Y., in the chatr) on the legis- lative, executive and jodicial appropriation bill_the item for the compensation of Sena tors (which is the first item In the bil!) hay- ing been read, which fixes the salary at $4.500, Mr. Baker (1nd.) moved to reduce it to $3,000. Rejected. Mr. Foster (Ohio) moved to reduce it to $2,700, and intimated that the democratic najority, if it wanted to be consistent, should vote for the redvction to £2,700. Mr. Randall (interranting )—Wnhy did you ot propose that amenament in the commit tee, instead of resisting the reduction of the paltry 10 per cent. we brve made? Mr. Foster.—I am not to be catechised on the floor. Mr. Randall (persistently.)—I want to show to the country &nd the House the inconsist- eney and the mo oem of the gentleman from Obio in coming here and offering an amend- Ment to reduce the salaries of members to 2.700, while be resisted in the committee the reduction of £500. Mr. Foster—I have @ good answer to the attack. Mr. Randall.—I ha Mr. Foster—You have charged me with duplicity and inconsistency. Mr. Randall.—There ts no sincerity tn your amendment, and you do not expect it io be adopted. Mr. Foster. nme! it and see. Mr Randall—The Committee on Appro- priations has fixed the compensatioa of members where i think the people of the country Will be satisfied. Mr. Foster asserted that he offered the amendment in good faith, as hedid every- thing. There was no demagoguery about bim, and the gentleman well koew it. There was no consistency in this bill unless the salaries of members were reduced to $2,700, #5 that would be reduction of 10 per cent. on the salaries ag fixed when those of clerks in the departments were fixed. After further debate, the question being on Foster's amendment— Mr. Foster asked . Randall to allow a vole by yeas and nays in the House. Mr. Nandall said that in this early stage of the bili he was unwilling to depart from the usual rule. Mr. Foster.—There is no rule against that. Mr. Randall.— Well, the usual practice. Mr. Foster—Will you allow me to offer the amendment in the House? Mr. Randall.—I am not so instructed b; committee. (Laughter on the republican side] I will vote for it. * Mr. Townsend (N. Y.) bad no hesitation in declaring himself opposed to the aimend- ment of the gentleman from Ohio, (Foster), &s he was opposed to the proposition of the committee. He had come here under a sub- stantial contract between himself and the people, tbat he was to be aliowed $5,008 year for bis services, and he was unwilling te allow any set of persons to practice repu- diation on him. [Laughter.) Hedid not be- lieve that the people desired to give over their cestinies to professional politicians or torich mep. He wished he was rich too. The present 7 was not too much for any man who could not live out of his pri- vate fortune or out of post-traderships, or out of railroad grants, and there was not enough of them to around. {|Laughter.] If members were to live at all, aud to settle with their boarding house keepers and wash- erwomen, beans J would never reduce their sal- aries. (Laughter. The question was taken on Foster's amend- ment to fix the pay at $2,709. and it was re- jected, there being but 24 votes in the affirm- ative. Th made no attack. the was airo rejected. Mr. Kelly (Pa.) moved tostrike out $4,500 and insert $5,000, and spoke in favor of that motion. Mr. O'Brien (Md.) supported Mr. Kelley’s motion, and expressed the belief that the re- ductions in the bill would interfere with the ordinary routine of the government. Mr. Singleton ( Miss.) defended the bill, and insisted that a of £4,500 ought to be satisfactory to any member. Mr. Jenks (Pa.) jted on the reduction or Hols (Ind.) argued that the adop- Tr. Holman .. tion of Mr. Kelley’s amendment would be a virtua] akandonment of ev: proposition of retrenchment. He thought it a salary of $3,600 for members would conform more to the salaries id by the states than a salary of $5,000, and he would be glad to see it re duced to that figure. Mr. Douglass (Va.) moved to fix the sala- Ties at $3,600, and remarked that so faras the question of rich and poor was concerned he might say for the southern element particu- larly, “The poor ye have always with ye.” He ‘was sure that no member in the House was in greater need than himeelf, but if the presence of the majority on this floor meant anything it meant that it was a representa- tive expression of the demands of the people for retrenchment and reform. Mr. O’Brien ( Md.) argued that a reduction of salaries was not demanded by any public sentiment, and said that it wasa small mat- ter as com) with the gigantic fraud to which the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Holman) already pledged himself. He referred to that gentleman as being nomi- wally the vice chairman of the Committee on A riations but ‘tically the leader of that committee. Mr. Holman) was the kite and the rest of the committee were the tail, and on the tail was emblazoned the shibboleth “Economy;” while at the same time that gentleman was pledged to vote for @ bill that_would take a hundred millions out of the Treasury. Mr. Holman.— bill is that? = Ye rept bounty bill which you are su, Br. Holman. Mayi certainly, 1 am for at. (Laughter.) Mr O’Brien.—The gentleman from Indiana Proposes a reduction of salaries, while he would take one hundred millions at one sw in the way of bounties to soldiers who bave been ali ly overpaid. Mr. Holman (Ind.) defended his position on the subject of the bounty bill, and eulo- gized the brave men who had éo nobly fought the battles of the late war, and to whose rils and sacrifice the counts jor the maintenance of the expressed indignation that such a bill should be cterized as @ gigantic fraud.

