-, New story on Tom Corwin.

Dom Piatt. in one Of his Washington
letters, relates the following anecdote Illus
trating the politeness and humor OF the
late Tom Corwin of Ohio:
He arrived at Dayton, Ohio, late one
night, very tired from a long stage ride
during the day. The great humorist and
statesman retired TO bed, observing as he
did so that some one occupied another bed
in the opposite corner. The Honorable
Tom was soon fast asleep, and snoring ire
mendously. The other traveller bore the
inhiction ms long as human endurance
could 90, and then he sang out;
"Ohl sir sir, sir,
"Hello, hello" cried Tom, sitting up
wildly in bed "what is the matter
"Oh! sir" exclaimed the sufferer, 'you
snore, sir. "
"Did | snore?" demanded Corwin. '1sit
possible2 really beg your pardon, sir. .
And so saying, he dropped asleep again,
and again the dreadful snoring went on.
The poor man in the next bes again COM
planned.
"Sir, sir oh sir"
II say. what is il ?" responded Corwin.
you are snoring again, sir"
"Why really, sir am ashamed of my
self. beg thousand pardons for impo,
likeness"
And again the Senator sought repose
but the snoring was worse than ever, and
tn, sufferer once more called attention to
the Jffence.
Look here, SIR" cried the Senator,
"yGu have wakened me up three times, and
twice have apologized what more can .
gentleman ask? Now | am tired and
if You disturb me again, I'll brain you with
a bootiacE "

Fashion Notes.

JET necklaces, composed of several rows
of large beads, caught at the sides with
large square medaions, with raised head,
and pendant the same style are very stylish
and pretty especially when worn with thin
Summer dresses.
A GENTLEMAN proposed to young lady,
coming from the opera few nights ago,
and upon receiving an answer in the athrma-
tive, took handsome diamond ring out Of
his pocket, saying he had bought it as lie
thought she would not have the heart, to
refuse him.
The hats and bonnets are mostly high,
bnt with many variations. The Tyrolese
has many admirers, but this style IS mostly
worn for elegant toilet the palmer cas-.
quette shapes are very pretty
The hair is worn low down into the nape
Of the neck large brsids and rolls curis,
and frizzes in profusion, covering, in many
instances, the entire front, making 1t lm-
possible 10 wear anything but an ornamen-
tai comb, the scarf veil forming the only
admissible covering for the head
All iewelry is much lower IN prlce this
spring, being sold nearly as cheap as when
gold was OF par. Ladies watches in plain
engraved cases, which have superseded en-
ameed ones Of Swiss manufacture, are sold
at from Sl5 to $50, of American manutac-
ture, from SO to $50.
Bronze boots are no longer fashionable,
ard buttoned boots are old style, laced
boots having taken their place. Some are
stitched and deliberately embroidered with
while, but the plain black are considered
much more stylish.
CnoQUET has, like the German, seen its
best days and will not be as popular this
summer as it has been heretofore. Young
ladies' assert that it is hard on shoes and
ruinous to the hands and the complexion.

DEATH WINS.
A stranger Falls Dead Mt Gaming
Table.
From the Louisville journal, Monday

