. A reUM aUioVer.
' A eomapondent of the London Times
hu discovered In tha French notional
archives an original memorandum In
which the famous sea rover, Paul Jones,
told the story of one of the occurrences
connected with hia raid on the British
coast In 1778. Jonet wrote:
Returning on board the Ranger, the
wind being favorable, I sailed for the Scot
tish coast, My Intention was to capture
the Earl of Selkirk and detain him as a
hostage. Accordingly the same day, April
S3, 1773, about noon, having with me
single boat, only two officers and a small
guard, I landed on that nobleman'sestata.
On landing X met some of the Inhab
itants, who, taking me for an Englishman,
told me that Lord Selkirk was then in
London, but that my lady, his wife, and
several lady friends were at home. This
made me resolve to return immediately to
my boat and go bock to the Ranger. This
moderate conduct was not to the taste of
my men, who were Inclined to pillage,
burn and devastate all they could. Though
this would have been making war after
the fashion of the English, I did not think
it fit to imitate them, especially on this oc
casion, considering what was due to a lady,
It was necessary, however, to find some
compromise to satisfy the cupidity of my
crew and to spare Lady Selkirk. I had
only a moment for choice. What seemed to
me best to reconcile everything was to or
der the two officers to go to the mansion
with my guard, which was to remain out
-side under arms while they alone entered.
They were then politely to ask for the fam
ily plate, to stay only a few minutes, to
take what was given them without de
manding anything more and return im
mediately afterward without proceeding
to any search.
I was strictly obeyed. The plate was
given up. Lady Selkirk told the officers
several times over that she was very sensi
ble of the moderation shown by me. She
even wished to come to the beach, a mllo
from her mansion, to Invito me to dine
with her, but the officers begged her not
to take the trouble to do this.
Gavarnl, Ternet and Meluonier.
Although not counting among the seri
ous artists of the day, since he was at best
only a caricaturist, Gavarnl was frankly
and exclusively modern, but none the less
was ho a master of composition and a cer
tain sort of conventional grace. He found
beauty still-existing out of the range of the
antique.
The battle pictures of Horace Vernet be
long as littlo to romanticism as the cari
catures of Gavarnl. The genius of both
was essentially restricted. Neither was

longed to the school of good sense and was
scrupulous in detail and the verification of
nature. It was a strange thing to say, Das
true, that so successful an artist, whose
works obtained almost fabulous prices,
never displayed the whole extent of his
capability. The public taste and require
ments circumscribed his talent in a sort of
magic circle from which he could not es-
cada His "Smoker," his "Drinker," his
"Header" found such general favor that
he had to reproduce the original type, di
versifying it as much as possible. It is a
great art to Inspire interest with a single
figure, and Meissonier could doubtless had
he so willed have done more and even bet
ter. At rare intervals he widened what
was called his bonno petite existence in
time, his calm Interiors, his old bullets,
his china vases and took up a grand and
satisfying subject Templo Bar.
Ridicule the Test of Truth.
It is said that ridicule is the test of truth.
And there is a true senso In the saying.
The Platonic irony which is really the
feigning of ignorance In order to get a man
to moke a fool of himself may illustrate
this. And, to look at the matter from an
other point of view, it may be seriously
maintained that wo never really believe a
thing until we are oblo to treat it sportive
ly. The more profound our wisdom, the
more lightly wo shall wear It It is a tra
dition of the Catholic church in her col
leges and seminaries that all ethical ques

institutions ls"der lustlgo, as the Got-
mans would say the man who does tho

Carlyle, in one of his early letters, speaks
of a sense of the ridiculous as "brotherly
sympathy with the downward side. " It is
a most pregnant saying. "Twenty-seven
millions, mostly fools." Well, better to
view them as fools than as knaves. For the
emotion raised by folly is rather pity and
ruth than anger. Then, again, the ludi
crous, and especially the variety of it which
we call satire, is an Inestimable Instrument

Emrllah Lodging Bonae Keepers,
The lurge hotels are rapidly ruining the
lodging houses in seaside and country re
sorts. Great is the lamentation 01 tne
landladies, yet thoy have brought the evil
on themselves. Their rapacity ana on
bridled Insolence have met with their own
reward. No sensible person now prefers the
comfortless antimacassar adorn ea rooms,
the dirty slavey, the smoky fires, the ill
oooked food and the long list of irritating
extras, culminating in the charge for tho
cruet so amusingly satirized in one or Mr.
Kendal's plays, to tho fixed prices, the
elootrio light and oivlL efficient waiters of
the up to dato hostelry, where disputes
over extras are Almost entirely obviated,
and both short and long purses are agree
ably catered for.
The race of lodging house keepers Is a
hated race, yet tho drift of modern progress
seems nover to have Influenced them.

burns mora coal In a week than a country
mansion would in a month, the charge for
washing and boot oleanlng and, worse, the
mulcting for lights, and the amount of
provisions consumed, make a lodging
rather dearer than a first class hotel. If
the large hotels have done nothing else,

