HE PERsONATED A KING.

x
 How tho Late Consressman Burnes
 once Did KaIakaua . Good Turn.
 From the Kansas City Journall
 'The late Congressman Burnes," said 8 well-known politician to 8 Journal reporter yesterday, "was whole.souled gentleman, and no one enjoyed joke better than he. One instance of this was impressed upon my memory. Some years ago, you will remem- Der, King Kalakaua of the Sandwich Islands made tour of this country. He came down from Omaha to Kansas City, and at St. Joseph the party was joined by Congress- man Burns, for whom the foreign monarch at once conceived strong admiration, both on account of his size and jovial qualities. At Kansas City King Kalakaua was booked for 8 speech, and very brief but excellent one had been prepared. An unforeseen obstacle to compliance with this programme arose, however. As every one knows, the dark. skinned potentate is addicted to the variety of cup that cheers and also inebristes, and the result on this occasion was that when the time arrived to prepare for the Kansas City speech his Highness was oblivious to all mundane affairs, and lay in his berth, ai drunk as the proverbial specimen of nobility "What was to be dones It wouldn't de not to make the speech and the royal party were at their wits end. But at this junoturt Congressman Burns came to the rescue. Leave it to me- said he, 'and I'll fix il -only do just as I tell you
 "There was no time to be lost, so by Col Burnes's instruction Kalakaua was quickly divested of his royal costume which wal promptly donned by the big Missouri repre- sentative. Col. Burnes is of dark complex ion, quite so, and he didn't make half bsd Sandwich Islander when he stood arrayed il all the regal paraphernalia. Just as the toll ct was completed the train rolled into tn, Union depot at Kansas City. It was quit, dark, but there was an immense crowd o people who had assembled to see the island monarch. When Col. Burnes stepped witt sately tread on the rear platform ot the Pull man the crowd outside cheered lustily. Tht Colonel cast fierce look at the multitud, and then commenced to utter the most re markable string of jargon I ever heard Laughf We all laughed until we were al most dead, but Col. Burnes remained as sol emn as an owl. The speech took immensely and when with dignifed wave of the hand the Colonel ceased his audience cheered him to the echo and gazed with admiration at tn, manly proportions of the supposed king.
 f'In majestic silence Col. Burnes stood un out, and I suppose there are people te Kalakaua talk in his own language. I'll nev Burnes's appearance on that occasion, and can see him now, when, after re-entering tn car and sitting in solemn silence for mo ment, he turned to his laughing friends ant said: Boys. don't you think after that Tn entitled to drinkT"

Fear of It's Eall1ng-Rrecauttons Taken
 Against Such Q Disaster.
 From the London Globe.1
 Confidence is restored to Paris. It is not considered pleasant in the neighberhood of the Champ de Mars to spend forty-eight hours in doubt whether one is to be buried under the debris of tower nearly 900 feet high. However, the Eiffel tower can say "1 stood;n and the experts say, on the faith of their theodolites, that it is going to stand, un- less something goes wrong hereafter. But while congratulations must be offered to the people who live about the Champ de Mars, sympathy must be extended to the crowds who came together from less menaced quart- ers-some of them with plumb lines, just aa they would have brought smoked glass to ob- serve an eclipse-to see what the monster was going to do. That 1t did nothing, after all this anticipation was unfair, and it if ! probable that it's further rise in height will | be accompanied by some diminution of pop \ ularity. The Parisians forgot that speoia l providence watches oyer ugly and useless things; and that this is better security thai even the theodolites of science. Were i otherwise, we doubt if the explanations o the constructor of the abomination woul

A CARD,
To the Public

The great success of our January Clearing Sale, which far exceeded our most sanguine expectations, convinces us that in our efforts to quote low prices on line of reliable goods we have met with the appreciation of the dry goods buyers of New Haven and vicin- ity. During the coming season we will con- tinue our efforts to place before the public the best line of Dry Goods, which we can offer as reliable goods, and at prices that will convince anyone who is familiar with the quality and make of the goods we offer that we have struck rock bottom prices.
 Our lines of Dress Goods and Silks cannot be excelled for variety and for complete as- sortment of all grades. We cannot give you an adequate idea of the line of new goods we are now opening in these departments, but would ask you to call and inspect them. This is our Banner Department, and no ef- fort will be spared te have it up and if any thing above the usual standard of excellence.
 In each of our several departments we have effected an entire change with regards to the prices of the goods, and will be able to place on our counters, at various times, SPECIAL BARGAINS which it would be well to watch for, as we expect to save you many dollars.
 Our recent large and extensive improve ments will enable us to better serve the de- mands of the public, and with our increased facilities we are confident we will be enabled to continue to merit the patronage of the New Haven public.
 Your obedient servants,