Trade in Germany is conducted on such entirely foreign principles to our’s that it re- quires a great deal of patience to make the most trifling purchase. This estimable vir- tue being one of the sterling Teutonic qrali- ties we find them a most tiresome people to deal with. The trouble in dealing with the small trades people, who are not Ger mans, proper, is that they have no fixed price. Tnere amy & choice between paying the one asked ora | 1 With thesalesman. Ifitbea man itis Frorth while to adopt the latter course, but woe be unto the unsuspecting individual who tempts to drive a bargain with a woman. Once go 80 far as to ask, “Is this the lowest price yeu can take for it?” and, under no cir- cumstances, will she allow you to leave ‘without having & purchase. She will do more talking over one little article than man would in selling off the entire stock. With Germans ves there is &@ most dead-and-alive, ‘uninterested style of conducting business. You into a store and ask for something. “We haven't got it,” and that ends tue matter. Tney wil! you depart when a littie tact in dis) goots might e@s:ly bave pursund to purchase. An American salesman staling tnat they have not got a certain article will always add: “But we have some. thing similar wnich will perhaps suit you better.” The spirit however ts foreign to Germany. There they never make gorgeous window displays at the beginning of exch season, never advertire largely in the papers or by baudbilis as ts done tn our country. If they appear in p..nt atall it issimply a bust ness card without the slightest pretence to detailing. In large cities and watering places there are noticesin most store windows Stating thet “Jei on parie Francais.” There Was a time when we hailed with delight the coneisely worded announcement “Eng lish spoken,” but experience taught that one fares better by rpeaking, no matter how brokenly, the langarge of the country. Americans abroad xre alwa ing you reckless expenditure of money ing firmiy established. After our quick decimal reck- oning of dollars ana cents, the endless variety of Prussian, on, Austrian, Bavarian coins that are used in Germ: reem to cause endless waste of preci stime tn making change. Moreover arithmatic is not astrong point with the Germans and quick reckoners are scarce articles. t that the country cannot boast as fine mathematicians as any other. 1 speak of the general knowledge of this branch of study which is very deficient. Lately they bave iutrodveed Prussian Mark money of the decimal order which will gradually serve to straighten out affairs in this direction. THE ANNOYING FEE SYSTEM ANROAD. One annoying little detail in making a purchase is that they use newspapers for wrapping paper. Few and far between are the establishments liberal or enterprisin, ebough to provide sultab rand twine. German newspapers are smali, and the print ix sure to rub off on your gloves, besides there is always & mean appearance About @ bewspaper parcel, So you Act upon the shop keeper's suggestion abd have itseut home. That invariably involves a fee t» the person who brings it. The European custom of fee- ing is a most miserable one tn many re- spécts, both aanoying to travelers and ruin- ous to servants. It!s astonishing how many persons in Germany serve in positions where they obtain no salary and look for ali remn- neration in fees. @ errand boy, for in- stance, who brings your pavcel you feel in duty bound to fee, knowing that he receives no other =. A person traveling in Earope may be delighted with the moderation of thelr hotel bills; but take into consideration the hosts of servants to be feed before you leave the house, and they are not so strik- ingly moderate after all. Ladies traveling Without gentleman escort are especial vic- Ums to this abominable custom. Every ser- vant tn the botel manvages in some way to dance attendance, and then when the Ume of departure comes they stand in most appalling numbers around the front door wishing you in chor pleasant jour- ney as you hand out the fees. At first we did not fee the gentlemanly head waiter who received us when we came and helped us With the air of @ prince into the carriage upon leaving, fearing to commit a blunder acdoffend his pride. But this was a dela- sion s00n gotten over, for we never met any one short of