The Difference.

To the Editor:
When a man is single lfe's a pleasure.
His good times he can number by the score.
ne does Just what he pleases with his leisure:
Makes love to half a dozen girls or more.
HIS days and nights are free from melancholy.
HIS blisses many and his sorrows few;
There's no one to upbraid him for his folly,
Or tell him what he should or shouldn't do.
Then life Is very sweet;
Existence seems complete;
with happiness his heart and pulses tinsie;
The world looks bright and fair;
For Its strife he doesn't care:
He feels the blessedness of being single.
When a man 10 married he will worry;
He knows his days of happiness are Ger;
He nearly always in q dreadful hurry;
IT'S hard to keep the grim wolf from the door
He passes many hours in regrettins
The fatal day he took to him a wife; ,
His face grows old and wrinkled up with ~frettIne
For him there's naught but ~drudgery in life.
Oh. when a man is wed.
He will wish that he were dead,
Or that a little longer he had tarried;
His life is full OF woe;
Sadly has he learned to know
The great misfortune 1t is to be married.

Henrietta, Cashmere or Serge.

Henrietta, cashmere, serge and such
black goods, IL of a good quality, we'll
repay one for all the cleaning given
them. Remove the grease spots thor
oughly from the goods, then wash In
warm soapsuds, using a pure, not strong,
soap. In which dissolve borax at the
rate of a t"easpoonful to two quarts of
water; rinse in very blue water and
iron on the wrong side, while damp, with
a moderate iron
Do not rub the goods on a dashboard,
but souse them up and down and wiring
very gently, 80 as not to pull or twist
the fabric.
Another plan suggests soaking the
black cashmere in warm soapsuds for
W o hours, then dissolving an ounce OF
extract of logwood IN a bowl Of warm
water and adding sufficient water to
cover the goods. and then allowing them
to stand in this mixture all night. In the
morning rinse in four waters, and to the
last add a pint of sweet milk; clap the
material between the hands in place OF
wringing, hang on a line Until nearly
dry n iron while damp on the wrong
side. Always iron until the goods are
perfectly dry.

as precluding the appointment of an

been eagerly expectant Of the Custom

Now that Mr.. Cleveland has started

sAMPsON's STORY.

A singular story was told yesterday
by Capt. Sampson before the Congress.
sional Investigating Committee raised
to inquire into the Carnegie frauds. II
shows very clearly how necessary was
the investigation.
The frauds are admitted, II they are
not regarded by Capt. Sampson as
serious. But he singular part of the
business is the conclusions the Captain
has reached after his very slight in
v~estigation while sojourning at the Car
negie Club. His opinion ia that the
workmen and superintendent, and es-
pecially General Superintendent Schwab,
are responsible for the frauds, and that
the principles. Carnegie. Frick and the
rest. are entirely innocent and no re-
sponsible. He did not believe that Prick

Whatever Walter Besant may think
about the equality Of the sexes. he boldly
declares himself on the inequality Of men.
Speaking of The so-called equality Of
men," he says ut is an excellent thing
to remind ourselves from time to time
that man is not equal to his brother mar
and never will be; taking any one fac
ulty-say intellectual vision. or breadth
Of reasoning power-no two men are
equal. Again, in physical power, no two
men are equal. One might as well claim
equal stature for men. And yet, in the

corrupt speculation in Sugar stock after
the Buttz performance.
The appointment Of the Committee
was q blind. The best proof Is the fact
that It has done nothing but apply q
daub of whitewash to Senators Hunton
and Kyle, who were honest enough to
promptly expose the attempts to bride
them. and needed no committee kalso-
mining. The Committee was raised to
divert the attention Of the public from
the fact that the Senate's own acts dur
Ing the session had invited the bribery.

Wright or william NJ. Evarts with a
