Washington Letter.
From our regular correspondent.

Washington, ID. G. Feb. "a, 80.
President Harrison is about as
mad Il man as it would be possible
to find i'm days travel. He has
become fully satisfied that at least
two men, prominently connected
with the administratiOn-Assistant
Postmaster General Clarkson and
U. S. Treasurer Huston have been
abusing him, at every opportunity
and telling other friends that they
intended to resign just as soon as
they could find an opportunity to
embarrass him by so doing. He
also has under suspicion several
other high officials and it would
not be ut all surprising if several
designations were peremptorily de-
munded by him in the near future.
Balloting for the selecting of IL
location for the Worlds Fair will
begin in the House lat. this after
noon or Tomorrow, and be kept up
until the question, is settled.
Chicago will start in the lead, but
your correspondent has the best
of reasons for believing that no
WOld's Fair will be held at either
Chicago or New York, even If one
of them should he selected. The
Senate will kill any measure that
does not locate the fair at Wash
ington, because they fear that its
location at Chicago would mean
the loss of Illinois, or at New York
City, the loss of New York In the
next Presidential campaign. This
is in accordance with boss Quay's
orders before he went on his
Florida fishing trip. Mr.. Mills, of
Texas will make strong effort to
defeat the fair bill in the House,
but he will fail.
The new styles of postage stamps
were placed on sale Saturday by
the Postoffice department. The
Improvement, If there is any, is
hardly visible to the naked eye.

lar Congressional jobs has been the

LOGAN, Feb. 27.-[Special. THE
union committee has ordered a
boycott of all brick from the Col

pany, alleging that that company
has discharged all union men and
given their places to scabs. All

Notice has been given that as
soon as the House finishes with the
Worlds Fair, the contested elee-
tion cases are to be called up.
There are four cases ready. Three
of which the committee have, by a
party vote, reported in favor of the
Republican contestants, and one,
by an unanimous vote, i'm favor of
the Democrats now occupying the
seat.
The investigation of the Civil
Service commission, which was be-
gun last week will he resumed this
week. Ex-Commissionef Oberly is
to be one of the witnesses examin-
ed.
The Chairman of the New York
anti-monopoly league made an ar
gument against Mr.. Wanamaker's
Postal-telegraph bill before the
House Postofllce committee Friday.
He opposed the bill because is pro-
posed to give the business of the
country to- u private corporation.
He said he represented the work
ing people who sent few kilograms
and who would get little If any
benefit if the bill should become a
law, and that the Postoffice depart
ment had more business now than
it could manage satisfactorily
without adding this experiment.
Twelve bids have been made to
the Treasury department. for the
exclusive privileges of taking seals
in the waters contingent to Alaska
for twenty years, and in every one
of them the price named is much
higher than the government now
receives. No award has yet been
made. ~
1t is hinted inside Republican
circles that Mr.. Harrison's trip to
Pennsylvania last week WAS really
for political purpose; he is trying
to capture the state. delegation to
the next Republican National Con-
vention, and while Quay was in
Florida he thought tia good time
to visit the State, and the opening
of the free library at Allegheny
City furnished the opportunity.
The Senators, or rather some of
them, are growing about the news
paper men finding nut everything
they do in secret session, and are
trying to devise means to prevent
it. If they would have their ordi-
nary executive sessions open the
trouble would be ended.
The regular war on, lotteries
which is made in early days of
every session of Congress, by the
introduction of bills, has begun.

One Of Gods Unfortunates.

No invented tale ever spoke to the
heart at once of the cruelty of life and
the beauty Of human compassion as the
story OF Joseph Merrick, the elephant
Man." who died recently in London.
Imagine a human soul clothed in a
body so ~unspeakably frightful that.
seeing it, men turned sick with loath-
ing, and women tainted; a being who
had to be conveyed from place to place
in secret; who hardly dared to venture
abroad even by night; who finding his
fellow creatures fled from him grew
terrified bv the terror he created and
shuddered in dark corners like a hunted
beast.
In 1886 Frederick Treves, a sureeon
OF the London Hope, found Merrick in
a penny peep show. He spoke to him
kindly and for the first time during his
life of "a years Merrick knew the
meaning of kindness. The shock he
received from being treated kindly was
so great that for weeks his nervous sys.
tenn was worked upon. The police
prohibited his show and he went to
Belgium. There again the authori.
ties lntertered with him and his agent
decamped with his money. He was left
destitute in a foreign city where the
igno' 1T mob thought him a fend. ia
returned to London, no one knows how
and sought out Mr.. Treves. The latter
sought to get him into various hospi-
tails but they would not receive him,
Finally a special room was built for
him at the London hospital and here
he lived until his death. While here
he found friends, among them Mr.,
Gladstone and the Princess of Wales
Although his exterior was hideous he
had a tender heart. 1t was oyerfiow;no
with gratitude.

