Bob Iugersoll visited Washington
last week. After making the capital
his home for many years, he has re-
moved to New York, where he hopes
the profits of his legal business win
greatly exceed the comfortable in
come he derived from the practice of
his profession in the District of Co
lumbia, Ingersoll has many friends
among politicians of both parties and
one OF his admirers is Secretary La
mar The infdel called upon the
Secretary at the Interior Department
and Ingersol, in the course of half
an hours conversation, said scores of
witty things which Lamar, lying back
upon the sofa in his private office,
enjoyed immensely. lngersoll final
~ made some remark in ridicule of
orthodox Christianity. There was a
momentary pause when he finished,
and the Secretary jumped to his feet,
throwing his long hair withan impa-
tient gesture back from his forehead
"lngersoll, 7 he exclaimed, II hope to
hvet see the day when you will come
to this capital city and preach to the
world Christ and him crucifed
With your magnificent abilities and
splendid oratory you could work o
revival such as the world has never
seen. I hope, Bob, to see the day
when this VIII come to pass, and you
could not engage in any grander or
more noble work.
An awkward silence followed and
the infdel appeared to be momen
tarily embarrassed He then told
a story about Cornish miner, who,
not believing in God, sacrificed his
life willingly TO succor fifty of his
comrades imprisoned in mine The
story was not pertinent to the Secre-
tary's remarks and in no sense an an
swer to the appeal Ingersoll seem
ed to appreciate this, and he soon
turned the conversation away from
religious subjects.

The Days OF Washington.

It is rather q pity President Cleve-
land did not study little more close
ly the precedents of the older and
better time, before he permitted the
Democratic dispensers of patronage
who seek to hide their falsehoods
against officers they wanted remov.
cd, to participate in conflict whit he
Senate, in which his administration
must take harm. While Washington
was President, Benjamin Fishbourn
was nominated for naval officer at Sa-
wanna, Georgia, and the Senate re-
fused his continuation. The Presi-
dent responded to the Senate: "Per-
NIT me to submit to your considera
ton whether, on occasions where the
propriety of nominations appears
questionable to you, it would not be
expedient to communicate that cir
cumstance to me: and thereby avail
yourselves of the information which
/ would with pleasure lay before you"
This is an example worthy of being
followed, and much more dignified,
than refusing the information. -Har.

A Modern Narcissus.

One Of the strangest and queer
est sights on the streets of Washing
ton Is a young fellow who dresses in
the most eccentric and extravagant
fashion. lie wears a pair of boots
with heels fully four inches high.
His coat-sleeves are so long that
they cover the tips of his fingers, and
even beyond that he has pair of
enormous cuffs. This young man is
the son of wealthy parents and is
generally regarded as being a triAe
daft. One of his pecularities is a
love with his own figure. He thinks
he is the handsomest man alive. He
rents an office in an uptown building
TO which no one save only a favored
few are admitted. This room he has
arranged so that the walls and cell
ing are entirely covered with mirrors.
Strange stories are told of the
youpIg mans actions in this apart
ment. 1t is said he will remain there
for hours admiring himself, as rehec-
ted in the glass, all the while cutting
up the most extraordinary antics.
On the street he never looks to the
right nor left. He never speaks to

The Crazy King of Bavaria

A correspondent who has been on
a visit in the Bavarian Highlands,
and has met the King of Bavaria on
one of his nightly excursions in the
neighborhood of his mysterious cha
teau of Linderhof, writes an account of
what he has seen to the Vienna Neue
Freie Presse- Hundreds oflaborers
are employed daily in keeping in or
der all the roads in the surrounding
district, removing undue accumula-
tons ofsnow or obstacles Of any kind.
The sudden appearance of the royal
sledge at night in some unexpected
quarter seems like a scene out of q
fairy tale AS it approaches, it looks
ike Golden swan with wings dis
played. Within one may see the pale
faced King reclining on the richly en-
broidered blue velvet cushions. The
interior is lit up by a soft but bril-
liant electric light, which eliminates
everything around to a considerable
distance. 1t flashes by the wonder
ing spectator, who has hardly time to
notice the agraffe Of brilliants which
adcrns the artists hat of the king, or
the uniform of the young aide de
camp who sits by his side.
