From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Columbus, o., Jan. 1l.-RepresentatiTe
Smith, one of the eolored members from
Cuyahoga county, had a disagreeable ex-
perience this evening. After the caucus
he dropped into High street restaurant
for lunch For long time no one came
10 wait upon him. Finally he attracted
the attention Of one Of the young lady
walters and asked her 10 take his order
She listened 10 what he had 10 say, but
made no movement TO order the edibles
Another and another waiter was called,
but no order was given.
At length one Of the young women
brought 70 his table plate Of cat meal
but instead Of giving the usual spoon
with il, furnished the young solon with a
ladle such as might be used for dipping
soup in a soup house. 1t would 60 into
neither his mouth nor the dish. Moth
ing else was served. Mr.. Smith, who is
an unusually fine looking colored man
saw at last that his color was the cause
OF the failure 70 wait upon him and he
withdrew. But waiter carried 10 the
cashiers desk a check for 10 cents,
which he was called upon to pay. He
informed the cashier that he would pay
all his bill when he received all his or
der. There was an argument. but Mr.
Smith did not pay. He says that If he
can find a way 10 do SO be will push the
prOprietOrs Of the restaurant 70 the fur
thermOst. His treatment was in accOr-
dance with orders from the proDrietors.

Des cription of the Famous Venetian
Archway With Its Clustering Ro-
nance.
From the London England Chronicle.
In the heart Of Venice. between the
magnificent Palace of the Doges and the
grim walls Of the old prison, flow the dark
waters Of the Rio del Palazzo; and across
this canal stretches the Bridge Of Signs
"a connecting link between the splendors
Of the palace and the terrors of the dun
geon, the torture chamber and the head
ing block
One Of the most noticeable points about
this bridge is the fact that Il is closed in,
thus proving all stories Of suicides com
mitted from il to be fabulous. This fact
ro5s the Bridge Of Signs Of one Of its
most romantic assOciatiOns-Of its pretty
legends Of grief-laden metal, heaving
their last sigh upon its parapet, and end
ing their Borrowing lines II the black
waters beneath it. From without, the
bridge with its arch-Iike form, its oTua-
mental stonewOrk, its grotesquely carved
heads, and its small, square windows
filed in with iron tracery. presents a
rather tine appearance; but the interior
is strictly devoid Of ornament. and has not
the slightest pretensions 10 beauty.
During our visit 10 Venice, We Of course
included the DOge's palace and the dun
geons IN our programme. After wander
ing for some time through the vast halls
and beautiful saloons Of the old Venetian
palace, we passed over the Bridge Of
Signs on our way 70 the gloomy cells. The
bridge seemed 10 be little more than a
narrow passage between two thick walls
Of stone; and unless you stepped up 10 the
slightly raised stoHework which runs
along beneath the tiny windows on either
side, and caught glimpse Of the canal
without yOu might easily take il for an
ordinary passage within the palace.
Al the far end Of the bridge our pro
gress was barred by grim looking oaken
door-uail studded, age blackeued and of
immense thickness-guardIng the en-
trance 10 the dungeons. Our guides came
to a halt. There was jingling Of keys.
a ligh ting of torches. then the great door
swung slowly back, and we passed into
the darkness beyond. When next we
passed the ancient door. and crossed the
Bridge Of Signs. il was with the memory
Of those terrible cells, those fearful dun
geons where the hapless prisoners en-
dured. the most horrible tOrtures that
tyranny could devise or brutality infict.
l remembe strolling. On the last even
ing Of our holiday in Venice, along the
Piazza San Marco, and making my way 70
the Poute della Paglia 70 take a farewell
look at the Bridge Of Signs. II was a
summers evening, hot and sultry, while
the fast-gathering clouos, dense and inky.
betokened an approaching storm. I had
Just reached the Ponte della Paglia and
was gazing at the Bridge Of Signs, when
a tremendous peal Of thunder rent the
heavens. seeming 70 shake the city TO its
very foundations with its violence. Sud-
denly a binding fash Of lightning lit up
palace, bridge and dungeons with It's vivid
hare for an instant the bridge stood out
with dazzling distinctness, while the light
ming played on its traceried windows;
then all seemed dark. And this was the
last saw Of the Bridge Of Signs.
