Foraker was defeated. The general’s brother, Senator Sherman, is not angry. Mr. George Francis Train has been turned out of the Boston jaiL As be was enjoying himself immensely in jail, and as the people were very willing for him to remain there, it seems a pity that he was not permitted to =tay. The New York Herald announces in one bead line that it is time to leave Paris, and in the following one that jeweled garters are the fashion in that city. 'lt seems to be time for married men to ieave, unless they have plenty of money. Mr. VVanarnaker has too many irons in the fire. He is trying to run his Philadel phia dry goods bouse, Bethany Sunday school and the postoffice department at the same t me. It will not be surprising if he fails in each undertaking. The statement is repeated that Mr. Ran dall’s health will probably prevent him from taking an active part in the proceed ings of the next session of congress. It is to be hoped that Mr. Randall will com pletely regain his strength by the time con gress convenes. Mr. Henry George is about to leave this country again, and yet the people are not in despair. He says that he expects to start in February for Australia, where he will set forth his peculiar notions in a series of lectures. If he would take Dr. McGlynn along with him the people might feel as if they were under an obligation to him The New York Press says that the demo drats are preparing to steal Ohio by redis tricting the state, thus ousting several re publican congressmen. The Press is a somewhat recent newspaper venture. It ■wasn’t in existence when the republicans of Ohio, by a system of gerrymandering, de prived that state of several democratic con gressmen. The pan-American delegates have fin ished their tour, and will now get down to work, provided they are able to be about. They haven’t yet seen the south, the most interesting part of the country. The pleasantest part of their stay in this countr v will be the last part, and that will be spent in the south. They will then leave for home with very agreeable impressions of the country. The story is pronounoed incorrect that the proclamation making the two Dakotas states were so shuffled before being signed by the President that no one knows which was signed first. The Washington correspond ent of the New York Herald says that the truth about the proclamations is that they were signed at the same time. The Presi dent accomplished this feat, not by signing one with his right hand and the other with his left, but by placing one above the other, with carbonized paper between the sheets, and affixing his signature with an agate stylus. Some of the republican newspapers think that there will be numerous candidates for the United States senatorship from Ohio. They say that Senator Payne will run *g uln , that John R. McLean will be in the fi id, and that Messrs. Brice, Neal, Kline, and Thomas will be candidates. Mr. Thomas is a millionaire manufacturer, and on ardent tariff reformer, and it is possible that ho will be a candidate. Mr. Payne is out of the race, and so is Mr. McLean. Messrs. N6al and Kline will probably keep quiet, and this would leave the field 10 Mr. Brice and Mr. Thomas, with the chances strongly in favor of Mr. Brice. The Montana Case. The refusal of the President to wait until the question whether the legislature in Montana is democratic or republican was decided before issuing his proclamation ad mitting that terr.tory as a state excites a great deal of unfavorable comment in democratic circles. It looks very much as if the President had determined t. at the senators from Montana should be repub licans. The legality of the returns from the Tunnel precinct. Silver Bow county, are being questioned in the courts. On these returns depends the complexion of the legislature. If the votes ia that precinct are counted as cast, the legislature * ill be democratic, and two democrats will be elected to the United States Senate. If tne votes of that precinct are not counted the legislature will be repu: l.can. and repub licans will be elected to the United States Senate. The canvassers of the votes in the Silver Bow county were republicans, and they threw out the votes of the Tunnel precinct on a technicality. The democrats carried the matter into the territorial circuit court, and that tribunal ordered the votes to be counted. Tne republicans took an appeal to the territorial supreme court. The judges of that court were appointed ;by President Cleveland, and are probably democrats. There is no reason to think, however, that they could hare been induced to render a partisan decision. By admitting Montana before this matter was settled, the election case, it is under stood, was taken out of the bands of the the territorial court and place.! in that of the newly elected supreme court. This court is composed of republicans, and the impression is that it will decide against counting the Tunnel precinct votes, thus making the legislature republican and in suring the election of two republicans to the United States Senate. If it turns out, as suspeeted, that the President issued his proclamation in order to get an unfair partisan advantage by means that cannot under any circumstances be defended, he wili have put a blot upon his administration that he will never be able to erase, and that will make him as much an object of contempt in the eyes of the people as the fraud of 1576 made Mr. Hayes. Of course, if two