In consequence of An article which
appeared in the CHiEP . couple oil
weeks ago having brought trouble
upon an innocent party, it becomes
necessary TO refer to the matter again,
and that the general reader may fully
understand the matter A. it is We re.
produce the article referred to:
I'VE have on several occasions call.
cd attention 70 the inconvenience 10
our citisens arising from the location
OF the express and telegraph Offices 90
far from town. We can nee no good
reason Why the express Office, 1t least,
should not be located in the town
The long distance from town TO the ex.
press Office, coupled with the extrem.
ly accommodating disposition OF
those having it in charge, 10 . hard.
snip to the people of Red Cloud thai
SHOULD be rensedied - soon - posi-.
ble."
The circumstances which called
forth the above were. briefly, ~ fol.
lows: A citizen of Red Bloud had &C.
cssiOn to visit the express Office and
found the door looked and was refused
admittance or attention BY the party
in charge at the time. and after wait
ing what seemed an unreasonable
length of time wa forced to return C
town without having transacted the
business in hand. On receipt Of q
copy Of the CHIEF containing the ar.
ticle above, Nj. Hancock, Of Council
Bluff, general superintendent Of Wells
Fargo 4 Co.'S Express, sent Mr.. Potter,
. special agent, TO Red Cloud 70 inves-
tigate the matter, and it VA discover
ed thu Mr.. Durrie, the company's ag'i
At Mis- place was not in the office q,
tie time the citizen was snubbed, bu,
that the Office va temporarily in
the charge Of another party who
claims that he was taking . bath and
could not open up the Office. In jus.
tice to Mr.. r. A. Durrie, the agent,
We take pleasure in sssing that he is
. courteous and accommodating OF.
cial, and that We have found upon in
vestigs6On that he Was not 70 blame
in the matter, aud any reflection tina,
the article in question may have cast
upon him rs - an officer Of the CON-
pany and servant Of the public are
entirely unjust. We are thus explicit
IN oader that he may appear in . prop
or light before his employers and the
people Of this community.
Now. . few words - the Express Co.
We presume that the object Of having

New YORK Interview Win One.
"what is dude?"
gentleman. A cad can never be dude. He
must not be in trade, but must have money.
dare say there are dudes who have very little
money, but then they have blood, yknow.
But the point of the thing Is the embodiment
-er-of the-ah-trlumph of the gentleman
over the cad. You take what was once known
as swell, or fop, or dandy, and 1t was
never absolutely necessary for him TO be a
gentleman. The pet, particular god of swell
dom was Beau Brummel. don't chew know,
and yet he was not q gentleman according ID
our English acceptation of the term. Still, he
snubbed the Prince OF Wales"
would he not haYe been quite az e1fs:.iye
as dude?
"By no MEANS" said the youth hastily.
"Don't chew see? He was gorgeous and over
dressed, while we-er-that Is, the dude--is
the acme OF propriety and good taste. He wore
loud coIors, padded shoulders, corsets, wigs,
snuff-box, and unlimited jewelry, while tho
dude wears no 1ewelry other than a ring, and
invariably dresses in dark aud quiet colors."
SIS there any fun In being dude ?"
ITO the yulgaw dude Is not impressive.
The gorgeous swell took the eye. The women
worshiped him for the richness OF his dress
and the waitahs in the eating houses were
overpowered; but the dude Is essentially
negative. He is not spectacle; he is a quiet,
selfcontained gentleman. He is refined, and
he ia distinguished from common people by
his manners. In England we have landed
aristocracyi in America the aristocrats are
popularity known as dudes, y'know. fellah

Strand or In Pell Nell Is known simply as an
English gentleman; but when he appears in
the same attire on Fifth av'noo he at once bs-

Major Calkins is in town human, hand
some and not the least particle out of shape
for his recent railroad accident near Pitts
burg. The Major says that he could have
saved his clothes and .iewelry but for the
fact that he was engaged in saving other
people and hadn't time to look out for that
individual which the British Government
has made mysterious as No. 1. The last
party in the burning train to whom
Major Calkins proved q savior was
General Dudley, our Commissioner of PEN
sions. The latter being handicapped by
tho loss of a leg in the Army during the
war, was really in dangerous situation
when Calkins gallantly rescued him from
the flames, The railroad company have in
formed the passengers, who lost time,
clothes and jewelry by the accident, that it
will reimburse them in full.

Tea-Drunkards.

The term 'tea.drunkard" is known through.
out Russia, and implies, not the abuse of
that the cup which cheers intoxieates also, n
zealously adhesed to. Strong tea Is well,
known 10 be powerful though heetIng exclt-
likes 10 make the experiment, let him drink a
dozen or fifteen cups OF tea In Russian style
that ie, without cream or sugar, but favored
with drop of lemonjuice-in the space OF a
couple Of hours, and he may arrive at the con-
clusion that there is something rational about
such an epithet as tea-drunkard after all.

rowed 81, ,12S from T. Fl. Corbett, formerly
trustee of the Lee-avenue Baptist Church,
Brooklyn, wherewith to support his family
until such time as he should begin to draw
his salary. As he found too much use for
his money while here he failed to reim-
burse Mr.. Corbett, who brought suit against
the reverend x-Congressman. During the
suit Mr.. Corbett gave out the following let

The PhiIadelphia :. Times"

Tho Times processes to be an independent
journal. One OF the first and most essential
elements Of true Independence in a journalist
would be his willingness TO correct a wrong
done TO either public man or private cltl-
zen when the fact that he had done the wrong
should be made clearly apparent 10 him. This
is one OF the elements OF Independence, how.
ever, that the Times does not possess, and
lacking II, merits the contempt OF all honest
rnan.

