GIVING HIMSELF AWAY.
How a Dude Disclosed the Fact that He
Wore Corsets.

Gentlemen's Fashions, in New York Graphic.
Since the abandonment Of the very short,
close-fitting Prince Albert very few young men
have INDUCED in the sickeDing folly of wearing
corsets. There are quite a number Of uptown
la-de-dahs. however, who have become so i'm
pressed with the idea that they present an i'll APP
pearance at a ball or reception without them. that
they still believe a corset one of the chief ele-
meEts necessary in an evening attire, and act
accordingly; but the more sensible of the dudes
have finally arrived at the realization of the ex-
IRENE unmanliness of the fashion, and discarded
them. A laughable little joke is told of q Madi-
son-avenue young fop. who was fast becoming a
hopeless bigot in the corset creed, but which con-
verted him quicker and more effectually than
any otLer medium could have done. He was
one Of the immaculate set that made
up p select little kattledrum at a Murray
Hill house one evening, during which q
warm discussion arose between a gentleman
friend and himself. 10 amica5ly settle the aE-
fair a game Of billiards was proposed, the victor
to be also victor in the dispute. Ali hands in
terested accordingly repaired to the billiard par
Tor, and a heated contest was soon in action. In
a few minutes the game became so exciting that
the Madison-avenue young gent threw off his
coat tina. he might ply his cue more unrestrained.
In due time the score stood thirty three TO thir-
~ty-three. 1t was his play, and the excitement
ran high. If he missed, all was lost without a
doubt; but, winning. ne would be the victor OF
two battles, and hence the lion Of the kettle
drum. To fire his ambition to an aerial height,
too, a bevy of fair ladies concerned in the dis
pute, and consequently in the game, stood in an
alcove near by intently watching the proceed
ings.
ITO be or not to be" was now the question,
and to give himself more freedom and that not
even a straw should lie in the way of him and
victory, he took off his vest, utterly ~forgetful OK
the young ladies in his frenzy of excitement.
But ere he had seized his cue a dozen shrill
screams came from the alcove, followed by the
departing rustic of a dozen silk trains and
hearty shouts of laughter from the men around
the billiard table. : The absence of his vest dis
closed his waist laced tightly in a corset of the
most delightful couleur de rose. Though he
won the game, on recovering from his embarass-
ment it need not be said that he was no lion
of that kettledrum, and that the ladies saw no
more of him that evening and for many follow
ing. And although he suffered a cruel sacri-
fee, it had its reward in saving him from q
longer patronage of the most disgusting of fash
ionable freaks, for when next seen in public he
appeared to have grown much stouter about the
WaiStcOat.

ESthetic Alma Tadema.

London Letter in Albany journal.
In the drawing room were various artistic
souvenirs. The only light permitted to enter
the room came through the window anes Of
most delicately-tinted onyx and other stones
ground to the thinness of paper. The soft light
filtered through revealed tapestries on the walls
and luxurious furniture scattered around. In
one corner was a grand piano, the pride of Mr..
Tadema's heart. 1t was built by Broadwood,
from special plans by Mr.. Charles Fox. as was re-
corded in a quaint inscription on the instru-
ment. At the end of the piano was a
fine high relief, in silver. of Orpheus by the
sea, and on the side were inlaid figures Of
the lark, cuckoo and owl, with a bar of the notes
Of each. Half the most famous musicians of the
world had played upon the instrument, and
their autographs were preserved OH the under
side of the lid. Tea was served by Mrs. Tadema
and her daughters in aesthetic dress. The cups
and saucers were diamond shaped. and harmon
lied well enough with the oddity of our hostess
sage green dress with its shoulder puffs. AS we
sat chatting of art and music Mr.. Tadema said
that his ideal of perfect enjoyment was to
lounge on his diyan and look through the half
drawn curtains at the exquisite life size bust of
the Olympian Hermes while Joachim discoursed
soft music on his magical S.radivarius. / must
say that I consider that artistic gluttony.

The American girl does her part in sustaining
our national reputation for independence OF

ocean steamer at this time, and she lets all the
passenger know the fact. The Travelled Arneri-
can before starting for Europe takes counsel
with himself in the light of his experience and
BUYS a steamer chair, upon the back
of which he has his name carefully
nainted. The outfit costs him s.. AS he looks
at that chair he thinks of the pleasant
time he will have al sea sitting on the deck be-
tween its comfortable arms, with a rug across
his knees, while his inexperienced countrymen
find misery on the stiff backed benches by the
cabin skyiight. But, alas. he does mot take the
American girl into his calculations. She is from
Chicago, and is on her first trip to Europe, and
in the overflow of her effusiveness sho swoops
down on that chair before the ship is yet outside
of Sandy Hook, and, settling her skirts comfort
ably about her, wholly obscures the humble namo

can sees of his chair on that trip, so far as
enjoying it himself is concerned, but he has tho
satisfaction Of beholding his fair countrywoman
making the most of it on the after-ceck
when the sun is shining brightly. AS the yes-

ANGLEWORM POTPIE.

