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.” THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1887. CHEAP ADVERTISING. ONE CENTRA WORD.
