remarked that she was too ugly to live poor human nature if everyone were to take to heart all the unflattering remarks that too can did people make with regard to persona appearance or otherwise what a most uncomfortable world this would be on the other hand if these people who are oyer fond of saying smart things at the expenoe of other people would keep a guard over their unruly mem ber what a long step this world would take in the direction of the millenium of course it often has a salutary effect on bumptious people to be tak en down a peg and thus prevent an epidemic of vanity which would doubt less result if every prig were allowed to take the indisputed ground that i am sir oracle and when i ope my tips let ho dog bark talking ot ugly people reminds one of the story of the man

last week of august there is always a little flutter ot ex citement in washington not that there is any difference between it and the first week of sept but the shopkeepers housekeepers cabmen and the trad ing portion of the community of the national capital generally look for an influx of people who will relieve the monotony of the long dull summer by liberal patronage this summer has been an exception to therule for many people have stayed at home preferr ing to wait for their outings until fall since the temperature has been so comfortable that it has not been abso lutely necessary to go away in search of cool weather those who have remained have found their houses more pleasant than the streets and have had no need for going out but with the first day of fall the city really takes on a livelier appearance there is more bustle and excitement in the streets and the people look as if they had an object in life householders want to get settled for the winter parents commence active preparations for the beginning of school and the work-a- day world returns to its duties with september notwithstanding the fact that croakers insist this month to be the unhealthiest of the year there is however less talk of malaria at the capital than there used to be and that is mostly confined to hypochrondriacs who must have some pet ill to nurse and haviug exhausted every other fall back on this neverfailing one statistics show the death rate in wash ington to be lower than in most cities clean streets and good drainage have done their work and the health of the community has been improved in consequence the great army who live in rented nouses start out on the war path early in the season for the supply of well- arranged wellventilated houses in good loialiiies and at reasonable rents is not up to the demand and one must not let the grass grow under his feet in washington if he wants to find a domicile the suave realestate clerks are the ones who suffer most and their affable smiles scmetimeb develope into frowns under the provocations they receive for nearly every one wants the world with a fence around it for little or nothing a year there is not much demand just now for the higherpriced and furnished nouses these must wait their turn until the advent of moneyed statesmen and capitalists whom business or pleasure call here but the wives of million aires are even more exacting than women of more modest pretentions and drive as sharp bargains as their poorer sisters flat life is growing in washington this year has seen the erection sf many now and handsome buildings which are to be let under this system and though the objections to it are legion there are many points in its favor and there is no question ing the fact that one can live better in a flat on the same income that one can in a house it is a lazy easy life and corrupts not only good housekeep ers but good ser vents it has been generally understood that the several candidates for the speakership of the next house favored the calling of an extra session of con gress it is obvious however that if any one was very far in advance of the rest in the race the others would not then want to have the meeting so soon or if any one tound himself los ing ground he would want more time to recover before the final struggle came off for ths reason it has been expscled that candidates who at one time were anxious for an extra session might find cause for changing their minds some of the friends of the other candidates are therefore pleased at the report that mr mekiuley has been to see the president to argue against an extra session they interpret this as signifying that ho is not quite as sure of his position as he appeared to be some time ago there is also a g uwirf impression among politicians a eady at the capitil that mr reed s gaining strength but if his pros pect of success should vk me too ap- trent mr mckinlcy might bo joined by other candidates in his opposition to an extra session apropos of the prospects for aspccial session i find the prevailing opinion is that mr mcklnloy is too much per sonally interested for his arguments to weigh heavily against lie reasons the presideut has mention id from time to time for thinking he might call congress together of course his be ing a tariff expert may secure espotial consideration for what he says but mr reed and senator allison aw alio tariff exports and if they do not change their present ouinion about the matter the chances appear to be de cidedly in favor of a special call in october there seems to be some basis for the j published statement that the post mastergeneral is negotiating with the western union telegraph company for i a general reduction in telegraph rates in