The Favorite Dish of the Hungarian Navvies
on the South Pennsylvania Railroad.
Shirpensburg. Pa, Cor. Philadelphia Times.
"Ma, yonder1s a man wots going "a fshin,."
The speaker was a small boy, whose parents live
in a cabin and cultivate a small patch of ground
in the mountains west of this place, near the
route of Vanderbiltis proposed South Pennsyl-
vania railroad.
Ma was busy washing clothes and made no re-
ply. The youngster, impatient of such neglect,
determined on a more personal appeal to her at
tention.
MA. may I go and see him dig bait9s
$50 long" said the m~aterfamilias, CURLY.
The boy started off with q run, but as he ap-
preached the object of his journey he slowed up,
as if awed by a nearer view of the uncouth in
dlvidual who was spading the rich bottom soil.
The mans appearance was by no means reassur-
ing. In fact he looked almost savage. His an
gular and ungainly form was encased in coarse
garments, apparently the work of an amateur
tailor of the eighteenth century. Long. stray
Cling, unkempt hair and beard, and a scowl on
the narrow forehead that overhung his small.
piggish eyes, made him still less progressing.
Near the man stood a large tin can, half filled
with the ordinary earth worms used for fish bait.
Occasionally his spade would uncover a fresh
colony of worms, and with an inarticulate grunt
the Hungarian digger would pick out as many
as he could catch while they tried to bury them
selves again, and drop them into the can.
mister, may / go a-fishin' with your asked

courage to address the Hungarian. II know a
bully hole down here in the erik, and he looked
l~ongingly into the can of worms, as if enjoying
the days sport in anticipation.
me no 60 a.fishin," replied the Hungarian.
"What you goin to do with the worms, then,
m;ster2"
NJ make-a worm pot-pie. You come-a with
me, | show you, T" and he shouldered the spade
and took the can into his bosom as if it had been
a clean baby.
Too full of surprise to speak the boy followed
the Hungarian around the hill to a row of shan
ties, where several other Hungarians were cook
ing. A half grown Hungarian boy was skinning
rats and mice for dinner. Another was busily
engaged in cracking snail shells between stones,
as il they were walnuts, and depositing the snails
in an iron pot for soup. When the man with the
spade and can arrived, half a dozen clustered
around him and peeped in to SEQ how many
worms he had, then gave vent to their satisfac-
ton in grunts of joy. One of them tried to
drive the boy away, but a word from the digger
made him shut up.
The worms were washed, and then put into an
oven and -four and lard placed over them. This
was put on the fire to bake, and in half an hour
the worms were ready for a Polonius banquet
not where they eat. but where they are eaten.
The boy was invited, but didn't stay. Seeing
was good enough for him.

Washington when the wind blows from the Po-

measures over six feet from crown to heel, and
his width from shoulder to shoulder is not more
than fifteen inches. He is long all over. Each
of his legs would make a bean pole. and his arms
would furnish the material for two good-sized
threshing fails. His head is thin and small. but
long in proportion to his width, and he has a
long. thin nose above his long jaws, which
move up and down under it, a fit example of
perpetual motion in their mastication of to-
bacco. This long head is attached to Sena-
tor Saulsbury's shoulders by a long, thin,
skinny neck and the gray hair which falls down
upon it in a silvery fringe at the back is also
very thin. Senator Salisbury is a gooGy- good

Grace at the Restaurant Table.

A clerk and his country father entered the
restaurant on Saturday evening and took seats
at a table where sat a telegraph operator and a
reporter. The old man bowed his head and was
about to say grace when a waiter few up, sing
ing, Il have beefstake, Goldfish balls, and bull
heads Father and son gave their orders and
the former again bowed his head. The young
man turned the color of a blood red beef, and
touching his arm, exclaimed in a low, nervous
tone. Father it isn't customary to do that in
restaurants Its customary with me to return
thanks to God wherever lam" said the old man.
For the third time he bowed his head, and his
son bowed his head, and the telegraph operator
paused in the act of carving his beefstake and
bowed his head, and the journalist put back his
fshbaH and bowed his head, and there wasn't a
man who heard the short and simple prayer
that didn't feel a profounder respect for the old
farmer than if he had been the President of the
United States.

