Tor the girls bathroom, containing

FOR THE WAITER TO WEAR

1t is likely that in the near future
the buffers suit, when not in livery.
Will be a black frock coat closed high
IN clerical fashion, with metal buttons
and white tie, and the usual white
napkin laid over the hand he uses to
serve the table. His subalterns will
be arrayed in short, black, round coats,
also closed high, with metal buttons.
Each will wear white tie, and each
will have the right hand covered with
a napkin that is changed as often as it
is rumpled or soiled Certainly a dis
'tinctive dress, when in attendance, is a
convenience and sometimes it is a ne
cessity. White duck coats are already
much approved at country houses in
summer, and there are many reasons
to believe that such dress will become
the established custom with family
servants Good Form.

A VALENTINE.

T'other day as l was twining
Roses for a crown to dine in
What, of all things, midst the heap
Should light on, fast asleep,
But the little desperate elf,
The tiny traitor, Love, himself!
By the wings l pinched him up
Like a bee, and in cup.
Of my wine plunged and sank him.
Ard what dye think l did?
drank him!
Faith, thought, he's dead! Not he.
And now, this moment, with his wings
| feel him tickling my heartstrings

"SASSIETY" SHOCKED.

Certain elements of New York So
Getty have been shaken from center to
circumference by the announcement
that the proprietors of Delmonico's
restaurant intend to employ an
orchestra and permit smoking in the
main dining-room, which is patronized
by both sexes. Father Knickerbocker
may we'll rub his eyes and ask if these
things are true, but when he learns
that the prince of Wales has pro-
nounced in favor of women attending
smoking concerts our patriarchal
friend will doubtless go to sleep con-
tentedly again

SHOCKING THE BRITISH READER.

The London newspaper that has been
dropping the letter f'u'' in words like
labor and color and spelling program"
without the ''me," is now overwhelmed
with protests from readers against this
surrender to demoralizing American
ism in spelling. Such butchery of the
English tongue, they argue, should
never be condoned.-Springfeld, Mass,

SHE BETRAYED HERSELF.

Dipped Her Spoon In the Milk Before
the Mush.
The woman mentioned in this little
story will be called Mrs. Naughty, but
she is known in almost every commu-
nifty by other names. She is inclined to
do all she can to make other people be-
lieve she is somebody and that she is
fitted for higher sphere than the one
she is forced by adverse circumstances
to live in.
A short time ago Mrs. Naughty called
on neighbor and accepted an invitation
to stay to supper Mush and milk was
the principal supper dish, and Mrs.
Naughty declared with sundry ejacula-
lions that she had never eaten the de-
lightful compound. The steaming plat
ter Of musl was set in the center of the
table and a bowl of milk placed before
Mrs. Naughty.
"Just help yourself, Mrs. Naughty
remarked the hostess.
"Really, I do not know how to be-
GIN said Mrs Naughty as she picked
up her spoon.
Mrs. Naughty made move, and one
of the children at the table leaned over
to her mother and whispered:
"She said she never ate mush and
milk, but she dipped her spoon in the
milk before she dipped it into the
mush. -
That little movement gave Mrs.
HAT ghty away, for every lover OF mush
AID milk knows that if the spoon is
first dipped into the milk the mush will
not stick to it.-Omaha Wor1d-derald.

our only weapons being smooth bore
muskets.
The Seventh regiment, as is well
known, took the cars for Baltimore the
day after the rioters attack on the Sixth
Massachusetts, in the streets Of that
city. It was turned off the direct route
at Philadelphia and sent around by An
napolis, marching from that point to
Washington, in momentary expectation
of battle. Having had no drill or dis
cipline whatever, our awkward squad
was not considered equal to the emer
gency of that warlike trip, and SO we
were tossed about in our little propel-
Ter, the prey of countless fears, and
made rough voyage down the coast
from New York to Fortress Monroe. An
old timer black wooden gunboat sailed
with as up the Potomac from that point
to Washington.
1t was Sunday morning when we
landed at the navy yard, and there
seemed not q soul astir on shore. But
before the gangplank had been let down
we saw two gentlemen alight from q
barouche which suddenly whirled into
sight around the corner of a large build
ing and pulled up on the dock A very
tall man and very short one, In COM
parison, stood impatiently by while
plank was being lowered especially for
them, and the next moment President
Lincoln and Secretary Seward were ell
powlng their way among Tue pavrluuIu

handshake. A serious and almost IA
therly demeanor was shown by Lincoln

A Big Cattle Steal.

w. V. Kesterson, cattle dealer of
Little Rock, was arrested on a warrant
charging him with the detention of
fourteen head of cattle belonging to
other parties. There is most interest
ing story connected with the case. In
August last 800 head of cattle were
stolen from the ranch of Evans, Snider
& Co., who were feeding them near
Grand Prairie, in Arkansas county. De
tectives were put on the case, and the
cattle in the possession of Kesterson
are said to be the last of the bunch, all
the others having been rounded up in
Missouri, Kansas and Kentucky. The
original thieves succeeded in disposing
of the stock to reputable dealers, as in
the case of Kesterson, and they have
never been captured. 1t was one of
the largest, as well as one Of the bold
est, cattle steals on record. and seems
to have been the work of a thoroughly
organized gang.
