Prof. Joseph Bestollie, young ltal-
ian. was n guest of w. j. Slater two
nights last week, and his performances
upon the guitar, to which he had at
tachcd little folded card upon which
he whist'ed, conveying the sound by a
wire, tclephonically, was novel as well
as sweet and interesting. One evening
he was assisted by Miss Mary Taylor,
on the piano, and her father, Nh. VIM.
T.. Taylor, on the violin. Next even
inr Miss Mamie Henderson assisted, on
the piano, and all who know these most es-
ccllent performers need not be told that
the ladies and gentlemen who gathered
each evening were delightfully."- enter

GBoston Travellers Washington letter.
Washington has one Of the most in
veterate practical joEers in this or
any other country, and some of his
pranks throw the efforts of the late
E. A. southern completely into the
shade. Unfortunately he is not only
fond of "the wine when it is red" but
stronger drink has obscured his tai
ents and well-nigh demoralized his
reputation. One of his pet hobbies is
drunk" and then to hire band and
serenade his friends. A few weeks
ago he went on spree, and his friends
were Mortified at being serenaded
after midnight with this band
the subject of my sketch uniformed
like the rest, and footing cracked
and discordant clarionet. Ills last es-
capade seems to be his masterpiece.
Not long ago, accompanied by one OF
the members of the foreign legations,
be started out and visited nearly
every saloon in town, and before mid
night his friend was in shocking
condition. The Joker took the diplo-
matist home with him and put him in
bed. He then went out and bought a
coffin and laid the drunken man in it,
placing a number of lighted taper5 at
the foot of the casket. subsequently
he sent note to the legation, notify
ing them that the young man had
died in his room very suddenly from
heart disease. OF course there was a
shocking scene, and it would be diff
cult to picture the Indignation of the
foreigners when they discovered the
deception which had been played
upon them.

and said, No, th1nk you, l never

"Do you know the difference be-

Galloway insists that his accounts are
thoroughly correct, and that there is
not one cent justly due the railroad

ing from certain bills for which the
company had failed to give him
credit. He has been in the e-4ploy Of

any improper expenses on his part,
