THE NEW ORLEANS AFFAIR.
The Report of the Grand Jury Has
Reached Washington.


Reached Washington.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-The report of
the New Orleans grand jury excited no
surprise here. The attempt to palliate
the infraction of the law by off-setting
the alleged attempts at jury fixing is
deprecated by the legal department but
there is well defined opinion on the
whole outcome that the case will be
beneficial in its efforts upon the turbu-
lent foreign elements of the United
States.
The report will, it is expected reach
Secretary Blaine in due course of time
and make quite a figure in the official
correspondence between the United
States and Italy. The report finds
eight of them to have been naturalized
American citizens and that one of them
had declared his intentions to become
naturaliZed.

Lady Brooke to be Ostracized.

LONDON, May A coterie of swells
have formed cabal to ostracize Lady
Brooke, the American lady whose gossip
led to the exposure of the Gordon-Cum-
mings card scandal The lady is
intimate with the prince of Wales. and
jealousy is one of the motives actuating
some of her present antagonists Lady
Salisbury espoused the fair American s
cause, and gives dinner in her honor

WHY BEN BUCKED.
Explanation of the Presidents Conduct
at Oakland, Cal.


John S. Shriver, the Washington
correspondent of the New York MaI and
Express, who is travelling ahead of the
president across the continent, arrived
here today and said to a Telegram,
reporter: The only hitch or trouble on
the trip was at Oakland, and that was
caused by the chief of police, who cared
more for his own appearance than the
carrying out of the programme. About
four squares from the stand the police
allowed the crowd to rush in and SO
block the street with carriages and peo
pie that the presidents carriage was
stopped at that point. He waited fully
fifteen minutes for the police to clear the
way, and ifnally was obliged to get up in
his carriage and make his speech. It
was utterly impossible for the president
to get to the stand and rather than dis
appoint all, he preferred to make his
speech to those about his carriage than
not at all. The people of Oakland did
not understand the situation, and hence
the report that the president left the
town in anger. The truth was that the
president regretted the affair, as it was
the only break in the programme since
he left Washington.

The Charaoteristics OF Men AS shown "A

The CharaoterIstics of Men AS shown at
the Hotel Desk.
There are those that claim TO read a
mans life, profession and condition by
glancing at his handwriting This may be
a rather broad statement but II is certain
the handwriting and the manner in which
II Is done may give 40 least clue 10 a
mans character A hotel clerk thus talks
about what he has S. en- at the register
"Phil Sheridan never registers at all.
He walks up 10 the desk, greets the clerk
in friendly manner. and begins to chat
with somebody. leaving his aide de camp
to attend TO the formalilies Of registering
and selecting rooms lie Is a sociable man,
and never stays long in his room, but
walks around a great deal in the corridor.
"Ben Butler never registers, either lie
engages his room in advance and comes IN
through the side door, going directly TO his
room. lie is rarely seen in the corridor
Blaine and Conkling come to the hotel the
same way There is so much curiosity to
see these men that II would be annoying TO
them TO be surrounded by q crowd in the
corridor Mr. Blaine however, is very
sociable with the people in the Office, and
often drops in 10 talk with them Mr..
Conkling never unbcnds that way lie Is
naughty and reserved.
Gov. Hill used to come 10 the desk In
quiet manner and sign his name in a very
small hand lie is without aircctation Of
any kind-just a plain, every day gentle
man without peculiarities He does not
come 10 the office now, on account Of the
crowds usually awaiting him.
Edwin Booth is quiet, unassuming
man, too, lie walks up to the desk and
waits patiently for the clerk to put the
register before him. If he knows the clerk
he bows and exchanges salutations pleas
antly, writes his name plainly, and goes TO
his room without appearing TO be conscious
that he is attracting any attention. There
are actors who pose before the desk and
talk loudly, but he is not Of that kind.
Gen. sherman is very sociable in his
peculiar way. When he comes here he
marches up to the desk, says Iowd'e do.
and shakes hands first Then he swings
the register around sideways 10 give his
long arms plenty Of room and writes his
name with Il strong, sweeping movement.
When he was in active service he put the
General after his name. but now 1t is
simply w. I. sherman.

When the tariff ON steel rails was in

lection the free traders raised univer-

United States before 1867, in which

duet Of 1887 was 2373, 1885 tons, which W

y cents per ton per mile ON grain

No doubt most people remember the
number of days in any particular month
by recalling the rhymes which they learn
ed at school. Another method is prac.iced
in Iceland, and it is so simple and ingen-
ious as TO be worth knowing. Mr. Met
calfe gives Il in his book, "The Oxonian
in Iceland"
Shut the fist, and let the knuckle Of the
fore finger represent January with its
thirty-one days, and the depression between
that and the next knuckle will represent
February with its less number Of days
And thus every month that corresponds to
knuckle will be found 10 contain thirty
one days, and every month that cores
ponds to a depression a less number Of
days
The little finger will represent july. and
beginning again with the fore finger
knuckle, 1t stands for August. and from
this one goes on counting through the
months Of the year.

Edwin Booth tells curious story about
a dog. that is worth printing. Mrs. Booth
had little pet dog Of which she was very
fond. and Dir Booth was in the habit Of
holding this dog on his knee aud perhaps
during conversation pinching his ear in q
kind Of unconscious way They went to
Europe and left the dog at home, and, as
they we're away for some time. when they
returned the dog did not seem TO remember
them much Mr. Booth, indeed, did not
seem TO be recognized when he came back,
and fot week or so the dog went about
in q purely perfimct1ry way One day he
had the dog on his knee. and in the old
unconscious way began piuclhng his ear.
The dog locked up al MIN moment, and
then jumped up and licked his hand, and
made every demonstration OF delight He
had not recognized Mr. Booth until that
old habit disclosed their familiar relations
