The president is unfortunate in the
matter of his vacation trips. He gave
serious offence to the committees of the
Ohio Legislature last week. who came
here to accompany the remains Of the
late chief Justice Chase to his old State
ny declining their invitation tOaCcOmpany
the funeral train to ohio, and even to at
TEND the ceremony OF the transfer of the
remains at the cemetery here. The rea-
son the president gave for not attending
AT the cemetery was that he had not re
ccived sufficient notice, and WAS engaged
AZ Il reception and he declined to 20 to
Ohio because he could not spare the time
from his public duties Yet the second
day after he started on a fishing excursion
in all the democratic simplicity of prl-
waite car, to be gone longer time than
was required to have paid the re
SpeCtS OF chief magistrate of the nation
to the memory of the late chief justice
of the United States. He has also this
week gwen grave offence to the people of
Charleston, Sc. who We're already very
sensitive at The apparent neglect Of the
president to show his sympathy with
them in their great misfortune The
president did accept an invitation to 20 To
Richmond, but absolutely declined the
suggestion OF the Charleston committee
that he should extend his trip To Charles
ton. The suggestion that he should do so
was made by some leading democratic
politicians, who understand the temper of
the Southern people, and who are anxious,
for political reasons, that the president
should regain the ground he has lost in
that section. But the president declines
to act upon their suggestion, aud one of
the reasons which he II understood to
have assigned is that if he should do so
those newspapers would claim that they
mad forced him To do it,

JOINT ASSEMBLY.

AT II O'Clock in the morning the fourth
joint assembly of the session convened and
heard the report of the joint committee of
the two Houses to canvass the votes for
county officers. In the afternoon Speaker

AMONG TIE COMMITTEES.

Mr.. Marsh, chairman of the House com
mittee on railroads, has in his hands the
two railroad commission bills of Mr.
Higbee and Gen. Ripley. 1t is probable
that the committee will not meet to dis
cusS them until next week, as II is under
stood that two or hree other bills on the
same subject are soon to be introduced in
the House, and beside these bill to pre-
vent unjust determinations by railroad
companies, similar to the one offered by
Senator StOddard in the Senate yesterday,
Is to pc introduced in the House in a few
DAYS. The railroad committee Will CON
slider these bills together.
The judiciary committee of the House
and Senate already have large number
of bills in their hands upon which they
are hard at work The House commit
tee seems to be united in the opin-
ion that the amount of eNemp-
tions from attachment in trustee
process should be changed Four bills ON
on the subject are now in their hands,
two raising the limit to so, one raising
the limit TO so, and Il fourth fixing the
limit at one months wages in the case of
man, and two months wages in the case
of women. 1t is probable that the com
mittee Will recommend to combine the
money and wages limit in one bill and
report in its favor.
Judge Poland's bill to abolish the idea
of persons having "A illegal settlement"
in town seems in its general puTport to
meet the approval of the House judiciary
committee, and bill will undoubtedly be
passed substituting merely a residence,
which will be defined as meaning IA resi-
dence for period of year or more.

favorable circumstances to have a tough
time. But Mr.. Beck was booked for a speech
on the Morrison surplus resolution on that
day. He wanted to free his mind on certain
points and it was then or never. So up he
got and for about twenty minutes the words
rolled out of his mouth like a torrent, his
brawny fist pounded his desk like the ham,
mer of blacksmith, and his massive head
shook vigorously and emphstically with eve
ry rising infection of his voice. When he
finished he was sight indeed. His collar
had doubled up SO that it looked like a mar
row piece of wet tape tied around his neck.
His shirt bosom was sobbing with perspira-
ton. Great damp patches came through and
exhibited themselves all over the back of his
coat, and his face was as if a heavy rain was
running down it. While he was thinking
how uncomfortably he felt page came and
told him Mrs. Beck was up in his committee
room and wanted to see him. Wondering
what could have brought her from home on
such a day he went up stairs, and was sur
prised to find her taking from valise full
change of nice cool linen. She told him that
she had read in the morning paper after he
left that he was ''going rough-shod" for the
Finance committee amendment to the Mor1i-
son resolution, and as she knew very well
the condition he would be in after he got
through, she had hastened to the Capitol
with what she now handed him. 1t did not
take very long in the privacy of his commit
tee room for him to wash off the damage re-
sulting from his forensic contest and slip
into his clean and we1l-starched linen. He
then walked back to the Senate chamber
prouder than any peacock, and for the rest
of the day his only topic with everyone he
met was the virtues and charms of Kentucky
wives

Andrew Jackson, it is related, was at one
time entertained at dinner by gentleman, +,
and among those present was one of those
people who often find their way into story
books, ETC., as the type of that offensive
class of Americans who are always trailing
their nationality in the dust in the effort to
exalt their individual independence. This
particular gentleman, over the wine and wal
nuts after dinner, in order to emphasize his
own independence of disposition, of which
he was loudly boastful, remarked with rare
exhibition of self-complacence to General
jackson:
'T always voted against you, sir"
The company was naturally rendered
speechless by this unexpected disclosure and
the scene actually looked squally; but Gene
raj jackson put a stopper on the boastful in
dividual and avoided further trouble by
smilingly remarking:
''And I, sir, have always fought the bat
ties of my country that you might enjoy
that privilege"
Another instance of a happy response is
that of an old southern judge-but whether
judge by courtesy or in fact the writer can
not state-who must have had the faculty of
quick aud appropriate reply pretty well de-
veloped if the story related of him is true.
He had been a fierce secessionist, and the
fact was not forgotten when after the war he
re-entered the political arena of his native
State. Speaking at certain place one even
ing in the interest of his own candidacy for
Congress, some one in the audience who evil
IDENTIFY had a good memory inquired
''Didn't you speak here just before the
war?"
81 did," proudly responded the judge.
Arl lr,5f WHY, he
burned Yankees with pop-gunsl"
81 did," replied the unabashed judge,
"but, confound 'em, they wouldn't fight that
way!'

Leaders of Fashion.


While we are wondering what in the world
to do with our dogs those of Paris have ac-
tually ''fashion" article all to themselves
Thus we learn that the "g,iffon'' of the
Countess Horace de Choiseui lives entirely
on the wings of fowls; with other interesting
anecdotage. A ''chien chic" has his tailor
but he would be absolutely degraded if he
patronized any but the artist most in vogue.
Moreover he has, if moving in really good
circles, his 'bather," his hairdresser and his
shaver. The last named requires to be a
real artist; and last autumn we are told the
Marchioness de Belbeuf, who has a passion
for ''caniches," " imported shaver from the
land of Figaro, who is rapidly making for
tune.
The outfit of a full dressed dog consists of
collars, bracelets, great coats, shirts, waist
coats, boutonnieres for flowers and other
things denoted by an ct cetera. Some have
boots, either of india rubber or moroceoS
and the wife of General Turr has made for
her dog, Niniehe, whose ears, poor thing, are
very delicate and no wonder-a white hood
which she (Ninichel wears in wet weather
In order to be ''superchic" the dog must be
either Brobdingnagian or Liliputian; and
the uglier apparently the better. Moppi, the
''carlin' of the Countess de Beauharnais, is
dressed almost always in white cloth embroi-
dsred with gold; SO that with its black face
it is said to resemble Hindoo idol. The
dogs of Nine. de Persigny are always dressed
in red and white-which seems to be the fa-
vorite canine colors. Finally there are dogs
not only superchics. but ''supercoquenchica"
and there even the chronicle of fashion
seems to pause, except to tell us that one,
because she limps little, is called Mile de
Lavalliere. Altogether fashion seems pre-
pairing plenty of work for NJ Pasteur.
