LahOuchere the Cynic.

London COrresD0ndence BOsta1l Record.
IN his youth he was in the diplomatic SER
vice, and was for some time an attache Of the
British Legation at Washington. There is Il
story told of him at this period of his career
which ind Gates his nonchaance and DISPOSE
tion for joke. A visitor called one day at the
Legation 10 see the British Minister. "IIe is
not In" said LabouChere. "Never mind; IN
take a seat and wait till he comes" The Wis
itor vas handed chair, on which he sat for
about an hour, when he became rather FESTIVE
and consulted his watch. Look here" said
he, Il can't wait forever; how mucn longer
will he be-" "WelI." said the impudent at
tache, che left for Canada thus afternoon, and
| expect him back in about six weeks
During his diplomatic career Labouchere
saw men and cities, and doubtless had
many opportunities for observing the shadier
side OF human character. No man of
our time has had more varied knowledge of
the world. ana IL Is no wonder he became
somewhat Of cynic. But there is no bitter
ness in his cyniclsm; IL il OF a gay aud light
order. Under the outward garb Of cyniclsm
and light raillery, there Is, II m stake not. a
large fund OF genuine human feeling, Mr..
Lauouchere's constant exposure OF abuses
and injustice, especially in the administra-
ton Of the law, IA beyond all praise. Every
faithless public officer, every stupid or vindic-
tive mag strate, every unfair judge will be
subjected TO HE merciless criticism; and his
pen Is always ready TO support the cause of

severe on guttonOus Aldermen and on the

day about the late Jacob Lansing Van Deu-
sen, OF Kingston City, by lady who knew
him, when he re ided at Montague, n. J. The
Old gen tleman's garden furnished an immen-e
crop OF daisies. The da sies were "a thing of
beauty" to be sure, but that as their only
recommendation, and Dir. Van Deusen want

Van Deusen was particularly vigilant in eX

up a eoodly pile of the pretty weed" when
five "city boarders." who had arrived in Mon
tague the night before, suddenly hove in sight.
When the Ladies caught sight of the great
mass of goiden-eyed daisies, which the board
ers supposed were being picked for the New
York market, they burst out into exclama-
tiOns of admiration at their rare size ana
beauty.
The old gentleman went on with his work,
but TIT re was look of Keen amusement and
humor IN his eyes, showing only too p.alnlY

Mr.. Van Deusen looked at the five appli-
Giants, and then at the great pile of desplsed
daisies and said, dryly:
Lets see; how mauy are there of you, five?
Well. ladies, If you'll Just } to work and help
me pull them up Ill give you 25c. an hour for

The ladies seemed to enjoy the situation i'm
mensely, and they spent the entire morning in
the garden pulling daisies and chatting with
their entertaining host, and drinking huge
draughts of delicious cream. When they re-
turned to their boarding house each c ,rred a

A Million Dollar FIRE.

A disastrous fire occurred III large
brick and stone structure at the corner OF
Congress and Wabash ave, in Chicago
early the other morning. The loss vii
approximate fully one million dollars.
Among the principal losers are the pub
fishers, Belford Clarke q Co, and the
arge book bndery firm OF Donohue
Henncberry. The structure in which the
fire originated is at the northwestern
corner of the two thoroughfares
and was six stories in hight.
The origin of the fire is not known, but
il is supposed it started in the engine
room in the northwest corner of the base
mcnt, and as the building was full of
elevator shafts, which acted as so many
hues, it took the flames but few minutes
to spread through the structure and seize
on the infammable material with which it
was filed Every floor was filled with
heavy machinery, the top floor alone con-

The DYNAMITE Conspiracy.

The grand jury is now in possession OF
all the material facts in the dynamite con-

ton shows the guilty parties TO be August
Spies Schwab, Parsons and Fielden. Evil
dence that would implicate others, not
yet apprehended, and among them the
man who hurled the bomb, has been with
held by the authorities for their own
reasons. The testimony makes it plain
that for months past the anarchists had
been secretly preparing to attack the
police with dynamite and other agents OF
destruction. The jury desired to know
the extent OF this conspiracy before in
dieting the lesser conspirators whose guilt
might be equal TO the others if the evidence
was forthcoming. The police, many of the
jurors thought, were keeping something
back, perhaps 70 make their case the
stronger when brought INTO court. One
juror said THE evidence is overwhelm-
ing, but he meant the evidence against
the elder Spies Schwab, Fielder and Par
sons. There Is little evidence thus far
that would warrant the jury in indicting
Lingg and three or four others for the
named. At the same time there is good
reason TO believe Lingg, and his followers
are as guilty as the other crowd.
