Malone Pronounced a Liar.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.--Ex-Cou.
gresham Dezendorf (republican), OF
Virginia, says in reference to the Ma
hone manifesto that any statement or
insinuation that reign of terror exists
in Virginia is an ninfamous lie. He pro-
tests against having his property in the
Old Dominion injured by such false
hoods as are set forth in the Malone
address. The election, he adds, was
pcaceabe aud fair and Malone was
squarely and honestly beaten. If the
Malone ticket had received every vote
cast in Danville it would not have
changed the result The riot was un-
fortunate, but it is attributed directly
to Mahone's peculiar methods of con-
Quoting the campaign and the inhamma-
tory speech of the readjuster Sims.

GRESHAM ISSUES AN ORDER TO PosTMAs-
TIERS ON THE SUBJECT.

WAsnINGToN, Nov. 2l.-The follow
ing official order has been made :
sit appearing that certain persons
have been practicing systematic frauds
on ex-union soldiers and their widows
and orphans or other heirs by making
false representations concerning pen
sion claims and extorting illegal fees
for services pretended to have been or
promised to be rendered, and this de-
partment having reason to believe that
some postmasters have been aiding
these fraudulent claims agents by fur
nishing them with lists of names of ex-
union soldiers and others supposed to
be entitled to pensions and also by dis
tributing their unaddressed circulars
among the class, therefore are forbid
den hereafter to furnish such lists or to
distribute any circulars of the kind in
dicated unless they are addressed to some
individual and are prepared as required
by law.

Miss AstOr as a Ballet Dancer.

A New York letter to the Albany Jour- nal says:-Miss Garry Astor, daughter of William B. Astor, heiress expectant to millions upon millions, pet in our most exquisite society, has become a ballet dancer. Her debut was in the presence of 0 jammed crowd of eager spectators. The dance was Dutch reel elaborated by new and picturesque movements. Miss Astor wore correct Dutch peasant costume, consisting of Q red merino skirt and white muslin waist; her hair was braided behind and banded with an ornamental gold device, while her cap, modelled after those worn by the girls of the province of Friesland, was prettily coquettish. She had heavy gold bracelets, gold-linked chain neck lace, a diamond brooch and diamond earrings. She danced gracefully to the music of zithers, and was applauded with immense enthusiasm. No perform ance by the expert Cavallazzi, the bal let premier of grand opera at the Aca- demy of Music, ever gained half the ap- probation. Of course Miss Astor didn' t do this on the stage. though it was part of a show at which $1 admission fee was charged. This happened at the Kirmess, or Dutch festival, given for charitable ohiaot

Artemus Wards Ideas.

Artemus Ward is worthy companion of Irving, Holmes and Lowell, and nobly excells Mark Twain and Bret Harte, in that his wit is never impure, never i'm moral. never irreverent His lecture on ''The Mormons," the London Times, quoted by MT. Howells, describes as "utterly free from offense, although op- portunities for offense are obviously numerous. The lecturer and contribu- tor to Punch says of himself: "I never strain my pages with even mild profani- ty. In the first place it is wicked, and in the next it is not funny" Strange that so many would-be wits lack wit to discern this truism. Another sentence of Artemus Ward is in itself answer to a dozen Ingersoll lecturers:
 "'Are you preacher ? says the royal Duke, slitely sarkastical.
 "'No, sir; but I bleeve ill meetln houses. Show me 0 place where there isn't any meetin' houses and preachers Is never seen, and I'll show you place where old hats air stuffed into broken windows, where the children are dirty and ragged, where gates have no hinges, where the wimmin are slipshod ano where maps of the devils wild land all painted upon mems shirt busums witt tobacco jooce! That's what I'll show you. Let us consider what the preacher do for us before we aboose 'em.

name. She was ruined through opium, he said. Another young girl, with the usual white face and faltering step, came down to the door, and she was soon joined by woman with a bandage around her head, who appeared to be person in authority. She spoke to the girl sharply about standing at the door,
 Just then young Chinaman, dressed in American clothing, walked up the street and whispered to one of the girls. He then beckoned to two fashily dressed young men who were standing in shad owy nook near by and @ moment later the young men and girls were chatting at the door. Two Chinamen went into .he hallway, but hurried out again g. if alarmed.
 Two young girls went into the opium den at No. IS Mott street, at about elev en o'clock and the reporter saw several girls go from No. II Mott street into 0 saloon at the corner of Chatham street, where they drank some beer. In some instances the little ones were accompa- nied by hard looking females.
 Returning to No. IF Pell street the reporter saw roundsman of police stop at the door and chat with the woman whose head was bandaged.
 SCHOOL TRUSTEE s STATEMENT.
 School Trustee Patrick H. Mcdonald, who is one of the committee appointed by the Catholic Young Mems Association to uproot the evils of Chinatown, said yesterday that his residence was opposite to No. IT Pell street and that he knew personally many of the little girls who smoked opium in the Chinese dens.
 "Why," said he, "I have only to look out of my windows and into the windows of the houses across the street to see sights that are actually blood curd!ing. These Chinese dens are the most danger ous places for young girls in the city, and the system which they employ in decoy- ing victims is astounding in its evil re- suits. I am father myself, and I would not make charges lightly. but one-half of the terrible iniquity of Chinatown has not been exposed"
 It is said that the revelations of Emma Pool, @ young woman who confessed in the Tombs Police Court several days ago that she was confirmed opium smoker, are being investigated by the Society for the Prevention of Crime She gave the names of 8 number of children who, she said, were regular habit4es of Chinese dens, and claimed that she had seen little girls dosed with opium candy by Mott street Chinamen in order that they might acquire taste for the drug, thus becoming easy victims 1 to worse crimes.

