TIE MANCHESTER posroYF1cE.

There is no man in Congress who
looks after the personal interests of hrs
constituents more closely than Captain
Wise. but every congressman has some
duties that are paramount even TO the
personal wishes and ambitions of his
constituents. and to-day he was unable
TO see the Postmaster-General again
about the appointment of a Democrat
as postmaster It Manchester. on account
OF most important meeting OF his
committee at which Mr.. John X. Cowan,
OF Baltimore, was present by invitation
OF the committee to give his opinions on
the question Of repeating the clause in
the interstate commerce act relating to
railroads pooling. Captain Wise Will.
however, give his attention to Manchester
early next week. lie still declines, how
ever. to make public the name of the
gentleman whom he will recommend for
the postmastership.
Congressman Jones. however. saw the
Postmaster-General and secured the re-
moval Of Mr.. Eugene 5. Phillips. the mail
agent on the RappahannoclS steamer. and
the appointment OF Mr. Alwyn Hundley,
Of Essex county, in his stead. The re-
moval will take effect as soon as the
appointee can qualify
Mr. Philips has made a courteous.
popular. and Efficient official. and the re-
moval was demanded for political resons
alone
General Bissell informed Mr.. Jones that
he would attend the dedication OF the
Mary Washington monument at Fred
ericksburg on May 10th, but under
no circumstances must he be in
vittd to make speech. as he
had never made a speech in his
life. Mr.. Bissell said that the President
would also attend the ceremonies.
The Friday night sessions of the
House have been lately devoted to the
consideration Of a number of bills re-
ported from the committee which pro-
vide for the corrections Of the military
records Of soldiers who fell into discredt
and disgrace during the late war by
assertions and in other ways.

SENATORS DANIEL AND HuYrox.

Senators Daniel and Hunton and Con-
gresham Tyler called at the Treasury
Department this morning, but were unable
TO obtain an interview with Secretary
Carlisle. The object of the visit was to
urge the appointment of Capt. Murdaugh,
of Norfolk as supervising inspector of
steam vessels. The appointment will be
made early in May. Senator German, of
Maryland, has a candidate he is urging
for the position. ard Senator Ransom, of
North Carolina, whose great influence
is always TO be feared when against
you. is making a strong fight for the
position for gentleman from his
State.
Congressman Tyler also had long in
terview with Secretary McAdoo about
the bill now before Congress providing
for the deepening of the channel from
Hampton Roads to the Norfolk navy
yard. The secretary favors the bill and
thinks that the amendment offered in
the Senate by Senator Daniel should be
promptly urged. As Senator Daniel is
doing that very thing it is to be hoped
that some favorable legislation in this
matter will be enacted this session.
TO INSPECT JAMES RIVER.
Invitations have been received here by
Congressman Wise and the members OF
the River and Harbor Committee from
the Richmond Chamber Of Commerce for
an excursion on the steamer Pocahontas
down the James river to Curtis Neck and
return, during which the committee will
have the opportunity of inspecting the
condition of the river. After the return
to Rchm ond an elegant supper at the
Westmoreland Club will be rendered the

Overcoming the hesitation which kept

"Carelessl How can bei Isn't the life
of Taras at stakef"
Indeed it is. The slightest rumor Of
suspicion would ruin onr hopes, and re
member it is not more important TO de
ceve Rudersdorf than it is to keep Taras
in the dark. II he dreamed of our inten-
ton to get Gordon seized in his place, he
would be the first to telegraph to the min
lister of police and warn him against the
deception that might possibly be put upon
Rudersdorf."
"Yes, he would, or never suffer Gordon
to take his place He shall learn nothing
from me-"
"My plan is a simple one. 1t is merely
to lure Gordon to the Mariners Joy and
serve him as Taras was served-of course
employing other men than those who made
Taras prisoner. The less complicated the
scheme is, the better" he pursued, seeing
possibly the reluctance felt. IF you eau
suggest anything simpler, shall be only
too happy to adopt it, providing. of course,
that 1t is equally practicable.
Wouldn't 1t be easier to give him a

made. 1t would be found that the same
accident had befallen him which overcame

coincidence. And"----

A CITY WITHOUT WOMEN.
Matwntchin, in Mongolia, Has That Novel
Distinction.

Distinction.
We know that Venice is a city with
out streets, without horses, except four
or five bronze ones; without carriages,
without trees, except in one garden,
and without wooden houses. But there
is a city still more peculiar than Venice
it is in Mongolia, close to the borders
of Russian Siberia, and is named Mai
watehin, and it is the only city in the
world peopled by men only. The Chi,
nese women are not only forbidden to
leave this territory, but even to pass
the great wall OF kall1an and enter
into Mongolia. All Chinese of this Dor
der city are exclusively traders, and
they accumulate money till their
trading with Europe through ST.
IBERIA, has created sufficient
fortune to enable them to re-
turn to their native cities and
live there in ease with their families
Their dwellings, Indicate their pros
perity. They are separated from the
street by clay wall, rather ugly it IS
true, bat surrounding generally very
elegant-looking house, before which
are gamboling those sleek-looking
plump cues, with unusually big eyes,
such as are pretty faithfully repre-
scented ON Chinese vases and screens.
The main part of the houses of Mai
watehin is divided into two compart-
ments and that which is behind is
raised. Fires are kept up under this
great platform, which is covered with
mats that serve as seats by day and
beds by night. Opposite the door a
niche is generally seen, where the do
nestle idols, accustomed to attitudin-
ize to profane eyes, repose be
hind an ornamented blind. The
walls of the reception room
are laequered in red or black
and sometimes covered with figured
silk, according TO the wealth and taste
of the owner. The apartment over
looking the court is generally Of light
wood, perforated and carved, and over
these openings colored paper is
stretched, producing something of the
graceful effect of stained glass. The
idol temples are gorgeous buildings.
1t seems strange indeed TO ge through
the streets of this city and enter the
houses and nowhere To meet woman
or hear woman's voice What a lone.

in together-no home in the real sense