the proprietor of an establish- ment himself too ad to takea fee. Be. sides the expense, it is a most annoying Uning to have to continually be opening your SS for trifling fees. If, however, an dividual to whom it is due sees no pros- pect of its forthcoming unasked, he never allows modesty to at his making the request. They call it frinkgel!, or drinking Money, that being supposed to be its use, but to many I presume it is food and drink and raiment. In all carriages Bled tariff is hung, 60 there Is no er of exor- bitant backmen, but if you do not ap portmonnaie in hard as he opens the door then, comes the unfailing “Trinkgeld, Prau- ein.” STREET CONVEYANCES. Street cars are not so common & mode of conveyance as in our country; they only run in large cities. Last summer @ tramway was introduced in Wiesbaden, quitean event to the old iuhabitants. The cars are niceiy built, comprining three differeutiy classed com partments. conductors and drivers are uniformed, and the whole affair very bigh-toved in com; to our modes of public conveyance. A great convenience are the Dienstimaenner, answering somewhat to our DISTRICT TELEGRAPH BOYS excepting that being men they do every ser- vice, from carrying trunks to the depot or moving furniture, to buying your theater Uckets for you. Every one of them wears a great brass number label; remembering this you can trust them with any amount to change. They and the police generally stand ig the squares throughout the city. THE GERMAN POLICE are a solemn body. Their regulations for preserving order and quiet are most strin- gent, and strike terror into the hearts of the children. You will find no boys who play ball, throw stones, aud then sing out defying dittle ditties to “carps” and ‘“peelers,” do our American youths. There is too much solemn reverence for ‘thing of that kind. ce eae: eanor deflance is uni wht of. There is @ fine for every- Uning thrown from a window down upon the street below. Not even is clothing allowei to be brushed or shaken out of any but a rear ueutly fined when in cleaning & room they shake out the rugs upon the below. The police watch so sharply that you are sure to be caught at &n offence of this Kind, and made to pay about @ Prussian thaler.

DOCTORS AND DENTISTS stand bat little chance of making fortanes in Germany. Unless people are in very good circumstances they consider money wasted tbat 1s spent for Whe preservation of the teeth. Were it not that oer are such a healthy ne- tion, and eatso little focd that injures une teeth, I think we ould find the lower classes @ toothless set of people. Indeed. in one remote viliage that 1 visited, such w thing as dentist was unknown bat name. All the population over forty of age were minus many if not ali of their teeth, never baying taken the slightest care of them. Being honest, simple minded country folks, they regarded with borror the idea of anything artificial, and consiered it far better to “gum tt” all thelr days thea wear false teeth.

Knowing this, was very careful in narrating some of the peculiari- tes of Our American tollet, not to mention this feature, fearing to give them | shock. 1 Hi sult would =0, to them, melancholy piece of Bat to 1cturn to the dentists.

Some enter- peising individual in large cities frequenuy bangs out & sign, “American Destist” thereby secoring the patronage of al ish-speaking strangers, who always after regret bot having gone to oue who better an- derstood bis profession. GEKMAN PHYSICIANS The family physicians have a very embar- rasting custom ofsending out no bills. You fee them as you feel disposed and Sack @ castom could in this day be only prevaient among bonest Germans. It Is rather embar- rassing lo Us, Who are so business like im every particular and who bave always been aceusiomed to pay for the alleviation of physical suffering just as we pay for a new garment or settle au account @t the grocer’s. A German doctor holds a position: to be a doctor's wife or to belong to bis family is to command great respect. They are @ highly educated class of peeple and thoroughly “understand their profession. With them it ts ne —y up business be- cwuse it pays well. Of even the drog clerks, & more thorough teal education ts re- quired than that on which some of our col- leges graduate so many young doctors every year.
