BED-HEADED CONGRESSMEN.
It Is Proposed. That They Shall All Be
Sworn in at the Same Time.
From the Xew York Sun.
Washington, Dec. l.— According to the
Evening Star there are twenty-seven red
headed Representatives in the new House.
The number is vouched for by an officer of
the House who has kept a record. There
are many with sandy hair and hair that is
almost red—red enough to attract a gray
horse —but none of these are counted.
Twenty-seven heads to match
against twenty-seven horses of pure
white, heads that are pronounced red with
out qualification or excuse, will he assem
bler! m the House on Monday, and will light
that body on its way to wisdom next win
ter. There may be more yet to come, as
the returns are not yet complete. There is
a superstition which causes many members
to hope great things from a Congress pos
sessing this striking feature. Many Con
gresses have been noted for their gray
beads and bald heads, and some, it is
said, for their pig heads, but no Con
gress before could boast more than half a
dozen red heads. It is proposed that they
all be sworn in at once, standing in a circle
as of fire around the Speaker’s desk,
and there will be an anxiety on
the part of each committee to get one for
good luck. As there are forty-seven stand
ing committees there will not be enough
to go around, so there may be a pretty
sharp rivalry. One suggestion, to avoid
complications that now threaten, is that
the Committees on Ways and Means and
Appropriations be composed entirely of red
beaded men. It is suggested also that all
the mounted messengers be required to ride
white horses. So many red heads assembled
together is supposed to mean vood luck, and
this is expected to turn out a “red-letter”
Congress.
One of the reddest heads is that on the
shoulders of McShano, of Nebraska, who is
very rich and is said to be a general good
fellow. Not less pronounced in hue is the
bead possessed by Mr. Boothman, of Ohio.
Mr. Byrnes’ beat! has been in Congress for
one session, bavin# succeeded the famous
head of Mr. Belford, who was familiarly
known as the “rea-headed rooster of
the Rockeys.” Mr. Vance, of Connecticut,
has a fine red head. The locks of his
colleague, Mr. Russell, are a bright sandy,
but he is not admitted into this list. Mr.
Pennington, of Delaware, has an undisputed
right to appear in the classification among
the mascots, The claim of Mr. Hopkins, of
Illinois, has been established in the past.
There can be no question about the color of
his hail - . Mr. Matson, of Indiana, is tne
only one who is admitted with some hesita
tion, but his friends urge that his hair is
red enough for all practical
purposes. His colleague, Mr. Cheadle, can
answer for the two, and if his name were
not Joseph B. it would be Rufus. Mr.
Daniel Ketr’s hair is red; that of his col
league is of a hue deep, rich and rare. Mr.
Coruth’s head is only sandy, so lie must be
excluded, with Rush of Maryland, Morse of
Massachusetts, and Tarney of Michigan,
who have not the requisite redness. John
Lin has red hair, so lias Felix Campbell, as
everybody knows. Ira Davenport’s deli
cately tinted locks were much admired
during the last Congress. John S. Hen
derson of North Carolina, Binger Herman
of Oregon, and John Dalzell of Pennsylva
nia, all have red heads. Neal of Tennessee,
and Silas Hare of Texas bring two more
good red heads to swell the number. Vir
ginia furnishes three red heads, worn by T.
11. B. Browne, W. H. F. Lee and Jacob
Yost. Wisconsin has Guenther and Isaac
Stephenson. Mr. Thomas’ hair is not a
clear red, but his whiskers make no apologv.
Smith of Arizona, and Voorhees of Wash
ington Territory are the two rod-headed
Delegates.
GARRISON’S ADVENT IN ST. LOUIS.
His Frightful Death Recalls a Chapter
from Dickens’ “American Notes."
From the New York Tribune.
St. Louis, Dec. I.—The death of C. R.
Garrison, who with his brother C. K. Gar
rison, met death on Mo day morning in a
Webb City zinc mine, recalls the fact that
bis advent in St. Louis attracted interna
tional attention. It was in January, 1842,
that Charles Dickens, on his first tour in
America, left the EasJ for a trip through
the West He came out to St. Louis in that
journey, and by June 7 was back in the
Rest. It was on his travels from Louisville
to St. Louis by steamboat, that he met with
a baby, who figured in a scene so sweetly
described by the novelist that thousands of
persons will think tenderly of the person
who made an impression upon the great
writer. The baby described in what fol
lows was C. R. Garrison:
‘‘On the fourth night after leaving jLouis
ville we reached St. Louis, and here I wit
nessed the conclusion of an incident, trifling
enough in itself, but very pleasant to see.
There was a little woman on board with a
little baby; both little woman and little
child were cheerful, good-looking, bright
eyed and fair to see. The little woman had
been passing a long time with her sick mother
in New York. The baby was born in her
mother’s house, and she had not seen her
husband {to whom she was now returning)
for twelve months, having left him a month
or two after their marriage.
“Well, to be sure, there never was a little
woman so full of hope and tenderness and
love and anxiety as this little woman was;
and all day long she w ondered whether “he”
would be at the wharf; and whether “he”
had got her letter; and whether if she sent
the baby ashore by somebody else, “he”
would know it, meeting it in the street;
which, seeing that he had never set eyes
upon it in his life, was not very likelv in the
abstract, but was probably enough to the
young mother. She was such an artlesss
little creature, and was in such a funny,
beaming, hopeful state, and let out all this
matter clinging close about her heart so
freely that all the other lady passengers en
tered into the spirit of it as much as she.
There was one little weazen, dried-apple
faced old woman who took occasion to
doubt the constancy of hus
. bands in such circumstances of
bereavement; and there was another lady
(with a lap dog) old enough to moralize on
the lightness of human affections, and yet
not so old that she could help nursing the
baby now and then, or laughing like the rest
when the little woman called it by its
father’s name and asked it nil manner of
fantastic questions concerning him and the
joy of her heart. Then a groat crowd of
people rushed on board, tnough the boat was
not yet made fast, but was wandering about
among the other boats to find a landing
place; and everybody' looked for the hus
band; and nobody saw him; when in the
midst of us all —heaven knows how she ever
got there—there was the littlo woman cling
ing with both arms tight around the neck
of a lino, good looking, sturdy young fellow.
And in a moment afterwards there she was
again actually dapping her littlo hands for
joy as she dragged him through the small
floor of her small cabin to look at the baby
as he lay asleep.

