Washington Gossip.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The EueninO
Star says President Cleveland, in the
last paragraph OF his letter, read at the
Tariff Reform club banquet in Boston last
night, sounded the keynote of the music
the tariff reformers in the house propose
to march by. The policy the majority of
the ways and means committee propose to
follow, is to reject every alluring over
ture and every deceptive compromise"
They are still full of fight. They do not
expect anything worth speaking OF from
their colleagues in the senate in the short
time that is left them for the discussion of
the senate bill before the vote is taken on
the Dist, and they are preparing them
selves to receive the bill.
The full subcommittee of the senate
finance committee in charge of the tariff
business held a session to-day, going over
the details of the measure as far as they
have now been passed upon by the senate,
aud determining what changes TO propose
when the consideration of the bull is re-
sumed next week. 1t is hardly possible
that the committee will be enabled to
complete their labors before New Years.
Probably it will be necessary to continue
the study OF the measure with a view to
perfecting it until nearly if not quite the
date fixed for by the final vote upon it.
In the house the Indian and sundry
civil service bills are about completed, and
they will be reported to. the full commit.
tee next week. This leaves the fortifca-
tons, army, naval deficiency, agricultural
and post office appropriation bills vet to
be completed. Nearly all are in an ad-
vanced state. and the indications are that
the first month in the new year will see
them all out of the way of the house.

cieLt No man should bow to lady
without completely lifting his hat

facts concerning her would not be
known to the people one might meet,
aud the smoking would to them have
all the appearance Of a dlscourtesy.
When walking with a lady man
lifts his hat to all the people whom she
recognizes and who bow to her,
whether he himself knows them or
not Ia thorOughfarcs a man should
keep at the left of the lady he is walk
ing with, thus protecting he: from the
pressure of the crowd aud leaving her
right hand free to carry her parasol
and lifting her dress. It's an absolute
absurdity for man TO be dancing
around a lady he escorts, changing
the side on which he walks with every
crossing Of the street. In walking or
driving in park or in any place where
you meet the same person again and
again, it is not necessary to bow each
time. A cordial salutation on the first
is quite sufficient.
1t is the ladys privilege to be the
first to offer her hand. Where an in
PRODUCTION is merely for dancing, there
should be no shaking hands-nor in
deed is it usual to shake hands on be-
ing introduced at reception; but a
married lady should extend her hand,
by way of cordial welcome, to her own
guests, and especially to any stranger
brought to her house and presented
by common friend.

Getting Even with the Deacon.


Some weeks since the proprietor of
one of the largest dry-goods establish
mcuts in this city issued an order to
his employees Withdrawing the prjvi-
lcge that they had always enjoyed of
purchasing any article in the store for
their own use at Wholesale price, and
stating that any employee selling on
such terms would be discharged Not
long after one of tie hoor-walkers re-
ported that one Of the girls had sold a
pair Of gloves to another girl at 10
cents discount. The offender was
called up, and, acknowledging the
truth Of the heinous charge, she was
forthwith discharged. A eek or two
after the head bookkceper, a lady who
had been m the store some ten years,
said to the proprietor: "Mr. ---, /

Mercantile Credit.

In Australia a credit of six months
is generally allowed.
In Asia Minor a credit of but two or
three weeks is in most cases all that IS
allowed.
In Italy but little credit business IS
done, and none without good security
being given.
In France four months acceptance
is required to be sent in settlement Of
he invoice,
In Cuba the time fixed for payment
is generally from four to five months
after delivery Of the goods.
IN .he Bermudas accounts are settled
but once year The 50th of June is
the day usually fixed for the pay
ments,
In Austria it is scarcely possible to
do business without very long credit,
which is nearly always one or SIX
months
In England the payment of the price
of goods delivered is required at the
end of three months, dating from the
day of shipment.
In Turkey even objects of prime ne
cessity are sold on credit; and in this
country, as we'll as in Russia, the time
allowed is, in most cases, twelve
months.
In Spain four-iifths of the transact
tons are done on a cash basis, while
in Portugal great liberality is shown,
and quite long credit is usually al
lowed
In China it is not customary to give
credit Money is obtained from lend
ers, who exact an interest of from s to
II per cent Business is nearly always
conducted upon Il cash basis.
In Mexico the large commercial
houses willingly give credit of from
six to eight months, and in the retail
trade longer terms are given customers
in which to settle their accounts.
In Canada settlements are made at
the end OF thirty days, with a discount
of ) per cent Sometimes a credit of
from three to six months is allowed,
but in this case there is no discount.
The consul general Of the United
States at Rio states that one of the
greatest drawbacks to commercial in
tercourse with Brazil lies in the neces-
sity of allowing too long a credit. AT
Rio, as mt Buenos Ayres, minimum
credit is six months.
In Costa Rjca a credit of from six to
twelve months is given in case of mer-
chandise imported from Europe in
order that the goods may be easily and
quickly disposed of. But since this
system of credit has often led to losses
it is now being given up.
In Germany the credit system is
very widespread, the purchasers in
settling their accounts are generally
much longer inFrance than in England
Nearly every commercial and manu-
factaring branch of business has its
own particular terms of credit, and
there is no uniformity in this respect
