Catarrh

Is complaint so common that comparatively
few people are entirely free from it, so insidi-
Gus that it gains firm hold almost before it's
victims are aware of its presence, so danger
Gus as to seriously threaten the general
health, and liable to develop into bronchitis
Consumption.
1t is mistake to consider Catarrh merely a
local trouble. 1t is unquestionably a disease
of the blood, and therefore the right way to
cure Catarrh is to remove from the blood the
impurities which cause and feed it, This is
to be done by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, the
great blood purifier, which effectually expels
all traces of poison and germs of disease.

Organizations Whose Fame Has Extended
From Ocean to Ocean.
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATcH.I
Washington is becoming a club city more
and more every day. The SWEETEST of all is
the Metropolitan Club, to which all the
diplomats and the men about town belong
and the happenings of which seldom get
into the newspapers. The Cosmos Club is a
scientific club and its club-rooms are in the
house which Dolly Madison occupied after
her husbands death. The members of the
Smithsonian Institution, artists and others
belong to it, and it pretends to have a con-
tinuous feast of reason and flow of soul.
The Grid Iron Club is made up of news
paper men. 1t is the daughter OF the Clover
Club of Philadelphia, and is quite as fam
Gus as its mother. 1t gives elegant spreads
once a month and there is hardly a noted
man in the country who has not been dined
at it. President Harrison was one of the
invited guests this winter, but Secretary
Windows death prevented his attendance.
The Six O'clock Clubs another dining club
whose motto is said to be Grub and Cab"
and whose dinners cost 81 a plate. The
Grid Iron dinners cost all the way from Sc
upwards a plate. and though there is plenty
of good wine, there is no drunkenness. The
Navy has it's club and the United States
Service Club is one Of the features of the
capital.

have seized the archipelago, at least once
deserted it; and in the meanwhile the
natives pursued almost without interruption
their desultory caunibal wars. Through
these events and changing dynasties a sim
gle considerable figure may be seen to move
that OF the high chief, a king, Temoana.
Odds and ends OF his history came to my
ears-how he was at first a convert of the
Protestant mission; how he was kidnapped
or exiled from his native land, served as
cook aboard a whaler, and was shown. for
small charge, in English seaports; how he
returned at last to the Marquesas, fell under
the strong and benign influence of the late
Bishop, extended his influence in the group,
was for awhile joint ruler with the prelate,
and died at last the chief supporter of
Catholicism and the French. His widow
remains in receipt OF 60 a month from the
French Government. Queen, she is usually
called, but in the official almanac she figures
as Madame Vaekehu, Grande Chefesse."
His son (~natural or adaptive, 1 know not
which), Stanislao Moanatini, chief of
Akaui. serves in Tai-o-hao as a kind of
Minister of Public Works; and the daughter
of Stanislao is High Chieftess of the south
ern island of Tauata. These, then, are the
greatest folk of the archipelago; we thought
them also the most ~estimabie. This is the
rule in POLYNESIA, with few exceptions; the
higher the family, the better the man-better
in sense, better IN manners, and usually
taller aud stronger in body. A stranger

be seen from the street, they were common
place windows without shutters and with
double easement against the cold, but from
within it was apparent that the tall arches
in the thick walls had been filed in with
a thinner masonry in which the modern
frames were set.
The room received its distinctive char
acter, however, neither from its vaulted
roof nor from the deep embrasures of its
windows, nor from its scanty furniture, but
from the peculiar nature of the many curl
GUS objects, large and small, which hid the
walls and filed almost all the available
space on the floor. 1t was clear that every
one OF the specimens illustrated some point
in the great question of life and death which
formed the chief study of Keyork Arabian's
latter years; for by far the greater number
of the preparations were dead bodies, of
men, OF women, of children, of animals, to

We had been civil; not always that, my
conscience told me, and never anything
beyond; and all this to do is a measure. not
of our considerateness, but of the wan of it

Stanislao walked with my arm and sheltered

The shabby Polynesisn is anxious till he
has received the return gift; the generous is
uneasy until he has made it. The first is
disappointedsif you have not given more
than he; the second is miserable if he thinks
he has given less than you. But generosity
on the one hand, and conspicuous meanness
on the other, are in the South Seas, as at
home, the exception. 1t is neither with
any hope Of gain, nor with any
lively wish to please, thar the ordinary
Polypesian chooses and presents his gifts.

