 The tall man vanished with tender reluctance. The short man staid 8 while longer, and as he passed out he said to Captain Barney, the manager of the panorama "Who was the old veteran wuz talkin' to?"
 "Oh," said the captain, smiling, "that is Pete Sampson, sort of crank who hangs around here and lies. He has lived in Omaha for the past thirty five years. All the old-timers know him."

He Was From the West.
Paris Letter.


 The following story is going the rounds of the Paris papers:
 A few days ago a middle. aged man in decidedly homespun attire, wearing felt hat much the worse for wear, and carrying an umbrella of the un- fashionable description, entered the shop of one of the leading jewellers in the expensive Rue de Ia Paix and asked to see "river" of diamonds, as the large, broad necklaces are techni- cally called.
 The ieweler, very polite, but trifle distrustful of the pecuniary ability of his peculiar looking customer, showed one of the least resplendent "rivers" in his collection: in fact it was little more than brook. The stranger pushed it aside.
 ''Ohl I want something better than that" he remarked, with strong trans Atlantic accent, and without troubling himself to inquire the price.
 The jeweler than opened large casket and displayed a real "river," but in manner that said very plainly /: "Take care, my good man; this was not made for you"
 "Monsieur, this is worth 30,00O francs" was what he really said.
 "Take it away" said the stranger, pushing it aside as he had done the first. ''I want something stylish. Real stylish, you understand. It's for a lady"
 "Mon Dieu.' ejaculated the aston- ished shopman, who did not suppose the gift was intended for a gentleman, I could show you another, but, un- fortunately, it has just been purchased by the wife of an ambassador, and it's worth S0,00O francs"
 The man from the west seemed dis appointed, and again asked whether there was nothing really first class in the shop. He was rewarded for his perseverance by sight of a necklace, the majority of the stones in which were purchased at the sale of the crown jewels last May.
 This, now, will cost you 100000 francs, or, if you take the other two pieces that go with it, the lot will be 22o,000 francs. To get anything hand somer than that you will have to or- der it in advance"
 "I am sorry" remarked the "nil admirarp stranger, "because this, you know, isn't really first class. How ever, as I can't wait, Pll make it answer You may send it around. That's my address"
 The jeweler took the card handed to him, and when he had read the name was most profuse in apologies for not having recognized his wealthy cus- toner. It was one of the heaviest capitalists of the "Wild West" whose portrait, it is said, is to figure in the approaching Paris salon.

Snake Story.
Exchange.

Alter reading travellers yarns in re- gard to tropical countries, one is in- clincd to long for sojonrn in Iceland, for the reason that "there arc no snAkes' In that frigid but happy ooun- try. Mir. Ballou, In his wAnderings "Under the Southern Cross" has found ono more unpleasant item for reptile literature.
 In Sydney he heard tho following snake story, the facts of which oc- cured not long before, near the town ot Parametta. In the family of sct- tier who resided some half a league from tho town was an invalid daugh- ter, of an extremely nervous tempcra- ment.
 She was sleeping, ono summer stter- noon, in a hammock swung between two supporting standards in tho shade of the piazza, when she was suddenly swsseneS. by feeling something cold and moist clinging about her throat.
 She put her hand to the spot, and clasped the body of snake just back of it's head, and, with horritled cry, wrenohed with all her strength to pull 1t away. This was tho first in- stinctive action ot the moment, but so great was her terror that she speedily lost all consc iousness of the situation.
 Her hand, however. still grasped the snake where she had first seized upon it, and with such q eonvulsive force that tho creature was rendered powerless. The cry of tine terrified girl brought the father from within the house, who instantly came to her relief; but In the flo which her fright had induced, her hand slowly con- tracted about the crcaturu's throat with force which she could not pos- sibly have exerted when awake, and before her fingers were unclasped, by the aid of bit of hammock cord, the reptile was completely stranglesi.
 Fortunately, the creature had not bitten the girl before she seized 1t, and after that 1t was unable to do 20. It is said 10 hay" been four feet long, and of a poisonous species.

aYes, I shall break the engagement.

"Yes, shall break the engagement" 1" she said, folding her arms and looking defiant "it Is really too much trouble to converse with him; he's as deaf as post, and talks like he had mouth- ful of mush. Besides, the way he hawks and spits Is disgusting" Don't break the engagement for that; tell him to take Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rem edy. It will cure him completely" l" "Well, I'll tell him. I do hate to break 1t of, for in all other respects he's quite too charming" Of course, it cured his catarrh.

