that is why travelling Americans look in
vain for an artistic capillary abridger in
London. The American asserts that no.
where but in his native land are true arr
lists with the razor to be found. A shave
every morning is as much part of the
average Englishmsn's toilet as is bath,
or as he calls it, "bawth." An Ameri-
can shrinks from shaving himself, and
somehow considers it thing beneath his
dignity, when he can hire a man to do it.
He performs far more arduous labor,
however, when he blackens his own boots.
To an Englishman nothing is more ln>
sulting than suggestion that he black
ems his own boots. A man may be
blackguard drunkard, may not pay bis
debts, may live by his wits or the want
of some other mans wits, and according
to the English notion may yet be "a gems
tleman:" but let it once be known that he
blackens his own boots and he is expelled
from all decent society. The average
LoRdon AIRY would commit suicide if he
thought he should ever be reduced so low
as TO polish his own shoes. During the
famine in India the caste feeling was so
strong that starving natives laid down
and died by the road side rather than &c
cept bread from one of lower caste than
themselves. We can conceive Of an Eng>
lishman going barefoote III his life rather
than blacken pair of poots.

Mrs, nudlev,s case nm Arai,

New York, April Counsel for Mrs
Lucille Yseult Dudley, the would be assassin
of ODonovan Rosa, made application to
Judge Van Brunt in the court of oyer and
terminer Monday for the appointment of a
commission for the purpose of taking the
testimony Of certain parties in England
The motion also incluled "a stay of proceed
iigs until the return OF the commission from
England. Counsel argued that there were
four witnesses in England whose testimony
would he material AMI neces airy. He had
received word from an English physician
that Mrs. Dudley had been incarcerated in
an insane asylum there Tue motion was
opposed by the pro ecution, the district at
torney stating that inasnuch as he was
ready tn concede that the prisoner was of
unsound mind, lie did not think the appoint
ment Of such commission necessary. To
this Mrs. Dudley's counsel demurrei, saying
that they did not think the mere admission
that she was lunatic, without al! the facts,
would be sufficient to show what the defense
wished to prove. After further discussion
Judge Van Brunt reserved his decision.

took place Monday in the presence of Abdur-
rahman, the ameer of Afghanistan,
the earl Of Dufferin, viceroy of India,
and all the native chiefs, with their
brilliantly uniformed stats The march
past the point of review occupied two hours.
The troops presented a splendid appearance,
and the parade was one of the finest spec
tacles ever beheld in India. The ameer ex-
pressed himself as profoundly imprcs sed
with the power and glory of England, and
acknowledged the sway of the queen. The
earl of Dufferin gave grand banquet in
honor of Abdurrahmau Monday night
The immediate completion of the railway
to Quetta has been ordered. The mahara jah
of Nepaul has offered the services of 1900
picked goorkas, who he says are ready to
march under British officers across the from

AMONG the American public men who
never send their autographs in reply to
requests for the same are Robert Bonner,
Captain Ericsson, Lester Wallack, Perry
Belmont, Secretary Lamar, Senator But
Ter and Mark Twain. In the case of Sec
rotary Lamar this refusal may be the re-
sult.of an indisposition to do any kind of
writing for which he has been noted.
Mark Twain's contempt and enmity for
autograph hunters is so notorious TINT on
his last birthday 200 of his friends by
preconcerted agreement wrote him for his
autograph as a practical joke There is
probably no man in this country who has
80 often been the victim Of the practical
joker as Mark Twain; people seem to
think him peculiarly fit subject to prac
tice on. One autograph hunter was so
persistent in his demands that al last
Mark Twain did send him an autograph
which he had written on type writer.

apprenticeship at the typographical case q.

two years, rising in the meantime to the
position of editor>in-chef. Giving up his
place on the Sentinel, he went back to
Logansport, his early home, and in 1867
became proprietor Of the Pharos of that

INCREASING THE FORCE AT THE
ISTHMUS OF PANAMA.
More Marines and Sailors Shipped for tho
Front-Niatters Growing Worse in
Manitoba-- The Trouble i'm
the Orient.

WASHINGTON CITY, April Z. Commander
Kane has telegraphed from Aspinwall to
Secretary Whitney that everything is quiet
there. Transit across the isthmus has been
stopped by the insurgents, and the telegraph
wires are cut frequently.
Secretary Whitney has ordered $50 ma
rines and 100 sailors to proceed from New
York to the isthmus of Panama by the
steamer Acapulco. Tho same vessel will
carry four Calling guns, two three-inch
pieces and 100000 rounds of ammunition.
Capt McCalla has been ordered to command
the marines and Lieut. Mason to take COM
mand of the artillery.
The entire force is TO be under command
of Admiral Jouett, who is expected to ar
rive at Aspinwall with the Tennessee
Wednesday. Capt B. H. McCaulla and
Lieut.. 7. M. Mason, VINO left Washington
For New York Friday last, have been
ordered to proceed to Aspinwall
With the arrival of the Tennessee at Aspin-
wall the fleet will consist of five vessels, in
Guiding the Tennessee, the flagship of the
North Atlantic station, with twenty-five
guns; the Yantic, with four guns; the
Galena, with eight guns; the Swatara, with
eight guns, and the Alliance with six guns.
There is great disappointment among the
friends of Commodore Kane that he missed
the opportunity recently offered him to bring
his name into prominence They say he has
missed the one opportunity of his lifetime to
distinguish himself. When it comes to the
protection of American interests in foreign
lands, an officer can afford to take very large
chances. Even if he is technically in the wrong
and the government is compelled TO disown
his act and make some sort of apology to
the government within whose jurisdiction he
acted, it will early take some opportunity to
show that it approved of his spunk, even if
it had to disapprove OF his ignorance Of
international law, and the people of the
country would never let an officer
suffer for being too prompt in the vindica-
ton of the nations name or rights. If
Capt. Ingraham had fired into an Austrian
ship in Turkish waters there would have
boon no international law ia justify him,
but he got gold -hitei sword and an enor-
nous amount of popularity for making the
threat, and it was the same with Wilkes and
Others
NEw YORK, April 7.-Active preparations
are in progress at the Brooklyn navy yard
for the shipment of go more marines by the
steamship Acapulco for Aspinwall. The

WASHINGTON CITY, April Miss Ada
C. Sweet, pension agent, has been asked to

there is no reason personal to her or to the