From the Louisville Journal, Monday
The gambling saloon ut No 80 Fifth ST.,
between Market and Nam, was the scene OF
a most tragical event last nlght-a scene
wherein tho weird, remorseless player,
Death. claimed the stake, human life.
A heavy game of faro was going on. The
room was filed with people; some merely
there for the pleasurable excitement Of the
scene; Others with the demon thirst OF gain
nppermost in their thoughts, when the king
of terrors without a single note OF warning,
stalked in and claimed the precious stake.
As developed at the Coroner's inquest,
the strange facts in the case were as fol-
lows: On Thursday night Of last week a
well-dressed elderly gentleman, an entire
stranger, entered the saloon, looked on at
the game in progress for perhaps an hour
and retired. On Friday night he again en-
tered the house and took part in the game,
PLAYING very small stakes and apparently
only for amusement Monday night he
again visited the Saloon, playing as before
for very small stokes. He was perfectly
sober and very quiet and unobtrnsiye II
his manner Last night between seven and
eight o'clock he entered the saloon and
took his seat at the table and, after watch
ing the game for a short time, he puf-
chased SIS worth Of chips, and commenced
PLAYING, betting from % Genus to 70 cents
at a time. The game progressed until
about nine o'clock, when suddenly his
head fell forward upon the table, and troth
was seen issuing from his mouth. lie was
Immediately removed from the table to a
rear door where he could get the fresh air.
1t was supposed that he had been attacked
with a fit. and his face was bathed with
water, but in a few minutes 1t was dlscov-
cred that he was dying, and before medical
aid could be summoned he WAS dead. The
game was quickly closed and most OF the
horror.stricken players dispersed. The
Coroner was summoned and an inquest
held the result of which will be found
below >,
From letters found on his person it is
presumed that the name OF the uniortu-
nate man was H. S. Gilling, Baltimore,
Md. and that he was in the employ OF
Kormman Il Co., wholesale liquor dealers,
No. 8 Cedar street, New York, rs travelling
AGENT. Some of the letters were addressed
to him at No. Al East Pratt street. Balh-
more. One of the letters was from his
daughter Lizzie, and dated at Cummlns,
Vile, Ohio. He was apparently between 81
and GO years of age, about five feet seven
inches high, and weighed about l65
pounds His hair and whiskers were quite
gray He had about $40 on his person He
was perfectly sober every time ne vlited
the house, and when asked by the more
conviyial to drink had politely but firmly
declined His BODY was placed in neat
coffin, and was deposited in the vault at
the cemetery to await the recognition OF
frinds.
The following is a copy of the inquest;
INQUEST No. 71-Taken at No. So Fifth
street May oath 1870, upon the body of
II. S. Gilling. Verdict Came to his death
from the effects of an apoplectic tit, as we
believe from the evidence.

Florida Youth Handles Poisonous
Reptiles with Inn unity.
FROM the Key West Dispatch.

For the benefit of The outside world We
have to put on record the fact that in our
island city there lives youth who, in him
self is one among the great phenomena
OF. the age, Listen and be the judge your
self. He can handle snakes, scorpions
centipedes, or what not, with perfect I'M
punity. He makes pets and playfellows
of the larger kind OF rattlesnakes, twisting
them around him, and dallying with their
fofked tongues, and their ten or twelve rat
ties He actually has carried scorpions in
his bosom, and wasps and hornets IN his
sleeyas aud pockets, without receiy-
ing bite or sting. In the loneliness
of ihe grove on forest, or in any secluded
place iutested SiiL snakes he can by few
tahsmanic words call around him any num-
Der Of snakes, whom be can charm into
perfect obedience to all his mandates, He
can pick them up and lay them down at
,.ay given place, and ri his bidding they
WA remain there until his return, after an
absence sometimes OF hours.
He can take rat or a mouse, and so
it-so put that inexpicable ty-
rant spell upon it that it ut once becomes

and may be tnmbled about at pleasure.

The Late Mark Lemon.

Mark Lemon, whose death is announced
by the cable, was, we believe, u jew by
birth. He held conspicuous position
among the journalists of London, by reason
of his long connection with Punch. When
Puuch was established, in 1871, ne became
one of its editors, and two yesrs later he
was appointed sole manager, and so re-
NAMED till the day of his death. The oh,
vious comic relation of his name to the
name of the paper suggested that the acid
ity of Punch was the ingredient he suppl.

ture, and no professional satiri't was ever
more kindly spoken of by the wor 1.

work perhaps, was the play Of The -
rious Family which was not o good bo,i,
for an enduring reputation. He wrote
several eytrsm ely dull novels, not one OF
which had even moderate success.
In person Mark Lemon was large and
corpulent. For several years past he has
been afflicted with deafness, and when Mr.
