A Diplomatic Mistake.

From an Attache's "reminiscences in Btdck ,oood.
Each ball had characteristic feature.
The English ball was specially remark
able for its floral display; and, as write,
l remember an amusing incident which
is worth recording.
Some Ofus had been told of TO receive
at different entrance some of the minor
royalties, and carried bouquets TO present
TO the Processes.
Presently we were informed that the
Grand Duchess - and her daughter had
alighteh. OF we buried TO receive them,
and as neither of us mad seen them before,
were quite satisfied that the pOrtly lady
and young damsel by her side were inde, q
the personages announced, though IL
struck me at the time that / had never
seen so commonplace young woman "a
the grand duchess daughter. To each
a bouquet was duly presented; and Lord
D., doing admirably the donors, offered
his arm TO the pOrtly princess, and we
followed with her daughter.
AS we passed the drawing-room, where
the guests were assembled, noticed a
look OF some surprise on many counter
ances: but we were too intent on our
duty to pay much attention to this. On
approaching the door, however, OF the
room reserved to royalty, wherein We
were about TO deposit the lady and her
daughter, a groom of the chambers
rushed up, calling out that we had mao e
a mistake, and that the Grand Duchess
had just arrived.
We never stopped to verify the fact, but
without moments hesitation we took
the bouquets from our amazed com
paniOns, who a few minutes later could
see us stately accompanying the real
Grand Duchess and her charming daugh-
ter, carrying the same bouquets which
had done service before. How the mis-
take arose we never inquired, but 1t
caused good deal of merriment.
Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1885-12-26

said the one rather seedy occupant of the
office, who was seated behind the table.
'D0 you know your ticket not only won
the books, but $500 in addition, and here
is the cash."
A bundle OF bills marked $500 was
handed to Miller, who then explained the
way IN which the union drawings were
conducted, = scheme which Mr.. Locke
seemed very much pleased with. he was
invited to have ''shy" at 1t, and agreed
to do so. A pack OF cards containing
numbers was produced, and Mr.. Locke
produced two crisp $40 bills from his
pocketbook, and put them on the table.
Then he put his hand on them.
"Oh, you needn't put your hand on
them," remarked the seedy manipulator
of the cards. 'No one is going to take
the bills away from YOU"
"No; Pm devilish sure OF that" re-
marked Mr.. Locke.
AS he told the story to his friends down
town yesterday, he explained: The fell
low, who called himself Smith, knew l
could handle without trouble, and / had
the fellow behind the table in chancery,
because he sat close to the wall, and in
case OF any trouble a sharp push Of the
table would have pinned him there. SO
knew l was in no personal danger. Be-
sides fellows OF that class are always
cowards."
When the seedy party had shufled and
played with the cards. he pulled four of
the PACK, whose total value, he said, was
p. Reference to the oil cloth showed that
the block marked ~ indicated a prize of
5000. A bundle of bills representing that
amount was laid on the table.
But you can't have the money, Mr..
Locke" remarked the sharper, "until we
have had another go at it, because you
see the q square has two stars on it,
which Indicates that il takes two win
nings to get the money, and that you must
stake $50 more In order TO get the $500
sure.
Mr.. Locke objected to this little ar
rangement, and dumfounded the cOnspir-
ators by asking TO look at one of the $40
bills in the pile he was said to have won.
They handed one to him and assumed an
air OF virtuous indignation as he carefully
scanned it, in chorus asking:
''D0 you tn NIX we would have counter
felt money, Mr.. Locker
81 don't know what you might have"
said Mr.. Locke, calmly pocketing his
ewn $50, and retaining the ten dollar note,
''but this is evidently a good bill, and Will
just about pay me for my trouble in COM
ing around here. Allow me to wish you
a very good morning, gentlemen"
Before they could Interfere to prevent
it, MIR. Locke lett the Art Union Office,
leaving the young sharpers to mediate
upon the losses attendant upon 'catch-
ing Tartar"

READY TO START AGAIN.
German Colonization In Brazil.
From ne Pan MdU Gdsstte.

Germany IS just now showing wonder
full energy in colonization. An attempt
is being made 10 include even South
America within the field Of operations.
The idea Is 10 establish a thoroughly Ger
man settlement on a large scale In Rio
(irande do sul,the southernmost province
of the Brazlls. Already a small colony OF
Germans has emigrated from the Father
land, and a company Is 10 be formed with
a large capital Ia order 20 further extend
the dow Of emigrants towards this part OF
the world. As the colonial associations
are reported % have taken the matter up
and TO have voted funds for preliminary
INQUIRIES. IL may be expected that we
shall hear a good deal more about the Rio
Grande do sui. This development OF the
German colonial movement IL decidedly
sensible one. If she object OF colonization
he tO provide a home for families who, for
whatever reason, are no longer contented
to live In their native land, and simulta-
ne0usly 10 extend the market for home
industries, such projects as this are highly
commendable. OF course there can be
no prospect OF acquiring imperial author
fly, hut that is q DISADVANTAGE more inn
aeinary than real. 10 IA Infinitely better
for a country Ike Germany 20 have a col
Ony of her sons and daughters living pros
perously on the soil OF friendly land and
exchanging with her the products Of IN
dustrv than 20 expend her energies on the
deYeiOi mcnl ~ regions whose productive
ness n "a question oi tho distant future.
