GOOD THINGS TO REMEMBER.
Politicians who Never Forget Men’s
Names cr Faces.
From the New York Sun.
During President Arthur's trip to Florida
in 1883, be w ent to St. Augustine for a brief
star, and by some mistake arrived at the
hotel some time before his rooms were
ready for bint One of the clerks went
into the hotel pal lor, where the President
■was waiting, to shake hands with him.
“Why, Blank,” said the President, greet
ing him heartily, “I haven’t seen you for
twenty years. The last time I saw you you
made special effort to get me a good room
at Willard’s, in Washington, in 1863. You
were clerk there then.”
In speaking of the incident afterward, the
President said that he had heard years be
fore that Thurluw Weed had once' said to
William H. Seward that above all things a
politician, especially one who expected to be
a candidate for office, should learn always
to remember the face of every man whom
he ever met, and the name that went with
the face.
(ten. Arthur said that whether Thurlow
Weed said this or not it was quite true, and
was true as a matter of courtesy and good
will, as well as of selfish policy in business
or politics. He had fortunately very little
difficulty in remembering faces and names,
and ho nad always made It a point to fix
the faco and name of every person whom he
met, even in a casual way, in his
juind, and was usually able to do so.
Hen. Arthur was quite right in this state
ment. No man whom he ever met, save
many of those who passed him in the crush
and haste of a White House reception, ever
had to be presented a second time to him.
When he was active in New York politics,
men from the country districts were some
times brought to him, and before the intro
duction was finished, Gen. Arthur would be
quite likely to say:
“Oh, I know Mr. Smith very well; we
met at such and sucli a place," or “why Mr.
Brown, it isn't necessary for us to be intro
duced to one another; you and I met ten
years ago at Syracuse, don’t you remem
ber t”
That was a greeting that set all men at
ease, and no local worker in ward politics,
however humble, ever met Gen. Arthur to
be forgotten. Unlike very many other pub
lic men, he never forgot the face or name of
a newspaper man, and he had to do with
very many in his career. If anew one
called upon him for information or an in
terview, he was careful to ask him for his
name or card, and could probably before
going to Washington call more reporters by
name than any other public man in New
York.
He did not cultivate the habit out of
policy, but, as lie said, because he believed
that true courtesy and the honorable wish
to please, required that an effort be made
never to forgot one who had once been pre
sented.
This gift, however, is not a common one,
cither by cultivation or natural possession.
Many are the politicians who have done
great damage to their aspirations by wil
fully or carelessly neglecting to cultivate
the habit of remembering names and faces.
Mr. Blaine possesses this qualification for
success in public life, and nothing so greatly
annoys him as to learn that it has been
necessary to introduce any one twice to
him. If he does not catch the name at the
introduction, he takes the first opportunity
to learn what it is. In these later days he
does not always make manifest his recollec
tions, for there are some men whom he has
been obliged to meet whom he prefers to
hold off at a distance. A story is told of
Blaine, that upon one occasion in passing
through a crowded ear he nodded casually
to a man he knew. This man stared at him
in amazement, and awkwardly returned the
salutation. By and by Mr. Blaine took a
vacant seat beside this man and said:
* Jones, I don’t believe you remember me,
but I do you. I used to trade with you
when you "kept store in Portland, twenty
years ago.”
“You’ve got the advantage of me, sir,”
was his reply.
“Come now, can’t you really recollect
me!” asked Blaine.
“No, I cannot. I can’t place you at all,
Who are you!”
“My name is Blaine.”
“What! No! Not Jim Blaine. Speaker
Blaine!”
"Yes, I’m Jim Blaine,” said Blaine,
laughing.
“But your hair and beard were sandy
then.”
“Yes. But wa grow old, Jones. You
haven’t changed, though.
When Jones, if that was his name, last
saw Blaine, he was an employe on the
Portland Advertiser at $1,300 a year and
getting ready to leave because his salary
was not raised to $1,500. Prabably Mr.
