A BRANCH OF LILIES.

A branch OF lilies with their stems up
right
And crowding heavenward, lies in the
moonlight,
With leaves that are not shut at all by
night
Fulled filled OF peace and passion to the
rim.
Each flower grows ardent as the seraphim,
Tranquil as Abraham, when God talked
with him.
Surely they listen what the Spirit saith
No soil is on their senses: with such
breath.
The angles spake There shall be no more

THE FIRST RAZOR,
Early Historical References to tho Custom
at shaving the Face.

The earliest reference To shaving l.
found in Genesis xii, IL. where we read
that Joseph, on being summoned before
the King. shaved himself There are
several directions as to shaving in Lc-
yiticus, and the practice is alluded to
In many otherpart, of Scripture. Egypt
is the only country mentioned in the
Bible where shaving was practced. In
all other countries such m act would
have been ignominious. Herodotus
mentions that the Egyptians allowed
their boards 10 grow when in mourn
ing. So particular were they as to shay
inc at other times that to have neglect
ell it was subject of reproach and
ridiculc. and whenever they intended
10 convey ;hc idea of a man of low con-
dition and slovenly habits the artists
represented him with beard Unlike
the Romans of 4 later age, the Egyp-
tians did not coniine the privilege of
shaving TO free citizens, but obliged
their slaves TO shave both beard and
head. The priests also shaved the head.
Shaving the head became customary
among the Romans about 800 Il. L.
According to Piiny, Scipio Africanus
was the first Roman who shaved daily.
In France the custom Of shaving arose
when Louis Nil. came to the throne
young and beardless, The Anglo.
Saxons wore their boards until. at the,
conquest, they were compelled to follow
the example Of the Normans who
shaved. From the time Of Edward Ill
60 Charles l. beapis were universally
worn. lu Charles It's reign the mus
tacho and whiskers only were worn.
and soon after this the practice of shaw.
ing became general throughout Europe
The revival of the custom of wearing
the beard dates from the time of the

A Little Doubtful.

Delegate Dubois, in private let
ter, says the News Miner, "has ex-
pressed the opinion that democratic
appointees will hold their Offices
until the expiration Of their terms,
unless removed for cause, and that
ne can not consistently urge any
CLAIMS for positions until such ex.
rlration or removal" Undoubted-
ly ofiice-seekers are getting anxious
and are already making demands
on Delegate Dubois for recommen-
cation for appointments, hence the
writing of the private letter.
There will be all kinds of causes
cooked up before the 4th of March
next, and all democrats who have
aound principles at heart should
take "cause' by the forelock and
send in their designations before
s . time, and thus obviate any

West by the gilded youth of the

West by the gilded youth of the
capital. Just imagine what their
feelings must have been. The town
is still laughing about it, but the
youths in question cannot see
where the fun is. It was offered as
explanation or excuse that this lot
got in by mistake, and were not
intended to be sold. But they were
sold and the mistake seems a re-
markable one to make.
Arrangements for the inaugural
ball are progressing finely. The
committee in charge are determined
that it shall eclipse anything of the
kind ever held. They have de-
cided to fix the price of tickets for
admission at IS each. There has
been subscribed to the funds to
conduct the Inauguration $4S, 700.
and fifty civic societies have an
nounced their intention to partici-
pate. The ball will be held in the
Pension building.
1t has been expected that the
President-elect would soon visit
this city, but the report now is that
he will remain in Indianapolis until
the inaugural. A number of his
friends here have invited him to
make his home with them until he
enters the White House, but so far
he has not accepted any of the in
vitations.
Conjectures as to the cabinet are
the all-absorbing theme among pol
itlcians, but there is nothing def
mite to tell yet. General Harrison's
friends are sure of one thing, that
he will not take part in any way in
any party quarrels. Those who
want places in the cabinet must not
get into a squabble over it or their
chances will be gone. OBSERVER.
