New Treasures Shown at the BEGENDS CUT IX IVORY—A COLLECTION 3usT} BOUGHT AND SOON TO BE EXHIBITED TELL- ING WONDER STORIES OF JAPANESE FOLK- LORE—DRAGONS AND OTHER FABULOUS BEASTS. MOST fascinating collection of Japanese carvings in ivory, not yet placed on exhibition. added to the assemb merely as works of art are those specimens in- teresting—though they are of the highest order artistically and many of them exceedingly ancient—but chiefly do they attract attevtion as images expressive of the quaint myths with which the mikado’s empire abounds. There is a figure of an extraordinary beast, with the head of an ape, the body of a tortoise | and the legs of a frog. The creature is trying | to open the shell of a scallop. and, in course of | the operation, it has caught one of its frog- like feet in the bite of the bivalve and is trying to extricate it. Wonder may well be expressed at the delicacy of this miniature art work—it, like its companions, is not more than 3 inches high—but the main iterest attaching to it hes in the fact that it represents the mythical creature “Kappa,” which is a ‘The Kappa is an amphibious and very quar- Felsome brute, which is accustomed to chal- Jenge to mortal combat any wayfarer who may be so unfortunate as to approach its retreat. courtesy to the wdiversary he AB for the Kappa it w ertainly slay you—sup- posing that you are so unlucky ax to meet it — ‘unless you are able. through: snperior strength or by diplomacy, to overcome it.

THE MYSTERIOUS TORTUISE. Not leas interesting is a design in ivory rep- resenting an old tortoise carrying a young one ou her back. Curiously enongh, the tortoise is regarded by the Chinese as one of the four su- pernatnral creatures in the world. Like its sacred associates, the dragon, the tiger and the phoenix, it is supposed to attain a marvel- ous longevity—sometimes as muc 5.009 years—aud aftera certam age is reached it Dears the sign of its patriarchal digmty in the shape of a hairy tail as wide as the shell. The tortoise. mythically speaking. is supposed to engender its own young by thought merely. ‘Thus it happens that the term “progeny ut tl tortoise” is a commonly used euphouism for a ebild or person not born in wedlock. As an e at- the tortoise appears bearing on 18 back the mountain abode of the immortals—Mt. Harai ora rock on which repose the three sacred gems. The tortoise also app in the light of an emblem of jongevity, as au associate of the spirits of the pine trees. THREE GREAT MEN. One of the most interesting groups in the collection ot carved ivory images is composed of three very great men-—-Gentoku, Kwan Yu aud Chohi—who rose from the lowest possible rank to be not only revered in their own time, bat worshipped im after ages. ‘The first of these was Kwan Yu, who, from being « vendor of beancurds, ascended to the chief military command of the Celestial king- dom. In the year 184 A.D. he entered into au agreement of confederacy with two other great soldiers of easteru A toku and Chobi. The Regent So-So, al it so for- midable a combination of warriors, tried to turn Kwan Yu from his fealty to Gentoku by shutting him up in a room with two pretty wives of Gentokn. o Yu preserved bis reputation by mounting guard with » lighted lantern in the ante-chamber for the might. In 1594 he was detied as the Cninese god of war and is commonly known in that country as the “Lord of the Splendid Beard.” GENTOKU AND CHONI. Gentoku himself was a famous soldier of fortune who began life as a vendor of straw shoes and subsequently occupied the throne of one of the three kingdoms into wiich China was divided after the fall of the Han dynasty. His side partner, Chohi, was also derived trom a bumble extraction. “At a critical period of his own fortunes Chohi encountered in battle the formidable So-So, the regeut, who occupied vantage ground on the heights which it was weil nigh impossible to storm. In order to en- tice So-No to abandon this vantage ground, Chohi caused reports to be spread that he and hisarmy were engaged in frivolousness aud dissipation. On the day designed for that pur- pose by Chohi So-No thought he saw Chohi with bis companions sitting on the ground and drinking merrily, regardless of the emergencies of war. So-So thought this an admirable op- portunity for a surprise and so ordered his troops to advance on the doubie-quick. Upon Feaching the scene of the anticipated combat he and his soldiers found that the supposed revellers were simply figures stuffed with grass, Hardiy had they recovered from their surprise | when fires burst out upon the heights im their rear and € i's army attacked them ia front, Chobi himself brandishing « lance 18 feet long and glaring with eyes that shot rays like a thousand mirrors, while he roared out his own Bame witha voice of thunder that made the ret general in command under So-So fall dead in his tracks with fright and put the quemy to its heels, A PROVERB ILLUSTRATED. There is « funny Japanese proverb about blind men who try to tind ont by the sense of feeling how an elephant ix made—the same being intended to satrize narrow-minded peo- ie and bigots who, after looking at a question rom only one point of view, think they know it ali. This tolk-sayiug is illustrated in the collection referred to by an ivory design rep- Fesenting fourteen blind men climbing about au elephant, statfx in hand. They have met to Study the strange beast and are singly en- gaged in exploring its various parts—the trunk, the legs, the skin, dc. One of them is meas- aring the tail and another the trunk, the Qotion being that each will subsequently pre- sent his estimate as to the caudal diinensions of the beast. Kegarding this and other points they will afterward compare notes, each one having formed « different conclusion. The Babel of dispute that is likely to ari may well be guessed at. The elephant is not repre- sented with eutire anatomical correctness, Owing to the fact that it is an animal never known in Japan. Bat the Japanese evidently carry a recollection of it, embodied iu myth, from the region of the Caucasus mountains, Where they had their origin. OLD RIP IN JAPAN.

