"WHY SO SAD, WILLIE T"
A London Police Court Incident That
M*<U< Even L*dy Somerset Laugh.
All London is laughing now over a
bit of testimony that was given in the
hearings on Lady Henry Somerset's
crusade against the London music halls.
Not tobebehiudour own Dr. Parkhursl
wIk 11 ho began his crusade. Lady Henry
Somerset determined to take the bull
by the horns and collect evidence her-
self She secured another lady as zeal-
ous as herself as a companion, and the
pair obtained the services of a young
curate of their acquaintance as male es-
cort.
Now, it happens that Lady Somerset
is a woman of very generous proportions
and withal so handsomely made that
some of the ungodly have been wicked
enough to suggest that her ladyship
would make an enchanting liviug pic-
ture herself. It chanced also that the
lady who was to accompany her was of
a similarly generous build, if anything
rather the larger of the two. On the
other hand, the young curate was slight
and weazened, with a pale, mild face,
that bore aperpetua' air of melancholy.
The trip was made, and when the de-
tective party was placed upon the stand
during the hearing the justice nsked her
ladyship if in her travels about in the
slums she had been molested or accosted
in any offensive way. Lady Henry was
compelled to reply that she had not, but
that, on the contrary, she had rather re-
spectful treatment Her companion gave
similar testimony.
When the little curate took thestand,
tho judge asked the same question of
him—if he had been accosted.
"Yes," replied tho little man in a
shrill voice, ' 'and very offensively too."
"Well," said the judge, "what did
the women say to you?"
"Well, sir," tho curate declared,
with comical indignation, "in one of
the music halls a couple of women came
up to me, and 0110 of them brazenly
chucked me under the chin and said,
'Why so sad, Willie?' "
Even Lady Henry Somerset could not
suppress her laughter.—Now York Her-
ald.
GENERAL GORDON.
A Large Crowd Hears "The Last
Days of the Confederacy."
LARGE au-
dence listened
to Gen. Gor-
don's "Last
Days of the
Confederacy "
last night and
it was all that
could have
been expected even from him and
on such a grand theme. The sub-
ject is peculiarly suited to him, for
it was during the last days of the
"Storm Cradled Nation" that
General Gordon won his brightest
laurels. It was not when the
armies of the confederacy marched
proudly to conquest, and the con-
tinent shook beneath their tread,
that he won his fame.
But in the dark hours of dis-
aster and defeat, when the stoutest
heaits were quailing, he wrmg
fame from the hand of fate.
With Early in the valley at Fort
Stead man where he stormed and
took one of Giant's strongholds,
on the retreat from Petersburg,
and at the final scene where the
Graid Army" surrendeied,
Goidon won undying fame.
it was in those closing days that
Goidon shoue the brightest.
At the close, Georgia's two
greatest sold:ers were the last to
g.ve iu. When Lee sent the flag
of t ace to Grant, Longstree* with
the remnants of his veterans was
beating back seiied ranks of
Meade on the rear, while Gordon,
his old coips "fought to a frazzle"
was hammeiing aga:nst Slieti-
dan's overwhelm'ig 1'nes in
frout.
Those gii 'zled waniors had re-
coiled f:om his last charge and
had 'allied and were pepsilng to
crnsti by weight of nnmbeis, those
gallant he<oes who followed Gor-
don so devotedly, when the sign
or <»eace was displayed and the
two ^.eat captains met to "stop
the How of blood."
No wonder the scarred leader
se'tcts the "Last Days" for his
way as to command the enthusias-
tic approval of federal and confed
erate|veterans alike, he would have
been langhed to scorn.
The most hopeful did not dare
to hope that the passions and
prejudices engendered daring foar
years of stubborn conflict could be
conquered in so short a time; in
deed the students of that genera-
tion expected those passions and
prejudices to be perpetual, because
they knew that history recorded
no instance of a prolonged and
bloody civil war succeeded by a
restoration of good will between
the combatants, and they suppos-
ed history would repeat itself.
But they forgot that we are a peo-
ple whose free and peculiar insti-
tutions will enable us to write the
history of our country differently
from that of other countries, and
forgetting this they naturally did
not forsee what has come to pass.
Oaly three decades lie between us
and Appomattox, and yet in that
brief space, which is only a span
in a nation's 'ife, marvelous
changes have been wrought.
Swoids have been beaten into
plough share?, and spears into
piuning hooks—brothers, once
arrayed against each other in
deadly strife, have been reconcil-
ed, and enemies have become
friends. The wounds have all
healed and the scars are disap-
peaiiug.
This res n't so gratifying in it-
self is not more so than the fact
that it has been accomplished
without the least abasement of the
vanquished legions.
No brave, self-respecting soldier
has ever asked his confederate
biother to apologize for the flag
under which he fought and in de-
fense of which his comrades died.
Nor wi'l any confederate soldier,
who was wouhy ol his gray uni-
form, ever admit that his cause
was less than just. I do not mean
to say that a11 the light was on
one side and all the wrong on the
other. I know better than this. I
know that the impartial historian
who comes after us wiil find much
to deplore and something to con-
demn on both sides This, how-
bacteriology.

