tain to prove a strong feature in favor of
the enterprise. The object being so no

have a most generous patronage.

The Sunday School Lesson To-dav-
The Sunday school lesson to-day is
about Paul and Barnabas at Lystra,
where the people were going to worship
them. Some wicked Jews came to the
place from Antioch and Iconium. They
talked against Paul and persuaded the
people of Lystra to kill him. And they
did try. They struck him with big stones
until they thought they had killed him.
Then they dragged him outside of the city
and left him lying on the ground dead, as
they thought. But Paul was not dead,
only insensible. In a little while he re
covered his senses, and rose up, greatly
i to the joy of his friends, who stood around
him. He and Barnabas went on to
another city and preached.
Then they thought it was time to goback
home. So they set out on their return to
Antioch, in Syria, where they started
from. They went through the very cities
in which they had been treated so badly.
And in every place they met the Chris
tians, spoke”kindly to them, formed them
into churches, and ordained pastors over
I them. They then went to the sea coast,
j got on a ship and sailed for home. At last
I they got back home. Once more they are
| in Antioch, from which city they were
sent out by the church. The first thing
they did was to call a meeting of the
I church and tell all about where they had
■ been and what they had done.
The Scriptural verses are in Acts, xiv.,
19-28.
Motto Text —“Go ye therefore, and
teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Sfn, and of
the Holy Ghost.”
Topic—The Gospel for all nations.
'l'inie—A. D. 47 (N'mtt/i)—49. (Cony
beare and Jloicson)
Place—The cities in Asia Minor, An
tioch, Syria.
Circumstances of the Lesson—ln Lys
tra, Lycaonia, Paul and Barnabas
preached with success, until envious
Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and
instigated the populace to persecute the
missionaries. Paul was actually stoned
at Lystra, dragged outsfde of the city and
left apparently dead. But, even while
some of the new disciples stood around
him, he recovered, rose up and returned
to the city. He and Barnabas then went
on to Derbe, another city, where they
made converts. Then retracing their way,
they set out homeward and returned to
Antioch, in Syria, from which city they
had been sent forth.

Fight Among the Wharf Rats.
A number of negro loungers, who loaf
around the wharves along the river front
congregated near the foot of West Broad
[ street and got into an altercation about
some affair last night. After a general fight,
lasting some minutes, in which the whole
gang participated, some oije gave the cry
of “Police!” and the mob dispersed. In
the course of the melee one of the most
malicious of the rioters received a bad
cut in the shoulder and was disabled from
beating a retreat. He was taken to a
physician, where his wounds were given
attention.
An Excellent Showing.
The mortuary report of Dr. J.T. McFar
land. Health Officer, which we publish
for the week just closed, presents a re
markably good showing. There were only
eight deaths among the white people. It

case of malarial, and only one case of ty-
I phoid fever, Which is the only case that
has been reported during the’ last threif
' weeks. This is. certainly a very good
showing, and is an evidence 4hat 'Savan
\ nah is one of the healthiest cities in the
i country.

