A Dispute Settled.
[From the New YORK Star


The other night party of legislators
arose from the green-covered table with
empty pockets and craving stomachs.
1t was too late to get anything to eat at
their respective hotels, SO the yadiourned-
to we'll known restaurant and enioyed
hearty repast.
''How are you going to liquidate?"
asked one of the party, picking his teeth
refectively.
F'Ihat's what I've been thinking of, -
said another, who halls from the land of
bards, saints and statesmen, sand I want
you to stand by me in what I'm gong
to do.''
The waiter was rung for and to him
the Celt explained thus:
''Boss, we got into little difficulty
here. Each one of us insists on paying
the bill and, as we are all pretty flush,
neither one will give way. Now, then,
to settle it, propose that we blindfold
you, and that the first man you catch
pays the score. It will be worth couple
Of dollars to you"
The darkey grinningly consented;
they blindfolded him with his own
apron, and he started with outstretched
hands to capture his man. After tumb-
ling over everything in the room and
sustaining several brui es he removed the
blindfold and found himself the only &C.
cupant of the room The festive feasters
had slid out as soon as the apron had
been tied on.
1t will not take away any from the
joke to say that the bill was settled and
an explanation given the next morning.

PALE rose pink, in the old shade
known in Sevres china as Du Barry rose,
is a new color. Coquelicot is a new
shade of red, near the color of poppy
red. Ox-biood red is taken from Japa-
nese potteries, and is a dark color,
bright, but deeper than cardinal. Cherry
red and the brilliant hunting red used in
the outfit of English sportsmen are new
colors. Blush shades of water green,
deep forest shades of myrtle-green, and
the pale tints of pistachionuts and the
blueish tints of Nile green will be
used in millinery. New shades of blue
range from pale sky-blue to deep azure,
pure tints of cornhower and sapphire
blue. Greenish turquoise blue and
variety of tints and hues ranging on the
oreenish- blue order will be used.

Ben. Buffers Nerve.

[''Carp" in the Cleveland Leader.l
Speaking of duels reminds me that
Ben Butler is descended In part from the
old Cilley stock, and was hence related
to Jonathan Cilley who fell In the noted
Graves Cilley duel. Butler would have
made duelist himself had he been born
IN state and at time when the code of
honor held good. But bean-eating Mas
sachusetts never fights duels and Butler
nerve has had to expand in other ways.
A notable instance of this occurred In
1856, when Ben Butler was q young
practitioner at Lowell. The Buchanan
campaign was In full progress, and a
great meeting was being held in the
largest hall of the city. Rufus Choate,
the great lawyer, was addressing the
meeting and his eloquence had thrown
them into the widest enthusiasm, when
a jar was felt and a crash was heard. The
cry went forth: "The floor is sinking"
Everybody turned pale and the audi
ence rose for o stampede, when Ben But
Ter came to the front of the platform be-
side Mr.. Choate, and calling the audi
ence to halt, said there was no danger;
that the architect of the building was
present and that he would go with him
and examine the building and report to
allay their fears. This quieted the au-
dience. Butler said the architect made
an immediate examination of the hall
andfound the danger very great. But
Ter very smilingly assured the audience
there was no present danger, but as the
hall was over crowded he advised them
to quietly adjourn to the Public Square
and there Mr.. Choate would finish his
speech. The crowd went quietly out
and catastrophe was averted. AS Butler
stepped on the platform he had whis-
pered to Mr.. Choate with half laugh,
in order to deceive the audience. This
is what he said: F'Mr. Choate, / must
clear this house or we shall all be IN hell
in five minutes.

AMERICAN JUSTICE.

In an editorial in the April Century it
is stated that in 1882 nearly 1900 muir
ders were committed in the United
States, and in 1888 about 1900. ur-
ing the past year only ninety-three muir
derers were executed, some of whom
held over from 1882. The alarming
disproportion between the number OF
murders and the number of executions
is having significant effect upon the
public mind, which oriminally disposed
persons will do wisely to heed.

RUSSIAN RULE.

Dispatches from st. Petersburg rep.
resent that the Mervi are pleased with
their condition under Russian masters.
This should be taken, probably, as very
strong confirmation of the opinion held
by English, as well as German and
French statesmen, that Russia, by incor-
porating Merv into the empire, has
made a tremendous stride toward Cen
traI Asia. The ambition of Russia
runs still to territorial absorption. It

A NOVEL and interesting entertainment

A NOVEL and interesting entertainment
took place in London the other night.
A number of deaf mutes belonging to
the Hackney Mission to the Deaf and
Dumb gave dramatic performance.
The pieces selected were "The School
for Scandal" and 'FThe Sorrows of Mr..
Shocks. The characters in both of
these plays were represented exclusively
by deaf mutes, and the audience was
largely composed of the same class of
people. The performance, which was
IN the sign language, gave great delight
to the audience of deaf mutes.
