Mistakes of a Majority.
The Washington correspondent of
the JVeics and Courier, writing to that
paper, under date 28th ult., has this
to say of the House of Representatives:
"The present Congress bids fair to
be known ns a Congress of mistakes.
I refer simply to tho Democratic
majority in the House, which has
shown neither wisdom nor statesman
ship thus far. The cheese-paring
policy of Messrs. Randall and ITul
man can never command tho support
of the American people. We are not
niggardly as a ration. The intelli
gence of the country favors lair sal
aries to competent men. AI eagre
salaries promote negligence and
peculation. It is a penn/-wise, pound
foolish policy which places men in re
sponsible positions and pays them
mere laborers' wages. Vet, this is the
policy Messrs. Rauda 11 and Hol man
are urging upon the House, and lo
which they are committing the
Democratic party. With what con
sistency can Mr. Randall advocate
the cutting down of the pay of pro
fessors and cadets at West Point when
be advocated the increased pay to
Congressmen in the Forty second Con
gress, and de.ended, pocketed and
kept the back pay, otherwise known as
the salary grab? The popular de
mand for retrenchment, and reform
will noi lie met by cutting down the
salaries of a lew clerks, or of men w ho
have served their country faithfully
and well. We pay our public ser
vants to day less than any other
country in Christendom, and an in
crease of salaries in certain quarters
would be a wi>cr policy than the pro
posed who e.-.ale I eduction. There are
plenty of leaks to be .-topped without
resorting to such expedients as this to
lessen the drain upon the treasury.
The cutting down of fitly dollars there
docH not look well when contrasted
with jtba gj.vd ng away of lVue million
and a half of the public money to a
pt'.vate corporation.
I do not regard the passage of an
aniiK'siY hill as of very great intpor
.ttltiee, bin it is very evident the meas
ure Would have pns.?-ed but for the
mi stub es Mr. .Knudall made in his
management of it. And bail be shown
the wisdom to be ex peeled in a party
leader, Mr. Hill would not have bad
an opportunity to place his associates
in false ppsitiou, Mr. Ulaiiiu to assume
ike role o.' a hyena, or Con, Hanks to
cover himself with glory by deliver
ing the only statesmanlike Speech of
this debate. Possibly the House may
redeem itself later in the session. It
islo be hoped it will. Put thus fur it
not only has gained nothing on its op
ponents, but has actually lost ground
in public estimation, and dimmed the
Democratic prospectsfor success in the
coining Presidential election. Their
is nothing to be gained by concealing
the truth, nor in this regard can it be
concealed, for the facts stated are
notorious to all intelligent observers
here."
- .a ? m
A ClIAMl'ION BllOIM'Eft.?She
swept into our largest dry goods store,
says the Baltimore Gazette, with that
easy grace that belongs as a birth
right to Baltimore's lair daughters,
stopping at the glove counter. The
polite clerk rushed forward (o wait
on her, with a nole of interrogation in
each eye. She asked for kid gloves.
"Yes'm, what si/.e'm V" A gorgeous
pull back passed her, and she turned
to look at it, and then ejaculated:
"Kid gloves." "Yes'm, whatsizo'ivi?"
"Why, Miss Sue, how do you do?
Haven't scon you for an age," etc.
Good-bye," and she turns lo the pati
cut clerk and transfixes him with a
stony stare, and again demands, in an
injured tone : "Kid gloves." "Yes'm,
what si/.e'm V" asked the somewhat
excited clerk. "Oh, why, live ami
three-quarters."
Tho box, containing six dozen of
every conceivable shade, is placed be
fore her. Carefully she looks at each
one of the seventy-two pairs, draws
some seventeen pairs out of their var
ious packages, bursts the bands Hint
held them in dozens, and then re
marks : "Why, I wanted black
gloves." The box containing the black
kids is produced, a similar process of
disarranging the stock is gouo
through, and a pair arc finally selec
ted. "How much arc they ?" chirps
the fair one. One dollar and seventy
five cents," replies ho of the yardstick.
"Oh, my gracious ! Tell Bells them
for fifty cents." Yardstick explains
that the goods would cost three times
that sum, etc., goods must be damag
ed to sell at that price. Lady admits
that they are somewhat damaged, hut
just as good; gets mad and flounces
out of the store.
