Washington Correspondence Boston Tarvel-
ler:-
There are living at Washington to-
day two gentlemen who we're the com
mittee appointed by the loyal citizens
Of Washington to make arrangements
fer the first Inauguration of President
Lincoln. These two gentlemen are
Hon. z. @. Robbins and Hon-T.eHi
CIephane. When Lincoln came to
Washington these two gentlemen in
sisted that he should be inaugurated at
the Capitol, General Scott went over
TO President Buchanan and strongly
advised that the inauguration ceremo-
MES take place at Wizards Hotel. He
said that it would be positively danger
u to attempt to 60 to the Capitol, but
Buchanan said that inasmuch as Mr..
Lincoln had been elected President he
should be inaugurated with all tthie
honors and In the same manner as well
as his predecessors. Pickets were
stationed from the White House to the
Capitol, and every precaution taken to
insure safety from violence. Mr.. Rob
bins rode alongside Of Lincoln's car
rage throughout the day. He says thai
Lincoln was the bravest man he evel
saw. Every n expected that an at.
tempt would be made upon the Presi-
dents life, but all through those trying
hours he chatted galy with the gen.
tlemen nea HIM, and appeared totally
unconscious Of the presence Of danger
Later on Mr.. Robbins was appointed
Register Of Wills in the District o
Columbia, and Mr.. Clephane became
Postmaster Of Washington, both gen
tlemen serving with distinguished
ability.

Handsome Jack Hemming, alias Hol
den, sauntered slowly down the mair
street of Corpus, his wide sombrero II
his hand, his curly head barred to the
mild evening breeze that breathed
softly in from the gulf. He wore the
costume of the cattlemen, but some.

came no other. On him the blue blouse
belted at the waist, the leather breeches
and the high boots seemed the proper
dress of a gentleman.
Jack spent much of his time in Cor.
pus now, since his marriage had put
him in funds again, and there were mer
in the town who, had they chosen
could have given the cattle queen OF
Neuces some information that would
have disturbed the complacent salts.
faction with which she regarded her
handsome prince consort.
Jack, however, concerned himself
not at all about such possibilities. His
scheme of life included little beyond
enjoyment of the present, and he was
already beginning to tire of' the re-
sources Corpus offered in that direc.
ton.
As he sauntered down the street with
the sun in his eyes, he was revolving
plan for getting possession of certain
thousands belonging to the Cattle
Queen, aud as he phrased it to himself,
Lighting out for Frisco" Frisco
seemed just the place for him; he was
half sorry he had not struck out fol

way a few yards in advance and moved
toward him. The sun being in his eyes,
he did not see her very well, not even
when she paused in front of him with
a glittering something in her out
stretched hand directed at his breast,
Something about her must have
struck him as familiar, however, for he
made a step forward with an inarticu.
late cry almost simultaneously with the
red flash and the sharp report that split
the evening quiet.
He wavered a moment, turned hall
about, made a futile effort to put or
his hat. pressed his hand against his
breast, then fell slowly forward.
The woman. who stood watching him
with a face from which every particle
of blood had fled, spraGg forward viii
a loud shrek, and threw herself beside
him.
A man, it was Colonel Sharp, ran tt
her and tried to lift her up.

''thar's a crowd getherin'l Ycd mus

What With your" she exclaimed
Their crying out "Wait, Jack, Tn
coming too" she turned the muzzle tt
her own breast and fired a second shot
as sure as the first.
The colonel slowly recovered himself

off his hat and stretching out his han,
as if about to pronounce an Grafton

KING OF NEUCES COUNTY.

by appointment of the almanac, but by
the more potent authority of the fierce
"norther," that raiding wind of the
Sierras, that shrieked wildly through the
streets, battering in its loud, hectorlnS
way, at shutters and doors, as if de-
mandmg admission Ipon penalty, bully
ing and tormenting the helpless trees
as if it would at once and forever make
an end of them, catching the unresist-
ing rain in its strong clutch, whipping
it against the windows and walls, and
driving it through 1000 unsupported
creyices-a sort of Goliath of Gath
wind, that roared up and down through
the camp, daring the whole host to come
out and battle with it.
OF the few unfortunates whom cir
cumstances compelled to meet this rude
challenger the omnibus of the Island
City hotel held two, just arrived by the
train from some indefinite region to the
northward, ard continuing in this peril
GUS manner their journey toward rest
and shelter. They were of opposite sex,
the man a hurley, black-bearded person,
with black eyes that glowed beneath the
shadow of his broad brimmed hat with
a fire scarcely inferior to that Of the i'm
posing diamond upon his shirt front.
He sat squarely in the middle of the
seat, with one arm stretched along its
back, nursing a heavily booted foot up
on one knee, and c~omplacently thread
ing the fingers of his brown hairy hand
through his thick beard. The woman,
whom even the uncertain light of the
Intellectual lamp showed to be Young
and attractive, was buttoned from the
throat to ankle in an all enveloping
waterproof, but her hat was a stylish
affair of felt, trimmed with a handsome
plume; and a muR of rich dark fur,
which reposed upon her lap, united its
testimony to that of the Russian leather
travelling satchel upon the favorable
side of the question as to her fortune
and social standing.
She sat with her back as nearly turn
ed upon her fellow traveller as the con-
struction of the vehicle would allow,
gazing tizedly out of the front window,
where the Pickering rays of the drivers
lamp showed her the wet backs and
dropping ears Of the horses. Her posi-
ton afforded an admirable view of
the solidlv coiled braids Of hair, with a
fringe Of little unpredominated curls,
that fell from beneath them upon a
slender weIl-monlded neck, which the
black bearded man seemed o ffad pleas
ing.
The omnibus laborsd heavily for
ward IN the gale, which had laid its
lash of raindrops sharply across the
closed glasses. All at once, with a
fearful lsssch II 70 q documentary
stand, hesitating apparently upon the
verge of a catastrophe; while the flicker