Jones never thought enough about the poor
newspaperman to fix his face very firmly
in his memory.
When Blaine was elected Speaker it was
said that within twenty-four hours he knew
every member by name and sight, and his
State, district and politics, though this re
markable rapidity of thorough memorizing
has been equalled by Speaker Carlisle, who
forgot but one new member’s face and
name. Judge Nutting, of New York, and
greatly was Mr. Carlisle pained at this slip
up. Many members get well into their
second term before they know all their as
sociates even by sight, to say nothing of
their names.
A distinguished member of the House hap
pened to be sitting in the gallery one day
with a newspaper correspondent. It was
well on to the close of the second session.
A member arose and made a motion.
“Is that man a memoer of this House ?”
asked the distinguished member.”
“Yes, and this is his second term.”
“Well, I never saw nor heard of that man
before;” and yet the man who made this re
mark was regarded as one of the leader's in
the House.
Tom Reed would never have nrade such
confession. If he cultivates the habit of
remembering names and faces, he gives no
sign of such habit. The gift seems to be a
natural one with him, and he once said that
he never looked a man in the fat® that some
striking peculiarity, a line, a wrinkle, an
expression about the eyes, the setting of the
lifts, the cant of the nose, something set that
man's face down in his mind ineradicably,
and distinguished him from all the rest of
mankind. So that when a man approached
kirn he would think, “here comes that man
Robinson, whose right pupil is bigger than
his left,” or “this is Thompson, whose nose
is so crooked.” Mr. Reed never stands on
personalities, either.
“My name’s Reed, what’s yours!” is a
common habit of self-introduction with
him. This gift has pulled him through one
or two hard struggles in Portland, for it
has gained him friends, who stuck to him
at a time when friends were precious.
Bx-Gov. Long, of Massachusetts, rather
prides himself upon his ability to call every
body by name whom he has ever met, and it
pleases him, too, to get the better of those
whom ho thus approaches. It is said of the
Governor when he was an active politician
in the Beacon street State house, that he
know every man in Massachusetts worth
knowing, and a good man}' who were not.
Rut every man who had a vote was worth
the acquaintance of John D. Long. When
he took his seat in Congress, he marie it a
Point to introduce himself, or be introduced,
to every one of his fellow members at once,
end liefore a week had gone he could
call every member of the House by name.
It didn't cost him any friendship, either.
Levi p. Morton has recently been re
ported as saying that he had acquired the
lacuity of remembering names and faces,
"Ut that it had cost him no little effort and
Practice. He fastens a name to a face by a
system of mnemonics, and now allows no
man to remind him that they were once in
troduced to each other. But Mr. Morton’s
motive is not a selfish one, for of all our
public men none has a kinder heart or truer
s*nse of courtesy than he.
Marshall Jewell owed very much of the
popularity that carried him at one time to
quite lofty political heights to his faculty of
‘ailing men at once by their names. He
was everybody's friend while a tanner in
“*rtfora, long before he ever thought of
entering politics, and very greatly did this
faculty aid him during his canvasses for
Governor.
In this respect he differed from Gen. Haw
ley, whose greatest weakness as it politician
is his inability to remember faces and
names. He has often wounded men through
this failing that an impression has prevailed,
which does him great injustice, that he is
haughty and snubs because* he wishes to.
In fact, his friends have often been called
upon to apologize for what men have thought
rudeness, ana many times has the complaint
been heard that Hawley was a man whom
you needed to he introduced to every time
you met him. But he is the last man will
ingly to give offense in this way. He simply
does not remember.
Another Connecticut man served six con
secutive terms in Congress, largely because
he never forgot a man whom he once met,
anil not only knew them again when they
met, but recalled the names of all their
relatives. His capacity in this respect was
wonderful, and it was said while he was in
Congress that he knew more of the govern
ment clerks by name than any half dozen
other Congressmen altogether did. This
was the venerable John T. Wait, whose
service in Congress expired with the last
session.
