1t l. said they have-what are known
as the ''Pie Biters.n = composed Of per-
SONS passionately fond Of pies. So
strong has the rivalry grown between
the two societies that challenge re-
suited. and the contest is reported TO
have been AS follows: ''The pies were
to he mince, and one inch thick.
NeSilla to bite first, and no bite to
CONT unless it reached the center Of
the pie. Mesilla piled up nine pies
and shut down on them without an
effort. Las Cruces elevated the top
of his head and closed his jaws over
eleven. [Great enthusiasm among
his friends Mesilla came to the
scratch, or bite, llanfully, and Topped
his lip overa dozen successfully. [Odds
offered on Mcsilla. Las Cruces, at
this point. said. "Well, it is time to
stop this nonsense, land me fifteen.'
They were given him; he smiled, laid
the back Of his head on his shoulders
and came down on the bundle of pies
like an alligator Oh mouthtnl Of flies.
But his teeth did not come together.
He struggled and ierked, but it was
no use. Three of his teeth broke and
his hold gave way. On examining,
Il dog collar was found in the center OF
pie, and Las Cruces had got his teeth
tangled in the buckle. Jack Martin,
the referee. decided in favor of Mesilla,
on the gro4lnd that everything was
fair in nliAce pie. "

We have been surprised that large num-
bers of people should continue to flock to
listen to the sentimental preaching Of the
Rev. Mrs. Van Colt. We are surprised
because, aside from our objection to seeing
woman invade the pulpit, we had not
supposed that people would willingly sit
and hear their city and themselves maligned
by lady whose avowed object is to get
money, and who seems to fancy that she
can bully people into giving it to her, by
making all sorts of disparaging remarks
about them. When she asserted to large
congregation, the other day. that the peo-
pie of New Orleans were the stingiest peo-
pie she had ever met, she violated the rules
of good taste and good breeding, and, to
say the least, was mistaken. To our mind
she is calculated to do vastly more harm
than good, and we are decidedly of the
opinion that she has mistaken her vocation.
She might make an excellent Lady Mae
beth, and we would advise her to turn her
attention to the stage at once, where such
arts as she employs in the pulpit would
bring down the galleries

WASHINGTON NOTES.

A question has arisen as to the clasSfica-
ton of the duties on beached and coiored
cottons having few threads Of flax woven
through the body of the goods, which i'm
porters claim are liable to duty only as goods
made of mixed material. The Department
has decided, for the present at least, to con-
tinue the classification of these goods as cot
ton goods, subject to duty according to the
number of threads to the square inch thus
ignoring the flax. The Importance of this
is seen in the fact that the duty on goods of
mixed material is % per cent, which is
about one-half the duty on bleached and
cOi0red cottOns.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has estah-

EncOres.

The concerts of the winter and continued
into summer are marred and spoiled by a
habit of recalling every performer, whether
professional or amateur, and thus doubling
tire pieces. Recently we attended a concert
with twelve peices of instrumental and
vocal music on the programme, and had the
pleasure of hearing twenty-four and missing
the last ear with party of ladies. If this
practice of forcing the disappearance of the
performers, originated from true apprecia-
ton of musical excellence, it might possibly
be excused, although in such cases it is often
ton of difficult peice, when the
exhaustion Of the first effort is not felt
In fact, however, such appreciation is far
from the truth. Any attendant of the
serve that the usual origlnators of the
pounding, stamping, clapping and other
noises, supposed to mean public suppica-
ton to "do it again." are squad Of
youngsters, usually young lads who. coming
with the rest of the family and the girls,
have gone off to the rear of the hall, where,
on the back benches or in the gallery, they
devote themselves to the "encorer Of
every piece, keeping up continuous row
and noise until they dominate the peaceful
portion of the audience and actually COM
pei them to submit.
This practice has now reached such an ex
tent that it becomes serious question
whether concerts will any longer pay
Many of the best charities of the city help
out their funds by this method, and with
the abundant amateur musical ability in
private circles and the generous aid of pro-
fesslonals, it has not been so difficult TOT
worthy object to enlist assistance; but bust
ness men, who work hard ali day, and vet
are willing to enjoy little music at night,
cannot stand performance beginning at
eight and ending at twelve O'Clock 1T night.
and the performers themselves, who perfect
~ well know what the comparative merit
OF each artistic is, do not feel comnlimeuted
by being placed all in the same rank. and
unjustly forced to give double what was
promised.
Those of the audience, too, who are com
petent to judge, have no chance to express
their appreciation of the best pieces, and
parcel Of noisy, boisterous young men-and
sometimes young girls-by sheer force of
noise and for . fun" worry the rest of the
audience and tire out the patience of their
elders. So much has been said of this
nuisance, which is rapidly increasing, we
have thought it best to notice it !; but if not
corrected by public opinion and a pretty
decided rebuke from the elder portion of
the audience, our pleasant concert days are
over. and We may as well abandon attend
ance.
