THE LITTLE BROWN WREN.


There's a little brown wren that has built
And she's scarcely as big as big humble.
bee;
She has followed house in the heart of a
limb,
floor trim
With the down of the crows-foot, with
tow, and with straw,
The cosiest dwelling that ever you saw.
This little brown wren has the brightest
of eyes,
And foot of very diminutive size;
Her tail is as trig as the sail of ship;
She's demure, though she walks with a
hop and skip;
And her voice But flute were more
fit than pen
To tell of the voice of the little brown wren.
One morning Sir Sparrow camesauntering
And cast on the wren's house an enyious
eye;
With strut of brayado and toss of his
head.
"Pll put in my claim here" the bold fell
low said
So straightway he mounted on impudent
And entered the door without pausing to
ring.
An instant-and swiftly that feathery
knight,
All towsled and tumbled, in terror took
flight;
While there by the door on her fayorite
perch,
As neat as lady just starting for church,
With thissong on her lips, HE will not cali
again,
Unless he is asked" sat the little brown
wren.

AMBASSADOR BAYARD.

The People Know That He will Say
Nothing and DO Nothing That is Not
for the Honor and Advantage of His
Country.
Philadelphia Ledger.
Mr.. G. w. Smalley, the London CORES.
pondent of the New York Tribune, in his
dispatches to that journal of the 18th inst,
severely animadyerted upon Ambassador
Bayards acceptance of an invitation to
dine with that radical free trade organiza-
ton, the British Golden Club. After
stating that 1.-The London press takes little
note of Mr.. Bayards coming, or of the
fact that he comes as an Ambassador
and after intimating that his reception at
southampton was part of the general
policy of the municipal authorities of that
port and the agents of the American
line of steamships to advertise their
new enterprise, Mr.. Smalley, referring
why should an American Ambassador
lend his name and influence to an anti
American association? That is what Mr..
Bayard is doing" This statement of the
Tribule's correspondent was accepted very
generally by the Observation-Disclosures news
papers Of this country as quite accurate,
the result being the common and forcible
denunciation of the Ambassador by them.
In his next dispatches, those of the
25th inst, Mr.. Smalley states that MIR.
Bayard did not accept the invitation to
dine with the Golden Club, and he ex-
presses profound regret for having as
sumed the report to be true. The truth is
that the Ambassador was invited to dine
with the famous free trade organization
and refused to do 30. With respect To this,
Mr.. Smalley desires it to be made known
by his brethren of the press that his state
ment of the 18th instant was inaccurate,
as sit should be known that the claim of
this company sthe Golden Club to have
captured the American Ambassador never
had any foundation" except such as Mr..
Smalley's statement gave it. In accordance
with Mr., Smalley's wish to have the truth
OF the matter known, a number of those
newspapers which were misled by his error
have. like the Iribm,e's correspondent,
made handsome correction and apology.
This relieves both Mr.. Smalley and them,
If It be true that IAN offence handsomely
apologized for becomes an obligation"
A correction of the correspondents mis-
take was necessary, however, only in the
case OF the very small number of his coun-
trymen who do not know the sterling
Amerloanism. the strong common sense,
the wise discretion of Ambassador Bayard,
and his respect for the dignity of his great
office. No matter what reports may be
sent across the Atlantic of what he SAYS or
does, the great intelligent, patriotic masses
Of the American people will know that this
pure, capable statesman and diplomatlst
will say nothing and do nothing which is
not for the honor and advantage of his
country, In spite Of good or i'll report, that
much can be easily accepted as absolute
truth.

Two well-known residents of George

thereby hangs tale. The lady and her

The man, with very red face pursued

laid out on a window sill to recuperate.

steamer Woodwork will be put
in commission, and a medical officer of
the Marine Hospital service placed in
command, and the vessel stationed at
Reedy Island for making inspection, as
above indicated. The Surgeon General
requested that, if this plan meets with
the approval of Major Veale, he would
notify the Philadelphia pilots, so that
there will be no Misunderstanding as to
what will be required of vessels bound
for Philadelphia.
Major Veale wrote yesterday to the
Surgeon'General approving the plan,
and he will issue proclamation to the
Pennsylvania and Delaware pilots con-
tanning the above information.

An Actors Memory of Edwin Booth.

John Malone, who played "Iago" and
the king" to Edwin Booths "0thollo"
and "Hamlet," relates some charming
"reminiscences of the great tragedian in
the July Forum, praising him chiefly
for his wonderful self-mastery and his
courageous disregard of stage tradition.
The great improvement of the stage dur.
ing Mr.. Booths time, says Mr.. Malone,
is largely traceable to his influence. His
strenuous efforts at wholly artistic re-
suit were never relaxed during the ext
gencies of long and elaborate re.
hearsal, and numerous anecdotes are
cited to prove his unfagging devotion
to detail.
