The Girl Went Home Drying.

uC UAEl w eht NOME Nry Ing
Washington special: Half dozen
girls and their ambitious mothers have
believed they have fairly 'bagged"
Mr.. Arthur, when, in fact, he has
never thought the second time about
them. | know of some very funny
things growing out of this sort of fan
cy. | will tell you one. Last year
there was q very pretty girl here from
the principal city of a great Western
State, and she was presented to the
President Oh course he was polite,
as he always is, and she thought she
had" him. Her knowledge of the
world was extremely superficial, and
her mother had very little sense or
knowledge of the ussges of the best
society. She boosted OF her daughters
conquest to her acquaintance,
and finally the story was tel
egraphed to a Western pa.
per. A friend of the President saw
the dispatch and showed it to him.
That evening there was something
going on at the White House. Our
hamOoyant child of the Occidental
was there, clothed in her radiant love-
illness and a perfectly fitting gown
from Piugots, and she was very pref
ty. She had intimated to about
twent friends that she meant to par
ade her captive. So, with an air of
assurance born of her coarse vanity,
she endeavored to monopolize him.
But, to her utter amazement, she could
not get into the circle of intimates at
all. He barely looked at her, did not
ask her to promenade, and when sup
per came took down Virginia cousin
of his late wife, who was neither
young nor pretty and had never heard
OF Pingot. The girl went home crying
with modification aud rage, and Mr..
Arthur was never polite to her again.
well, but is the President marry.
ing mani" | asked. mo, 1 think
not. If he had cared to he might
have married an immense fortune be
fore this. There is a lady in New
York, the widow of man FIVE times a
millionaire. She is not over thirty,
and one of the handsomest women in
America. She would be very glad to
marry him, know, and at one time l
thought he meant something by his
attentions in that quarter. There are
other instances, but this is the only
one in which | saw any possibilities.
No, | don't believe ho will ever
marry"

from which they had started In their
headlong charge, the handful Of sur.
vivors, not over $50 men, wheeled
round to face the enemy, dressed up as
If on parade. aud burst into cheers of
exultation and defiance. The order
never has been explained, nor is it
known from whom it was issued, or
whether, in truth, it was ever given.
Captain Nolan, who delivered it, was
the first man who fell. As a military
maneuver it was useless, insane, and
without possible result. As mill
tary exploit it mas never been
equaled.
Reading this account, the impor-
lance Of mr. Boyle's statement be-
comes evident. Mr.. Boyle claims
that Lord Raglan himself, from the
heights of Sebastopol, gave the order
to charge and capture the Russian ar
tillery. The order may have been all
right when issued, but a ride of nine
miles before it could be delivered al
lowed change in position of the
Russian troops, which resulted in the
fearful slaughter, Mr.. Boyle did not
give his authority for the explanation
further than that he had found it to
be correct alter the investigation OF
the blunder which was made was over.
II the order to the Light Brigade went
direct from the commander, through
Captain Nolan. then the measure of
which has enveloped the
slain Captains name should be re-
moved.

SPNSAaA W hihtAo NUN bdAbtttt
CAMDEN, Ark, July lion the
1th inst. a little three year old son of
Mac Smith, who resides in this county,
some twenty miles from here, died Of
hydrophobia, an unmistakable case.
The child was bitten while at play in
his fathers yard on the Oath day of
May, The wounds were in the
arm, face and under lip, the
latter very much lacerated. Three
days efteF 3 mad stone was
applied to the wound on the face and
arm with success, but the severest
wound on the lip, owing to its position
and the fretting Of the child, could
not be treated.
On the 23d day of May two colored
children were severely bitten by the
same dog. The mad stone was applied
four days after, and up to date no
signs Of the terrible malady have made
their appearance. These facts were
learned from Mr.. Il. 4. Smith. a
brother Of Mac Smith, and one OF our
most respected and reliable citizens.