A Wonderful Food and Medicine.
Known and used by physicians all over the
world. Scott’s Emulsion not only gives
flesh and strength by virtue of its own nu
tritious properties, hut creates an appetite
for food that builds up the wasted body. "I
have been using Scott’s Emulsion for seve
ral years, and am pleased with its action.
My patients say it is pleasant and palatable,
and all grow stronger and gain flesh from
the use of it. I use it in all cases of wasting
diseases, and it is specially useful for chil
dren when nutrient medication is needed, as
in marasmus.” T. W. Pierce, M. D.,

OF THE
Pianos of llie lij!
Messrs, Chickering cb Sons:
Gentlemen—About two years ago I had
occasion to use one of your Concert Grand
Pianos. At the time I was so much im
pressed with its general excellence that I
have continued using your pianos both for
my concerts and for my own private use
since.
This has been done with the greatest satis
faction to myself, and I can truly say that
my decision has been justified by the re
sults.
Your pianos possess in a superlative degree
all the excellence required in a first-class
piano. While retaining the wonderful sing
ing quality for which the Chickering Piano
has always been so justly celebrated, and
has held the highest position in the art in
dustries, you have gained the maximum of
power, still retaining the even balance of
the scale throughout all the registers.
These qualities combined with the perfec
tion of the action and general mechanism
have placed your pianos, in my estimation,
at the head of the pianos of the day, and
enables me to say with enthusiasm that I
prefer them to any other make.
[Signed] Wm. H. Sherwood.
September 1, 1887.
And so it goes. Gottscbalk, Talberg,
Joseffy, Liszt, Rive King, Sherwood, and in
fact about all great piano virtuosos of the
world, unreservedly pronounce Chickering
the leader. Rival makers may dispute
this claim, but “facts are stubborn” and
won’t/ be set aside.
Superb new styles just opened. Abso

FINANCE
t GOOD, JUDICIOUS FINANCIER, who goes
**- slow and sure, looklug after his or her own
interests, will not ami cannot, in justice to them
selves, fail to note how much they can save by
pun-bashing their Clothing, Hats and Furnish
ing Goods of APPEL <t SCHAUL, the One-Price
Clothiers, who mark each and every article In
plain figures—no deviation whatever. Their
style of doing the one-price plan, PLAIN FIG
URES, is sufficient guarantee that the goods are
marked as low as can lie legitimately sold for,
as it is a well-known fact that a strictly one
prleo plan of doing business cannot bo success
ful with fancy figures.
Then again, buying your Clothing of us you
do not run the risk of meeting some friend or
acquaintance with the identical Knit or Overcoat
bought at the same place at different prices.
You can send your child to us, who will re
ceive the same treatment as yourself. We never
misrepresent any article, as we give amemoran
dum slip to every cash purchase, entitling the
purchaser to return the article purchased in ten
days if uninjured, and full amount of cash re
funded.
We have our own Tailoring Department on
second lloor, where we make all alterations
necessary to a perfect tit or no sale.
We merely mention these few facts to show a
few of the benefits derived of us, and respect
fully invite those who have not given us a trial
lo do so, and we assure you, after getting ac
quainted with our style of doing business in gen
eral, you will favor us with your continual pat
ronage. We have in stock now and are receiv
ing some special novelties for the approaching
holidays, to w hich w e call especial attention.
