mamma and her lover. Mr. Francis is a

His willful daughter was engaged to be
married to a gentleman of quality, who

mansion of diminutive proportions, and

Mr.. Waiter sent out his invitations and
among others mailed one to barber in New

WELD his scepter over the faces of congress
men in the house shop. He had known and

and seems more baggy at the knees than
formerly. Senator Butler, the wag of the
senate, says that Van Wyck wears baggy
pants to prevent people from seeing how
much disagreement there is between his
knees. They never come INTO contact with
each other. and are not on speaking ac-
duainLance. However, the senator's ideas

entertaining cOnversa tionalists in the city.
W .thOnt any pretense to hOlnelineSs, he
manages to be as unlike Apollo as possible
in appearance. but as Chesterfeldlan in
manner as Chesterfield himself. The ladies

that the young lady will probably leave her

says one of the young maShers of this city.
when you go into the barracks all of the
girls look sour and tired. Just before the
services close they get the vinegar out of
their faces. and begin to smile and look
aronnd like young husband hunters at a
country singing school. Their grins and
sm les are broad and open as church doors,
and their glances are as bright and sug-

adjusted his tie and went gaIly forth more
hearts to crush. One Of the most
BEAUTIFUL AND POPULAR
ladies' of our haut ton has become infatuated
with Prof. c. The great nleSmerist has
gained such complete possession of the
yOung lady that she not only goes upon the
stage at every performance. but has called
at his hotel several times to see him. The
professor has kindly told the parents of the
Young lady of her conduct and requested
them to look after her during his stay in the
CITY 1t seems that on the evening of his
first performance the young lady was one of
the number who went upon the stage when
volunteers We're called for. and the meSlner-
ist made his subjects go through a love
scene in which they became very affec-
tonate and proposed marriage and all that
sort of thing, greatly to the amusement Of
the audience. When the others were re-
covered and dismissed the young lady re-
fused to leave the stage. and flinging her
arms around the neck of the professor
told him that she loved him and would die
without him. and all that sort Of
LOVERS TALK.
Her brother calne upon the stage and COM
PEELED her to go home with him. The pro-
fessOr was evidently not blamable for the
exceedingly sensitive character of his sub
ject. and no cenSure is cast upon him. But
the circumstance is such peculiar one that
it would be well for young ladies to bear it
in mind and beware of mesmerists. 1t will
be intel esting to ladies TO know that the
question of whether Methodists can dance
has been finally settled. The Methodist
church has a strong hold in the Northwest,
and when the snow lies snngly to the
ground and revivals and balls are in season.
it is important for the good young people to
know what is the proper caper One round
dozen of Methodist preachers have been in
terviewed bv their congregations. or mem
bers of their churches. on the subject of
dancing. and they have finally decided it.
Six of the clergymen decide that no one can
go to heaven who dances Six others have
decided that There is
NO HARM IN DANCING,
unless it be carried to excess" 1t has been
agreed by all the young ladies that the !
better half of the preachers have struck the !
right gait. and that it is right to dance. |
They have all decided not to dance to tx
cess, and therefore balls will catch more Of /
them than revivals. AS soon as the month |
of official mourning for the eX-president is |
past Mrs. Cleveland has prom ised the ladies !
of the cabinet that she will plan and par |
tjciDate in MANY festivities of the season. !
The state dinners. public receptions and
official hospitalities which are necessary to
her position will be supplemented with
many gayet.es, which will not only do
honor to the personal friends who will visit
Mrs Cleveland from her old home. but
also do credit to the wife of the president
as well as to his administration. Society

made many a great man small. Martin
