INTERIOR RATE DECISION.
The inter state commerce commission
to-day decided that the practice of the
trunk lines to accept smaller sum for
the hauling of grain for export between
interior points and the seaboard than the
regular rates between the same points,
is in violation of law. This decision is
founded on the complaint OF the New
y ork produce exchange against the New
York Central road. The decision says
that the only practicable mode yet de-
vised for making through export rates is
to add to the established inland rates
from the interior to the seaboard the cur
rent ocean rates.

Sherman at the Theater.

General Sherman is a first-nighter,
and usually sits in an aisle seat or a
proscenium box. A popularity of the
Generals is that he seems to forget
that any one besides himself is in the
theater. He talks to his companion
about the performers on the stage with
out regard to his surroundings. The
other night at one of the fashionable
houses, he broke in upon a silent bit of
stage action which was being worked
out by young actress with the stento-
rian praise of:
"She's going to make an actress"
Every body near him stared, and then
laughed. The General did not appear
to be aware that he had been heard.
He settled back into his big collar with
an exclamation of contentment. At that
theater, where every body knows the
old warrior, his rumbling Interruptions
are accepted good-naturedly. But down
at one OF the Bowery houses the man
in the gallery would bring down his
rattan cane TO command silence, and
the gentlemanly usher would come
down the aisle, touch the soldier on
the arm, and say:
Soy, old man, bite off yer stories
now, or go outside and lose your voice."

BUTTERFLY NURSES.
Tho Queer Task Performed by the Black
Ants of East India.

Tho Queer Task Performed by the Black
Ants of East India.
Ants and butterflies are not ordinari-
ly on the most friendly terms, for ants
have "a ruthless custom of seizing and
devouring their winged acquaintances.
There is, however, one species of but
teray, described in scientific journal
of Bombay, the larvae OF which are
protected by the large black ants found
in Indian gardens and houses.
The secret OF this care lies in the
fact that the larvae exude sweet
LIQUID, OF which the ants are very fond,
and which they obtain by gently strok-
inc the little creatures with their an
tennm. At the foot of a bush on which
the larvae feed the ants construct a
temporary nest. and are then ready to
act as attentive nurses.
About the middle OF June the ants
are busy running about on this bush in
search of the Larvae, and driving them
down toward their own nest. When
the prisoners reach their places they
at once fall into doze, and undergo
transformation into pupm. During
this period If the loose earth at the foot
of the bush be scraped away hundreds
of larvae and pupm may be seen ar
ranged in broad, even band about its
trunk.
In about week the butterfly is ready
to come forth, and is tenderly assisted
to leave its shell. II it is strong and
healthy. it is allowed to spread its
wings and fly away, but should it tprove
delicate the ants exercise the utmost
care in assisting it to the tree and hold
ing IL there In safety.
1t is said to be curious sight to
watch these fragile creatures going
about in perfect confidence among the
strong, fierce ants, which have, how
ever, by no means adopted the profess
sion OF nursing for the love Of 1t. for
when the larvae of another species arc
thrown among them they Immediately
set upon them and tear them In pieces.

NEW DRESS FABRICS.
Favorite Materials and Colors for Stylish
summer Gowns.

Favorite Materials and ColOrs for Stylish
summer Gowns.
Light, soft tints in gray, green, gray
ish-green and greenish-gray, drab fawn
and olive are favorite colors for spring
wear in the new importations of cash
meres and ladies' cloths. A few gray
cloths are in telegraph blue and cold
shades, but by far the greater number
have a suggestion of spring sunshine
in the yellowish-green hues which
modify their color, and some go still
further and display real glints of gold
in tinsel interweavings, as the new tin
sci camels' hairs, which make up
richly with garnitures or combinations
of Persian -brocaded cloth.
The Oriental patterns figure extern
sively in the handsomest wooden. which
are bordered in stripes of figured Per-
sian patterns resembling those of
camels-hair shawls, sometimes alterna-
ting with satin stripes in ribbons of a
darker color than the cloth. The ma
terial makes up handsomely in combi-
nation with soft armure silk, matching
the color of the stripes of satin in the
woolen.
Silk-brocaded woolens are among the
dressiest of materials, and are made
up in combination with silk or plain
wooden. These are not figured all over
as we are accustomed to see brocades,
but usually come in patterns of four or
five skirt-lcngths with the designs in
figures of conventional design, looking
as if embroidered upon the skirt after
it is made up. An exquisite fabric is
brocaded in pale gray feurS-dc-lts upon
dark, steel-gray ground.
Bordered cashmeres and serges have
plain goods to match, and the woolens
bordered with stripes often have striped
goods to match, imported in the same
case.
Stripes are liked in combination. but
1t is not usual to see a costume made
throughout of either stripes or plaids,
although both are well represented in
the seasons stocks. Shepherd check
and block plaids are liked in black
and-white, and are particularly stylish
combined with black, for ladies leav-
ing off mourning.
Plaids and stripes in large quantities
of fancy WOODEN goods, for summer
wear, have clocked patterns and lace
drawn work effects, resembling the
fancy ginghams SO much liked in cotton
dress-goods Scotch plaids and fancy
woolens are much used for children's
dresses, and fine printed woolens for
house wear and morning gowns.
MOhair fabrics are shown in all the
fashionable colors. light and dark,
and figured, brocaded, and moire In

plain goods to match. The mohair

JILTED WASHINGTON
And Narrowly Escaped Becoming IL
Mother of Her Country.

Mother of Her Country.
George Washington was once re-
jected lover. The fact is testified to
by his own hand in a letter given to
the world a few years ago by General
Fitzhugh Lee. General Lee, writing
to the editor of Virginia paper about
the matter, said:
Eat the request OF many persons 1
send you and thus permit the publica-
tion of the inclosed letter. 1t is, as you
see, from General Washington, written
over 120 years ago, and is addressed to
William Fautleroy, Sr., in Richmond,

his Country Qor it is not said he was
the father of any thing or anybody
else) not heretofore known. Washing
ton, at the time this letter was written,
was some twenty years and three
months old, and is represented by all
historians and biographers as quiet,
dignitied, bashful and reticent young
man; but, alas! it seems in that, as in
this day, that particular kind of young
men always did the most courting."
Washington's letter inclosed is as
follows: =.
"SIR / should have been down long before
this, but my business In Frederick detained me
somewhat longer than expected, and imme-
diately upon my return from thence was taken
with a violent pleuriis, which has reduced me
low; but purpose, as soon as recover my
strength, to wait on Miss Betsy, in hopes OF
revocation OF the former cruel sentence, and see
II can meet with any alteration in my favor.
i have inclosed Il letter to her, which should
be obliged TO you for the delivery OF 1t. Ihave
nothing TO add but my best respects TO your
good lady and family, and that am, sir, your
most obedient humble servant,
