There are odd scenes which have
nothing to do with fashion, except to
show how unknown thing it is to many
people who have yet sufficient wealth to
obtain an introduction to its domains
and follow up the acquaintance. The
other morning couple were seated on a
Broadway piazza. The lady was cos
tuned in an exquisitely made silk dress,
trimmed with fine lace. A dainty hat
and white parasol with deep lace border
completed her toilet. Her hands were
conspicuous for the number Of rings that
flashed and glittered on the fingers that
were left exposed by fine lace mitis.
The gentleman wore ordinary clothes Of
the ready y-made quality; his shoes were
dusty and his hands dingy and un-
pleasant to contemplate. II was evident
by their conversation that they were
husband and wife. Tho lady was dis.

Two Young Ladies and a picnic

briskly her pretty little chin vibrates
Listen:
Are yen going to the picnic to-
morrow y she asks.
Il haven't decided yet" replies the
young lady in the red jersey.
Then the young lady in the red Jersey
looks of into the distance. She does
not wish to talk Of picnics.
But the young lady in the figured
polonaise can talk nothing else.
Why is it that the Young lady in the
figured polonaise can talk of nothing else
but the picnic!
Because the young lady in tue figured
polonaise has just been invited by her
young man.
Bat why has the young lady in the
red ersey not decided whether to 60 to
tho picnic or not.
Because the young lady in the red
Jersey has received no invitation from
her yonpg lnan.

Instantly.
Does the young lady in the figured
polonaise know why the young lady in
in the red jersey has not yet decided
whether to go TO the picnic or not,
Perfectly well. That is the reason
why the young lady in the figured
polonaisc finds so much pleasure in
dwelling on the picnic; and the young
lady in the red Jersey understands the
happiness Of the young lady in the
figured polonaise. Which is why she
she longs to talk Of something else.

Gen. Butler a Prison Reformer.

A Boston telegram says: The state ex-
ecutive council at a meeting that eX-
tended into the evening, passed an order
revoking the commission of Warden
Earle of the Concord State prison, and a
special messenger with the dismissal
certificate has left the city to serve them
on Earle. 1t seems that the governor
recently instructed the warden to gather
the prisoners in chapel and inform them
that they would be permitted to send a
sealed communication to the governor.
The convicts received the notification
with cheers for Butler and groans for
the Warden. Already over seventy
letters have been sent to the governor.
The joint Judiciary committee is consid
ering bill currently reported framed
by the governor, giving him power to
investigate the conduct of all executive
officers except legislative officers, and to
inquire into the condition and manage
ment of any state institution and re-
move and appoint successors. 1t is
probable that Col. Coveney, secretary of
the Democratic State central committee.
will succeed Earle. This action of the
governor is said, by those in position to
know, to be primary move against the
system of contract labor in the state
prison, plank denouncing which was
adopted by the last Democratic State
convention. The letters of prisoners
show utter disregard for and lack of con-
idence in the warden by all the con-
yicts