Modest oliver Goldsmith.

Harper's Magazine.
After Goldsmith had written the
''Vicar of Wakefield'' he rose consider
ably in the estimation of blunt old DIR.
johnson, who extolled the book to the
skies. GoldSmith's natural mOdeStY
made the enthusiastic praise of his
work exceedingly painful to him. and
he invariably did his best in self-depre-
citation when his friend began sounding
his praises.
Upon one occasion Johnson, Boswell
and Goldsmith were lunching together
n Fleet street chop-house, when an
acquaintance of JohnSOn'S entered, and,
approaching the group, grasped the
doctors hand, and asked him how he
did.
"Sir," said the doctor, with his ac-
customed. courtesy, Il don't" Then
turning towards Goldsmith, who was
trying to hide behind bottle of WOr-
cesterShire sauce, he rOared out: "AIr.
Robinson, permit to introduce my
friend Goldsmith. Goldsmith is the
author of the Vicar of Wakefield,
you know"
Indeed" cried Robinson, with a
pleased smile.
Are you the author of that delight
full wOrk?"
"N-no, sir, p-please, sir" replied
Goldsmith, overcome with shame.
The effect of this reply upon DR..
johnson may be better imagined than
described.

ONLY THREE BRIDAL PAIRS
Appeared to Adorn the Exposition We'd
ding Day.
THE OTHERS DID NOT WAIT.
The Second Lachmund Juvenile Con-
eert---The Floral Display At
tracts Admiration.

The attendance at the Exposition yes
terday was gratifyingly large. During
the day crowds of visitors from outside
the city passed the turnstiles, and the
amphitheater during the concert was
filled nearly to its full capacity.
In the evening an immense audi
ence witnessed the ceremony which
caused six hearts to beat as three. The
happy event occurred at $50 o'clock
upon the balcony in front of the band
stand. The strains of the Swedish
wedding march from Cappa's band was
the signal of the approach of the we'd
ding party, and the sea of faces that
lined the light well on the second
and third floors was turned in
the direction of the aisle leading to the
platform. First came Rev. Nj. ID:
Shutter, and then followed the bridal
couples. When the latter appeared, 10!
there were but three. The hand OF i've
had been bobtailetl. 1t seems that Mark
Henry and Louisa Alcott, the
fifth couple, had concluded not
to wait the pOmp and vanity
of an Exposition wedding. but had
skipped and welded in secrecy and
haste. The parents of the bride knew
nothing OF the approaching marrldge
until recently, and then their wrath
broke out, to avoid which the couple
fled. c. E. Molten and Barbara Olsen
were to have been the fourth
couple, but they failed to put
in an appearance. However, the
festivity of the scene could not be
married by a little thing like that, and
the wedding ceremony proceeded just
the same. The other three couples came
promptly and Smilingly to the scratch:
They were: Eivind Tessli and
Serena BrOnseth;s Andrew Heltgren
and Katrina Anderson, Herman Oster-
berg and Mathilda BlOndquiSt. Bride
groom Tessli wore sailors uniform,
while Bride Anderson was gorgeous IN
a wedding apparel of white, with a
huge crown Of gilt paper. The others
were gotten up IN their Sunday best
and plainly showed it.
At the conclusion of the simple cere-
mony the band played "What Shall the
Harvest Be?" and the audience, reallZ-
ing the appropriateness of the selection,
applauded. A wedding supper was
served by Eugene Mehl in the dining
room, of which the four bridal couples
partook. The tables were beautifully
decorated. and bountiful repast was
served. The presents, mention of which
has been made, were numerous, and
embraced many useful articles.

