RUSSIAN GALLANTRY.

A Musician Ordered TO Travel Thousands of
Miles to Please u Lady.
Harper's Magazine for May.J
As humanity does not live by brains
alone, the young officers of the guards play
the most prominent role in the salons, and
if they do not shine by their refined culture.
they take their revenge by their gallantry.
In this social function they give proof of
that passionate folly and princely prodigal-
ity which Madame de Staei immortalized
by saying, 'sThe desire of the SIav would
set town on fire." You may still see
grand seigneurs, true sons of Potemkin,
playing with the impossible in order to sat-
isfy the caprices of the lady of their heart.
One will by telegraph send for cart-load
Of roses from Nice, another for celebrated
orchestra from Warsaw.
The following story is told of gentleman
poet who died few years ago, He was
talking in the presence Of lady of a Kirg-l
heez musician whom he had met during a
journey beyond the Ural, in the steppe of
Orenburg-one Of those camel drivers who
play their antique Asian melodies on long
reed pipes. The lady expressed regret at
never having heard these harmonies of the
desert. The poet Immediately wrote for
this Kirgheez to be sent from the other end
of Russia, and then dispatched him to play
before the lady.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE p1sPATcH.l
New YORK, May 1.-James Legg started
to row boat across the Passaic river this
afternoon to take his brother William and
four girl friends to Laurel Grove Cemetery
to decorate another brothers grave. The
river was swollen with recent rains. When
about half way over the boat was caught in
the current and swept toward the first dam
above the falls, in spite of all his exertions
to stem the tide. For a long time he
struggled, but inch by inch he went down
the river toward the dam, his strength all
the time growing less.
1t was evident to the hundreds of specta-
tors on the river banks that he was doomed.
His brother William sprang into lighter
boat and went to his brothers rescue, but
had not gone far when one of his oars broke,
and he had all he could do with the remain
ing one to scull back to shore and save him.
sell. The spectators yelled for james to
jump from the boat and swim to the shore.
The boat appeared too big for him to
handle. He obeyed, and under ordinary
circumstances he could have saved himself.
But the current was too strong, and he was
carried over the dam.
He was still alive, but nothing could re-
sist the seething current between the dam
and the great falls. The water poured over
the brink of the 70-foot precipice six feet
thick, and as smooth as oil, to be dashed
into foam on the rocks in the chasm below.
Had he remained in the boat he would have
been saved, for the big skiff was caught in
an eddy, whirled around a minute or two,
and then struck against the bank, where it
was caught and made fast

Centennial Festivities.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
NEW YORK, May 1.-The Metropolitan
Opera House this evening was again the
scene of patriotic festivity. The National
Provident Union, an association which may
be described as sort of patriotism factory,
inasmuch as It's aim and object is to incul-
cate love of country and incidentally to in
sure the lives of its members, was the host
on this ocsasion. General William War
ner, Commander-in-C Chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic, was Chairman, and
around him were Edward o. Bragden,
President, and other officers of the Union.
Cappa's Seventh Regiment Band played
patriotic airs, and Miss Emily Winant
sang, and then Senator Daniel, of Virginia,
made speech. He wanted to open no old
wounds, the orator said, but he wished to
say that he would be a small and pitiful
creature if any spark of bitterness remained
in his heart after the reception which had
been rendered him, and in the name of old
Virginia he could declare that in soul and
spirit no more loyal men could be found
than in the State which was the mother of
Presidents. virginia feels" concluded
Senator Daniel "that New York has stormed
the heights of hate and planted her banner,
excelsior, at their top"
After Mrs Gerrit Smith and F. F. Power
had sung, the band played, and Miss Ger
trude L. Wood, costumed as Liberty, recited
brakes American Flag"
The other festivities marking the close of
the Centennial was banquet given by the
Virginians to the Centennial Commissioners
from Virginia; reception by the Bar Asso-
citation to Chief Justice Fuller; reception 1
to se1-President Hayes by Mr.. and Mrs.
William M. Caldwell, and Centennial

When / was a young man l married a
girl who still abides with me. She was the
daughter of an athlete, and from him she
inherited love for such unwomanly prac-
tices as boxing, walking, and so on, much to
my annoyance. / used to tell her that she
might be better employed reading her Bible;
but she seemed to enjoy it, and didn't
want to be harsh. Well, one villainously
cold winter I fell sick. was stretched out
on bed suffering the agonies of the ladies
and gentlemen in the neither world, unable
to move hand or foot.
On memorable morning a rap came to
the door and my wife responded. When
the portal was swung ajar she was con-
tronted by big raw-boned tramp, who
looked as strong as draught horse. He
assured her with choice collection of i'm
ported and domestic oaths that he wanted
something to eat, and wanted il right away.
Somewhat frightened at his manner, my
wife endeavored to close the door, but he
grasped her arm violently and prevented
her. 1 was lying there like a corpse, un-
able to lift hand, and you may imagine
that my feelings were not boisterously hi
larious. Well, what did she do2
Recovering from her scare, she wrenched
her arm free and pasted that tramp in the
mouth with her left. Before he could figure
out what struck him he caught her right on
his neck and went over like falling church.
He came up pretty groggy and mad all over,I
but she wasn't through with him. She just
damned that tramp around the eyes and
neck until he made sneak for the gate,