EARLY every day when the House meets a gray, gaunt form is seen upon the floor. An old man with white hair fringing a barren brow, and scant white whiskers on hollow cheeks, bright eyes deep in their sockets, a long neck encased in « high collar and stocks, bony fingers and a form as straight as an arrow and appearing tall beyond actual meas- urements by its slender proportions—he moves silently and aimlessly about the hall like a shade of some dead and bygone Congress | moving among strange people amid familar scenes.

THEN AND Now, “There is 2 marked difference between then and now,” he said to a Stax reporter. There was much more order and decorum then than now. When I sit in her hou: ow I cannot help but draw the contrast. The men of my day, when Webster and Clay and their many distinguished colleagues were in Congress, there was less boisterousness than now. Mem bers aud Senators did uot then all stand up and group sround the gentleman who had the floor. There were sharp passages of arms and some very lively times, but members kept their seat if not entitled to the floor. The man who arose to speak occupied the fluor until he had finished. If a speech of interest was being made they listened, or if they were uot inter- ed they wrote at their desks or talked in whispers. ‘They kept at their seats and showed respect for the body of which they were members. Usually attention was paid to speeches and the speeches were delivered dif- terentiy from what they now are. Members and Senators did uot read their speeches, They spoke freely and there was more oratori- eal effect then than now. I never saw but one speech read in the Senate in my time, and that reading was so much commented on that the Senator therea[ter spoke freely without notes, a THE EVENING STAR WASHINGTON, A KET OF A Chapter on This Invaluable but Too Often Underestimated Product.

HOW TO MAKE A PLAIN OMELET. Anice thing that. making an airy, spongy, toothsome omelet and one way it may be done is by taking three eggs, yolks and whites, and beat separately and very light.

You could teil this from the stiffuess of their deliv- ery, but all the great men who figure in his- tory spoke on the floor of Congress with as much naturalness and freedom as if they were engaged in conversation. That was the charm of their delivery and they usually held attene tion, I was in the Senate when Mr. Blair was speaking on the educational bill this session, A halt dozen or so of the Senators were talking together, writing letters or reading the news- papers, and one man was sitting still, appar- ently doing nothing. I thought then that. this one man might possibly be listening to the dis- course. I contrasted the scene with others I have witnessed in that chamber, “Congress is larger &ud in a measure un- wieldy. It is more tied up by rules and under control of the presiding officer. In my day the man who first jumped to his feet and called to the Speaker for recoguition got the floor. Had the Speaker refused to recognize a man so ris- ing a resolution of censure would quickly have been passed upon him, There was great dig- nity among the members on the floor and they were jealous of theif power and privileges. A DETERIORATION IN LEADERSHIP. “One thing that strikes me particularly as I watch the proceedings of this Congress is the abseuce of distinguished leaders. Individual leadership has deteriorated since the war. Blaine and Conkiing have been the abiest men in the Senate since the war, but they would rank, I think, with the second rather than the first of our great orators of the earlier time. I find in Congress today many able men, but there are few so conspicuously greater than all the rest as to be great leaders. The dem- ocrats have no leader in the Senate now, have then # small-quintity of Jamaica rum may be poured on and set on tire when on the table.

A cheaper omelet may be made in this wa Take four eggs, yolks and whites beaten sep: rately and very light; one cupfal of bread crumbs soaked in milk and beaten soft; salt and pepper to taste. Add the bread crumbs at the last moment and proceed as before. This make a large omelet and, although not so delicate as one made of eggs alone, it has the merit of not falling and becoming heavy 60 quickly. OMELETS FOR LUNCHEONS AND TFAS. There are many ways for preparing eggs where a “hearty” but limited dish is wanted to bridge over between meals or to form a light finale for the day. Foremost among these is the sweet omelet, This omelet is made like the plain omeiet with the addition of fruit or preserves. which may be varied to suit the taste or the supply on hand, and are put in the omelet before folding or stirred in just before cooking. For apple or peach omelets the fruit should be first pared and steamed aud pressed through a sieve. Berries should merely be pressed through asieve after washing. Pine- apples and oranges should be shredded atter the skins are removed, aud when canned fruits are used care should be taken not to put in too much of the Juice, A very little is sufti- cient. Sugar is to be added to the fruit to suit the taste and the omelet slightly sprinkled with it before serving. THE TIME-HONORED CUSTARD. As old asthe hills and ever popular is the Ii they?

