Mr.. Depew.s After Dinner Speech.

It is 0 o'clock now. We are in Del
monico's, and Mr.. Depew is at the center
of a long table on the raised dais at the
end Of the room.
Suppose we remain and see how the
speech is prepared that we shall read to-
morrow in all the morning papers, and
which will convulse with laughter this
evening a roomful of lucky guests. The
half hours play has done more to dissi-
pate the fatigue of the day than any tonic
that was ever hrewed. Now that every
thing is quiet the preparation is begun.
The subject Of the speech is carefully
considered and the points which are TO
be made are fixed in logical order IN the
speakers mind.
"Are no notes to he nader you ask.
No, In after dinner speeches Mr.. De-
pew has long since given up that prac-
tice rs a rule. He trusts TO his feet for

AN APPETITE FOR GLASS.

How the Alleged Glass Eaters Deceive
the Credulous Public.
Several gentlemen were discussing the
other evening at an uptown cafe the PEE
culiar appetites that museum freaks have
lately displayed for glass. They were
wondering if the sharp particles were di-
gested, and n Of the party said that the
whole thing was a fake"
''Why," said the knowing one, 1.-The
trick is ancient. I've seen it done hun

deliberately lit OFT a piece. which he
chewed with the utmost complacencv.
When it was reduced TO the ugoper fine

water and, 10 all appearances, washed
down the rather unpleasant dish with
apparently IS much satisfaction as if the
particles ct glass were delicate bits of

A CROWD TO SEE THE DUKE.
Marlborough Wasn't Recognized, but
Mr.. Semple was Embarrassed.
From the Ne,c York Sun.

From the NetC York Sun.
1t was an animated scene yesterday morn
ing under the iron girders of the Cunard
dock while the big steamer Aurania yas
making preparation to sail. The crush of
delicate summer toilettes was bewildering,
and where there was one pretty girl who
had come to sob over a separation from
father, mother, or lover there were at least
twenty who had braved the early rising
and the throng with the single object of
witnessing the embarkation of the duke of
Marlborough and his bride, whose marriage
was announced in the S1t1 yesterday. Those
who had escorts pestered them with entreat-
les to point out the duke the moment he APP
peared, and each assured his pretty COM
panion that he knew the duke well and it
would be impossible for him to slip by with
out being recognized.
Suddenly it was whispered, They're
coming and all those who could crowded
around the gangplank, while others who
had already mounted the deck of the
steamer blocked the way above. A tall,
distinguished blocking man, with handsome
lady on his arm, was pressing his way
toward the ship The pair had evidently
walked the whole length of the pier, and
the crowd murmured sincerely: "My,
what democracy" At this the tall man
blushed, and IN his embarrassment STUN
bled over the gangplank, nearly capsizing
the lady, who laughed outright. AS the
pair disappeared beneath the steamers
deck the information got abroad that the
gentleman was Assistant District Attorney
Sample, and the crowd laughed good
humoredly at its mistake.
The spectators were still poking fun at
each other over their mistake when a closed
carriage drove up before the steamer and
gentleman plainly dressed in a suit of gray
tweed and wearing a black silk hat de-
scended He assisted lady to alight, and
together made their way aboard the
steamer, while the crowd looked on
alphabetically, without the remotest idea
that they we're the duke and duchess Of
Marlborough. 1t was just 10 by the ships
clock as the duchess stepped aboard the
Aurania. She wore a walking scit of gar
net silk, trimmed with black lace, black
lace bonnet, and buff Suede gloves A
pearl pin fastening the black bonnet strings
under her chin was the only ornament
The black dress SCI off her beauty strik-
ingly. There was delicate flush upon her
cheek, and she turned heF,Sface eastward
with happy smile. Theuuke also looked
contented and happy.
Once on the deck the duke led the way 10
the captains room, which, with the one ad-
joining, will be occupied by the pair during
the voyage. When he had made his wife
he went off to search for the
friends who had come aboard TO bid them
God speed. These were for the most part
the same who had witnessed the marriage
including Arthur Leary, Leonard Jerome,
Mrs. Eugene Cr1ger, Creighton Webb, Mrs
Cooper Hewitt and Miss Hewitt, Mrs Z. N.
Taller and Mrs. Nicholas Fish. He found
them all and brought them TO the duchess,

The Aquarium's Happy Family"

In my largest aquarium five gold and
silver fish, several sinners, three minute
bullheads and a few tiny rock bass, found
at the bottom of a deep well, dwelt ami.
cably together. Two small turtles and
three varieties Of snail kept them com.
pany. All went merry as a marriage
bell until | introduced a stickleback to
the assembled crowd. This wee monster
proved the quintessence of malicious In
dustry, nibbling the fins and tails of my
choicest fish into an uneye fringe in an
incredibly short time.
The brilliant, apaline coloring OF the
suniish makes them specially attractive,
but these ferocious creatures must have
a tank TO themselves. Ny fish came in
time to know me, and although nearly
all were shy of strangers, at a tap Of my
fingers on the glass they would sally from
their hiding places and cluster together.
Sometimes ! fancied that even the snails
recognized me; be that as il may, the
intelligence Of my hardshell turtles was
an u%ndoubted fact. One of them would
manage by adroit climbing to somersault
himself out Of the aquarium OF TO the
floor, where he strayed contentedly about,
until a certain member of the family en-.
tering he would follow him from room
to room. wherever he went. Six soft
shell turtles from the Mississippi hanks
had special quarters Of their own, and as
genuine curiosities, were often the OBJ

Bonds of Lesser Denomination.

The denominations and the distribution
Of railway bonds deserve criticism. Ordi.
narily the denominations are $500 and
1000, but $40, 900 bonds are not un.
common and some are issued for 500,
900. These denominations hinder the
wide distribution Of the securities among
the people, because they are too large to
secure purchasers among persons Of
moderate means. Only the rich can
afford $500 or 81, 900 investments; many
people Of less means would gladly invest
in safe railway securities of $50 or 500
denominations.
To reduce the denominations Of rail-
way bonds would enlarge materially the
home market for them. 1t would civ.

Luck Saved the Trains.

l remember some years ago when I
had charge Of trains on a southern road.
where telegraph offices Were few and far
between, of giving an order TO the oper-
ator at a certain station to hold the north
bound passenger train for orders, so that
I might help the south bound passenger
train to make its meeting point, the latter
being somewhat late, The operator re-
peated the holding order, for which I
gave him o. h. ! then gave the south
bound train an order to use some Of the
north bound trains time TO make the
meeting point. Instead Of holding the
north bound train for orders the oper-
ator let it go by him. Tie road was
crooked. and as both trains were be-
tween telegraph stations | started to walk
the floor and wait until | should hear OF
their coming together, The suspense was
terrible, almost uniting me for my other
duties. As good luck would have il. the
north bound train, which had undisputed

reaching the meeting point. When the
first train reached a telegraph station |
felt relieved. but the strain had been so
terrible IN my nerves that | was not good

rience Of that morning will ever remain