Senator Matt Ransom owes his influence
in North Carolina almost wholly to this gift.
No matter how grizzly the farmer’s beard,
nor how faded his buttonwood trousers,
Ransom knows his name and gi ves him a
grip when he meets him, though it may
have been a score of years since they last
met. Mahone, of Virginia, was reputed to
know every soldier in his brigade by name,
and he could call more men in Virginia by
their names during his political canvasses
than any other politician there. Gov.
Green, of New Jersey and ex-Senator
Thomas C. Platt also possess this faculty.
Among lesser politicians in New York Mr.
Jacob Hess owes much of his influence to
the fact that he never forgets a name,
nor does Mr. Robert McCord. In this re
spect they have great advantages over
Mr. Barney Biglin and Mr. John E. Brods
ky. who sometimes pain men by failing to
remember who have been introduced to
them. ,
ODD THINGS IN JAPAN.
Catching Fish with Cormorants and
Bathing Oftener than Any Other
People.
Dr. Parkhurst in the Indianapolis Journal.
Fish form a great food staple, and are
taken in many ways. One day soon after I
arrived I saw a man standing on a log in
the river. He had a dip net in his
hand. On the end of the log was a cormo
rant with a ring about its neck. Presently
the bird dived in the water and came to the
log with a fish in its mouth. The man put
his net over the bird’s head, and by a twist
took the fish i u his net, from which he trans
ferred it to bis pouch. The ring was put
about the bird’s neck when it was young,
and its head had grown so that it could not
get it off. If it had not been for the ring
the bird would have swallowed the fish.
They sell their fish alive. They have buck
ets like the end of a barrel, about two inches
deep, in which they put some water ami
carry the fish about in them.
Everything they do seems the reverse of
our customs. They saw toward themselves
and planet oward themselves. The men sew,
and in sewing push the needle from them.
They staud their horses in the stalls with
their heads out. I asked a man why they
did not turn them the other way, and he
said the horse would get more fresh air with
his head that way, and besides, a man was
usually not in a hurry when he put his
horse up, but he might be when he took him
out, and not have time to back him out and
turn him round. I suppose, as they live on
the other side of the earth and have their
heads down all the time, it comas natural
for them to do opposite to us.
They are very kindly, pleasant, affable
people. They are very cleanly. I think
they bathe oftener thaii any other people on
earth. The common vehicle of the country
is a two-wheeled cart pulled by coolies.
These men go quite rapidly. One of them
pulled me forty miles in one day, to the
top of a mountain range, making an ascent
of 6,000 feet. They do not wear the shoes
in the house that they wear out of doors,
hence their houses Are marvellously clean.
They tend their gardens very carefully, and
trim their evergreens in fantastic shapes.
If you look in a garden at night it appears
full of elephants and other anitftals. The
women put their hair up in fanciful shapes,
butterflies, fans and other objects being
imitated. It is is dressed with a sorted
gluten, and becomes hard when dry. It
will retain its shape for a month after dress
ing. They have no bonnets. By the way,
do you know that two-thirds of the women
on the earth never saw a bonnet, and they
would not know what to do with them if
they did see them. The men wear no hats.
The Japanese do not wear pigtails. They
shave their hair through the centre and
bring the sides to a knot at the top.
The country is beautiful to see and de
lightful to travel through, but the peonle,
as to honor, purity and veracity are in a
deplorable state. There is no such thing as
business honor among them. No one be
lieves any one with whom lie is dealing. It
was for many years the custom for anv one
who wanted to get rid of a girl to sell her
to a tea-house. Girls who had no one to
look after them were sold in the same way.
These tea-houses are scattered all over the
country, like saloons. The tea is served by
girls exclusively, and these girls are also
kept there for vile purposes. This is uni
versal. If the girl who serves you is sent
from the room the keeper comes to ask if
she has been impudent or has done anything
out of the way. Formerly, if a girl ran
away from one of these houses, the police
brought her back and compelled her to stay,
but by the force of foreign influence this
has been changed, and now a girl may
abandon this life if she wishes to do so.
