Bread riota in Madrid and otber dpanisb oities have an ominous signifl- eanee to the New Tork Mail and Ex¬ press. They m.ean that too many ot Spain's breadwinners bavo been taken away from Iha farms and sent away to flght hopelesa battles in remote and rebellions oolonies.

It was out in Kansas tbat a man ra¬ aently tiekled former Senator Ingalls en the back of tbs neck, relates tbe New Tork Telegram. In any ulbor State than Kansas snob an act prob¬ ably would have been considered fa¬ miliar rather than eccentric. A Kan¬ saa Probate Court jnry camo to tbe oonolnaion tbat it was even worse than eccentric, tor the members adjudged tka Senatorial tickler to be insane.
An astonishing state of affairs exists In tbe grain trade at Baltimore, says Ihe Maw Tork Mail and Express. Tbe elevators ara fall to oyerflowing, large quantities of corn bave been kept in cars so long that it bas spoiled, and therd 'are not' nearly enough Tes- aala available to carry tho grain to Europe. Tbis nnbusiness-like condi¬ tion is doe to tbe folly ot sending mora grain to Baltimore than ber fa- eilitiei eonld aocommodate, and it baa tanght a leaisou that will not soon ba forgotten. Moreorer, it hat served to illustrate how largely American commerce depends npon foreign res- sala for carrying service, and it sharp¬ ly eraphaaisaa the neeeasity for au im¬ mediate rehabilitation of onr merobsnl maiine.

THE MAN FROM HIGH HAT.
'^  n ^BEX    the     train ^ Y A   reached  tbe snp- !c  \/\f      per stop tbat Msy '"*" evening   it   con¬
tained three otthe most disgusted, bored, and ill- tempered mon that everoooiipled a sleeper between Grand Juaclioh and Denver. Pot six hours we bAd traveled at no more thsn a snail's pace from the plains to the foothills, from the foothills to tbe menntains. We had swapped yarns, exchanged cigars, read papers, dog eared onr novels, snd, in faot, done everything that it is possible to do in the smok¬ ing compartment of sleeping csr, save play whist. Wc had tried to play whist OS no Ibree men had ever tried before. We bad attempted tbe game for nearly an honr with a dummy and bad given np in disgnst. We had begged the conduotor to take a hand, witb no soocess. We had even at¬ tempted to bril>e the porter. Tben we had sat disconsolate and eyed tbe table and the idle decks with murder in our hearts. At each stop we had looked anxiously for a new passenger, bnt none appeared. It really looked as Ihough we threo were Ihe only peo¬ ple who would ever inhabit a sleeper ou tbe Denver & Wyoming.
Consequently when, afler having eaten onr miserable dinners at High Hat, we oosembled again in the smok¬ ing room ot tbs "La Junta," our joy was beyond concealment at tbe sight of a valise and a light overcoat on the seat. Before we bad time to oongrat- ulalo one another on tbe brightened prospect tbe owner ot the bag ap¬ peared. But as soon as my eyes rested on bim my heart sank; be didn't look as it be had ever seen a card in his life. Tall, with a sallow complexion aod hnndsomo features, tbere was an iinmistakablo atmos¬ phere of Ihc coajitry about him. His clothes were neat and of good mater¬ ial, bat spoilt in ths making. His hair was in need ot cutting, and bis mnstacbe was ragged to tho point ot aoarobism.
Ho nod.led to ns and sank into the corner. A rapid look ol disappoint¬ ment passed from Ihe wealthy flour msunfacturer from St. Paul to tba bat druuipivr from I'hHadelphia, and from the latter to mo. KuL notbing was said. It wat tbo flour man wbo broko the silence.
"Here's another train beld up in Kansas. It doea seem that it is almost time for sucb things to sta|>. Now hern's a whole train losd ot people re¬ lieved ot tbeir money witbia tbreo miles of a town, and no sign ot the robbers to be fonnd. Over forty pas¬ sengers on Ibo Irain, not counting tho train crew, and not a blamed one ot them dared fire a shot!"
The newcomer took bis cigar from his mouth.
"I'll venture tbat there wasn't a man on tbe train, outside of tho Iruiu men, witb a gun."
"Nonsense," replied ihe floor man, "thero was a dozen Ruai ia tbo lol, I'll bet a bat!"
"I'd bo willing to tako yo ir bet it there was any way ot proving it," foid the mtu frum High Hot, "reojilo don't carry revolvers traveling Ihe way tbey used to; or, if tbey do, they keep Ihem in tbeir grips. Now bcro nro four of us hero, all luen, 1 guess, who bftve bcou aroun.I ooiinlry n bit snd ought to know bettor, and I don't suppose there's   a gnn in llie crow.lV"
Tbo flonr man looked at uie. I shook my head ; tbo flour raau sboo'K bis; Ibu bat druuimcr did likewist-.
