Likely story of a BustIe.

When bustles first came into fash
ion, certain society lady in Mime.
apolis, who is apt to carry things a
little to extremes in matters of dress,
had one made to order. She insisted
that it should be a large one, and it
was. 1t was SO gigantic, in fact, that
it was relegated to the attic. But in
the course Of time it came to pass that
bustles were worn larger and larger,
and having need of a new one, the
lady bethought herself of the airy net
work that she had once discarded.
Down it came from the attic, and it
proved "just hssr size." But the hustle
was Inhabited. A cunninglyconstructed
nest reposed inside, and a fast grow
ing and inquisitive family of mice
poked out their pink noses to resent
the rude disturbance. The lady, re-
markable to relate, had not the tradi-
tional feminine fear If mice. She
bravely wore the hustle, mice and all.
AS the days passed on her strange
pets became very tame. She had q
small aperture made in her dresi
over the tow Of her hustle, covered
with a convenient plat. and it is hel
chief delight to terrorize her friends
by calling forth the mice from theil

people. Their efforts thus far have
been very successful. All kinds of
improvements, and some of them of
an expensive nature, are going on,
and East Los Angeles to-day presents a
more thriving appearance than before
the enterprising citizens established
their Board of Trade. An educational
college, a hotel and several manufac-

r. A. TrOllOpc's Impressions of
the Novelist.


She was not, as the world in gen.
eral is aware, handsome or even a
reasonable woman. Her face was
long; the eyes not large or beautiful
in color-they were, 1 think, of a
grayish blue, the hair, which she
wore in old-fashioned braids coming
low down on either side of her face,
of a rather light brown. 1t
was streaked with gray when
last I saw her. Her figure was
of middle height, large-boned and
powerful. Lewes often said that she
inherited from her peasant ancestors
frame and constitution originally
very robust. Her head was finely
formed, with a noble and well-bal-
anced arch from brow to crown. The
lips and mouth possessed power of
infinitely varied expression. George
lewes once said to me when l made
some observation to the effect that she
had a sweet face Il meant that the
face expressed great tsweetness): "You
might soy what sweet hundre faces
Llook at her sometimes in amazement.
Her countenance is always changing "
The said lips and mouth were distinct
ly sensuous in form and fullness.
Her speaking voice was, think,
one of the most beautiful l ever
heard, and she used it Conscientious
ly, if / may say so. mean that she
availed herself Of its modulations to
give thrilling emphasis to what was
profound in her utterances, aud sweet
ness to what was gentle or playful.
She bestowed great care, too, on her
enunciation, disliking the slip-shod
mode of pronouncing which is
so common. 1 have several
times heard her declare with
enthusiasm that ours is beautiful
language, a noble language even to
the ear, when properly spoken, and
initiate with disgust the short ,snappy,
inarticulate way in which some peo-
pie utter it.-(From "What Re-

sentence under his conviction for
violation Of the National Bank Law,

was sentenced to the Penitentiary for
seven years and two months. He
appeared broken down from illness,
but did not manifest any deep emo

When the Judge was saying that it
would be better for him to be at Co.

county jail, because he would not
have to pay there for the extra at
tendance he might require, he inter-
rupted the Judge to say that that dis
advantage had been removed by the
jailor, who had ceased to make extra

A Moral Guide to the stage

A Belgian manager, struck with the
difficulty good fathers and mothers
experience in choosing harmless iper-
formances for their children, has hit
upon novel way Of informing the
public of the character of the pieces
played at his theater. He prints his
bills in different colors, indicating the
nature of his theatrical wares. For
example, red bill indicates that the
play is pernicious; white bill, that
it is moral, and blue one, that it is
half and half. By this system he says
paterfamilias will be able to see at a
glance whether he ought to take his
sons and daughters or not. The same
manager reserves yellow bills fol
