Washington Notes.
Our Government la fepllng rt new dli;
nlty from the courtesies and honors,
Justly Its due, that merrlo old England
Is paying It through Its ex-Presldent,
General Grant, It seemed, somo yecki
ago, that no higher compliment. could
bo paid than the gift presented by tho
city of London. I refer to tile golden
casket, containing tho freedom of the
city, nnd ornamented .with our coat of.
arms, supported by American eagles
and resting, on the Uaeof our Itepubllo ;
but late despatches contain accounts of
Hotter still than that. A special per.
fiirmance was given at the Royal Italian
Opera, ond when General Grant and
party entered, the assembly arose with
the curtain nnd Mile. Albatil sang "The
btarSpangled Banner," with full chorus.
The stage was decorated with the Stars
and Sttlpes, and General Grant appear
ed, for the first time since lie has been
in Eurcpe, lu the full uniform of a Ma
jor General, He was vociferously ap
plauded nnd bowed n gracious respimso.
The party then left the Opera llouse to
attend the Queen's ball at Buckingham
Palace,
President Hayes having appointed
Miss Ada Sweet pension agent at Chi
cago, politicians are greatly .disappoint
ed. They havo fought hard.agaliibt her,
but their opposition lias seemed but to
strengthen her cause In the mind of the
President. Indeed, ho has openly ex
pressed himself as being li favor ot
giving women tho preference In all
niatters of appointment to olllce, other
things being eiu;al.
, The wlfo of General Sherman Is, and
always has been, a very devoted Catho
lic ; and when she left thli city a few
months since, everybody thought she
had Joined In the Itomish pilgrimage
and was going to hold personal counsel
with t,he Holy Pope. She was, In fact,
only visiting in St. Louis, and was ab
sent but a few weeks. Now, however,
it is currently repurted that tho lady is
to receive fiom the Pope, in testimony
ot hlsilgh appreciation of her zeal for
the Catholic lalth and her friendship for
himself, the "Golden Rose," which
honor Is one of tho greatest, only lieing
given to "Princes, Potentates, aud Pow
ers" n$ a pledge of tho paternal allec
Hon of tho Pope. Pius IX. has bestowed
the "Golden Itoo " but three times
oue he gave to Maria Teresa, Queen of
Naples, to thank her fur tho kiuduess
and affection with which she and her
royal consort, Ferdinand, received and
protected him when he fled from Rome
in 1848 ; one to the Empress Eugenie,
and one to Elizabeth, Empress ot Aus
tria. It was said of Minnie Sherman (now
Mrs. Pitch) that tliu declined to dance
with Queen Victoria's sou. Tho sub.
Ject was revived recently by the an
nouncement 01 llm coming marriage of
Mfss Nellie Cox (a great Washington
belle of a few jeais ngo), who was, In
reality, the ynung lady who declined the
honor of dancing with Pi luce Arthur.
Jt was in this wise Miss Cox's society
llffc wns attended by two unrelentiimlv
discreet maternal edicts. One was that
she should dance uo round dances with
gentlemen, and tho other that fjie
should not remain at entertainments
later than midnight. Accordingly,
When the young Prince nsked her fot a
round dar.co, i)ho declined, stating her
reason. The Pi luce was.oply the morn
eager for a dance with her, and asked
for .the first vacant square dance on' his
card of engagement,';, but it was so far
down on the list that she was obliged to
decliuu ngain, ai that dance would not
occur again till the " wee sma' hours."

Stroiis Uig Hen ot" California.
John W. Sutton, a MOer. lectured b.
foro the Manhattan Liberal Club, lust
evening, about California when In the
delirium of the gold f eyer. Among the
uucuuiu niiiiers about mm, bo said,
were " lilir Hen " and " Llttlo Dick."
mates. "l)lg lien" was tar abovu anv
man In the minim: reciun lu stature.
burly, and of wouderiul strength, hM
favorite pastime being bedding crow,
bars. "Llttlo Dick" was n cutloslty
for the ttalttart miners 011 account of
his stuallntB; ai.d u meaner soul was
never lu a man weighing eighty pounds,
"Little Dick" was uuarrelsoiut;. but
cowardly, mid "llig lien" had ,tp do
me nuiing lor mm. So, although In'
otfeiiMve and kindly naturally, "IIIp
Ueu " got the reputation pf a desperaiii).
In the mining boulders too heavy to
be handled by a few men were ofteu
encouutered, and vrheii they were the
proprietors 01 adjacent planus were In
vited to assist In reiuovlm: them, "llie
Ben" .was uever forgotten, aud he did
the work of half a dozen sturdy men.
