A New Rule.

Perhaps, boys, you would like to
know the day of the week on which
you were born, if there are dozen
or so of you in the family, your
mother can't remember the day,
your father don't care. your older
sister is sorry you were born at all
and don't want TO know, your aunt
never knew, and your grandmother
is dead, and so you must rely on
some rule, as follows: Set down
the year OF your birth less l, divide
by A (throwing away remainder, il
any,, and add to the date; also add
the number of days from January
LIST to the date of birth, divide by Z,
and if Q remains, Sunday is your
birthday if l, Monday; 2, Tuesday,
and so OH.

noticed an instance of Washington
snobbishness last night in one Of the
leading groceries of the Capital, which
well illustrates the character Of one class
OF our heightened court society. i was
waiting to buy some little things and
very pretty and modest lady was stand
ing at the counter watching the clerk
do up some packages for her. Another
lady, the wife OF an old Washingtonian,
was also waiting, as was, when Mrs.
General --, q leader of the Capital,
and one OF the newest of the nouUeaa
rtche, came strutting in dressed in
velvet and seal-skin. She was tall,
angular woman, with a nose which
seemed to turn up at everybody and ev-
erything. She had an eye-glass attached
to long 'handle in her right hand and
this she presented in front Of her right
eye and began looking supercillously
around the store.
All the clerks were busy as they could
be. But with the most arrogant air she
turned to the one above spoken of, and
said: do you not see, sir, that | am
waiting?" The clerk dropped the
bundles he had and rushed over to her.
She then pointed with majestic air to
n lot OF tomatoes marked twelve cents q
can. She said: II will take one OF those
cans of tomatoes; you may carry it out
to my carriage" and with that she
swept out of the store in the same regal
way in which she had entered. As she
did so Noticed a smile of contempt on the
countenapce Of the old Washingtonian
who had the blood of some OF the most
noted families in the country in her
veins. She quietly waited until her turn
came to be served, and taking her pur-
chases, which amounted to many times
that Of the snob who had pushed into
her place, in her arms, she said: al
thank you, but / can carry these out
myself" She took the bundles in her
arms and going to the door stepped into
finer carriage than that Of the female
snob and was driven quietly away. 1t
is no wonder that some of the old Wash
ington ladies object to the rude ways of
those who in part compose our great
court circles. - Washington Cor. Glaze

PANAMA, Sept. l4.-An extra number of
the Official Gazette has been published by
order of Gen. MontOya announcing the
complete subJectlOn of the rebels and the
restoration of peace throughout the coun-

the details of the battle of COnta on the
18th ut. On the morning of that day the
government troops entered the town of
Contd, sixty miles from Lima, and sur
prised a division of Gen Caccres' army. and
after sharp action of several hours was
forced To fly in disorder. Col, Torres
rested, placed his men in the barracks,
situated in the principal square of the
town, and mounted the machine
gun in one of the towers.