S. I have devoted some thought to the
proper method of changing trains. The
system which I have observed to be most
popular with travelers or my own class is
something as follows: Suppose that you
have boon told on leaving New York that
yon are to change at Kansas City. The
evening before approaching Kansas City
stop the conductor in the aisle of the oar
you can do this beet by putting out your
foot and tripping him ana say politely,
"Do I change at Kansas City!"
Ho says, Yes."
Vary good. Don t believe mm. on
going Into tho dining oar for sapper take
a negro aside and put it to him as a per
sonal matter between a white man aud a
black whether be thinks you ought to
ohange at Kansas City. Don't be satisfied
with this. In the coarse or toe evening
pass through the entire train from time to
tlino and soy to people casually, "Oh, can
you toll mo If I change at Kansas City?"
Ask tho conductor about it a rew more
times in the ovenlog. A repetition of the
question will insure pleasant personal re
lations with him. Before falling asleep
watch for bis passage and ask him through
the curtains of your berth, "Oh, by the
way, did you soy I ohanged at Kansas
Qtyf" If be refuses to stop, book him by
the nook with your walking stiok and
draw him gontiy to your bedside. In the
morning when the train stops and a man
colls, "Kansas City all change I" ap
proach the oonduotor again and say, "Is
this Kansas City?" Don't be discouraged
at bis answer. Plok yourself up and go
to the other end of the cor and say to the
brakeman, "Do .you know, sir, if this Is
Kansas City?" Don't be too easily con
vinced. Remember that both brakeman
and oonduotor may be in collusion to do
oeive you. Look round therefore for tho
name of the station on the signboard.
Having found It, alight and ask the first
man you see if this Is Kansas City, hie
will answer: "Why, where In blank are
your blank eyes? Cant you see it there,
plain as blank?" When you hear language
of this sort ask no more, xon are now
In Missouri, and this is Kansas City.
8. 1 have observed that it is now the
practice of the oonduotors to stick bits of
paper in the hats of the passengers. They
do this, I believe, to mars wnicn ones
they like best The devloe is pretty and
adds much to tho soenio appearance of
the oar. But I notion, with pain, that the
system Is fraught with much trouble for
the conductors. The task or crusning two
or throe passengers together In order to
reach over them and stick a ticket Into
the chinks of a silk skullcap, is embarrass
ing for a oonduotor of refined feelings. It
would be simpler If the conductor should
carry a small hammer and a packet of
sblngre nails and nail the paid np passen
ger to the bock of the seat, or, better still,
let the oonduotor carry a sinau pox oi paint
and a brush and mark the passengers In
such a way that be cannot easily mistake
them. In the case of baldheaded passen
gers the hats might be politely removed
and rod crosses pointed on the oranlums.

Of all the lessor lights in the commer

the medium of the receiving teller's bank,
there was one firm which he had singled
out as a special mark for his aversion. It
was a recently organized concern that had
started out with a very modest capital, and
the first time the woman who had been
employed as maid of all work around the
office went over to the banking house to
make a deposit she carried throe checks
amounting to 147.85. The receiving teller

The wWs of a member of the cabinet
brought with her to Washington last fnll
an old fashioned colored mammy who is
famous for her piety and her cooking, and
the dinners she has prepared during the
last two seasons have been the delight oi
the cabinet olrale and the diplomatic oorps
because thur have been so different from
the conventional dinners furnished by fash
ionable caterers and Frenoh chefs. There
has been nothing like them In Washington
since the war. But the other day Aunt
Mellnda came to bar mistress with a very
solemn air and decided that she was going
back to Georgia, that she could not live
in "dls byah wicked, God forsaken town
no moh."
A little questioning disolosed the cause
of dissatisfaction. Mammy's heart was
broken.
"I'se tolled an I's 'spired In dat dark ole

"But Linda," remonstrated the mis
tress, "they are ladies and gentlemen and
have done no wrong. If you mistook them
for ministers of the gospel, It was not
their fault They never pretended to be.
They are members of the diplomatic oorps,
representatives of foreign government
who come to see the president, and they
are called ministers for that reason. I
don't want you to go away. I can't get
along without you. Now go back to the
kitchen and think it over."
"I'se done thunk it ober, Miss Susie,

"But Jesus wos a foreigner," responded
the mistress. "Jesus did not live In this

Turkish minister is one of those that come

Aant Mellnda gazed at her mistress with
astonishment "Is you shoah ob dat?" she
exolaimed.
" Yes; get your Bible and I'll read yon

Thirteen Milea of Diaera.
"At the coronation of Alexander II,"
says the Moscow correspondent of the Lon

18 miles of tables, 672 in number, laid
symmetrically along the Khodynsky Field,
just outside of the city, and on the eve of
the historic day they were covered with
various kinds of eatables for the m ultitudo.
Thus, on each table were plaoed five roast
ed sheep, the horns gilt or silvered, and on
each side of the improvised tables stood
firs or pines, like the traditional Christ
mas trees of the Germans, from which
hung, not merely the usual apples, pears,
sweetmeats and fancy breads, but likewise
roasted duoks, chickens and hens galore.
There were no plates, and the venerable
old saying was acted upon that 'fingers
were made before forks, and hands before
knives.'
