The Jeannette Board of Inquiry has made its report, in which the management of the vessel is .approved, and a special high tribute paid to PeLong, although the lost commander has long since been past tho need of any such tribute.

A captain of one the transatlantic passenger steamers who lias made many voyages, writes an article for the March number of the Popular Science Monthly, in which he makes a pertinent recommendation in this connection. The article is devoted to the fogs and ice bergs encountered ofl'the hanks of New Koundland. and shows very plainly that there is much room for valuable research regarding navigation in this dangerous locality.

THE "MUM" SOCIAULE.
Peck's Hun. "Lend me your revolver," said a young man with his nose skinned, his eye blackened, and his white necktie around under his ear, and one tail of his dress-coat tore ofl', as he came into a west side saloon, with his overcoat on his arm and his overshoes in his hand, and his clothes all covered with snow. "What's the matter utirlk you," said the bar tender, looking ugly at him. "Do you suppose I am going to lend you a revolver to kill somebody, and then be arrested i'or being an accessory. Not much! Hut what's the matter? You look as though you came out of a window. Was anything the matter with the door?"
The "young man took a wet towel and sopped the blood orf his nose, then went to a mirror and fixed his necktie, and turned his back and looked in the glass to see if the absent coat tail showed much, then went and leaned on the bar and looked at the bar-ten-der for a moment, and said "You look like a man that can be trusted, and whose advice would be safe to follow, in an emergency, and I will tell you about this murder that I contemplate, and maybe you can give me some point, as you have no doubt murdered many people. The trouble is right here. "Our lodge is to give a "mum sociable" this evening You know what a ninmsociable is. Young peoplego to a house and sit around all keep
die evening and keep their mouths shllf. "».l ll.'.viu- iiJl .. ul .«ttl is given, then they all make up for lost time and talk for all that is out. (Is my nose bleeding yet? Thanks.) They wanted me to go, and I just came from there. That is, I came from the house next door. You see, I went to the wrong liuose and rung the bell. A .man in his shirt sleeves came to the door, and said good evening, but I wasn't going to be caught speaking, because you have to pay a forfeit if you speak." So I just walked right in "and pulled ofl'my overcoat and hung it up, and hung my hat on the hat rack. The man looked a it tit bit annoyed, but he asked me if the weather was not softening up'a little. I smiled but didn't sav anything, and I walked into the sitting room, where there was a woman undressing a baby, and I sat down on the sofa. I bowed to the ladv, and she said 1 must excuse her for undressing the baby in company, but she had to do it near the coal stove, so the baby wouldn't catch cold. 1 smiled a don't-mention-it sort of a smile, and wondered where the gang were. I thought I was the first one there, and I felt very awkward. The man watched me pretty close, and finally he said I had the advantage of him, and I smiled again, but didn't say anything^ Now that I think of it. 1 noticed that he unbuttoned his shirt sleeves and began to roll them up. I did not think of it at the time, but his arms were as big as my legs. He asked me to what circumstance he was indebted for the honor of this visit, and I thought he was trying to get me off my guard so I would speak, when tliev would have the laugh on me, so I smiled one of my best two-for-a-quarter smiles, and looked at him as much as to say, 'you can't play any of your games on the undersigned.' I think he was the crossest looking man I ever saw, and 1 wondered what made the committee have the mtim sociable at his house. I thought it was time some of the rest of the crowd wore coming, and I got up and went to the window to iook out, when the man came up beside me and hissed in my ear, "What is your little game, anyway?" Well, I wasn't going to speak, and give myself away, so I looked at liiui sort of impudent, as much as to say, "0, go and chase yourself around your feet," and then 1 thought lightning had struck me. lie took me bv the throat with one hand, and by the vicinity of the coat tail with the other hand, and he choked me so my tongue run out, and his wife screamed anil said 'don't kill hitn,' and the man hustled me out in the hall, and opened the front door, and he picked me up bodily and threw me out into a snow bank livt^ feet deep. 1 struggled a little going out of the door, and run my nose against the door casing, and 1 guess he forgot to let go of my coat tail when I went out. I struck head tirst in the snow, and before I could dig my head out the door closed, and I could not explain my conduct to the man. 1 was so mad could not have explained anyway. Just as I got out of the snow bank and shook myself the door opened and the man threw out my overcoat and hat and overshoes, and he told his wife to hurry up with the shot-gun, ami he would take me on the tiv as I went over the fence. Well, I didn't wait for no shot gun. but grabbed my coat and thins?'ami came down the street on a galioo. I met a lot of the young people going up, and as I turned the corner 1 saw them going into the next house to the one that I visited, and that was the first 1 knew of my mistake. Now, what I want is for you to tell me whether I better shoot that man or kill him with a club. I was raised in the south, and my warm southern blood will not stand any such treatment." The bar-' tender laughed and told the young fellow he had better go and apologize to that man, or he would kick the other coat tail off the first time he saw hiiu, and the voting man said on second thought he reckoned he would.

