A “PERSONAL” PARADE, Thirty Silly Women Place Themselves in a Humiliating: Position Before a Brute and a Fool. Chicago Tribune. Not long ago a personal advertisement appeared in a Chicago paper worded somewhat as follows: I)EKSONAL— WANTED. THE ACQUAINTance of a refilled, prepossessing young lady, by a gentleman of flrat-eiase standing, with Oicans. Object, matrimony. Address X. Forty-one answers were received by Mr. X. of all kinds and styles—some daintily written and expressed, others misspelled and folded with grimy fingers, but all containing the assertion that it was the first time the writer had ever replied to a personal, and a few words of description, such as: “I am slender and blonde,” ‘‘plump, with black hair and dark eyes,” etc., one concluding with the remark, “i am strickly Verchuous if you are trifling don’t anser.” Many gave their full names and addresses, while others concealed their identity behind a P. O. or fictitious address. Mr. X. replied to one, and requested the writer to meet him on the steps of McVicker’s Theater the next afternoon, carrying a magazine in her left hand as a means of identification. Punctually to the minute she appeared and stationed herself on the steps, gazing anxiously around for the appearance of the gallant unknown. He, in the meanwhile, was observing her from a distance, but was far from being impressed with her charms. Calling a friend, they passed and repassed her, coolly criticising and quizzing her appearance, but not allowing her to suspect that one of them was the gentleman she expected. After half an hour's solitary watching and waiting she abandoned her post, and, mingling with the crowd, disappeared. Mr. X. viewed several of his correspondents in this way at a distance, but as all fell far short of the standard of beauty and refinement he desired, he concealed his identity from all, and concluded to wind up the affair with a grand dress-parade of his forty-one fair friends, and invited half a dozen gentlemen to witness it He then wrote a polite note to each of the addresses he had received, apologizing handsomely for his non-appear-ance, with the plea of unexpected business, to those with whom he had already made an appointment. He begged each one to meet him at 3 o’clock Friday afternoon, on the north side of Randolph street, between Dearborn and State, and taxed his ingenuity to suggest a separate and distinguishing mark by which each one could proclaim her identity. One he requested to carry a blue veil in her hand, another to wear a green ribbon at her throat, another to carry a parcel wrapped in newspaper, etc. The stretch of sidewalk appointed for the meeting was in plain view from the windows of Mr X.’s office across the street, and at the time appointed the friends invited were on hand promptly to see the parade. As the clock struck 3 the ladies began to appear, and excitement reigned in the office. First • came a stylishly-dressed little widow, sauntering carelessly along, carrying under her arm a huge newspaper parcel at which she glanced from time to time with evident disgust. Then appeared from the other direction a tall, dignified young lady, who wore at her throat a green bow large enough to decorate an entire St. Patrick’s Day procession. The bine veil also duly made its appearance, carried by an elderly, dowdilydressed woman, who whs so determined to make the acquaintance of her correspondent that she lingered on the block till dark, waving her blue banner at times as if to summon the recreant knight to her side. But all in vain; the shades of night fell at last like a pall upon the city, and upon her hopes, and ns Mr. X. passed her on hi 9 way home to dinner she was just turning to abandon the spot. Thirty ladles of all ages and styles appeared in response to the appointment, and the fun ir. the office waxed fast and furious. The notes were spread upon the windowsills, with the appointed signals penciled upon each, and the gentlemen enjoyed the piquant situation to the utmost, shouting with laughter at the appealing, inquiring glances cast by each lady at the gentlemen hurrying past, with such complete and comical unconsciousness of her twenty-nine companions in. misfortune. One young lady bad been requested to twirl her glove in her right hand, and as she had come in all the way from La Grange to keep the appointment, she was evidently resolved that there should be no mistake as to her identity, so she marched back and forth for threequarters of an hour twirling that glove with energy sufficient to have raised 200 pounds fifty feet, if properly applied, or to have fed half a dozen electric lamps. The parade and the maneuvering were pronounced a grand success by the spectators, and continued with no break in the ranks for about thirty minutes. Then the widow pitched her newspaper bundle into the street and walked briskly off, the rest following her example in the course of the next half hour. When all but the