The largest tombstone in the world
monuments erected to distinguished
persons excepted) is probably that of
the late H. Scarlet, of Epson County,
Georgia. Scarlet was very wealthy and
noted for his misanthropic tendencies,
Heled the life Of a hermit. Why no II
knew, but it was limited that he was a
victim of disappointed love. Several
years before his death, which occurred
in the spring Of 1883, he selected a
monster bowlder, a miniature mountain
Of granite, 100 by $50 feet in dimen-
sions, for a tombstone and had it ap-
propriately lettered by a marblecutter.
A cave fitted up as q roomy tomb was
excavated under the huge bowlder,
Scarlet himself experimenting the
work. After his death, neighbors, rela-
tives and friends carried the remains
and deposited them under the rock &C.
cording to his ante-mortem directions.

WHAT Enoch Pratt of Baltimore SAYS
is worth hearkening to: "My advice to
young men who are anxious to advance
in life has always been that when they
can carr five dollars they should saw
and put out at interest II dollar of it.
Money at interest is like a calf of which
an honest old German once told me.
He said that the purchase of that calf
was the best thing he eve did, for the
calf grew just the same whether her

he had paid for her"

The addition of saccharine matter to
mortar enables ~brick-laying to be car
ried on in frosty weather. In addition
to this advantage, mortar with sugar
mixed in it is vastly superior to mortar
without it. It sets as hard as cement
very soon, makes the brickwork ex-
tremely strong, and is quite effective
when used with dry brick. For indoor
plastering, also, saccharated mortar
sets hard quickly. Where portions of
the same wall have been covered in one
part with sugared and in another with
unsugared mortar, the latter has ripped
up directly when a nail was run over it,
months after the former had become
as hard as stone.

He Got In.

The bane Of the average Senator's
life are the requests of his friends and
constituents for tickets of admission to
the Senate gallery when anything of
great interest is going on upon the
floor. In later days, on great occasions,
the Senators have transferred the re-
sponsibility t the Sergeant-at-arms;
about twenty Years ago the whole duty
devolved upon them. Good-natured
men were made miserable by the de-
mands upon them, and it is told of big.
burly Ben Wade that at the impeach-
ment of Andrew johnson all Ohio de-
manded tickets to the chamber.
He distributed his tickets with n law
ish hand, but they gave out sooner han
his constituents. He managed to make
excuse to all but one, an old army
chaplain, who had come from the
northern corner Of the State Just to be
present at the impeachment.
"My tickets are all gone," said Sena.
tor Wade but perhaps I can serve you
in some other way"
"There is nothing else I want" sigh
ed the chaplain, II have heard you are
a generous man, but this is the first
favor l have asked after serving my
country for three years, and besides /
have come clear from Ohio to be pres
ent at the impeachment Of Andrew
Johnson"
The old Senator looked him over
with a merry twinkle in his eye, MOTTO
ing especially the clerical cut of his
coat, and then writing something on a
slip of paper said:
"If that doorkeeper is a Christian,
he cannot resist that plea"
After he got out Of sight, the Ohioan
looked at the paper and on it were
these words:
"For Gods sake, let this man in.
Ben Wade"
Whether it was an imprecation or an
appeal he could not tell. but he wisely
decided to consider it the latter and
passed into the gallery under cover OF
the doorkeeper's surprise at the novel
ticket Of admission. = Washington

Stanley describes the dwarf tribe of

aristocracy in the world, with institu-
tons dating back fifty centuries. They
are ruled by a queen, a beautiful,

ceptionally kind to Stanley and his
comrades. The dwarfs are of olive COM

probably the only homogeneous race in
