I Nor Is It lrapropor to add that among tho i elorloal membors of tho Protostant Epls- eopal body tho former rootor of Oraoo I ffl Ghurch, whloh has been popularly rogarilod as a shrlno of Mammon, might not lmvo boon ij 1 singled out by tho casual obsoi vor as most ffj llkoly to provo tho advocato of labor In tho i blttor strugglo through whloh civilized I oolotv over ywhero Is now obllgod to pass.

Nobody, of course, expectod Ham.isck to be mado Lloutonant-Genoral, and, unless Mkadh wore Boloctod, BnEnmAN, not Thomas, would bo noxt for nomination, oven on tho seoro of eonlorlty. It has always hlthorto boon supposed that Grant considered that Gon.

SuunHAN, by his mothod of dating tbo commissions, would havo mado Meade senior to SnEBiDAN, Instead of putting tho lattor a full grado atioad. On tho wholo, It Is probablo that tho friends of Sheridan aro quite as woll satisfied with tho way Grant and Congress arranged it. With Itoforcncc to tho Cravat. This may not seom an Important question, and yet It suggests important reflections "What lithe correct color for it crarat to be worn with arming drete 1 white, cream, or oolorad Tho modorn ovonlng dross for mon Is rc-marknblo for Its uniformity and Its Btmpllol-ty. It Is the same throughout tho civilized world, and for all men.

Even In arlstooratto societies, except on somo court occasions, thoro Is nothing In tho fashion of his garments to distinguish tho duko from tbo untitled, or ovon from tho waiter who attends upon him. Unless a man la In a sorvlco which has a uniform of Its own, his full ovonlng dross Is always llko that of ovory othor man, tho same In color and shapo; and custom and convontlon so oxootly proscrlbo what It sliall bo, that ho-neodnovorhavo a doubt as to his clothes. It Is truo that In countries whero decorations or orders aro glvon, theso may bo worn, but only as additions to tho usual costumo, for Instance, ft ribbon In tho buttonholo. Wo obscrvo that hore, also, tho raombors of tho Military Ordor of tho Loyal Legion, an association of ofllcore of tbo civil war, havo tnkon to wearing a red, wlilto, and bluo button In tho lapel of tho coat; and membors of tho Revolutionary Socloty of tho Cincinnati havo a bluo button for dross occasions. But any club or socioty whatovor might solcot a ribbon for tbo buttonholo, so that half tho mon you mot out of an evening would bo so doco-ratod; for this Is a frco country, and ovory man Is ontltlcd to indulge his fanoy In that harmless way.

Theso, howovor, aro nothing but additions to a costumo which Is oxactlythosamo for all, whothor poor or rich, and has oomo to bo moro and moro distinguished for Its absonco of ornament. Of lato years, ovon a gold watch cbaln Is scarcely admtssiblo In this ovonlng dress; and the full expanse of shirt bosom exhibited by tho waistcoat contains usually tho most Inconspicuous studs. Thoroforo, any man who has ft black swallow-tall coat, a black low-cut waistcoat, black trousers, a clean Hnon shirt, and decont boots. Is prepared, so far as clothes go, to appear nt tho grandest and most olegant dln-nor or ottior ovonlng ontortalnmont to which ho may bo lnvilod. Even If tho suit is old, so long as it Is in fair condition, It will bo suttublo for any socloty af tor nightfull.

Fortunately, too, llttlu dofecLs duo to woar or to cut aro lost sight of bocauso of its color; and now that nlcoly fashlonod evening suits can bo bought of tbo dealers In roady-mnilo clothing, tholr cost Is not great. Convontlon tells a man. too, just wbon and when not to woar this ovonlng dross, and tho law Is very simple It must not bo worn before tho ovenlug dinnor, but nftor ovonlng comes on It may always bo worn. Honco this ovcnlng dress is tho most democratic over prescribed by fashion. It is tho samo for all men, and artificial distinctions mado by wealth or soolal prejudices aro In no way Indicated by It.