damsel with the blue veil had departed the gentleman threw nil the notes into the fire, and they separated, after passing a vote of thanks to Mr. X. for his delightful and novel entertainment. Thus endeth the history of the personal, every word of which is true, with the exception of the locality mentioned, as will be certified by any one of the gentleman spectators in the office, or of the forty-one ladies ffbo answered the advertisement DANGERS IN CANNED FOOD. Inferior Grades of Goods—The Lead Used In Soldering. Jfew York Herald. The manager of one of the largest packing houses in Baltimore said to the writer in an off-hand way: “I suppose it is true with regard to all the packers in this city (he would not talk of the trade elsewhere) that they sometimes in the rush of business—probably it is on account of the pressure of business—put up goods that they are ashamed of. They are able to put up the best, but they allow themselves to be pushed into turning out goods that are really inferior.” "Do you mean in regard to the quality of the material cunned, or in the manner in which it is canned?” lie was asked. "Both,” was the frank reply. "They buy cheap tilings to can because they are cheap, and they slight thecans in putting them up.” "Do they use the hand-made or the ma-chine-made cans 9 ” asked the writer. It must be remembered that the first are "inside soldered” and the others are the "outside soldered.” "Both kinds,” he answered, but more of the hand made than the other, as the inside soldering on the hand work is considered to give a better can—a stronger and more reliable can than the machines can turn out. There is a less percentage of loss in them. You know, of course, that if there is the smallest possible hole in the can the air will get in and the goods will be destroyed.” "But how about the danger that is said to exist in the inside soldering?” "I do not believe it exists. The portion of lead that is exposed to the action of the acids in the fruits, and so forth, that are put inside. is so infinitesimally small that Ido not believe there is any danger. Certainly not one-thousandth part as much as exists in the lead pipes that are used in the plumbing of New York houses through which you draw vour drinking water.” "But those lead pipes are known to be exceedingly dangerous. Drinking the first water that comes through them in the morning will kill a strong man in a year.” "Well,” said the manager, "I said they were dangerous. But Ido not consider the soldering inside a tin can to present any danger.” “I believe,” said the reporter, "that no packer admits that there has been a single '•ase of poisoning that can be correctly traced so the use of canned fruit. But a good many

persons who are not packers believe that there is such a danger, and that it can be so traced.” "Well, I do not believe it.” "Why, then, did the French people pass a law' prohibiting the importation of any food in cans that are soldered on the inside?'* "Well, that law was passed as a good many laws are passed in this country. Some crank, I suppose, got hold of the notion that there was dancer in the solder, and agitated the subject till he got a boom on it and got enough people to believe it to secure the passage of the law. "Just think,” he continued, "how very little lead is exposed to the action of the acid in the cans. To begin, the solder is not all lead. It is tin and lead—rather more lead than tin, but not pure lead by any means. Then a piece no larger than the end of a lead pencil is put on the seam that is to be fastened, and that is sweated into the seam so that you cannot see any of it with the naked eye.” This, it is proper to say, /as an exaggeration, as appeared at one" when the cans lie showed were examined. The solder was plainly visible to the naked eye. The question of the actual chemical examination of canned goods demands consideration by itself. BUTLER AT NEW ORLEANS. The Story Told by a Lady Resident of the Crescent City. / New Orleans Tinies-Pemocrat. Some startling revelations were made to a representative of the Times-Democrat by a lady, who, for motives of her own, does not care to have her name thus publicly brought into the controversy. The lady is a widow of a prominent lawyer, whose sympathies were largely with the Federal forces during the war. Men of his professional and secular acuteness were not easily obtained in those days as legal advisers to the military rulers; so the services of this lawyer, who was even better acquainted with criminal than with civil law, were sometimes eagerly sought after by General Butler and his successor, General Banks. Under these circumstances he was in a position to ask and receive favors from the United States authorities that few others could obtain. The lady said that just after Butler left the citv she’ went with a friend to identify and take possession of some silver ware that had been previously seized. This permission had been