1t needed no experienced eye to de-
termine that he was listinctively rural,
says the Washington Star. There was
hayseed in his hair, his boots bore the
sign manual of the farm and he handled
knife and fork with the vigorous skill of
one accustomed to the daily use of shov-
el and hoe. After watching me season
my meat with judicious quantity of
tobasco curiosity got the better of his
bashfulness.
stranger, is that there stuff good to
put on meat?" he inquired.
"Yes, indeed, if one likes seasoning"
replied.
He appeared satisfied with the in
formation and proceeded to try the con-
diment.
With reckless liberality, against
which 1 Should have warned him, he
took the small bottle and shook out a
quantity upon his plate. He cut off al
large mouthful of meat, rolled it about
in the red liquid until thoroughly satu-
rated, popped it into his mouth and
bolted it.
What followed may be safely left to
the imagination.
When at last the power of speech re-
turned to him he turned to me.
There was more of sorrow than anger
in his mind; his face was innocent of
frown or smile, and there was impress
sivc compassion in the tone in which he
said:
stranger, when yer time comes an
yer gifts ter the hot place, yer'll think
yer've struck snow bank"

epresentative WILDER, of n. Y, who
has been studying and working on the
subject for long time, thinks meth
cd has been found that will make 1t
impossible for limitations to be sold in
English markets as genuine American
cheese. Mr.. w. A. Mcknight mem
Der of the Liverpool and Manchester
Cham Der of Commerce, has been in this
country working in conjunction with
Representative WILDER, and he promises
to aid in suppressing the sale of imita-
ton American goods and the conse-
ouent extension of the sale of the gen
uine, on his side of the Atlantic. Sec
retares Gage and Wilson are thorough
ly in favor of this project, and the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue has
already given the necessary orders to
government officers at New York aud
Chicago to put it into effect.
Ex-senator Ingalls,, of Kansas, is in
Washington, bnt he says that politics
have nothing to do with his visit, and
that he is not an applicant for office.
Senator Hawley took occasion dur
ing the Cuban talk in the Senate to re-
iterate warning words upon subject
he is thoroughly familiar with. He
said: 1--WE are in no condition as
country to step forward into the arena
of the world and say we are going to
see justice done to every poor people
everywhere, that we will declare bel
ligerency, or that we will declare war.
The Senator from Illinois (Mason) ask
ed with vigor once or twice if we were
afraid of war. Yes, am. l am afraid
of war on the part of an unprotected
nation. l declare that we are not
fit to undertake war against any but
the very weakest nations of the earth,
and this is the text upon which | have
been preaching these ten or twelve
yCdlS, lllOlC VI 1850 hOp 40 " oSS
our coast defenses and our navy put
into such condition that we can con-
duct an international debate, for we
cannot have an international debate
without the guns; and when we have
something of an armament that is be-
fitting our great place in the world,
we can afford to assume the response
bilities the Almighty has placed upon
US by reason of our wealth and our
power" In speaking thus Senator
Hawley made no pretense of repre-
senting the administration, or in fact
anybody but himself.
The order closing the doors of the
international Postal Congress to the
public and to the newspaper men has
been rather unjustly criticised as an
act of eXclusiveness, when in reality it
was merely following precedent. The
other Postal Congresses were held be-
hind closed doors, and the foreign dele
gates objected to the publicity which
followed the experiment of holding
this one with open doors, so the doors
were shut. This is all there is about
it. This Congress has no authority to
decide anything. Its functions are to
discuss and to make recommendations
10 the countries in the Postal Union,
and the foreign delegates objected to
having reports published of every thing
.hnv said in these discussions.
