Something About Bayard.

Senator Bayard knows how to use
his hands to more advantage than
any man In Congress. He always
moves them gracefully when speak
ing to friends, and does 40 to en-
phasize his words, aud when reading
or writing he never gets into an
awkward position. Since Roscoe
Conkling was in the Senate 1t is said.
no one but Bayard has brought the
art of hand eloquence to such per
fection. Bayard has also got the
largest hands Of any man In WASH
ington. He Is a large-boned man.
heavily put together, and his fingers
are stout and very long. At Chicago
during the Convention picture OF
him hung in the rotunda of the Pal
mer House, and the graceful posi-
ton in 'whion it showed him was un-
iversally commented upon. he stood
erect like soldier, with one arm
behind his back while the other was
half lifted and brought forward by
his side where the enormous size o
his hand could he seen; 1t was par

laughing about this picture. that he
took his positions himself, and never
allowed a photog rapher to pose him
like q block of woods Bayard Ia not
a graceful speaker, because he holds
himself too much in restraint, and
does not let himself out. He never
uses his arms. and in the Senate bis
only movement is walking back and
forth behind his desk while address
ing his colleagues, occasionally stop
ping and resting the ends OF his
fingers upon a book or playing with
bis eye-glass. He has enormous
shaggy eyebrows. and the play OF
these is wonderful; the skin of bis
forehead must be very elastic, for he
can depress these eyebrows SO as TO
wholly obscure his eyes with q scowl,
and then will suddenly raise them
almost to the hair on his head. -Nes0

PAVILION,
The Climate OF Bermuda.

The climate of the islands, writes
a Bermuda correspondent to the st.
Louis Republican, is not tropical.
They are In the same latitude with
Charleston, and Charleston Ia far
north Of the tropic, which passes be-
tween Key West and Cuba.
The Bermudas are q wlnterlees
region, and this Is their special merit
as snow, ice and frost are unknown.
The temperature is rarely below
fifty-6ve degrees Fahrenheit. and
fires for heating purposes are not
considered necessary, though as q
matter of fact the hotels do have
fires In the parlors and smoking
rooms for the comfort Of invalid pat
rons. There is no lang0ur In the at
mosphere which Is positively exhil-
iarating. The cedar which coverB
all the hills and is the0nly real wood
on the islands. lmparts q balsamic
property to the air and the absence
of swamps and marsh, exempts 1t
from maiarial poison that infects the
atmosphere Of the West Indies. The
summer heat, 1t is is said never rises
above eighty-fve, and Is never op-
pressive. All the vegetation Of the
tropics grows here, but mono attains
the tropical size ana luxuriance, and
the fruits lack the full favor and
luscious character of the Indies. Irish
potatoes, onions and tomatoes. all
grown tor the early New York
market, are the principal prOduc-
tions, and they are diligently cult
vated as the source of livelihood to
large proportion Of the population.
Nearly all the flowers kc1ltivated In
hot houses in 1.-The states" thrive out
doors, and bear one crop OF blooms
after another all the year round, and
one of the surprises that first arrest
the attention of the Northern visitor
Is that of seeing potato fields hedged
With aristocratic oleanders, and on
ion beds placsd in setting Of geran-
iuma. coleuS and begOnians.

An Arabian Scot.

A court was filled with the forms
OF Arab men and women squatting
on sacred mats, and facing plat
form where eight Arabs engaged in q
fantastic and fascinating dance
AS the musicians began to play,
slowly they moved the upper parts Of
their bodies forward and backward
and from side to side. Gradually the
music became faster and faster and
faster and faster they went, throw
Ing their limbs and bodies about in
almost inc0noeivable positions, until
I could scarcely believe that the rap
idly whiFling mass before me were
human beings.
Several hundred years ago there
lived in pashalik of Arabia q learned
m arabout priest who gathered about
him many disciples, but as bis. doc
trines were not consistent with the
Koran. he drew upon himself the en-
nifty of the reigning Pasha who ban
ished him and his disciples to the
desert of Sahara, whittier they were
left without food or water. Accord.
ingly they feasted upon scorpions,
snakes anc priokly-pears. When this
miracle came to the ears Of the
Pasha, he enticed them by offers Of
pardon to his palace. He threw
them into q dungeon filled with scor-
pi0ns, bits of crockery, glass, and
other similar tonics, and told them
they would not be released until
they ate everything. 1t was no diff.
ficult task, as they had been grow
ing fat on the same sort Of food. The
Pasha having seen them eat, granted
them all q full pardon. and made Ali
Ben bis vizier. The descendants Of
Ali and his disciples formed sect
called Alssaouas, who every year, on
the anniversary of the trial in the
dungeon. celebrate che event in the
manner I have described. am told
that in some places the sect still eat
scorpions and chew glass.

AMUSEMEN1'S,
KATIE PUTNAM.

Renshaw's Opera House WAS again
crowded last levening by 3 highly
fashionable audience to witness
the lmpersonations of Katie Putnam.
The little lady played the difficult
parts of the MarchiOnesS and Little
Nell. The characters are two of the
brightest conceptions of the great
Dickens mind The one "Boz' has
invested with q quaintness that
could only find birth in his genius.
the other with q sweetness and ten
derness that is almost angelic. For
an actress to attempt the portrayal
of these two characters so entirely
dissimilar. is an undertaking many
would shrink from, but Miss Put
nam's versatility render her emf
nently fit for the task. Her keen con-
ceptiOn of the ludicrous, qualities her
for the "Marchioness," while her nat
ural pathos render Little Nell '4h
interesting study. She had the sym
pathy of the audience entirely with
her, as was fully evidenced by the
applause which at times was go en-
thusiastic as to amount 70 almost q
falrore.
Nor was originality confined alto
gether to Miss Katie. Here and
there, during the progress of the
play, there were bits of acting by the
various members of the company
that gave proof of clear c0mprehen-
sion and careful study Of the parts
assigned them. Especially wa. this
noticeable in Mr.. Murdock's "Dick
Swiveler," Mr.. Bosworth's "Quilp"
Mr.. Emer,'s "Grandfather Trent"
and Mr.. titspatrick's Sampson

were very good, the one as Kit"
the other as 'iSlum." The ladies
had very little to do, but that little
was exceedingly we'll done. To Sum
up, our citizens are indebted to Miss
Putnam and her company for an
agreeable evenings entertainment.
