A WARM CONTEST.

The appointment of Colonel Kelton is
approved here by all except the friends of
Colonel Whipple, the defeated candidate.
The contest between them was very warm.
Kelton had the support of General Scho-
field, Secretary Proctor, General Drumm,
many of the army officers and nearly the
entire corps of newspaper correspondents
here, to whom he has always been kind
and courteous.
Whipple was supported by General Sher-
man, whose Adjutant he was during the
war, and by at least a score of Senators and
Congressmen. 1t was also claimed in his
his behalf that if he had not got the place
now he never would, as in the course of
events he would be retired before Keltor
On the other hand, Kelton deserved the
office by reason of seniority and capable
service.
1t was, in fact, contest between merit
and political influence, and the former
won. 1t is also learned that owing to Sec
rotary Proctor being called away this morn
ing by the sickness of his son, the appoint
ment was at once agreed upon by himself
and the President but the commission has
not yet been issued nor will it be until
Proctor return.

Chinese PeCulinrities.

This is certainly a most extraordinary peo-
pie, and next to nothing of them is known at
home. Here, for instance, are few stories
that have picked up A foreign resident of
Pekin who speaks Chinese well was riding
along the other day and came to an excited
crowd. Drawing near he discovered a circle
of people quietly watching man desperately
attempting to commit suicide by dashing his
head against a wall He dSmounted, re-
strained the man, harangued the bystanders,
and learned that this was a coole who claimed
that his payment for a certain porter's job
was short by ten cash-less than a penny
and as the employer refused to pay more he
was proceeding to take revenge by killing
himself ON the spot, knowing by 50 doing he
would get the other into considerable trouble.
On another occasion u man threw himself
into the canal, but was dragged out SO he
simply sat down on the edge and starved him
self to death, to be revenged against some
body who had cheated him. Again, one day
a man was found murdered on q bridge near
the British legation. The law of China pre-
scribes that murdered body must not be re-
moved till the murderer is caught There
fore it was covered with a mat and left.
Days passed and month and still the rotting
body lay there, till at last the minister who
had to pass it every day, vigorously protested
and it was taken of the bridge and placed a
little further away. Pail Mall Gazette

The Practice of Evasion.

One is not bound to discuss a subject which
is apt to create heat, if not permanent i'll
feeling, and it is by far the wiSCst plan to re-
fuse to have anything to do with such a sub
ject; but once n discussion is begun there
should be an honest, open presentation of the
case on either side, and no resort to that sub
terfuge of evasion, which is the frequent re-
sort when an opponent is getting the better
of the argument To evade a question is to
confess ones inability to answer it, and at the
same time to manifest a lack of candor-some-
thing far more Objectionable and less compli-
mentary to the disputant, who would thus
cover up his mental defect or the weakness
of his side of the case, than the candid ac-
acknowledgement Of his opponents superior po-
sition. An evasion is always understood, and
consequently has not the merit which he who
employs it seeks
Candor, which is the honesty of speech, as
integrity is the honesty of character, should
never be sacrificed for the trivial cOnsidera-
ton of overcoming a verbal adversary, for
it is paying too high a price for the attain
ment of the end desired LAWYERS may
quibblo when upholding the interests of an
other, may employ the techuicalities which
are the weapons of their profession to secure
the verdict for which they labor, but gentle
men cannot bubble without detriment to
their personal character. Argument, when
rightly employed, is a quicllcner of the men
tai faculties, and to be beaten in an argument
more generally proves the weakness of the
side sought TO be upheld than Of the advo-
cate. At any rate, evasion is the poorest
kind of a weapon of defense, and, like a de-
fectivo fire arm, often proves more disastrous
to the user of it than the target.-Boston

THE EVIL EYE.
Some Superstitions of the Old World That
Are Long Lived.

Are Long Lived.
Shortly after his election Plus TX, who
was then adored by the Romans and perhaps
the best loved man in Italy, was driving
through the streets when he happened to
glance upward at an open window at which
a nurse was standing with a child. A few
minutes afterward the nurse let the child
drop and it was killed. No one thought the
pope had wished this, but the fancy that he
had the evil eye became universal and lasted
till his death.
In Carniola if you tell mother that her
baby is strong and large for its age, farmer
that his crops are looking well, or a coach
man that his team is good, all three will spit
at your feet to avert the omen, and, if you
understand the custom, you will do the same
as an act of politeness.
A person who wandered through upper
Carniola and praised everything he saw
would soon come to be considered the most
malevolent of men. In Naples exactly the
same feeling exists. The terms Of endear-
ment which mothers of the lower class use to
their children, and the pet names they call
them, are often so indecent that it would be
impossible to reproduce them in English, and
always so cOntemptuous that they would be
offensive in any other relation.
The we'll known habit of Neapolitans to
offer a guest anything that he may praise
has probably the same origin. 1t is, of course,
now to a very large extent only form of
courtesy; but even now another feeling turks
behind, at least in a good many cases. Your
host has been delighted by your admiration
of his possessions; he would have been disap-
pointed if it had not been so warmly ex-
pressed as it was; but still he is a little afraid
of the i'll luck the kind things you have said
may bring. By offering the objects you have
liked best to you, and receiving your certain
refusal to accept them, he puts them in a bad
. light, and thus counteracts the evil effects of
your praise. He says to fate: You see their
value is not great after all. This superstition,
however, is by no means confined to Naples
or Italy; it is said to be common in China
and Japan and among negroes and red In
dams. Even in England it is not unknown.
In fact in all the countries, when visiting
sick acquaintance, it is little better to say,
Il am glad to hear you are little better to-
day than Il am glad to see you looking so
much better" Nor is the belief by any means
confined to the lower classes. A person who
is highly educated, very intelligent, and by
no means prejudiced in religious matters, was
once asked whether the words acted as an
evil charm or whether they merely foretold
evil. The reply was: II don't know; but |
do know from experience that whenever any
body tells me | am looking well l fall i'll
within three days; and the more intimate l
am with the person that says it the worse the
illness is There may be a connection be-
tween this superstition and that Of the evil
eve-we are inclined to think there is-but
they must not be confounded, as one is often
found in districts where the other is I'M
known.-Saturday Review.
