Xct > ; Now that wo linvo rival electric lighta in Omaha wo.may oxpoot cheap illumi nation. , Now that wo have got a charter for an other bridge , what are wo going to do about il ? THE democrats must not bo deceived into the belief that they can beat Blatno nnd Logan with a dead man. ACOORDINO to the Republican the ticket It Tliuraton and Blaine Wo thought it waa Blaine and Logan. LINCOLN' may boast of being the atato capital , but she has no baao ball club. She will rcmtin a second oasa town until eho becomes B patron of the national game. TUH Flower bar'l is likely to bo aa in fluential in Now York aa the Standard oil bar'l wasin , Ohio. It will take n good deal of ycnat , however , to make the Flower rise. HAD Mr. Blaine been aware of the foot that Charley Bancko's Omaha 'Post and Telegraph voa going to flop over to the democracy , lie never would have consent ed to become a candidate. ILLINOIS and Maine clasped hands in I860 , when Lincoln nnd Ilamlin were nominated , and again in 1884 Maine clasped hands with Illinois in the nomi nation of Blaine nnd Logan. Six thousand venders of fruits and vcg etablosaro licensed to walk the streets of Paris. But if n poor ornngo peddler opens his mouth on the streets of Omaha ho is pretty sure to bo arrested by order the mayor. THE bids for street cleaning are nil outrageously high , nnd as a consequence they will nil have to bo rejected and now bids advertised for. Meantime wo better submit to the dust and mud rather than to bo robbed. THE grand jury will probably bo in sea sion for a week or ton days longer. It is very likely that they will find aomo indict' ' monts that will have a beneficial effect on the community , and at the same time 'boy will not surprise anyone. THE ordinance prohibiting cattle run ning at largo within the city limits should bo strictly enforced. Omaha is no longer a cow pasture , although some people aooin to think so , especially these who own cows nnd wnnt them to food in the front door yards nnd upon the lawns of their neighbors. AMONO the important measures thai will engage tho'nttontion of the house this week is the bill to repeal the pre emption nnd timber-culture lawa. Thu pre-emption law was gotten up for the benefit of speculators , and the timber- culture act was pojsacd in the interest ol land sharks. TOM OAMPIIBLL , iho Cincinnati lawyer who defended Bonier , whoso convictlot of manslaughter instead of murder was the causa of the riots , is now on trial 01 the charge of attempting to bribe a jury man. The Cincinnati bar nasoc'mtioi has presented aomo important informa tiou against Campbell. The Omaha bar association ought to follow the exam ] > l of their Cincinna'4 brethren and take Bomo stops to wood out the shysters ant jury-fixers. HAUDLY a day passes by without some stranger being robbed in this city by thi old confidence game known as the exprcsi package and bogus check racket. It wai only the other day that a man was robbot of ? 1,000 in this way , and the latest vie titn lost 8100. The confidence sharp' continue to flourish in and around Omaha with about the eamo impunity ai Canada Bill and his gang did ton years ago. No honest effort is made to arrest thorn or to rid the city of them , It is about tlmi that they were at'loaat run out of town The well-known English writer 01 political subjects , Mr. T. II. 8. Escott editor of "The Fortnightly Review , " will contribute to the July Century a carofu and critical estimate , including some an ecdotes , of John Bright aa an orator and a parliamentarian. lie concludes t the great English radical has nn innate conservatism which haa saved him fron extravagance , and although ho coiuldcri him neither o great administrator no : legislator , he ahowa why ho was india- penaible to the legislation of his time at an "eminently faithful reprepreaonta r tire of the English Character. " DA NVTLL'E.AND ClNCItfNA IT. The atrocious and bloody rioU , which occurred at the last fall's ' election in Vir ginia , wore only A counterpart of the loltticM murders that have disgraced the state of Mississippi over since the adop tion of Iho shot-gun policy. As toug t assassination can be resorted to with im- > unity to suppress the frco expression of wlitical sentiment through the ballot box our republican form of government must remain a farco. As long as the demo cratic jwrly obtains Its power nt the muz zle of the ( hot gun and the revolver