The Golden Rule.

Some days ago, in France, a gentle
man named NJ so far forgot himself
in heated discussion as to give blow
to X, the brother of an actress. A
duel was arranged, but M, on refiec-
tion, seeing that he had been, in the
wrong sent in a note Of apology by his
second to x. The latter responded
that he would only decide whether to
accept the apology or not when they
met on the duelling ground. On the
appointed morning they met, and X,
walking up to his antagonist, said Il
have received your letter, and / am
willing to accept your excuses, not
wishing either to kill you or be killed
myself; but l have one question to ask
you first; Ii you were in my place,
would you deem o like apology a com
plete reparation for such an insult !?
Yes or no ?" Yes" answered M.
Are you sure of it? Certainly" ;"
:" am charmed to learn it.. said x,
giving M vigorous blow on the
cheek with one hand, and at the same
time with the other presenting him a
copy OF his own apology.

WASHINGTON, May 26. The most re-
markable fact yet brought out by the
House Naval Committee was testified to
to-day by Admiral Goldsborough, of
the Bureau Of Construction and Re
pairs. The Admiral was asked what
was the indebtedness OF the bureau, and
he stated 1t frankly to be nearly mil
lion and half of dollars. He said the
department had already approved bills
Of that amount, which must be met out
OF the appropriation for next year. The
Naval biil which has just passed the
House, appropriates only million and
"A half for the construction and repair,
SO that, according to Admiral GoldsDor-
ough' 8 testimony, the whole appropra-
tion passed by the House for this
branch OF the service for next year has
already been expended. The Admiral
told the committee that he had nothing
to conceal, and that he meant to tell
the truth, whatever might be the re-
suit.
Robson informed the Naval Com
mitteee not long ago that Sl,5oo,0oo
would be enough for next year, but
Goldsborough shows that the Secretary
has been trying to conceal the facts
from the House.