But niter tho boulder haij. been moved
nearly far enough, ho commonly thrust
the crowbar well under the boulder,
and, presbiug his shoulder agalust tbe
crowbar, bent It nearly double. Final
ly Ihu Cook, tlit blacksmith, vowed
that he would weld n ciowbar that "Ulg
Ben" could not bend. Ho got up u
ponderous bar of cast steel from 'Fris
co, and welded It into a crowbar that,
sure enough, "Big Den" could not
bend. The latter remembered this, his
uibi uciem, to 111s aying moment. ,
There camo from the States, to reau
perato, the Doctor's wife nnd tiny
daughter, "Birdie." fcho becamn verv
fond of "Dig Pen," nnd he worshiped
ner. Auougn ne was paucing or orad.
ling, with a glimmer of the yellow
specks at tho bottom brightening, his
eyes, he would go when "Birdie" cald,
"Come, Ben, I want some flowers, or
pretty 3iones. por years afterward
the miners used to say, between tho
puns or their evening pipes, that "lHg
Henv never "weakened" but once. It
was in front of a saloon. "Little Dick"
was tho aggressor, and pistols aud
bowie-knives glentned. "Dlrdle" said,
"Corne, Ben, with mo." and catching
her up in his arms, "Big Ben" walked
away,
Tho mining camp was by tho side of
tho bed of n drled-up stream. Across
its high banks a elnnle fallen tree ex
t' nded j tho only connection between
the camp and the llowery slope beyond
the river. One afternoon, as suddenly
streams In that region, do return to
their beds, a mighty flood poured down
tho bed. The miners saw "Birdie"
gathering flowers on the opposite slope.
"Big Ben," returning with ."Little
Dick,." saw her peril, ne shouted,
"Dlc.lt, go across and get the child, and
I'll hold the bridge " ne put his craw,
bar Into a crevice beneath the tree and
braced his massive sholilders against It,
"Llttlo Dick" darted across the tree,
abou,t which the waters wpro rising fast,
snatched up "Birdie'' nnd ran ; and as
he darted across It nnd sprang to tho
shore, tho tree whirled down the cur
rent, and "Big Ben" fell prostrate.
Booily foam was on his lips. He had
ruptured a blood-vessel. "Birdie's"
mother wiped nway the foam, and look
ing up, "BlgBen" whispered, "I saved
'.Birdie,' and bent the bar," and died.
He had bent tho crowbar tlmr. .Tim
Cook had forged to overtax his strength.
That Banana Peel.
John Gonnerman waited a dav or
two longer, to have his decoration day.
ne was coming down Monroe avenue,
when he suddenly decorated tho side
walk. A lonesome-looking banana-
peel brought him down. Ho was only
three minutes passing a given point af
ter he had started to fall, and when he
hit the wall: he struck for all he was
worth. After untangling his feet from
his ears, and his ribs from Ills elbows,
he rose up In awful wrath and ruado
for the keeperof the nearest fruit-staud.
If there were no sellers of bananas tliero
would bo 110 bnnaha-neclsun the walks.
and m,en weighing two hundred pounds
wiiuiu not sit uown except, with grace
ful hesitation. John Gounerman call
ed the fiuiterer a hyena, a buzzard, a
Mexican, a uiicnigan avenue street-car.
and various other .vile names, ami
would. havo battered Ills head but for
the arrival of an ofllcer.
"All this fuss about. falling down
once poou i" sneered the Court.
" But it hurt like duuder." protested
toe prisoner.
" If you had been one the other s d6
or tlio street you wouldn't have fallen."
" 1 never links of dot nefore."uiused
Johntns ho rubbed his left ear.
" It's the plainest case in tho world.
ray man , If a .banana-ueel is on thu
east side of the street, and you taku the
west side, now aro you colnc to fall
down ?"
' Dot's vhat I doan't know any
morBu"
.' Well, sir, the banana Is an article
of coinmerce. It contains eighty-four
per cent, ot susar, nnd fifty or sixty
per cent, or something else,, and niu5t
bo protected. Thu banana has Just as
much, right In this country as you or
Joe Guss, or Sam,, Bowles, or myself.

an awful teacher, who gave her awful
lessons out of awful hooks. Every day
that she, was awful hungry, she ale
au awful .amount of food, so that sho
looked awful healthy. Her hat was
awful small, and her feet were awful,
large. She went to an nwful church,
nnd her minister wns. an awful preach
er. When she took nn awful walk, sho
cllaibed awful hills, nnd when she got