May Bloom.

Oh, for You that L never knew
Now that the Spring is swelling.
And over the way is a whitening May
In the yard OF my neighbours dwelling.
Oh, May, ohoi do your sisters blow
Out there in the country grasses
A-mocking the white Of the cloudlet light
That up in the blue sky passes!
Here in town the grass is brown,
Right under your beautiful clusters;
But your sisters thrive where the sward's alive
With emerald lights and ~lusters.

Ever to scorn my praying,
Love that / wait, face of my fate,

where distinctly told; but the tone of their let
tiers. the subjects discussed, their different points
of view, their personal relations to her, their
judgments upon her important steps in life may
all be inferred from her replies to them. Her
correspondence with her publisher throws such
a light upon her own methods of work and upon
her judgment of her work that it awakens the
wish that Mr.. Blaekwood and other pub
fishers would edit a volume Of
their correspondence with distinguished
authors. Such a volume would perhaps come as
near to admitting the curious observer irto the
minds workshop as any printed revelation can.
For a Life MI. Cross's book is startlingly
barren of anecdotes, and anecdotes which. in
telling an incident also indelibly fix a quality
are commonly an enchanting part of good biog-
raphy.
But one fancies that few anecdotes could be
told of George Eliot, who was not "a woman to
whom things happened" Doubtless, it would
be agreeable to have NJ. and Nine. LAiberts
account of George Eliot as an inmate CT their
home, and have Herbert Spencer's analysis of
George Eliot's character. Still it is not probable
that her generous hosts would acquainJ US with
a single taste, habit, opinion or quality of which
her own letters, written under their roof, leave
US ignorant. and as for Mr. Spencer's study of
George Eliot it would be more interesting as
an expose of his own character in the relation
of companion and friend than as a further rev.
citation of the great woman's life.
The life just as it is given us presents George
Eliot as woman in all the private relations
which a woman can sustain, since although de-
MED the actual experience of maternity, many
of the duties, sacrifices and rewards of ma
ternity were hers. Just as it is this life ac-
quaints us with George Eliot as student, teach
er, traveller, religionist and philosopher. Our
next article will treat of the matter of this
biography, of the woman and the genius.

THE CHICKS, ODD MOTHER.

Curious Actions of the Cat that Adopted a
Brood of Artificially Hatched Chickens.
New York Mail and Express.
Since the Mail and Express published the
account about our Office cat taking care of young
chickens, about two weeks ago, we have had
thousands of people crowding the window and
coming IN to see the sight for themselves, with
difficulty believing the fact" said the
proprietor of an incubator establishment
IN Liberty street to a reporter
this morning. But the fact remains,
and even more remarkable features Of the case
have appeared. A week or SO after the cat was
noticed to have SO much affection for the young
chicks, we put more of them underneath the in
cubator with her. They were SO many that she
was bewildered at first and seemed hardly to
know what to do with them, and they would
annoy her by pecking at her teeth and eyes and
roosting upon her back and even on her head.
But she never once attempted to injure one.
although she would administer a gentle cuff
it was noticed that when she struck them her
claws were drawn in out of sight.
But she found a way to get rid Of some Of
them In a manner that surprised US considerably.
A few days ago, when we opened the office in
the morning, what was our surprise to find sew
eral of the chicks, which had been within the
wire railing with the cat the night before, snug
ly encased under the flannel Of one of the arti-
fetal brooders at the other end of the room.
No one had touched them, and it was evident
tnat the cat naQ taken them from
one place to the other. The night
had been a rather cold one, and we could only
imagine that the cat had made the transfer in
order to keep her charges warm. We were nat
ural1y quite curious to know how she could do
this without injuring the chicks, but not until
yesterday did we discover how she did it. While
several customers were in, and the doors were
being opened a good deal, she took one of the
chicks in her mouth as near its neck as she
could get a hold, just as she would
little thing made a good deal of a fuss, the cat
jumped over the wire railing with it and landed
it safely in one of the brooders. In order to
put a stop to this, We put wire netting over the
top of the place where she sleeps with the chicks,
fastening it securely over and around her. But
this morning she had gotten the best of us
again, for she had broken a hole in the netting
during the night and had taken out some Of the
chicks; and where do you suppose she put them
this times Why, in the pigeon-holes of my
writing-desk!!'