REMINISCENCES OF AN OCTOGE
NARIAN
Setting Type in Savannah Sixty-Six
I ear* Ago,
The following article apjieared in the
New York Star of the 10th inst. The
writer. Mr. G. R. Lillibridge, in a letter
to the Morning News, enclosing the arti
cle, says: “It is somewhat a coincidence
that the date of the Star I sent you bears
the same date that your Morning News
did last June, which you sent to me with
my -War Record.’ The editor ot the
Star is a particular friend of the
“Old Vets.’ No doubt there are some
few now living in Savannah that will
remember some of the incidents narrated.
It will lie interesting to brother typos. I
left your city in the spring of ’46, just
after my marriage to my second wife
(who is now sitting by my side). In
1843, ’44 and '45, I published the Sun in
Savannah:”
The following quaint reminiscences,
reaching back to men and events of more
than three score years ago, are contri
buted to the Star by an octogenarian
journalist who is one of the few surviv
ing veterans of the war of 1882:
••In the spring of 1817 vour correspon
dent, then fifteen years of age, was dulv
indentured as an apprentice to learn the
art of printing with the firm of Kappel,
( raw A- Co., publishers of the Museum and
Gazette, a daily morning paper, the office
of which was located on the Bay, near the
corner of Barnard street. Michael J. Kap
pel was the principal of the firm and C’osam
Emire Bartlet was employed as editor.
There were two other apprentices, Joseph
Withenbury and Joseph Taylor, both
of whom were cousins cf Mr. Kappel, and
were brought by him from Hartford, Conn.
Bartlet had a brother who was foreman in
the printing department, and the whole
concern were boarding at the northeast
corner of Broughton and Barnard streets,
in a genteel boarding house kept by Mrs.
Lydia Carson, a widow lady. I was happy
and industrious in my new’ employment,
and became infatuated with type setting,
and Mr. Kappel, observing my proficien
cy, became very partial toward me, and
ordered that I should be given occasional
job work to do, in which I displayed much
.skill. I felt proud of this partiality, al
though I felt distressed that it occasioned
considerable jealousy in the breasts of my
fellow apprentices, and made them un
social. Each of us boys had a route on
which to serve the papers to the subscrib
ers, and this was accomplished before
breakfast.
“There was a negro man, Ben, employed
to do the presswork and the dirty work
of the office, was forms, bring water, etc.
A large tub wash kept handy in which to
deposit the nasty, dirty water. This tub
Ben would take when full upon his head
and carry down the stairs and through
the reading-room and empty the contents
into the gutter on Bay street. At length
this tub became decayed from its filthy
contents. So one morning as usual, about
1(1 o’clock, when the reading-room was
generally full of mercantile gentlemen
poring over the numerous exchange news
papers that were filed for their accommo
dation, down the stairs came Ben, step
by step. Half-way down the bottom of
the tub burst inward and Ben was
deluged, as were several of the merchants
in the immediate vicinity of the sudden
shower. There stood Ben, with the staves
and hoops below his shoulders, exclaim
ing: ‘ Who’d eber tink dat tub was so
oleasdat? I’ze mos’ drownded sum ob
you gemmens, l’s ’fraid!’
“Down came several of the office hands,
and with towels and clean paper, did
what they could to .make reparation.
Poor Beu was in the habit of coming to
the office at 4 o’clock a. m. to work oft' the
ins.de form of the paper (having worked
oft'the outside form in the afternoon pre
viously ), the forms always being placed
on the press by the foreman. It so hap
pened that one morning the foreman left
the form leaning against the press. Ben
came at his usual hour, and lifted the
form to the bed of the press: but it was
upside down—that is, the face of the type
was on the bed. Ben proceeded with "his
work. The first sheet bothered his brain;
it did not look right to his untutored eyes.
‘What am de matter wid dat ink?’ 'He
ran another sheet. ‘Sumfin’s de matter,
for true.’ He kept on working off the
paper, until about twenty sheets were
spoiled, when the foreman remembered
that he had not put the form on the press.
Judge of his surprise when he returned
and saw how matters stood! The form
was lifted, the ink washed off, and it was
then replaced correctly on the press. ‘I
tort all de time sumfin was wrong,’ said
Ben. After that the foreman always fin
ished up his work before he left the” office
for his home.
“In the summer of 1819 the editor, Bart
let, took to himself a wife whose mother
was the largest woman in the Southern
States—so large that when President
Monroe arrived in Savannah and a build
ing was erected in Johnson square ex
pressly to give him a reception and ball,