republicans should be elected senators from Montana under such circumstances, the democratic sena tors would not consent to their admission to the Senate without a •Eery thorough investigation, and if, in such an investigation, the facts should turn out to be that they were elected through sharp practice, the President’s posi tion would be far from an enviable one. Hatton’s Explanation. Ex-Postmaster General Frank .Hatton says that the reason the republicans met with such a disastrous defeat last Tuesday is that the administration indorsed the civil service reform policy. If he hal said that their defeat was due to the failure of the administration to enforce the reform after having indorsed it he would have come nearer the nlark. The people can’t be humbugged. They admire honesty and sincerity. The president said, when he was inaugurated, that he intended to enforce the civil service laws in letter and spirit. Has he done so? It is a notorious fact that he has not. Only a few weeks ago he re moved the postmaster of Philadelphia for no other reason than that he wanted to ap point a friend of the Postmaster General to the position of postmaster of that city. Thousands of postmasters have been re moved without cause since Gen. Harrison has been President, and republicans ap pointed to succeed them. The same thing has been done in other departments of the government. It is true that the adminis tration indorsed the policy of civil service reform, but that is about all that it has done in behalf of that reform. Ex-Postmaster-General Hatton has a very poor opinion of the republicans. He be lieves that they are all spoilsmen. Tney don’t care anything for good government, and they are indifferent to any policy the administration may adopt except that re lating to the offices. In the opinion of Mr. Hatton his party frienis hre after the offices, and they will sulk and refuse to sup port their party if they don’t get them. Surely he must be mistaken. If he is not the republican party is totally unfit to be trusted with the control of the government. The party that places the spoils of office above everything else cannot be an honest one. Mr. Hatton’s explanation of the dof oat of the republicans, however, will attract a good deal of attention, because he is one of the prominent and trusted leaders of his party. There is ground for thinking, how ever, that he is mistaken. If the majority of the republican loaders agreed with him, they would repeal the civil servioe law. They know batter than to attempt any thing of that kind, however. They know that if they should assume an attitude of hostility to civil service roform, their party would be driven from power very quickly. If the administration had enforced civil service reform as earnestly as it indorsed;it, the chances are that the republican defeat last week would not have been quite so disastrous. George Law’s name gets into the news papers every few months, but no doubt he wishes it wouldn't. Mr. Law is a wealthy New Yorker, and he sometimes gets on a spree. He lias a number ef friends, and they are particularly attentive to him while he is drunk. The reason of this is that upon snch occasions Mr. Law is lavish with his gifta He has been known to give away thousands of doUase worth of jewelry at a time, bnt the other day his extravagance took anew direction. He filled himself with the best whisky, and lost SIO,OOO trying to break a faro bank. It is understood in Washington that the supreme court vacancy will not be filled until January. It is also asserted that the President nas definitely decided not to ap point the present Attorney General to fill the vacancy. The sentiment of the Indiana republicans is in favor of Judge Woods of the United States aistnet court at Indianap olis. From a republican standpoint, Judge Woods certainly deserves something. He prevented the democrats from showing ex actly how CoL Dudley bought Indiana for Harrison last fall. The world’s fair guarantee fund in New York ought to grow very rapidly now. Heretofore many wealthy people of that city have refused to contribute, or have subscribed only small amounts, on the ground thai they objected to Central park, or any part of it, being used as the site. Central park will not bo touched. That is settled. We shall see if these people were sincere. THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1889. Cur Visitors. Savannah extends a warm welcome to her visitors, the members of the legislature. The preparations to entertain them are complete, and, if the weather is favorable, their visit wnl be a very interesting and pieaaEct one. Some of them perhaps have never visited Savannah. They will find a prosperous, busy city that will surprise them. They will get anew idea of the chief seaport of their stato. The trip to Tybee and the sail down the river in one of the fine steamers of the Ocean steamship fleet will be something new in their ex perience. Those who have nof been here for a num ber of years will hardly he prepared for the cnanges wnich have ta ken place, and the improvements which have been made. Tney will see a great deal that will give them a better idea than they ever had be fore of the volume of Georgia’s products. They will see acres covered with bales of cot ton, barrels of nav.' stores and piles cf lumber, and they will see miles of shipping, either waiting for, or taking in their car goes. Savannah is glad to have tbs members of the