TIE Japancse House.

The first sight of a Japanese house is
disappointing; tits unsubshntial in an
pearance, and there is meageunrss Of
color. Being unpaintod, it Suggests
poyertys and this, absence ofnaint. with
the gray and often TRAIN stained celor OF
the boards, leads one TO compare if with
similar unpaintel buildings at lone
and these are usually bams.and sheds in
the country, and the houses of tile poor
er people in the city With ones eve
accustomed to tho. bright contrasts of
American houses, with their white. on
light, painted surfaces; rectangular
windows, black from the shadows with
in. with glints of light reelected from
the glass; front door with its prctentious
steps and portioo; WARM red chimneys
surmounting all and q general trimness
of appearance outside, which is by no
means always correlated with like con-
dition withinr-Onc is too apt at the OUT
set to form . low estimate Of a Japan
ose house. An American tinds it diff
cult indeed to consider such "a structure
as a dwelling, When SO many features

house, ON the contrary, there are two OF

WASHING TON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.


Congress has accomplished so
much, during the week, with 50 lit
tie waste Of time in talk and speech
es, that everybody feels disposed to
say "NYell done" and "Do not grow
weary Of well doing" a few weeks
Of legislation, equal in quantity and
importance to that of the past week,
and our law makers would be ready
to desert the Capitol by the first of
June. 1t is predicted, however, that
they will not get away before some
time in August
Some newspapers have been try
ing to incite Congress to industry
by saying that unless more activity
is infused into its proceedings, mem
bers will find themselves here in
Sept, 1856. Bat a question more
important with most of the alleged
statesmen or the Democratic side
Of the House, is whether they will
find themselves in Washington in
December, 1887. They are discus
sing the political situation very ser
iously, and they are very fearful of
losing the House ut the next cleo
tons. The recent local elections in
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Wis
consin, have interested the polite
ians at the Capitol, aud there has
been much discussion of the results.
The blame for the Republican vic
tory is laid chiefly at the Presidents
door Western Congressman say
the Democrats are so disappointed
with the Administration that they
have no fighting courage left.
There is q Democratic Member
from Indiana, Mr. Keimer, who
thinks the bad condition of his par
ty in Congress could be remedied
by caucus. Said he; 1--WE don't

We have an Elite Directory, an in
valuable volume, which we are as
sured is safe guide as regards the
social status of people. The thing,
however, that puzzles me is, how
this information was obtained, and
from whom? What rule has been
followed in writing down Smith

Jones? They hold precisely the

one is taken and the other left. BY

sentences which proclaimed the
necessity for sympathy with the law

as long as the English language.

THE Interests of Labor.
CARROLL D. WRIGHT,
HEAD OF THE LABOR BUREAU At
WASHINGTON.


The great controversy between Capital
and Labor agitates every civilized coun-
try. 1t is replete with danger to the
commonwealth We suffer from it
here, IN strikes, lockouts, and the I'M
told deprivatioRs ofwomen and children
from industrial strife. The controversy
is one that concerns everybody, but
statesmen IN vain apply their powers
to make il appear patent to all the
world that the theory of the common
interests of Labor and Capital is a true
theory. 1t unquestionably is so, but
only the keen vision sees it through
the intervening strife between graspiag
wealth and enmaddened poverty.
The Congress of the United States
has provided for the collection of in
formation bearing on the Labor problem
by the establishment of Bureau IN
Washington, where that eminent stats
tician, Carroll ID. Wright is engaged
in following out the instructions given
him by the Act of Congress under which
he was appointed. These read as fol-
lows: 1.-The Commissioner shall col
lect information upon the subject of
laDOA5 It's iS4dlAcA W "a p4ttlt. El4S AOuIS
of labor, and the earnings of laboring
men and women, and the means of pro-
noting their material, social, intel
lectual and moral prosperity"
Mr.. Wright is a New Hampshire
man by birth He was born at Dun
barton in the year 1910, and was edu-
Gated in the Granite State Before he
had completed reading for admission
to the bar, the war began, and he en-
listed as private soldier. When Lee
surrendered, Colonel he had risen to
command his regiment-W Wright went
back to his law books. Leaving New
Hampshire, in 1867 he made his res
idence in Boston, where he soon became
a prosperous lawyer. His fellow citi-
zens sent him to the State Senate twice
Then Governor Washburn made him
chief of the Massachusetts Bureau of
Statistics of Labor. His appointment
to Washington was well received.