All the good akers had this bearing on the floor. The object was to be heard and to impress the hearers. The old hall of the House was not « particularly good place to speak in on ac- countot the echoes, but the members who were in the habit of speaking knew certain places to stand to make themselves heard, 1 know it used to be said that my voice could be beard in every corner of the hall and galleries, It was because I knew just where to stand. When we moved into the new hall the voices of all the » ers had to be given a new pitch. 1t was a little diftieult to tone the voice up to suit this large hall, but the members practiced a little greater volume and clearness and it soon became easy enough.” = os ated Make This World Comfortable, General Sherman, And now, my friends, I know that, like all other bodies of men, you wish to make the world as good as yourselves, which is very natural, right and proper.

Salt, too, will make egg and milk curdle, and in boiled custards it should be added immediately after taking from the fire, A piece of suda about the size of a pea should always be put in the custard for a De and for many of the delicate and lelicious deserts of which custard forms a basis.

Correspondence of THE EVENING STAR. Bripetox, Mr.. April 24. TOP all pay and allowance at his re- < quest, was what Captain Clark of the adjutant general's office i# Maine read the other day on the roll of company A, state guard, called to Fort Clary from July to September, 1864. Searching the records he came upon this mus- ter roll, and the foregoing comment was written under the head of “remarks” against the name of Private Hannibal Hamlin. Mr. Hamlin was at that time Vice President of the United Statés, aud it is a curious fact— little known outside of his own State—that this great man, whom all our Maine people re- spect despite his radical political ideas, and whom Massachusetts remembers as whilom col- lector for the port of Boston, while holding the next to the hignest office in the nation’s gift,ac- tually enlisted as a private in the United States service.at a critical stage of the war.and donning “his suit of blue” and shouldering his musket held himseif subject toa calito the trout or wherever else the military powers that be might ord, He is justly proud of this record, and also that it is his province to represent the extreme right of the Maine Grand Army line, he being the oldest member of that organization in the state. Although an octogenarian he goes annu- ly to the meeting of the uatioual encamp- ment, not infrequently in some far western state. aud his presence is sure to awaken lively enthusiasm amoug the boys in Que. At the St. Louis encampment a few years ago, by a pretty coincidence, Maine was represented in er delegation by both the oldest and the youngest of ker G.A.R. men, Hannibal Hamiin and Edwin C, Milliken, the difference in whose ages is over forty years, Private Humlin served the two months of his term of enlistment at Fort Clary and was then honorably discharged. HAMLIN AND FREMONT. It is not a little singular that of all the promi- nent actors in our great national war drama about the only ones left upon the stage are Han- nibal Hamlin and Fremont. And this recalls the remarkable Fremont-Hamlin campaign of '56 in Maine, a campaign which, to quote the words of Mr. Hamlin, further on, was climuxed by an “election that set in motion a ball that rolled on and resulted in the election of Lincoln as President.” He might have added: “And of Hamlin as Vice President. That September campaign in Maine was by the whole nation watched with bated breath, as her verdict, it was supposed, would fore- shadow the result of the titantic struggle in November. But the Maine horoscope. how- ever, proved illusive, for, although the state wheeled from the democratic mto the republi- can column by a heavy majority, lo, when No- vember came the much-boasted Quaker repub- lican reserve in Pennsylvania proved a myth and Buchanan rode triumphantly intu the | White House. But to return to thg state campaign. Where was the man, who by the prestige of his name, might lezd the republican party to victors ‘The incumbent of the gubernatorial chair w: 4 democrat, Hon. Samuel Wells, who, in the ction following the so-called liquor w riot” in Portland in June, 1855, which had been suppressed, though not without blood- shed, by the intrepid author of the law, Mayor Neal Dow, had been elected over his predecessor, Gov. Anson P. Morrill (brother of the late ex-United States Senator and treasurer Lot Morrill), republican and Maime law candidate, by about 5,000 majority. Through : the efforts of Jndge’ Heury Carter (now of Haverhill, Mass.,) of the Portland Advertiser, dames G. Blaine of the Kennebec Journal and their influential coadjutors, the temperance question as « political issue was temporarily ignored and ali the anti-slavery elements were mobilized into a harmonious, solid force. The man selected to lead this force was Hannibal j Hamlin. then of Hamden, a democrat who not long before had broken from his party aud gone over to the