Finland, whose junction widi the Rus sian Empire dales from 1809, but which still retains the title of Grand Duchy m d some special institutions of its own, incl cl ing a Diet, presents very strange features as regaids language. The bulk of the popu • j lation, being of Ugrian descent, kindred to the Magyars, speak the Finnic tongue. From t e ancient connection of the Grand Duchy with Sweden, the Swedish language is, however, also used by a section of the inhabitants Owing to the present union with the , dominions of the Czar, the Russian idiom is added to it. Thus, at the open ng ot tie . Diet at Helsingfors a few days ego, the Governor General read the speech from the j throne in Russian. Then a Senator repeat- . ed it in Swedish, and another in Finnic. The ' Marshal of the principality, Freiherr Von Born a “German-Russian,” replied in French. The same was done by the repre- ■ sentative of the clergy, Archbishop Bergen- ; heim. The speaker of the peasant order i followed with a harangue in the Finnic tongue. Surely that is the country for a congress of philologists. “ROUGH ON PAIN” PLASTER’ Porous and strengthening, improved, the i best for backache, pains in the chest or 1 side, rheumatism, neuralgia. 25c. Drug gist or mail, FROM NEW ORLEANS. The Great Exposition—Matters Getting Rapidly Arranged—Mexico’s Splendid Exhibit—Several Interesting New Features—New Orleans’ Future Prospects. Special Correspondence Daily Times. New Orleans, Jan. 17. —The public could not wish for more favorable weather than has been granted this week. To look out over the parks of the city and around the Exposition buildings and see the green grass growing so luxuriantly, is enough to make one feel there is nothing else but spring—-hereabouts. Among the important personages now visiting this section is Chief Gaul of the Sioux tribe of Indians, Standing Rock Agency, Dakota. He is accompanied by his squaw ard papoose; and they are making headquarters at the Dakota department in the government building, where the little family are the wonder, if not the admira tion, of the populace. The canceling of the engagement with Prof. Currier and baud by the Exposition Management is nothing serious, as there are many band", as tine if not so 1 arge, which will be glad to furnish music, even compli mentary, at any time. Notably, the Mexi can Cavalry Band, one of the best organi zations of the kind in America, tender their services without charge. Again, the grand organ in Music Hall is about ready for use, and will be played every day by celebrated performers. The State of Chihuahua, Mexico, has a piece of silver bullion on exhibition in Main building weighing 5,640 lbs., worth $114,- 000. Your readers may be surprised to learn the Mexican iron building under headway, though covering a small space, will cost that Government no less than $175,000. It is being so scientifically constructed that it can be taken down in sections, when the Exposition closes here, and shipped to the City of Mexico as a memento of its -epre sentation in the United States; and where Mexico itself expects to hold high carntvil next year ; when that Republic hopes to have the world visit her. The government building, wherein the Territories and States display their exhibits, is occupied in the centre by representations from the various Departments of the United States Government at Washington City. The expenditure of the money appropriated by the government, amounting to something like $500,000, and the selection of articles for exhibition, was entrusted to a Board of Commissioners, as follows: Colonel S. C. Lyford, War; C. H. Hill, State; Lieutenant B. H. Buckingham, Navy; W. F. McLeman, Treasury; A. D. Hazen, Post Office; B. But terworth, Interior; Cecil Clay, Justice; W. Sanders, Agricultural Departments; Prof. G. B Goode, Smithsonian Institute and the National Museum, and U. S. Fish Commission. The principal feature of this exhibit is an immense globe fifty feet in diameter, Upon which is accurately deline ated all the geographical and political i divisions of the earth. Plainly described thereon appear various facts relati re to each country and government, such as its area, population, principal productions and industries, commerce, etc. This globe is so arranged as to be illuminated from within, so that its appearance as seen by artificial , light will be both novel and pretty, j Grouped around the base or below this ! globe are representative specimens of the | principal economic productions indigenous ito the different countries represented jthereon. | Upon large illustrated chart" an 1 dia i grams are presented to the eye information I relative to the productions, manufactures, | trade and commerce of each country, and : upon other charts are shown the relative ' distances of the many ports of Central and South America from the various shipping , ports of the United States as compared with I the distances of these same ports from those lof Europe. This department is surmounted I by an immense seat of the State Depart ment, painted on glass for illumination at night, around and over which is hung and draped our national emblem, while the whole is surrounded and framed in with