Mrs. Langtry's Opinion of Ameri-
can Beauty.

New York World.
"Do You think American women are
beautiful"
81 do indeed. have seen some love
ly women here, particularly at Del
monico's, but wonder at their wearing
bonnets in the evening. think they
look much better without them at that
time, particularly in the theaters, If
American ladies would attend theaters
in evening dress and without hats, the
audience would appear to better advan-
tage"
Mrs. Langtry expressed herself as de-
lighted with American hotels. Delmon-
ico's, she thought, was the best in the
world, and added, laughingly; "a friend
asked me the other day, to what | de-
voted my time, and | replied: TO my
art and Delmonico's.' "

Bishop Pierce.
LaGrange, Ga, reporter

LaGrange, Ga, Reporter
Bishop Pierce is aging rapidly. His
step is feeble, his voice often fails him.
As we look upon the venerable, now
bowed form Of this once erect and grand
man of God, we thought of the crown
awaiting him beyond the SOURCES Of the
river of death. Like father among
his children like good shepherd in the
midst of his flock, he presidcs over this
conference, nearly all of whom are his
boys trained to preach under his eye.
The bishop is still in LaGrange, the
guest Of Rev. Z. A. Heard He viii 60
hence next week to preside over the Ala
hanna Conference at Troy. He might
well claim to be retired, but will doubt
less work on in the cause he loves until
the harness shall fall from his weary
shoulders at the touch of death.

On one occasion Mr.. Conkling was
making speech in the Senate, during
which he repeatedly turned to Judge
Thurman, As everybody knows, the
great Ohioan is little peppery at
times, and at last he said testify to Mr..
Conkling. "Does the Senator from New
York expect me to respond every time
he turns to meY" "When speak Of the

Beecher Brings Down the House

themselves more ready with apt illusions
and sallies of wit, has seldom brought

more successfully than he did last Mon
day evening. Plymouth Church was
crowded to the doors with one Of its

Gospel Temperance Union, which was
received with great enthusiasm. AS the
prolonged applause at the close of her
lecture died away Mr.. Beecher descend

and stood for moment regarding-al

expression Of mingled wonder and ad

1t begins to look as though an interpre-

terms used relating to time, place, quality

shall take effect. The several Depart.
ments are being called upon with painful
frequency to render decisions upon every
conceivable problem.

There is rumor around the hotels that
there has been row between Attorney
General Brewster and Marshal McMichael.
AS told TO the Critic, the story ran about
thus:
The Marshal called on his royal highness
after his return from Philadelphia, where
he had been attending in court and looking
after one of his clients interest The At
torney- General was not feeling very well
or in very good humor. The Marshal
had not been in the august presence of his
lord and master long before Brewster,
Attorney General, inquired how he was
getting along uniforming his subordinates.
The Marshal replied that his men would be
out in full.dress by about the 1st of April.
How will the boys look in their uni
forms i" inquired the Attorney General.
"Oh very well, think"
The Attorney-General, after making
further inquiry as to how the uniforms
were being trimmed, wanted to know if
the Marshal had included in the uniforms
ruffled shirts.
" have not" answered the polite and
good -natured Marshal.
This aroused the old man, He ripped.
tore, swore and paved the floor in rage,
for ten or fifteen minutes. When he had
talked and swore himself out of breath, he
sat down to rest. The Marshal took ad-
vantage Of the lull and undertook to reason
with the old man, but to no effect. 1t only
made him worse.