"I thought so," naid tbe man from High Hat. Tho floor mau opi'iicd bis mouth to reply, but thought better of it and subsi.led again behind bis pa¬ per. The uew paotenger started his second cigar. When il was well go- iug he no.ldeil bis bead at tbe lUo csrd table.
"B.'en iilaying card«?"
"Been trying to," said I.
"Pon't want lo try agaiu, I sup¬ pose ?"
"What .Io you plav'/" Tbe flour man aul the bat drummer jiimpel from liebin.l tlieir i aiicri>.
"Will, 8iv,;u up?" Tbe flonr msn au.l tbo bat .Inioimer iliMippearcl ngain. -^"Nap, l.cziiiue, cncbre, ca- siuo." Tbe flour man ,jrnnted. "Dom IVdro, poker." Ihe flour man laid down bia paper.
".\lv frien.l, " be n.-kel, "do yon play wbii-t?"
"Well, yes, I have playe.l 11."
Tbree minutes later tbe card-, were dealt. Tho d.)|)V man and tho luau from High Hut were partnera. I could ree liy tbe foriuer'a (ace Ihat he di.iu'l eiport much Irom his psrtner. Uot he was agreeably disappointed. At tbe eadoltbetbu.lbao.l tbe newcomer bad proved himrell aide to give poiott to ai-.y ot u', au.l I rather pri.lo my¬ self uu plaviog a (airly good game. Tbe porter came in !'.> light the gas and tbe game went on again, li was during tbe aoooud hand of the rubber that tbo loug whittle sonn.led and the bat .Irniumc-r a.-ke.l «bnt Ktation we were approaching.
"(.Villas," answereil tbe man Irom Hii(h Hat; "»e slop (.«r water ab.,at five mioBlef."
Uy iMtrlurr bekl tbe aianiug Irick, and wh«b tba laat card waa on tba bgai d tka acar* st««d fiat ta law.
'¦Well, gontlemeo, tbis decides it," said the man Irom High Hat, "and it no ons olijec't I'm going to open the car doer to let in a little air." Ho rose, stepped oat, and wa beard the rear door open. When he came bsc'< be threw away bis cigar with a de¬ termined air and cut (or tbo hat drum¬ mer. As the csrda wero dealt we (eit tbe train slow down to a slop, tod beard Ihe forward door bang as ths porter ond conductor went out to the platform.
I was gladdened when I took ttp my hana by the sight of (our high trnmpsi It woa tha flonr man's lead. I arranged toy hand Sad glanced oVer At bim; and then I let my nards fall t.b Ibe Uosrd. The floor man, witb a set (ace and twitching lips; was itariug at thc man (rom High Hat. Tbo drummer was still bindying his cards. I turned and (ollowed tbe flonr man's ga:^«.
What I saw seriously damago.l my composure. Tho man (rom High Bat sat (ar buck in bis sent and held bo¬ foro him two determined looking re¬ volvers. His hat was pushed to tbe back of bis bead, and ho was a differ¬ ent person, indeed, from tho countri¬ fied traveler who had joined us at tbe dinner stop, I beard tbe drtlmmet's cards alight softly on tbe board and knew that bCi toO; bad tit lengtU grAspiid the siluation. Tbere followed h moment's silence, during tvhich only (be sound bf voices far up tbe plat¬ form and the subdued "puff pufl" ol the engine were besrd. The bat drum¬ mer sighed nervonaly, nnd the mao from High Hat shifted a revolver in bis direction liko a flash. That broke tbe tension.
"Qontlemen," bo Eaid, at length, "tbis is rather an unpleasant situation, but much of Iho unpleasantness may be removed by obeying my instruc¬ tions to tbe letter and with alacrity. The gentleman on my left will empty bis packets on to tbe table; tbe next gentleman will kindly follow suit- there is no rcnigging in this game— and the gentleman on my right will do tho same. At once, pleaae I" The last words were spoken in a tone that sent onr hands to our several pookots simultaneously. When bis instrno- tions bad been obeyed, tboro rested on tbe table three pockelbooks, a heap of small silver, tbree watch03, and two silver match safes. Further orders led to the addition to tho collection of t*a immense diamond studs from the floilr man's shirt frout, threo rings, and a diamond pin from my searf.
"Now, gentlemen, if there are any tickets or papers of only personal value in thoco wallets which you desire to keep, yon can take thom."
"I should like to keep obout flfty of that currency," ventured tho bat drummer with u tremulous langb.
"1 am sorry that I cau't oocommo- date you," wns the unsmiling reply. "Now, sit perfectly still, gentlemen, nntil I om through."