legislature visit her. and if they do not find their visit both enjoyable and profita ble, it will not be because of a want of de sire to make it so. Of course the new hotel will command some of their attention, be cause it is well worth seeing. Its fame has already reached beyond the limits of the state. While they cannot be entertained in it yet, because it is not finished, they can catch glimpses of accommodations they can command on future occasions. They will also find a visit to the printing house of the Morning News an interesting one, and a cordial invitation is extended to them. The News office will be open to them, and they will find some one ready to show them through the different depart ments at any hour of the day any of them may choose to cell. Savannah desires the visit to be one that her guests will remem ber with pleasure. The Sunday Whisky Evil. Our police report yesterday showed that the number of intoxicated men on the streets of this city Sunday was larger than on any previous Sunday for a long time. It is quite certain that the drinking of in toxicating liquors on Sundays in the bar rooms is on the increase. And it is not strange that it ia If the back doors of bar rooms are permitted to be open in violation of the Sunday law, idle men will find their way as naturally to where they can get whisky and beer as water seeks its level. The drunkenness seen on the streets on Sundays is not the result of whisky pur chased on Saturday nights. There is not a shadow of a doubt that the whisky is ob tained in the groggeries on Sundays, and is purchased by the drink. If the law requir ing all barrooms to be closed on Sundays was strictly enforced there would be few, if any, drunken men on the streets on Sun days. The money that is wasted in drink would be used in making homes more com fortable and in adding to the ploasures and comforts of wives and children. Cannot the law prohibiting the opening of barrooms on Sundays be enforced? Of course it can. At least half the bet'er class of saloonkeepers would like to have it en forced. They have said that they would, but declare that unless all the barrooms are required to obey the law those who closed would lose a large part of their regular week-day custom. There is a city ordinance against soiling intoxicating liquor on Sundays, but it seems to be a dead letter. And why? Simply because those who ought to make public sentiment don’t seem to care whether the law is enforced or not. It is perhaps a good thing to preach sermons to arouse sym pathy for the heathens who are without the gospel, and to collect money to send missionaries to them for the purpose of bettering their condition, but isn’t there a field, in which good can be dose, right here at home that is being neglected? If the pulpit were to join the press in demanding ths closing of the barrooms on Sundays public sentiment might become strong enough 1 o bring about the enforcement of the ordi nance against selling intoxicants on Sun days. With the barroom temptation removed, many of those who now spend thsir Sun days in drunkenness might be induced to go with their wives and children to church. At present, in many instances, the families of those men never sea the inside of a church, because they haven’t the means with which to provide themselves with de cent clothing. It is impossible to say how great this evil of drunkennoss on Sundays will become if not checked. Is it not steadily increasing? The police reports indicate that it is. Is it not time for the voices of those who believe in a sober Sabbath to be heard? If the au thorities will not act in behalf of law until public sentiment compals them, it is time to awaken a public sentiment that will speak in no uncertain tones. Mr. E. Berry TV all, who is known as the king of the dudes in New York, was again brought into court the other day to show cause why he should not pay his tailor, and in the course of the examination some in teresting facts were brought out. Wall indignantly denied that ho had any occupa tion. He thought it was degrading to work. He had dudish ideas about work. He managed to live by making bills which he could not pay, and by recommending certain articles to his admirers. For in stance, a champagne company kept him supplied with champagne because ha was good eunuch to call it by name and say to his friends that it was an excellent wine. For Wall, sensible people can have nothing but contempt, but they have pity for the yeung woman whom he has made his wife. A Washington correspondent says: “I am told that ever since bis wordy contro versy with Judge Rucker, of Colorado, Senator Blackburn has been a total ab stinence man in his habits.” This cannot be true, for Senator Blackburn bought a drink of whisky at Vice President Morton’s bar the other day, and he drank it and pro nounced it good. The New York Press seems to be anxious for the democrats to nominate Mr. Calvin Brice for pres.dent next time. It is trying to start a boom for him. Mr. Brice is a very nice young man, who will be perfectly satisfied with a seat in the United States Senate. He doesn’t want the Press to boom him for president. Ho doesn’t think the IVess could holp him if he were a candi date. The democrats won’t ask republicans whom they should nominate. Mr. Foraker will soon be out of a job, unless the President gives him a govern ment office. How would it do to send Fora ker to Russia? CCRRFNT COMMENT. That’s Enough.

