replied.
A collateral result of this notice was
that two or three of the best photo-
graphic artists of the city had more
work on their hands than they
could attend to. The oirec'
result was sixty-fve letters

tenances as would fill good-sized al

charms and virtues of the daughters
The young man replied to each Oh
his correspondents that, before coming
to final decision, a personal view
would be Of advantage. To each OF the
ladies, without the knowledge of the
others, he sent ticket for an orches-
ira stall in the Scala Theater, an
nouncing that he himself would be in
a particular box, the number and sit
uation Of which he stated.
A few evenings later the play-going
public of Milan we're perplexed to ex-
plain the appearance of one of the
rows of stalls in that immense build
ing. A long line of beauties in toll
cites of extreme elegance, unbroken by
a single black coat, was observed.
Furtively, and with trepidation, did
each damsel from time to time raise
her opera glass to that box-the cyno-
sure of many bright eyes-in which
the graceful youth reposed.
Suspiciously, and with darkened
brow, did each damsel turn to the long
file of her neighbors, and wonder at
the magnetism which drew each glass
to the one central spot. BY and by the
audience, to whom some hint of the
secret had leaked out, began to give
audible signs that they enjoyed the
joke. The sporadic laughter of the
theater increased the confusion of the
young ladies, and the contagion Of fun
turned the sporadic mirth into gen.
eral roar.
At this point our informant drops
a veil over the scene.

built up the manufactures and wealth

that section OF our country, the New
York Times warns them that they
in so doing lose sight of the fact that
the logical result Of protection would
be commercial isolation"
Logic is defined as the science Of
the distinction Of true from false rea-
soning. If the result of the Dingley
tariff has effected the commercial iso-
lation Of this country the logical result
" developing the manufactures and
wealth Of the south might be its COM
mercial isolation. But the article In
question is headed Increasing Exports
from the SOUTH" but the increase as
shown has occurred since the Dingley
tariff went into effect, and we all have
been assured that If we don't buy we
can't sell.
The fact Is there is no logic in,
about, nor anywhere near the assertion
that protection leads to commercial
isolation. The editor of the Times has
apparently mistaken Mr.. Gladstones
advice that we grow more cheap cot
ton and wheat for logic.

A TRICK OF DIPLOMACY.
Curious story Connected With the
White House of Babel Mandeb.

On the foreshore of the Arabian coast
in the Straits of Babel Mandeb, at the
southern entrance to the Red Sea, stands
a large white house, concerning which,
the travellers TO the Far East may hear
a curious story. In the middle of the
century when NJ. de Lesseps, after many
difficulties, had successfully hoated the
Suez Canal Company, the Governor Of
the British port of Alden, about a hundred
miles distant, was surprised one morning
by the visit of French squadron of very
unusual size for that part of the Orient,
which having encountered terrific storm
off Socotra had put in for repairs.
In the mind of the Governor, curiosity
was at once aroused as to the destina-
ton of so large a commando curiosity
which increased as he found it impossi-
BILE to extract any further information
from the French admiral, or his officers,
beyond the statement that they were
upon an ordinary cruise, an explanation
which the former was not the least in
clined to believe. Firm in the belief.
therefore, that some political move of
great Importance was afioat If not afoot,
the Governor, in order first of all to
gain time, gave orders to go very tortoise
like on the repairs, and then set to work
to take the Frenchmeu off their guard by
giving a succession of such entertainments
as both his slender means and the aw-
full barrenness of the place would afford.
But though at the end OF two weeks the
French and British officers had got upon
the best of terms. the immediate destina-
ton of the French squadron remained az
much of a mystery to the Governor OF
Alden as before. and IN spite OF all possi-
BILE delay the repairs were nearly COM
pleted
Now II happened that the wife OF the
Governor possessed an Irish maid, who
had been receiving attentions from one