week day, the garden offers a. scene of most
untropleal animation, half a dozen convicts
toiling there cheerfully with spade and bar

bly, lodging me about the corners. The
prisoners dormitory was a spacious, airy
room, devoid of any furniture; its white
washed walls covered with inscriptions in
Marquesan and rude drawings. From this
noontide quietude it must not be supposed
the prison was u~ntenanted; the calaboose at
Tal-o-hae does a good business. But some
of its occupants were gardening at the
residency, and the rest were probably ut
work upon the streets, as free as our scaven-
gers at home. although not so indus
they would be called in like chill

il he is back again, and the shutter decently
replaced, by the hour of call on the morrow,
he may nave met the harbor master in the
avenue, and there will be no complaint, far
less, any punishment.
But this is not all. The charming French
resident, NJ. Delarnelle, carried me one
day to the calaboose on an official visit. In

his legs deformed with the island elephant

rwR1TTEs FOR THE DIsPATcH.i
A great deal of gambling is done In
Washington by prominent men on the sly,
and there are numerous quiet little clubs
whose members never sit down to a game Of
cards without the chips on the table. The
days of faro and roulette have passed, and
it is now only poker. euchre, whist and
other modest games which can be played
with nothing but a deck of cards. Pendle-
tons used to be the great gambling club of
the capital, and IN the days of Henry Clay
prominent men of both parties won and lost
in it. 1t was an elegant place, the dinners
of which were free, and where one was not
asked to play unless he wished.
1t is recorded that one Minister to China
lost his whole allowance for outfit and
travelling expenses here one night and it is
said hat Clay was one of the best poker
PLAYERS who ever came to Washington. 1t
used to be that there was a great deal of
gambling done at the Capitol, but card
playing there is falling into an innocuous
d%esuetude, though during a long night ses-
sion it is apt to break out again, and the
members seek the seclusion that the COM
mittee rooms grant.
When the late Mr.. Wintersmith, of Texas,
was chosen as Doorkeeper of the House, he
received a proposition from a noted gambler
of his own State to establish a brace game
at the Capitol. ave can call it a club
wrote he, land have our rooms in the base
ment. You can catch the suckers and bring
them in, and I will bleed them and we'll
divide the profits" 1t is needless to say
that Doorkeeper Wintersmith did not fall
in with the offer.

sionaries. He had saved two lives at the
risk of his own; like Nathan, he had
bearded a tyrant in his.hour of blood; when
a whole white population fled. he alone
stood to his duty, and his behavior under
domestic sorrow with which the public has
no concern filled the beholder with sympa-
thy and admiration. A poor little smiling
laoorions man he looked; and you would
have thought he had nothing in him but
that of which indeed he had too much
facile good nature.

mostly French officials, German and Scotch
merchant clerks, and the agents of the
opium monopoly. There are besides three
tavern keepers, the shfewd Scot who runs

equivalent. 1t is a pleasant society, and a

Tatooed Himself for Love.
But one man, who was often to be seen
seated on the logs at the pier head, merits a
word for the singularitv of his history and
appearance. Long ago, it seems, he fell in
love with a native lady, a high chieftess in
Uapu. She, on being approached, declared
she could never marry a man who was I'M
tatooed; it looked so naked; whereupon,
with some greatness of soul, our hero put
himselfin the hands ofthe Tahukus, and with
still greater, persevered until the process
was complete. He had certainly to bear a
great expense, for the Tahuku will not
work without reward; and certainly exquis-
lite pain. Kooamna, high chief as he was,
and one of the old school, was only part
tattooed; be could not, he told Us with lively
p~antomime, endure the torture to an end.
Our enamored countryman was more re-
solved; he was tattooed from head to foot in
the most approved methods of the art; and
at last presented himself before his mistress
a new man. The tickle fair one could never
behold him from that day except with
laughter. For my part, l could never see
the man without a kind of admiration; of
him it might be said, if ever of any, that he
had ioved not wisely, but too well.

a farther spring. But the eve did not dis

slim Egyptians, raised at an angle as though

faces softened almost to the expression of

The principal room of Keyork Arabian's
dwelling was in every way characteristic of
the man. In the extraordinary confusion
which at first disturbed a visitors judgment,
some time was needed to discover the archi-
tectural bounds of the place. The vaulted
roof was indeed apparent, as well as small
portions of the wooden flooring. Several
windows, which might have been large, had
they filled the arched embrasures in which

lacking only sight in the unken eyes to be
terrible. There again, s~urmounting a lay
figure wrapped in rich stufs, smiled the
calm and gentle face of a Malayan lady
decapitated for her sins, so marVelously pre-
served that the soft, DARK eyes still looked
out from beneath the heavy, balf-drooping
lids, and the full lips, still richly colored,
parted a little to show the ivory teeth.
Strange and wild were the trials he had
made, many and great the sacrifices and
blood offerings lavished on his dead in the
