portrait of the bon fiirteur Cor, of course,
the bonnie flirteuse). ''The tiirt is like an
ideal fruit or flower; Or like Won
derful bird which can only live in the
soft atmosphere of elegant assemblies.
Besides admiring this novel version, it
is impossible to pass over without
pleasure the delightful ease with which
the Figaro uses the verb flirter, to firt,
through all the various lenses. 1t be-
longs to the regular verbs, and the pres
ent tense is thus corrugated:
Je flirte ..........,.......No Nous firtons

RAILWAY WORLD.
No Agreement Reached.

CHICAGO, April f. Representatives
for the Northwestern freight lines met
to-day in Chairman Faithorn's Offices.
The result of the conference with Com
missioner Fisk was unfavorable to pro-
rating business via Chicago through to
st. Paul for the reason that Eastern
trunk lines refused to enter the pro-
posed arrangement at the present time.

doning st. Paul business to the Burling-

They Drive the Sailors Aloft and Take
 Possession of 8 Ship.
 The mate of the newly arrived British bark Douglass, from MonteVideo tells the biggest bug story of the season, and, says the Philadelphia Record, it is no romance. The voyage from the River Plata to Philadelphia was one long fight with myriads of loath- some insects, swarming up through the hatches from the cargo of bones below, more dreadful than a continuous tempest and more irrepressible than hunger on an unprovisoned raft
 Barrels of the pestiferous bugs were scooped from the vessels port, and the painful nature of the ordeal through which crew and officers had passed on the voyage was shown in their drawn countenanccs and discolored skin. A half bushel ofsmaIl crawling things, with dirty brown backs and wormy squirm, crawled about the after part of the deck as the mate told the painful story of the voyage and pointed them out as the living evidence of his narrative. "We have been fighting these torments ever since we left Montevideo," said he "and it has been painful struggle in which the crew were not always sure of a survival We lay for many days at anchor ill the River Plata awaiting an advance in freights which never came, and finally ins despair took on cargo of bones for Phila- delphia None of us win ever forget that cargo, or the voyage which followed
 The bones had been hurriedly gathered from the plains of the Argentine Republic and Uruguay, and were hurriedly lighted on board, the flesh still remaining on the in side of the skulls and on the vertebre
 We had hardly landed our Spanish pilot before unwelcome passengers began to aE- pear from below the matches and to make themselves acquainted with the halyarda. store-rooms and the sleeping apartments. When we came into the warm latitude of the equator their attacks were terrible, and a nights sleep was impossible.
 The bugs would creep through any thing and at night would crawl into our mouths and ears. Often the crew were Compelled to seek refuge in the rigging, and the men stretched hammocks between the masts to avoid the bugs.
 When the Douglass arrived here the in- sects had multiplied by the thousands, and, after the cargo had been discharged, it be- came necessary to resort to sulphur fumes to rid the vessel of them before another cargo could be taken on board BusheI after bushel of the asphyxiated pests were taken out of the hold.
 The sailors on the Douglass declare that In all their lives on the ocean ar9 ', all the stories they had heard of hings at sea, their experience on age was the strangest, and that nors .g could in- duce them to ship for the River Plata again If the return voyage shall be made with a cargo of South American bones.
