Mrs. Eangtry's Stockings.
rN.-~ V2-L Ga

l was making some purchases Thursday
afternoon at q Broadway store when my eyes
fell upop the divine Lille Langtry at the
hosiery counter. She was in search of box
of black hose. and in considerable doubt as
to the proper size. IF you will permit nae
to hold the foot of the stocking to your
closed hand can judge if the size is right"
suggested the dapper clerk. The Lily
glanced at him searchingly TO see if he
was IN earnest. and then, with all the coy
ness of a schoolgirl, she drew her hand
from a cosuettish little pocket in the side of
her wrap, and extended it hesitstingly with
a culver in the fingers. let it drop suddenly
at last into the clerks outstretched palm.
sHer hand is certainly large, but it is plump
and pink and pretty, and the grace with
which il was extended was worthy OF Mod
jeska. You can't think of rose leaves while
looking at the fair digit but II will suggest
pink sea shells and round balls OF golden
butter lying to cool in the clover that has
grown up around the well-curb. I was I'M
gallant enough to glance on the box for the
size of the hosiery, and the figures were
"91%."

IT would seem by reports that considera-
bic portion of the State of Michigan, at the
depth OF about ], 800 feet, is supplied with a
bed of pure rock salt. The deposit of salt
has been penetrated to the depth of lis feet
without any indications OF being near the
bottom of it. The discovery was made in
the vicinity of Marine City, on the ST. Clair
River. The extent of the deposit is not
known, but it is believed to be large. A few
square miles of solid salt, say 200 feet thick,
will be sufficient to supply the world for sew
eral years; and with such great abundance,
the salt industry ought not to be ranked with
the infants.

After Gresham.

The New York Times, the leading Repub-

new Postmaster General.
On May Postmaster General Gresham adver-
tised for bids from all firms that desired the c0u

Printer who is at the head of the Government
Printing House in Washington. The lowest bid for
blanks was submitted by a firm in Philadelphia
and the lowest bid for blank books by WynkOOp &
Hallenbeck, of this city. The contracts were
therefore awarded 10 these firms, and awards were
announced 10 them on the Sth inst. These firms
had spent money in preparing proposals which
contained nearly 800 items and in other ways.
They were proud of their success. and they sent
their thanks TO the Department. They were then
unscquainted with the Departmentsmethodsi in
such cases.

As THE mail brings papers from various
sections of the country we find the same lie
in all of them concerning Messrs Hendricks
and Mcdonald at the Bates House banquet,
viz: THAT they turned their backs and did
not speak, otherwise discourteously treated
each other" etc. We have branded this as a
lie several times and now repeat it once
again. 1t is deliberate, malicious lie, made
up the night of the banquet by batch of
young Republican correspondents for papers
in New York, Cincinnati, Chicago and other
cities. The straDgest part of the matter lies
in the fact that such papers as the New York
Sun, Herald and Times believed it and
treated il seriously in their editorial columns.

WHEN new moon makes its appearance
farmers, as they meet, are in the habit of
asking each other, "See the new moon? Is
It wet or dry" Something of the sort takes
place when one of Henri Wstterson's inter
views makes its appearance. Men read and
laugh. One asks, wet or dry?n and they
laugh and criticise. When Henri is wet he
is certain to fash like a FREELY or a glow
worm; when dry he pitches into revenue for
tariff only. Those who know Henri prefer
him when he is wet.

dianapolis that Mr.. Mcdonald and Mr.. Hendricks,
being, by some aWkwaIdness of a master of csre-

failed to recognize each other.-New York Herald.
All of which is false. They did recognize
each other and talked together. The Herald
should be sure of its information before it
ventures to pronounce opinions. This all
sprung from lot of "swash' which ap-
peared in the Indianapolis Journal the other