the flags of all nations. The postoffice is about finished, an 1 natu j rally attracts the visitor by its uuiq ie and I business appearance. It is regulated after , the manner and under the management of i the New Orleans postoffice, by Pos m ister W. f. Merchant One can transact bt: uess ;as well here as anywhere, being supplied I with all the conveniences even to letter carriers, who deliver mail anywheie proper ly addressed within the grounds. It will be glorious news to every gooi ciliz-nof this great country to learn ihat the S. utii is entering on a new life, and New Orleans will be the busy centre of that life. The seven million bales of cotton raised ! from the Ohio to the Gulf Mexico, and , from the Atlantic to the Western border of Texas, will find a market here, and not only a market, but a place of manufacture, from whence it will be dispersed abroad to clothe the people of the world. The cotton alone is worth more than $200,000,000. Place the imports on what it will have paid for at a similar sum, and you have a possible out come of commerce of $400,000,000 per an num, arising from a single article. Reynolds.

HAPPENINGS AT THE FEDERAL CAPITAL. The Hydra-Headed Tariff—Talk About an Extra Session—Sherman as a Kisser . —A Senatorial Veteran—Fred Grant’s Necessities—Social Bankrupts Fine Din ners aud Fine Diners. i Special Correspondent Daily Times. , Washington, Jan. 17—The tariff ques tion will not down. It rises in various shapes when least expected. No one sus pected that behind the mask of the staid, > and solemn diplomatic and Consular bill : lurked this tariff spectre, which has haunted i the halls of Congress now for many months ; i demanding justice. In the consideration of i | the Consular bill to day, before that meas . I ure finally passed, the Hall of Representa tives was filled with the presence of this in visible, intangible ghost. It revived all the animosities of the old tariff debates. Mr. ‘ Townshend offered an amendment, request i ing the President to invite the co-operation ■ of all the American nations to secure the | establishment of a commercial league, with ‘: the ultimate view (reading the resolution between the lines) of bringing about un hampered reciprocity of trade. Under a point of order raised by Mr. Randall, the amendment was not received, but it served . to provoke a significant discussion. Mr. Townshend maintained that the measure he proposed would serve more ef fectually than reciprocity treaties, to extend our foreign market. Mr. Cox regretted , that Mr. Townshend’s amendment should , I be ruled out, and declared that it was time . | that Congress understood that times were i hard. Then the House squared itsel. i for a rattling forty minutes de- j : | bate on reciprocity and free trade. Messrs ■ ' Dorsheitner and Cox ascribed the present i I languishing condition of our industries to i Republican ma! administration and protec- > | tion. Messrs. Reed an! Hiscock did not I I meet the issue fairly, but attributed tie : I business depression of which so many com- I , I plaints come to the doors of Congress to i Democratic success. While this debate did I I not perhaps promote the interest of either . I side of the controversy , it made manifest the i 1 fact that the condition of our industries and I ; ■ the need of remedial legislation have deep sj ly touched the conscieuce of Congress. The ’ i financial distress of the country and the de- i cay of industries come up as substantial j realities, which shake the faith of honest , protectionists. Their theories never re • i ceived so severe a test. The pages in history . ; which the new Congress is to fill promise to . ! be most significant, so many relations are to II be adjusted, so many blanks are to be | filled. The question of our [ i i foreign commerce, the pending treaties and j j the proposed increase of the navy, while | separate and independent subjects of legisla- | ! tion, are closely identified, aud underneath I ! them all lies the necessity of reviving our I . industries. To obtain a foreign market it | is considered necessary to open our ports, or ■ to enter into treaties of reciprocity. The I change in our foreign relations, wh ch would follow an endeavor to extend our commerce, I would demand the creation and mainten- I ance of a respectable navy. Thus it is that the restless tariff apparition, assuming many shapes, comes unbidden to break in upon I the hum-drum harmony of legislative de-| bates, and will continue to haunt the capi- | tol until the demand for intelligent and ; ■ effective legislation is met. While the pressing demands upon Con- ■ - gress, for legislation on matters of import-! ance indicates that an extra session of Con- I 1 gress may become necessary, it is evident ; that there is a strong feeling among mem- ! : bers of the House against such a session. : Mr. Randall is censured by his own party i 1 friends because his attitude regarding the ■ Naval appropriation may provoke an extra ■ session. From year to year, the increasing demands upon Congress makes it more ap parent, that the ordinary sessions of Con ' gress are inadequate for the transaction of ' business of the Government. A vast ma jority of