Regarding Moustaehes.

A young man who enters upon the
cultivation of a moustache, unless he
be IA descendant of Esau, endures
many trials and much tribulation. 1t
Is not enough that the delicate growth
SO carefully nurtured by the owner,
tails in the hourly examinations to
show any evidence Of thrift and for
wardness, but he is made the gibe and
butt of cynical remarks by those who
having endured like misery, should
be pervaded with spirit of Christian
sympathy, but who, forgetting the
golden rule, lose no opportunity of re-
failing to the aspirant for hirsute
honors the full stock Of contumely ac-
cumulated by them during like per-
iod of hopeless expectancy, The case
of the assistant cashier Of one of our
banks may be cited in proof of the
truth of these remarks. He Is devot-
ing some time and attention TO the
rearing OF a moustache, and while it Is
not luxurious enough to make the
wearer round-shouldered, it is still
fairly visible to the naked eye in any
favorable light. A few days ago he
had occasion to call at the postotiice,
and in an interview with the Major,
the light being favorable, the exis-
tence Of the fair exotic was noticed
and commented on by the Major who
said, "Aha so you are raising a nous
tache, see." The charge was mod
estly admitted by the guilty party and
the interview ended. In q day or
two the assistant cashier again lad
business at the postoffice and as before
met the Major, who Immediately &C.
costed him with the enquiry, "What
for you have shaved your moustache
Off" A sickly smile illumined the
features of the victim In recognition OF
this time-worn joke, as he family re-
piled "Why II hasn't been shaved, it's
there yet; all of it." and at the same
time a stealthy hand sought the field
Of labor for q reassuring caress Of tn,
silken crop. Whereupon, the Msjol
having adjusted his spectacles AND
turned his victim around to the lighI
declared himself mistaken. or course
he knew all the time II was there; b.
knew even II he couldn't see il, tina
money would not induce the weare
to part with II, and yet his heart wa
hard enough to make the day dream
and night study Of another nsn''
heart the play thing of his humor. II
was cruel.

Bismarck and the Poles.

BERLIN. April 15.-Advices from
Zanzibar state that the Sultan has re-
fused to cede to Portuga. the territory
claimed by her and that the Portuguese
consul has. on this account, lowered his
flag and placed the Portuguese residents
under the protection of the German
consul.
Prince Bismarck. in the upper house
of the Prussian Lsndtag, this after
noon, speaking on the government bill
expropriating the land of the
Poles in Posen. declared that
the colonization OF German-Po-
land by the Germans was
a definite act, undertaken by Prussia to
avert the Polish destruction of German
ism and to prevent the inhabitants of
the large communes OF German ances-
try from becoming wholly Polandized,
and a. the history of the past thirty
years showed that they were tending to
become. The government. said the
Chancellor, "must withhold the cancer
like spread OF Polandism. and while il
has no desire to appropriate the Pole,
of themselves. still il does not want to
be extripated itself by the Pol es."

The Payne Bribery.

COLUMBUS. Ohio, April 1.-THE iegis-

gate the charges of bribery in electing
III. B. Payne Senator, in January, 1884,
reported thissevening. The majority
report, signed by three Republicans. is
lengthy, and accompanied by eighty
pages of evidence. the important points
OF which are cited to show that while
none of the members of the present
General Assembly have been conclu-
sively impeached, q case has been
made as to the corrupt methods. and
the testimony fully iustifies that
it be certified at once 10 the United
States Senate for action by that
body in considering Payne's right
to his seat. Most OF the wit
nesses testifying as TO the use
of money were Democrats, some being
ex-members of the Legislature. who
were at the time offered various sums,
notably Representative hahle. who ties
tilted that Senator Ramey offered him
s., 900 to vote for Payne. saying that
was what he (Ramey) got. Evidence
is cited TO show that two banks, where
in Ramey deposited 81 500 each. and
also 70 show large investments at the
time by State Senator Elmer White and
Representatives Mooney, Roche and
others The majority reports somewhat
sensational. and has caused great
stir, by the evidence OF L. A. Russell.
who tells OF the picking up of $50 bill
on the floor of ID. r. Pages room, Page
being Payne's manager, and j. j. Hole,
who told of entering J. Huntington's
room unceremonlously and finding a
stack of bills, more money piled up than
he ever saw in the bank of which he is
director. The committee sets forth
that Huntington, who is one of the di-
rectors of the Standard Oil Company,
was regarded as the purser of the at
legged Payne fund. and as soon as this
committee was appointed he fed to
Cuba and has not been available.
The minority report, signed by two
Democratic members. is devoted TO
arguments TO impeach the most
damaging witnesses. and while admit
ting that there has been many news
paper rumors. and much testimony of
a general nature as to Ihe corruption
and bribery, that there is no direct evil
dence, and that the connecting link is
out in every case, so that they hold
that such evidence should not be Ger
titled TO by the United States Senate to
blacken the character of any man.
Pending the discussion TO print the
reports and substitute the minority for
the majority reports, q recess was taken
until tomorrow morning, and the mat
ter will probably be before the House
all week.

Mr.. Wells, of Kentucky, briefly re

the bill, which. he commended, called for
no appropriation which was not de-

A most critical scrutiny Of the measure
would show that the rivers and

of improvement and were of public i'm

Washington whispers.

WASHINGTON, April i5.-The House
committee on foreign affairs, to-day,
considered the Morrow Chinese bill and
the Chinese indemnity resolution, and.
although no final action was reached.
there was free expression OF Individual
sentiment upon these subjects. The
period fixed for the restriction OF the
Chinese IL the Morrow bill was re-
garded as too long by a number OF the
members of the committee, and there
vas decided opposition developed to that
portion of the bill forbidding the return
OF the Chinese to this country after two
years absence. 1t is held that this por
tiOn is in conflict with the treaty stipu-
lstions, as it would apply to Chinese
who were IN this country before the
consideration of the bill. 1t is probable
that the measure will be amended in
these respects.
The indemnity resolution, in its pres
ent shape. was regarded Objectionable,
as establishing a dangerous precedent,
and there is some disposition to make
cash payment TO China in the guise of
returning an excess OF the indemnity
paid by China to the United States as a
result of the outbreak of 1857. The Cal
ifOrnia delegation urged the committee
TO immediate action, and it is possible
that at the next meeting both measures
will be agreed upon.
The House committee on ways and
means, te-day, decided. by vote of 8
TO l, 10 report favorably the resolution
recommending the abrogation of the
Hawaiian treaty. Messrs. Morrison,
Mills. Hewitt Mcmillan, Harris,
Breckenridge, of Arkansas, May
Kelley and Hlscock voted in favor of
the resolution, aud Representative
Breckenridge, OF Kentucky, cast
negative vote.
