Davis was the following, signed by seven
teen colored men of New Orleans, and pub

YOUNG Mrs. BLAINE is still very ill, and there
seems, unfortunately, to be every prospect that
she will be an invalid for the remainder of the
winter. She submitted to an operation the
other day, during which she was burned with
irons, but it cannot be known for little time
whether any very great benefit will result. She

not been able to move from one position, The
fact that her professional career has been so
suddenly cut off-almost before she could be
said to have entered upon it's naturally sub

not to be attributed SO much to unsatisfied am
bition as it is to the fact that it cuts her Off
from, for the present at least. the opportunity
OF establishing herself and her child in com
Portable and substantial home In the
meantime Mrs. Blaine is not wholly without
means, but, Nevertheless, many of her
friends in New York have felt that they desire
to testify in some way their sympathy for her,
and to mark in some fashion their indignation
over the way in which she has been treated by
her husbands family. In furtherance of these
ideas 1t is about decided that at some time in
the very near future testimonial performance
will be given, probably with the sklful CO.
operation OF Manager Erohman Of the Lyceum
Theater, so that Mrs Blaine NAV know the
amount of cordial and friendly feeling existing
for her in New York. The pecuniary results
will doubtless be considerable, and, so far as
Mrs Blaine is concerned would not be unwel

of funds, although that conclusion might be
reached If any credence were given to numbers
of wild and irresponsible paragraphs which
have been printed in newspapers through the
country, one OF which was to the remarkable
effect that application had been made to a lead
ing hotel in town on Mrs. Baines behalf and
that they were about to receive her at nom nal
rates. This story is absolutely untrue, and her
friends will be very glad to learn that fact.

The Laugh That Rings

A young mar who il credited by his
friends with being a good deal of a phil
osopher penned me up in a corner today
and harangued me as follows;
"Did you ever study the human laugh
as an index to human character? 1t is
an infallible test, me boy. Did you ever
know a mar who simpered and giggled
like a girl who wasn't a sneak in his
hearth And, on the contrary, did you
ever know afellow who laughed squarely
out with a good honest roar who wasn't
the prince Of good fellows?
"a shrill laugh is indicative of deceit,
and a deep chuckle proves sincerity and
good nature. By this / don't mean that
a man with a tenor voice can't laugh as
though he was honest, or one with a bass
voice cover his insincerity with a mere
below. It's the ring that talks. II the
laugh has no ring in it you al put the
fellow down as a half hearted cuss, no
matter il his laugh Is loud enough 10 lift

The Art of Leaving.

Among the minor arts that add much
to the happiness Of life is that OF leaving
gracefully after you have paid a visit
1t may seem a small thing, bu, it Is real
ly a large one. Who does not know the
individual who rises TO go and then
stands talking for an hour5 And the
host and hostess feel that they must
stand. even II they almost drop with ia
tigae. and when the visitor is finally
gone they give a sigh OF relief and sink
into their chairs Pay your visit, say
what you have TO say, and when you get
up to 60 do not finger by the way. Do
o stand and talk and keep your host
ess standing. You have enjoyed your
visit. and NO, probably. has she; 60. then,
while the enjoyment lasts and do not

A correspondent Of The Forest and
Stream writes that he recently observed
a very cunning and ingenious trick of a
crawfsh Tor crayfsh) for catching fies.
Sitting on the bank of a muddy pond,
or borrow pitt over the surface OF
which many small flies were swarming
about, / observed that the crawfish came
to the surface e the waters edge,
and. turning over on the side, the tail
probably touching bottom, with claws
and legs '~sprudling' about in the water,
he assumed the exact semblance Of dead
creatures floating on the water. In q
few seconds fiies would aiight on the APP
parently dead crawfsh. and as soon as
one got into the proper position there
was q sudden and instantaneous flip,
when fish and hies would disappear to-
gether under the water. In q few SEQ
onds more he would appear IN the sur
face and 60 through the same maneuver.
with the same result. There were, per-
haps, two or three dozen Of them In
ught at the same time, and all industri-
ously engaged in the fly catching game"
