POLK ON PALMER.


me PreSiueht OF the NatlOnal Alliance ie-
CARDS the Illinois Result Favorabiy.
WAsHINGToN, March II, President
Polk, of the National Alliance, declined
to express his views on the election in
Illinois of Gen Palmer to the senate
and the position of the three alliance
men in the recent contest in Illinois
further than to say that it appeared t.
him to have been fight between the
republican and democratic parties,
rather than contest between those
two parties and the alliance. The alli-
ance, he thought, had fought manfully
for principles and though they had not
been victorious in sending a Farmc 5
Alliance man to the senate, he believed
that Gen. Palmer's election would gem
orally be regarded with more favor than
that of the other candidates. He knew
of no promises being made b. ten
Palmer as to his policy in the senate on
any questions whatever.

have been since

Websters Office in Boston and asked
him to name retaining fee in an i'm

a couple of hundred dollars would do.
When the case was tried his fee was only
$1,000. On another occasion paid him
a retaining fee of So. 900 for the proprie-
tors of the Goodyear india rubber pat

His fee for arA1ding the great equity

The Two Maridians.-

The Geographical congress held in
Switzerland recommended the universal
adoption of the metric system and also
the Greenwich meridian for the reckon
ing OF longitude and time. 1t is doubt
full if this win be done. however. by all
nations. for. although standard in
both cases would be beneficial to the
world at large, France naturally desires
Paris time. and England would never
surrender her prime meridian and adopt
a revolution in her system of measure
ments unless the new measure was ex-
amined and based upon intrinsic merit.

Buried in Laces.

Lace headdresses, or what were called
heads of lace. We're very fashionable in
England in the reigns of Mary and
Anne, and the ladies of the court some
times paid very large sums for a fine
head of French or Flemish lace, but the
extravaganza in this fragile article of
luxury was never carried to the same
ruinous extent as in France 1t was,
however. profusely worn during what.
may be called the lace epoch, and was
even coveted as an article of adornment

left instructions that she should be laid

nrade Hin Rtd,cu1ous.

A good story of General Sheridan was
told me the other day by a Mexican
gentleman, an intimate friend of the
great northern soldier in his lifetime.
One day, calling on the commander of
the army at his Office in Washington, he
found him at his desk, his feet incased
in slippers and his shoes democratically
placed on top of the desk. While the
general was apparently absorbed in some
writing, the Mexican gentleman, who
thought some servant had left the war
rior's shoes in the wrong place, took his
cane and gently deposited the shoes on
the floor
The next day the Mexican gentleman
called again on Sheridan and found him
at his desk, shoes on top as before. The
polite resident of the tropics began once
more removing the shoes to the floor
when all at once Sheridan roared out
Don't you do that again. sirl You
make me ridiculous. sirr'
Il beg your pardon, general, but how
have made you ridiculous
why, sir" said Sheridan, still an
noyed, yesterday, sir. went out to
walk after you had called on me- Twas

gentleman looking at me intently.
Soon he addressed me, saying, Excuse
me- general, but aren't you afraid of
catching coldT Why, sir, no, not that

Well. said the gentleman, it is very
damp and you are going about in your
slippersr tell You, SIR" said Sheridan,
addressing his Mexican friend, "you
made me ridiculous. It is my habit, sir,
to put my shoes on my desk where can
not fail to see them, so may not forget
to put them on, and, confound it, sir,
You come around here with your notions

.:Oh, you say ,spausing at the door, al

''Oh. didn't youP" says Emily coldly,
in tone which implies that she does not

You hang about for a bit: then you

John Edward says: .Oh. hadn't

Butterflies That Rathe.

1t is commonly thought that butter
fly breads the water as fine lady breads
rain, but evidently this is not true in
Australia. The case of an Australian
butterfly deliberately entering the water
to take a bath is recorded by M. G.
Lyen. Jr. He saw it alight close to the
water. into which it backed until the
whole of the body and the lower part of
the hind legs were submerged, the two
fore legs alone retaining their hold on
the dry land. After remaining in this
position for something like half min
ute it flew away a. .larently refreshed.
Mr. LyeH says; During the morning
noticed a number doing the same
thing. In one instance no less than four
were to be seen within space of not
more than three yards, and, to make
sure that was not deceived, l captured
several as they rose fir ON the water, and
found in each case the body and lower
edge of the hind wings quite wet. While
in the water the futtering of the wings,
so noticeable at other times, was sus-
pended. and so intent were the but
terhies in the enjoyment of the cold
bath that they could hardly move, even
when actually touched by the net.
Apparently the heat of the weather
drove them down to the water, as imme-
diately upon emerging they flew up
again to the hillside. Butterflies are
often seen apparently sucking in the
moisture around the edge of the pools;
but they have never before been seen
actually to enter the water" ."-Victoria
Naturalist.