to which this mother-in-law (Mrs. Mal
li ade) and family were invited, there was
not a carnage in the city into which her
corpulency could enter. At length, at a
livery establishment on West Broad
street, the proprietor would, for a consid
eration, remove enough of the rear portion
of one of his carriages to admit her lady
ship. So she appeared at the ball, ‘the
observed of all observers,’ and led off in
the first cotillion, with President Monroe
as her partner. Mr. Kappel was
absent this summer on a visit to
Hartford, Conn. As soon as he left the
city Bartlet took the three apprentices
away from Mrs. Carson’s boarding
house and transferred them to his own
domicile. This was undoubtedly done for
the purpose of feathering his own nest.
The three boys were compelled to eat at
the second table, and the leavings were
so stinted that the three boys were com
pelled to sell the old newspaper exchanges
to the grocery stores to buy loaves of
bread to appease their hunger. Besides,
their clothing was in a bad plight and
ragged; their shoe leather was so worn
that part of the time they were compelled
to economize by going barefooted in car
rying out the newspapers, to subscribers,
The citizens noticed, silently, our condi
tion. As for myself, I never made a com
plaint to my father, who lived on his
plantation six miles from Savannah, nor
to my uncle, a magistrate in the city, nor
to my cousins. We bore our misfortunes
‘with Christian fortitude and pious res
ignation !’
“ At length resignation ceased to be a
virtue with us, and we three held a con
sultation, with the result that I should
write a letter to Mr. Kappel and acquaint
him with the facts as above narrated.
This was signed by both the other boys,
and between the three we raised the
amount of 25 cents (the then postage on a
single letter between Savannah and Hart
ford), for which we had to go hungry
awhile for sacrifice of funds.
“In a couple of weeks after the posting
of the letter to Mr. Kappel, Bartlet came
up froinXhe reading room and requested
to bring to his residence a small parcel
which he placed in my hand. After wash
ing my hands and donning my ragged
Jiombazine coat I started oil the errand,
ujiconscious of what was to happen, even
after he bade me go up to the boys’ bed
room. He followed me up, and, "locking
the door, he drew forth a letter from his
pocket as he seated himself on one of the
cot bedsand remarked: ‘I have just re
ceived a letter from Mr. Kappel, in which
he states that he had received a letter
from you complaining of my treatment of
you. Now, tell me what you wrote in
that letter, without equivocating in the
least, for I have it all here.’
“I proceeded truthfully to relate the
contents of that letter, when he ordered
me to take off my coat. Obeying the
command, he drew forth a brand new
rawhide he had concealed from view.
‘Now it is mv turn, and I’ll teach you to
write letters!’
“That base wretch, with all the
strength he could master, belabored my
back and limbs until he was tired. I fell
fainting to the floor How long I lay
there I know not. Recovering he bade me
arise. I got upon my feet and he renewed
the attack. ‘l’ll make you ask for par
don ere I stop.’ Again I suffered until I
seized him by the arm and told him to
•stop or we should go together out of the
window to the ground below.. I had re
ceived at least above a hundred cuts from
that raw hide. The coward ceased. ‘Now
go to the office and tell Joseph Withen
bury to bring up a half dozen quills to the
house.’
“I obeyed the order. Joe was at his
case, setting type. ‘What’s up?’ said he.
•Bartlet wants you to bring halt a dozen
quills to the house, right away. He has
received a letter from your cousin, Kap
pel.’ Joe went immediately. He was the
oldest apprentice and was large for one of
his age, red haired and a ‘bully boy.’
“In twenty minutes Joe was back to the
office. I was seated at the head of the back
stairway that led to the yard. Joe came
to me and said that Bartlet ordered him
to go to the ‘boys’ room.’ ‘He followed
me with the rawhide and told me to pull
off my coat,’ said Joe. ‘I just seized hold
of hint and said I was able to put him out
of the window, and if he did not unlock
the door anil let me out immediately I
should defend myself at once—and he’did
so. The cussed sneak unlocked the door,
and here I am. undismayed.’
“Pretty soon after Bartlet came up from
the reading room with the rawhide in his
fist, and stepping up to the press behind
which Joseph Taylor was correcting
proof, said to him: ‘l’ll learn you to give
your signature to letters to Kappel, you
villain.’ He gave the boy about half a
dozen slight cuts, and then came to me
where I was seated and told me to go to
my work. His brother—the foreman—
came forward and told him that I was in
no condition to work, and told me that I
had better go up to the house and lie down