ENGLAND's TENNIS Player.
The Girls Go to See Champion Lot
tie bod and Get Points on Style

The Girls Go to See Champion Lot
tie bod and Get Points on Style.
1t is quite a fad with society girls to
90 in parties to see Lottie bod play ten
mis-. The numerous open tournaments
hereabouts have recently brought the
famous young lady champion where the
London girls could conveniently go to
see her play and get points OH style.
They could scarcely choose a better
model of girliSh gree and ease. Miss
bod is the very embodiment of healthy
English girl accustomed to robust eXer-
else in the open air. She is but eigh-
teen years old, though she is as well de-
VelOped as most women OF five and tWen-
ty. Miss bod is little above the medium
height, her head well set on pair of
solid shoulders, good muscular biceps
and an admirable figure. Her jet-black
hair and eyes and oval face give her the
appearance of a southern girl" to
borrow an expression from the states.
When Miss bod picks up her racquet
and trips over the smooth lawn ready
for "play," the English girls who know
the fine points of tennis applaud her as
warmly as New Workers at the polo
grounds applaud Buck Ewing when he
picks up the bat.
Miss bod began to play tennis when
she was ten years old on her fathers
lawn at Birkenhead, across the river
from Liverpool. For eight years she
has travelled all over England, Scotland
and Ireland, winning prize after prize,
until her home is literally StOrehOuse
of trophies. Last year she wrested the
lady championship from Miss Maud
Watson, who had never been beaten at
singles until she tried conclusions with
Miss bod. This year she is play
ing with a dash that can scarcely fail
to retain her proves. Even the famous
RenShaW brothers, who are considered
well-nigh invincible on the tennis court,
have all they can do to hold their own
against Miss Dodd. She plays what is
called very severe game. Her returns
are not difficult to take, but she seldom
misses stroke. A London girl asked
her the other day the secret of her sue
cess. "Well,' said the pretty cham
pioness, Il never lose my head in a
game, and experience has taught me
never to lose my temper. L think ten
mis- is capital game to teach girl self
control"
Some American girls who saw Miss
bod play this season, and met her at a
garden party. invited her to cross the
sea and visit them. 1t would be inter-
esting to see what she could do against
Miss Adeline Robinson, of the Staten
Island club, the lady champion of
America. She might even make it in
teresting for Sears and SlOcum.

SOMETHING FOR ALL.

The Encampment Endorses the
Proposition for a Service PEN
sion.
By a vote of 400 to % the National en-
campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic this evening endorsed the
proposition of a service pension. The
resolutions as carried read as follows:
Resolved, That il is the sense of this en-
cGmpment that the time has come when the
soldiers and sailors of the war for the pres
ervation Of the Union should receive the
substantial and merited recognition of this
government by granting them service pen
sion in accord with established usage; and,
furtner:
Resolved. That this encampment favors
the presentation of bill TO congress to give
every soldier, sailor, or marine of the army
or navy Of the United States between April,
1861, and July, 1863, for the period of sixty
days or more, a service pension of So per
month, and to all who served a period eX-
ceeding 800 days an additional amount of
cent per day for each days service exceed
Ing that period
Your committee also earnestly advocate
the passage of a bill placing widows of the
soldiers, sailors and marines on the pension
list without regard to time of the service or
the cause Of the soldiers death.
Your committee further report that we do
not withdraw our repeated approval of the
bill now before congress, which was pro-
posed and Endorsed by the national pension
committee, known as the disability pension
bill.
Discussion was cut short by a demand
for the previous question and vote was
taken on the adoption of the minority
report. The result was ayes 80, nays
156. A vote was next taken on the
majority report and it was adopted by a
vote of 42O to %. Fully one-third of the
delegates failed to record their votes on
the question. A greater part of the two
sessions was occupied in the discussion
of the subject.
IT CROPPED UP INCIDENTALLY
when nominations for cOmmander-in-
chief were in order. Gen. n. Martin
Curtis, of New York, candidate for
the position of cOmmandeT-in-chIef,w who
gained the floor for the purpose of with
drawing his name, but forgot to do it,
made a vigorous speech. He told
the convention that its deliberations
ought to be more specific; that if
they favored the per diem bill they
ought to say so and to elect com
mander-in-chief who was of the same
mind, and that such a man would secure
the forty votes of New York. Gen.
Louis Wagner, of Philadelphia, in sec
onding the nomination of Congressman
Warner, inSinuated, amid consider
able uproar, that Curtis. in his speech,
had been simply fishing for votes.
He hoped, he said, that Warner would
not go upon the stage and make such
exhibitions as those that had preceded
him. Corporal Tanner followed with a
defense of the work of the pension COM
mittee. He spoke strongly in favor of
dependent pension bill.
