Ice Cream NIustaches.


The astounding announcement that ice
cream will make the mustache grow has
created a Juror for the frozen delight on
the part of beardless young men. 1t has
also increased the business OF the aver
age ice-cream dealer to an extent hitherto
unknown or undreamed of eYel in his
widest flights of imagination. There
seems to be no doubt that the cruel and
reckless report originated with some
giddy girl whose fondness for cream over
came her conscientious scruples. As long
as she remains unknown she will reap
the harvest to which she is entitled by
virtue of her vivid imagination and
praiseworthy ingenuity. But If the
secret escapes her, all her hopes OF I'M
limited ice cream will be blasted forever.
Though the strain on the purse Of the inn
pecunious youth is severe, yet his desire
for a capillary climax to his handsome
face counterbalanees the agony caused
by woeful lack of clinking coin. The
mustache must come, even if it breaks q
bank.

he set his teeth and made up his mind
or tried to- that the baby had died in the
hands of its nurse. This was, after all,
much the likeliest supposition, and the
woman had maintained it { in the hope Of
being rewarded tor her candor quite as
often as she had asseverated that it was
still COMMUNICATIVE { in the hope of
being remunerated for her good
news). 1t may be imagined with what
sentiments toward his wife Benyon
had emerged from this episode. Tonight
his memory went further blackjack to
the beginning and to the days when he
had had to ask himself, with all the crud-
lty of his first surprise, what in the name of
perYersity she had wished to do with him.
The answer to this speculation was so old
1t had dropped so out of the line of re-
currence-that it was now almost new
again. Moreover. it was only approx
mate, for, as have already said. he could
comprehend such conduct as little at the
end as at the beginning. She had found
herself on slope which her nature forced
her to descend to the bottom. She did
him the honor of wishing to enjoy his
society, and she did herself the
honor Of thinking that their intimacy
however brief-must have certain con-
secrati0n. She felt that, with him, after
his promise Che would have made any
kA1A+AAoN " ACetAk 4CA OIl 5AAG " 10 SCI III g
secure as she had proved to be, secure as
she must think herself now. That securi-
ty had helped her to ask herself after the
first flush of passion was over, and her
native, her twice-inherited worldliness
had had time to open its eyes agaln-why
she should keep faith with a man whose
deficiencies as husband before the world
another affair! had been so scientifcal-
Iy exposed to her by her parents. So she
had simply determined not to keep faith !;
and her determination, at least, she did
keep.
By the time Benyon turned in he had
satisfied himself, as say, that Georgina
was now in his power, and this seemed to
him such an improvement in his situation
that he allowed himself for the next ten
days a license which made Kate Theory
almost as happy as it made her sister,
though she pretended to understand it far
less. Mildred sank to her rest, or rose to
fuller comprehensions within the year in
the Isle Of Wight, and Capt. Benyon, who
had never written so many letters as since
they left Naples, sailed westward about
the same time as the sweet survivor. For
the Louisiana at last was ordered home.

GEORGINA'S REASONS.

More Folly.

The amendment which was tackled on to
the Dingley shipping bill at the suggestion
of Mr.. Cox, will undoubtedly be defeated in
the Senate. There is no danger that any
measure looking to free trade in ships will
become law so long as the Republicans
control either branch of Congress. The
practical end of Mr.. Cox's amendment is
that it exposes the whole bill to defeat. If
the Senate strikes out this amendment, as it
undoubtedly will, the bill must come back
to the House for reconsideration, and it is
liable to get there towards the last of the
session, when there is always rush of i'm
portant business, much of which fails OF
transaction for lack of time. 1t will be re-
collected that this very bill failed at the last
session because it was crowded out by the
press of business incident to the close of a
session.
1t is, however, much better that
the bill should fail entirely than that it
should become law with this amendment
which we have the authority of man who
is SO thoroughly informed on the subject as
Mr.. Dingey for saying would 'ssound the
death-knell of the building of American
ships, by American workmen, in American
yards" The course of the Democrats on
this measure shows how thoroughly incom-
petent they are to deal with any question
which concerns the interests Of the country.
They admitted that the provisions of the
bill as reported from the committee were
admirable and would greatly relieve the
carrying trade from the burdens under
which it is laboling; they knew that it was
impossible for measure looking 10 free
trade in ships to become law during the
existence of the present Congress; yet they
were ready to jeopardize bill, concerning
the utility of which there was lutte differ
ence of opinion and which could easily have
become law by lacking to it an amend
ment concerning which there is wide differ
ence OF opinion and which must certainly
fail of enactment.

The Advertisers Vagaries.