republicans. A of Maine, a brainy and adroit politician, yet withal a man of sterling personal integrity and worth, who, as member of the legislature and of both branches of Congress—to which he had first been elected as Representative in 1843 had made a brilliant record, his was right deemed the name to conjure by. At first r luctant he sooa yielded to the importunities of those prominent in Maine republican coun- cils, resigned his seat in the Senate and took the stump for what they were pleased to term “Free speech, free men, Fremont!” TOLD BY MR, HAMLIN HIMSELF. The result of that contest is best told by Mr. Hamlin himself in the following extract from a letter to the writer of this sketch: “I think the political campaign in Maine in 1856 and its results the most remarkable of any that has ever taken place in this country, In 1855, I think, the democrats carried the state In 1856 the republi- cans were successful and their majority. over the democrats was about 26,000; over the demo- crate and straight whigs united about 19,000. That election set the ball in motion that rolled on and resulted in the election of Lincoln as President. “Saturday evening before the election on being asked for my opinion, at a very large meeting in Bangor, I stated that the republi- cans would carry the state by 10,000 majority, with a good margin fora much larger major- ity. Well, the margin proved a large one, as the result shows, Some of my friends thought me a little wild in my estimate, but the esti- mate proved to be wild only in understating the result. Yours, truly, H. Hamury.” THE OLDEST SURVIVING MEMBERS. Mr. Hamlin and Hon. Freeman H. Morse are the oldest surviving ex-Representatives in Con- gress from Maine. The former lives in Ban- gor; the latter in England, where he at one time represented our government as consul, When Mr, Hamlin was first elected to Con- gress Maine had seven congressional districts; she now has four, which is likely to be reduced to three by the next census, The delegation was composed of the following: Luther Sever- ance, printer, whig; F. H. Morse. merchant, whig; Robert P. Dunlap, lawyer, democrat; Hannibal Hamlin, lawyer, democrat; Joseph Herrick, farmer, democrat; Shephard Cary, merchant, democrat; Benjamin White, farmer, democrat. The Senators were John Fairfield, democrat, and George Evans, whig. Maine's present delegation is: Senators, Wm. P. Frye and Eugene Hale; Representatives, T. B. Reed, Nelson Dingley, Seth L. Milliken, Charles A! jute: ile. : LOOKING BACKWARD. Mr, Hamlin hascertainly playeda diversity of parts in life—teacher, lawyer, journalist, 1egis- lator, Congressman, Vice President, United States collector, soldier, private citizen. His geheral health is good, barring a little touch of rheumatism in one of his knees. A short time ago, while journeying from his home in Bangor to his native town of Paris, in western Maine, he remarked to an acquaintance: “I feel about one hundred and twenty,years old in that knee today, but otherwise I féel as well and young as ever did. I am a few months past seventy- nine years of Iam not a member of a family remarkable for longevity. To be sure Iam now on my way to Paris Hill tosee a sister who is eighty-three years of age—the only one besides myself of the family living— but my father died at the age of fifty-five, when I was teaching school at Paris, and 86 suddenly that I did not reach him until after his death.

Washington Gossip in the Kansas City Journal, Senator Teller told me last night how he lost $900,000. The story made my eyes bulge out, but the Senator related it in the same cool me- tallic tones in which he talks about the weather. Said he: “It was some years ago in Leadville that I met one day upon the street a friend of mine, who asked me to go in with him and his partner and buy the Robert E. Leemine. The mine had been in the courts, but the question of its title had been settled and it was only neces- sary to have $90,000 to pay off its indebtedness. Tasked how much it would take for me to come in. He replied that it would take $45.000 and this would give me one-third interest. ‘But,’ said I, raising my hands in holy horror, ‘I haven't gct the money, and would hate to risk it 1f I had.” “Oh,” said he, ‘you run no risk. We have ninety days in which to pay this $90,000 and we will work it out of the mine in that time. You need not put up acent and we will pay your $45,000 ont of the mine, and im case the mine doesn’t pan out at once Ben, my partner, and 1 will put up the moncy for you.’ = said would consider the matter, but I did not thinkI wauted it. For the next two days thatman hung around me and begged me to take the third interest in the mine. He told me he could sell it for $45,000 cash to another man, but he would rather take me in for not! ing.’ I held out, and at the ond of two days he sold the interest to the other . Shortly after this I heard that the mine was paying and about two years later I met Ben, my friend's partner, in the Windsor Hotel, at Den- ver, an got to talking about mining prop- erty. roa made a great mis!
