A New Dance.
From the Hartford Times.

The event Of the evening was the
dancing of the new German dance
called. ''The Aristocrat This dance
WAS produced for the first time seven
weeks ago at court ball given by the
Emperor of Germany. 1t is com.
bination of the qundrille and the
contra, and is danced with the state
illness and courtly grace of the minuet.
The position taken by the dancers is
similar to that which is taken in the
quadrille. Tho hands are held as
high as in the minuet, and the move
ments are as measured and as precise
as those in which the dignified danes
and artistocratio gentlemen of CEN
tury ago graced their Eallrooms.

The grocer is a republican and he flew up
in minute, saying: 81 should think you

of wheat and the dry weather last fall The
area seeded was over 4 ,500, 900 acres, &C
cOrding to the latest report of the state

area than produced the phenomenal crop

Hoke Smiths Defective.

Week before last we mentioned the
presence of a courteous gentleman en-
ployed by Hoke Smith as detective for
the pension department. This week we
began to hear of his werk for that depart
ment hereabouts. 1t seems that at one
time j. ID. Rapp made some affdavits in
support of comrade sclaim forpension.
The comrade was so badly disabled that
an operation was necessary. He was ac-
quaiH.ed with the applicant from child
hood up, and both were in the same
company during the war. Though
knowing all about the surgical operation
he was not present when it was done
the surgeons knife. The detective in
an adroit manner, engaged Mr.. Rapp in
conversation without giving the least
information of his authority as a
detective. Mr.. Rapp is not much of
talker till you get him started, but the
detective brought up the name Of the old
disabled veteran and in crafty way got
at the fact thxt the knowledge Mr.. Rapp
had of his ailments was not from being
present at the operation or personal
.examation of the injured part. This he
carefully noted down, and then made
known his mission here. In all
other departments of justice witnesses
are called upon .hy the authorities like
honest men to tell the truth, the whole
truth and sothing hQk the truth. on the
presumption that they are honest aud
truthful, bat Hoke Smith seems to think
the old veterans are bead Of perjurers
and swindlers Who will net disclose the
truth unless detectives slip around in
disguise. and beguils It awsy from them
BY stealth.
Ths fact is Mr.. Rapp would have
tsstified just ~ truly Il summoned be-
fore local board Of examiners and cross
examined % to his afidavit, - to have
this sleuthhound 70 to an this trouble,
hut Hoke Smith and the southern
briGadiers who run the pensioa depart
ment have distorted ideas ot The character
