The Exploit of N .Lndy.v

A special request has been sent to
the ladies who reside in the naval
academy to forego visiting the lower
part of the academy grounds, where
the prisoners are located. In spite of
this, several of the ladies walk in the
neighborhood of the Spanish quarters.
One, little less timid than others,
engaged in conversation with Eulate,
much to the discontinue of the lat
ter, who appeared restless and uneasy
at the lady's presence. She. not in
the least daunted, approached Eulate
near enough to cut button from his
coat. Eulate became indignant, but
with the taunt that "you got your de-
serts" the lady walked on, triumph
antly bearing her souvenir button.-

ANOTHER CHANGE.
New York Papers Coming Through the

JernOOn.

New York Papers Coming Through the
Post-Onice VIII Not Arrive Until Az
JernOOn.
In the general order received at the post
office Wednesday was the statement that
the train from New \ ork to Springfield.
Mass, which, since May Q, has left New
York at 3 a. NJ. would hereafter run on its
old schedule, starting from New York at >
a. A. This means a difference of several
hours in the arrival of the train at Spring
field, and consequently the New ! ork pa
pers received through the post-office. which
have, for the last two weeks been getting
here in the morning, will not arrive until
the afternoon train due here at 2.07.
The notice of this change had not been
received at the post-ofice before this morn
ing, and the reason for it is not known. 1t
is thought by the mail clerks, however,
that so much mail was sent on the train
thar it could not be handled in one car.
and that the railroad company would not
allow a second car to be put on.
1t is possible that the papers may be
sent from New FORK on an early train
which goes as far as New Haven, and if so
they will probably be received here at Il:lO
in the morning.
