fact that ho was one of lh lieavy pur

Ho Is n man of mhhllo hulirht. with
phenomenally small lunula and feet,
piercinc brown eyes, a fair nklu,-ami
two dimples that iiiako his sinl'o

Ills English la tho wonder of nit who
bear htm speak, for not only has ho a,
fluent command of thu language, hut
lie Is nblo to exprcB! tho nicest abodes
of meaning. Ills father was ono of
the progressive- lendcis of his day, nnd
tit accepted readily such foreign Innova
tions as no deemed goon lor ins peo
ple nnd worthy of grafting on thu In

special duties of Mr. Ho (for tho llrat

nro called), Is to collect, tramilato nnd
inako three copies of every Item, good,
hnd or Indifferent, truo or false, that
appears in tho daily press about China
nnd tho Chinese In their relation to
this country. As nil thu transcribing

dcllcato euro has to lie expended on
every character, his is at times an al
most overwhelming labor, and keeps
tbo nmlnblo attache closely bouud to
his dcak for tunny hours daily.
Dr. Yow Is probably second only to

nro well shnped, but.- though dimpled
like n woman's nt the knuckles, tlioy

ingly trying, but, like qvcry other
fcntuic ol ti national drees, tlioy havo
their motif. Tho outdoor hat Is set on
top of tho head, with no attempt nt
fitting, It is mado of homo hair, and
is worn In nnd out of doors because of
n minder once committed on royalty
by n dagger stroke on tho unprotected
hrad. Tho court lint is also of horso
hair, tlio two llttlo gauzy wings spread
on each sldo typifying tho speed with

A BTAW.B OP KXCITESIEN'f.
Hero is n little space left for a word
on tho lUiss nnd the Prussian. Tho
horso nnd coachman of ono nnd tho
ehiticur of (ho other form tho stnplo
of social excitement. A year ago there
suddenly appeared a most beautiful
horse on our streets. It was liko the
ono in thu Bedouin lovo song "shod
with file;" ltdnnccd ns daintily ns n'
belle In n minuet, and was just ns con
Ecious of the 'admiring crowds that
stopped to look nt htm. Very llttlo
hnrncss obscured his satin coat, tho
wind of tho stunpes was In his silken
mnnc, nnd tho breath of freedom was
in his nostrils. Far above his proud
crest rose tho arch familiar In tho
"Tro'kn" pictures, .and behind him
rolled n low basket carrlngo mounted
on tho tiniest of wheels, nnd manned
by a inujlk out of ouo of Tolstoi's best
and happiest stories, ,
IIo wns n man of great staturo nnd
brendth, und his patriarchal beard
nnd lone; hnir mado him n marked
figure. Ho was anlvaa, of courso, mid
ns tho dnrling of his Heart would
pi mice nnd curvet ho would mutter tho
most extravagant lovo words to it, his
great chest swelling nnd his eyes
flashing with prldo.
The turnout belonged to Mr. Qrcgor,
the clovcrcst, lenst hmidsomo and tho
most popular diplomat from tho Euro
pen n Continent. Tho horso was an
OilolTnnd wns his; tho mujlk wns
from one of tho family estates nnd had
been his befoin the emancipation; thu
cnrrlacn was ono ho had brought over
from Itutsia and called by n name war
ranted to give bronchitis on first trial,
nnd tho harness wus tho national ono
for use with that special vehicle.

