nre as follows;

"The Little Giant" Acts ms Toastmas"
ter at Their Celebration.
Come and see the two Johns and
cultivate their acquaintance" was the
inscription on cards of invitation sent
out early this week. One of these
Johns was Deputy U. s. Marshal ].
Clay Hewes, and the other John Keenan,
of the Riggs. 1t happens that the
birthdays OF these two men fall on the
same date, May 90, the former being
"a and the latter 81.
They concluded TO have joint ami
versary and their unique invitations
brought to their Fourteenth street home
over 100 people last evening. Covers
were spread for 100 and Congressman
Mccarthy of New York acted as toast
master. The occasion was very con
genial and pleasant one and all who
participated will wish the two Johns
many more birthdays.

A CHINESE BRIDE.
The Marvellous Spectacle She Presents
in Her Wedding Dress.


The Marvellous Spectacle She Presents
in Her Wedding Dress.
A writer in the North China Herald
describes the dress worn by Chinese
lady at her wedding, of which he was
witness, as follows: cat length we
were admitted TO inspect the bride,
whose four hours toilet WAS just com
ploted, and marvellous spectacle,
truly, was the figure, seated motionless
In the centre Of the room. Gorgeously
elaborate was her array from head to
foot, the former crowned with a
helmet.like erection of mate
rial resembling turquoise enamel,
wrought into the finest filigree
work, from which projected gilt
tering artificial beetles and butterflies
and other quaint rich ornaments, the
whole surmounted by three large round
tufts of crimson silk, arranged lara
wise. From the brim of this headgear
fell all round strings of pearl and ruby
beads about half q yard in length. Just
visible through these, at the back, were
broad loops of JET. black hair, stiff and
solid as polished ebony and decorated
with artificial pink roses
"Her principal vestment was a long
tunic, whose foundation fabric of Grim.
son satin was scarcely discernible amid
its embroidery Of gold; corner turned
back, lined with emerald satin, revealed
an underskirt paneled in brilliant red
and blue silk, this also profusely
trimmed with gold embroidery. A
belt of scarlet satin studded with tablets
of white carnelian crossed the waist be-
hind. From the front edge of her
head. dress red silk veil fell almost to
the ground, adding much to her prefer
human aspect"

1t Defends Its Rogues.
From he 50. Paul Pioneer Press.

From tie 50. Pom Pioneer Press.
AT least one of these accusations,
which specifically accuses Mr.. Quay of
having appropriated large sum of
money while Secretary of State of Penn.
sylvania, and which rests upon non
political grounds, calls for some rebut-
ting evidence. 1t is not of the sort that
can be met effectively by silence. Mr..
Quay owes it to himself even more than
he does to his party to clear his name
from this aspersion. The talk about
his party standing by him and of his
refusing to draw with under fire is
empty. The party does not want to
stand by him If there is the least sub
stance In this serious accusation.

classical MiIlionaIres.
FROM The Dry Goods CAronicis

From the Dig Goods Chronicle.
The sacred writings tell us that Solo.
mon was immensely rich, that silver was
abundant in Jerusalem, and that in one
year the King received from Hiram 800
talents of gold, equal to $40, 900. 1t
is known that in Assyria there were
large masses of gold, and that Darius
received in tribute from Persia as much
as 16,250,000 In Greece, the wealth
Of Crosus was estimated at $15, 900, 900,
and that of Pytheus at as large q sum.
AT Rome, Tiberius, it is said, left q
legacy of $4,000, 900, and Augustus
obtained by testamentary dispositions as
much as $3.50, 900, 900.
The Washington critic., 1890-05-21
Telling on Himself.


Mr.. Quay's "dignified silence" is be-
coming clamorous and stentorian. His
speechless contempt is shouting with a
voice of thunder. Mr.. Quay may think
be is laying low and saying nothing,
but he is really telling on himself with
volubility which speech cannot attain
to. 1t is not necessary for him to talk
with his tongue-he talks most elo
quently with his mouth shut.

Quay, the EmbezzIer.

From Ne Providence Journal.
Can an Administration which kneels
to him maintain before the people the
sincerity of Its professions of piety and
of It's highest devotion to the honest
administration of the government by
continuing in the, same practice? II
Mr. Quay Is not hurt by a refusal to
deny the charges, and if Mr.. Harrison
continues to stand by him, there will
be some reason for believing, with Mr..
ingalls,, that the publication of politics
is an iridescent dream.

Indigestion

Is not only distressing complaint, Of
itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and tho system enc
feebled, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Broclkway
Centre, Mich.:-
oliver complaint and indigestion
made my life burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to q skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds Of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief Nothing that / took seemed to do
any permanent good until / commenced
the use OF Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla could see an improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with 1t came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength inn
proved each day. and after few
months Of faithful attention to your
directions, / found myself well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me o
new lease of life,"

It's latent heat, leaving the moisture 1t
contained deposited on the outside OF
the glass in the shape Of dew.
The reason why the temperature in
nature never sinks lower than the dew
point is plain. The air coming in con-
tact with the cold earth and plants,
parts with its moisture. This changes
from the vapor form into the liquid
dew, which change results IN freezing
the latent heat contained in the vapor.
Dow is nothing more than heat and
moisture distracted from earth and
plants during the warmer part OF the
day, and given back when the dew point
is reached.
Care should be taken to keep the
small tube closed with cork to prevent
the evaporation Of the ether; if on
blowing into the instrument you find
the temperature to go below 80 degrees
before dew is formed then certainly you
can depend on frost
The instrument can be put on a small
shelf of one of the posts in the summer
arbor, or any out-of-the-way place,
where it can be consulted at any time,
and enable us to make timely prepara-
tions for the protection of plants against
the early frosts liable to occur in early
autumn. Gardening.
