Laughing Clubs.

Brooklyn, having produced many
things unusual, now comes forward as
the home of the latest pest of theater-
goers-the Laughing club" These clubs
are composed of membership of bois-
ferrous young men, who go in body to
the various theaters with the avowed
intention of breaking up or at least dis
turbing the performance. Each one af-
fects some especially harsh form of
laughter, and at intervals in the course
of the performance one or many of the
members laugh noisily. The organization
of these clubs is said to be directly due
to the amateur night in vogue ut many
variety houses. While the amateurs are
playing at these performances the audi
enee is permitted to say and even do
almost anything it likes. Taking part
in the performance has caught the fancy
of the young men who belong TO "lauglI-
ing clubs" and many playgoers have had
their enjoyment spoiled by them. The
ushers seem powerless TO eject members
of Laughing clubs, because they plead
that they are simply giving vent to their
feelings, and that they are at liberty to
laugh in any key.-New York Tribune.

and terror overwhelmed her.
Where had she met this man before,
with his hateful, yelled familiarity of
mannerf She searched willy through
her memory, but could not find the clue
A storm of despair and Indignation swept
over her. There was so much truth in
what he had said that she felt appalled,.
She had refused to marry Geoff, she
had declined Miss Perciyaps offer, she
had chosen her own course. But at all
risks Freda muet not know how things
were turning out. She would trust sole

was. hateful as her surroundings were,
until something else opened up for her.

sheet in the daily papers and apply for
the first suitable post. 1t must be easy
to get something, and when she did get it
she would leave Nine. st. Aubert
without an hours delay and escape from
this man who had presumed to insult
her.
Meantime should she or should she not
inform madame of the stolen visit he
had paid? He had told her what the
probable result of such disclosure would
be, and intuition warned her that he was
correct.
No hateful as silence was, there was
no other course open at present. Where
had he learned all about her. as he said
himselff What part had he already
played in her life?
The dim, elusive memory grew yet
more vague as she pondered, and then
wholly vanished She rose and crept
away to her room, feeling thoroughly
vretehed and frightened.

In the last two campaigns made by Johnson he materially in- creased the plurality which he gained in the first struggle, six years ago, and in his last race, two years ago he piled up a plurality of nearly 12,0O0-several thousand greater than the normal Republican plurality.

Detroit, Mich, JAM 29.-The flu

place at two o'clock Monday after
noon from his home on Fort street

Washington Jan. 30.-Under the

free distribution of garden and flow

cording to the methods as recon-
mended by the agricultural commit
tee in the appropriation bill.
Mr.. Jones of Washington made a
point of order against the amend
ment that no distribution of seeds
were authorized by law.
Mr.. Foster of Vermont in the chair.
sustained the point but admitted that
1t was an exceedingly close question.
We're it new proposition, there was
no doubt in his mind that it should
be sustained, but in view of the long
continued practice and some prece-
dents, he felt that the house should it.
self decide. In order that it might do
this he sustained the point.
Mr.. Gambler appealed from the deci-
sion and by vote of 81 to 1876 the
chair was overruled. The amendment
appropriating $23S,OOO for the free
distribution of ordinary seeds was
then adopted, as has been the prac-
tlce for a number of years.
On point of order made by Mr..