Clarkson, the "administration heads man, is quite sure that prohibition killed the repubLcan ticket in lowa. He was equally sure up to Saturday before the election that it would save It. He is confident now that the tantf was not an issue, and that the farmers did not rote on that question. But before the election he prayed them to vote upon it, and de clared that it was an issue. Misleading the Negroes. From the Boston Herald (Ind.y. There is much talk about the capacity of the negro to vote intelligently in the south, and this capacity is largely questioned by the white race there. The negro gives stronger evidence * ’ sustain their position when he makes himself the tool of unscrupulous adventurers like Mahone than anything his avowed opponents can furnish. But the republican managers of the nation, with President Harrison at their head, are by no means free from responsibility in misleading the colored man to his injury in this respect.

The Japanese proprietor of a little store in the shopping district, where all sorts of puzzling oriental goods, useful, ornamental, ugly, and 1 OMtively frightful, are sold, had an experience the other day with that terror of shopkeepers, the professional “beater-down," says th£ New York Time*. He didn't actually enjoy the en counter. but he came out victorknis. Tne Japanese's store is small and pretty nearly choked up with the wtuv* displayed. On the occasion in auestion several customers were looking at ana pricing various articles, and the proprietor was busy and happy. The moment the woman with the haggling propensities came m her presence was felt. She contemptuously threw down, after a close examination of each, a number of valuable pieces of bric-a-brac, plainly showing by her mann?*r tha : she wished to manifest her disgust at all shopkeepers in general and the Japanese shopkeeper and his snop and wares in particular. The smile on the proprietor's face faded somewhat, but he kept bravely at his task and tried conscientiously to show the woman as much courtesy as possible under the circumstances. A^t^’r a* lea>t twenty minutes, during which time the Japanese continued to act as a model salesman, the woman started out, not having bought anyth ng. Almost at the door she stopped at a big box of little straw baskets, labeled “3 cents each." w muc k Are these?" asked the shopper. Three cents each," replied the shopkeeper. "Too much;” from the woman. No response from tne Jap. "They ain't worth more than a cent apiece," continued the woman. Still no reply from the wearied Jap. At this point the woman took cbagge of a ***irs- She opened her pocket book, fumbled about until she found 2 cents, picked up a f>asket, and said curtly to the man, “Do this up, please." "Madam," replied iho Japanese firmly. those baskets are 3 cents each, and you can't have one for any less." ‘ Well, if you won't do it up I can't make you, isuppose," returned the woman, as she threw the 2 cents down on the box and turned to rush from the store. The proprietor's ire was roused. He seized the 2 cents and then ran after the fleeing woman. The racj was short but ex citing. T?ie woman was tall. The man was short. W ith a leap he threw one arm about her neck, grabbed the basket, dropped the 2 cents, released h is hold on the woman, and walked calmly back to ask another customer if the puzzle box she was looking at pleased her. One of the customers in the little shop was rude enough to applaud the Japanese shop keeper s plucky, but not very polite behavior. Ihe woman picked up her pennies and walked away. Turning: a Joke. From the S an Francisco Examiner. “Do you see that rubicund gentleman over there?" said Dr. Muller, president of the Deuts cher klub of Oakland, pointing to a blonde bearded man who was leaning against the chain-box. “Well, that's Coroner Henry Evers of Almeda county, and I want to tell you how he turned a joke on some of his friends a few weeks ago. We have a little dining coterie which we call the Bumblebee Club, and one afternoon we were all seated about the table while the jokes and wine went round, when a messenger came in bearing word to Coroner Evers that there was a dead body