It recognizes no difference between men, but puts thorn all on nn equality, so far as tholr clothes go, and each can show himself for what he Intrinsically Is. Besides, it Is notco6tly llko tho dress costumes of formortimos; and It may bo worn for sovoral years, ovon if frequently used, for it suffers littlo from tho changes of fashion, slnoo, lu general, Its cut Is always tho samo. Tho entire absonco of ornamont, too, prevents tho rloh man from outshining tho poor In his npparol. Plain mother-nf-poarl studs are moro appropriate than gems, and there Is no occasion for having a bit of gold upon you; ludcod, tho moro careful you aro to koop precious stones and metals off, the better will bo your taste. As to tho cravat to oomo to tbo proclso question of our frlond white lawn Is always tho corroct thing, unless you are in mourning, whon a black silk tto may bo worn.

Blaok ties aro also suitablo for dinnor par-tics of mon alono, but a white cravat is equally appropriate on suoh occasions. No, don't select croum color, and don't try to got anything liner than white lawn. Avoid, too, tho made-up cravats. Thoy may bo convenient, but thoy are not tho thing, which, moro particularly, is tbo stiffly Btarclied and vory formal English tapo; and tlo it yourself. Bo arrayed, dear young friond, you will bo In tho giandost evening costume that can bo askod of you, and yet you will be vory simply dressed, and so Inconspicuously that no ono will think of stopping to notloa your clothes.

The womon aro tho only birds of gay plumage In modern society. A Wise Appropriation. Thoro are ollmates In which, according to provalont belief, nobody can llvo without quinine and wblskey. Thoro are others in which it Is held that no man can reasonably hope to llvo out his days without tbo aid of calomel. Minister Cox bas written to Congressman Hewitt that no one can llvo In Constantinople without a steam launch.

Hard as It is to have to diluk whlskoy whon there Is qulnlno In it, or to swallow calomel by way of fortification against tho effects of tho climate, it must bo infinitely harder to bo constantly compolled to uso a steam launch as a provontlvo of climatic dls-oasos. As there are robust persons who drink whlskoy from pure love of sport, and who try quinine and calomel la the hope of adding to tholr robustness, so there aro per-oot otttald ol OoMtaoUaople who try staam launches; bat the fact remain that nntn the discovery of tholr usefulness In a sanitarr way In tho region of the Bosporus, few persons of experience with steam launohes regarded them as anything but contrivances for decreasing tho sum of human comfort. It Js sad enough to think of our ohlppor and lova-bio Sunset Cox periodically resorting to the steam launoh to osoapo from Illness amid sitting clndors, ooal dust, and a hissing llko that of a tea kottlo boiling dry, with an occasional breakdown of machlnory resulting In tho alternative of soulllng baok to tho Constantinople Battory or poling tho old oraft up on tho flats of tho Bosporus and wading ashore without having to contemplato him In tho act of viewing tho storns of tho British, Italian, aud French steam launches Jiggling along ahead of him, and leaving bohlnd tho only Amorloan flag afloat on tho Bos-poms, as was tho oxporlonoo of Minister Cox's prodeoossor whon onoo ho took out Mr. Ukwitt for an airing. On that occasion tho launoh broko down, greatly to tho humiliation of Minister Lew Wai-iaoe's ono possengor; but, as tho avorago etoam launch usually glvoa out ovory day, It Is probablo that tho British, Italian, and Fronoh launobos broko down on tho sucooodlng ocoaslon, and thus ovonod up tho sooro of humiliations.

There can bo no quostlon, howovor, that tho frlonds horo at homo of Minister Cox, and all othor patrlotlo cltlzone, want to know that whon ho Is warding off dlsoaso with a steam launch ho is doing It In a way credlt-abloto hlmsolt and his boundless country; and thoy will heartily npprovo tho voto of Congress onabllng him to havo a steam launoh, which, whon It goos at all, will fumo along not a whit slower than tho steam launohos of tho Old World's ofToto monarchies. A Hard Struggle In Massachusetts. A bill oxompting soldlors aud sailors of tho lato war from tho operation of tho State Civil Sorvlco act has Just boon ordorod to a third roadttig In tho Massachusetts Houso of Ropresontatlvos by majority of moro than two to ono. A similar bill passed tbo Houso last year, but was snagged In tho Bonato. Uador tho prcsont law voterans havo tho proforenco, othor things being equal, over other candidates.