the nistion of the republican party remains unfulfilled. The iqportwhich Jian just been mndo > y the democratic minority of the lonrric committee Uu\t ! > < i investigated the Dan ville riots is a most shamolcts attempt to ondono.if not to justifythoshot-Run poli- y. Instead of denouncing the cowardly murderers who deliberately shot down nd massacred n band of negroes who were attending the election , nt Danville , lie bourbon minority of the committee loint to thojhorrors of Cincinnati , where more than fifty persona were killed nnd wico that number wounded at the ocent riota , Ai if intent to add insult , o injury they ask furthermore how it would bo if the committee was appointed o ittvcatiqato the "killing < cf thu negroes n Ohio for the sale of their carcasses to ho medical colleges , " and to .report upon ho "atato of trade in that branch of American industry , nnd wkothcr it is ikoly to Interfere wii.h thu pork packing lusinoaa of the city of Cincinnati. For malignant stupidity the avernpo > ourbon democrat can only bo.compared o the .zealous defenders of po- ygamy. During tho. Utali debate n the senate last week a southern demo- ratio member attempted to prevent n udicial consideration of the Utah bill by attacking the morality of Now England , and insinuating that the meddlers of the north have enough polygamy to attend teat at homo. Such n line of opposition to lie Utah bill is a counterpart of the do- onso which the democrats on the Donate committee have made for the political outrages in Virginia and Mississippi. Whatever may bo the percentage of divorces in the north , how ever common may bo the crimes of its population they have no ) carint { on the Utah bill , This the poole - > lo of the south doubtless see as plainly as do thojo uf Now England. The qucs- ion as presented to congress is not ono of morals , religion or sentiment , but ono of law. The right or wrong of polygamy s not now in isauo. Years ago congress made the practice n crime. The ono ) oint now to bo gained is the enforce ment of respect for the statutes of the ; onoral government. It is the old con- oat of nullification against national law , and the fact that the nulllfiors are inhabi tants of a territory does not prevent the southern politicians from sympathizing with their bloodless rebellion. The Danville and Cincinnati riots afford no bettor parallel than there is between the crime of polygamy in Utah and indi vidual immorality in Now England. On the ono hand there was organized terror ism to deprive citizens of the free exor cise of their rights as electors. There was n conspiracy to murder black mda , not on account of their race , but because they were known to bo republican voters. There was n deliberate and successful attempt to suppress the known will of the majority and in lieu thereof to substitute fraudulent returns , which gave to demo crata positions of honor and trust , to which they had not boon rightfully elected. The Cincinnati riot was , on thooontrary , without political significano. Honest men of all parties nnd all races , wrought to frenzy by the outrageous failure of the law olHccrs nnd juries to vindicate the law against murder , banded together to take the law into their own hands in order that cold-blooded murderers should bo justly dealt with. This was the only object of the Cincinnati mob , mid no body but the law ofllcors nnd worthless juries can bo hold responsible for the terrible work. It i < n moat remarkable commentary on the political morals ol the democratic party that its representa tives in congress should seek to palliate tlio crimes committed by political mobs in Virginia , instead of denouncing then : as they deserve. If anything were wantIng - Ing to convince intelligent men in thu north that free speech and a free bnllol would bo utterly impossible in the south if thu democrats should capture the white house , the report of the bourbon minority of the senate committee affords ample proof. have a free grans issue in Texas , which is likely to send many a man to gross between now and the next election. It will take from the present time until the election to got pooplu to understand what is meant by free grass. With the Croat cuttle kings it moans the right to use the public lands for the pasture o ! their immense herds , while it is sough ! to make the owner of ono or two cows believe that they must bo kept strictly on his own