lying in a lot at such and such a portion of the city. “Evers grumbled a good deal, but finally left th? table and went in search of his deacister. He found nothing but a decomposed hen on a garbage heap. While he was away we all laughed a great deal at his expense. The message was just a little jokelet of our own. * ‘The coroner came back after half an hour or more, very red, very inad. At first he told his experiences innocently enough, and the more he told the more wo l .uied. All the afternoon we chaffed him about his fruitless search for a body and a fee, thinking that he didn't in the least suspect our connection with his trip. Finally we rose to go, all in the mer riest mood and thoroughly content with our fun at Evers' expense. “ ‘Gentlemen,’ suddenly spoke up the butt of all our ridicule, ‘I hereby summon you to ap pear at once as jurors in the examination into the cause which led to the death of , de ceased.' “Now this had been in the water for over two weeks. He wasn’t a pleasant, after-dinner subject. We laughed no more. We begged pleaded, protested. It was of no avail. Evers was obdurate. So we marched over to the morgue and ‘viewed the remains.’ As each jolly diner-out turned pale and sought the open air Evers laughed. He shook with merriment. He seemed threatened with apoplexy, so thor oughly did he enjoy himself. “He is laughing yet. Watch him when he look* my way." Mr. O’Ferrall’s Narrow Escape. From tht New York Tribune. “I don't know how it feels to be handed,” said Representative O'Ferrall of Virginia to a group or gentlemen a few evenings ago. “but I know how a man feels who has narrowly escaped being hanged. In the late war I mads a raid with my regiment of cavalry into that region of West Virginia where I was born and reared.

In the meantime word reached me from home that a plan was on foot to take me from the officers at the station near my birthplace, escort me to a large elm tree in sight of my mother's residence, and hang me. Finally, at the suggestion of Governor Wells, I wrote to Gen. Grant, stating the circumstances of the cr.e, and he decided that, as I was included in the surrender of Lee's men at Appomattox, I was not to be delirered over to the civil authorities for acts committed in time of war. The requisition was subse quently refused and it was unsafe for me to visit my old home until within a very few years past. A short time ago, however. I responded to an n atation to deliver at the point men tioned a Linh of July oration. All former hostility toward me had vanished and my re ception was as cordial as I could have desired. ” He Wanted to Know About Ansels. From the New York Tribune. “Auntie, did the angels carry Mrs. Jones up to heaven.''' “Why, Charlie, I think so. Mrs. Jones was a good woman,'' "She wss an awfully fat woman. The angels must be strong.” Passengers in the train from Woodlawn turned to look at the six-year-old boy who was bent on getting information. He wasa manly little fel low, with a bright, pretty face that showed in telligence beyond Ids years. His young aunt seemed to be anxious to stop the flow of ques tions, but he was bound to know something more about angels then and there. “How do you know there are angels, auntie?” “Because we read about them. Wait until you can read and then you will know more about them.” ' But why—why don't we see the angels? Did you ever see an angel?” “Hush! Don't talk so loud, Charlie. Of course we don’t see them, but we see their pict ures. Don’t you remember the angels in that prettyibook that Uncle John sent you?” “Yes, but—but where do the angels get their pictures taken, Auntie? Is there a gallery where they take pictures of angels-only just of angels?” “Perhaps so. I don't know.” “Then why don't the angels put on more Clothes when they have their pictures taken*" “Oh, Charlie 1 Please be quiet. You will make Auntie’s head ache.” Charlie meditated in silence for a few minutes and remarked: “I don't know why Mr. Brown said you were his " •'Williamsbrldge!” shouted the hpakeman. and as the train came to a standstill the srnali boy got a shaking and a whispered warning that stopped all further talk about angels.

