One of Fagin's favorite lessons TO the
boys ne was educating for thieves was
making them expert in laying the crime on
some one else when detected. They were
drilled in this act to perfection, and the
lesson seems to have borne fruit among
the telephone thieves of the Pioneer Press.
They plead guilty to the act of caves
dropping, being dastardly and sneaking,
but allege it was done by somebody else.
The expertness with which they lied when
they made up bogus conversation stamps
it rs their own work. That was done to
cover up pointer" on news which they
supposed they had stolen, but as the
"Pointer"was an error or the part of one of
the parties talking and they failed to Sc
cure the actual news, which referred to the
new depot prospect, they have all the in
fanny of the act and gained nothing.

Food and Drink at the opera.

In the written contracts made between Colonel Mapleson and his artists there are many secret clauses not generally known to the public. A member of his company who was discharged for incompetency some two years ago informed me of this and quite sur prised me by the following revelations It appears, according to contract, that Campa- mini is allowed glass of hot rum in the first act of sfFaust" When he drinks the fiery cup handed to him by Mephistopheles people suppose that it simply contains little alco hol burning. I can assure the public now that it is first-class Santa Cruz rum punch, and the great tenor enjoys 1t heartily; In fact, without it he could not do justice to his brilliant song 'Io Voglia placer" which fol- lows it.
 In the Kermesse scene, act second, the choristers have beer on draught, which they ingurgitate while the old mems chorus is be- ing sung, and in stDon Giovanni every bas- so who plays Leporello has in the supper scene Qast act) bowl of hot macaroni or gratin and quart bottle of Ohianti wine.
 FsThe Huguenots," /" it appears was always a favorite with Colonel Mapleson's artists on account of the spread in act first, while Miss Hauk invariably polishes of pint of Mumm, in the Brindisi scene, ''Traviata."
 In Era Diavolo" there is a free lunch and drink, in first act, for the tenor, before sing ing "On wonder rock reclining" and this is the reason why Campanini wishes to have the opera revived.
 The tenor, by the way, is partial to 'tRigo- letto," because he gets good glass of win ordinaire, in Sparafuciles house before sing ing 'La Donna @ mobile"
 Miss Hauk always wanted Colonel Maple son to revive 'Lucretia Borgia,'' because there's 'lay-out" in the last act, and the contralto, Miss Cary, wished 1t to be pro duced likewise, because in the s'Brindisi" there is an opportunity for draining some good Italian wine
 In Verdi's 'tMacbeth" there is drinking song, and the Colonel has been asked repeat edly to revive it, but he refuses
 ''Martha" is favorite with bassi and bari toni, on account of the drinking song for Plunkett Porter or Dublin stout is the usu al beverage when the opera is given, and as the morceau is always encored, the singer gets two drinks.
 Members of the chorus have a fondness for ''Ernani" on account of the opening chorus, when they all drink and shout in the jolliest manner possible, and it is the fondest wish of every member of the profession to play some day in an opera when it will be necessary to eat soup and lamb chops and drink four bottles of brandy.

Lady Lobby1sts in Washington.


 Several new lady lobbyists have made their appearance about the capitol this winter, and, although the old veterans complain of dull times and dry pickings, che raw recruits ap- pear to be doing 8 thrifty business. The fe- ! male adventuresses who haunt the galleries Hobbies, and waiting rooms day after day are queer lot. Strange as it may seem, " said gray-haired observer of long experience, in discussing this phase of life in Washington, "a considerable proportion of the female lobbyists are honest women. You know what I mean, women who not make vulgar com merce of their charms but by far the largest portion are loose characters. One of the most successful and notorious lobbyists ever saw was a beautiful brunette from the South. who made Washington headquart ters for sev- eral winters So far as anybody about Wash ington ever knew she was pure as an icicle hanging from the temple of Diana, and nearly as cold. She had Senators and Congressmen grave diplomats by the dozen in her train and she led them pretty race. She was a mistress of her art. '' Chastityy is golden: !" she once told me, (" were to forget myself once my usefulness would be gone. One false stepSmeans ruin. No woman, however prudent. can afford to deviate from the straight path The evil tongue of gossip is certain to blast her good name-absol utely certain. Women may imagine they are con ducting their intrigues with extraordinary prudence, but where they are known at all somebody will learn of their mistakes, and then they might as well make public adver- tlsement of their wrecked lives Nobody can say ill of me except to testify that they think take money to lobby for or against bills in congress. That is not enough to bar me from good society, and therelies the secret of what ever power I may have. do not know what became of this woman. She disappeared as she came, suddenly, and without warning, and without leaving trace, and have not heard of her or seen her for eight or ten years.
 Very few of the women who call them selves lobbyists amount to much in that line It IS the women who are seldom seen in or about the capitol who have influence enough over votes to make their purchases an object. Men interested in lubricating or clogging legislation are seldom foolish enough to in vest money in brazen professionals. If they are really in need of just few more votes, they sometimes ascertain who are the mist resses of certain statesmen of influence and buy them up, 8 trick that is by no means difficult of performance. These women gen. erally live quiet and retired lives letting their identity and commercial voting value be known only to limited few There are men and women who are mean enough to trade on their knowledge of the liasons of Congressman, and there are Congressman weak enough to be governed by their fears of exposure in the disposition of their votes There are Congressman, and not few of them either, whose lives are perfect hells on that account, and all for the lack of nerve to defy and scorn the blackmaiIers into whose clutches thev hava falIaD

Impressions of Gambetta.

lFrom Paris Letter to the Pail Mall GazetteI
 On the whole, the prevailing impression I received of Gambetta continued always to be that of massive and genial human strength and good sense. Once or twice, indeed, even in private, have seen the mass take fire and launch itself against an opponent, and then the effect was electrifying. At a convivial gathering some one proposed the toast of ''The Universal Republic" Gambetta Ieaped to his feet to denounce it: ''Let us in the name of common sense make safe our own republic first" !" he cried, i" and leave other nations to govern themselves as they like best.' And on this text, which revealed the gulf separating him from the dOct7i7.aire Republicans of other days, he dilated for some time with overwhelming authority and fire. Nothing was more remarkable in him than his power of thus investing with imag- inatiEe fervor the dictates of practical pru- dence and cancellation. But his oratorical displays were usually reserved for formal occasion. In the tribune of the National Assembly at Versailles the effects he produced were such, suppose all who ever witnessed them would agree, as we are never likely to behold again. As an orator he seemed to me, when heard him in those days, to unite in 8 superlative degree the two qualities of weight and splendor. As soon as he began to speak his voice cleared itself and rang like trumpet. It's tones were as sympathetic and various as they were resounding. He could

His looks and actions were full of command and it was thrilling sight to see him stand there like mountain while the sea of hostile deputies fumed below. With toss of his great head and mane and tre. mendous gesture, he would hurl back taunt after taunt into the arena till his enemies covered and shrank into silence. But al- though impetuosity and conviction, combined with natural force and acquired art, endowed him with this magnificent power of denun- ciatory eloqueHce; nevertheless, his most effeetual strength as leader, as it seemed to me, lay not in the cumulative, but rather in the peaceable and generous, clements of his character. He indeed excited inevitable ran COTS, but as far as could ever perceive he cherished none. He was the doughtiest of fighters, but singularly little. should say, of a hater.
