SOME lLL-sRED DIPLOMATS.
Attaches Have Had to 2 Wasnins
ton Through bad Behavior.

..,has Have Had to Leave Washing-
ton Through Bad Behavior.
T. is charged that the foreigners q
tha locations are the most dissipated'
neople in Washington. Some OF the
voung men, while favorably regarded
nv the American girls, are looked
upon with more or less dlsapproval
bv prudent mammas. Some OF them
have behaved outrageously on oc-
casions, cheating their creditors
getting into drunken rows and otner-
wise taking advantage of their inn
munity from arrest and prosecution
for debt or other causes. According
to the law they are entirely exempt
from the jurisdiction, either civil or
criminal, of the United States au-
thorities, and if anybody ventures to
sue n of them for money DUE thai
person would be liable to a fine AND
three years. imprisonment as a 'vio-
later of the laws of nations and dls-
turber of the public repose." just
after the close of the civil war some
of the diplomats stationed in WASH
;noton made themselves exceeding
" Objectionable. They thought
thew could do about as they
p]eased, and their insolence was +
ried to such a point that it was neces-
sarv to check it. One of them is said
bv the Washington Star to have &C.
cupied q chair at a german which be-
longed to somebody else, and when
the hostess asked him to vacate IL
he replied: 90.
II decline to do SO, madam. 1t Is
absurd to suppose that one can en-
gage a seat at a dance as If 1t were at
the theater."
In another instance a foreign sec
rotary made an offensive remark to
a young lady and then put his foot
upon her dress to- prevent her from
getting up and leaving him. In both
these cases the perpetrators OF the
acts described were challenged inn
mediately to fight several duels, and
they fled from the city. It was only
during the last administration that
two members of a South American
leg alton made a business of getting a
girl drunk at a party by plying her
with champagne. In consequence OF
this affair they g recalled by their
government. A like fate eventually
befell a miser and beat from a sister
American republic who locked up his
house to keep off creditors, paid no
body, cooked his own food and starved
his family so that they had to apply
to neighbors for sustenance. But it
must be acknowledged that the for
eigners have had numerous reasons
whereof they might complain of the
people of Washington as barbarians.
At one ball which the Chinese minis
ter gave four years ago the mob
swarmed in and attacked the proven
der so fiercely, throwing empty plates
under the table, that he was obliged
to sprinkle red pepper %profusely in
the dining-room in order to dispense
the unlimited guests. Even now the
Chinese ladies are sometimes hooted
at when they venture out of the iega.
ton. If such things happened to our
ministers at Pekin we would say that
the Chinese were only benighted saw
ages any way, which would account
for it.

THE BANKERS DAUGHTER.
How q Thief-Taker sent HIS Sweetheart

How q Thiof-Taker Sent His Sweetheart
to Prison.
II sent my sweetheart to the PEN
itentiary two years ago, said L. A.
Juhring a successful thief-taker.
'For a year Or more a very slick
young crook had been working the
country banks in the South for con-
siderable amounts. / vas put on his
trail and tackled him to a hotel in
Memphis. He was a handsome young
fellow, small of stature and had a
hand and foot like a duchess. The
moment I got sight of my man I sus-
pected that he was not a stranger to
female DISCUSSES. My evidence
against him was a trife shaky, so I
concluded not to arrest him at once,
but to give him an opportunity to
make a play that would securely bag
him.
'sThat evening q very stylish young
lady occupied the seat next to me at
the supper table. She was quite
pretty and altogether charming. +
fell into conversation with her,
learned that she was from New
Orleans and the daughter of a
wealthy banker on Canal street. I
forgot to watch my man and spent
the evening with the young lady in
the parlor. She was an expert at
the piano, had q beautiful contralto
voice, and sung sentimental songs to
me until my heart just crawled "
to her. She intended to go away the
next day, but ! persuaded her to
postpone her departure and paid her
assiduous attention. Opera tickets,
suppers, carriages spoiled a 500 bill
in two days.
Il suddenly discovered that my
bank worker had flown, but I didn't
worry about him much. The bankers
daughter interested me far more than
the bankcr's robber. On the evening
of the third day she was playing the
piano and I was. playing the fool /
was begging one of those beautiful
yellow curls which hung oyer her
shoulder like q shower of gold. She
refused, and | made a pretense to cut
one off. She sprang up from the
piano in playful resentment, the curls
caught in the music rack, the wig
came off and my fly check manipulation
stood before me.

ever played the sucker, but I had

he laughed as he slipped his dainty
hands through the jewelry and al
lowed it to fall to~the floor and tangle
itself with the yellow curls that I had
learned to love SO well. But ! ran
him in, and he got on the various
counts fourteen years in the pen"

Internal Heat I'm the Earth.

There are very important evidences
of internal heat derived from the uni
yersal phenomenon of a fairly uniform
increase of temperature in all deep
wells, mines, borings or tunnels. This
increase has been usually reckoned as
l deg. Fahrenheit for each sixty feet
of descent, but a recent very careful
estimate by Prof. Prestwitch, derived
from the whole Of the available data.

ria, where the soil Is frozen to q depth
of 62O feet, there Is a steady Increase