Three young boys eloped from Nice, and traveled on foot to Paris in order to see the ex position, and after seeing it, and living on alms in its inline hate vicinity during several weeks, were arrested last month and returned home. Kossuth for a number of years gave lessons n the English language to the young men at Turin, where he resided for thirty years. Old as he was, these pupils were clamorous for him to become a naturalised subject in order to be elected a senator of the kingdom, but he pre ferred to remain a Hun. Rome is also going in for the electric light. It has been resolved to electrically illuminate all the streets and public places of the ancient city, and the motive power is to be obtained by the use of the famous Tivoli waterfalls, which are distant about thirty kilometers. It is ex peck'd that ai leaat 2,U00-horse power will be derived from this source. A splendid monument to Victor Emanuel is in course of erection at the foot of the old capitol at Rome. The portico of the monument is completed, its columns being in the ancient Greek style, and the stairway an* pedestal are now ready to receive the equestrian statue of the monarch, which is to be shortly cast from the model of the Italian sculptor. M. ErppEL’s last triumph is a portable Iron military bridge, which has just been success fully exhibited to M. Freycinet, the French minister of war. The bridge can be carried along with an army, and is of iron altogether. It is 120 feet long, and can be placed in position even in the tnost difficult country Jb fifty-two hours. Of course, if 120 feet is not needed, the bridge can be reduced to any length. New York has a woman locksmith. She carries a kit of tools for doing the small jobs for which locksmiths are called in. Her hus band has a shop, and they take turns in attend ing to the calls. Any big piece of work is turned over to the man. but the wife is quite as expert as he is in fitting keys, putting new locks on trunks, putting on window fastenings, and at tending to the countless other details of house hold management. Anew place of entertainment recently opened in Paris is called the Moulin Rouge. Over the entrance is a real windmill, while round this is a corridor with immense Gothic windows, which gives the place a semi-cathe dral look. In the center of all is a garden w hich, at night, glimmers with Chinese lan terns. The name adopted by the proprietors of the place is historical, for there was of old a famous “Moulin Rouge” in the Champs Klysees, which, under the empire, was a res taurant which eclipsed those of Laurent and Ledoyen—then in their inf mey—and was the summer evening rendezvous of a host of po litical, literary, artistic and fashionable celebri ties. George Olds, the general traffic manager of the Canadian Pacific railroad, says the New York World , writes concerning the proposed steamship and railroad service between England and China by way of the Canadian route, and says that the dominion government is alrt aly negotiating for the steamship service. The dis tance between Halifax and Liverpool is neatly 800 miles less than between New York and Liverpool, and as this difference amounts to nearly two days’ sailing time, the advantage of the shorter ocean route is apparent. The pro posed fast Atlantic service is to be supplemented by a fast express train service from Halifax during the winter and from Quebec during the summer months to Vancouver, and by a fast trans pacific steamship service, for which ves sels equal and superior in some respects t> the Teutonic are now under construction. The dis tance from Halifax to Vancouver is 3,658 miles, and. according to Mr. Olds, can be covered easily in ninety hours, as it requires only con tinuous running at a trifle under forty miles an hour, a speed exceeded daily by many of the Canadian Pacific express trains. They have en gine houses and repair shops located at a dis tance of 130 miles apart over the whole length of the main line. If this scheme is carried into operation it will bring the Pacific coast within ten days of Queenstown, a statement which ap pears almost incredible. The fact that two banks In New York, says the Sun, are popularly known by the same name, gives rise continually to no small amount of confusion. One is a savings bank and the other a state bank. Both are within a few blocks of each other on the Bowery, and each is known as the Bowery bank. Barring incon venience arising from mistaken identity, the coincidence makes no difference to either bank so long as they both continue in their present highly prosperous condition. But if one should fall or