ground. TUB lower house is now wrestling witl the river and harbor appropriation bill From an economic standpoint it is rlijht fully opposed by many leading members as altogether too promiscuous. Like al omnibus legislation , the river and harbor bill takes in all odds and ends , the crooks and duck ponds between lake Superior nnd the gulf of Mexico , It has been customary by the eminent "garden sass1 statesmen , who compose the lower house , to insist upon appropriations for their own potted locality , whether they are entitled to them or not. As a natural result thu great arteries of commerce and the principal inland harbors receive but a more pittance of the whole oppropriu tion. Thia has been e pccinlly true of the 'Missouri river , which has had stop- fatherly treatment frora'Unclo Sam for JCM6. It ia almost a 7Mto of money to dump n few hundred car loads of lime- atone and willow into ( ho river at the principal towns between St. Louis and Ft. Benton every season and see them waohod down the Big Muddy during the following spring rise. .If congress had Lho oagaclty to insist upon ft broad , coin- [ irchonsivo system of river improvement , , which Included not merely the pulling outoC snags and the building of dykos.but substantial river walU ic'front of every argo town nnd city , there would bo some object in getting liberal appropriations. Out the present system itn shame and a fraud , designed mainly to . keep Major Sutor nnd his gang of sharps in high clo ver. "iViowing the matter from this standpoint shall not be.very unhappy if tho.river and harbor bill goes by the board. IT is1 high time now that congress hould take sumo stops in providing for , ho counting of the oloctoal vote. Some , imo ago the sonata passed tholEdmunds bill. It provides that the two houses of congress ahall moot jointly to .count the vote- When it reached the house it was amended by M < * . Eaton so as to require .ho two houses to moot in joint onvon- ion. The amendment changes the char acter of the original measure entirely. If tlio two houses moot jointly each house will , in the decision of any point on which hey differ , act as A whole , or in other words ono house will have just as much voice as the other. This is the Edmunds ) lnn. The ono proposed by Mr. Eaton ivcs each member of the two houses a voto. Under its provisions the demo crats would just nnw have n largo ma jority. This will load the republican senate to object to the amendment , and there is little prospect therefore of the two houses being able to agree on the question. In view of the fact that the margin In cither house is very close in the coming campaign , it Is to bo hoped that patriotism rather than partisanship will govern , and that some measure which is just and equitable to nil parties will bo adopted before congress adjourns , THE rod-hoaded rooster from Colorado is full of impractical schemes of bonovo- lonco. His latest noble charity is a homo For disabled confederate soldiois , for which ho desires congress to appropriate $500,000. The Chicago Herald com- nonts on this scheme in the following caustic editorial : If Judge Belford , representative in congress from Colorado , was n democrat , what "n hubbub his bill appropriating $500,000 for the erection of a homo for disabled soldiers would raho. The news- lapors would bo full of denunciations of lis measure and of rumorn of additional schemes to pay the rebel debt and pen sion rebels of high and low degree on the public treasury. Every it imp in the country would ring with eloquence. Every good republican who had a dollar would clutch it closer lest some highhanded - handed brigadier would como along and demand it in settlement of some prepos terous war claim. Yet there would be no more occasion for such a display of fooling it some cranky democrat made such a proposition than there is because a feather-head republican did it. Belford ia a loyal republican , but ho is off hia balance. Belford as ho is is not of much value to anybody. Belford as a democrat would bo a bonanza to the re publicans. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ EIGHT years ago Nebraska sent a dele gation to Cincinnati , and they voted for Blaine first , lost nnd all the timo. Four years ago the Nebraska delegation voted for Blaine until Maine had gone over to Oarfield , and then they cast their votes for the successful man. James A. Garfield - field was acceptable to all factions of the party in this stnto , hut nobody though ! of making heroes out of the delegates. The ovation was tendered to Judge Cronnso , thu chairman , who was fully as good n republican nnd na prominent ir.nn ns John M. Thuraton. ButCroutmo was not a railroad lobbyist. IIu line never run an "oil room" nt Lincoln while the legislature waa in acseion. Ho had never countenanced ballot-box smashing and bribery in conventions , nnd ho has nuvcr stumped Nebraska for land sharks bond-grubbers like that magnetic Thura ton 1ms. Honcu tin ) propriety of nn ovation to Thurston , under the guise oi ratifying the nomination of James G. Blnino. Mit. THUHSTON'H course was not only admired by Nubraakans. Not a man in the convention attracted * moro attention by his positions and his presentation of them than did ho. Omaha Jtepubll- can. can.With With Mr. Thurston's course wo have no fault to find. But the Itcpublioitu is thu only paper that wo know of which hits discovered in him a great loader. The Chicago Tribune , the most enthu siastic Blatno paper in the west , comph monted Thuraton a * a begogghd nnc bo-ribboned dude , who was oil * his base most of the time , If ho had only painted his white hat red , likoQoorgo W. Brooks , ho would have attracted as much atton tlon as the fiery Tom Ochiltrco. THE oft-rupcated recommendation thu details of regular troops bo made to take part in the encampments of state militia is to bo caariod out at Dubuqne. Two field batteries from Foit Snolling and i battalion of infantry from Fort Omaha with full camp outfit , have been ordoret to the acono. Thia will give the camp little more of a professional air , and bo a really useful innovation. Crack infantry companies in the militia companies have nothing to fear from the regulars , per hape , in point of drill ; but there are many things to learn besides the manual. GimiuiE has accepted nn invitation from the grand jury to col ! on that body. Ha knows moro than ho is willing to tell. SENAXOUS1 BNUPF-WOXK9. .lecftC Bnssctt , the Oldest. Senate Kmttlojc , Tolls Tliclr History. tVanlitngton Star. Ono of the moat familiar figures con nected with the annato ia Capt. Isaac 5nssott , the venerable assistant door- cooper. For nearly fifty-three years ho ifts boon an employe of that body. Ilia athor Simon Bassott , of Massachusetts , was incMongor in charge of the senate chamber in the first quarter of the pro- century. Capt , Bassott , in chatting Saturday , aaid that when a boy ho used , o follow his father in the discharge vl lia duties nbout the chambar. Daniel Webster'frequently took notice of him , nnd ono dny , patting him kindly on the icad , aaid. "My eon , how would you like : o bo a page I1' The boy thought ho would like it , and his father gave his conaontMr. . Webster , " continued , ho captain , ' -'consulted with aomo of the aonatora. There was only ono page then. Moat of thoaonatora said : 'Oh , wo don't iced anotherpago , ouo ia enough , But \Ir. \ Webster inatatod that there oughHo 10 two ono.on.each aide. It waa vhiga and democrats then. The Bcrgonl-nt- arma , Mr. Bailey , , waa Boon by Mr. Wob- a tor , and finally agreed to appoint mo at , ho next session of congress , and on the Hii of December1831,1 was appointed a page and I havoioon here over since. " "Havo jou always kept bozos filled with snuff for the use of senators as you do now ? " inquired the reporter , pointing , o the two anuff-boxoa , ono nn each side nnd back of the presidents desk , resting upon the wainscot molding. "No ; that started when Mr. Fill more WAS vice pre sident. It was my custom then to keep a box of snuir on the vice president's doak , for ho took snuff regularly. Well , ; ho senators used to atop up to the dcak : o got a pinch of anuff it waa a very common habit in these days and they would stop to chat a while with the vice president. Sometimes two or hroo senators would bo standing nt the same time by the vice president's desk , each with a pinch of muffin his fingers , and all of them talk- ng to Mr. Filmoro. . Ono morning the vico-prealdout called mo , and said : 'Bas sott , I want vou to take this snuff-box away from hero. I can't undoratand what is going on in the chamber because ) f the interruptions and the conversa tion of senators who como here for snuir. ' Mr. Fillmore , " continued Capt. Bassott , "suggested that there had bettor 30 a box on each side of