Of Campbell's lives of tho lord clian
cellors, in the succession of which there
was a possibility tiiat ho might himself
appear, Lord Brougham said that it had
added a new terror to death. Life has
been so stuffed with new terrors by the
bacteriologist that th(re is hardly room
for allotli< r, and be>i.le him tho must
prolix and prosaic historian and biog-
rapher becomes an innocent and harm-
less figure indeed. There i9 hardly any
physiological or moral coudition which
is not now fitted with its bacillus, the
proportion and structure of that micro
scopic reptilo being given with diabol
ical accuracy and verisimilitude. It
would really be a relief not to know
quite so much of the minute organi
rations which accompany morbid path
ological states if there were any way
of escaping it. Tho doctors have to
know, of course, but the knowledge
might bo confined to them, as the sacer
dotal mysteries used to be to the priest
hood. It would save no end of popular
anxiety and alarm. With every symp-
tom tho patient is now assured that be
is assailed by a new and virulent micro-
coccus, and the cunstantly published re-
arohesof the microscopists tend to iu
flame his imagination and increase his
alarm.
Here is an Italian bacteriologist who
says he has discovered the bacillus of
old ag<\ and when ho has found out the
right sort of Rait to put on its tail its
ravages will be at an end, and old age,
as a coudition, will pass away, subsist-
ing only as a theory or remote retro-
spect. He has not yet disclosed the
structural outlines of this curious reptil-
ian debutante, and it may be only an
after dinner vision, to which science
will deuy a recognized place, leaving
old ago, as it was before, an incurable
condition, with an invariably progress-
ive tendency, in no need of bacteria to
accelerate it. — New York Tribune.

gentlemen I have the pleas-
ure of introducing to you
one who bore himself sup-
erbly upon the field of battle and
who has achieved an equal fame
in the walks of civil life. I pre-
sent the distinguishc 1 soldier and
orator, Gen. John B. Gordon.
When the great soldier rose he
was greeted by thunders of ap-
plause.
His lecture was eagerly listened
to by the large audience. It was
the same big hearted, big souled,
big brained talk he has made toy
both federal and confederate
veterans. It was too big and to
broad to offend, and all were de-
ighted and enthused with it.
If all the people in this union
could hear that lecture there
would be no more strife and bit-
terness over the past.

contribute a little paper or a couple

Nothing will kill a young negro but
a charge of dynamite, and their stom-
achs must be wonderfully and fearfully
made. The freeze was an unmitigated
blessing to them, and they luxuriated
on frozen oranges for two weeks after-
ward. It was fun to see them. They
would gather around the various ship-
ping points, and when a lot of fruit was
ordered to the cremator they would help
themselves before it was hauled away.
Some of the boys would eat two dozen
frozen oranges at a sitting, or standing,
rather, and the feat did not seem to
harm them in the slightest Some of
the bootblacks and newsboys made a
point of buying 5 oents' worth of frozen
oranges every day for their dinner
They could get a dozen large ones for
a nickel, and they would eat them way
down to the yellow hide. A white boy
who attempted the same performance
would have had several different kinds
of cratnp colic in less than 15 minutes