The PRESS cuts loose from these sound princi-
pies and contends that the board phiEe ostensibly
listening to the evidence and the arguments on the
allegations before them may really be considering
privately whether the Marshal did lis full duty in
the matter of the burglaries last summer and
whether it is not possible that more efficient off,
Ger could be found.-Advertiser.
This is perversion and misrepresenta-
ton of what the PRESS said. What the
PRESS said was this,-"we do not see why,
having the Marshal before them, they 1.-THE
Adermen) may not push the inquiry as to
efficiency in any direction they choose"
There is nothing here about considering any
matter privately, giving the Marshal no OPP
portunity to be heard. We said that we did
not think the Aldermen were ''limited in
their action by the complaints which the
Mayor has brought" We believe new COM
plants can now be made, if any Alderman
desires, upon which as upon those already
made, the Marshal would, of course, be en- i.
titled to hearing: Nothing in the article
to which the Advertiser refers intimates
that the Marshal is not to have hearing on
all matters alleged against him.
But judicial temper is hardly to be ex-
pected of journal which prejudged the
ease on every count but two before parti-
Gle of the evidence had been presented {:
which, in fact, asserted that charge of "cul-
pable neglect of duty enjoined by the city
ordinances charge of leaving the whole
city for part of one night practically I'M
guarded. a charge of having virtually noti-
fed class of violators of law that they
would not be molested unless they protract-
ed their daily violation after 10 o'clock at
night, charge that the Marshal changed a
complaint after it had been sworn to, thus
making it legally void, and charge that he
hsbitually assumed to determine on his own
responsibility whether cases arising under
the liquor law should be prosecuted or not
prosecuted, were each and all "not serious
and might better have been omittedr'
As this is the first public question of mo-
ment provoking any sharp difference OF
opinion among citizens concerning which
the Advertiser has ventured to express de-
cided Judgment since we became constant
reader of the paper, its course in the matter
has challenged our close attention. We con-
fess degree of surprise in the discovery
that it considers complaints of ineficiency
of bad Judgment, or of improper interference
with the cour Sc of the law toward offenders
not serious enough to warrant investigation
and to being still further surprised at the
queer standards of qualification in public

We publish this morning in full the de-
Tense of Mr.. Blaine by Hon. William Wal
ter Phelps against some charges lately
printed in the New York Evening Post.
These charges were not new, land at the time
they appeared we made no reference to
them. Indeed but little attention has been
paid in any quarter to the revival of them,
although they may have been put on file in
the offices of Democratic newspapers FOR
future uses. Mr.. Phelps, however, has
thought it advisable to meet them now, and
has done so in manner which is at once
courteous, unevasive and clear, and likely to
prove convincing on the points which he
discusses to persons who will take the
trouble 10 read carefully what he says. 1t
seems to US that this is the fairest and most
cogent explain alton of circumstances which
have given trouble to great many minds
that has has ever appeared, and Mr. Phelps's
own standing as an upright and intelligent
man of business and citizen will secure an
attention to his plain statement which would
not be given to anything said by one who
had only political reputation at stake. The
abstract of the comments of the Evening
Post, which was telegraphed to the Boston
journal, is appended. 1t indicates that the
letter of Mr.. Phelps is considered by that
journal to be document of weight and
credit. While it must be expected, if Mr..
Blaine should be candidate for President,
that these charges will be worked for all
they are worth, it will be generally recog-
nized that Mr.. Phelps has broken their force

The following letter in defence of Hon.
James G. Blaine, By Hon. William Walter
Phelps, is addressed to the editor of the New
York Evening POST
On the 18th inst. you made formal charges
against James G. Blaine. They are the same
which were made eight years ago, and which
were, think, at that time satisfactorily an
swered. List others, however, may, like your
self, have forgotten everything except the as
sault. you must permit me to remind you of
the defence. think may claim some quail
fications for the task. have long had close
personal intimacy with Mr.. Blaine. and during
many years have had that knowledge and care
of his moneyed interests which men absorbed
in public affairs are not inapt to devolve upon
friends who have had financial training and
experience. l do not see how one man could
know another better than / know him, and he
to-day has my full confidence and warm re-
gard. I am myself somewhat known in the
city of New York, and think have some per-
sonal rank with you and your readers. Am
claiming too much in claiming that there is
not one among you who would regard me as
capable of an attempt to mislead the public in
any way? With this personal allusion, par
donable, il not demanded under the circum-
stances, proceed to consider your charges.
The first charge is really the one upon which
all the others hinge. give it in full and in
your own language, only italicising some of
your words, in order that my answer may be
the clearer:
The first of these charges is that in the spring
session of Congress, in 1869, a bill was before
the House of Representatives which sought to
renew land grant to the Little Rock and Fort
Smith Railroad of Arkansas, IN (Which some of
Mr. BIaine's friends mere interested; that an at
tempt to defeat it by an amendment was made,
and its promoters were in despair; that at this
iuncture Mr.. Blaine, being then Speaker of the
House. sent a message to General Logan to
make the point of order that the amendment
was not germane to the purposes of the bill 4;
that this point of order was accordingly raised
and promptly sustained by Mr.. Blaine as
| Speaker, and the bill was in this manner saved
that Mr. Blaine 1Cr0te at once to the promoters,
calling attention to the Se7O5ce he had rendered
them, and finally, after some negotiations, Sc
| cured from them, as q Te1CdTd for 1t, his ap-
| pointment as selling agent of The bonds OF the
road on commission in Maine, and received q
4 number of such bonds as his percentage; that
1 the leading features of this transaction ap-
public dated respectively June 90 and Octo-
1 Der 4, 1869.
Your error is in the facts. Mr.. Blaine's
| friends were not connected with the Fort
| Smith and Little Rock Road at the time of the
passage of this bill. Those to whom you refer
| as his friends were Caldwell and Fisher. The
bill passed in April, 1869. In April, 1869, Mr..

Kansas had State oratorica contest the
other day, at which George 81. Mayo of
Emporia carried of the laurels with an ora
ton entitled "Watchman, What of the
Nightp 1t was noticed that Mr.. Mayo's
Grafton nodded badly when about half
through, in other words that the last half of
1t was much inferior to the first half. The
mystery, however, was explained by the dis
eovery that the first half it was stolen from
Col. A. K. NcClure's oratisn delivered at
Dickinson College in 1878, and published in
Cooper's American Politics. and the last
half was original. Mr.. Mayo was to repre-
sent his State in the national oratorical con-
test at Iowa City, but circumstances beyond
his control are likely to prevent.