the hundreds of bills, now lying upon the Speaker’s table, will pass over , j among the things “that might have been” ' ' at noon of March the 4th next, many of I j them never to be resurrected, and to serve ’ in the House as sad reminders of hurried [ I sessions, of which they were the victims. A story is pi inted here this evening which : , adds another bit of testimony to the mass , ■ already printed, going to show that General , Sherman still maintains his reputation as an adept in osculation. ' < General Sherman and General Schenck I met on a street corner here, the other day. ■ j After the usual salutations, Schenck inquired: ; ( “Tell me, General, who was that woman ■ , you kissed after ’.he reception, the other . I night?” _ j ■ Sherman was at n loss at first to recall just , I the one Schenck referred to, but in a mo- I ment looked up and said: “Oh, I remember; but blessed if I know - ( who she was’” “Did you know,” asked Schenck, “that j. she was a married woman?” “No, indeed,” said Sherman; “and 1, j haven’t seen her since. You, see, they all . stood up there in line, and I just waded in; but. I remember the one you mean.” After the two old fellows had tried in vain to figure out who the woman could be, < Sherman remarked: “Well, she was a fine woman, certainly. 1 Did you notice how well she stood upon her ; fetlock joints?” This scrap of conversation affords a big fund of suggestion. The young ladies were , all placed in line for the General to kiss. A General on the retired list enjoys many privileges which are denied to persons of , less distinction. One of the most conspicuous and well known figures to be seen on the floor of the - . i Senate is that of Assistant Doorkeper, Isaac 11 ! Barrett, known among his acquaintances as | ( I “Captain” Barrett. Mr. Birrett has not only I , grown gray in the service of the Senate, but also grown up in it. For more than half a century he has been daily in attendance on the floor of the Senate chamber in one ca pacity or another. He has known two or three geueratians of statesmen, and has wit - nessed the most memorable events in the annals of the Senate. He was appointed a page in the Senate in 1831, and served in that capacity and as messenger until 1861, when he was appointed to his present posi tion of Assistant Doorkeeper. Mr. Barrett has a memory stored with recollections o r some of the most distinguished men of the country, and is fond of relating anecdotes of Clay, Calhoun and Webster. He may be seen any day standing or sitting near the desk of the President of the Senate, regu lating with becoming dignity the conduct of the frolicsome youngsters employed as pages He is neatly dressed in black, and his long, white hair and patriarchal beard are always in the best of trim, and receive every morning the careful attention of the Capitol barber. On the fifteenth anniversary of the day of his appointment in 1831, Mr. Barrett was presented with a handsome silver snufi' box by Senator Bayard, in behalf of the Sen ators, as a token of the esteem in which he was held by them. I have mentioned that venerable door keeper rejoices in the title of “Captain,” and upon inquiry I have learned that, though Mr. Barrett’s military exploits are not extensive, the title was fairly conferred. In January, 1862, the employes of the Sen ate organized a militia company for the defense of the Capitol, and elected Mr. Bar rett Captain, and Senator A. P. Gorman, who was then a page, First Lieutenant. Their services were not, however, accepted by the govenrnment,and the only glory won by them was the military titles in which some of them still rejoice. Among the applicants for the vacancy which will be made in the Quartermaster’s Department next week by the retirement of Major Eckerson, is Fred D. Grant, erstwhile Colonel Fred Grant, whose for tunes, like his father’s, suffered through overconfidence in the sagacity of Ferdinand Ward. Where there ie special glory in the bloodless field of service assigned to Quar masters, to a man of broken fortunes the pay of a Captain with the privilege of wear ing gauntlets on State occasions offers great I inducements. ; The President has appointed a gentle- I man from this city, ami two from New York, a commission to examine and report upon forty.miles of Railroad in California, i 3,000 miles away. It may not have occur red to the Secretary of the Interior, or who mever is charged with the selection of such ' Commissioners, that he might, with some j diligence, in the interest of economy, have found three men, on the Pacific Coast com petent to testify that the ties had been [ properly laid, and the rails spiked down. These three gentlemen will make a 6,000 | rni|e journey, besides receiving a liberal compensation, and a very handsome allow ance for mileage. No lady, whose husband occupies a high official position, can expect an easy life in Washington. Speaker Carlisle’s wife, it is said, now owes 300 calls ami the delinquency inc eases every day There is no possibility of her discharging her social debts before she leaves the city for her home in the I spring. Social forms here do not exempt i even the Speaker’s wife from the burden of | returning calls.