Even!fc
ful Career of Its Composer—John How ard Payne. Henry Clay Lukens in Texas
had reached our free and independent country that a great and good man had died in fever-scourged Europe, a martyr to his philanthropic zeal*. No name a century back was more revered than that of John Howard. "Thus will we baptise our handsome boy," quoth Schoolmaster Payne to his second wife, and it was done. Little did these fond parents dream of the romantic career of that boy, of his future vagabondish life, his heartaches, his bitter poverty, his sudden but imperishable fame, and his death on an inhospitable shore at the comparatively immature age of sixty. As I write this narrative the remains of John Howard Payne, but a few days since exhumed at Tunis, after thirty years interment, are in charge of the diplomatic representative of the United States, at Marseilles, France, awaiting transportation by government or merchant steamer to this port, thence to be conveved to Washington and buried at the expense of millionaiae Corcoran, in Oak IIill cemetery, on the brow of a hill overhauling Rock creek, a tributary of the Potomac. Such is to be the final abode of the mortal relics of that poet whose home was the wide, bitter, unsympathetic world. This spot after next spring, when the monument is erected, will become a Mecca for the thousands and and tens of thousands who have sought in vain "amid pleasures and palaces" for that "charm from the skies" and "peace of mind dearer than all" which can only be found at "HOME, SWEET HOME."
In reviewing the earthly pilgrimage of John Howard Payne, one is impressed with its kaleidoscopic changes. Tie was of gentle blood, a scion of the best New England stock, but he became of his own choice a prodigal and a wanderer. His lather, who had many ups-and-downs as a doctor, merchant and pedagogue, was educated for physician by the hero Warren, whose life ebbed away at Bunker Hill. His father's sire was a member of the provincial assembly of Massachusetts, and an oliic.er in the colonial militia. His mother came from a highly-esteemed family of Israelites that dwelt for many years at East Hamilton, Long Island, the village that is so often erroneously printed as the birthplace of the author of "Home, Sweet Home." A curious story is extant about his maternal grandfather. He had raised a heavy crop of cranberries, and sent a liberal portion thereof as a gift to a friend in England. Back came the word that the fruit had arrived in a damaged condition, "having turned sour on the voyage." Mucli of the facial beauty of John Howard Payne was inherited from his mother. His childhood was spent in Boston, where his father had been called to take charge of a new academy. Here the elder Payne became noted as an elocutionist, and his son John as his most advanced pupil. At this time printer Woodworth, author of tlio "Old Oaken Bucket," employed young Payne as otliee imp and contributor^ to a juvenile paper, entitled the Fly. But the restless boy had heard of Master Betty's thespian victories in London, and his own feet toed toward ou8.. viivcit insminil he was sent back to New York to grow up in the mercantile house of Payne & Forbes, which had been established by his eldest brother, William Osborne Payne, then just deceased. The plan didn't work as father and mother hoped it would. Mr. Forbes was astonished one day to hear that his apprentice was editing a theatrical Mirror, and with considerable success.
HE WAS THEN THIRTEEN.
