Arrival OF the Grand Duke-Senate
Refuses TO Pass Resolution Ten.
dering him the HOspitalities OF the
State-SeriOus Accident.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, January 6.-One
of the most interesting events that tran.
spired here to-day was the arrival and
departure of Grand Duke Alexis. 1t
seems that the House resolution invit-
ing Alexis to stop and partake of the
hospitalities Of the State, rendered
through its representative, was not
adopted by the Senate. So it was re-
solved that if the Grand Duke did stop
here the privileges Of both Houses be
rendered him. OF course the Grand
Duke could not accept the left-handed
compliment, and the train passed the
city without stopping. About 5000
people, men, women and children, and
a majority of the people Of the General
Assembly, had assembled at and near
the depot, blocking up Third street for
three squares, and when the train ar
rived warmly cheered the Duke, who
appeared at the rear end Of the car,
acknowledging the compliment by lift
ing his hat. ,
A large number of men and boys had
climbed npon a shed near the depot
to get a better look at Alexis, but the
supports of the shed gave way and it
came down with crash, severely wound
ing a number of persons and breaking
the leg of a boy about thirteen years

CHICAGO, January Cit is rumored
that the Secretary of a well known Life
Insurance Company of this city is an
embezzler of large amount, and has
also been specializing in stock belonging
to the company. Some Of the directors
informed him that his affairs were not
satisfactory, when he at once handed in
his resignation and found himself in
such a condition of health that he had
to 20 West with his family. Since then,
it is stated, the defects have been made
good and the secretary has returned:
The County Commissioners yesterday
passed a resolution that if any officer
of the Board should take any bribe or
receive any present; or permit his family
to receive any present from any person
supplying Cook county with goods he
shall merit discharge and may be sued
for the amount received.
Judge Rogers of the Circuit Court
has delivered an important opinion in
the case of one Lacrosse against the

The defendant sets up the plea that it
is a foreign corporation in Capada.
The court decides that foreign COM
panies do not come within the statute
Of limitations, and therefore gave de-
cision for the plaintiffs.

about the place, under control Of Sheriff

apprehension prevails among the people
that the troubles are not over, and
many white citizens contemplate aban-

Telegraph Ticks at Hotel Breakfast.
Table.


Two young men, telegraph operators,
boarding at one of our leading third-class ho-
tells, find great amusement in carrying on
conversation with each other at the table by
ticking on their plates with knife, fork or
spoon. A combination of sounds or ticks
constitute the telegraphic alphabet, and per-
sons familiar with these sounds can converse
thereby as intelligently as with spoken words.
A few days ago, while these fun-loying
youths were seated at breakfast, a stout-built
young man entered the dining-room with
handsome girl on his arm, whose blushing
countenance showed her to be a bride The
couple had, in fact, been married but day or
two previous, and had come to San Francisco
from their home in Oakland, or Mud Springs,
or some other rural village, for the purpose of
spending the honeymoon. The telegraphic
tickers commenced as soon as the husband
and wife had seated themselves.
No. l opened the discourse as follows:
What lovely little pigeon this is alongside
of me-ain't she ?"
No. 2-"Perfectly charming-looks as if
butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. Just
married, guess? don't YOU think sop
No. 1-"Yes, l should Judge she was.
What luscious lips she's got! If that coun-
try pumpkin beside her was out of the road.
I'd give her hug and kiss just for luck"
No. E"Suppose you try it anyhow. Give
her little nudge under the table with your
knee"
There is no telling to what extent the i'm
prudent rascals might have gone but for an
amazing and entirely unforeseen event. The
bridegroom's face had flushed and a dark
scowl was on his brow during the progress of
the ticking conversation, but the operators
were too much occupied with each other to
pay any attention to him. The reader may
form some idea of the young mems consterna-
ton when the partner of the lady picked up
his knife and licked off the following terse
but vigorous message:
'This lady is my wife, and as soon as she
gets through with her breakfast l propose
to wiring both your necks, you insolent
whelps."
The bridegroom was telegraphic operator,
and ''knew how it was himself San Fran

The Girls that are Growing Old.

Harper's Bazar has word of comfort for
the girls who are beginning to Ego off," as
our English cousins have it: We say that our
friend is passee. Is she past her intelligence,
her good nature; her power of entertainment,
her wit, her usefulness generally? On the
the greater part of them. She has but just
attained experience enough to enable her to
comprehend and join in conversation above
the mediocrity of gossip and litter and COM
pliment; her gayety is not mere giggling, but
there is in it something of the flash Of encoun-
tering intellects; she has discretion enough to
be silent, and knowledge enough to speak on
occasion; no longer raw, or shy, or painfully
selfconsciOus, her manners have charm OF
ease that gives ease to all around her; if she
has accomplishments, they are practiced and
mature, and you are spared, for instance, the
familiar horror of schoolgirls music; if she
has not the rosy lOveliness of her youth, she
has knowledge of the arts of the toilet that
makes her dress perfect and herself an at
tractive object; in fact, she has only just be-
come capable of enjoying and giving enjoy
ment in society; and so far from the young
idiatS who call her nassee having any right to
slurs in her regard, It Is she Who should be
herself an arbiter of society, and have author
ity to pronounce whether or not they are in
any sense fit to enter its charmed circles. In
deed, it may well excite all the wonder that
it does among Europeans that the young are
here allowed to absorb all the enjoyments of
our social life-the young who have nothing
but their youth or their beauty to give
whose minds and manners are almost totally
unframed and insufficient; who are, indeed,
objects of pleasure to the eye, and wherein
they yield other pleasure or profit do SO rath-
er in subsidiary way than in the main. We
do not wish to undervalue the element of in
nocence and freshness which the young bring,
or are supposed to bring with them; but we
maintain that the virtue Of years, with their
knowledge of the world we live in, and their
preparation for the world we hope to i've In
their wisdom, their grace, and their charity
are of at least equal value, and deserve
equal recognition in the places where men
and women meet together; and we protest
against the curving ofthe "contumelious lip
over the claims to courtesy and consideration
of the woman beyond her girlhood