James G. Boyle is an Englishman
about sixty five years old, "a shoemaker
by trade and who has a shop at No
l24l Penn avenue. He is one OF the
few persons to be found to-day who
witnessed the famous charge Of the
Light Brigade at Balaklava in Octo-
Der, 1884, during the Crimean war
Mr.. Boyle waB, at the time, 6 servsns
connected with the RiRhlanders under
command Of Sir Colin Campbell.
Recently, in speaking Of the charge
memorable IL history and rendered
undying by Tennyson's lines, Mr..
Boyle said he felt confident that the
slaughter on the occasion was greatly
Overestimated. This statement com-
ing to the ears of q reporter of the
Dispatch, 3 visit was made to Mr..
Boyle yesterday. He was hard at work
making strong what had become a weak
pair of shoes. Learning the mission Of
his visitor, he said:

Maybe l did say that | thought the
number of persons killed was overes-
timated, but it was only when there
was talk about it in a saloon few
nights ago. You look up the history
Of it; l don't want to place myself
against history"
The reporter insinuatingly persisted
in plying questions, and finally Mr..
Boyle got interested in his own remi>
niscences. He got up off his stool,
and with two or three awls,a shoema>
ker's knife, the lapstone. milestone
and shoes in various degrees of dilapi-
dation, proceeded to make birds eye

heights of Balaklava, where General
Campbell's troops, the Highlsnders

men, making 5000 men, were camped
The commander of the army, Lord
Raglan, was on the heights of Sebas-
topol. nine miles distant, but he COM
manded full view OF the plains of
Sebastopol and Balaklava. The whole
blame of the charge of the Light
Brigade has been placed on Captain
Nolan, but | know that he wasn't to
blame. Captain Nolan was a splendid
horseman; he had been called from
India to take charge of the horse in
the army. On that day Lord Raglan
saw, from the heights of Sebastopol,
the advance Of the Russians. He saw
that the artillery was unsupported,
and he wanted charge made to cap
ture il before the infantry could come
up to support it. He called Captain
Nolan and gave him the orders to
make charge upon the artillery. 1t

Captain Nolan reached the place the
position Of the Russian troops had

The Hero of Eighty Pairs Of Trousers.


Eighteen OR twenty years ago While
Charles Francis Adams was our minister
at the court of St. James, 8 story came
up from Oxford one day that Il young
American student there needed the pres
ence of his friends, aud upon the dis
patch of relief corps, it was discovered
that the young American in tie case had
cot into fix, which made it necessary to
have mayshalitg Of his assets, as the
lawyers say. All inventory was accord
ingly takeu and it was found that his en-
tire nv .ilable resources at that moment
consisted of eighty pairs of trousers.
Our solemn old public servant IL Lon
don issaid to have been intensely amused
at the report which Was made 20 him,
and to have remembered it for long
time afterward " henever, as so frequent.
ly it was tho case, it vas reported to
him that some American citizen was in
need Of help. Well, the hero,
remarkable collection Of panta-
looms had done nothing to disgrace him
self, and there is no harm in telling the
story now that be has become the most
brilliant and one Of the best remnner-
ated writer's On the New York Press.
His name is M. W. Hazeltine, and he
gets SITS every week for doiog much OF
the best work that is done on the New
York Sun. AS literary essayist and
reviewer he is unequaled among Am eri-
can journalists since the death of Rip
lev. of the Tribune. His leaders on
American and foreign politics are as able
as thev are interesting.

Indians Who Are Shrewd Buyers.

MISS t1CZg1DDO0'S BOOK on M401LOD8.J
I watched some Indians shopping and
was astonished to see how invariably
they waved aside inferior goods and
chose such material as merinos at $1.50
to So yard. One of the merchants told
me that it would be useless to offer them
anything but the best. An Indian who
could not speak English or French, and
wanted five things, divided his money
according to the idea of their relative
cost in little piles on the counter, and
going through pantomine descriptive
of his wants, was handed some silk hand
kerchiefs. Taking one up he felt It, held
it up to the light, and throwing it aside
shook his head vigorously, muttering an
"Ugh!' of disgust. When shown a
bette one he was doubtful; but, upon a
much superior article being produced,
he took it, and willingly handed over one
pile for it. This, however, was too
much, and when given the change he put
it on one of the other piles, and proceeded
in the same way to make the rest of his
purchases. How easily they could be
cheated" I said to the clerk, after the
Indian had left, "No," he replied, "not
so easily as it would appear" They
generally come in from their camps in
great numbers once year to sell furs
and make purchases. They go to differ
ent shops, and on their return compare
notes as to the cost and quality of their
goods. Then, if one has paid more than
another, or has been cheated in quality,
he will never enter that shop again; and
the firm that gives the greatest bargains
is most patronized on their return.
