miral English, commanding the European

an American resident Of Nice, France,
that officers Of the flagship Lancaster had
publicly abused the head of the navy de-
partment and all connected with it, for
having ordered that vessel to the Congo
country. alleging it was done to spite the
ladies. The secretary e~ncloses a copy Of
the letter received at the department on
the subject and says he has written to the
writer, whose name is purposely with
held" requesting that he give him (Ad-
miral English) the names Of the officers
who made the statements referred to.
The secretary's letter to Admiral English
concludes as follows: "You will immedi-
ately institute inquiries concerning the
truth of the ayerments in the letter by
interrogating directly all officers Of the
Lancaster, and if you find any officer has
made the specific statement narrated in
the letter, or has criticised in a hotel, or
anywhere else, any orders Of the depart
ment, you will report the faess to the de-
partment. and until receiving further in
structions viii suspend such officer from
duty and not allow him to leave his vessel
except for urgent reasons, to be made Of
record and reported to the department"

The top step Of the flight leading up to the
city hall In New York is a pulpit from which
many preachers ~expatiate on Sunday. There
is a small park in front of the cdifce, and I'M
less the weather is too Indictment there are
nearly always a good many wanderers near
at hand who viii listen II somebody will sing
and preach. One recent Sunday an Episco-
palian, a Baptist, and a Methodist exorter
held forth, one after the other, and the
loungers were about to separate, when a
brisk old man mounted the steps and, with a
loud voice, exclaimed; II preach the gospel
Of bread. People who arc hungry can get
something to eat here every Wednesday and
Thursday afternoons at 3 o'clock"
That was a good while to whit II a man
was really hungry, but the speaker went on
to explain that while his particular mission
was a Christian onstt,held to the principle
that no man could be thoroughly good and at
the same time desperately hungry. He
wanted everybody who was hungry to come
and be fod, and he would talk Of salvation
afterwnrd. This seemed to suit the senti-
ments Of his auditors, for they a~pplauded
him vigorously and agreed TO come and see
him In discussing the matter afterward the
old man said his mission had distributed this
year ffty-nine barrels OF -four, $50 pounds Of
coffee, go loaves OF bread, twelve chests OF
tea, 900 pounds of meal. 5000 pounds Of
hominy, 425 pounds Of potatoes, $4,000
pounds Of beans, and 5000 pounds Of fresh
fish. He was very enthusiastic In his work,
and declared that he was making more CON
verts than all the high-priced clergylnsn in
the city put together.

AEIER The AUCTION SALE.
Going Home with a Wagon Load OF Al
Sorts of bargains

Going Home with a Wagon Load OF All
Sorts Of bargains
fst. Louis Globe Democrat
Did you ever see a woman taking her pur-
chnses home from a special salel II you
have not, make up your mind that you have
missed a sight which a months travel in
Europe or anywhere else can not replace for
genuine interest and whole-souled delight
She may float gayly out of the scene with a
coal-scuttle full Of miscellanies on one arm
and a multiplicity OF packages on the other.
II she does, kindly note the serene picture OF
self satisfaction with which the blood from
her bounding heart Oils her face. Every
article in the collection represents a bargain,
and a bargain TO a woman's soul, whether it
embodies a thing Of beauty or IN object Of
superlative ugliness, Is a joy forever. Even
the crooked poker in the outfit is an achieve
ment in the line of small prices hat fills her
brain with a wilder glow Of glory than the
First Napoleon must AVE felt when the day
won at Austerlitz
But take lake the woman who hasa wagon
load OF such achievements to carry home.
She gathers her acquisitions as swiftly as sho
knows how and begins to worry the carman
who Is unfortunate enough to fall under her
eye, even before the sale Is over. When she
has glutted her appetite for truck, which
usually means that she has gone to the bot
tom Of her pocket-book, she bosses that car
man as ruthlessly almost as a second mats
on the river bosses a gang Of ~roustabouts.
He has to handle everything gently, from
the odd stove-lid to the decrepit three-legged
stool, and no matter what the size OF his
wagon, everything must go in one load.
There is a queer admixture Of dressing cases
and kettles, bedding and dishes. d ware
and mirrors in her Accommodations, and must
all be neatly slowed to avoid breakage and
economic space
Woe betide the carman who breaks or
loses anything belonging to hori When tho
wagon Is full she takes her place on the seat
beside the driver and rides away with a
on her face as wide as the street. Her
progress toward home is one OF triumph.
and though no brass ban precedes the pro-
cession playing Tho Conquering Hero" tho
music OF that composition beats in her
breast and Is ratified in her ears by the
wheels and paving stones and horses hoofs
as she goes MrS Toodles' joy was no more
supreme. Mrs, Toodles could not have felt
any happier.

New Orleans Cor, Chicago Timesl
New Orleans was once famous for her
creole balls, but they have now become only
traditions of the past. The term itself was
always a misnomer. They were, properly
speaking, quadroon balls. The real creole
element Of New Orleans society was repre-
sented at these affairs only by the male par
Elephants. They were great events-these
creole balls. The quadroon beauties were
celebrated in the old days for their brilliancy,
their accomplishments. their eloquence OF
manners, their richness OF attire. They con-
stituted the aristocracy Of the half world OF
the gay southern capital, and the flower OF
Louisiana chivalry paid court at their shrine.
But the anomalous social structure Of which
they we're a component part long since
nottered 10 its fall, and the brilliant and ac-
complished quadroon bellies disappeared for.
ever beneath tho ruins. Creole balls, SO
called, are still given in New Orleans, but
they bea no more resemblance to the
gorgeous revels of tho past than a ball in a
State street dance-house to one Of Eugenie's
magnificent receptions at the Tulleries.
They are, In short, a delusion and a snare.

fragments Of food, or traces of some

to cause incipient decay, and hasten
it where it has already commenced.
It is Of course, desirable TO brush