His merits had already enlisted the benevolence of a Mr. Seaman, who determined to send him to Union college and educate him. He accordingly sailed for Albany on a river sloop in company with Charles Brockden Brown, afterwards known as the first American novelist. The death of Payne's mother in 1808, and the subsequent bankruptcy of his fathar, again led the youth's thoughts to the footlights. ITis father's consent was seconded by that of his friend Seaman, and on the evening of the 24th of February, 1809, the sixteen-year-old Yankee Koscius bowed as Young Norval, on the boards of the Park theater, which then stood where the bustling ofiices of the Mail and Express, Daily News, and the World newspapers are now located. From the metropolis the boy-actor went forth to conquer the plaudits of Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, Washington, -Richmond, and even Charleston, South Carolina. Being honored with George Frederick Cooke, a trip to England was determined on, and early in January, 1811!, Payne embarked iit New York, and landing a month later at Liverpool, was jailed by the mayor of that city because he didn't know what else to do with such a progressive alien. Soon released, however, he went to London, and, after tiring of its streets and wonders, sought aii engagement at Drury Lane, obtained a hearing, made a big hit and triumphal round of the provinces. Then he went to Paris, saw Talma and was
FAVORED WITH niS KIND WORDS. Bonaparte returned from the Isle of Elba, and young Payno improved the forced confinement of the Hundred Days at the French capital by making translations of operettas and melodramas for the English stage. This began his adaptation and literary transfusion of other playwriters' ideas, language and situations. In many respects he out-Boucicaullcd Dion himself. 1 shall not take issue herewith dead-and-gone reviewers who howled like a pack of Siberian wolves whenever anew dramatic piece was brought out under his name. If he was a plagiarist, he was assuredly a remarkably honest and clever one, as his preface to "Brutus" and the tragedy irself will show. Harris, manager of Convent Garden, bought Payne's version of the "Maid and the Magpie" for one hundred and fifty pounds sterling, and made money by the purchase. Edmund Kean accepted "Brutus," and first appeared in it at Drury Lane, December 3, 1818. Charles Kemble, succeeding to the control of Con\ent Gardeu, in 1S22, nroduced Payne's opera of "Clari, or the Maid of Milan,' in which the older Miss Tree (sister of Mrs. Charles Kean) lirst sang the immortal "Home, •Sweet Home." The music of this songhymn of civilization was born of the genius of Henry Rowley Bishop (17861855). Before" 1S«0 it* was computed that one hundred and twenty thousand copies of the ballad had been sold by the original publishers. On the twentieth night of the performance of "Clari" it had been stipulated that Kemble was to pay John Howard Payne twentv-five pounds. Not a sixpence of the' sum agreed upon ever touched the minstrels fingers. A writer in the I'tica Observer quite recently gave these facts about Payne's tragedy of "Yirginius:"
Edward Kean employed both Knowles and Payne to write plays introducing that marked historical character. Payne's was acknowledged to be superior in diction, but at the same time lacking certain elements which go far toward making a strong aetiug drama.

had already had rffany serious financial complications. So Kean gave the preference lo Knowles' rendition of the classical story and cariods was the sequel.. Though the tragedy vjaa (tamned on the first night, it in time became a favorite with actore and their patrons. Our own McCullough regards it as the best in his repertoire."
"It was many and many yearaage, on this island by the aea, aadKffl-ihat lower section of its twelve-mile length which is now almost exclusively occupied by the money changers and the stock gamblers, that a precocious child was born to the modest house of Payne. This event was jotted down in the family record, among eight or nine similar happenings, as the special order of business for June 9, 1792. Two years before this the slow news, this high dignity, actually starved in
Twenty years after, "Home, Sweet Home" became nationalized by all nations. Queen Victoria knighted the melodist bishop. What a startling contrast of recompense! The framer of the words, which every humanist's lips hold pat, and will thus hold_forever, had, ere his co-lyrist received
Parisian attics, and walked the musty highways of London without the beggarly pittance needed for food and lodging. In 1832 he made a temporary "rise," and returned to' his native land. Here his fortunes were bolstered by a monster benefit at the "New Park." But Payne's spirit was broken, and he drifted into a come-day-go-day-God-send-every-day sort of existence now strolling through the western towns, tramping the Florida everglades, anon a Democratic editor, then twice consul at an insalubrious African city, where, on a weary April day, in 1852, he folded his thin hands over a breast whose longings were stilled, and whose feeble throbs betokened the end of unrest and the certain satisfaction of nature's debt. IIow tenderly and reverently will the sailors of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic handle the casket in whifth is to be transported the tardily reclaimed dust of Columbia's famed exile, who wandered 1n vain! Inftfee grand Occidental commonwealth of homes the ashes of John Howard Payne are, by the grace of philosophy, to "find a peaceful and eternal habitation. Of his masterpiece it has been truthfully written that it was a rough diamond of verse, "cut and set with perfect art."