“Instead of going to my uncle and
making complaint against "the wretch, I
went to the ‘boys’ room,’ and laid my
lacerated limbs upon the cot. When one
of the Imys came up to call me to go to
dinner I was unable to go, and he brought
me a glass of water. Tha* night I had a
raging fever, and instead of taking off nn
clothing for the night as usual, I found it
an impossibility so'to do, as every gar
ment was adhering to my body and limbs
from the bloody lacerations made by
Bartlet with his rawhide. At sunrise in
the morning 1 arose, and had barely
strength enough to reach my uncle's
house, which was not more than the filth
of a mile distant. He sent at once for a
physician and a negro with « horse and
buggy to bring my father to the city.
When the doctor came my tortures were
renewed in the endeavor to detach the
clothing from my wounds. The shirt,
when spread out to view, after being re
moved from my quivering flesh, was more
of red than white.
“ ‘Save that garment just as it is; place
it carefully away,’ said the doctor: ‘it
will be damning evidence against the
wretch who committed this horrible act."
“My uncle issued a warrant for Bart
let’s arrest. He appeared and gaVe bonds
for his appearance when the trial should
come off. In a couple of weeks my fever
was broken up and I could leave my bed.
In the meantime Hon. Levi S. De Lyon,
an eminent lawyer, came forward and
graciously tendered his services to con
duct the” case before a court of three
magistrates, my uncle declining to act
as one of them. In a few days
after the case was called at my uncle’s
office, and the defendant made a misera
ble defense. Mr. De Lyon made a most
thrilling appeal to the three presiding
magistrates, holding aloft the bloody
shirt: ‘Look at this evidence of cruelty.
We don’t, in Georgia, use such vile cruelty
upon our negro criminals, and the law of
the State forbids the use of the rawhide
upon the white inhabitants. I, myself,
when an apprentice in a lawyer’s office,
was struck with a rawhide not a hun
dredth part as severely as this child has
suffered, and yet it was sufficient to can
cel my indentures, and on that occasion I
pleaded my own case.’ A brief consulta
tion of the magistrates ended with a ver
dict for the plain tiff, a fine of SI,OOO against
the defendant and the canceling of the in
dentures.
“A few days after, as I was walking on
the Bay. I met Mr. Kappel in company
with several gentlemen. He left them anil
approached me with extended hand, and
ein braced the opportunity to say: ‘When
I received your letter I wrote to Bartlet
at once to place my two cousinsand your
self back to Mrs. Carson’s boarding house,
and also to provide you all with a new
suit of clothes. lam very sorry for what
has happened, and also thus parting with
you. It you will, however, return
to the office, 1 will give you lib
eral wages.’ I thanked him kindly
for his complimentary offer, but I
could not, consistently, accept the posi
tion. Nor did I ever "seek to know what
became of Bartlet. Had I ever an oppor
tunity to meet the scoundrel after 1 had
grown to manhood, I certainly should
have felt myself justified in giving him a
chance to defend himself from an attack.
In a few weeks I received a call from a
Mr. Millin to work upon his paper, the
Darien Gazette, which I accepted, at a
salary of SSO per month.
“Now, in the eighty-third year of my
age, 1 carry the scars of that tremendous
rawhiding upon various parts of my body.