He laid one pistol on his knee and used his right band to stow our be¬ longings iu his oost pookel. .K su'ldon recollection ot tbo electric call button by my elbow.must have shown in my oyes, (or tbe man from High (lot moved tbe muzzle ot a revolver a hair's breadth nearer Ibe lino ot my breast and remarked:
"It is quite useless ; thero it no ono elae in tho car. And now, gentlemen, aooept my apologies for what incon¬ venience I have put you to, and my thanks (or yonr pleosaut company and your ploasau^or gifta I need hardly point out to you that tbo moral to bo derived (rom this evening's adventure is: Never travel witbout a gun ! I ask you to remain quiel a moment longer." Tho sound of tbo engine wbistlo broke in on bis lost words-and tbo train began to move,
"Keep your seat?, gentlemen, or I shall not bo re!!pon.^ible for tbo con¬ sequences !" Tho man (rom High Hat backed to tho door, dropped ono pis¬ tol into a pocket, settled his hat firmly on bis head, buttoucd hia coot ami waited, eying us closely tbe while, and never letting tbo muzzlo ot tho re¬ maining gun move from our direction. Tbe train took on more speed; we beard the door cloee at tbo front ond of tbe car and listened to bear tbo footsteps of tbo conductor opproaob- ing. liut not so tho man (rom High Hal; with a quick "Good ai^bt, friends! " ho stepped oulbidb ot tbo door aul slammed it swiftly bobiud him. Wc eat motionless the fraction of a minute, during wbich wo beard biiu reach tbo car door and heard it bong Kharply otter bim. Then I leaped at tbo boll cor.l.
Wbeu tho train htorted on again, after ten minutes' fruitless delay, wo viewed sorrowfully tbo yellow valise and tho light ov.-rcoat. In tbo former reposed a solitary chunk of red sand¬ stone ; the ninrki't valuo of Ibo over¬ coat was Eomclblug under tbree dol¬ lars. Our investigations wero dia- turbe.l by the jiorter.

FASniOX    NOTES,
Skirts trimmed with bias folds of satin ore fashionable.
Tbo medium-sized sleeve is the one most fovored by fashion.
Velvet bodices will continne in fovor even dnriog Ihe summer.
l.ussian lilue will be tbo col-or of many of new spring gowns.
Batiste snd cotton foulards ore in bigh favor for novelty mouohoirs, and are exceedingly delicate, both in tex¬ ture ond oolor.
Ecrn linen kerchief.a, with stripes or checks of lavender, reseda green or old pink ore omong the smart combin¬ ations for general utility purposes.
Somo of the sheerest and dainties! of lawns come for lining Ibo summei orgondioB. This is a move iu thc right direction (rom on economical standpoint.
The minor accessories o( tho toilet ore demanding greot ottention, ond none is receiving mors thou tho hand¬ kerchiefs of '1)7, wbioh are daintily cxqaisite id design and  manufacture.
Handkerchiefs to match the gowu in oolor ore quite the proper thing, and for eveniug weor filmy bits of moussoline de soio, edged by several rallies of point d'eaprit, only oro cor¬ rect.
Bees delicately outlined form o pretty border on hondkerchiofs, aud npon eitber sido of them a narrow hemstitched band is sparsely embroid- ored with a larger growth of tho busy- bodies.
Embroideries ore either in contrael- ing shades or white. Ploid bordered ones at tho Maison Blanc were quitu chic. Deep purple and white oontrea, bordered by black duohcsse lace, aro the accepted styles tot moarniug uso.
Monograms aro done in oullino stitch, nud are frequently placed in tho centre ot tho handkerchief.^This is, however, a matter of fancy, but must always bo framed by a circle iu somo correspondingly ottrootive cm- broidery stitob.
A pretty novelty in bags for oporo glasses is a pouch witb tbo upper por¬ tion of delicately shaded satin and the lower formed ot tbo head ot somo small animal. A very dainly cfi"uct ia gotten from a sholl pink satin with a mink's head linish.
Colored b.indkercbiefs elnborotoly embroidered nro Ibo voguo. Birds and insects arc preferred to floral do- signs for decorative purposes. For ioetnnoe, a liue of swallows will ex¬ tend diagonally across tho centre of tbo handkerchief, or n swarm of but¬ terflies will adorn the four cornera,

Thero is a barber in Konsington wbo has trained a number o( common sparrows from tho street to fly iu and out ot his sbo.i at will, says tbo Philo- dolpbio Kecord. Tho birds ore never moleated by tho barber's customers, who have grown as (ond of tbem os tbo barber himself. Tbe sparrows simply own tbe shop whenever thoy want to, and they havo learned somo very amusing tricks under tbo tutelage of their friend.
Sometimes, when the room is prolty woll filled wilb the chirping Ultje fel¬ lows, the borber will moko o sweep with his hand and pretend to catch a fly. Immediately all tho birds will flutter over to him and perch upon his orms, shonlders or knees, ond watch the hand in wbich Ihe fly is supposed to bo imprisoned, 'iho barber opens his hand gradually,one Unger at 0 time, while tho birds sit wilh heads cooked to ouo side, cxpeotsntly waitiug for Ibc prize. It tbero thould happen to be a fly there, wbich is seldom tbo cose this weather, tber.; is a gran.l meh and a scramble of chirping rivals.
