Terribly Aggravating.

A high official of the government was
in communicative mood to-day. He,
sat, tipped back in his comfortable
Office chair, and said to the IrGUeleT"
correspondent: Il have made a dis.
covery that is worth millions to bashfuI
men. You know there are some fellows
who never can go into ladies' company
without being embarrassed, but have
found out something that will make a,
bashful man the equal of the most self
conscious woman that ever lived. Now
let me tell you my secret. l started
out on the broad, general platform that
woman is more sensitive about her
feet than anything else. Having set
tied that in my mind, l began series
of experiments. The horsecar is my
favorite place. [ love to see a queenly
looking woman get into the car and sit
down with the air of knowing that she
is the best-dressed lady present In
an apparently unconcerned way I at
tract her attention by looking steadily
at her feet, with an occasional glance
at her face. Of course, / avoid all APP
pearance of impertinence. I assume
the air of man who sees something
that interests him. No matter how
calm the victim is when she entered
the car, inside of five minutes she Will
fairly ache to get to her destination.
She may have the handsomest foot in
the world, and know that it is encased
in a nicely fitting shoe, but she will
wilt all the same. It is woman's
weakness. / have tried it on young
girls of sixteen and old women Of eighty
the result is the same Achilles was
vulnerable only in his heel; but you
can't look steadily at woman's little
toe for two consecutive minutes without
making her feel as though she would
like to murder you. "-BOSto71 Tr0UeleT.

MUCH WORK AND SHORT TIME.
Representative Taylor Apologies to Mr..
FIthian, of Illinois.

Representative Taylor Apologies to Mr..
FIthian, of Illinois.
IN the House, on the 10th, e. B. Taylor,
rising to personal explanation, said that
on the 14th in the heat of debate he used
language toward the gentleman from Illinois
(Mr. Fithian) which he was Immediately
sorry for. He had said that that gentleman
had right to make fool of himself, but
not with his (TaylOr's) consent. His words
were unreasonable unparliamentary and
un just. and he apolOgiZed to the House and
the gentleman, and regretted exceedingly
that he was under excitement at the moment
and was induced to make use Of them. Mr..
Fithan, after hearing the manly state
ment of Mr. Taylor, accepted the apology
in the same spirit in which it
ha0 been made. The conference on
the army Appropriation bill was then
adopted, and Immediately there
after the House went into committee of the
whole on the Indian appropriation BILL In
the Senate, the credentials of SenatO or
Jones, of Nevada, and Mitchell, of Ore gon,
for terms beginning the 4th of March next,
were fled. The conference report on the
Notifications bill was agreed to, and Mr.,
Mcconnell addressed the Senate in advo-
cacy OF his bill, directing the proceedings
OF condemnation against the Union and
Central Pacific Roads. 1t was referred. The
diplomatic and consular bill was then
taken up and several committee amend
mentS agreed to. Work is so pressing, and
time so short that it is not likely any adj
iournment will be had on the days of the
funerals of Admiral Porter and General
Sherman.

Short i'll His Accounts.

vile, Ind, First National Bank, is a de-
faulter in a large sum. The discovery was
made during Mr.. Ritters confinement at

and his Irregularities were covered up by
most ingenious system of false entries which
almost defied investigation. The exact
amount of his shortage is not known. An APP
Proclamation fixes the total in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. The cause of his downfall
is believed to be his ambition to make
money. He is the head of the Schmidt music

of the same in Terre Haute and Washing
ton, Indiana, and Greensboro, Ky. Those
houses have been badly managed and have
been continual drain upon him.

ms LAST MARCH COMPLETED.

His Last.

His Last.
General William Tecunseh Sherman,
after a brave struggle for life, is dead. He
passed peacefully and pain1essly away in
the presence of his family and few
close friends. The change which marked
the approach of the end was so slight that
at first even the physicians failed to
grasp its meaning The General was
unconscious for some time before his
death. He did not suffer any pain.
His respirations grew weaker until they
ceased entirely. The end came so easily
that for a moment it was not possible to re-
alize that he was dead Dispatches were
sent by Secretary Barrett to President Har-
rison, General schofeld, Secretary Proctor,
Mrs. Senator Sherman, and other relatives.
In compliance with a desire previously ex-
pressed by the General, his remains will be
inferred in St. Louis.