THE PROPOSED DRILL.
Some Matters Pertaining to it Explained
Editor Sunday Telegram: Many have
approached .me desiring information al
ready touched upon in my former letters.
For their satisfaction I will endeavor to
explain fully and clearly some matters
pertaining to the contemplated drill. In
the first place I am misunderstood in re
gard to the capital to be employed. While
we desire to have, nominally, a
capital of $25,000, yet, in reality,
we will find that a 10 per cent,
installment of that amount, or
$2,500 will be sufficient to give us a
good send off, and keep it moving until its
opening. We expect it theu to be self
sustaining at least, if not a source of
profit of from 10 to 25 per cent, to its
stockholders. Suppose the actual cost
of our drill will be 525,000, the exercises
last six days, and that we have an aver
age attendance of 20,000 people per day.
Os this number say only one-half or 10,000
of them visit the Fair Grounds each
day. This would make a total attendance
of 60j000 people for the six days. At the
admission price of fifty cents apiece this
would give us a net result from attend
ance of $30,000, besides which we will
ha ve the proceeds from the sale of privi
leges, which is worth from two to three
thousand dollars. The attendance figura
tively used is a small one. It is shown
in my first letter that Nashville’s
$10,000” show drew a crowd one day |of
20,000 people. We expect to have an affair
three or four times as large as theirs. As
for accommodations, our private houses
will all open their doors, as was the case
at Nashville, and ample quarters will
thus be offered. From all I can learn this
idea of a drill meets with general ap
proval. Its successful organization is now
an assured fact. The first meeting is
soon to be held, when its plans
of operation will be duly presented. We
hope each and every one will feel it their
duty, as citizens, to help forward the en
terprise. Let us be alive to our inter
ests, and not allow other cities, with half
the natural advantages that we possess,
to outstrip us in such matters. I leave
the affair, then, in the hands of our fellow
citizens, whom I hope will leave no stone
unturned to push it to ultimate success.

