Thirteen Miles of Diners.

cat the coronation of Alexander II, ;"
says the Moscow correspondent of the Lon
don Telegraph, ''there were no less than
13 miles of tables, 672 in number, laid
symmetrically along the Khodynsky Field,
just outside of the city, and on the eve OF
the historic day they were covered with
various kinds of eatatles for the multitude.
Thus, on each table were placed five roast
ed sheep, the horns gilt or silvered, and on
each side of the improvised tables stood
frs or pines, like the traditional Christ
mas trees of the Germans, from which
hung, not merely the usual apples, pears,
sweetmeats and fancy breads, but likewise
roasted ducks, chickens and hens galore
There were no plates, and the venerable
old saying was acted upon that fingers
were made before forks, and hands before
knives
"No government with the wholesome
fear of bankruptcy before its eyes would
dream of undertaking to supply the people
with alcoholic liquor in sufficient quanti-
ties, and therefore barrels and tubs of wa
ter were placed within easy reach of the
thirsty mooshiks who might be unlucky
enough to miss their share of the creature
comforts, per excellence, which we're also
supplied in vast quantities free of charge.
Between the tables, and at intervals along
the IS miles over which they extended,
lofty arabesque covered fountains were
erected, whose oapaoious reservoirs were
filled to overhowing with Crimesn wine
and the curious drink called myod. The
national vodka, however, was conspicuous
by its absence"

R;dicuIe the Test of Truth.

It is said that ridicule is the test of truth.
And there is q true sense in the saying.
The Platonic irony-which is really the
feigning of ignorance In order to get man
to make fool of himself-may illustrate
this. And, to hook at the matter from an
other point of view, it may be seriously
maintained that we never really believe a
thing until we are able to ureat it sportive-
ly. The more profound our wisdom, the
more lightly we shall wear it. 1t is q ira
dition of the Catholic church In her col
leges and seminAries that all ethical ques-
tions should be dealt with humorously.
The professor Of moral philosophy in those
institutions is "der lustige," as the Ger
mans would say--the man who does the
comic business.
Carlyle in one of his early letters, speaks
of sense of the ridiculous as "bfotherly
sympathy with the downward side" 1t is
most pregnant saying. Twenty y-seven
millions, mostly fools" Well, better to
view them as fools than as knaves. For the
emotion raised by folly is rather pity and
ruth than anger Then, again, the ludi-
crous, and especially the variety of it which
we call satire, is an inestimable instrument
of moral police; I do not say of moral ref
ormation. What moral reformation really
means is the conversion Of the will from
bad to good. And do not think satire, as
a rule, likely to effect that But it Is GER
tainly most effective deterrent. Fort

Gavarnl, vernet and Meissonier.

Although not counting among the seri-
GUS artists Of the day, since he was at best
only caricaturist, Gavarni was frankly
ard exclusively modern, but none the less
was he master of composition and a GER
tain sort of conventional grace He found
beauty still existing out of the range of the
antique.
The battle pictures of Horace Vernet be-
long as little to romanticism as the carl
catures of Gavarni The genius of both
was essentially restricted. Neither was
Meissonier, although belonging to the same
date, in any way associated with the ro-
mantle moment He had nothing in COM
mon with Delacroix, AIRY Scheffer, Louis
Boulanger, Decamp or the Deverias. He be-
longed to the school of good sense and was
scrupulous in detail and the verifcatiop of
nature 1t was strange thing to say, but
true, that so successful an artist, whose
works obtained almost fabulous prices,
never displayed the whole extent of his
capability. The public taste and require
ments circumscribed his talent in sort of
magic circle from which he could not es-
cade. His Smoker" his 'Drinker," his
Reader" found such general favor that
he had to reproduce the original type, di-
versifying it as much as possible 1t is q
great art to inspire interest with single
figure, and Meissonier could doubtless had
he so willed have done more and even bet
ter. At rare intervals he widened what
was called his bonne petite existence In
time, his calm interiors, his old buffets,
his china vases and took up grand and

A PnllfA RallIaY.

