Anecdotes OF Sign0r Blitz.

Meeting Paganini, the violinist,
during visit to Glasgow, an infants
cry came from within the great Italian
fiddle.
My Cod" said Paganini, "what
is that?"
"You know whose child it is" said
a female voice from neighboring
closet,
The excited musician rushed to the
closet, thence back to his violin, and
then turned round to see Signor Blitz
laughing and to receive his explana-
ton.
An Egyptian mummy was present
cTby the American consul at Cairo to
a Philadelphia museum. A crowd
was one day about the case, and was
startled by a voice from among the
multitudinous linen folds:
"Opcn the box! open the box !"
said the voice.
WHO are you" asked one visitor
more venturesoma than the rest.
II am descendant of the Phar-
aohs," answered the voice.
"What do you want!"
"Ask yourself. Your COMPOUNDED
Yankee curiosity has walked me up

The Signor's fun-making propensity
seems to have been irresistible, and
found expression in all manner Of
ways and places. He made a negro
cry out from within his trunk on one
occasion, and came near being arrest

horse talk, and the frightened hostler
could not be induced to re-enter the

COnch-SIleiI Buttons.
HOW WASHINGTON CAME TO SET THE
FASHION.


1t was possibly during his stay in
New York in 1889 that Washington
began to wear on his coat the conch-
she'll buttons, Tow in possession Of
Captain L9wis's daughter. A new
fashion in dress, introduced by a Presi-
Cent, is worthy Of record, especially
when there Is an interesting story con-
ncctcd with it. This story, related by
Robert Lewis, illustrates two strik-
ing!y characteristic traits Of Washing
ton-generosity and economy.
A needy sailor with wheelbarrow
Of shells accosted the General on the
street, and, holding up q number Of
conch-shelIs, implored him to buy
them. Washington listened with
sympathy to the story Of his suffer
ings and want, and kindly replied
that he would buy them if he could in
any way make use Of them. Necessity
perhaps sharpened the sailors wits,
and he promptly suggested that they
would make lovely buttons for his
velvet coat. The General doubtless
smiled at the ingenious proposal, but
agreed to Try them, Carrying home
his ocean treasure Of pink shells, he
sent for button-maker to know if he
could manufacture q useful article out
Of the pretty playthings with which he
found himself oncumbored. The
workman replied he could make the
buttons il he could find an instrument
sharp enough to pierce them. Wash
ington would have nothing useless
abont him, and so The shells were
delivered to tho manufacturer, who in
due time returned them to him in the
shape Of concave buttons, little
larger than n quarter Of u dollar, with
a silver drop in the center hiding the
spot where The eye is fastened Beneath.
The President then astonished the
Republican Court by appearing in a
coat with pink conch-shel buttons
sparkling on its dark velvet surface.
Eighty years ago, it seems, fashion
ruled in the hearts, or over the
costumes, of men and women, just as
it does now.--for Captain'Lewis bears
testimony that conch-shell buttons

We notice that Tweed and Swccny
are soon to be released from the grasp
of the law. New York has way of
its own in the treatment Of criminals.
and it is to be hoped that it will
always keep it to itself. The
example is bad enough. These two
gigantic thieves are to be released,
simply by restoring what they nave
left of what they have stolen. When
ordinary men do ordinary stealing,
justice is usually meted to them in
good measure, but these scoundryls
seem to command the respect Of the
New Workers. No worse immortality
could well be practiccd, by the author
tiles upon any community. When it
comes to this justice may Just as well
take down her scales and 90 in. But
doubtless the evidence these men
would give against other rascals.
weighs much in their release. Still if
it had not have been for the Tweed
ring, others would not have had an
opportunity, and it they have been
partakers, they can truly say that,
that ring was the cause Of their cor
ruption. Still its no excuse for them,
and we hope that every root, and fibre
of the ring, will be pulled up, wh.thcr
it hits high or low, Democrat or
Republican, that in the end some
good may come from their release.

Every year increases the populari-
tvofthis valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it IS
kept fully mp to its high standard;
and 1t Is the onlyreliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAZE to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandr-1f, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY It's use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create o new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. a. Hayes, MD,

LONDON, September 3. Hobart Pasha writes tc
the Levant Herald, declaring as utterly fictitious
the published Diet ais of the alleged fight between
the Turkish iron clad Pethi Banlend and the Rus
sian merchant steamer Vesta. The vessels were
never within two miles of each other. The iron
clad received only one srlint shot. The captain
didn't know he had injured the Russian steamer,
and didn't pursue her, as his vessel was over laden
with deck cargo.
The foregoing is eorroborated by letter from
the Turkish chief of the naval staff at Nsrna, from
which it appears the iron clad chased the Vesta IA

doned pursuit as hopeless.