obtained by her husband, who, to a certain degree had influence enough to protect the property of his intimates. Armed with this permit the lady end her friend proceeded to the place where the confiscated silver was kept in safety and secresy. It was a largewarehouse that runs from Magazine street through to Tchoupitoulas, and is not so far from Canal but what it can be seen by the passer-by. Conducted to the second story of this building, which was strongly guarded even for those troubled times, they saw a scene that still lives vividly in their memories. This long hall, extending from street to street, was literally filled with plunder of the richest material. Silver candelabra, that glistened even in the subdued light of the warehouse; golden interior decorations, dainty articles of vertu,’silver services, embossed with old-time crests, lay in reckless profusion upon the floor. All this property was scattered around in almost promiscuous manner, and without any regara to former ownership. By going from one pile to another, her friend was able, after some trouble, to identify her belongings, which, with the permit, she was able to carry off. How these things came there, and what became of them, the lady wa9 unable to say. Craved by a Cruel Joke. Paris Correspondence London Telegraph. There has just died at Charenton a man who has had a very curious history. Thirty years ago the deceased, whose name was Roussot, was condemned to death at the Seine Assizes, for the murder of an old gentleman, M. Demoury. The case had excited considerable interest and the court was crowded with spectators. Among the persons standing immediately behind Roussot, who was flanked by a pair of gendarmes, was one Planchat, an employe of the Presse newspaper, who bad somehow contrived to wriggle himself into that position without attracting notice. Scarcely had the sentence been pronounced when Planchat, moved, as he afterward explained, by an uncontrollable impulse, passed the side of his hand over the prisoner’s neck in imitation of the keen blade of the guillotine, at the same time emitting a whirring sound. Roussot instantly fell forward with a shriek of terror, and the bystanders, indignant at this heartless and shocking act, rushed upon Planchat and roundly abused him. Planchat was subsequently condemned to two years’ imprisonment. As for his victim, he never recovered the shock, but remained insane until the day of his death. He was pardoned by the Emperor, and confined, first at Bicetre and afterward at Charenton, where he has just expired. The unfortunate man was under the impression that he had been uciually beheaded in the Palais de Justice, and when relating the story was in the habit of imitating the strange sound that haunted him for thirty years. Future of the- Colored Race. From Address ly Frederick Douglass. What is to be the future of the colored feople of this country? Three different soutions to this difficult problem have been given and adopted by different classes of the American people—First, colonization in Africa; second, extinction through poverty, disease and death; third assimilation and unification witii the great body of the American people. Ido not look for colonization either in or outside of the United States. Africa is too far off, even if we desired to go there, which we do not. Removal to any of the Territories is .out of the question. We have no business to put ourselves before the bayonets of the white race. We have seen the fate of the Indian. As to extinction, the prospect in that direction has been greatly clouded by the census just taken, in which it is seen that our increase is 10 per cent, greater than that of the white people of the South. There is but one destiny, it seems to me, left for us, nnd that is to make ourselves and be made by others a part of the American people in every sense of the word. Assimilation, not isolation, ta our true policy and our natural destiny. Unification for us is life; separation is death. We cannod assort to set up for ourselves a separate political party or udopt for ourselves a political creed apart from the rest of our fellow-citizens. Current Magazines. Macmillan for April contains an installment of Mrs. Oliphant’s "The Wizard’s Son,” a paper on “Libel Law Reform,” by James Neville Porter, "The Siege of Potchefetroom,” "A Red Indian Revenge Raid,” "Recollections of Lord Chancellor Westbury,” "Eza,” "A Canadian Study of ‘The Princess,”* "A Wintry Sonnet,” and "Pat ent Medicines.” Among the more interesting papers in the May Popular Science Monthly are: "The Remedies of Nature—Consumption,” "Science aud Conscience,” "Physics in General Education,” "Microscopic Life in the Air,” "How Much Animals Know.” "How Ancient Forests Became Coal,” "Why are We RightHanded?” "Lengthening the Visible Spectrum,” and a "Sketch of Professor Richard Owens.” This week’s Our Continent is largely taken up with an illustrated article on coats-of-arms.