meet with any loss, the other would un questionably suffer greatly by it. The Bowery savings bank has already had some experience of this. It claims the name Bowery by right of priority. Many years ago there was another bank, not now in existence, started nearly opposite, and under the same name In the panic of 1857 this bank suspended. The Bowery Savings Bank was as prosperous as a lord. But the cry “The Bowery Bank has been suspended,” was raised when the other bank of the same name went up, and the result was a tremendous run upon the sav ings bank. People thought that was the sus pended bank. The officials used every device to inspire confidence, even to heaping up gold in piles upon tables where everybody could see it. But the sight of the great quantities of gold seemed only to make depositors the more anx ious to get their money out while there was any left. The present state bank, which makes use of the sa r e name, was originally organized as a national bank, and called itself the Bowery National Bank. It has since put itself under the state system as the Bowery Bank. Mrs. Kendal by extraction certainly is a Jewess, says the New York Sun. The fact will probably be new to New York, and perhaps to London, too, but it is indubitable. The actress’ mother was a Jewess, and her mother’s father was a Jewish rabbi. Her mother's name was Elizabeth Merinus. The family came originally from Holland, where their" ancestry had migrated from Spain, and. like Rachel, Bern hardt, and other great stars, her Jewish blood has been no mean factor in making her so fine an artist. The greatest actors have been either of Hebraic or Celtic origin, for some of the most finished actors and orators in the world have been Irishmen as well as Jews. The success of the Kendals is beyond limit. They could un doubtedly play at the Fifth Avenue theater until August if engagements would permit. On Sun day. Austin Coroin has placed his favorite car at the disposal of Mr. and Mrs. Kendal, when they go to Philadelphia. Mr. Corbin will ac company them, dine with them on the car, and show the English actors some of the ultra-lux uries of railroad travel in this country. They have, besides sedulously attending rehearsals, appeared at a number of receptions, luncheons, and teas in New York, and the social hospitality showered upon them by our people has been without limit. It is worth noting that New York society, which so persistently avoided Mine. Patti, Barah Bernhardt, and even Mary Anderson, has thrown its doors open to the widest extent to these English actors. The Ken dals are enthusiastic about America, the people, the audiences and their success here, ail of which Is perhaps not surprising in view of the warmth of their reoeption. An interesting dog tory was related by Gen, Joe Bartlett to some friends in Washington not many days ago. The canine wa* named “Budge," and he followed the Armr of the Po tomac during the early years of the war. Budge had a habit of chasing cannon balls, arid while thus engaged during a battle he lost one one of his legs. He was left on the field, the men being too busy to care for film, but some days afterward he limped into camp. A sur geon of the Twenty-seventh New York fixed up the stump, and in the course of rime it healed. Budge was all through the Peninsula campaign, and during the advance aud retreat be hobbled along, and during engagements followed his favorite pastime, chasing cannon balls and shells. Nothing could abate his zeal in that direc tion. Budge followed the troops back to Wash ington, took part in the second battle of Bull Run, the tattle of South Mountain, and then hobbled along until he reached Antietam. In the tattle of the second day Budge chose to take part in the conflict on our right and seemed to enjoy it. Ha was very busy that day, and had got so that he could make good time on three legs. He had plenty of balls and shells to look after, too. When the flgut was over, along in the afternoon, Budge was miss ing. Tne next morning, in passing through the terrible 'cornfield' in search of the dead and wounded, some of the boys ran across the life less body of old Budge, and, by Lis side, was the body of a wounded member of tho brigade who had been in tbe habit of feeding him. Budge, he said, remainel with him when he fell, and when the confederates swept through the cornfield in one of the nutnero is cnarges made. Budge defended him against what he knew was the assault of an enemy, and was shot down, loyal to the last to the cause, the old flag, and the constitution aud the union, too, it you please, if he was nothing but a dog.
