A Prize Beauty in Court.

Louise Montague, Forepaugh's ex-
beauty, sat nearly all day in Judge
Ludlow's court waiting for the trial Of
suit against the circus manager to re-
cover the $4,000 prize to come on for
trial. She was dressed richly, taste
fully, and fashionably. Over skirt of
black silk, deliberately trimmed, she
wore dark blue jersey, tight almost
to the point of bursting. She had about
her neck narrow ribbon of some
shaggy stuff in silk that was tied in a
large bow and ended in large tassels.
Big solitaire diamonds sparkled in her
pink-and.white ears. Her hair was
combed plainly in front and drawn up
in two knots in the back, which were
held in place by silver skewer with a
round gilt top. Her hat was like a
big flat shell, covered with brown vel
vet and garnished with beads and long
ostrich plumes. 1t was worn far up
from the forehead. A shadowy veil,
dotted with tiny beads, depended from
the hats brim and reached just TO the tip
of her dainty nose. The red and white
of her complexion seen through this
covering was not SO quite pronounced
as when looked at under it. A seal
skin ulster-value, as estimated, $3.50
was thrown across her lap. The toe
of tiny kid boot now and then peeped
from under part of it that trailed on
the floor. The spectacle was full OF
fascination, for half score of country
witnesses in suit about a Roxborough
barn that had a place before the beau
TVS suit. But the beauty seemed no
more sensible of their admiration than
if she was wooden woman. The suit
dragged so that it took up all the SEES
sion and the beauty found herself left.
Under the rules of the court her case
went over till next term. PhilddelpA

Ducking a Bloodhound.

AS the boat was loading cotton-meal
at Natchez, we saw q big bloodhound
come down the street, walk around the
Wharf-beat aud stretch out in the sun
for q nap. The talk at once turned
upon dogs, and then upon this one in
particular.
THAT dog said one of the passen-
gers, '.wouid no doubt kill any man
whom he attacked"
This WIS followed by various yarns
in regard TO the strength and ferocity
of bloodhounds, and then another pas
senger put in:
'I'l give any man dozen good
cigars who will 90 out there and wake
that dog up and pat him on the head. !"
IA dozen cigar echoed another,
why, man, We 60 out there
and rouse him up ;, $40 bill"
''Humph!' sncerc,! u man who sat
with his feet on the rail a little ways
of, and who had come aboard as we
landed.
Maybe you want TO wake up that
dog" holly remarked the $40 man.
Il think could"
"You do, eh?"
III pet you $2O dare fling him
into the river''
''Done! Done quicker than creased
lightning!' shouted the other, as he
felt for his cash, and in aminutc or two
the money was up.
''Now, then. "ou are to walk down
there, seize hi tho collar and fling
him into the -
''Exacty!'
And he walked. Without betraying
the least hesitation, he went down the
plank, marched up to the dog, and
taking him by the collar. drew him to
the edge and dumped him off. The
dog made no resistance, and speedily
swan around to the bank and trotted
off up the street.
We all felt completely ilattened out,
and after the stakes were given up and
the winner had disappeared, 1 went
over to the pilot. whose face wore q
broad grin, and asked:
did you sec it?''

Heaps of it; but if you had owned
him for five years, and had played this
same game fifty times on greenhorns,

The Way OF the World.

There safe q crow on a lofty tree,
Watching the world go by:
He saw thrOng that swept along
With laughter loud and high.
"1n and out through tho motley rout"
Pale ghosts stole on unseen.
Their hearts were longing for one sweet
word
/. OF the love that once had been,-
But never a lip there spoke their names,
Never 4 tear was shed;
The crow looked down from his lofty tree,
IT'S the way OF the world" he said.
A singer stood in the market place,
Singing tender lay,
But no one needed his sorrowful face,
No one had time to stay.
He turned away; he sang no more;
How could he sing in vain?
And then the world came to his door,
: Bidding him sing again,
But ne rocked not whether they came or
went,

There safe Queen by cottage bed,
Spake to the widow there;
Did she not know the same hard blow

And she Kissed that humble PEASANTS brow.
And then she bent her knee:

Only A Dog!

It was not an hour after dawn, yet
the waiting room of the great Central
Station was full. 1t was always full.
Outside, each minute of the day, trains
came and went. to Canada, to New
England, to the South, to the great
West.
The thronging crowd gathered there
now were of every variety of race and
condition, and their pursuits were as
various. Here were q group of young
fellows, laughing and boisterous, on
their way to Harvard; there poor
family of pale, silent emigrants, going
to seek their fortunes in Dakota. A
party of delicate women and children,
wrapped in furs and attended by liv-
cried servants, were waiting for the
train which would take them to Flori-
da. On this bench sat bonanza king,
who was on his way back to his gold
mines in California, and on that half q
dozen sturdy Norwegians and black
eyed Spaniards, who had just landed
from an ocean steamer, each with his
whole possessions tied in handker-
chief, and in his hat his ticket marked
Denver, Colorado.
Each man was only intent on him.
self and his own business. In spite of
the crowd there was marked quiet.
We Americans are silent people. The
soft morning air blew freshly through
the long lines of cars and putting en-
gines; a faint hum came from without.
It was the great city awakening for the
day.

