Excuse.-. Which Singers Malic.
Do I think there aie many such fraud¬
ulent excuses? Ye3, lots of them. What
is more, many a minor performer bears
the brunt of a hitch or failure to shield
the leading performers. It is an old say¬
ing that a bad workman blames his tools.
It is a good deal that way with singers
and musical performers. I remember a
case in point when the great Nilsson was
tho real culprit. She sang here just lie-
fore the great fire in a concert of which 1
was the director. A flutist had to play
an obligato accompaniment to an aria
which Nilsson was to sing. With char¬
acteristic egotism she refused to attend
the rehearsal. At the performance she
sang in an entirely different key to that
which the flutist had practiced. There
could lie but one result, and that a fail¬
ure. Nilsson threw down her book in a
fret at the feet of the terrified flutist,
who was pulled over the coals and
roundly condemned by tho audience.
Poor fellow, lie was not to blame; it was
Nilsson's fault,
A few days later she was to take part
in the production of • “Tho Messiah.” 1
told Max Strakoscli, the impresario, that
I should insist on Nilsson’s presence at
the rehearsal or not lie responsible for a
break in tho performance. In this case
she came like a lady, and everything
went off smoothly. It requires a good
deal of tact to get along with such peo¬
ple. Some prima donnas are the em¬
bodiment of gentleness anil courtesy so
long as you stroke them the right way.
When you stroke them the wrong way
the fire flies.—Chicago Times.
Lincoln’s Merciful Nature.
Mr. Lincoln was by nature singularly
merciful. The ease with which he could
be reached by persons who might profit
by his clemency gave rise to many not¬
able scenes in the White House during
the war. Upwards of twenty deserters
were sentenced at one time to lie shot.
The warrants for their execution were
6ent to Mr. Lincoln for his approval. He
refused to sign them. The commanding
general to whose corps the condemned
men belonged was indignant. He hur¬
ried to Washington. Mr. Lincoln had
listened to moving petitions for mercy
from humane persons who, like himself,
were shocked at the idea of the cold
blooded execution of more than a. score of
misguided men. His resolution was fixed,
but his rule was to see every man
had business with him.
The irate commander was
into Mr. Lincoln’s private office.
soldierly bluntness he told the
that mercy to the few was cruelty to
many; that executive clemency in such
a case would be a blow to military
cipline, and that unless the
men were made examples of the
itself would be in danger. “General,”
said Mr. Lincoln, “thero are too
weeping widows in the United
now. For God's sake, don’t ask me
add to the number, for, I tell you plainly,
I won't do itl”
He believed that kind words were bet¬
ter for the poor fellows than cold lead,
and the sequel showed that he was right.

Decay of the Teeth.
There are very few people in the

The upper teeth are the most liable

THE LEAP YEAR PARTY,
THE ONLY FULL, AUTHORISED AND
COPYRIGHTED ACCOUNT. *
A Glittering Glare of Masculine Cos-
tumes.-An Elegant I.nueli-
eon Party. •
Our readers may have already
heard tell that there was a leap year
party in Griffin oh last Wednesday
night. Oar attention has been calls
ed to the fact that the Atlanta Con
slitution aud the Griffin Sun have in
their weak way attempted to describe
the magnificence of the occasion:
bow futile these attempts were may
be judged from the fact that the soci
ty reporter and fashion editor of the
News, who were dispatched to the
scene of the disaster,were just able to
file their separate reports last night.
Perhaps they had just recovered from
the effects of tlie “varied and deli
eious refreshments”—and possibly
the fashion editor had not fully recov
ered.
The society reporter describes the
tout ensemble of the affair briefly but
graphically as follows:
Did they have a Leap Year Party?
Well, yes, I should say they did.
Americus and Chicago can’t “hold
a candle” toil. From the diawing
clear down to the housing of tho last
carriage in its stable it was simply—
“chic.”
The names of the gentlemen were
drawn from a hat and you held the
one you drew until a bidder sufficient
iy high offered to take him Irorn you,
and then took in exchange her es
cort and as much boot as you saw
proper.
Sometimes the fair purchaser saw
hopeless bankruptcy staring her in
the face and the coveted beau was
left with a sigh to the tender mercies
of an envied rival.
As usual the ladies called for the
gentlemen and the night being in
tensely cold, hot bricks and small
muffs found their way into the car
riages to keep the delicate and thin
ly clad boys from suffering.
Long e‘er you reached tho festive
scene, the friendly lights sent forth
a cheering glimmer, bidding each
guest welcome to the “Lewis Man
sion,“ which for many years has
been noted for ifs hospitality. Inside
its spacious walls inspiration was
not lacking. The deep green of the
floral decorations, the mellow light
from the glimmering chandeliers,
the soft murmur of sweet music, the
sparkling eyes of merry maidens,
the pleased faces of handsome men.
all had a tendency to disperse the
doubts of the grandest skeptic and
the coldest critic gradually began to
thaw till he was surprised to find
himseif keeping time to the strains
of the “Lanciers.“
In tne pauses of the dance refresh
meets varied and delicious were
served by Mrs. W. C TDoks, Mrs. H.
C. Horne. Mrs. E. J. Flemister and
Mrs. JohD Moore—Mrs. John B.
Mills making Lor graceful self geDer
al agreeable. It was near three when
the last fellow reached home and
laid Lis tired head on bis downy pi]
low, wh'-re sweet dreams seemed to
mingle proposals, refusals and ac
ceptances till in one confused but
charming jumble.
The fashion editor Landed in his
lengthier manuscript with tho air of
one who has done himself proud |
and possibly it is ail right, though
some of it sounds a little strange.
Here it is, foreign languages and all:
The following is a list of those preseut,

Loyal to Your Town.
Upon our loyalty to our town de
pends its growth and prosperity.
Each city and hamlet has its advan
tages. A loyalty to those advantages
is its life. First we must in our trad
ing ai d buying patronize the trades
and busines in our city instead of go
ing to neighboring or distant towns.
We are obliged to do this, because if
our feiijw citizen is doing his duty
by us he is patronizing us in our busi
ness or calling. If the clothing racr
chant goes to another city for hjs
stove?, the hardware man is justified
in going to the other towns for dry
goods. Should such things become
general in any one town the dtssolu