"THE CIVIL SKllVICB MACHINE."
Mr. President, there Is a philosophical
reason why this civil tcrvlco machine could
not be a successful one. Tho great princi
ples ot constitutional and of nvunlclp.il law
wbteb are tlio safeguards of public rights
and.of private privileges, tho customs ot
society which' bold It. In the tenure of path
wnjs of lespectabilltyand honor, thocliqiiot
of life which makes tho law ot tho social
circle all tbc60 things aro tho growth ot
ages and hnvo rlpcnrd In their time. This
civil service reform statute sprang up Iu a
night, an unwholesome growth, or rather
not a growth, but a device, an Invention.
It was not a fruit that ripened out ot pub
lic demand and public experience and a
just sense of responsibility. It was an
evatlou of responsibility, and nu attempt to
do In a sldo way what men feared tlioy
could not do directly. And, sir, when this
Civil Service Commission too,k' charge" of
the patronago ot this Government, they
tiiemseivea went inroeyonu wun wub 'con
templated by Congress In ltt establishment.
Avbat right havo three men, sitting lb.tho
city of Washington, to say to an American
Citizen, wbd Is guaranteed all the Immuni
ties of Amorlcau citizenship In our Consti
tution, that bo shall not bold an olllco If bo
Is over -15 jears of agol Aud yet three men,
who were put in power without a'' etuglo
.vote being cast for themi directly or in
directly, old undertako to amend the Con
stitution of tbo United States, to fix a 6tntus
of eligibility to office of which tbo people
bad never dreamed, and to ostracize one
third of tho American people from sharing
tbo offices wlileh tbelr taxes sustain.
TOO MUCH l'OIl A CZ1II.
Sir, If an emperor or czar bad done such a
thins tl that he would havo beard the
howl of tbo people around bis palace; but
It was doho under the decorqus name ot
"civil-service reform," and all parties havo
bowed to It. I am glad tq say, however
nnd It Is an Item which ought to go to the
credit of tho retiring Administration that
under Democratic rule a third of tho Amer
ican people have been rc-enfranchised, and
that when a man gets to middle life, iu tho
maturity of his powers aud in the full tide
of his experience, bo .Is not now prohibited
by clvll-scrvico reform from boldlug office.
, "civil. SEHVICE" was what pid it.
Mr. President, tbero Is Just ouo other ob
Jcctlou that I bavo to building up this sys
tem. Tbo comity of political parties, the
cotnmou seuso ot tho people, the Inst fair-
mindedness of mnn would reguluto the
question ot turning out and kecplug In
oflklal cmDlojcs on a much fairer aud bet
ter lino than any statute If there had
becu no civil service statute tn existence
whnttouver, If President Cleveland and his.
Cublnet nnd his official advlseis had bad
full power to remove eveiy olllccr In this
Federal Uovirumeiit, front tho highest to
the lowest, ami to deeluuulo also the Person
wlio would take the place of tbo person re
mot id, I do not think that tbero
would bavo been auj thing like a
elcnn sweep or a revolutionary cliaugo
limongst tbo servants nf tlio peo
ple; and It President-elect Harrison, com
ing soon Into the Presidency, bad absolute
away and couhl deslguiito eveiy officer hero
In Washington or elsewhere iu tho couutry,
1 have no Idea that there wonld bo a revo
lutionary coudltion ot tblncs and an abso
lute turning over ot tho official agencies of
Uiivciiiinciit Into tho hands of ono party.
It, would bu regulated by tho Illness of

Says a special to tho Now York Jiiunml:
Tlio Senatorial contests of tho winter havo
been more than ordinarily Interesting nnd
bavo been watched keenly by tho lolling
men nt Ilie Nation's Capital.
Harris ot irmiessco comes nacK -lor
another tcim of six years In spite of tlio
fact thnt many ot bis friends hardly thought
ho would lnnkc It again.
"Old man Isliimi," as so many of tho
Tennessee politicians call Mm, is pnihnpi
the fluent parliamentarian on the Demo
cratic sldo of tho Senate. Indeed, ho h ouo
of tho few Democrats who pretend to
thoroughly understand tho rulei. black
burn ot Kentucky, when a member of tho
House, bad a great reputation ns a parlia
mentarian, but sliico becoming a member
of the Seuate ho has not cut much of a
figure In this respect, but on tho contrary
has been willing to let others take tho lead.
Illnckburn lias mado several creditable
st cecbes, and has held Ids own as an orator,
but bo has not been half nsactlvo a Senator
at ho was a liepresentutlvc. Harris Is ro
lled upon mora than nuy other man by tho
Democrats to help tbem out of "parliamen
tary tangles, and theru Is much rcjulclug
among bis friends in tbo Senate to kuow
thnt ho Is not to bo rctiied to tho shades ot
private life.
It Is a bard matter to find out Just how
old Senator Harris Is. Sometimes, when ho
Is tern creeping about tho corridors ot the
Cnpltol, hu has tbo nppoarauco ot bolug far
advanced In age, but flicn ho engages In
dtbato, wields tho gavel, or expounds tho
lilies, you think that a man wbo Is so
fluent and active cannot bo nearly so old ns
ho looks.
' Nearly all Of tbo Sonatort and Repre
sentatives have el veil their1 azes In tbo Con-
crcsslonnl Directory, but uot so with tbo
senior Senator from Tennessee. IIo doesn't
tell tho public how old he Is, being a llttlo
touchy on that point, probably from tbo
fact that be commenced toxoid office as far
luck as 1847. IIo cauto to Congress In
1840. This was long before .Morrill of Ver
mont, Shciman ot Ohio, or any other man
pow in Congress hnd anything to Mo with
national legislation, though tjherman, Mor
rill, Keagnn, Kclley, ltaudsll and others,
have alieady eerved more yuars lu Congress
than tbo lenncsueean. Harris bat hid
two terms ns Senator, and bids fair to live
until tbo end of his third term,
IIo ami Deck are warm personal and p
II Ileal friends, and the Tcnnessocan will
ficl sad nnd loncsomo If the lCcntucklan is
not on band and In good health when tho
next session ot tbo Senate begins.
