MYSTERIES OF DEADHEADISH. Government Money Spent im Maintain- ing a Capitol Barber Shop. ‘Washington Correspondence New York Herald. ‘The star chamber, popularly known as the United States Senate, has a barber shop, main- tained at the public expense; bath-rooms, with hot water heated by government coal, and rumor declares that a steam laundry, with mangling machinery, for doing up the Senator- fal linen, is about to be added, Not alittle scandal has been evoked by the declaration of Senator Riddleberger that many of the private secretaries of the Senators did not receive their salaries, but transferred them to mysterious third parties, whose name and affiliations are susceptible of imagination rather than proof. Butof ali the features of this star chamber body the secret of the barber shop has been the best kept. Those who have known of its exist- ghee have, supposed that Senators paid for “tonsorial” work as they did for their clothes. This is an error. The two barbers in the Senate Shop “are not permitted to receive any fees or gratuities.” HIGH-PRICED SHAVING. ‘The salary of the head barber, John Hick- man, Is at the rate of $1,000 per year, and his assistant, Beverly Hnudnel, is paid $60 per month, The cleaning of senatorial faces costs, therefore, $1,720 per year. When one thinks of the Garzantuan size of some of the chins that | have to be shaved the sum appears small enough. But why, in the name. of Christian civilization, should the government pay for the shaving and bathing of United States Senators? Can it be possivle that such a high dignitary suffers no humiliation or parts with no sel respect when he loses his day's growth of beara at the nation’s expense? When the laundry added will he smuggle his wife's white cloth s to send his children to the free barber to get their hair cut for nothing? A cobbler will, doubtless, be added to the contingent expense account ih the natural progrestof deadheadism A CLASS DISTINCTION, These humiliating facts have become public in a curious way. It appears that the private | seeretaries of Senators, clerks of committees and other officers of the Senate have been in the habit of getting tree shaving in the sena- ber shop. But recently a sturdy kick le_ by several Senators, and since that vices of the barbers have been re- stricted to the more dignified “dead beats.” A. room down in the erypt almost under the sena- torial stationary warehouse, has been fftted up with a chair and mirror,and_ the clerks are mpelied to go there, A barber has been added by the sergeant-at-arms to the contin- gent account under the title of “laborer,” and at the rate of $60 per month, to scrub the lower caste chins. Naturally the clerks resent | this class distinction, and swear by the beard oft the Prophet that they will hereafter insist on paying for their halrcutting and shaving, | One of them, who has patronized the senatoriai barber for six years, assured. me this afternoon that it Was a very humiliating spectacle to see Senators waiting in a row for a free shave. fle ought to know, and I accept his statement as true. STANDING UP BARBER BILLS. © Walking over to the House before the morn- ing hour I found the congressional barber's shop running like a thrashing machine. It is one of the prime inducements to the contrac- tewart, that he has the privilege of all comers until twelve o'clock. He makes hay, or lather,to speak more accurately, while the forenoon lasts. “The congressmen are | pected to pay for their shaving, though a | small amount is allowed the boss’ barber for | Keeping clean towels and soap for soiled | | tor, Mr. bumanity.

From the Pall Mail Gazette, Of all the senses we possess the sense of touch isat once the most complex and the least un- derstood. Blindness and deafness are only too common, and we can all more or less appreci- ate the nature and extent of these dire aMic- | tions.

Have we, as some physiologists aver, a | th sense, that’ of temperature? If not, how es it that a single touch of the finger con- to the brain, in the same instant, two dis tinct Impressions, perhaps three, for "the sub- stance in question may be wet, as well as hot or cold, hazd or soit? Physiologists cannot tell us they only know that te sensations so conveye are'separable, and that the ways by which they reach the brain are not the same. ‘The subject is by no means new, but fresit light has lately been thrown on it ‘by the researches of two | Swiss savans, M. A. Herzen and Prof. Soret The observations of these gentlemen, besides being highly interesting, psychologicalty as well as physiologicaily, are of considerable prac- Ucul finportance in their relation to the train- ing of the blind. Pressure on a limb—as, for instance, when we asleep Jying on one of our arms—it con- Unued for soine time, makes it more or less numb, It gradually los of touch, the second that of cold, the third that ‘of pain, the last that of heat.’ He says that feel for it with the other, and it is impervious tou piveh or a prick, It is still sensible to the warmth of the other hand. It the pressure be prolonged, the limb ceases to be affected even by heat. “There are people, otherwise healthy, Whose capacity of feeling’ is $o far incomplete that they never know what it Is to be cold so ‘4S sensations conveyed by the skin are con- cerned. Winter is the same to them assummer, ‘This probably arises from an abnormal condition of the spinal cord. M. Herzen mentions the ease of an old woman whose legs, partially par- alyzed, could feel only pain and cold. At her titopsy it was found that the spinal cord in the neighborhood of the nervous centers of the back was shriveled and otherwise in an unhealthy | state, But M, Herzen has not rested content with observations on his own species; he has made experiments on the lower animals, classi- fled several of the sensations of touch, and dis- nd Prof, Soret, taking up the psychological branch of the subject, hits tried to tind out how far the sense of touch may be made to convey to the iless an idea of the beautiful. Foras a deaf musician may enjoy music, despite his deat ness, so may @ blind man find pleasure in ity of form, notwithstanding bis blindness, In the one case the pleasure comes trom the rhythm, or rather from sonorous vibrations in the air, produced by the playing; in the other From the syuunetry aud regularity of the object band music is going on I feel somethin; said to M.