Misplaced Sympathy.

Among the families who excited
much interest at the baby show last
week, says the Detroit Free Press, was
one which consisted of deaf and dumb
a.her and mother, and very fine ba-
by. The ladies were all pleased with
the baby, and much interested in the
little mother, who smiled and watched
her offspring with the keenest solicit
1ude. Some of the questions asked
We're very amusing, but an aunt of tho
baby acted as interpreter.
At time when the museum was
quite full, some ladies passed in front
Of the group and studied them care
fully. A young man was writing on
slips of paper and passing them to the
little mother; he also talked to her in
the sign language.
"Poor fellow!' explained one visitor;
she's her husband. Now you would
never know to look at her that she was
leaf and dumb; but you can see the at
Fiction in his face
"How SOP" asked another lady,
studying the mobile features of the un-
conscious young man.
''Why, look at his mouth! See how
dumb he looks. y
II have often thought" remarked
another, "that if people would convey
their thoughts through the lips, tho
dumb would be able to answer and ex-
plain their thoughts much easier than
by tho sign method.
ooh, that is an old plan" said the
first speaker; "the labial language is
we'll understood by them; watch me-
now" and she turned upon the young
man, who was caressing the baby, and
looked him steadily in the face, at the
same time slowly articulating and
touching her lips.
'D-o You enthusiastically
Perfectly" replied the man. "You
needn't shout. / can hear distinctly"
who are your gasped the woman.
'One of the managers; can use the
sign language if you prefer it; l learned
it some years ago"
At that moment the real hus band
and father of the pretty baby came up
and the interested ladies made q speedy
exit

Couldn't Omit the Kiss.

Yes, she was very pretty and verv
charming, and was the saucy possessor
| of one of the most kissable little
mouths that REtn ever set eyes on.
There was no doubt at all about that.
She liked to kiss and be kissed too. At
least she demonstrated the fact to the
perfect satisfaction of q car full of peo-
pie. 1t all happened in just the easiest
yay possible. She and her young lady
companion took seat in the forward
part OF car on q train that stood in
one of the railroad stations of the Hub.
The train happened to be the express,
which runs ten miles out of tho city be-
fore stopping; but of this, the young
lady was charminely ignorant. She
laughed and chatted and chatted and
laughed with her companions as if
there were no such things as express
trains, or, Mt least, that they would
stop at her own sweet will. The warm
ing bell struck, the engine backed into
the depot, the man with the signs
shouted his mOnotonous .sAll aboardr'
and the train was of. The conductor
quickly put in an appearance, and was
presented with ticket for town
about mile out of the city.
I'VE don't stop there. miss; don't
stop till we get to b. Express, you
see. You'll have to get off at tho NO
Nothing station just this side of L.
(the place at which she wished to stop).
that's the best l can do for you" and off
he went. At first, there were threats of
a slight April shower, but by the time
the 'No-Nothing" was reached, the
clouds had vanished and the sky was
clear. Only an instant's stop is ever
made at this station; but the young
lady with the kissable mouth seemed
to be in most blissful ignorance of this
fact. 10 be sure, she started off all
right TO alight in good time, but, when
| she reached the door she turned quick
ly, retraced her steps, and in the most
naive manner Imaginable, and, as if
the whole world was at her disposal,
threw her arm around about her COM
panion's neck and bestowed upon her
two crispy little good-by smacks. Then
she tripped through the door, and the
train started. The April showers came
and likewise the conductor. He was
a chivalrOus man, and she a pretty
woman in tears. If she had been home
", the result would undoubtedly have
been different, but as it was, the bell
rope was rcsOrtcd to, and the train
brought to a standstill. Profuse in her
thanks, she alighted, and then as she
started, womanlike, she turned and
threw kiss at her friend, whose anx-
ious face peered at her from the car
window.
YES" said the igure-fend, who
has not a grain of sentiment in him,
''but I'll wager a fo'pence she never
thought how much that kiss cost. just
see here. These cars will seat sixty
people apiece; there arc ten of them.
and they are all full. That makes GOO
people. We were delayed one minute.
You see that makes 600 minutes, or
ten hours--a whole working day.
Reckon it up as you arc mind to.
there was money in it. Thunderation!
All for kiss, too!' and the ficnd set
tied back in disgust.
