This is a tato of things. What if it were mor- impossible to punish a man for crime! How long would it be be- ore every kind oE wickedness was ampant.

This very influence has ong contrived to spread the crime of iribery. It is winked at by politicians who profit by it and condoned the public, -which, indeed, rare- knows what going on. Bribery is looked upon as an important offense, but its immoral in- luenco is more than ordinarily powerful. It destroys patriotism, princi- )le and individuality in tho subject, nd in the general is able successfully to pit a hundred dollars against a hundred voters.

Besides the numerous professional theatrical troupes with which New York city is stocked, that city is blessed with several amateur organizations which are amusing themselves with imitations of Irving, Barrett and all the rest. The best known of these troupes is under the management of Mrs.

James Brown Potter, and lias been in Washington and Philadelphia. The troupe draws full houses wherever it goes, not so much for what it died as what it is. Mrs. Potter, indeed has distinguished herself "Washington by what she did, for at a social gathering there she read to the assembled guests that indecent poem "Hostler Joo" and startled the tongues of the gossips. The Pan-Electric Company is to be investigated Mr.

Handback 1 a western Representative, has moved in Congress tho appointment of such a committee, and it will be done, that what Mr. Garland wishes lie had done with his telephone stock?

It is to bo noted with pleasure that Washington was shocked. Another evidence of increasing goodness in our cities is tho determination said to have been arrived at by society women in New York to discontinue wearing clecollecu dresses during Lent.

Whether this is from motives of health or modesty is left to the imagination, but the fact will be dwelt upon with delight by those who feared that next season the New York society women would do without dress entirely on state occasions. It pretty biul this year. ready been transmitted to the Senate, and added: "The papers and documents which are mentioned in the said resolution, and remaining in the custody of this department, having exclusive reference to the suspension by the President of George M. Dustin, the late incumbent of the office of district-attorney of the United Stales for tho southern district of Alabama, it is not considered that the public interests will ba promoted by compliance with said resolution and the transmission of the papors and documents therein mentioned to the senate in executive session." The case is in a nutself. Tho president's absolute power to suspend an officer "in his discretion" during the recess of the senate is not questioned.

His "reasons" for this suspension are not asked. His private correspondence is not demanded. His "prerogatives" are not invaded. Papers put on file in a public department become public documents. Tho attorney-general does not deny this.

He says that the president does not con sider "the public interests will be promoted" by sending to the senate ths papers still remaining on file in the department of justice, because they refer to a suspension and not to a nomination Tho issue, therefore, in not as to the president's right to make anysus pension he pleases; not as to his obli gallon to give the senate any reason or explanation of his official action but aa to tho right of the senate to public papers on file in a governmen department. How will the Democratic senator meet this issue? How ought it to bi met? Have they not made a grea mistake by resolving to stick to so croc sessions? Is secrecy Democratic? Is conceal menl Democratic?

IE tipplers only reflected upon what they arc pouring down Changing the Marriage Lawsr The Assemblymen at Albany have now turned their attention to the looso marriage laws of the State of New York and purpose to make the state ot double blessedness more difficult of attainment. Among- tlio recent bills introduced is one by Assemblyman Wolf which provides the following as an amendment to tho penal code.

"A minister or magistrate who solemnizes a marriage when he knows or believes that either ot tho parties thereto is a minor under the ngo of eighteen years without tho content of a parent or guardian of the person of such minor, if any there bo, or when either of the partici thereto is known to him to bo under tho ago oE legal consont or-to be au idiot or insane person, or a marriage to which within his knowledge a legal impediment exists, is guilty of a misdemeanor." This is a wise move. Marriage fees are rarely as large as fiiien for misdemeanors and if this becomes law clergymen will exerciso care about tying tho marriage knot. their throats, to refrain. they might bo led Senator George's Query. In tho debate in tho United States Senate last Thursday over Blair's educational bill Senator George of Mississippi rose and made a speech in favor oE the bill.

In the course of his remarks he sniil: I should bo glad to have light from tho Senator and his friends, aud tho country would like to have light; tho country would like to know whether or not our yearly, might, say, almost daily, practice hero is in violation of the Constitution or not." We cannot afford the Senator much light, but wo fear that the country would say to his question. Such an impression has in aoino way gofaround among those who arc acquainted with tho facts. Making Sheridan A General. The bill introduced into tho Hous the other day by Mr. Kelley for re viving the grade oE General on tho ai tivo list oE tho army, and authorizin an appointment thereto, is worthy consideration.

It was offered soo after the denth and obsequies of Ma jor-Qen. Hancock reminded the country that projects for doing honor to surriving luroes oE tho war for tho Union cannot safely be delayed. Three great Union soldiers were selected during and after tho war for elevation to the rank of Lieutenant- General--Grant, Sherman, Sheridan. The two former were successively raised to tho rank of General. Nobody pretended that our little regular army actually needed this grade.

Its affairs could have been administered then, and can bo administered now, quite as well by a Lieutenant-Gen. The sole purpose of creating tha office was to do honor to particular incumbents of it, and to express national appeciation their eminent Bervicep. For that reason it was enacted, William T. Sherman was promoted to be General nncl Philip H. Sheridan to be Lieutenant-General, that both grades should cease on the active list when vacated by their respective incumbents.

It thus happened that when, about two years ago, Gen. Sherman was retired for impossible under the existing law to promote Gen Sheridan. Yet it is none the less obvious that since three persons wen singled out for special distinction tin principle which carried up two of tin three from the grade oE Lioutennnt- Genornl to that of General might wel carry Color and Complexion. A fashion journal says there are endless mixtures in colois; some of the variations" become both blondes and brunettes; but to adapt becomingly any of the pronounced dyes to tho majority of complexions requires skill and knowledge oE color and effects. Clear red harmonizes with dark skins, but to the fair, crimson is more becoming: only pale brunettes can wear becomingly a bright red.

Flesh tints can be favored by both the fair and dark. Warm browns aro becoming to all clear and brilliant complexions. Primrose is the blonde's exclusive color. Maize can be worn by brunettes and blondes. Brunettes should avoid New Hotel at Seneca Point.

At that early day he became an earnest temperance man, always abstaining from the use of intoxicating liquors, and by bis example and precept urging others to do likewise.

He also at an early day became an anti-slavery man and so continued until that institution went out in blood. His contributions to these and other philanthropic causes always generous and freely bestowed. He sympathized with the poor and his hand was always open and his gifts never witheld. He waa generous to all. His readiness and willingness to help a friend was proverbial, and to such an extent was it brought into actual use that unscrupulous and dishonest persons availed themselves of his confiding and trusting nature to obtain his name or hit, money to his loss and injury; thus at times bringing care, trouble and anxiety to vex and harass him in his declining years.

He was au honest man; his word un- He performed his agreements, however much he might be embarassed in their performance.