There were two classes of misery: the one produced, as the old under- writers would express it, “by the hand of God,’ and the other by depravity bearing fruit, This distinction lies patent upon the surface of the Elizabethan poor-laws, and reappears in the workhouse test of Earl Grey.

From an account of “Life on the Alabama,” by one of her sailors,in the April Century, we quote the following: “We got everything ship- shape and left Cherbourg for our last cruise on @ bright Sunday morning, June 19th. We were escorted by a French armored vessel, and when we got outside we could see the Kear- sarge awaiting us, about four miles away. Captain Semmes made us a short speech whit was well received, though It seemed odd to me that an American should appeal to an English- man’s love of glory to animate him to fight the speaker's own countrymen. But we chee and the French, ship leaving us, we steame straight for the Kearsarge. There is no doubt that Semmes was flurried and commenced fir- ing too soon.

Another shell struck about the water-line, and the vessel reeled like a drunken man, The dead and wounded were ly- ing about the deck, which was red with blood. Our officers did their duty and the men at once began to get up the wounded. ‘The cutter and lanneh were in the water and the officers were trying to keep the men back till the wounded left, for I saw several on the berth-deck when I went below, and the boats were then Tull and pushing of!

Paris Letter to London Lancet. The discovery by M. Gautier ot the part played. by ptomaines and leucomaines in the patho- geny of disease is a terrible blow to the micro- bian theory, as in a paper communicated by the author to the Academy of Medicine it has been demonstrated that the non-climination from the body of dead animal matter is the only source of ali human ailments, Professor Peter has always been hemently opposed to the bacillary theory of the etiology of disease, and looks upon the discevery of ptomaines and leu- comaines as a new era in medicine. Although he himselt had long ago toreseen the existence of such elements as causes of disease, it was left to M. Gautier, the eminent chemist, to formu- late his theories In a more s re This new theo very in- teresting paper read by Professor Peter at’ the Academy of Medicine last week,in which he makes out that this new theory ofauto-iniection fsquite compatible with clinical observation, whereas the microbian theory is so shrouded {nt mystery that Koch himself had been induced to considerably alter his opinions respect- ing the role of the comma bacillus in the devel- opment of cholera, and now declares that the disease fs caused by a ptomaine secreted by a bacillus, In concluding bis paper Prof. Peter made the following remark: 'M. Gautier has shown t in the dead body, and even in the Jiving, ptomaines are formed; these alkaloids, ptomaines or lencomaines, are absolutely toxie: an auto-infection characterized by hyperther- mia is the result. This theory rids us, at least fora time, of the tyranny ot the microbes. If urea, which is an alkali, is constanuy formed in our organism, why should there not also be formed an alkaloid in it? It js only a question of degree. Lite is a contingent phenomenon; it isa series of partial death It may, therefore, be said that we carry in ourselves while living aportion of our own corpse, but we resist the work of auto-infection by two distinct mechan- isms; the elimination of the toxic substance and {ts destruction by oxygen.

A NEGRO WHO WAS DETERMINED TO HAVE A FREE RIDE ON A ROCK ISLAND TRAIN, As the Rock Island train pulled out from the station in Chicagoon Sunday night, the con- ductor noticed James Barquit,a large sized negro, who is known to be troublesome. When asked for his fare, the negro repiied that he had station. This he did, but jumped on again between the mail and’express car. At Engle- wood the conductor ordered him off once more, but he jumped on the train azain. ‘The con: ductor siw him and started after him ona run through the long train. ‘The negro had a long knife flourishing In ‘his hand. The negro rushed into the kitchen of the dintn:-room car and drove out the cook, and with knife in hand defied his pursuers.’ Presently the negro stepped soitly out of the kitchen. He moved toward the door, passing close to tlie conductor, who was in hiding. As his band rested on the knob the condnelor jumped on him, threw him down, and with the help of thé trainmen The trainmen brought him back ed him at the armory.