agitated surface of a body Of water OF
undetermined extent. The young lady
started up, grasring her satchel, and
looking about her for some means Of
escape.

What Prevented.

lDetroit Free Press.
 He had been stopping al a hotel for a day or two, seemingly unnoticed by any of the clerks or employees, and It struck him so queerly that he sa, down beside a man, who appeared to be a guest, and said:
 Good many of us here?"
 "Yes."
 Some going and some coming all the ,ime?"
 Yes"
 /" don't see why couldn't walk out and take the train for home without pay ing my bill.
 The other made no reply. and after minute he first one continued:

 Oh. nothing much. except that I'm employed here as spo,ter. and have had my eyes on you ever since you reg istered.'
 Ten minutes later the stranger settled hls bill up to the next day noon, but he continued 10 carry the look of man who'd like to kick somebody.

The Highest Award.

Among the brewed beverages of the world the Anheuser Busch Beer, made by the Anheuser-B Busch Brewing Associ- alton of S, Louis, Mo, takes the lead The highest awards have been given this beer over all others wherever exhibited both in America and Europe notably at Philadelphia in 1870. at Paris in 1878 and at the Worlds Exposition, Amster- dam, 1885, on which occasion all of the European brewers of note competed tor the pnle. These facts supported by the popularity of the Anheuser- Busch beer among beer consumers everywhere are lndisputable.
 For the convenience of their trade the Association has established beer and ice iepo,s at numerous points throughout, the country, where the dealer may obtain supplies in small quantities and avoid the delay which would be occasioned if compelled to order direct from St. Louis. They have an extensive depo, of this kind in Little Rock under the manage ment of H. F. Mons. who will give prompt attention 10 all shipments. Ad. dress all orders to

Lotta's Childhood.
San Francisco Letter. l


 In the tumble-down district of San Francisco, known as Chinatown, is cute looking. though somewhat dilapida,ed cottage, which is pointed GU, to visitors as the former home of i.o,ta, the bright and vivac;ous little actress who is nov winning laurels on the London stage An old lady who was next door neigh bors 10 the Crabtrees will sit and talk of them by the hour. She says :. Old Crab. as Lo,ta $ father was familiarly called. kept a music hall down town that was llrge'y pltronized by miners and pros pecteTs during Californias golden days tflring ;he afternoon and evenin ;. musical and variety entertainments we5c given on stage in one end of the hall or saloon.
 On one occasion the star ran of to the mines with her lover, which broke up ;he show. Little l.o,ta was tGen acting IS waiter girl carrying drinks to the rough miners and assisting her lathe. in every way she could. The old man on this uC : cdsion was down in the mouth. His patrons were clamoring for the sho~ to begin and threatening to clear the ranch If he didn't trot out singer. In the midst o. his distress, which he had inef- iectually tried to drown with cop- us draughts of whisky, Lo;ta beckoned him back to the stage entrance and said ."l'll do ii. dad. if you'll le, me" He told her she couldn't, and she vent away IT tears.
 In few minutes. however. the fiddler appeared. ,he bell tinkled, and up went the curtain. There stood Loita Tn her iaultlessly neat barmaid dress, all con fused and just on the poin, of bursting into tears. The crowd yelled and stamped. the fiddler threw his whole weight on 10 the horse hair, and Lotia sang and danced as had never been done before The men applauded. stamped and howled, threw thelr hats on the stage. and peitcd her with gold pieces and bags of dust until she was worth SIoo or more. They would not be satisfied and clamcred for more and more until the little lady was completely worn out.
 From that night on Old Crabs !" place did the business. and had he not allowed her success to turn his head he would have made fortune But the more he made the harder he drank. and hnally took to abusing Lotta and her mother, and at last died desl sed by all who knew him, except his abused child. She then started out to make her own fortune.

His invitation comes only at. ter you have sat down with him and had chat on old times and future prospects. He IS shy of you at first. You can feel that he IS sounding you and trying to make an estimate of whether you will do to tic 10. By and by he warns up and does two-thirds of the talking. Further on he hitches his chair little closer. Then he grows more confidential, and first you know he taps your arm or your leg with his finger to emphasize his re- marks.

He never stops to taste nor smack nor dilute. out down il goes as if he hadn't a min ute To spare. and you are Jeff with two thirds of glass of beer in your hand. He'll settle the score, wipe of his mouth. chew up three or four kernels of coffee and consult his watch before the last of your glass IS gone, and you can't help but feel that you arc trespassing upon his valuable time.
