Mrs. Senator Jones, philossphy.

I must tell you Of, little incident
which occurred during the evening, which
will Of itself point conspicuous moral to
my tale. Mrs. Jones' exquisite dress was
trodden on by some huge, awkward mans
boot, and the delicate fabric was parted
in twain-the wearer moving off with the
dress, and large portion OF one of the
aounces being lett under the clumsy crea.
lures clephantine foot. Other ladies and
girls had experienced similar mishaps
during the evening, and though inwardly
feeling piqued at the accident, which their
purses could i'll afford to replace, walked
on, to all outward appearance seeming
utterly Indifferent to SO triaing mishap,
with perhaps tiippant, ''1t's not Of the
slightest consequence" Not so with
Mrs. Jones, wife Of the Senator, whose
Golfers exceed the widest wishes of Alad-
din, with the wonderful lamp at his beck
and call. She quietly stopped down and
picked up the fragment Of illusion, and
smoothed it out, exclaiming, ''This will
make me a couple Of nice white veils!''

4 Terrific ExpDeston In San sFrans
FL cisco. - =, -: - js.'T
On the 7th inst. disastrous fire, with
loss of life, occurred in San Francisco at
the corner Of Spear and Harrison streets,
caused by an explosion Of agiart
powder in a frame building ad.
jacent to- Hathaway's bonded
warehouse. Numbers Of frame buildings
occupied IS saloons and, dwellings were
blown to fragments. The wall of the
warehouse was crushed. and the whole in
few moments was mass offlame. Men,
women and children were crushed in the
falling ruins, or pcrished in the flames.
It was impossible on that evening,
TO-, ascertain the. number of lives
lost or persons injured. The fire was un.
der control, and confined to the immedi-
ate; vicinity, Of the explosion. The loss
in the bonded warehouse was not less
than half million dollars. The
adjacent property burned, consist
ing Of hay, barn, coal-shed, saloon
and dwelling: perhaps $25,000 more.
Search was made in the ruins as prompt
ly as the fire would admit for the recov.
cry OF the bodies. Three had been taken
out thus far, and it was thought several
others, but in the confusion prevailing it
was impossible to ascertain.

Royal Japanese Game.

The Emperor Of Japan has recently
sent to Boston firm of business men =
curious and beautiful gift Of four large
vases. with creamy ground, and rich,
soft ornaments Of flowers, and game
that is played only in the imperial pal
ace. This game requires great number
Of small boxes, censers, and saucers,
paints, ivory sticks, and little tools Of
gold, and each of these things is q speci.
men of the most exquisite workmanship
that even Japan can produce. The whole
surface Of the trays and boxes is oeau.
tiful lacquer Of enamel Of gold, dull or
shining, and in various tints, wrought
INTO landscapes and ornamental devices.
Gorgeous as this is, the effect is wonder.
fully soft a1d beautiful. The game is not
fully understood here. It is played by
ten persons, and involves perfumes, hov.
ers, and combination Of the sesthetic
and instructive that would make it popu.
lar. But it is never offered for sale; its
implements are made only for royalty.

How the Speakers Desk bs Pounded.
Speaker Blaine's desk is the most di.
lapidatcd concern one ever saw. The
pounding Of that Ishmaelian mallet did
not break the cover, and the world won.
dered. But some vandal tore the cover
to discover the reason for such mushy,
muff1ed sound the desk emitted. It was
found that the board, a two.inch plank,
was pounded into such a state that you
could pick out 5000 loose pieces and
shovel up a quart of wood dust. Here
was pine board two inches
thick ground to powder or splirtercd into
cigar lighters, and the cover was intact.
That is the usual experience. General
Banks says (he was Speaker in the
Thirty.fourth Congress, many years ago)
that the cover of the desk never breaks
with the mallct, but the desk wears out.
Every year they get new desk. If they
had a marble.top desk for the Speaker,
members would have their eyes put out
by ivory chips from the mallet. 1Vash-
