They had no busi ness w.th literature, in his ojxnion, and were incapable of achieving success in it. Assistant Private Secretary 1‘ruden has been at the White house for twenty- five years. He asserts, and he is high authority, that Rutherford B. Hayes was the most liberal entertainer who ever occupied the executive mansion. This is contrary to general belief. Mr. I*roden'e word is not to be doubted, however. The latest kind ot thieves that New York has produced are men who make a businesi of stealing toothpicks. They lounge around the cashier's desk in large hotels and restaurants, and when no one is looking press their band on the tooth picks, which are standing end up, and then withdraw their hand into a conven ient pocket. One of the latest social innovations, says an English paper, is the female but ler, a parlor maid in livery. A good looking girl in livery of dark blue, green, gold or scarlet and white looks very smart and the waiting is, as a rule, done more quietly and deftly than by a man. This opens out a new field of employ ment for women. During some maneuvers of the Ger man cavalry at Breig, a woman and her little boy got in front of a regiment of cuirassiers charging at full gallop. The leading officer shouted to her to lie down and she did, lying upon her boy. Then the whole regiment passed over without injuring her, every horse in whose track she lay, having been made to jump over her. Commodore John G. Walker, who has for several years been the real head of the navy department, haa been ordered to sea as commander of die European squadron. The commander ia every inch a sailor and looks it. He is about five feet ten. solidly built, and his gait shows that he has trod the deck for yegrs. He pay» little attention to dies», but devotes some care to his ' Dundre ary'' whiskers and wavy black hair. He ia considered a martinet by tlie drones in the service, but is nothing more than conscient,ously faithful to bis duty.