The Japanese are very volatile and fickle
in everything. One may give $1,500 for a
fancy pig to-day, and one year from now
he would not accept it as a present. They
are the French of Asia; the Chinese are the
Germans. Converts to Christianity are
made much more easily among the Japan
ese than among the Chinese, but you never
can tell how Jong they will remain Chris
tians. The Chinese understand the per
severance of the saints and practice it.
Overrated.
From the Arkansaw Traveler.
A widow who, having come from the
East and established herself in a Western
town, was visited by a friend from the old
home. . ,
“Well, how do you like it out here, any
way!”
“Not very well."
“People too rough for you?”
“They are not only rough—they are pe
culiar; and, in fact, the men are greatly
overrated.”
“In what way !”
“Well, I’ll make a plain statement and
let you draw vour own conclusions. I had
read in the newspapers that women were in
demand out here, and I naturally expected
some little attention.”
“Didn’t you receive it?”
“Wait until I get through with my state
ment, please. I bought me a light-colored
wig, got anew set of teeth, had my glass
eyes reglazed and plunged into the mad
whirl of society. That was six months ago,
and I am still a widow.”
“Pretty bail, I must admit; but didn’t you
get any proposals V’
“One.’
“Why didn’t you take him? ’
“Influenced too much by appearances,
doubtless. Perhaps I did wrong in rejecting
him, hut 1 was girlish in my notions. He
had only one leg, wait almost blind, was un
doubtedly addicted to the use of liquor, was
in debt, swore considerably, chewed navy
tobacco, and was a great liar. Perhaps,
though, regardless of appearances, I would
have married him, had I not heard a
damaging report concerning hint.”
“What was It?”
“Why, I heat'd that be was not a lower of
the fine arts. Oh, yes, the men out in this
..Boi-t of the country are,g' wttly ovenraitfO.”

CHICKERING
THE NANO
For Pure Singing Tone.
... —.’u
The American Art Journal of Now York
thus speaks of Mrs. Cocilfa U. P. Cary, of
Rochester, N. Y. who is now raooguizad as
one of the finest Pianists and most sticcess
ful Teachers that America has produced:
“Mrs. Cary made fiyitig Visits to New
York, receiving valuable instruction from
8. B. Mills, and drawing inspiration from
those two great tone masters, Tbalberg and
Gottschalk. The production of a pure
singing tone had always* been a study with
her, and, observing that these two great
pianists used only the Chicierivg Pianos,
she made a thorough investigation, which
resulted in her purchasing fjheJh'st, (thick
ering Grand that went into Western New
York. Since that time Mrs. C'ary has been
a firm and steadfast friend pf that Piano
Forte, and it is a matter of conscience with
her to advise the use of these instruments
with her class, over 70 of whom possess
Chiekering Grands.
A Word to the Wiwr, —A Piano which
is used and indorsed by sneh magnificent
artists as Thalberg, Gottschalk, Rivi King,
Teresa Careuo, Wnt. H. SjUierwoofi and Mrs.
Cary is certainly a safo.and desirable Piano
to buy. Over 74,000 Chickeriugs have lieen
sold, and to-day, as always, the Chickering
Pianos lead the world. 1

1 Great Problem
Of how to get a home has been practically
solved in the facilities offered in these day* hy
the associations at work in our city. No one
should be
WITHOUT A HOME
with such advantages at their command. If
the reader really means business and wishes to
avail himself of the benefits which others are
enjoying, I ask to be informed of it.
A willing mind and a little cash are mot* tha*
apt to result in a trade.
C. H. DORSETT,

now than for years before.

tuls philanthropic object. For the
Benefit of My Patrons
I try to keep abreast of the times, and am pre
pared to give them the benefit of all these dif
ferent plans for easing the burdens of life.