the chamber. I jot thoao snuff-Doxes , " pointing to the ; wo plain black ones still in use , "nnd lave kept them filled , on each aide of the chamber over ainco. " In ono corner of the republican cloak room atanda an old-fashioned iron-safe. 2apt. Bassott unlocked it and drew out ; ho snuff-box that waa presented to him jy the senators on the completion of his ifty years service under that body. It a of solid silver , lined with gold , and on : ho lid is an inscription showing that it WOR presented to the captain by the sen ators ns a testimonial of their esteem and respect for him. The snuff-boxes are but seldom resort- id to in these days. Both are kept filled jut Senator Hampton ia the only moni tor of the body who is a regular snuff- : nkor , nnd ho rarely uses the senate snuff. Ho carries a small box in his vest-pocket : , from which ho gota his pinches. Sometime11 Senator Beck stops to the rear of-tho'-'chbtnber * and takes a pinch out of aomo of the boxes. Occa- usually Mr. Ingalla takes a small pinch , and now and then Mr. Edmonds helps himself. A CRANK'S FUNNY YAUN. Claiming Miss Astor and W. II. Van- ilcrWlt as His Friends. Now York World. An alleged intimate friend of Miss Astor - tor and William H. Vanderbilt was arres ted Wednesday. Ho gave hia uamo aa Mr. Butler , "Mr.Patrick Butler , sir , " and said he lived at No. 827 Third avon- uo. Hii indignation ac the insult put upon him by the arrest was supreme , and ho threatened to appeal to his powerful friends for protection. If ho felt so dis posed , a few lines from him tn Mr. Vanderbilt - dorbilt would at once secure his release and bring summary punishment upon his captors. So ho rattled on as his captors , two policemen belonging to the Forty seventh street stntion-houao , hurried him away from the Union stock-yards at the foot of Ejat Sixth street. lie had been caught prowling around nnd was taken in as a crank. His examination was held before Justice Murry , in thu Yorkvillu court , who committed him to await an ia qiiirv into his eanity. "Yuas,1' ho driiwloJ , in answer to i question by thn judj-o. "Ynis , I wont up to the stock jiirilw to look after my property. I own the yards you know Bought them moro than n ytmr go fion my friend , Mr. Vunderbilt Mr. Will iam H. Vandwrbilt. You sou , Wtllio 1 always call him Willie did not need the yards , and as I thought of going inti busiiios'protty Inruely , I paid him ? 2 , OOO.COO for the pluoj , 1 was up there making arrangements for now sheds when those follows ( * itli a contemptuous t-lunco at thu policemen ) interrupted mo. " Officer Corey asked how ho had secured the $2,000,000 , and Mr Butler explained : " 01) ) , I hod money of my own nnd could have paid cash for the purchaae , but my friend , Mias Astor , hearing thai I wanted the yards , insisted on lending mo the money. Connie , as she bogs mete to call her , is ono of my best , my doavost friends , Dear Connie , " and closing hii eyes ha drifted off into a rhapsodical rev erie of the young lady. Loaning forward in a confidential way and speaking in low tones , Mr. Butler told the "secret of his life. " "Novorhavo I , " said ho "breathed n word of this to mortal ears. But now you shall know all. Some years _ ago Miss Aster fel madly in love with mo , and by little signs , perceptible only to a lover , she lo mo know her heart was mino. I was 01 the point of asking her to bo mine whoi the thought struck mo , 'Does she eat fatl' Through great finesao I aacortalnet that slip did not like fat absolutely hated it in fact and of course I btoki off the match. Poor thing if she hat only boon different. But it would never do to have two that oat only loan it ouo family , " and the disconso late gentleman wiped a tear from hia eye with the corner of hia coat tail. Then ho went on to deacribo the inner life of the young lady whom he chimed was hia friend , detailing minutely her tnsto for chocolate creams and for mor occo prayer books , Ilia relations with Mr. Vaudorbuilt had been pleasant , bul friends of the latter had tried to poiaou the mind of Mr. Vanderbilt against him. "Tho lost time I was at dinner ut his house , " the crank wont on , "something waa wrong with the firo-eacapo , and he blamed mo. Noin the name of all that is good , what have I to do with i firo-eacape1 ? Butler ia well known about the stock yardt , whuio ho puses as "tho great Irish detective. " Ho carries htigo