Col. FoRNEY arrived at Philadelphia
from Europe the other day, and was met
by three tug loads of friends. A reporter
of the Philadelphia Times thus speaks of
the Colonels appearance: Although the
Colonel is good liver, and is an adj
mirer of English cookery, he has not
gained flesh during his stay abroad. III
anything, he is Skinner than when cleft
Philadelphia in July, 1874. He has aged
considerably, and his whiskers, which
are now neatly trimmed after the Eng

A CORRESPONDENT in Prairie Co., Ark,
reports that Kentucky blue grass was
brought into that county by the army,
and has since been spreading all through
it, though very little has yet been sown.
1t is rapidly running out the wild grass
es, with the exception, perhaps, of wild
clover, Of which there are two varieties.
He is of opinion that, for all purposes, it
is superior TO every other kind of grass
in the country, though timothy, red-top,
orchard grass, and clover are cultivated,
and successfully, by those who have the
requisite knowledge for right treatment.

watterson, OF the Courier Journal, charges
upon Governor Hayes that he wears shin
Ing cravat, spotless kid gloves, a neat fitting
coat, patent leather boots, and a hat OF the
latest fashion," This is very sad. We don't
very well see how a mal VINO wears clean
gloves and a coat that lis can expect to be
elected President of the United States. Mr.
Hayes will do well to dOf these store clothes
at once and don a suit OF well -worn blue
jeans. Care should be taken To secure a mis-.
Mt, ana conspicuous patch or two will be
all the better. Then let him change his pat
ent feathers for COW hide boots well creased
with tallow. Sleeping his hands In alum
water for few hours will bronze and harden
them TO the proper horny condition. Then
by sitting little hayseed into his hair and
robbing some scarecrow OF a ten-year- old
hat, he will be all right, according to the
WattersoDian idea, for presentation before
the American people for their Intelligent
tuffrsges. But come TO think OF 1t, didn't

cent respectable clothes suited to his occu-

1t is exceedingly doubtful whether ex-
Secretary Of War Belknap could be convict

1dence presented in the impeachment trial.
While the fact that he received certain mo-

oath, that there was any previous bargain or
understanding between them by which he

The secret Is out at last. In communities
tion to the New York EceniElg Post the vera
cious Max Twain tells Just why Governor
Jewell was removed. Mark says that q
fortnight ago citizen of Hartford mailed a
letter, directed to him, and inadvertently
fell one cent short Of full prepayment. the
post offices authorities held Q csuncil Of war
over II and then sent IL to Washington In
charge OF an artillery regiment, at great cost
TO the nation. The Dead Letter department
worried over 10 several days ana nights, and
then wrote Mark (at cost OF three cents)
HAT he could have his letter for q three cent
stamp or Its equivalent In coin. Thinking
1t might contain Q legacy he sent for IL, and
when II came be found it was simply doc
Tors bill, upon which he placed no value
Whatever. The disguised Mark then asserts
that POSTMASTER General Jewell was re
moved from the Cabinet for not collectiu n.
storage for the six days his letter lay In ths
dead letter office, and thinks that this pun-
ishment was conspicuously disproportioDe,
10 the offence.

Judge Critcher, conservative at present
state senator OF Virginia from the Northern
Neck, who was four or i've years ago con-
servative member OF Congress from the 1st
district OF Virginia, has issued O circular
letter refusing 10 60 before the party cenven-
lion OF the district shortly to assemble at
Tappahannock, and announcing himself as
an Independent Old Line Wing candidate
for Congress. The Richmond papers eyince
considerable alarm at this detection by q
man OF Judge Critcher's prominence and
Character, the Wig describing him as Sim
felligent, decided, calm, cool and delibe-
rate" Judge c. appeals TO the Old Wings
Of the district to support him, on the ground
that the financial plank OF the st. Louis
convention Is unsound; that party conven.
lions In Congressional districts have ceased
10 represent anything but the will OF poll
ucians; and that the conservative" organ
1zation In Virginia Is only q machine to
elect Old Line Democrats and to prescribe
Old Line Wings. This Is an interesting
movement 10 politicians, and may mean
trouble TO the dominant party In Virginia
Certainly trouble for IL In the LIST district, II
the republicans there have sense enough to
let Criteher have the held.

