The Basque Dance.

A Spanish correspondent of the London
Times writes /: Anything more harmless.
anything more proper or stupid than the
Basque dance rs il is performed by the
boys and girls of llendaye, ii never was
my lot 10 see i'm this sublunar world. A
toOthless old man with fife and tambou-
rine constitutes the whole orchestra. His
music is limited 10 the two-in-one tradi-
tional notes Of the old Morisco tum-tun.
In come and up step the dancers, not in
couples and not by invitation, but one by
one. D1ofu pyopl-tO, the women with hand
kerchcfs tied turbanwise round their
heads, the men with their jackets loose,
thrown over their shoulders, and some of
them barefooted and brandishing stick.
They go out rs they come in, one by one.
without order or consent. no attempt at
combination or figure, no joining of hands,
no bow or courtesy, no visible recognition
or appointment of partners, but every one
joining in the melee at odd times. and
fighting Ike Cow Chrom for his or her
own hand; everybody rs sober as a judge;
no crowding or chirruping or jumping in
TO the air, none of the vouptuous ogling
and leering Of the Andelusian. none of the
monkey-like grimacing OF the French.
none of the hearty clasping of the Ger
man. none of the mad capering and gam
boiling of the negro; nothing of the joy
business, the sweet sadness. the conscious.
ness, the boldness, the bashfulness, tine
coquetry. which gives dancing its sweet
ness and bitterness all over the world.
Every one here takes his or her fill of the
clumsy, bear-like evolutions, and all 90
back as cold and dull and unsympathizing
as they came. You would believe the
people-all those uncouth, heavy men. all
those plain, and many of them not young,
women--are performing some religious
penance and the priest who looks IN all
the time seems to be there to see that the
sentence he has passed in the morning at
the confessional is carried into execution
and enforced to the utmost extent of its
severity"

Haps and MisIhaps.

BY the careless handling of a gun.
Frank Miller, of Waterloo, Iowa. aged u.
blew the top of his head off a few DAYS
ago.
Marcus 5. Hooke, son of Judge II. NJ.
Hooke, Of Chattanooga, Tenn, committed
suicide recently by taking chloroform.
The cause was unrequited love.
While Miss Lizzie Lynn, of Danville.
H.. was sitting up in bed one night re-
Gently. shot was fired through the win
dow. striking her little above the shout
der blade, producing a painful. though
probably not dangerous wound. The
perpetrator OF the act is supposed to be a
discarded lover. who, il is said, has made
repeated threats that he would take her
life.
A North Carolina minister lost his life
a few weeks ago in singular manner. He
was amounting his entire body with kero-
sene, as a cure for rheumatism. when the
oil was ignited by the fire on the hearth
near which he was standing. and he was
burned to death.
A distressing accident occurred i'm Pu-
laski County, Miss, short time since,
which has cast gloom over the entire
county. A party offour young men were
hunting deer i'm Tailahatchie Bottom and
became separated. One of them, Ben
Mitchell. while pursuing a path through
the canebrake, observed the cane shaking
ahead of him, and. thinking il was caused
by deer. fired the contents of his double
barrcled shotgun, loaded with buckshot,
and. hearing screams, rushed to the spot,
and found Thomas J.. Mosley, one of his
companions, lying dead, shot through the
head; David White, another, shot i'm the
head and MORALLY wounded. and the third
one. ;. W. Johnson. severely wounded.
All of the parties were very respectfully
connected, and the deplorable accident has
brought mourning and sorrow TO many
homes.

TO me 10 suggest whether certain fashion
OF wearing pockets in the side of the pam
falcons, which has prevailed for the last
ten or fifteen years. has not been the fruit
full cause of many homicide. We all
know that the motion of man in putting
his hand in this pocket is the same as that
made In drawing a pistol. which Is usually
worn In tine same position. The other

This may be SO, and yet the latter be un-
armed, and he might only have been going
10 take chew of tobacco. The motion.
however, will always cause apprehension
In the minds of those who carry weapons.
especially when persons are angry. We
recollect years ago hearing the late Ed
ward Marshall in summing up murder
case 10 a Jury, when he took occasion to
refer To this same suggestion. He said
that il might not mean anything for man
in Massachusetts. when he had an alterca-
ton, to put his hand under his coat-tail
but In South Carolina II might mean
good deal. In this community, where
weapons have always been so generally
carried. this motion by an angry man Is
fun of danger. III there isno pocket on the
hip, this motion will not be made by an
unarmcd man, and more than one life thus
saved. We go for abolishing the pocket
on the hip"

The body Of Lady Dixie. who died re-

Shall and Will.

Richard Grant White, writing in the
GALAXY. says:
" The mistake most commonly made i'm
the use of these words, and the one there
fore most carefully 10 be avoided. is the
use of will for shall. and of the correspond
ing would for should. Shall is much less
often used for will. And yet in the word
shilly-shally which is upon eyerybody's
lip, is petrified the rule and the example
in regard 10 shall and will. Shilly-shally
is merely colloquial corruption of shall
II and thus expresses the condition of
man who is vacillating between two
courses of conduct. IL has been made in
TO participle. perhaps even into verb. A
man who stands shilly-shallying about
woman as the ladies say. doesn't know
his own mind about her-a mental condi-
ton for which the sex has not the highest
respect. Now no one would say that a
man stood asking himself: VIII /? Will
~ and vet such is essentially the mistake
most frequently made in regard Ia the use
of these words in conversation. We hear
people say What will | do?' and even
viii | do thus or So. Among people
OF the Anglo-Saxon race and of average
education the mistake. when made, most
commonly takes the indicative form. thus:
= will go TO bed elegantly. retire. al 10
o'clock Tonight or We will breakfast at
5 tomorrow instead of Il shall 20 to
bed etc. We shall breakfast ETC."
