S. B. N. Visiting Card.
From the Philadelphia Record.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20-The wife of a
prominent public man sent out two men
servants the other day to return calls that
had been made upon her by leaving cards
at the homes of her callers. Mrs Hamilton
Fish, who, when her husband was Secretary
of State, had the largest calling list that
any woman in Washington ever had, re-
turned all calls in person-visitng $500 or
5000 in a brief season. But the new
fashion for diguitaries just coming in is to
return calls only by card either left
from carriage, which gives one tan
talizing view Of madam just as she drives
away, or IS b. n" (as Southern Senator
once wrote on a reply TO an invitation in
scribed r. $. V P.)-that is "Sent BY Mig
ger" Well, this particular Mrs Dignitary
chose the latter mode But it was a cold
day, and the cards, with which she had
plentifully supplied the darkieS, got left at
the wrong place. The messengers kept
taking "a little something hot until they
could not read the list they had been given,
and to avoid overlooking name they left
the cards at every house they came to as long
as the cards held out Madame will never
know, and neither will her callers, unless
they shall read this.

w. Fitzgerald, 500, for rent. After this
the other creditors are to be paid if
there should be any residue after
paying the costs of the sale. The
assignment was nece-sitated by the fact that
Mr. Hess had purchased more goods than he
could pay for, and the creditors would
neither receive the goods in return or give
an extension on the accounts. The liabili-
ties are estimated at Sl5, 9lj but it is not Ger
tain whether this amount will cover the en-
tire list of liabilities or not. The assets are
worth the full amount of the Indebtedness,
but at a forced sale they may not bring
more than half the sum given as liabilities

A Once Famous Bluegrass Belle.

Gen. Joe Shelby was recently in Lexington
on visit, He was at the Morgan mansion
| looking at a portrait of Miss Sallie Strother,
once n famous Bluegrass belle and afterward
the Baroness Fahnenborg, aud told a story
concerning her:
lie said that he was much in love with Miss
Strother, and became very jealous of the
attentions of the then Lieut. Gordon Granger,
who came on "A furlough from the army to
visit Lexington. and spent almost every day
with Miss Strother Gen. Shelby said he
shelby happened TO nnd a large United
States flag in this city, and he took it to his
room and wrote on it in large letters: Head
quarters of the United States army He
got a long rope and tied the flag in the middle
Of it, and, going in the night up TO the Hunt
residence, where Miss Srothcr staid, he
climbed high up in locust tree in front of
the Hunt house and tied one end Of the rope
on it, lie then took tho other end of the
rope and, climbing n tree on the other side,
stretched the nag across the street high in
air in front of Miss Srother's home. Next
morning the joke gave such publicity to the
future Gen. Changers love making that he
went away thoroughly embarrassed by the
merriment that the young men made ut his
expense.
Thirty years after Gen. Granger went into
:
Confederate. After the war had gone against
the Confederate arms Gen. Shelby retreated
with his command to Mexico to join Maxi
milan. Soon after he got on to Mexican soil,
and was lying in camp barely over the Next
can line, there came one day and Camped on
tho American side of the line a body Of Fed
eral soldiers that were evidently afraid to
violate the neutrality of Mexico by following
Shelby on TO Mexican soil. They lay in sight
of each other for three days without any COM
munication. Finally, under a flag of truce,
Shelby sent O messenger TO Changers camp
60 make some inquiries, and alaong other
things to find who was in command, and
signed his name to the communication. Gen.
read the note with SURPRISE and |
sent the messenger back with kindly note, |
which ended; Il am Gordon Granger, the |
man you drove ont of Lexington, KY, with |
a United States flag, and now have driven
you out of the United States with the same
old flag Lexington Transcript.
