How 20 Entertain the Girls,

l'Nhat shall we do TO entertain our
giris9" says a religious exchange. A
man who needs advice as to how to en-
tertain his girls is not fit to edit a reli-
gious paper. We suggest that ne should
take one of them Qua buggy-riding in the
afternoon, tell her what a daisy she is,
and how insipid and fixed-up that other
girl is. Then he should take that other
glrl' out for ice cream after supper and
tell her cpnfidentially how very uninter-
estIng and awkward the buggy-ridine
girl is. When the two girls meet the
religious editor can depend on them en-
tertaininrg each other without his per-
saaal assistance. IeIas Sutinqs.

Behind q little silken mesh of lace
That hides and yet reveals l see her face:
The hlmy web doth not obstruct my view,
With softened grace her beauty shineth
through;
Eyes large and luminous, sweet lips aglow,
Fair waving tresses on brow of snow.
So many charms the little net reveals,
Can there be one wonder it conceals?
SO, wondering oft, a longing doth assaiI
My very soul to tear away her veil;
80 fool1sh! well know her radiant face
LIS all the fairer for that bit of lace.
Behind winning, battling veil of pride,
Intangible yet real, her heart doth hide;
The subtle veil no single grace doth mar;
her truth and love shine through, yet doth 1t
bar
MY too audacious eyes; though many day
lain would tear the torturing thing away
And see her soul, | will be wise; who knows7
The bud hath beauty that the open rose
Hath lost forever, and there is no room
For sweet conjecture Ger rose in bloom;
Maybe love her more for that sweet PRIDE
Behind whose strength her loving hearth doth
hide.

He Walked Of.

Some weeks ago man named Murray, who
for while was an engineer for Auerbach,
Finch & Van Slyck, was arrested on charge
of larceny, and after an examination was sent
to JAIL While confined in the Jail he was taken
sick, and suffered from some disease that eff
fected his head.
The case became apparently so serious that
in accordance with the opinion of the physi-
clans, and in Difference to the sentiments of
humanity the sheriff allowed the man to be
taken out to the city hospital. The result
is that last night about s O'Clock Murray
got up aud walked out of the hospital.
The information that he was gone was CON-
municated to the sheriff as speedily as pos
sible, and Deputy Sheriff Harrison went out
to the hospital and hunted the town over to
find the man, but was unsuccessful in his
efforts.

Shipherd san on the Stand.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The Shipherd ex.
animation was resumed this morning. Wit
ness said his letters to Hurlbut were written
because he believed it was properly part OF
his official duties as American minister to for
ward American interests.
Blount-What did you mean in your letter
TO Hurlbut by the words "Grant is now one
of u.s."
Witness had regretted the use of that term,
but it was written when he (witness) was in q
great hurry. He would desire to state pre-
cisely what their relations were. In
September he (Shipherd) had talk
with General Grant concerning the affairs
of the Peruvian company. l told him our
people were disposed to put him at the head
of the company. He frankly stated his posi-
ton in about these words: 81 shall not at
present consider any proposition to become
pecuniarily interested in your company, but
will not hesitate to give you my views upon
your case as | understand it" and after some
further discussion he remarked: "Mr. Ship
herd, it will make no difference whether am
a stocKholder or not. Ishould do nothing for
you whether / were a stakeholder or not,
other than to help you in securing from the
government that cooperation and aid to
which you are justly entitled
Witness said Gen. Grant never was stock
holder, but feeling that they could count up
ON his coed offices, even mort than if he were
a stakeholder, he Witness IN his letter to Gen
eral Hurlbut had spoken of Gen. Grant in that
way as being lone of u.s." Ex-senator Conk-
ling agreed to accept retainer for his profess
sional services if occasion should arise.
Reading further from Shepherds letter to
Hurlbut, Blount asked: "Who were the par
ties with whom you say you were holding
confidential correspondence?
Witness declined to answer, intimating that
the committee were exceeding the range
of their investigation and obtrudlng upon
purely private matters.
Blunt then asked if the witness had any,
thing further to offer in justification of his
charge that Hurlbut had been influenced
against the Peruvian company by the credit
industrial.
shpherd replied at some length to the effect
that he had already been charged with pursu-
ing an attack upon the reputation Of dead
man, and he did not care TO 60 further or say
anything that was not directly in the line OF
his own justification. He had heard from
newspapers and heard from Others reports
connecting Hurlbut with the the credit indus
trial, and these reports he (Shipherd) had re-
peated TO Secretary Blaine at their interview OF
October ID.
Witness was then asked to give the names
of the parties from whom he had heard the
reports, and replied that he do SO privately TO
the committee if they desired to summon
them as witnesses, but he must decline TO
give their names to the country through the
reports.
The question was not pressed, and the COM
mittee adjourned.
