In the list of the twelve who will he
Senators no longer when the gavel of
Vice? tStevsnson falls on March
the: there is one who has been a pie-
turesqne and striking figure in the Senate
for more than 22 years. This is Senator
Matt W. Ransom of North Carolina, who
took his seat April 34,1872.snd has re-
mained on duty ever since. Mr. Ransom
is one of the handsome man of the Senate,
and at times an eloquent speaker. He
was one of the conspicuous Generals of
the Confederate army. and came to Wash-
ington with the reputation of a man of
ability, honor and chivalry. One day last
autumn, during the crisis in the Senate
struggle over the Silver Repeal bill, a
reporter approached Gen. Ransom as he
paced the lobby, his hands behind his
back and his head bovved, and said:
“Senator, what will be the outcome of
the fight?"
Drawing his caller aside, Gen. Ransom
said with great solemnlty: “My friend, I
cannot tell you now, but you may say to
the country that we are thinking—deeply
thinking." '
It wasssad day for the North Carolina
Senator when the investigation into the
connection of Senators with the Sugar
Trust speculation developed the fact that
his son had been purchasing the stock.
The testimony showed that young Mr.
Ransom had simply bought a certificate
or two on his own responsibility, and
father. The transaction was in every way
legitimate and proper, but Gen. Ransom
felt keenly the notoriety It caused. But
in his hour of trial his nativeshrewdness
did not desert him. and by a clever move
he managed to outwit those who attacked
him and break the force of the prear-
ranged newspaper sensation. A few days
before the fact that young Mr, Ransom
had purchased sugar stock was brought
to light, a correspondent of a newspaper
called upon the Senator, having in his
possession the fact that a Mr. Ransom
had bought sugar stock. This knowledge
had been obtained by the expenditure of
considerable time and money and the
employment of the services of adotective
or two. The interviewer was accompanied
by a strnogrnpher. As soon as his visitors
had departed, however. lion. linnsom
hastened to the room of the Senatorial
Investigating Committee. had himself
sworn as a witness, and testified tncvrryv
thing he had told the ncw.~pnpcr man.
An abstract of his testimony was pub
lished the following morning. and the
newspaper was thus prevented from pro-
ducing its anticipated sonsslluu, .\ wry
tame article was published instead.
“'heu it appeared, Senator Rimsmu met
the man who had inierviewr-d him, in
the elevator, and going up lo him, and
holding out his hand, he said, with all
that impressiveneas and grace for which
he was noted:
“My dbar friend, permit ow. sub, to
thank you for the extreme courti-sy, suit,
with which you and your papish have
treated me in this niattuh. lam under
doep obligations for your kindness, ssh.”
‘Mr. Ransom's lack of wealth and the
generosity of his heart were both shown
by an incident that happened one day
several years ago. He walked into the
Senate l’ost Uliice one morning, and
holding up a ragged shirt cutf before
the eyes of the Assistant Post muster, he
said: '
"Kellog, won't you pin-aw trim oil the
edges of my cuff?" and in the oliicinl did
so the Senator said partly to himself:
“Ah! me, these poor North ('urolinians
who find their way to Washington look-
ing for office and without Inuney will
drive me to the poorhouao yet."
()no of the picturesque landmarks of
the Senate chamber who will be seen
there no more. after March 4 is Richard
(Joke of Texas, the bigwliuibwl, big-head-
ed, hairy giant who in In}: succeeded M.
(J. Hamilton. the only livpublicun who
ever got into the boiled Hinics Senate
from the Slate of Texas. Mr. ('uke is one
of that colony of Southern statesmen
wholive at the Metropolitan: Hotel, the
great Southern headquarters in Wash-
ington. and who has never Iii-collie recon-
ciled to the ways of modern civilization
or political reconstruction.
The boarded man was in his room at
the Metropolitan liotel one morning in
undress uniform, and engaged in the not
slight ‘task of sharing his upper lip.
Some Texans who had come to town on
public husinesii, following the custom of
their section. walked up stairs without
being announced. rapped on the door of
the Senator's room and walked in. The
old luun was furious. He turned around
with his face covered with lather, the
rumor in his hand, and his eyes flashing
fire, and, drawing himself up to. his six
or seven loci without his stockings, be
said to his astonished friends:
"Don't you know that in Washington
it Is not polite to color is nusn‘s room
without asking permission. I have lived
here long enough to learn that, if you
have not. \‘on will all please go down
i, tothe onion and semi up your curds in
the regular way, like gentlemen."
’i'he crcsifalh-u Texans withdrew and
sent up a servant with the written card
of each of them. A moment later the
servant rel urm-d and paralyzed the callers
by the annmim-cment:
“Heiiator ('oke is not in."

DIVOROE—dN JAPAN.
Causes as Compared With Those of other
Countries.
Grounds for the divorce of wives in
Japan are reduced to seven fixed causes,
in which the most serious incentives are
outbreaks of disobedience or temper
against a father or motherin‘law; jeal-
ousy is next in importance; annoying in
any wise the peace of the husband’s kinsm
men, gosbip and over loud talking and
quarreling at home, stealing and leprosy
are mentioned also as just rcusous for
legal procedure agsidst a wife. Appar-
ently no question of propriety on the
wife’s side or provision for her future
support are considered and the father
always takes the children, which is a
plain injustice. On the whole, however,
reasons for divorce in Japan are not more
frivolous than in many other countries
that esteem themselves vastly her, su-
periorfin point of civilization. in llaly,
and South Carolina only of all our
States, is death alone the legal dissolu-
tion of marriage vows. Our common on
of incompatibility of temper Is certainly
synonymous with the first four Japanese
causes.
In Massachusetts and Mississippi the
habitual use of opium permits divorc-
In France a wife who, for no apparently
good reason, refuses to accompany l.
husband to the theatre can be brought 1.!
the divorce court. in Portugal a wife
may not publish her literary work with‘
out her husband’s consent, and both In
France and Portugal a wife can be forced
to accompany her husband on any and
every journey he takes, provided he does
not go beyond the boundaries of the
country. i‘ertainly, then, Japan can im-
prove her divorce laws very slightly by
studying those of her sister nations, and
as a Japanese wife can in turn divorce
the husband who thrusts an unpleasant
mother-ininw on her there seems no need
of dcploring her condition.
JAPAN'S EMPRESS.

“or Great Interest In the Cause of
Woman's Enlightenment,
'I'be Empress of Japan is a fragile but
beautiful little. woman. and has done a
noble work for her penplt‘. She loves

no empress in the world’s history has
.done. Out of her own funds she estab-
lished free schools for girls of the Empire.
She thereby acquired a new title to
the respect and gratitude of the civilised
world.