mcmoran- lum books , and when a thought strikes litn ho flits down in the middle of the street to record it. Dally reports of his work nro forwarded to Mr. Vanderbilt , the acorns to bo his patron saint. Near- r every day ho playa n different charact er. Now ho ia "Old Sleuth , " with slouch hat nnd rough clothes , following up some imagine y clow. Then ho bloa- aoma out as n man nbout town , wcara hia hat jauntily on ono aide , md , with a eprig of grenn in his button , hole , talks largely of his moneyed Into , rests. So ho carries himself during the week , and on Sunday forsakes his old munts for the Thirty-fourth street 'for- sfle Here ho stays patiently nil day , ontly watching the passengers going ! and coming nnd making mental notes ol the profit derived from each. Ho claimed that the ferry was hie , and worked hard arranging the carriages out side in line. The hnckmon submitted pood-naturcdly to bo ruled by lum and obeyed his instructions ns they would these of n policeman , On Sunday Mr. Duller never spoke nf his love for Miss Astor or of his friendship for "Willlo. " That was a purely week-day fiction. Ho ia perfectly harm less , nnd It is thought will not bo sent to nn asylum. BISA1AIUC AS A BMOKEIt. Ills Audacity and Coolness in the 1'rcBcnco ofHIs bupcrlors. ISusch's I.ifo ol IStsmark. The following amusing account of the manner in which the piinco treated the Austrian president at Frankfort , who nonopolizcd the privilege of smoking , is 'rom Bismarck himself. I asked about the famous civar incident. "Which one do you meant" "That in which your ox celloncyfinding Uochbcrg smoking , lit up ono too. " "You moan Tinin. Yes ; that waa n simple matter enough. Ho asked mp to vait a miouto. I did wait some timo. When 1 began to foul bored , however , as 10 did not offer mo a cigar , I took ono ) utofmy pocket and asked him for a ight , which ho gave mo with astonish- nont depicted upon his countenance. But there is another story of the aamo sort. At , the sittings of the military com- nittoo , when Itochow represented Prussia at the federal diet , Austria smoked alone. Ilochow , who was an nvotornto smoker , would have gladly done the same , but did not dare to , When I arrived , seeing no reason to .ho contrary , I naked the presiding power to oblige mo with a light. Thia request wna apparently regarded by the chairman and the other gentleman with amazement and displeasure. Obviously , it was nn event. As matters then stood , only Aus- ria and Prussia smoked. But the others considered it a question of such impor- anco that they reported upon it to their respective governments. Somebody must have written Berlin about t , too ; for an inquiry reached mo from lis late majesty , who was not a smoker , and probably did not find the occur- once to his taste. The incident called or serious consideration at the smaller courts , and six months elapsed , during which only the two great powers smoked. [ ? hen Schronkh , the Bavarian , began to vindicate the dignity of his position , by n moking. Noatita , the Saxon , hnd loubt'eas ' a great mind to do as much , mt had not received permission from his minister. When , however , at the next sitting , ho law the Hanoverian , Bothmer , light up , ] o must have como to some arrangement with RechborgNostitz ( under Aus trian influence , having two sons in the Imperial J army ) , for ho took a cigar out of his case and puffed away vigorously. The only onea left wore the Wurtem burger and the Darmstadter , neither of whom smoked. But the honor and importance of their states imperatively repaired that they should smoke , and so the next time the Wurtombergor ( Von Reiuhardtalso ) produced n weed I think I see it now , a loner , thin , palo yellow thin'tho color of rye straw and smoked it with sullen determination hall through , as a burnt sacrifice for his Suabiun fatherland. The only ono who altogether refrained from tobacco was the representative of Heaso Dramatadr. Kivals of Lilly The coaching club parade was a crodil to Now York , Bays a writer in The Brooklyn Eaglo. Thorn were twice as many drags as over before appeared In line on coaching day , and the driving was very creditable. Undoubtedly the prettiest girl in the parade was Misa Mar ion Langton. Slio bids f.iir to become as great u bpauty in Now York as Mrs. Lmgtry did in London. Very many people recognized her as uho swept p.isr , and pointed her out to her