WASHINGTON NOTES.
REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.


' WASHINGTON, Jan. N.-The Republican
senatorial caucus committee on the order
oi business met this morning and agreed to

SILVER POOL INVESTIGATION.
WAsHIN iToN, Jan. 27.-At the silver pool
nvestigation today David h. Littler was
recalled and questioned further regarding
the time of Senator Cameron's purchase of
silver and of its disposition. In reply to
Congressman Dingley's inquiry as to the
late of the sale, Mr. LlttIer could not re-
member the exact date, but taking Gamer
un's check of the profits as basis of cal
culation, the dale of the sale must have
been five or six weeks preceding that date,
Or possibly month. His best recollection
was that the silver was sold before the bill
was passed.

HE BOSSED THE PRESIDENT.

Abraham Lincoln was always the
friend of the man who did his duty,
as many a good soldier and official
discovered to his lasting benefit. Mr..
Chittenden, in his "Recollection,"
tells a story that illustrates this fact.
1t was when the president paid visit
to Fort Stevens, when an attack was
expected upon Washington:
a young colonel of the artillery, the
officer of the day, was in great dis
tress because the president would ex-
pose himself. He had warned Mr..
Lincoln that the confederate sharp
shooters had recognized him and were
firing at him, and soldier near him
had Just fallen with a broken thigh.
The officer asked Mr.. Chittenden's
advice, saying that the president was
in great danger.
sWhat would you do with me under
similar circumstances" asked Mr..
Chittenden.
IT would civilly ask you to take a
position where you were not expos
ed'
"And if 1 refused to obey?"
'I would send a sergeant and file
of men and make you obey"
''Then treat the president just as
you would me or any civilian"
II dare not. He is my superior of
ficer. l have taken-an oath to obey
his orders"
''He has given you orders. Follow
my advice and you will not regret it,
81 will,'' said the officer. 81 may
as well die for one thing as another.
If he were shot should hold myself
responsible"
He walkedI to where the president
stood.
''Ir. President" he said, ''you are
standing within range of 500 rifles.
Please come down to safe place. II
you do not, it will be my duty to call
a file of men and make you"
"And you would do right my boy, .
said the president coming down at
once. 'sYou are in command of this
fort. 1 should be the last man to sci
an example of disobedience."
The president was conducted to
place where the view was less extend
ed, but where there was almost nc
exposure.

WHATTLS WISE TO FORGET.

Now let me give yOn list OF some
of the things which will make you
happier if you forget them:
Your neighbors' faults.
All the SANDER you have heard.
The numerous times you have told
a servant how to do things, and the
numerous times she has forgotten.
Try again, and perhaps she will re-
member.
The date of your neighbours new
dress, so that she will not believe,
when for some special reason she has
to wear it a long time, that you re-
member it from season to season.
Forget the faults of some iof your
friends, and remember the tempta-
tions.
Forget the fault-fnding and give a
little thought to the cause which pro
vokes it.
Forget the peculiarities of your
friend, and only remember the good
points that make you fond of her.
Forget any personal quarrels, or
histories which you may have heard
by accident, and which, if repeated,
would seem a thousand times worse
than they are.
Forget that somebody's hair is ugly;
remember only how soft and beautiful
are her eyes.
Blot out, as far as possible, all the
disagreeables of ife-they will come,
but they only grow larger when you
remember them, and the constant
thoughts of acts of meanness, or,
worse still, malice, will only tend to
make you more familiar with them
and to almost grow tolerant of them.
Obliterate everything disagreeable
from yesterday; start out with clean
sheet for to-day and write on it fo1
sweet memory's sake, only those
things that are lovely and loveable-
These are the best rules for peace
full mind and a contented life.

SIT as AllCdys So.o
$ the meadow, with clover sweet,i

Across the meadow with clover sweet,l
7 wandered one evening with weary feet,
For nv heart was heavy, with untold woe,
For everything seemed to go wrong, you kno'.
Twas one of those days,whose cares and strife
Ouite overshadow the good in life
90 lone and sad meath the twilight stars,
I Wandered down to the pasture bars
ia the pasture bars, meath the hillside steep,
Where patiently waited a flock of sheep
For the happy boy, with whistle and shout,
Who was even now coming to turn them out.
Good morning. said he, with boyish grace,
And a smile lit up his handsome face,
He let down the bars; then we both stepped
back,
And I said, ''YOu have more white sheep than
black"
..Xyby. yes - he replied, land didn't youiknow?
More white than black; why, it's always So"
He soon passed on with his flock round the
hill,
Ant down by the pasture fingered still,
Poudering well the words of the lad,
more white than black, more good than bad,
More ioy than sorrow, more bliss than woe;
more white than black and '"tis always so.'
And since that hour, when troubles rife
Gather. and threaten to shroud my life
Or I see some soul on the downward track
1 CRY, there are more white sheep than black
And thank my God that learned to know
The blessed fact, it as GIlCGys so.

The first historical mention OF rings
is in the book of Genesis. Then ring
was not mark of serfdom, nor
mere ornament, but a badge of author
ity We read how when Pharaoh con-
fined the charge of all Egypt to Jo-
seph he took his ring from his hnger
and gave it to the youth as token of
the authority he bestowed upon him.
From pre- historic times slgnet rings
of silver, gold and bronze were part
of the apparel of the Weather Egyp-
tan. and even the lower orders wore
rings of ivory and blue porcelain.
Rings are not mentioned IN Homer,
and do not appear to have been IN
troduced into Greece until later age,
says the Illustrated american Herod-
otus tells us all the Babylonians used
to wear rings, and the fashion soon
spread from the East into Europe. In
the time of Scion every freeman III
Greece wore a signet ring, either or
gold, silver or bronze. To prevent
counterfeits, law was passed forbid
ding any seal w NONR VIZ
impression of any seal ring that he
had cut for customer.
Rings soon became fashionable, how
ever as ornaments, precious stones
were engraved in them, and dandles
wore two or three at the same time.
Their use gradually extended to wo-
men, who wore them of amber and
ivory. The Spartan rings were of iron
as consorted with the stern simplicity
they affected.
The use of talismanic rings appears
to have been general among the an
clients, as charms against disease, per
sonal danger, witchcraft, etc. Med1-
Gated rings were also believed to cure
divers complaints and to counteract
the effects of poisons, etc.
When the hair shows signs of falling, begin
at once to use Ayers Hair Vigor This prepa-
ration strengthens the scalp, promotes the
growth of new hair, restores the natural color
to gray and faded hair, and renderes it soft,

WORDS USED AND UNUSED. takes
a child several years old to acquire

The average illiterate persons never
uses more than from 1000 to 1000 words.
Intelligent persons, even those en-

not make use of more than from 5000

In the Century Dictionary there are