Last evening General I ! and Mrs. Sheridan gave a brilliant reoep- I tion; Senator and Mrs. Miller gave a dinner I I at their handsome residence on Connecticut ; avenue, in honor of the President.

Chicago News. It was long ago predicted that Americans would become a nation of politicians. I Whether or not the crop of this rank grow ing product of our soil increases year by year, it is impossible to account by their number alone for the control which they have obtained of the affairs of govern ment. The number of persons who make politics a trade in this country is, of course, insignificant, when compared to the whole voting population. The ascendency which they have gained whereby they are com monly able to compel the people to their will, or to defeat any popular movement to which they have not given assent, must therefo e be due not so much to their own power as to some weakness or wrong method on the part of those who do the voting. It does not require a very long search- in this direction to find a sufficient explanation of the humiliate ing evil in our absurd and vicious methods of conducting political campaigns. As at present carried on, these are almost wholly managed on a basis of excitement rather than sober judgment and conscience, upon which every important act of mankind should be based. It is in the “craze of politics” that is found the opportunity of politicians and and the extremity of our political institutions. New York Produce Market.

A Remarkable Crank at Large—A Liter ary Genius Soars Aloft—Averdupois of Atlanta Newspaper Men—Bank Rob ber Jailed—Notes About Town, Special Dispatch to the Daily Times. Atlanta, January 19.—Quite a remark able citizen has turned up in Atlanta. He gives his name as Robert Shaw and his place of residence as St. Louis. He is the author of “Creation and Cosmos,” a thousand page treatise on religion and science. He is , taking subscribers for his book and does not develop his cranky inclinations until he begins to speak of himself. He claims that he descended from a king of Scotland, trac ing his lineage back sixteen centuries be fore Christ, or thirty-four hundred years ' before behind the present day. When he gets warmed up he says he is the rightful prince of Scotland and Ireland and the first . man in England, and exclaims “I am a veritable Kaesar of Kings and Yarl of Lords,” whatever that is. This able citi zen is several laps ahead of the Jackson county Lord Baltimore. Shaw also claims to be the Lion of the tribe of Judah and the Messiah, and yet he is at large. OFF HIS KER ZIP. It takes your Atlanta reporter to carry off the palm. Speaking of the suicideof a mem ber of the frail sisterhood Saturday, one of the scribes delivers himself thusly: “Sick at heart and weary of the torturous iniquity of her dissolute life, she sought re lief by means of a potion, the bitterness of which, by the solace it would bring, was changed into a honeyed sweetness, ambro sial, delicious and quieting. Soon the un happy heart ceased it dolorous beating, the nervous throb of the pulse grew still, and the spirit pleadingly winged its way to the Mercy seat, ‘where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest.’” The woman was buried yesterday.

