ALEX ANDRIA.
FRIDAY EVENING, JULY %.

MR.. SHERMAN, of Ohio, made speech IN
the Senate Yesterday in favor Of inVestlgat'
ing the charges of fraud In the election o.
his colleague, Mr.. Payne, from the same
State. He spoke OF his speech as the most
UNPLEASANT duty of his life." Those VINO
know Mr.. Sherman best say that his idea o.
duty. from the time he was capable OF IDEAS
unon auy subject, has been to look out for
himself, and to further his own interests re-
uardleas of truth, faith and honor, and TO
sacrifice his dearest friend in order to ad-
vance any purpose that might rebound to
his individual advantage. His assertion
therefore, that bis speech of yesterday was
m unpleasant "duty" is ridiculous to those
who know him. 1t ia also remarkable, Dy
reason of the fact that most men who have
had as much to do with election frauds az
Mr.. Sherman would seduously avoid any
allusion to subjects of that sort. Why, MR.
Sherman was 30 gormed with the infamous
HAYES fraud that to avoid prosecution there
for he actually perjured himself, swearing
he did not know whether he wrote the
Weber letter or not, though that letter
was the most important one he ever wrote
in his life, as by 1t the theft of the vote O
Louisiana was effected, and himsel
made Secretary of the Treasury, by means
of which position, through national BANK
In New York, he became millionaire.

The Evolution of Dining.

A grand dinner is a complicated affair
and has been evolved by ages of civiliza-
ton and culture. Primitive races eat
whatever they can get and whenever they
can get it. Nolnadic tribes with fiocks
and herds establish regular meals and
discover the oldest gastronomic combina-
ton, bread and meat. The peasantry of
civilized nations combine dishes together
to form the square meal" say meat and
potatoes, with a relish and bread and
butter. Cultured people gradually come
to add two courses to this square meal,
one at the end called dessert to aid diges-
ton, the other at the. beginning of the
preliminary course or gusto TO whet the
appetite. But the height is reached in
the grand symposium or banquet of nine
courses: 1. Hors d'euvre. 2 Potage.
3. Poissin. 4. Relieve. s. Entree 6.
Roti. Z. Entremets. s. Sucree. 8.

A Nick in His Boot Heels.

A treasury official who does consider
able railroad travelling says he has made
an amusing discovery which, If properly
carried out, insures unusual care and at
tention from employees on parlor and
sleeping cars. The tourist who has been
initiated is provided with the most com
Portable seat in the dining car receives
special care and attention from the wait
eTs, and is always sure to have lower
berth in the sleeper Should any of his
fellow passengers become jealous at the
marked courtesy shown their comrade
and inspired with curiosity to know why
the distinction is made they have only TO
look at the heels on the shoes of the ia
vorcd one and they will observe that there
is small nick or notch there.
Inspectors or ''spOtters" of the palace
car service are constantly travelling over
the railroads TO see that the passengers re-
ceive proper attention. They do not intend
TO have their connection with the company
known TO the railroad officials, but fire.
Quently the latter drop TO their little
game and stamp them so that they will
be known all along the road. The porter
in gathering up the boots and shoes in
his car cuts nick in the hind part of the
heel of the shoes belonging TO the inspec-
tor, so that the other porters will recog-
nize him as soon as they look at his
shoes. The treasury official in myster-
ious way became aware that nick in
the heel of his shoe would greatly facili-
tate his comfort and pleasure in travel
ing. He tried the experiment and it
worked to his entire satisfaction. He
found he was served with the best provis-
ions the buffet car afforded, his shoes re-
ceived the brightest shine, and although
he had been obliged TO purchase an
upper berth the conductor on the sleeper
kindly placed a lower at his disposal.

And hers hSall he the breathing hahn,

A European Scientists Experiment.

Ihave somewhere read a story Of a Gu
rious experiment, by scientist in Eu-
rope, upon an idiot, wherein it is gravely
related that he took out such brains as he
found, and substituted n curious chro-
nometer-like mechanism, set in the idiot s
skull. This mechanical contrivance
worked so logically, and SO unerringly
guided the actions Of its possessor, that
he gained vast wealth, and a wonderful
asccndency over the minds Of men and
women by the force Of apparent mental
power, but unmiNed with any moral per
ception or control, and became a most
powerful and dangerous man. The Sc
cret was discovered by prying savant,
who robbed the idiot Of his mechanism
during sleep, when the latter relapsed
into his native idiocy. The story is an
ingenious illustration of being pro-
PEELED by n force eXtrinsic To reason.-A.