Suffering for a Brothers Crime.

Governor Blackburn, of Kentucky, pardoned James $. Sizemore, who was sent to the Penitentiary from Clay county in 1880 for six years, charged with mur- der. It is said that Sizemore made no defense. His brother, a man with large family, being the real criminal, Sizemore voluntarily took the odium and penalty on himself for the sake of his bro ther and his family. His brother when dying recently made q declaration of his guilt and gave such unmistakable proof of the truth of his confession that the Cover nor issued pardon at once when the facts were made known to him.

WORKING IN THE GARDEN.
The Boy who Loves Such Work and the
 Way in Which he Does it.

There is probably no work, unless it be saving wood, says Peck's Stte, that a boy hates to do more than work in the garden in the spring. 1t is the season when the boy is let out after winters confinement and he is just aching for fun, and he don't want any work around the house to bother him. Boys have been known to lay down fish pole and give up 8 days fishing for the fun of raking up yard, when the prospects of bon fire in the evening were good, but when it comes to spading up an old flower bed, he knows the fish are just dying to be caught, and it requires good deal of diplomacy to keep him at the spading job an hour at time. Ard boy can hardly be blamed for it, eith- CT. In the spring, he wants to get out and shake himself playing ball, and no exercise in garden with spade will do any boy on earth, that has got any get up about him. Boys have been known to lean over on their knees playing mar bles for hours at a time, and until they had callouses on their knees that stuck right through their pants, but boy with callouses on his knees from leaning over an onion bed in the garden would be one of the curiosities of the age. Nearly all the great statesmen of the present day can look back to the time when they would rather stand in the mud and water up to their knees and fish for bull-heads than help plant pota- toes in the best garden in the country. l A boy seems to have a horror for working around garden, and we don't believe there is man in the country to- day, who ever was boy, but who can | look back to the time when his fate for a spring day lie between working in his fathers garden, and going fishing or playing ball, and when he could by any sharp boyish statesmanship choose the latter, that he did not sneak over the back fence with can of angle-worms under his coat, and let the garden slide
 You take for instance, boy with lame back, and almost every boy has lame back when there is any work to be done in the garden, and almost any paren
 would take pity on him and tell him tt
 go in the house and go to bed. It seems
 from that moment that the boys bacl
 grows stronger, and ill fifteen minutes h'
 is out of the window, and the neighbor
 hood, over with 8 crowd of other boys
 straining his poor little weak back try
 ing to knock the stuffing out of ball
 with a bat, that required more eXertiol
 to wield than hoe would. Even tn
 best kind of boy, who will gladly worl
 like major at any other season of tn
 year, seems to have fearful falling ou with all manner of labor in the spring
 But somehow the spring garden is mad
 each year, and the boy grows up to man hood, and finally has boy of his own and garden that demands attention then it seems that when he wants hi own boy to help in the garden, and fiji
 teen minutes after he sets the boy :, work he finds him in the street playin marbles, he forgets how it was when h was boy himself, and he argues wit , his boy with hoe handle. Twas eve
 thus.

NEVER THE TIME AND THE PLA OF.

Never the time and the place
 And the loved one all together! This path--how soft to pace
 This Msy-what magic weather Where is the loved ones face? In dream, that loved ones face meets mine,
 But the house is narrow, the place is bleak Where, outside, rain and wind combine.
 With furtive ear, if strive to speak,
 With hostile eye at my flushing cheek With malice that masks each word, each sign o, enemy sly and serpentine, Uncoil thee from the waking man
 Do Ibehold the past
 Thus firm and fast, Yet doubt if the future hold can? This path, so soft to pace, shall lead Thro' the magic of May to herself indeed ! Or narrow if needs the house must be, Outside are the storm and strangers; We Oh, close, safe, warm, sleep and she, -I and she. BRowNIEe.