If disease has entered the system the
only way to drive it out is to purify and
enrich the blood. To this end, as is ac
knowledged by all medical men. nothing
is better adapted than iron. The fault
hitherto has been that iron could not be
so prepared as to be absolutely harmless
to the teeth. This difficulty has been
overcome by the Brown Chemical Compa
ny, of Baltimore, Md.< who offer their
Brown’s Iron Bitters as a faultless iron
preparation, a positive cure for dyspep
sia, kidney troubles, etc.
Simon Mitchell,
The well known clothier, whose progres
sive spirit is evidenced in his removal to
the commodious store, No. 159 Broughton
street, extends a cordial invitation
to the public to visit him and examine
his stock which he is now endeavoring to
close out at a sacrifice preparatory to an
enlargement of his establishment for the
fall. This is a rare opportunity for gents
to supply themselves with fashionable
clothing as well as furnishing goods, for
cash, profits just at this time being no
object. Mr. Mitchell has still a consider
able stock of summer goods on hand, the
quality of which and his well known
reiiutation needs no recommendation at
our hands.
Advice to Mothers.
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup
should always be used when children are
cutting teeth. It relieves the little suf
ferer at once; it produces natural, quiet
sleep by relieving’the child from pain, and
the little cherub awakes as -bright as a
button.’’ It is very pleasant to taste. It
soothes the child, softens the gunts. al
lays all pain, relieves wind, regulates
the bowels, and is the best known remedy
for diarrlm a, whether arising from teeth
ing or other causes, 25 cents a bottle.
FASHION WRINKLES.
Plain Hosiery—Summer Dresses—Child
rens- Slips—Monchoirs for the Neck.
Gay hosiery is no longer in favor.
Leather belts are worn with Jerseys.
Embroidered ecru batiste rolies will lie
much worn.
Valenciennes is the popular lace for
breakfast caps.
Printed mull muslin dresses are novel
ties lately brought out.
White glace or Surah silk is the correct
lining for printed mull muslin dresses.
Chicken-down yellow is announced as
a later tint of that shade than primrose.
Pleated blouse waists and long apron
overskirts bid fair to remain in high favor.
The favorite color for the dots and scal
loped edges of Swiss embroidery bands is
red.
. The stalks of flowers must be as visible
in all flower garnitures as the flowers and
leaves.
The newest Spanish lace is the Escurial,
with its figures outlined with heavy cord
or braid.
White Escurial lace parasol covers are
sold for carriage parasols of bright or
black silk.
«Vhite Danish kid gloves decorated
with lillies of the valley, are worn by
bridesmaids.
Bows and bouquets are more frequently
worn on one side of the throat than di
rectly in front.
Light mourning muslins have dots of
white on black grounds or black dots on
white grounds.
Shot or changeable silk parasols and
coaching umbrellas have light but thick
sticks of bamboo.
The loveliest shades of salmon, rose,
corn-blue and water green are seen in the
new China crapes.
White Swiss muslin dresses are trimmed
sometimes with bands of dotted embroid
ery in bright colors.
Lace collars, with a plastron attached,
which forms a kind of Moliere waistcoat
front, are much worn.
Gathered lace ruffles are the trimmings
used on mull muslin dresses, whether
white, tinted or printed.
Cockades of ribbon in two contrasting
colors, the ends of the loops cut into cox
combs,trim many bonnets.
Purple violets and barbes of Valen
ciennes lace trim the fine Milan straw
bonnets designed for elderly ladies.
Pretty capotes with straw crown and
brims composed of plaitings of lace will
be much worn as the season advances.
New flannel-suits for children are made
of eheviot flannels, garnet, blue, dark
green and gray being the favorite colors.
Small mantles of the same material as
the dress are newer than jackets with the
tailor-made suits that are still so popular.
The fish wife poke with the brim sharp
ly pointed just above the forehead, will be
the favorite shape for ladies with full
round faces.
The latest freak in linen . collars is to
have a narrow, rolled-over edge at the top
of the high band, and this edge is finely
embroidered.
Some of the collars with plastron waist
coat attachments are made ot lace and
velvet ribbon, the ribbon outlining the
Moliere front of
The new printed mull dresses have
white ground, on which are flower de
signs fine as hand painting by the best
artists in that line. •
The summer silks which come in large
plaids of brilliant blues and reds, are said
to sell more readily than any other in New
York for dress skirts.
The Mother Hubbard slip, without
sleeves, and low in the neck, worn over
an under waist, or guiinps, remains the
popular dress for little girls.
Narrow ribbons of two colors are much
used for trimming straw hats, ribbon
loops and ends forming large rosettes
having succeeded pompons.
The most fashionable stockings are of
black, strawberry or primrose, silk or
lisle, in monochrome; stripes and checks
being only second in popularity.
The greatest Parisian novelty in milli
nery is the use of gold and colored Paris
ian'braids and laces, together with tor
toise shell pins of all dimensions.
Silk gloves and mitts come with very
long wrists, and these are sometimes
shirred lengthwise with fine elastic cord,
and tilled at the top with lace or crepe
lisse.
Brocades with very large figures are
used for elegant mantles instead of the
Oriental cashmeres. They are lined with
light silks, and trimmed with lace chen
ille balls, and gilt and jet ornaments.
Tinted nun’s veilings in shades of pale
terra-cotta, crushed strawberry, raspber
ry, corn blue and ashes of r.ises will take
the place in a measure, of the cream and
white wools so popular for evening dress
es last summer.
New kercLiefs for the neck, with mou
choirs to correspond, are made of pale
yellow washing silk, embroidered in gay
est colors in designs of bees, humming
birds, roses and buds, and large butterflies
with brilliant colored wings.
Cockade bows are all the fashion. They
are made up of a number of loops an<s>
tapered ends of narrow velvet, satin or
faille ribbon, either monochrome of seve
ral colors, and are used for trimming
dresses, mantles and bonnets; flowers are
also arranged into large cockade-like
clusters for the bodice, coiffure and
bonnet trimming.
Colors are combined quite as much as
materials. The following are some of
the most harmonious combinations: Moss
green and red gold, yellow gold and
orange, garnet and aurora borealis red,
dregs-ot-wine red -and old blue, maroon
and old pink, prune and pale mauve, and
with all these shades of gray, which are
once more in great favor.
The cotton costumes and dresses, which
are now ready for the warm days, are
most attractive. The fact of their being
made of cotton goods ought to suggest
simplicity in construction and an absence
of decorative features, save those that are
warranted to wash, but on the contrary
these dresses are made most elaborately
and are lavishly trimmed. The idea of
either fabric of laces being laundried
never enters the mind of the modiste, and
indeed, there is no necessity that such a
thought should influence the designer of
these lovely robes, for with care one of
cotton satine or foulard can be actually
worn out without needing to be done up.
However, when to be worn by careless
persons, such a dress should be‘simply
made and trimmed with wash lace or
Hamburg.
Lucy Hooper writes from Pan's: “Worth
has, I hear, invented a new style of ball
dress, which he calls the Chamberlain, in
honor of the American beauty of that
name. It is not to be made up for any
body till she has worn her copy of it at the
earlier balls of the London season, with
the exception of one reproduction which
was sent to Russia to be worn at the
coronation of the Czar. It is all in white
and silver, and is said to be one of the
most charming of Worth’s many ex
quisite inventions for evening dress. ,
Apropos of Miss Chamberlain, I was re
cently presented to this famous American j
beauty, and found her a very lovely girl,
simple, natural and unaffected, and ap- ■
parently not in the least spoiled by the i
attention and adulation she has received i
ever since the Prince of Wales pronounced '
her to be ‘the prettiest young girl in
Europe.’ Tall and slender, with brilliant I
dark eyes, delicate features, and an ex
tremely’ graceful carriage, she is very
much in the same style as the Princess of
Wales, though there'is no actual personal
resemblance.”