friends. There is no doubt , I suppose , that Mm Liinifdpn is the belle rf Now York. She is a bright , witty , nnd graceful girl , high ly accomplished , and endowed with f ruiil wealth. She is a niece of Mre. William Astor , nnd a step-daugluca of Phillip Schuylor with whom she lives in Wash ington placo. It ia said that Miss Lang- ton is cold and nuatero , but I fancy that manner ia acquired rather that natural , A girl who hun broken engagements with Congressman Perry Biilmont and youiif Hurry Slovens ia certainly entitled ti treat men with more or leas contempt. Miss Lanu'ton's beauty ia n coed deal o : the same typo ai tl av of M sa CliRinber- lair , who nus created a furoru 111 Londoi for the past two years. Both nru tall , ulini mid graceful , and their facet * an characterized by fineness of feature ant dolicncv of outline , Miaa Langdon'a for. . tuuo of $1,000,000 comes to her next year , n hen she will bo 21 years of age. Shu and Miss Chamberlain will dovidu the honors at Newport this year , unless ono of them makes a clean bweop and routs the other , Thia is hardly possi B ble when both of thorn nro BO beautiful. ' Opinions about Mias Chamberlain , how ever differ greatly. The English people ' and the press are loud in her nraiso and think her the most beautiful girl in En gland , but many Americana inoist thai there are thousands of- women hero who are much more beautiful than Miaa Chamberlain , A girl who liasjust re turned from England told mo the other day that she considered Miss Chamber lain anything but a beautiful woman. She said the first time aho met the American beauty waa when aho went to her dentist's in London , She was wait ing in an anto-room , when the door opened and a till and graceful girl swepi through. She bade the dentist good day glanced coldly at the other visitors , and walked slowly from the room. Her cheeks were elaborately painted , even though it was in the morning , and though her features were well proportioned , she had a fagged-out and weary expression. Of course , howeror , the dentist may have boon responsible for some of this. All of the above lias litttlo to do with the Coaching club , however. Coaching day aettloa the winter's feativities officially. There will bo no more entertainments , of any consequence now. Spring aniuee incuts are in order. GEHUAHD AND HIS GIIOOM , A Tribute to 'Tlio Only Gentleman In America. " New York Timed. An exquisitely-dressed young man , on whoso chuck the bloom of health mantled in glowing colors , nnd on whoso _ dapi > or little person the latest novelty in rum mer suits fitted like a glove , wnmlcroi among the crowd of horsey men who pervaded Madison equaro garden yester day , where the aalo of the American horse exchange was continued. All the horsey gentlemen gazed nt the youth. .None recognized him. Ho hold himself aloof frjm the common herd. For two houra ho meandered among the horses , an unknown nnd solitary man. For two hours ho sucked the top of his wnlking- stick , and seemed to derive inestimable comfort therefrom. At last , however , the Into that comes to all who endeavor to elude the questions of the curious came io the mysterious visitor to Madison equaro garden. Battled by hia ailonco , n sagacious horse dealer at length announced that the gen tleman was none other than Frederick Gobhard. Ho had como to witness the aalo of a gray mare , and wished to avoid observation As the supposed owner of the name still continued along the oven tenor of his way , disdaining to apeak , n tenacious young dude , accompanied by two boon companions approached him. . "Hello , Gebhard , " the leader of the triumvirate exclaimed , "that cray mare of yours ia a daisy. We've all been ad miring her. " The youth addressed turned around nnd stared in amazement. "Hoard you'd gone to Newport , Mr. Gobhard , " hazardod'.tho second dudo. "Ia it Gebhard you're a-calling mo ? " nt length came from the dazed youth. "Well , you're kinder previous , ain't yo , now ? Don't know whether Freddie would bo complimented or not. I am , though. " The dudesquo triumvirate blushed sim ultaneously. There was a Hibernian ring in the voice which answered them , speak ing of a long acquaintance with the - Emerald erald ialo. "I'm Mr. Gebhard's groom , " ho con tinued , proudly , "and a d d poor man for all that , though L kinder turn out trim when it suits me'ho added , straight ening hia immaculate coat.
