A work of ART Rutued,

A beautiful lady in Paris, belong
ing to the diplomatic circle. lately
met with a most peculiar accident at
O ball, to the intense delight Of her
"bcsom friends" of the fair ser.
The lady in question wore q low
bodied dress of artistic design, which
attracted general admiration, but
what most riveted the attention of
the ball guests were her shoulders
dazzling white. Suddenly her
brooch, q splendid cameo. became
unfastened, dropped to the floor and
broke to pieces. In her alarm the
fair owner quickly stopped to pick
up the fragments, but this rapid
movement caused something still
more valuable to fall to the floor,
viz: a portion of the charming
white shoulders of the lady. a piece
of mass resembling porcelain, deli
cately touched up in blue and pink.
The gentlemen gazed in blank as
constituent at the damaged beauty,

Allen q. Thurman,

In his recently published "Twenty
Years in Congress-" Mr.. James q.
Blaine speaks OF Mr.. Thurman as fol.
lows:
His rank in the Senate was estab-
lished from the day he took his seat,
and was never lowered during his pc
riod of his service. He was an admir-
ably disciplined debater, was fair
in his method OF statement, logi-
cal in his argument, honest in his con-
illusions. He had no tricks in discus
sion, no catch phrases to secure atten-
ton but was always direct and manly.
His mind was not preoccupied and en-
crossed with political contests or at
fairs of the State. He had natural and
cultivated tastes outside Of those fields.
He was a discriminating reader and en-
joyed not only serious books, but in
clined also to the indulgence of ro-
mance and poetry. He was especially
fond of the best French writer's. He
loved Moliere and Racine, and could
quote with rare enjoyment the humor-
Gus scenes depicted by Balzac. He
took pleasure in the drama, and was
devoted to music. In Washington he
could usually be found in the best seat
OF the theatre when a good play was
to be presented or an opera was to
be given. His retirement from the
Senate was a serious loss to his party
"a loss indeed to the body. He left
behind him the respect OF all with
whom he had been associated during
his twelve years of honorable service"

Paid for the Damage,

The most curious part Of hu-
msnity is popularity supposed to be
the feminine half. An incident at
Elk street market the other day
showed that this rule, like most
others, has its exceptions. A large,
well-dressed man strolled into O
commission house. He had an air
Of culture and seemed to be ponder
ing over the limitless possibilities of
human life. A bushel basket of eggs
stood near the door. The stranger
gazed at the eggs. He lifted his
foot and let it down firmly with
commendable resolution on top OF
the eggs. Then he tried to crush
the eggs, and with no inconsiderable
success. The proprietor rushed out.
"See here, what in the name of the
seven devils are you doing?" "Oh,
l only wanted to see how it would
seem to stand on this basket of eggs"
said the man calmly. You'll set

called upon to speak OF the annoy

"Oh, I'll stop that" was the reply,
"I1l warrant you that no one leaves

he arose to speak he introduced his
sermon with the following:
"My friends, before | begin my SER

A prominent official OF the Treas

his table a prominent South Carolina

several times by his host with some
exceedingly fine sauterne of which the
host was particularly proud. The

down at a single gulp every time. Still
he did not seem to enjoy his wine very
much. The host, turning to him,
finally said:
"How do you like that wine, Judge

A dispatch from Boise City, Idaho,
dated the Sd instant, gives the follow
ing account Of alively shooting ARRAY /:
A row occurred in Rooms saloon at
Silver Mountain, Boise county, a new
mining camp seventy-fve miles north
east OF here, last Friday night be-
tween William Ninemier, and his
brother, alias Wilson, a gambler, on
one side, and lobe Pitts, a gambler,
and Pitt Smith on the other side.
Smith was shot dead and lobe Pitts
was shot and lived only a short time.
A young man named Townsend from
Wood River started to run away from
the fracas and was shot in the back by
a stray bullet while crossing the street,
and reports say Townsend must die.
George Hardin, a gambler, standing
on the other side OF the street, re-
ceived a slight wound from a stray
bullet.
Pitt Smiths father was shot dead in
Haley last April by his wife while at
tempting to beat her. Smith and
Pitts and Wilson were all considered
rough and dangerous men.
Ninemier and Wilson left the city
Saturday morning on horseback, and
met Sheriff Havird, who intended to
arrest them, but they drew a bead on
him with their pistols and told him to
hold up his hands and run until he
was out Of reach. Havird raised a
posse of men and went in pursuit of
Ninemier and Wilson, with not much
hope Of capturing them.

mis-. MARY ANN DRAPER.
One who saved Chicago From De.
yastation by the Indians.

Mrs. Mary Ann Draper, n OF
Chicago's Oldest Inhabitants" tells
in some recently published reminis-
cences OF how she once helped to save
that city from destruction by the Indi-
ans. Chicago was then only a cluster
OF fifteen or twenty dwellings, and
there was only one meat market in
the place, which was on the south
side OF the city, while her fathers
house was on what is now the north
side. One day her mother sent her to
the market, to reach which she was
forced to cross the pole bridge. This
she did in safety, but, returning, she
found the bridge blockaded by Indian
ponies, and about 1000 savages were
thronging about. The Indians sup
posed no one could cross, but she
managed TO get over by passing along
the ends OF the poles, outside the
| rough railing. She had barely crossed
| when the bridge, ponies and all, col
| lapsed and went into the river. A

that he went wherever his pap went.
The manager told them to go in. In
about Is minutes one of the society
men came to the box Office and said
he had been insulted. That q big
Texan accompanied by two boys had
come in and ordered him aud his
lady to give up their seats. MIR,
Davis called in an officer of the
town, and asked his assistance in

he would take q hand if there was nc