A Poem By Adelaide Neil son. Correspondence Chicago Iuter-Oeean.
Framed in gilt and surrounded by a wreath of green ivy hung a large piece of embroidery, roses of varied hue mingled with lilies and green leaves. "This," said Mrs. Bland, in the course of the evening chat, "my daughter worked when she wras only eight years of age. She was always very clever at anything with her fingers, from dressing a doll to making a bonnet." And, indeed, the mother had a right to be proud of this specimen of child's needlework, for it would compare favorably with the embroidery of a professional needlewoman. "Your daughter had many talents?" I queried. "Yes, and some that the world knew nothing of for instance, only her intimate friends were aware that she occasionally wrote verses, unless I except Longfellow, who, after reading some of her original poems, said: 'I have never before seen such a combination of dramatic genius and poetical feeling' and,Indeed, he wrote some very beautiful verses about her, but it was on condition that they should not be published." "Have you preserved any of Miss Neilson's poems?" "Yes, and I have one in this very box," said Mrs. Bland, taking up a curious shell box. "The dear child «at down here one evening and dashed off these lines to please her old aunt, who is a devout Methodist, and asked her to write something on the dying year. You are the first stranger that has ever seen them," she concluded, and, after a little persuasion, kindly aliowed me to copy the following verses:

"A DARTER UV MY OWN."
All Honest Ferryman's Service to Foolish Girl.
The Hour. Sam Ivimper was a ferryman on a western river, who, though addicted to drinking, was a good, straightforward fellow, always courteous and correct in his dealings. One night ho was "poling" a man and a woman in a buggy across the river and heard her say: "What will father think?" Further talk ensued, during which he recognized the voice of a doctor's daughter living a few miles tfown stream. He did not like the man's voice, and was confirmed in his prejudice when the fellow began talking about going to Cincinnati and not letting her father know of their movements for a week. The girl began crying and the fellowanswered roughly. She begged him to take her back home. "Take you back home," said he, in a rough laugh. "Let a bird out of a cage after you ve fairly caged it? Oh, no! I love you too "well for that."' By this time the boat was nearly across the river, and Sam said to the stranger: "Mister, the curren's pooty swift to-day there's a right smart freshet on. Reckon I'll have to ask you to make the lines fast ashore while I hold the boat agin tfie bank." The man got out and stood at the bo'A of the boat. Sam poled it against the bank with such violence that over went the man on the shore. Sam let the boat drift away, and turning to the girl, amid the howls and curses of the man in the water,.said: "Reckon ye don't want him no more, do ye?" "No, no!" she exclaimed. The girl being in doubt about her ability to drive home, even after she had reached the other shore, Sam let his boat go down the stream. "What are you going to do?" asked the girk. "Boat ye down to the steamboat landin' for your town." "That will a dreadful lot of work all for a silly girl." "I've got a darter uv my own," said he. I'retty soon he stopped pulling, and the girl said lie must be very tired. "Not a bit of it," said Sam. "I'm slowin' up so's to reach there about dusk." "Just what I wanted to ask you to do." "Thought so," said Sam, ""I've a darter uv my own." Everything was favorable, ami no one "saw the carriage drive off the boat. The girl promised that her father would pay Sam handsomely. "I don't want the money," said Sam. "I've gat a darter uv my own. There's one thing I do want," said Sam: "If doctors don't know good stuff from bad, nobody does, an' ef he could send me a good solid drink o' somethin', seein', 'twill take me two or three hours to pole the boat back." The promise was readily given, and in a few minutes the doctor came down with a bottle of brandy and two men to pole the boat back but Sam said brandy would be more useful as well as better company. The doctor wanted to know how lie could repay him, and Sam answered: "You can repay me in kind, ev ye ever get a chance. I've gota darter uv my own, you know."
Novelty in Weddings.