Haas, Who Figur ered as a Swindler {in Savannah, Arrested in Washington. In the Daily Times of November 17th appeared an account of the swindling op erations of a young swell by the name H. E. Anderson, who accompanied to this city - another individual, Julius A. Haas, who - assumed aristocratic airs and who was be -3 lieved to be the principal in the actions s in which Anderson figured, but who man l aged to escape whilst Anderson was arrested. ’ The charges against Anderson were for - swindling livery stable proprietors and ho ' I tel people. Haas disappeared from here I on the day of Anderson’s arrest, and it was | thought had gone to Mexico. Sabsequent -1 ly it was learned he had skipped over to Charleston and had been guilty of some questionable transactions there. ! The Charleston News and Courier of this ' morning gives the following interesting ac ; count of how he was finally run down and i captured. i “On the 21st of November last, Julius A. I Haas, registered at the Charleston Hotel, ,; and after staying there four or five days I presented a check on the Bank of Charles i ton for $l2O, for which he wanted the cash. , The check was drawn payable to Julius A, ' Haas, and purported to have been signed by ; Mr. D. Bollmann. The clerk advanced ■ SSO to Hass, and the next day, when the check was sent to the bank, it was found to be worthless. In the meantime, how ever, Mr. Haas had left Charleston for . Wilmington, N. C., forgetting to pay his board bill. Mr. Jackson, the proprietor ot the hotel, immediately went before Trial Justice Gleason and took ont a warrant for the arrest of Haas, charging him with obtaining money under false pretences. Upon discovering that Haas had left the | city, he made application to the city author | ities for permission for Lieutenant Heidt, of the police force, to leave the city in pursuit. lof him. This permission was refused, on the ■ ground that it was against the rules govern ing the police department. Mr. Jackson . then sent one of his clerks to hunt for Haas, i He was tracked as far as Wilmington. N. C., where he had purchased a ticket for Norfolk, and here all clue of him was lost for a time. Haas next turned up in Washington, where he secured quarters at the Arlington House and represented himself to be a French count. While he was at this house, the Washington detectives got on his track. F rom the tree use of money and his dissolute habits they suspected that the Count was crooked, and the proprietors of the Arlington House were warned against him. After he had been at the hotel a week his bill was presented for settlement. Haas then disappeared again. On going to the room which he hud occupied the detec tives found a valise which seemed to be very full. They opened it and found that the ! contents consisted of two soiled shirts and a . quantity of earth. Haas in the meantime secured advances of SSO from two Washing ton lawyers, on the assurance that some of his noble relatives across the water had died and left him a fortune of seven million I marks. He was then arrested on the charge ; of vagrancy and of obtaining money under false pretences. By this time the detec ; tives had fonnd out that Haas was wanted in Charleston for forgery, and as his conviction in Washington would necessitate the attendance of witnesses from a long distance, they determined to bring him to Charleston. Haas prefe.’red to stand trial ; i and take his chances in Washington. On the preliminary hearing before the Police Court he withdrew the plea of not guilty, and entered the plea of guilty. The officers I were were too sharp for him, however, and carried the case to a higher court and en tered a nol pros., which the court allowed. Having obtained a requisition from the i Governor of South Carolina, they ‘bundled up’ the bogus Count and started with him to Charleston. Haas reached here yester i day afternoon in charge of Officer Henry I Roth, of the Capital detective force, and was at once taken to the Main station house. Mr. Powers, the chief clerk of the- Charleston Hotel, was notified of his arrival, and went down to the station house and identified the man. I “When Haas,was brought out of the cell in which he had been locked up he pre i sented a very sorry appearance, resembling a disfigured dude more than a French Count. “I can’t stay in that room, you know,” he remarked to Major Frost, “it’s too _ awfully cold, don't you know. I can’t do it. It’s not convenient.” ‘ The chief of police expressed polite re gret that the quarters were not convenient, and assured Mr. Haas that he would be sup plied with a genteel sufficiency of blankets — enough to keep him warm. He reminded the “Count,” however, that he could only provide such quarters as were usually set apart for the use of such persons as Mr. Haas. “But see here,” urged Mr. Haas, “it’s too cold, you know. It’s not at all the sort of thing.” “The interview was terminated by the chief of police with the remark that he was.