A correspondent Of the London Times
has discovered In the French national
archives an original memorandum in
which the famous sea rover, Paul Jones,
told the story Of one Of the occurrences
connected with his rid on the British
coasts in 177a Jones wrote:
Returning on board the Ranger, the
wind being favorable, sailed for the Scot
tish coast Ny intention was 70 capture
the Earl Of Selkirk and detain him as a
hostage. Accordingly the same day, April
23, 1878, about noon, having with me
single boat, only two officers and small
guard, 1 landed on that nobleman's estate.
On landing met some Of the inhab-
itants, who taking me for an Englishman,
told me that Lord Selkirk was then in
London, but that my lady, his wife, and
several Indy friends were at home. This
made me resolve to return Immediately TO
my boat and go back to the Ranger. This
moderate conduct was not to the taste OF
my men, who were inclined to pillage,
burn and devastate all they could. Though
this would have been making war after
the fashion Of the English, / did not think
it fit to initiate them, especially on this oc-
casion, considering what was due to lady.
It was necessary, however, to find some
compromise to satisfy the cupidity of my
crew and to spare Lady Selkirk. l had

me best to reconcile everything was to or

even wished to come to the beach, mil

HINTS TO TRAVELLERS.
How the Meek Wanderer Should Conduct
Himself When ON the Rail.

The following hints and observations
have occurred to me during recent trip
across the continent. They are written in
no spirit Of complaint against existing
railroad methods, but merely In the hope
that they may prove useful to those who
travel, like myself, in spirit Of meek,
observant ignoranoe:
/. Sleeping in a Pullman car presents
some difficulties to the novice. Care
should be taken to allay all sense of dan
ger. The frequent whistling Of the engine
during the night Is apt to be q source Of
alarm. Find out, therefore, before trav-
cling the meaning Of the various whistles.
One means station, two railroad cross
ing" and so on. Five whistles, short and
rapid, mean sudden danger. When you
hear whistles In the night, sit up smartly
In your bunk and count them. Should
they reach five draw on your trousers over
your pyjamas and leave the train instant

dent sleep with the feet toward the en.

or with the head toward the engine II you

An Enulish View of Lord Duftertn.

Thew graced actor leaves the stage
Lord Dufferin, by rights, ought TO have re-
tired some time ago, but his time was ex-
tended. He has been viceroy of Canada,
viceroy of India, ambassador at St Peters
burg, and he has ended with Paris, the
blue ribbon of the diplomatic turf. And
yet it would be difficult 10 say to what
moral or intellectual qualities he owes his
extraordinary success. A great man he as
suredly is not in any sense of the term. He
is very bad linguist, even for our diplo-
matte service, and it isimpossible to point
to any treaty that he has negotiated or any
difficulty that he has settled in Europe.
Neither in Canada nor in India will his
name be associated with any reform or leg
islative achievement, though no doubt it Is
true that in these days the initiative Of
ambassadors and viceroys has been destroy
ed by the telegraph. Perhaps Lord Duffer-
in's greatest merit is that he has On in
stinctive eye for theline of least resistance,
which he has waysfollowed with the ease
and gayety of well bred Irishman. He Is
not a wit, but he says pleasant and point
ed things at the right time to the right
people He will now retire. Saturday Re-

The Character of Her Mistress Guests Did |
Not Please Her.
The wife OF q member Of the cabinet
brought with her to Washington last fall
an old fashioned colored nanny who is
famous for her piety and her cooking, and
the dinners she has prepared during the
last two seasons have been the delight OF
the cabinet circle and the diplomatic corps
because they have been SO different from
the conventional dinners furnished by fash
ionable caterers and French chefs. There
has been nothing like them in Washington
since the war. But the other day Aunt
Melinda came to her mistress with very
solemn air and decided that she was going
back to Georgia, that she could not live
in "dis hyah wicked, God forsaken town
no moh."
A little questioning disclosed the cause
of dissatisfaction. Mammy's heart was
broken.

"But, Linda" demonstrated the mis-.

their fault. They never pretended to be.

"But Jesus was foreigner" responded