WE don't know whether he was Froude

malicious story that the son Of Senator
Fair had tried to kill his father. Nothing
of the kind had happened or could have
happened as described, as the Senator was
in San Francisco and the boy was not in
the city. Were it not for the malice be-
hind the story we would ascribe it to a
Munchausen or Gulliver of the press
rather than Froude or Macaulay.

TIE story comes from New York that
Ex-senator Conkling attended Barnum's
circus the other night when Mr.. Hutchin-
son, the manager, invited him to go into
Mr.. Barnums box, wherein Secretary Fol-
ger and Assistant Treasurer Acton had
already gone by invitation. The ex-Sena.
tor accepted the invitation and was on his
way to the box when he thought he recog-
nized Secretary Folger in the box also.
Turning to Mr.. Hutchinson, he remarked,
laying his hand on his shoulder, isn't
that Secretary Folger there ?" "Yos,' said
Mr.. Hutchinson, somewhat surprised at
the suddenness of Mr.. Conklings question.
''Well," said Mr.. Conkling, "I'll have to
ask you to excuse me. ! see have some
friends in box No. 80, and l guess l will
join them" And he did.

One of General Sherman's aids, who has
every opportunity to know the facts,
and who has long string in which he ties
knot every time it occurs, counted the
knots the other day, and thus learned that
during the last year General Sherman has
kissed 1887 pretty girls, beside n few little
girls Dot counted, but whom he has kissed
just to keep his hand-we mean his mouth
in. The same veracious observer reports
that during the last five years 167 of the
Generals aids died of sheer envy, Al slob-
bered on their dickeys and 81 tainted clear
away and only recovered to remain in n
condition of confirmed and hopeless lunacy,
and, worst of all, committed suicide by
hanging themselves with their suspenders
Congress need not lcgislate to get rid of
superfuous officers in the army. Make all
the superfluous boys aids ON the staff of the
General of our Army, send the latter out
on a kissing tour, have the proper officer
send along a supply of cotiins and the
superAuity will be removed with neatness
and dispatch. The Generali is ready-aye,
ready, often and ever!

THE CRITIC ABROAD,

Young Allan Arthur, who is Keeping
house" in the absence of the President, IS
having high old time entertaining his
Princeton College friends. Alien, being
now the temporary ruler, so to speak,
takes advantage of his opportunities and
orders up" the wine and liquors from the
cellar Just like the "old man." While the
President and his friends are having n
good time, Allan and his companions arc
Just fairly swimming in luxury. The latter
make every hour an hour of absolute
pleasure. Some Of Allan's friends have
gone to their homes, but several remain
with him, and it is safe to say, judging
from the empty wine bottles to be seen
around the White House, that they all get
up mornings triile troubled with "rheu-
matism in the hair" In fact the boys have
actually converted the Executive Mansion
into a clubhouse.

"This wicked and adulterous generation
desireth sign, but there shall be no sign
given 1t but that OF Jonas, the prophet"
However true those words were at the
time they were spoken, they are not true
now. This wicked" &c, generation has
had sign given it, and it hangs on one of
the doors of the City Hall, and reads as
follows; "Orphan's Court. Register of
Wills" The poet has said "a thing of
beauty is joy forever" and perhaps more
so for it is not to be presumed that one
man, even though he may be poet knows
all about it. Some one else has said that the
shortest line between any two given points
is straight line;" while still another
aesthetic soul has muttered forth the as
founding statement that "tho curved line
is the line of beauty" Accepting these
maxims as the frozen truth, we are COM
PEELED to admit that the sign above men
toned will remain q joy forever to the
people of this District; something that
they can be proud of and something which
they can show to visitors as an evidence of
gigantic progress of high art in our midst.
They can point out many lines of beauty on
that sign, and demonstrate that there are
many straight lines, and many given points
on that sign. The perpetrator, or discoverer,
or founder of that sign, deserves we'll of his
country for the skill and economy he dis
played in painting that sign. 1t is not
only beautiful, but it is actually grand in
its severe simplicity. There is not waste
splotch Of paint on the whole board, nor
is there any meretricious or gingerbread
ornamentation on its whole surface. There
is wibblety -wobbletyness about the letters
that makes the sign unparalleled in pic
turesqueness and the eye finds relief in
resting upon its mazy and convoluted
characters. Orphans will rejoice when
they see, and men will make wills for the
sole purpose Of having them toted under
that sign. Shoot that sign Hang the
| painter!
The Evening critic., 1883-04-18

Painters, like printers, sometimes make
very annoying mistakes. As an instance
Of this, few days ago the United States
District Attorney for the District
of Columbia gave to painter
sign to paint to direct those who
might have business with him to his office.
The painter painted the sign and it now
hangs in tho south front entrance to the
new court-rooms But as the sim reads it
directs people to the Office of an official that
is unknown to the law. The following is
the full text of the sign:
"Ofice Of the Attorney of the United
States, up stairs
This sign naturally attracts the attention
of lawyers and all others. 1t is in gilt
frame and placed in a position where every
one who passes into that part of the build
ing is bound to see it, The Critic, for the
information of those who are at loss to
understand its meaning, will say that it is
new office created by Brewster, Attor-
General and that his sole duties con-
sist in seeing to it that the recent order to
uniform the officers of the Marshal's office
be enforced to the letter. 1t has no ref
creDce to the District-Attorney' office of
the District of Columbia. This fact is evil
dent for the reason that the United States
do not reside up stairs.
