Vandal at Shelley's Grave.

A correspondent who visited the FRO
testant cemetery at Rome the other day
reports an act of silly vandalism at
Shelley's grave. ''As we wandered
about" says the correspondent, I'VE saw
for about half an hour a young man
tourist sitting ON Shelley's grave, care
fully occupied in cutting the marble with
a sharp instrument.
I'VE thought he was restoring the LET,

that he had cut his own name (Which l

Dog With Ice Appetite.

There is a little brindle bull terrier not
more than three blocks from the Post
building which has developed an nm
wonted appetite for ice. Each morning
as the wagon with the CONCEALED fluid
arrives Pansy may be seen at the door
in an attitude of expectancy. Directly
that the small chunks begin to fall Pansy
gets busy chewing ice and keeps the
game up until the wagon rolls away.
The driver said the other morning.
That's the only dog l ever ran across
with a thirst, for ice. They tell me il
doesn't drink. so I'm inclined 10 believe
its a real Esquimau strayed from home.
The owner tells me that one morning
lately. when | was held up and didn't
get here on time, that darned dog howled
two solid hours for ice. Washington

How a Spirit Was Laid.

A ghost. a vague white form which
fitted about a small neglected grave
yard in Galway. much to the alarm of
those who lived near by. one of the
gentlemen of our party undertook to lay.
Going out not far from midnight he did,
indeed, soon become aware of white

darkness. Our friend, however, held on
his way undeterred.
Ghost" he said in sepulchral tones
when he came near, could you drink a

THE COMING OF THE FIREFLrEs.

In clouds the wind had woven all day.
The world without a shadow lay,
So rclosely did the darkness creep:
Without Pickering leaf at play
So sound the wind was fallen asleep.

And every fields a cloth o. gold,

ed States. Mr.. Birrell is distinguished
literary man. He is the son of noted
non-conformist clergyman. and was born
in Liverpool in 1850. He was grad
uated from Cambridge University in

1t is noted in Washington that for
the first time in many years the United
States will be the summering place OF
all the foreign ambassadors and minis
tiers with the exception of only one
Baron Mayor DIES Planches, the Italian
ambassador 1t has been a not infre-
qucnt thing for number of the chief
diplomats to pass the summer i'll their
own countries, leaving subordinates in
charge here. That only one of them is
likely to be absent this year is held to
be due to the unusual number of inter
national questions, great and small,
which are now pending. In the absence
of Baron Mayor DIES Planches the Aus
trian ambassador, Baron Hengelmuller
will be the acting dean of the foreign
diplomatic corps. The Office of dean
while largely honorary is not entirely so.
The privilege of heading the line at the
New Years day and diplomatic reeep-
tons at the white house is not all that
the office carries with it. In case of
need it is to the dean that the President
looks to arrange for bringing the diplo-
matte corps together.

l.. d., dean Of Yale college, will resign
his position after one more academic
year of service Nc man is more widely
known to Yale men and probably no
one official has entered into the lives of
50 many undergraduates as Dean
Wright. He was made Durham profess
sor Of Latin in 1875 and held this posi-
ton until 1884, when he was under dean
of Yale college. 1t was said recently
that no successor to Prof. Wright has
been discussed as yet, and that under
the new rules of the corporation the
office may be abolished. Dean Wright
was graduated at Yale in the class of
1868. and has been in the service of Yale
since that time. He reached the volun-
tary retiring age. siXty-fve years, two
years ago, but decided to remain longer
as the dean. owing to his excellent health
and the request of the faculty, who fore
saw the coming change of system.

Gen. NJ. G. Butler is bitterly
opposed to the denomination OF
William Jennings Bryan, and
declares if Bryan is again nom
mated, he will vote for the Re
publican candidate. Think of
such a declaration coming from
the father Of the Red.shirt move
ment in South Carolina. NJ. G.
Butler and Mart Gary, of Edge
field, were the founders of the
movement which Wrested South
Carolina from the control of the
carpetbagger, these two men
were working for white supre-
macy when Hampton was on his
plantation in Mississippi, and
now to hear such an man who
has done so much for his country
in war and in peace, declare if
Bryan is again nominated he will
not stand by the democracy that
makes such nomination. There
must be a cause for this, General
Butler IS too true to his State to
do anything which in anyway
would reflect discredit upon
himself or his State. If Bryan
is Populist as General Butler
claims, then it is up to the peo-
ple of South Carolina to say
whether they are Democrats or
Populists. Ifthey are Democrats
and Bryan is a Populist, some
other leader should be chosen.