1t is now known that the Conference Com
mittee on the legislative, executive, and
judicial appropriation bill have agreed to
reduce the force in the executive depart
ments OF the government T65 persons, pro-
yided the heads OF the departments certify
that pro rata reduction based on this num-
6er is practicable. 1t Is quite probable that
most Of the heads OF departments will hold
that tie proposed reduction will be detri-
mental 70 the public interests, however, and
that In the end but comparatively few dis
charges will be provided for in the bill. In
many departments OF the government the
present force OF employees is quite ',sufficient
TO dispose OF current work, and III. result is
that in many bureaus important public
business Is delayed.

Fashionable English Dances and
Dancers.

Prior to the introduction of the waltz
and the quadrille-and these twin dances
arrived in England so nearly together
that there is some difficulty in deciding
which was really the elder-born--the
dances at Almack's had been confined to
the old English country dance, cotillions,
Scotch steps, and an occasional Highland
reel, the orchestra being from Edinburgh,
and conducted by the then celebrated
Neil Cow. The graceful minuet, and
the more vivacieus gavotte had already,
it would seem, disappeared from the ball
programme.
III Cant. Gronow be correct in assign.
ing 1918 as the date at which Lady Jer'
sey introduced from Paris the quadrillt
at Almack's, why then the waltz Ger
tainly preceded it by some two years
Byron 'sspostrophic hymn, "The Waltz,
was written at Cheltenham in the au
tumn of 1912, and published anony
mously in the spring Of the following
year.
In the course of time, however, Lor'
Palmerston might have been seen de
scribing an infinite number of circle
with Madame de Lieyen. Baron d
Neuman was frequently seen turnin
with the Princess Esterhazy; "and j
the course of time" the captain cor
cludes pleasantly. "the waltzing mani
having turned the heads of society ger
erally, descended to their feet, and tn
waltz was practiced mornings in certai
noble mansions in London with unpal
alleled assiduity."- Al the Year Rounc

The Three (MOdern) Bears.

As an English steam yacht was cruis.
ing in Spitzbergen waters one night in
1859, the watch on deck ob1erved three
bears going along the western shore of
the ford or narrow bay. The sportsmen
on board, who were fast asleep, were
quickly aroused and gave chase in a
boat. After rowing several miles up the
ford against strong ebb-tide the party
described the bears seated on a strip of
land old mother with her two cubs.
They did not observe the tOat until it
was within five hundred yards of them (;
the mother thon stood on her hind legs
to reconnoiter, and at once turned tail
and ran off at full speed with her young
ones after her. They ran 80 much faster
than the boat could follow along the
edge of the ice that il seemed ms if they
would get clear off. But they by-and-by
reached the end of the ice, and had then
to plunge into space CT soft mud, cut
up by the little channels Of water, and
with good deal of rotten ice scattered
about, as the tide had left it. Here the
progress of the bears was at once i'm
peded. The cubs were unable to jump
the channels, but had to scramble over
them as best they could ; and the old
bear, after taking her jump, invariably
waited tor them and helped them to
scramble up the steep places among the
ice. The poor young ones were much
distressed and were heard growing pite-
ously as they struggled on after their
dam. The delays enabled the boatmen to
come up with them and the chase became
exciting, when all at once the boat ran
aground in narrow channel about two
hundred yards from the bears. A long
shot from rifle stopped the running
powers of the mother the sportsmen
then scrambled through the mud and
dispatched her. Her cubs, covered with
mud and shivering with Geld, were lying
IN her body, growling savagely, and
were secured by nooses formed OF walrus
lines, which coupled them together like
brace of dogs, which in size they resem-
bled. The moment they found them
selves bound they attacked each other,
with great fury, rolling over and over in
the mud, biting, wrestling, and gr wiling
till they gave up the fight out of sheer
exhaustion. But for her instructive care
of her cubs the old bear might easily
have got away; she would not leave
them and she was lost. Their gratitude
if they had any, did not prevent them
