A French paper says that for every
100000 population in London there
are only 125,000 INDECENT persons,
whereas, out of the same number of
inhabitants in Paris, there are Isl, 600
helpless poor. Paris misery is station
ary, while London misery has been
reduced in thirty years from 6 to 3
per cent. Moreover, in addition to
the acknowledged paupers, there are
in Paris 250000 persons, male and
female, roughly classified as black
guards, who have no visible means of
obtaining livelihood.

Lily Langtry's Luxuriousness.
ork Letter to Springfield Republican.

That Mrs. Langtry has a soft and luxury
craving nature is made PLAIN by everything that
surrounds her, both off and on the stage. That
she also has a keen eye for the beautiful wher-
ever found is proved by her purchase of draper
les. She has the lavish but refined tastes of a
woman gently born and bred, and not those of
an actress who has suddenly sprung into rich
success, and who spends vulgarly in the attempt
to be splendid. Mrs. Langtry's manners toward
the members of her company, and all the hum
bier attaches of the profession to which she has
allied herself, are declared affable and charming,
and, with the true instinct of the woman of soci-
ETY., she takes pains to make herself agreeable to
every one with whom she comes in contact. She
is far more sincerely admired behind the curtain
than before it, and if you have any doubt as to
her claim to greatness, consult the stage-door
keeper or the call boy-who have none.

Ben. Buffers Nerve.
Washington Letter.


Bean eating Massachusetts never fights duels,
and Buffers nerve has had to be expended in
other ways. A notable instance of this occurred
in 1856, when Ben Butler was a young praeti
toner 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" Every one turned pale
and the audience rose for a stampede, when
Ben Butler came to the front of the plat.
form beside Mr.. Choate, and call
ing the audience to a halt, said there was
no danger; that the architect of the building was
present, and that he would go with him and ex-
anime the building, and report, to allay their
fears, This quoted the audience. Butler and
the architect made an immediate examination of
the hall, and found the danger very great. But
Ter at once returned and smiliEgly assured the
audience there was no danger, but as the hall
was overerowded he advised them to quietly adj
iourn to the Public Square, and there Mr..
Choate would finish his speech. The crow went
quietly out and the catastrophe was averted. As
Butler stepped ON the platform he had whispered
to Nh. Choate with a half laugh, in order to de
ceive the audience. This is what he said: Mr..
Choate, l must clear this house or we shall all be
in hell in five minutes

HAMPTON IN A TIGHT PLACE.


Yankee Lines.
Augusta Chronicle.
A middle-aged man approached General Hamp-
ton the other day and asked his influence in
pressing a claim before the military committee
of the Senate. The stranger then said. Gen

recognize me, but you personally made a prisoner

Hampton found out that it was a fact. and re
called the circumstance He was accommodating
one night, and missed his way. Around him
burned many more camp-tires than he had left
behind him. Entering Il house, he discovered
that he had strayed into the enemys lines. 4
few soldiers were seated at a table, and abruptly
addressing them as if a superior officer Of their
own army, he asked who they were and
what they were doing there. One
man spoke up and replied: " belong to the

of his nerve and address would be required to
extrlcate himself from this dangerous position.
He reached for his pistol, held it along his thigh.
and, on leaving the house, commanded the man
who had spoken to him to follow. He did so.
Hampton mounted his horse and called The man

your head and will shoot you if any alarm is
made The surprised soldier whispered: Don't
