Tsu the Gentleman Yes.p

A London newspaper tells q curious
story about a gentleman who proposed
at a dinner party to the lady who is
now his wife. He had been a lover for
some time, but never quite persuaded
himself up to the point Of popping the
question. During the eventful dinner
he learned from the person sitting next
him that a rival intended that evening
to make an attack upon his Dulcinea's
heart. She was sitting some distance
from him at the table, and the rival was
at her side. He was equal to the
emergency. however, for, tearing a half
leaf from his notebook, he wrote upon
it:
".Will you be my wifeP Write your
answer, yes or no, upon this paper.
and return it to me-"
Calling a waiter, the ingenious lover
sent the missive to "thc lady in blue at
the end of the table-to be very care
full" Tho servant did as directed, but
the lover in his anxiety forgot to send
his pencil. The lady had presence OF
mind, however, and, tucking the note
into her bosom, said to the waiter:
Tell the gentleman yes"

The Prince of Wales Cab.

The Prince of Wales, says the Lon
don World, has taken very much of late
to a private hanson. He attended the
last Sandown meeting in it both days:
and while the Prince deserves credit, l
think, for adopting a mode of convey
ance so sensible and transformations, tho
cab itself is worthy of notice, for it is
an embodiment of comfort and good
taste. By a simple application Of the
lever principle the driver from his seat
behind can shut and open the doors as
required. In addition to large side
windows, two large windows in the
back Of the cab permit the occupant to
cast a Parthian glance behind when
need be; and q travelling clock. with .
luminous dial-face in the center Of the
s~plash-board. prevents the necessity Of
unbuttoning the greatcoat to have re-
course to a watch. I only hope his
royal highncss will pick up Sir Edmund
Henderson one day, and show him what
cabs might and should be. The Princes
cab is 6y no means expensive. and is
strongly built. though light and hand
some.

Yesterday Hon. S. G. Wright returned

roaming about the Eastern States. lie

seven years,
An APPEAL reporter asked him how
he liked the East, and he replied:

Washington and New York, and wished

covered with spangles. I wasn't able
to translate single inscription, because
the police who stood all about the thing
wouldn't allow me to get near enough.
When a man travels three thousand
miles to see an obclisk, and isn't allowed
to read the inscriptions, he feels as if
he'd been sWindIed. But the queerist

WAsHNGToN. Jan. Il - In the dis

cd the general extension Of the franking
privilege. The idea of taxing representatives,
of the people for communication with their
constituents about matters of public coucern
was wrong, and the more the people were
encourage by carrying their letters to Con
Republican government. The main cause
Of the abolition of the privilege, as it former
" existed, was out of the hue and cry by 4
few newspapers in the belief that by cutting
OH communication between Congressman
AMI distant parts Of the country
they would increase their circulation
The chairmen Of the committees Of Congress
particularly wcrc subjected Ia considerable
expense for postage.

eye was properly not a privilege 10 members
Of Congress, hut was a privilege of the Pco-
pie, and 1t was taken away because it was
ilasrantlv abused. Years ago a bundle of

one of party employed in the recess pre-
ccdinE the Presidential election in preparing
matter for the mails in the Capitol Easement
lie found the bundle contained not one line
