Marriage of De Lesseps' Daughter.

On Saturday, at Paris, Mile Fernan-
da de Lesseps, eldest daughter of the
great engineer, was married to her
cousin, Comte Ferdinand de Gontaut
Biron The wedding was extremely
quiet, and in consequence of an an
nouncement in the papers that it had
been postponed no crowd gathered
about the Nunciature, where the re-
igious ceremony was celebrated Con-
trary to expectation, Queen Isabella
was not present, but she was represent
ed by her major doIno, the Marquis de
Villa Segura. The bride, who has fine
black eyes and a very interesting face,
was dressed in white faille, trimmed
with old English lace. Her three sis
tiers, the bridesmaids, wore pale blue.
The pages of honor were the brides
younger brothers. They had court
dresses. Mime. de Lesseps in silver
gray wore the grand insignia of the Or
der of Isabella the Catholic, and NJ. de
Lesseps his Grand Cross of the Legion
of Honor and a number of other crosses
and stars. The company was for the
greater part composed of the members
of the two families and their relatives
NJ. de Lesseps seemed in good health
and received the congratulations of the
company in his old lively manner. The
bride and bridegroom have left for
Egypt. Cor. London Standard.

''The Board of Green Cloth" was a
board connected with the royal house
hold of England, having power to cor
rect offenders within the verge of the
palace and 200 yards beyond the gates
A warrant from the board had to be OBJ
tanned before a servant of the palace
could be arrested for debt. 1t was so
called because the members of it sat
with the steward of the household at a
board covered with a green cloth in the
counting house. 1t existed in the reign
of Henry l of England, and probably
at still earlier period.-Dry Goods

Genius Amenable to Ordinary Laws.
1t takes some years to determine
whether a man is a man of genius or
not; and in the case of any given sub
ject it may transpire after he has made
fragments of the decalogue in his strug
giles to free his supposed genius from
restraint that he hasn't got genius at
all, but only an eccentric order of mis-
guided talent. Genius that comes to
earth must accept us as it finds us, or,
if it chooses to run counter to the laws
which human experience has found to
be necessary to the due regulation of
human conduct, it must take the con-
sequences. Reasonable restraint will
not hinder it. Where lawless indulgence
has resulted in one masterpiece, stern
self denial can show a score; but if it
were true that genius and decent
morals were hopelessly antagonistic it
would not be morals that the world
could better spare. -Scribner's.

'Ill go up stairs and call up one of
the women servants" he said, land
then send her to ask Mrs Walsingham.
I'll shout up to the under housemaid, :"
he added; shell come like winking
when she hears my voice"
1t took longer to get the housemaid
to come down, however, than the but
ler had anticipated, but at last she had
gone off on her embassy, and had
brought her mistress answer to Bailey,
patiently waiting>On the upper landing.
II am sorry, sir" ne began, as he
descended the last flight of stairs, but
Mrs. Walsingham hasn't seen your
papers,"
Then he stopped short. The rosy
tints fed from his well nourished face,
and bilious hue took possession of
that broad expanse.
The street door was open and Mr..
Sawder had disappeared.
"a do, murmured Bailey, family;
"a real old do"
He thought of his plate, and almost
breathed again as he remembered that
he had deposited it in the plate chest
and turned the key before he had let
the insidious stranger in.
Depend upon it, he's only gone off
with masters umbrella" he said, try
ing to reassure himself
The next moment he struck his hands
wildly together and rushed into the
cOIOneTS St1dV When ba coIna hack
he was perfectly green. The coloners
fur coat, for which he had paid eighty
guineas only few weeks back, was no
where to be found.
The officials of Scotland Yard next
morning listened with polite attention
to Col. Walsinghams account of what
had happened.
"a clean shaven man with gray eyes,
you say"
Yes, " was the answer HE gave
the name of Sawder-Fred Sawder"
Fred Sawder! The man was James
Croft, alias Sleepy Jim, the cleverest
rogue in the United Kingdom, and as
slippery as an eel. | am afraid you will
never see your coat again, sir"
And he was right, for the colonel
never did. But one result of his little
experience was that he completely
changed his views of criminals.
ct is not that the public is so
stupid, he was often heard to say; it
is those scamps who are SO horribly

KISSING.
"ThOu shalt not kiss

"Thou shalt not kiss"
Tell me not in scientific
Pages, such tale as this;
That diseases most terrific
Gain diffusion by a kiss.
Kissing's real, kissing's earnest;
Though the vile bacillus lurk,
In the kiss that thou returnest,
Trust me Damon will not shirk.
Vain the doctors adjuration,
Phyllis lightly to me trips;
If there's death in OSCILLATION,
Let me take it from her lips.
When a merry maiden fair is,
Medical advice decline;
Let her sweet orbicularis
Oris lightly rest on thine.
Yet, since kissing surely pleases,
We, by Esculapian art,
Can prognosticate diseases
Soft affections of the heart.
Kissing is by Nature taught us,
Kiss the girls, then, when they come;
Though a kiss be, vide Plautus,
Acherontis pabdlum.

Conuict the Balot Bog Suffers.
A Conspiracy Breaking Up.
From fbe Ne1rn..L. DnsIu Ada,ea.y;e...

The revelations made in the progress Of
the inquiry into the late Jersey City mu
nicipal election need not surprise any
body. On the principle that lone might
as we'll be hanged for an old sheep as a
lamb" the Democratic Ring resolved to
make the most of the last opportunity.
They saw before the election for Mayor
came off, that a Ballot Reform law of
some sort would go upon the statute
books. The methods employed by them
in the State and Senatorial elections of
1889 would be impossible, or difficult.
They would never have such another
chance as this to steal an election.
could be stolen. The investigation in the
Stuhr-Mc Donald case had exposed the
various devices TO which they had re-
sorted in 1888. They could not stuff the
ballot boxes with "jokers," strangers,
and ~''repeaters." There must be at least
some semblance of regularity about the
ballot box when it vas opened. The
registry lists, loaded with the names of
absentees and dead men were left to
them. These could be used with telling
effect. Toward the end of the days
work, when IL was found that nobody
had voted on these names, they were
transferred in blocks Of ten or twenty to
to these numbers We're run
into the boxes. They forgot, or
they did not care, that an exami-
nation of the polling books would show
that men had voted, in many instances,
in the same alphabetical order tina their
names appeared on the registry lists.
And this is precisely what is disclosed by
a comparison of the lists of persons al
legged to have voted. Thus in one precinct,
after a few names scattered along in the
irregular of votes actually cast, the poll
book shows the record of thirteeP men
whose surnames begin with r.; the there
are more miscellaneous names and eleven
So appear, then ten rs, then eleven Ms,
ten Cs and ten BS and so on, all simply
copied from the registry lists.
Undeterred by the threatened indict-
ment OF the Ring tools by the Grand
Jury, and not at all scared by the expo
sure OF their infamous crimes of last No
vember, these hardened villains deliber-
ately renewed their work of carrying on
a bogus election of Cleveland for Mayor.
II they had any fears, the fear of the Boss,
Sheriff Davis. was greater than any
other; and. as they were "in for it," they
could not retrace their steps. They must
obey orders.
But we have good reason for the hope
that this is the last dying kick Of the
long established Democratic conspiracy.
Since the infamy OF the Hudson county
ballot box frauds has been bruited
abroad, an election law which promises
some tolerable defence of free suffrage
has been extorted from the party holding
the balance OF power in the Legislature.
1t looksn now as il the final breakup Of
that conspiracy We're at hand.
