ingtOn Calls For q Surmise.

French NObleman's Short Stay at WASH
ineton Calls For q Surmise.
A certain young French nobleman
who arrived in Washington day or
two ago left in hurry for his own
shores, giving as his reason to the clerk
Of the up town hotel where he stopped
that he could not enjoy himself in a
country whose language he did not un-
derstand. He came expecting to remain
several weeks, and there is romance
connected with his abrupt departure.
] seems that two summers ago he
met a fair young American girl in Par
is, and he fell in love with her speedi-
~ or with the fortune she was reputed
topossess. Atall events, the affair SEEM
ed to progress smoothly, and there was
every prospect Of union. It was to
claim the hand of the young lady that
brought the gentleman to Washington,
and on the day he landed he sent back
cablegram to his mother, saying, can
Is we'll; am very happy" The next day
he cabled, Everything broken off; re-
turn at once"
What sudden cloud obscured his vi
sions of bliss none except the parties to
the episode know. Whether fate, in the
shape Of stern father, interposed to
break off the match is only for conjec-
ture, or it may be that the young aris-
tocrat found at the last moment that
satisfactory marriage settlements could
not be made. At any rate, he vanished.
and one American girl will be all tie
happier for getting an American hus-
band. Washington Post.

DID 1.-THE RUDE ACT"

Experience of the Flushing Chappies Witt
Long Island Hayseed.
I've got q pigeon story from Flushing,
which, next to Gowanus, is perhaps
the most famous town of Long Island.
They've got a grand, new tangled,
dude pigeon club down there and open.
ed it with an invitation shoot last week.
A lot Of cracks were persuaded to &c
down, but the Flushing chappies had pu'
on so many frills that they thought they
would put up little job on them.
Louis Duryea, who is a very cleve,
man with gun, was dressed up to lool
like q Long Island hayseed, in rubber
boots, an old canvas jacket and a slouct
hat. He was introduced as fellow whe
thought he could shoot and had rope6
in with some of the crowd. The com
mittee demurred at first, but when be
pulled out his $25 entrance fee theJ
thought they might as we'll gather it in.
Davenport, as he called himself,
was guyed numerically every time hi
went to the trap He acted his part tt
perfection, was very awkward in han
ding his gun and appeared surprised
every time he brought down bird.
After Davenport had killed / 5 straight
the Flushing dudes didn't guy him st
much. At 20 straight he was greeted
with dead silence, and all the Flushing
cracks had dropped out.
So Davenport went OH and won the
Gun and all the "mOn.'' with q clear
record of 20 straight, and, what il
more, he got away from Flushing with.

VIVA VOCE VOTE.

The GAZETTE knows no reason why
the members of the legislature, when
casting their ballot in caucus, for
United States Senator, should not
vote viva voca, instead of the secret
ballot, the pernicious practice adopted
by boodlers in all Senatorial contests
where there is more than one candi-
date. The secret ballot cannot be! too
strongly condemned in United States
Senatorship elections. 1t is the
opportunity for the member to Sc
cretly disregard the wishes of a ma
jority of his people.
At the caucus the member really
expresses the wishes of his people, if
he is honest. When the caucus
nominee is decided upon he takes his
seat in the legislature and by viva
yoce vote casts his vote for the caucus
nominee, who may or may not he the
direct choice of his constituents. 1t
is but fair that his constituents know
whether he has betrayed them in the
caucus, and this alone can be done by
viva voce vote. If Republicans de-
sire to bring the party closer to the
people they will stand by the viva
yoce vote and pass a law governing
political caucuses in that manner.

BRAVE GERMAN SAILORS.
Their Rescue Of Wrecked Americans .
Magma sent Piece of Work.

Their Rescue OF Wrecked Americans .
Magma ,ent Piece of Work.
The invalids wintering at Ventnor, a
sheltered nook on the isle Of Wight,
were recently thrown into state of ex.
oitement much greater than was good
for them by the landing Of q crew OF
shipwrecked American sailors, who, as
soon as they got ashore, fastened on the
spectators and told them a glowing tale
OF the heroism Of their rescuers. The
men belonged to the Boston coasting
schooner Wilhelmine, which was caught
in a terrific gale and driven out to sea.
The schooner sprang leak, and the
crew, knowing that the vessel was like
" to sink any moment, began to think
of the folks at home and to pray. A
steamer was seen approaching, but the
Wilhelmine's men believed that rescue
was impossible with such sea running
and did nobrev indulge in the luxury
of hope.
The stranger was the German steamer
Brilliant, and her officers and crew
were made of the stoutest human fiber.
They launched lifeboat and rescued
those unfortunate Americans with con-
summate bravery and devotion. The
annals of the sea scarcely tell of q
grander bit Of work. Every one of those
Germans carried his life in his hands
and knew it as none but experienced
sailors could know it. Over and over
again they were forced back by the ire
mendous seas, and the manner in which
they unanswered their boat alongside
the sinking schooner and got the men
off was as fine a testimony to their skill
as the actual undertaking was to thei-
humanity and pluck.
Some Of those rough Bostonian sailor
men shed tears of gratitude when they
were at length put safely aboard tho
Brilliant. Even at Ventnor and at
Southampton, where they were taken at
the American consuls expense, their
eyes moistened as they told of the Ger.
mans bravery and Of the liberal treat
ment they received on board the Bril-
liant. It is proposed to bring the Bril-.
iant's service to the official notice of the
United States government, with a view
OF obtaining adequate recognition of tho
heroism and humanity of her officers
and crew.-New York Suns London
