look at-the 'cothes," said madame, with
superb little gesture of Indifference, at which
her guests all laughed. "Why, they sit
there and one woman says to another next
her. Look at her handkerchief it is torn

cheerfully. "Smith and Jones were in busi-
ness together, but things went from bad to
worse, till nothing remained but to shut up
shop. But Smith, who was an enterprisns
fellow, proposed to Jones to raise all the
money they could, to collar everything they
could lay their hands on and to make bolt"

gaspad Mr.. Want.

resumed Mr.. Gimb!et. ale suggested in.

Edouard EteInenyi in Washing: ION.


Remenyi, the violinist, is here during the

ton was given in his honor at private
house. Mr Blaine was present with his wife,
and vas u most enthusiastic admrer of tho

passionate fon,,ness for music, for he kept in
his one position next to Remenyl all the even
ing, beating time lightly with his finger upon
the open palm of Lis hand as he followed the
in AMI out of the siill;ul work of Remenyis

Relnenyi affects the ardent and emotional
nature Of a genus. He quite surprised his
audience when the wife of a distinguished cd
senator came into the room just after he had
finished playing. He threw up his hands and
with a wild look Of rapture cried out 50 as to
be heard throughout TIE room: "Oh! my tear
love. an SO enraptured to see thy sweet
face once more. How my heart palpitates
with joy to gaze upon my charming sweet
love. Sit right down here where can look
into your eyes, AMI | will play for You alone
Then will have zee inspiration of the most
perfect kind"
Tie wife of the distinguished senator did
not seem to mind this exaggerated flow Of
genius and every one smiled as if it were

Six Distinguished Heads.
iSt. Louis Post Dispatch.

There are half-dozen men in the house
who attract the attention Of all lockers on
when the tariff is mentioned They are Nor
rson, Hurd and Carlisle on the one side, and
Randall, Mckinley and Kelley on the other.
Randall attracts more attention FROM the
galleries and amoag those on the floor just
now than any other man in the house. There
are men in the house who are always talking
and never heard; Mr.. Randall is heard when
ever he talks and felt often when he does
not. The usual question, when a stranger
takes his seat in the gallery, is, (which is
Randall! The next one asked for is usually
Morrison; then, as the glance waud"rs to the
minority side, he wants to see Kelley and
Mckinney.
In some respects these great tariff thinkers
are alike There is one ,,oruiarity observa-
bic in the most of them, the shape of the
head IIurd has head as rounl as bullet.
Mckn!ey's head is shaped much like Hurds.
Morrison is, too, n rouni-headei fellow,
though his head is buried in such a mussy lot
of hair that it is difficult to tell much what it is
like Morrison and Kelley are the only ones
OF the distinguished tariff sextetta who wear
whisker,. Randall, Mckinney ami Carlisle
are absolutely smooth -facel, whilo Huri

Il.
That the world of fashion is not spending
it's entire time on its knees is proven by che
last sensation in the way of amusement. If
any one else bcsi,!e Vanderbilt had given
Tony Pastor and a number of his artists an
invitation to appear for the amusement of u
number of invited guests, the world would
have raised its hanGs in holy horror. But
since a leader sets the fashion it is all right.
Tony Pastor sanctioned by tho Vanderbiits,
Birch and BackUs ratronzcd by the Astors,
there will reman nothing for the Lorillards

that they invited Mr.. Pa ,tor to repeat part

Benefit from Sea VOya.inE.

lSu'Sical Reporter
DR.. Farquhar, in The Lancet says that the
most pronounced benefit was obtained by
inost of the phtai,ical cases, but some left
the steamer before the tonic and Stimulating
action f the sea air had made Itself felt, 'un-
nerved By the har SHIPS endured in storm
experienced on leaving the Mersy. Voy-
ayers suffering from tue effects of overwork
and mental strain did well; but "sp 'cilic"
eases showed the most marvellous results,
complete recovery being the rule. Dyspep-
tics did not d, well, nor subjects of skin dis
ease of nervous origin.
To sum up, his ex. 'erlence in this voyage
led him to believe that no disease condition
where the nervous, irritable element was
present had much chance of benefit; tho sea
air stimulus was in the end too powerful
through its constancy. Such cases should
land after the tirst beneficial stimulation,
which generally occurred within tho first
three or four weeks of tho voyage.

Charlotte Cushnan's Originality.

Philadcls hla Record
Mr.. Irving says he at once felt the truth Of
what Miss Cushman sa ID, that hs has never
forgotten it, and that he has always tried as
far Us he possibly could to do a thing in what
seemed to him the most natural and lifc.ike
way. He has very pleasant recollectons Of
Miss Cushman, and looks back to her as a
very great actress He said, even then,
Young as he was lie felt that here was an
actress who thought out her part and who
never dill anything in a careless manner. 1t
may be remembered that before Miss Cush-
man played the part of Meg Merrilies that it
used TO b, played in ordinary dress. WAen
she acted it for the first time in New York,
at old Winter Garden, she arrayed herself in
the worst looking rags she could find, painted
wrinkles all over her face and arms AMI
made herself look as much like an Old witch
as it was ssible for anything human to
look. When the manager Of tho theatre
saw her lie was petl iied with horror, and in
sisted that an al Ii 4ncJ won d never accept
such a terr bic looking Old witch as that.
They had been used TO an entirely different
sort of Meg Molrli!es, and dienc!s are
great stickiers for tradition.
Miss Cushman, however, would not listen
to what he said but insisted that he should
see how her representation Of the part told
upon the audience, and il they dislikel it,
and would not listen to it, then she mi ght do
differently. She went into the little tent ON
the stage, and every one who has seen her in
that part will remember the little spot OF
moonlight that falls at the tent door, and
the way Miss Cushman, in her rags and
| aning on her broken STAFF. springs out upon
it. The effect is electrical, and it was SO
from the very first night Although the
audience had never seen such rendition of
the part, it was carried away from the mo-
ment she burst upon its view, and she held
it sppllbound, as she always di, from her
first entrance to her exit.