Anew form of marriage has been invented by a spirited young lady of Pennsylvania, who, in the presence of witnesses, promised fidelity to the man of her choice, and thereby proclaimed herself his wife, without claiming anything from him as a legal right, or exacting any vows or pledges whatever from the party of the other part. Doubtless this youthful female philanthropist hopes io commend matrimony, to reluctant masculines by making its yoke light and easy to beginners, but we fear there are men who will prove obdurate even under such auspices, unless a free night key is also thrown

IiOST IV THE MOUNTAINS.
A Thrilling fJtorjr «t Hraafeiin( Wo* man and a Man With a Heart. Han Jose Mercury.
On a recent Wednesday, at 10 a. m., Mrs. Ruger, wlio", with her husband and two chndreifnives near the summit of Mt. Day, the highest peak which lies to the north of Mt. Hamilton, left her home in search of her cows, which were but a short distance away. It was a cold, freezing day, raining and snowing alternately. The woman was slightly near-sighted and the stormy weather assisted in confusing her and she became bewildered and instead of going home, as she thought, she took the opposite direction and soon was hopelessly lost. About noon her husband became alarmed at her prolonged absence and went in search of her, and at night, not getting any trace of her, aroused the neighbors, who are cattle-ranchers and wood-choppers, who live in the adjacent hills, and soon a dozen sturdy mountaineers were searching the rough mountain sides and deep gorges of Mt. Day.
Camp-fires were built all along the mountain sides, and the lurid glare shot up toward heaven, lighting up the deep gorges to guide the wanderer home. At day light the following morning a systematic plan of search was arranged* and each party took its course, with the understanding that three signal guns should be tired in case she was found. Like all persons who are lost she crossed and rccrossed her tracks so that it was almost impossible to get a "hot" trail, owing to the rough nature of the ground. The party searched faithfully till late in the afternoon, when one after another dropped off and returned home, worn out with hungar and fatigue, to recuperate before renewing the search. No person thought it possible for the woman to live through the night, as she was thinly clad and bareheaded.
But there was one man in that crowd, an old mauntaiueer, who determined not to quit the search while a ray of hope remained of finding her alive, and, most wonderful to relate, he was successful. About 3 p. m. of the second day pf search three signal guns were heard booming up the deep gorge through which Smith creek runs, proclaiming the glad tidings that the lost was found. I don't know whether there was "joy in heaven" or not, but I do know there was joy in this neighborhood, and many an eye glistened with tears of gladness. The man of whom I sp*ak is J. R. Kincaid, or "Bob" Kincaid, as he is known all over the mountains, poor in this world's goods, but with a heart as big as Mount Hamilton, whose latch string always hangs out, a bait for every tramp," dead beat and sponge of the mountains, who never miss a meal and never pay a cent.
With the instinct of an old hunter, he divined her course and followed it to a successful end. He followed her for five miles from her home, through the deep and almost impassable gorge below the junction of Smith creek with the San Isabella. Many places she had slipped and rolled twenty or thirty feet and one place three hundred. Yet, strange to relate, not a bone in her body was broked. When found she was just sinking into an insensible sleep, which would have known no waking. Kincaid took of! his shoes and covered her naked feet, and his clothes and wrapped her in then, built afire and warmed and rubbed her into semi-consciousness and with the assistance which the signal guns had brought ho carried her to her home, which she reached at ten o'clock p. m., just thirty-six hours from the time she left it, in an insensible condition, but in a fair way for recovery.
A Chat Willi Gen. Sherman. From the N. Y. Tribune's Broadway NoteBook.
