to tbo City Attorneyship*
Mu. Eoiron:—I notloe Ip yesterday’s
paper several cards In reference to tbo
aldermanic race, in which my name Is
mentioned to an alleged rumor.
I desire to say that Ur. J. L. Adder*
ton aslced me why a certain attorney was
taking such aotlve Interest In this nee
and I remarked that 1 did not know un
less he expected to be a candidate for
city attorney. I did not cay, nor did
intend to convey the idea that any can*
dldate for alderman had pledged them
selves to any one for city attorney,
that they wars running in the Interest of
anyone tot' that position.
I have not spoken to'any one except
I'apt. Adderton about it, and only In the
way I have stated.

One hears a great deal nowadays ot
housefurnishing. Looked at from the
point of view of wstbetio decoration,
lias become acult,,a1mosta religion with
its high priests and creeds. Wall papers
dados, troacos, chintzes, tones, semi*
tones, hemi-semitone8, and colors, snob
as "robin’s egg,” French shades such as
"Bismarck bllleux” and "an expended
sigh,” or "primerose yellow,” “crushed
strawberry ;” embroideries ancient, mod*
ern, medlicvnl; furniture that must be
“sincere,” or “Immoral;*’ rugs with
plum bloom” on them: tapestries that
"small of the woods;” brlo-s-brso,
“priceless" “curious,” "deeply interest
ing,” "sweetly suggestive,” “profound*
ly false In oolor and treatment"—who
does not know and recognize these
terms and properties as essential to the
modern home? Ever tinoe the centen
nial a erase for each things has raged in
the country, and a whole dictionary of
terms lias arisen In which to describe
them. A wide-eprosd and almost nni*
versa! desire and ambition to possess
them hu sprung up, too, which, in its
turn, has created a literature in which
matter* of taste are discussed as if noth*
lag more solemn or more vital existed
in thia or any other world.
Individuals here and there (sensitive
souls of a pre-eminently delicate and fas
tidious order) have become so Imbued
with tbs principles and rules laid down
for them that they have almost died of a
green and yellow' melancholy In rooms
where these colors have been improper*
ly combined. Lies have been driven to
despair by boarding-house eurtains and
carpets or hotel ehromos and decoration.
Gentlemen, even, have been made mis
erable by stone chins, and grown mor
bid from enforced association with
horse-hair furniture and wax flowers.
One of them we hear of as always carry
ing a bit of icsthetlc cretonne in bis
pocket,instead of a vinaigrette when
obliged to'go to barbarous houses where
the colors "swear at each other,” as the
trench put It. Bachelors have become
the rivals of any lady in the land in
their knowledge and appreciation o* the
the delicate tasks hitherto considered
essentially feminine, each erf the draping
of chair-backs, the setting 8f tables, the
looping of curtains, the art of arranging
cosey corners and producing “effects.”
—From an Article by Francea Courtenay
Baylor, in December Lippi ncott’s.
The problem of what a given man
will do under the pressure of a given
quantity of intoxicating beverage
always an Intereating one to student* of
human nature.
The other evening the usual number
of well-dreseed gentlemen about town
were In the various stages of dining at a
certain eating house In Americus.
That is to sey, some were at bread and
water and their favorite evening ^ewe-
paper, awaiting the eorollatlon of the
waiter, and the culinary department;
some were in soup and mnstaohe strug*
gle; some were "discussing”—to use a
plain word, eating—the various chops
and birds on toast, not disconnected
with malt served up at this' popular re
sort, end others were dallying with
glasses of Barleycorn, and small bottles,
and cigars, and tooth-picks and mellow
conversation. The portrait* of several
stage celebrities on the walls looked 1
down upon thegastronomfeal scene with
stern wistfulness.
Why actors and actresses long since
departed are thus compelled to furnish
forth bachelor breakfasts, and sll dsy
ordorous chop and the midnight quail,
with their varied liquid paraphernalia. Is
one of many things that Is a sealed vol
ume to mortals hare below. But they
seem to he necessary. Perhaps It if by.
way of stimulating the digestion; per
haps It is one of the penalties of having
lived to well on earth. Anyhow, the
usual array of the foot-light profession
were doing business at the old stand
without a chop or a drink.
In the midst of this scene of the
“quiok and the dead,” a gentleman sud
denly arose, and, looking wildly around,
shouted:
“No man in tills place can held me!”
If one of the actors who has been dead
dozen of yoars had suddenly leaped
down from the wall and offered to settle
Ids mouldering score at the bar the as
sembled gentlemen could scarcely have
been more astonished. Half a dozen
chops seemed to have gone the wrong
way at once, and one man Inadvertantly
tossod off his elbow-man’s wine.
"I’ll bet there isn’t a man In this
crowd who can hold me!" repeated the
gentleman, defiantly. • '
No one seemed to entertain the flim
siest desire to hold hihi. He was some
what over-large for a baby. He stood
firmly on Ids pins. There was apparent
ly no valid reason why 'he should be
held.
On the contrary, an almost yearning
wish ’ appeared on every countenanoe
that be should not be held but allowed
to go, and the desire was more plainly
written about tho eyes of the proprietor
of the place. That gentleman at once
stepped forward and gently hinted that
sneh were his fondest hopes.
Whereupon the gentleman, for he was
clearly eucb, sat down quietly and relit
his fragrant weed and scut the eplral
columns of smoke upward.
The chops again began to chop, the
mellow conversation was caaght up
again where It had - been dropped like
hot shot and the portrait of the dead
pugilist on the wall looked sour enough
to eurdle a milk punch.'
Tills serenity, however, |wos soon dis
pelled again by the eceentrle individual
rising in his place and again ehoutlng
bit defiance:
‘There ain't a man In this whole
crowd who can hold me!”
Whether this was a slip In grammar
or the rising disgust at this second out
burst, the friend of the man who
'couldn’t be held” got up and palled
the latter down Into a cane-bottom chair
so peremptorily, so violently, in fact,
that the chair gave way, the friend fell
on him, and in a moment's time both
became so tangled np that you could not
tell one from the other. Like Kilkenny
cats, they elawed and bit, providentially
gravitating toward the door and out into
the street.
Nobody cared to hold either of them.
Some seconds afterward, when quiet
held sway, a battered up gentleman,
with a light overcoat ripped from stern
