch sets as Much Type

The machine typ-setter, now on ex-
hibltion in Washington, is wonder
full piece of mechanism, and destined
to revolutioniZe the business. A small
gas engine operates number Of these

keyboard being arranged in an ex-
actly similar manner. The operator
sits at the board, and with the copy
in front. plays the keys. The dies, in
stead Of stamping paper, are impress
ed on heated type-metal, which, as
fast as each line is completed, is cut
off and automatically passed out in q
galley. The operator, working leisure
ly, can turn out column of minion
of the size OF the Washington Post,
every hour.
This machine obviates the use of
type in the printing business, and does
away with the compositor of to day.
The work ceases to be laborlOus and
unhealthy, and the cost to the bust
ness is reduced about 80 per cent.

of imprint, and the plan of the COM
pany is to lease the machines, not to
sell them-at rates which will guar
antee this reduction of expense. The
prospectus states the cost of type-set-
ting in the United States comes to
$60,000000 per annum, and that the
sub stitution of this machine will re.
duce the cost to $10,0O0,000.
When it is considered that in addi-
ton to this, the outlay for purchas
ing type will be entirely obviated, one
can form an estimate of the influen CT
the machine will exert upon the
printing business. The capital stocl
of the company is to be increased tt
$10,O00,000, and factories are being es
tablished to supply the trade. Tn,
machines space both lines and col
umns, and are made fer all kinds O

The plan to connect Paris and Lon
don with pneumatic tubes has been
reported tavorably by the French
engineers and submitted to the Gov
eminent. 1t is proposed that two
pneumatic tubes be laid, following
the line of the Northern Railroad
from Paris to Calais, thence across
the Channel to Dover, following the
line of the Southeastern Railroad to
London. Letters could thus be trans
mitted between the two capitals II
one hour. Wagonettes like those
now used to transport kilograms from
Paris are to be used, weighing ter
kilogrammes and capable of carrying
five kilogrammes weight of mai

total cost is estimated at 81, 000,O 0C
The total distance is 475 kilometers.

Til, as / watched, there came from out the
depths

With all the mighty meaning of a sun
a sun grit round by many-peopled worlds,
And worlds as yet not peopled, being young,
Ana worlds long since unpeopled, being CID
As IL sailed past heard its solemn voice
song
OF life and death, of wealth of life,
And eVerouring waste and dearth of life.
Along my course" heard 1t say, lin 'front.'
And all around, above, below my course,
LIE millions such as 1, through endless realms
Of Star-Strewn space. There is no end
10 Gods domain Of suns, and systems ruled
by suns,
No end and no beginning through all time.
But everlasting, mystic, wonderful,
The song OF us sounds ever round the throne
OF Him who reignS Supreme-the Life OF All,
Unknown q ea,evermOre unknowable.

The Texas Senate.

DTcundAh OdA1AOAs
The Senate of the Nineteenth Texas
Legislature has succeeded in making
for itself a reputation of the most I'M
say. ~ kind; it has been guilty of con-
duct unbecomipg to gentlemen and
highly becoming to bIackguards. Its
action has become matter OF record,
and all attempts to whitewash it will
prove of no avail. The Texas Chris
tian Advocate says in the plainest
English, that on the night of the big
row over the gambling bill, that q
number of Senators were drunk, and
that when they adjourned, one OF
them was too drunk to walk alone
and had to be helped down stairs; il
also says that there was large sup
ply of free whiskey in an ante-roon
| and that it was paTtaken of freely b.
the Senate. 1t is not claimed that t
entire Senate was drunk, but mum
Der of Senators were.

Hobbies oftha Hupienists.

There were several dozen of the n.y.
CHEMISTS in council, each with his lndi-
vidual hobby. Each thought all the 9TH
ers were wrong. Each was sure that his
hobby was the only correct one. A
gentleman present said he had taken
Browns Iron Bitters for debility and
dyspepsia, and, though he didn't want
to make. fuss about it, he knew the
use of this great tonic to be better
than all the notions he had heard adj
vanced in the council. One practical
cure is worth thousands of guesses
and notions. Thousands Of happy
convalescents speak gratefully OF
