A Swell in a Dilemma.

Washington Letter.
A good story is going the rounds of the clubs
concerning a young artillery officer who has an
eye for female beauty. Il is said that in his
rambles about Lafayette Park he had frequently
remarked an uncommonly pretty girl who was
always in charge of four or fve-year-old child,
out for her airing Somehow an acquaintance
was easily scraped with the infant, and, coIae-
quently, with her pretty and intelligent attend
ant
The gentleman in question is a bowling swell
of the first water, and is very great favorIte in
the extremely exclusive circles he affects. One
lovely evening last week he bethoughs himself
that he had not called on the charming miss
who lives in one of the handsomest residences on
Connecticut avenue-for several days. Pre-
pairing himself for conquest, he daintily danced
up the steps of his charmers mansion, and. ring
ing the bell, awaited the coming of servant
Some one came directly. It was in the gloam-
ing. as it were so he could not see clearly, but,
greatly to his amazement, he heard a gentle
voice saying: IF you please, sir. come down
stairs; l receive my callers in the kitchen"
His fair one of the park had answered the bell,
and without waiting for any remarks, concluded
the call was meant for her. The worst of it all
is that the young lady of the house was sitting
by the drswing-room window and. seeing the
gentleman come up the steps, thought she would
open the door for him herself, and made her APP
pearance just in time to hear the conversation
which ensued. Tableau, tabseau!

Irving and Terry.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
The trip which Henry Irving and Ellen Terry
ara now fairly started upon Is o short one in
time, considering its length, even for travellers
as persistent as the English actor and the brill
liant actress who brings with her her young
daughter. Mr.. Irving counts on reaching New
York at the latest by Monday next, and he has
made engagements for each of the four or five
days which follow before he starts on yachting
trip as the guest of Mrs. Benoni Lockwood, of
New York, on the Glimpse, Mr.. Lockwood's
yacht The party is to be small one, includ-
ing few, if any, besides Mr.. Irving Miss Terry
and their hosts The trip is to extend from New
York, by way of Newport, northward,
and, as Mr.. Irving's stay is limited to
five or six weeks. shorter rather than
longer, it is pretty plain that no
long trip is possible. with much time left for
other engagements before he returns to England
in early September. Mrs Lockwood, who en-
tertains Mr. Irving and Miss Terry, is, it is
scarcely necessary to remind any one, Secretary
Bayards sister, and woman Of presence and
position in society her own account from
Newport to Washington. The very remarkable
and deserved social success which Miss Terry
enjoyed on her previous professional trips to
this country was due, as far as New York at
least was concerned in great measure to the
support and championship of Mr.. Lockwood,
who has never since ceased to let her friends
and the world understand that Miss Ellen Terry,
In all that related to her position on this side of
the Atlantic, was under the protection and en-
joyed the friendship of Mrs, Lockwood, than
whom better social sponsor it would be hard
to find and not easy to equal

Well, We should Remark.

Cn1CeRO News
What we remarked of the Rev. Sam Jones sew
eral monthe ago is becoming the general opinion
now, as we see it expressed in divers exchanges.
We said that Mr.. Jones was a common scole and
a slangy one. and we predicted that he could not
long retain his hold on public popularity. There
is nothing more tedious than slang-there is
nothing that wears out sooner or drops further.
Mr.. Jones is a slangwhanger; his rambunctious
speeches do not please us-they simply make US
feel sorry for Mr.. Jones and for the cause he rep
resents. We do not believe that the Christian
religion should be dragged down to the gutter;
the habitues of the gutter, we think, should
rather be raised to the dignity and the purity of
that religion. We approve of no methods that
calculated TO abate TO the extent of one iot

divinity and the worship of divinity have always
been invested And it speaks we'll for the re-
ligious sentiment of the people of our country

faction with the situation prevails everywhere
There has been no boom in any department Of
trade. but q steady demand, which is much bet
ter. The country tributary to this market has
garnered good crop of wheat and oats and is

unexceptionable. and Congress has adjourned.
giving the country assurance of at least four
months safety from any interference with the
tariff or national finances. With all these acces
series to prosperous and undisturbed business,
dealers feel greatly encouraged. There is no
disposition anywhere to purchase goods for spec
ulative purposes, but the regular consumptive
demand is expected to be fully large enough
during the coming autumn to absorb
the products Of the mills and factories,
as we'll as the imports from abroad.
Groceries continue steady. The feeling in cof
fees is very firm, but prices are unchanged.
With only light demand, the sugar market re-
tains its firmness Molasses is dull, and rice in
only moderate request. There is an ample sup
ply of creamery butter. but good grades of dairy
are scarce, while the low grades are in good sup
ply and not wanted Fruits and vegetables are
abundant and cheap.

sunday-school rheaters.

New YORK Tribune.
They do queer things sometimes in Sunday
schools. In one Suuday-school not long ago a
dramatic performance entitled Joseph and His
Brethren" was given. The brethren were
noticeable for their gorgeous but impossible
costumes. and Joseph dressed in crazy quilt,
was taken up from pew which represented a
pit. In another Sunday school recently boy
was strapped to bench, and the superintendent
pointed to him as Isaac just about to be offer
ed up" 1t would be we'll for the Sunday school
assemblies this summer to discuss the propriety
of these performances.