SECTION THIRTY-FOUR. A Dreadful Law Which the Washington Resilient Regards with Grief. Correspondence New York Herald. There is within the lids of the revised statutes a dreadful section, the mere thought of which causes the average Washingtonian to turn blue. It is numbered thirty-four. Let me explain. Congress is constitutionally | bound to assemble at least once a year here in Washington, and the President is obliged to live here while Congress is in session. But neither Congress nor the President, to the everlasting regret of a host of people, remains here ail tiie time. And if it should come to pass when Congress is about to convene that, from the prevalence of contagious disease or the existence of other circumstances, it would, in the opinion of President Arthur, be hazardous to the lives or health of the members to meet at the seat of government, then that dreadful section comes in: for in such case it authorizes the President by proclamation to convene Congress at such other place as he may judge proper. This is what the calf-bound volume declares may be done. It was a dreadful act of wisdom passed by the Third Congress, having the approval of George Washington, A, D. 1791, when the government had no particular seat after it-had been carried from New York to Philadelphia and before it reached its final resting place on the banks of the Potomac. What would happen in the dire event of such a proclamation would be to the average Washingtonian, hereinbefore mentioned, but a prolongation of the condition of affairs which has temporarily settled down upon us. To the curious inquirer who asks, "What is Washington without the presence of Congress and the chief magistrate?” the deserted caravansaries, the empty dining-rooms and dismantled establishments return a melancholy answer. It is true the work of the departments goes on about the same; the clerks draw their pay with undeviating regularity, spend a portion for the necessaries of life, and, with much persistence disburse the remainder among the lottery companies, building associations, and other combinations invented for their amusement, improvement ana poverty. But what are the pickings from a lot of indifferently-paid clerks to an enterprising people rendered preternnturally sharp by many years of grasping for the loaves and fishes and slices which come in with Congress and take its train? They may be likened to an aiite-prauuial beverage, whose only effect is to whet the appetite. From these premises, and by a natural ratiocination, the canclusion is reached that the average Washingtonian would like to have Congress in session ali the time. Such is the fact. True, it has been asserted that what is Washington’s loss is the country’s gain; it has even been asserted that outside of the city’s limits the great heart of the nation heaves a sigh of relief when Congress adjourns, and that the great industrial interests of the country, agitated and uncertain while it is in session, settle down serenely when it is ended, as though a danger had been happily passed. A grave and reverend senator from Nebraska, or at least as grave and reverend as could be found in his section in his day, Tipton by name, when advocating a long holiday recess, stated that he had just arrived in the Senate chamber fresh from the people, and he knew the country was never so happy as when Congress was away. "In God’s name,” exclaimed the Senator, "shall we deprive the citizens of the whole nation of a holiday blessing by refusing to adjourn over for several weeks?” But this feeling is regarded by the average Washingtonian, "the one who keeps the hotel,” as the result of malice, hatred and all uncharitableness on the part of those who desired to have the seat of government transferred to the banks of the Mississippi or to where California’s watet'9 roll down the golden strands. Be this as it may, Mr. Edmunds, acting Vice-president by grace of the independent party, who recently quite filled the seat, and who really is a grave and reverend senator without guile, once said the lnw of compensation exists to bless everybody; and so if Washington is blest twelve months in two years and the country "tothered”—as Joe says in "Bleak House”—and vice versa, why, then rlie fitness of things is illustrated and no one need complain. Swapping a Jackass for a #40,000 Lot. Pittsburg Dispatch. Henry Clay once owned the lot opposite the White House, in Washington, and Commodore John Rogers wanted it, but the old Whig persistently refused to dispose of it. On his return from the Mediterranean the Commodore brought in one of his vessels a fine Andalusian jackass, which Clay wanted for his Kentucky stock farm. All offers were rejected, until one day the Commodore said, "You can have him for your lot opposite the White House.” "Done,” was Clay’s reply, and the animal was shipped off to Kentucky. The Commodore built the now historic house which Secretary Seward occupied during the war. Here Payne endeavored to assassinate him on the night President Lincoln was shot. The lot is now valued at $40,000. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES,. The formal opening of the Brooklyn bridge will occur May 2.
