An Important Question.
From the Partisan. /

Should or should not the lady Of the
house remain seated when a gentleman
enters her drawing room, or takes his
leave This ID a custom now agitated
in certain fashionable circles. The
majority Of authorities say that She
should remain seated. 4 femme du
nl0nde should rise only to an ecclesiastic
to an old man, or TO a prince of royal
blood; and if she rises to man Of polit-
zeal position it should be rather to man
who has lost bis place than to a man
who holds one.

Unexpectcd uatcrinlixation.

An unexpected incident took place at u
spiritualistic seancc at Providence, II. l.,
recently. A party of ladies and gentlemen
made arrangements with medium to give
them private seance. The agent collected
the customary fee, one of the visitors giving
a So bill and receiving the change. The
fees were passed into the cabinet by the
agent, and the seance began. Materialized
forms of departed brothers, sisters and
friends issued from the cabinet at the re-
quest of the visitors. Presently departed
sister of Mr.. S. with bouquet in her
hand, issued and presented him with the
flowers. He noticed piece of green paper
among the flowers, and quickly transferred
it to his vest pocket. The visitors retired
and Mr.. ST. then found the green paper to be
the identical fve-dollar bill which he had
given to the agent. On their arrival home
the medium telegraphed a demand for the
five dollars. The person who received the
bill holds that it belongs to him, as the
spirit of his sister gave it to him, and he re.
fuses to return it,

How n Nun Goea TO Bed.

Speaking of how imam goes to bed, an cx-
change says: "There's where man has
the advantage. He can undress in cool
room. and have his bed warm before
woman has her hair-pins out and her shoes
united" That is how 1t looks in print, and
this is how IL looks in reality: ~ am going
to bed, my dear. 1t is 1880" No reply.
Now, John, you are always late in the
morning. Do go to bed" eyes, in u min
ute" he replies, as he turns the paper
wrong side out and begins a lengthy article
headed Tho Louisiana Muddle." Fifteen
minutes later she calls from the bed room
John, come to bed and don't keep the gas
burning here all night" and murmuring
something about "the bill being big enough
now," she creeps between the cold sheets,
while John sits placidly on his feet across
the piano stool and a cigar in his mouth By
and-by he rises, yawns, stretches himself,
throws the paper on the floor, and proceeds
to that vigorous exercise, shaking the coal
stove. Just ut this stage, a not altogether
pleasant voice inquires "For pity sake!
amt you ready for bed YETI" ayes, yes,
I'm coming. Why don't you go to sleep
and let fellow alone?" Then he dis
covers that there Is coal needed When
that is supplied and ratified into the stove
he sits down to warm his feet. Next he
slowly begins 10 undrcSS, ana as he stands
scratching himself, and absently gazing
on the last garment dangling over the back
OF the chair, he remembers that the clock
is not wound yet When this is attended
to he wants drink of water, and away he
promcnades to tho kitchen. OF course
when he returns his skin resembles that of
u picked chicken, and once more he seats
himself before the fire for the last warm up.
As the clock strikes IL he turns out the gas,
and with flop of she bed clothes aud few
spasmodic shivers he subsides-no, not yet !;
he forgot to see If the front door was locked,
and another flop from the bed clothes brings
forth the remark. "Good gracious If that
man mint enough to try the patience Of
job" Setting her teeth hard, she awaits
the final flop, with the accompanying blast
of cool air, and then quietly inquiries if he is
settled for the night, to which he replies
by muttcring: " If you amt the provok-

Gulf Volcanoes.


Some of the interior papers speak of a
plague that destroys the fish in the water
along the Southern coast. Isany such state of
things now in tprogress? 1t has not ap-
peared in the fishing grounds off this por-
tion of the coast, and no complaint has been
made of it in the coast newspapers. 1t has
been stated that the fish of the Gulf of
Mexico have several times been subjected
to pidemics Of some mortal disease, which
destroys them in great numbers, so that
their dead bodies have been drifted ashore
in such quantities as to poison the air with
their decay and putridity. Such an event
is reported to have occurred in 1874, another
in 1854, while similar but less extended
visitations have been observed at other
times.
1t is likely that these fish plaques are
caused by the poisonous effects of the sui
phur fumes of submarine volcanoes in the
Gulf of Mexico. Mexico and Central
America are studded with active volcanoes
which are subject to the most violent erup-
lions

AT recent anti-vivisection meeting in

would do his utmost to put an end to the

The Princess Milena Of Montenegro, is
woman of strong nerves and is possessed
ola placidity acquired probably by an early
and constant familiarity with deeds of

Ben Thompson, who keeps gambling
hell ut Austin, Texas, is soft in speech,
small in stature, and usually mild in man
ner yet he is one of the noted desperadoes
of the Southwest, and has killed half n
dozen men. He cannot, however, be accused
of downright MURDER for in every instance
he technically acted in self-defcnse. That
is his popularity. Whenever he gets into
a fight in which pistols are drawn, he rcck-
lessly waits until his opponent has fired,
and then deliberately shoots back This
plan affords him q clear defense in court,
and has not yet resulted in his death, us it
might reasonably be expected to do.

The District Commissioners Can
Answer.

To the Editor Of The Evening Critic:
Is it true that the Commissioners abated
over $1,000 of taxes assessed against the
property of one of their own number,
thereby imposing that sum upon the other
Taxpayers of the District? There is such
rumor on the street. l wish you would
look this matter up and let us know the
facts. The charge is that one of the Com
missioners has taken advantage of his posi-
( ion to relieve himself or his family from
taxation. His property has been improved,
and now he has saddled the cost of improv-
ing it on his neighbors. Is this true or not