I was talking to Gen. Sherman last week about his early days in Lancaster, Ohio. He said that his mother had only S200 income when her husband died, and eleven children on her hands, and that Thomas E wing, Sr., having experienced some kindness from Sherman's father—"though"—said Gen. Sherman, "my father did not begin to have the ability of Ewmg,"—the latter told Mrs. Sherman he wanted to bring up one of the boys as his own. Siie was loth to lose any of them, but lowing insisted, and thought of taking two others, respectively. "But," said the general, with agruntof laughter, "they said 1 was the smartest, and he must take me." "Was Secretary Ewing a man to give much time to children?" 1 asked. "No," answered Gen. Sherman "but he was a very just man. He was steady and linweavcring where he made" up his mind to help anybody. I took my chance with the rest of the boys, was treated neither better nor worse, and he sent me to West I'oint. He was one of the greatest men of his country," said Sherman. "He was an ingrained Whig, and when Harrison was elected, that old general was a mere shell and was entirely the construction of the positive spirits, like Thomas Ewing, who rallied about him and held him np." Said I: "General, that march of yours to the sea was a very big thing." "Pshaw!" said Sherman, "going to the sea was not the thing at all. That took me to far on my right flank. The genius of that march was after I left Savannah, when I went right straight for Joe John ston's army, and there I should have gone in the first place but for a political and popular belief that I must com nmnicate with the fleet and get provisions."
BEHIND THE SCENES.
How Actors llelinve in Their DressingTvOOlllB. London Graphic.
Actors' dressing-rooms are not very superb apartments. Tushed in everywhere in the fabric, of the theater as architects' afterthoughts, now jammed between the stage and wall, now hurried beneath the pit or hoisted between the sunlight and the roof, there is little room in them for comfort, and less for elegance. They are, for the most part, very dungeon-like rooms and the ventillation of the ordinary prison cell—yes, we have tried it— is "a moral" by comparison. A dresser containing drawers generally runs around two sides of the cell. The top thereof is scored, chalked, smashed and otherwise divested of selfrespect while the drawers are, as frequently as not, handless. Carpeting is not a frequent luxury. There may be a rough deal table, or there may not. Reckless managers, in the first flush of handling other people's money, have been known to provide for them. The successive tenants have adorned the walls with creations of wit and fancy sketches of friends in the profession, or of the manager (generally uncomplimentary), with occasional legend affecting private character, attributing, in jflain Saxon, imbecility to its unhappy subject. There is, or has been, a mirror provided, but, if it is not in the dust nole already, it deserves to be, for its cracked condition adds more "lines" to the face than is necessary for the broadest burlesque. Such chairs as there are frequently appear to have been purchased in the slums of Drury, with such change as a soda and brandy leaves out of a shilling. And it somehow always happens that the most popular theaters are the worst off in the little particulars above mentioned, and in their general accommodations for their players. It is not unusual to find a prosperous actor, who possesses a mansion in the suburbs, breathing, or gasping, ami dressing, in a band-box of a place which he would not condemn his scullery maid

LUCKY "DINK" DAVIS.
Uoxv lie Itroke the Now York Fnro lSaiika, anl Pocketed ?GO,OOO. Philadelphia Special.
The sensation of the poker rcfoms and sporting headquarters liereto-night is the unparale.lled run of luck that has followed "Dink" Davis through the past month, and enabled him to scoop the professional and innocent ones in Gotham to the extent of over §60,000. "Dink" is a favorite here, having at one time been a well-known faro dealer, and as honesty goes in that seductive game, ranked the squarest man among the keepers of such places. "Dink" gathered himself together a month ago, and one night appeared among the bovs in Barclay street, New York, with $1,700 in his pocket. Davis is known all over the country to sporting men, and when he made the lirst few raises it excited but little comment. The cash continued to go Davisward, however, in a steady stream almost without a single break, and the dealers began to open their eyes. He was catching tlieni for all tlie.y were worth, and soon smaller ones began going under and stopping business for a while. Then "Dink" turned his attention to larger fish, which soon fell into the same net. Night after night he won, returned and won again, until there was scarcely a bank in Barclay street he had not broken. When the month was up knowing ones said he had caught on to $-15,000. Their estimate was too low, for "Dink" quit winner with over $60,000 in his pocket. Fifteen thousand of this lie sent to his father in the country. He is said to have salted down a good share of the remainder and to have left New York for fresh pastures.
A Romance.