It is humiliating to know that a nation

A traveler says the English are more

A Poor Young Man in Love with a Rich
Girl is Never a "Kicker.”
Chicago Cheek.
A young man was ushered into the
parlor, where sat his adored one. She was
gazing soulfuily into the fire, thinking of
hint, ho doubt, but not dreaming of his
presence. He tiptoed his approach, and
slyly seizing a straggled hair, which
coyly nestled in its blonde beauty on the
scruff of her rounded neck, gently
twitched it and waited for the sudden
start and maidenly blush, a pleased sur
prise. But not a start, not a surprise.
Again he drew' it toward him, and again
did the fair one continue to gaze thought
fully in the fire. “Dear girl, she
knows not of my presence,” he mur
mured to himself. "How glad she will be
to discover her Charles so close behind
j her! I will end this surprise;” and gent
i ly lifting an auburn curl from the sloping
: shoulder, he tweaked as only a fond lover
can tweak, and gentle reader, you may
beiieve us or not. but we hope to die if he
didn’t scalp her. The tvhole business
came off, and then she knew that Charles
was there. Shall we draw' a veil over the
dreadful picture. By no means. Charles
| knew’ that she wore false hair, and he
| knew’ that she knew’ that he knew it. Be
sides the girl was turning thirty and
j worth millions. Charles was poof, but
I madly in love. A poor young man, mad
: ly in love with a girl worth millions, is
never a “kicker.”

tion of 10 per cent. This, together with
my first special offer, will give you the
best bed spring for the least money.
Don’t miss the chance, as my prices are

winter that it is during" the summer. It
is suposed that the retardation depends
upon accumulations of ice at the overflow