Undor tho proposed law tho voterans aro oxeraptod altogether from tho oompetltlvo examinations. It would Boom that tho immediate result must bo to confine all tho dcslrablo appointments In tho civil sorvlco of Massachusetts tooompotont veterans, and to mako tho compotltivo examinations entirely useless. Massachusetts probably has moro professional olvll sorvlco reformers to tho square mile than any othor Stato; and yot a bill for thooxomptlon of tho vctornns from tbo civil sorvlco rules has twice passed tho lowor branch of tho Legislature, and tho reformers are so shaky about their chances in tho Bonato that thoy aro already beginning to look to a voto by tbo Governor as tho only moans of saving In Its entirety thj sacrod prlnclplo of appointment by sohoolmastors. It Is not a moro spit It of kindnoss to tbo that Is at tho bottom of tho movo-mont to oxorapt them. Tbo veterans got along vory woll oven under tho foolish examination system.

Thoro Is a solid hostility in Massachusetts, as elsowhoro, to tho whole business of civil sorvlco reform of the patent sort, and a general desire to block it; and tho members of tho Legislature who come frosh from tho pooplo may bo supposed to know what tho pcoplo want. It must be discouraging work to be a civil sorvlco rorormor. Just wnon no Dcgins to think that ho baa accomplished something and mado somo Impression upon publlo opinion, ho finds that ho hasn't, and all tho work has to bo started over again. Tho civil service reformers aro mostly classical scholars, and must bo familiar with tho story of Sibxthus, tho unfortunate Greek gentleman who was coudomnod to roll forever up hill a big marble block with a fatal gift for rolling down again as soon as It got to tho top. Sisyrnus was tho typo of civil service reformers and Mugwumps.

The Slaughter of Explorers. At tho mooting of Klug Mwanoa's council last October, whon tho young ruler who lords It ovor tho northorn shore of Victoria Ny-anzn decided to murder Bishop IIanninoton, tho question was ratsod whothor tho whites would bo likely to avougo his death. Tho missionary Maokay writes that tho King's ohlof adviser called attention to tho fact that no ono had suffered for tho killing of Mr. O'Nieli, and Lieut. SJirrn by natives of Ukcrowo on the south ehoro olght yoars ago.

Ho thought nnothor whlto man might bo killed with Impunity, and so tho Bishop's fate was scaled. In tho long list of martyrs who within tbo post twenty years havo lost their lives In tho cattso of African exploration there is not ono victim of vlolonoe whoso murdorors havo been called to account for their crimes. Tho list In North Africa alono comprises at loast thirty porsens engaged In solontlflo labors, from Miss Tinnb In 1803 to Count Ponuo and Llout. Palat and tholr companions, whoso traglo ond has Just been announced. It Is a fact well known to geographers that tho powerful Mussulmanlo fraternity known as tbo Sonouslans, whose fanatical Influonco has spread In tho past forty years from the northorn Sahara to Mozambique, Is responsible tor tho most of thoso murdors.

Thoy profess to havo restored tho faith of Islam to Its purity, thoy regard the Turks as no bottor than Infldols, and tholr rules of oonduot proscribe that it Is a sin to spoak or oven to bow to a Christian. Christians aro to be considered as outlawed onomlas whom it Is morl-torlous to rob or kill whenever a good opportunity offers. It is theso powerful fanatlc3 who bave fo-montod tho rebellions against tho Fronoh authority In Atgorla, and havo mado tho Sahara almost Impassable by white mon. Tho recent murdors havo excited a strong foaling In Franco. Two weeks ago Count de Bize-mont ot tho Fronoh navy and othor noteworthy mon urgod in thonewspopor press tho lmporatlvo nood of punishing those murdorors ot whlto mon and dostroyers ot tho desort oommoroo.

Bizeuont asks tho Government to assure tho security ot tho western Sahara by occupying tho oasis ot In-Sa-lab, south ot Atgorla, one ot tho Bcnousl strongholds, near which Flatters and Pai.at wore killed. How Does It Bhlno nt Present Tho Cleveland luck has becomo provotbl-al. It began to grow bright when Its possessor was nominated for Governor of New York, and it grew moro and moro brilliant until, under tho will power ot Daniel Manning, and still moro undor the Illuminating Influonco of Burchaiid, It fairly dazzled tho contlnont In tbo last election of a Presldout. Has this luck grown less, or Is It as potent as over? There may bo conflicting opinions on this question. Thoro is ovldeuco of dissatisfaction with Mr.