John V. Ayer, the firm of whose sons has recently failed so disastrously in Chicago, while apoor school teacher in New Orleans, was clandestinely married, .it is said, to a young lady whose parents were very wealthy and occupied a high social rank. They had objected to liis suit, and when the secret marriage was made known to them they refused to be reconciled, and finally spirited the bride away. Soon afterwards, Ayer was made to believe that she was dead, and he thereupon went, to Chicago and engaged ornestly in business to drown his sorrow. In a few years he became wealthy, and then wedded a Chicago lady. Thirty years after his first marriage he revisited New Orleans, and met and recognized his first wife, whom he had supposed to be dead. She was then the wife of a Mr. Copeland, but her eldest son, Herbert, was the lawful son of Mr. Ayer. Delighted at the discovery of a son whose existence he had not dreamed of, Mr. Ayer took the young man back to Chicago and gave him a good place in his otliee. On Mr. Ayer's death, Herbert rose to be the head of the firm, and lias since retained that position, lie supports a mother, now a Widow, in a luxurious home in Baltimore.
How Arabi Pasha Went Into Kxile. Pall Mall Gazefte. Capt. Thomas Osborne of the steamship which took Arabi Pasha and his companions in exile to Ceylon, and arrived at Bombay, on January 10, has furnished the following account of the voyage: "We took Arabi Pasha and his associates and their families on board at Suez, and sailed for that port on December 27, bound for Colombo. They were seasick for the first two or three days, and after that they bright? ened up and were always more or less cheerful. Eventually in fact, they became as happy as if they were going to paradise.
The dullest of the lot was Arabi. The exiled party went ashore in four squads. In' the last one was Arabi. On landing the people crowded round him. should call it fairly mobbing one. Some kissed his clothing, ami some got down on their knees and kissed his boots. The party were driven away in carriages to the Cinnamon Gardens, where tnev were located in some handsome bungalows. On the whole, I don't think any of them regretted his lot. They never exhibted any symptoms of fear, and believed a happy future to be before them."
Boots of All Ages.
The Mnsee de Cluny in Paris is about to open a'room devoted to the collection of boots of all ages, made by the late M. Jtiles Jacquemait, the wellknown etcher and collector of china, and which tj as acquired by the French government in November, 18S0. There are shoes of Catharine de Medicis and shoes of Louis XIII. and Louis XIV. downward, and shoes of all nations, from red Indian mocasins to those that cover the feet of Chinese ladies. The world is generally utterly ignorant of the origin of iU most common articles of clothing, remarks the Pall Mall Gazette. Few people could tell exactly when trousers began, aud fewer still know when shirts were invented. Isabelle of Bavaria, wife of Charlemagne, owned two chemises, and was the envy of Europe, according to Brantome, while Queen Elizabeth slept in brocade nightshirts like cardboard, and went wild with delight when she wore the first
stockings made in England.

Actors are
the'best'of all good company, and for flashes of wit and play of humor, for character, and, above all, for geniality, commend us to the dressing room when in full swing. Though the occupauU are crowded together like sardines in a tin, or promises in an election speech, or lies in a gas meter—to borrow a mot from Mr. Brough—still room is cheerfully made for you. A pipe smokes doubly sweet there, because it is strictly prohibited, and modest refreshers are the more refreshing from being sent for in all sorts of odd vessels. Talk is fast, while sticks of color skim over shaven faces, and brushes full of bole armenia pursue their devious tracks under eyes, and over cheeks and forehead. Your beardless young friend of twenty shakes hands with you, and turns back from his glass a few minutes afterward transformed into a pere noble of sixty, whom you unconsciously address with a shade more deference than before. The hero of comic opera adjusts that silky mustache and those flowing flaxen locks which will carry his upper notes home to the hearts of all the young ladies in the audience, and possibly entail upon him some correspondence. Comic "go* ups" which will make the house roar presently are elaborated with the business air of a judge in banc, or a water-rate collector. Calls for the dresser to help on with recalcitrant girments interrupt comments on the latest news about town, leading on to oiscussion of what fresh "gag" should be introduced that evening whilb a cross-fire of complimentary remarks on the manager rises and falls. That official's double facedness, favoritism, underhandedness, and general villainy receive their full meed of attention from our friends in the dressing-room. Along-drawn "Ah?" is the general chorus, as some fresh diabolical act of his is disclosed. But it is all right. Previous experience whispers confidentially to you that there will be no murder" committed. Then there is more gossip. The "rounds," the "call," the "curtains," the blunders, and tiffs of the previous evening elbow one another ofl'the tapis in droll fashion.