The I'nussiAN AitMY.?The rank
and file ill the Prussian army are
miserably paid and poorly fed, accord
ing to our ideas. The Court Journal
gives sonic interesting statistics con
cerning this matter. The only ration
which a jn-iv ate soldier receives in
peace is one and one-half pounds ol
coarse bread. His pay is thirty-six
thalcrs a year, or about nine shillings,
a month; from this a deduction of one
aud one-fourth groschon, or about one
and one-hall' pence a day is made for
messing, and to this is added an allow
ance made, by government, which
varies according to tho garrison, and
is fixed quarterly. On the winde, it
may be said that each German soldier
has a bowl of gruel or coffee in the
morning aud one meal in the middle
of the day provided for him, also that
he has about two and one-half pence
remaining over Irom his pay lo pro
vide his supper. There is no fixed
rate of pay for the nou commissioned
ranks. A bargain is made with each
non-commis-ioucd officer Ironi time to
time, according to ihc value of his ser
vices. But after they leave the army
they are well provided for, and it is
wholly unknown tkui^a deserving
non-commissioned officer should be
necessitated to seek employment, after
ho has served his time, because he is
unprovided for^ ^
How hk Did It.?The liafajtcial
ant e Jlrltfi; loll a story hf a priest who
during the Jubilee mis-ion was ex
cessively disappointed at finding hone
but fa til ale listeners to his sermon. On
the day before his final ministration
he thus addressed his congregation :
"It is a great comfort to us that von
have duly confessed your .-ins every
day to us, but that is not enough; we
wish lo see your husbands, fathers,
brothers present, also. Tell them,
therefore, iliai if they will assemble
here to-morrow 1 will teach them how
to make an excellent pair of shoes in
five minutes." As might be expected,
the church on the ensuing day was
crowded to overflowing, when the
priest having giving his hearers a les
son on their duties told them that, as
no doubt curiosity had brought them |
there, be would now gratify it. and
stooping down he took a pair of boots
from the floor, and in five min ilcs
shaped them with a shears into a
serviceable pair of shoes.
How it May uk Dom:.?.Some
body wrote to the editor of an agricul
tural paper lo ask how he would
''break tin ox ?" The editor answered
as follows: If only one ox.a good
wa y would he to heist him, by means
of a chain attached tu his tad, to the
top of a pole forty feet fiom the
ground. Then hoist him by a rope
tied to his horns to another p le
Then descend on bis back a live-ton
pile driver, and if that don't break
him, let him start a country news
paper and trust people for subscrip
tions. One of the two ways will do it
sure.
"Luvest thou me?" asked a Mtu
neopolis swain of his last year's girl,
".Not much, I don't," was her empha
tic reply. "Then death is my he: t
friend, and here's 16 his health !" spoke
up the sighing lover as he drank oil'a
bottle filled with a mixture which he
supposed to be laudanum. Rut when
the emetic, which a shrewd druggist
had given instead of laudanum, began
to work, his girl just held his hat to
save the carpet, and then dragged
him out oil the doorsteps by tho hair
of his head. Ho has no longer any
I faith in the vaunted tenderness of wo
' men's sympathetic nature.
Convention of Southern Republi
cans.
A printed cii cular lias been issued
from Charleston und sent to large
numbers of Republicans in the South
ern States,'inviting their co operation
iu holding-'a Convention of Southern
Republicans to consult on the inter
ests of the .party and devise nieasu.es
for putting it on n belter fooling. The
circular sot's forth that seven yeais
ngo the Republicans were in possession
of every Stale which had joined the
war for secession except Virgin in, and
that Jit present there arc only tivo in
which th? party has a clear ascend*
ancy, tcir being completely dead three
more \iiim^rW{ iu the hands of the
Democrats. It goes on to state that
these losses have occurred in spile of
the great advantage for the Republi
cans that-the whole influence of the
Federal Government has been active
ly exerted on their side with the whole
ollice-holdlng clement in both Slate
:ui.I National posit ions The circular
ultribu tetj these sweeping reverses to
the bad management of the Republi
can party" in the South, and suggests
that if the party is not to be utte ly
wrecked und destroyed it must at once
put an end to the ascendancy of lead
ers whose unwise, selfish and corrupt
practices hnvc loaded the parly down
with disgrace and disasters, and
threatens, its extinction even in the
two Sta tes of which it still retains
possession. The trouble with our Re
publican,-friends in the South is that
if they ^'unload" all the bad men in
the party there won't be any party
left.