Cleveland's politics, such as would hardly seem compatible with a very lucky man's political ambltlou, This dissatisfaction Is nowhere more unmistakable than In Now York, and this might woll be cited as an Indication of dwindling splendor In Mr. OurauKD't lucky star. But oa tbaoUiw huU, aa BteMt poUUeUa. wh has lately beea looming higher and higher as a rival ot the President In the consideration ot the Demoeraoy we rotor, ot oourse, to Governor Hill baa given himself still turther promlnenoo by signing tho Aqueduct bill, and this cannot fall, one way or another, to have a powerful offect on tho polities ot Now York. Will tho effect bo to Hill's ad vantage or will It not That Is a very Interesting question, and It cannot bo decided offhand.

Wo must all wait a Uttlo longer; and mean whllo lot tho luminary ot Cleveland's luck blaze away as brightly as It can. Keller for the Starving.

But one of tho most ourtous contributions to this lino of literature Is the following alleged poom published by Mr. RonxBT L. Bubdktie in tho lirooklun Jiaglt: "Oneday A newepaper man waa heard to aay, There'a a Washington woddlnf not far And then. When Thoy figured down all the inarrjlnir men.

WAjnnHfrrow, May fewer than olght bills wsre Introduced during lbs first month of the present session ot Congress to equalize the bounties of soldiers, sailors, and marines who served during the late war for the Union. Ter-haps the bills aiming to revive tbo aotot July 88. 1868. wbloh gave 1100 additional bounty to the thrso veers' men and 150 to tho two years men, may bring tho number ot bounty equalisation bills up to a dozen or more.

At all events. In splto of the faot Ibst the not of I860, with Its two extensions, has already cost tho country 870 000,000, we now find tho Bsnato Military Oommlttoo reporting the Equalisation bill of den. Logan nnd urging Its onsctment. What would this legislation oost? don. Logan a dosen years ago thought that It would cost 130,000.000.

but now he contents hlmsolt with saying In tho committee's report that "the sum cannot be largo." Vlco-rrosldent Wilson, whose easting voto ssnt tho bill ol Mnroh 8. 1874. to ITesldont Qrant, ooncoded that It might oost about 168.000.000. The Beeond Comptroller about tho same time put the amount required by that bill at 1101.947.-B25. loss such State bounties as could bs as-eeTtalnnd: or, with a liberal allowanoo to ho letter.

In round numbors $75,000,000. But tho raymaster-Ciiinoml two years earlier had estimated the com at 187.aw.inB. and Is 1 m-vising Ms estlmatosfor tho bill offiirod in 1874 he found tho cost to bo $101,543,034. Tho bills In tho foregoing cases wero tho same aa trie ono now recotninrnth'd, providing for pax-monts nt thereto ot 8S month tor the term of set vlco, lontior or shortor. doductlng amounts already recelvod for bounty.

like thoso who bad borno the heat and burden ot the dsy. Bosldos. tho Government has already given out enormous sumB In bounties. Turing tne first two yoarit ot, the war Congryss. by sundry acts, gave $100 bounty for onllstmont: then camo an aot giving $100.

payable in installments, for reOollstmnnts as veterans; then, in 1864. a bounty of $100 a year for one. two. or threo years' Bervlco: flnally a bounty of $300. cash in advanoe, for the enlistment ot veterans In Hancook's First Veteran Corps, Under thsse various aots thero had been expended up to 18TB In bounties to onllsted men.

according to a report made In that yesr by the Paymaster-Oeneral. This amount Inoluded Kbput $65,000,000 up to that time paid out undor tho Equalisation act of 1866. Blnoe then Bovornl millions more bave been paid. Altogether the twunty payments alone have beon $390,000,000 Yot tho Honato Committee speaks ot its new $75,000,000 or $100,000,000 bill one to meet an honest dobt," hitherto neqlscted. Ab tho Forty-third Congress passed an equalization bill, the Forty-ninth Is quite capable of doing tho same thing.

President Qrant. who received tho bill of 1875 during tho last fow moments of tbo session, was not merely contontto let it dlo for want of his signature, but wrote a posltlvo voto. In It ho expressed his grounds of disapproval, ono bolng that the Treasury could not afford It. and tho other ns follows: Stnnd-1 do not believe that any conelderable proportion ot the ex inlitltre who.

He said that AeontMorKanbadglvena bond that the children should not become a publlo charge. ltobort U.