accumulations diminish the section of the

HOW THEY DI N THE DUDES.
The Queer Quarantine of the Up Town
Cases.
Day before yesterday all Paris was
retiring over the American diary, just
published, of an opera bouffeprima donna
lately touring in the United States. But,
so far, none of the Parisian newspapers
have printed a strangely true tale of Mme.
Theo, and of a supper at which she was
the honored guest.
When that fascinating wife of a clever
Parisian tailor was in New York making
a minimum of voice earn a maximum ot
salary, she was much besieged by the du
dai element of our society. They pelted
her with flowers, to pay for which they
“pooled" their meagre allowances, they
sent her notes w hich hired correspondents
wrote for them, and they asked her to
suppers, for which the Hotel Brunswick
was, as usual, forced to involuntarily en
large its confidence in the human race.
Little 51 me. Theo used to accept every
thing with a charming smile. The bou
quets she never declined. The notes she
always handed to her husband, who in
dorsed on each the rough draft of a reply
for his secretary to indite, and the invita
tions to supper she either refused or ac
cepted as she was prompted by the same
conjugal adviser. It will, no doubt, pain
a good many young gentlemen ot the beau
monde to "learn that even the choice
French poulets of Mr. Robert Cutting
were invariably submitted to her husband
by Mme. Theo and that she never failed
to amuse that good humored little Paris
tailor with full particulars of w hat was
eaten, drunk, said or done at the suppers
to which her dudal admirers were rash
enough to invite her.
One of her late hosts is a very dude of
very dudes. He is ridiculously thin. His
legs certainly do not measure over seven
inches in the girth of their broadest parts.
When he patrols Fifth avenue he looks
like a pair of runaway callipers measur
ing the sidewalk for fun. His face looks
like that of a rubber doll. His high collar
has elongated his neck to the most sur
prising extreme. He has the expression
of a paralyzed jack-in-the-box. He could
stab one with his boot-toe and the brim of
his hat would make a respectable piazza
for a country house.
His gilt of borrow ing would make a Bo
hemian grow green with envy. As soon
as his name is mentioned in Delmonico’s
everybody in hearing takes out his pocket
book" and calculates the interest on one of
his 1.0. U’s. About the only thing that
spoils the appetite of Charles Delmonico
at the lettuce-salad-and-plain-dressing
stage of his dinner is an allusion to this
young prodigal. Philippe, the head wai
ter, grins deep down to the lowest button
of his waistcoat when he hears of him, and
the pale Swiss at the desk tremblingly
computes the aggregate of his bills every
time he passes tlie door without looking
in.
It was this dudeliest of the dudes who,
speaking French with unusual fluency,
was the last New York “society man” to
ask Mme. Theo to supper. The little
French woman referred his note, as usual,
to her little husband. Her little husband,
in the act of devising a costume for his
wife that should show’ enough of her to
the public to just miss inviting the atten
tion of the police, said ‘■'■Bien! But it is
safe, my cherished,” and little Mme.
Theo, her performance being over, got into
the carriage in which the swain was wait
ing and drove off to the “Dude Drop In,”
as they call the Brunswick nowadays.
There were six dudelings in the party
small, undeveloped dudes, who are to the
consummate of their kind what whitebait
are to fresh herring. These tender crea
tures —who should have been in bed, all
of them, by 10 o’clock —received her rap
turously. "A private room had been or
dered. With infinite cackling and smil
ing and good French and bad English the
procession streamed up stairs to it. At
the door Meyer, the Alsatian head waiter,
met them. In the shadow stood the high
shouldered, raspberry-visaged major-do
mo, whose business it is to see that no
waiter gets a larger fee than his own.
The dudes stumbled into the room.
Little Mme. Theo, taking mental notes for
the little tailor at home, took the seat of
honor. The sublimate dude, who is the
hero of the story, called for a menu and a
wine list.
There was a pause.
He called a trifle louder.
Another pause.
Little Mme. Theo went on with her
mental stenography at a redoubled pace
and all the dudelings grew silent, as
young geese do before a thunder storm.
Then the dude-en-chef raised his voice
and demanded an explanation.
It came in the form of three rectangular
pieces of paper. Meyer, the head waiter
who presented them", bowed with an ex
pression equally compounded of obse
quiousness and doubt. The master-domo
in the shade turned even redder than
usual. The chief dude waxed as purple
as a fox glove.
“When monsieur has been good enough
to pay these trifles,” whispered Meyer, in
very audible French, “it is possible that
monsieur’s commands for service of the
new will be repeated.”
A ghastly pallor overcome the dude-en
chef.
The little dudes wished, each in his
small soul, that they were miles aw ay. It
was all litile Mme. Theo could do to re
frain from asking for a pencil to actuallv
make a memorandum of this droll expe
rience.
Then the host rose sadly and slowly to
his feet and, winking to a dude of the sec
ond degree, went out into the corridor.
Then, one by one, with excuses in vile
English, all the other dudes followed him.
Little Mme. Theo did not see w hat hap
pened in the corridor, and the little tailor
—her confiding husband—will have to
trust to these columns for the facts.
The three precursory bills footed up
s2l 75. The dude, under pressure, yielded
altogether sl2 32. For the rest the dude
en-chef timorously proffered to Meyer as
a guarantee his gold-headed cane, which
Meyer, without so much as a grin in his
sleeve, accepted. The gold-headed cane
descended to the office. The major-domo,
wroth to perceive that not even a waiter
was to get anything, followed it. Meyer
furnished the menu and the wine list, and
little Madame Theo was regaled by the
jerkj’ reappearance of the five dudes, each
secretly wondering if his credit would be
forcible enough to sustain the faith of a
supplementary cabman.
When a World reporter inquired of the
major-domo of the "Dude Drop In" a few
particulars of this affair, that raspberry
visaged official denied at first that any
thing at all had ever happened there.
Pressed, adroitly, be confessed that such
things were constantly happening. Alter
cations, he said, between waiters of the
Brunswick and the electro-plated youths
who patronize it are so numerous and in
variably so energetic that he never both
ers himself to keep account of them.
“These things are frequent every where,”
said the major-domo, in good French, “but
there are none of them the business of the
newspapers. We are obliged every day to
remind young men in New York that to
have charged one dinner is not a suffi
cient recommendation to be allowed to
charge two. If the IPbrZd will pay the
bills of these young men we will be" only
too glad to give in exchange their histo
ries of the table.”
“Enormous as are the resources of the
World,” replied the reporter, “we are
hardly equal at such short notice to so
vast a demand. If we were to begin pay
ing you what you suffer in the way of bad
debt's we should undertake a task "worthy
of millionaires.”
“There are,” said Philippe, of Delmon
ico’s, “a go«d many patrons of the Bruns
wick, who, for reasons of their own, for
get to pay their bills. Perhaps it is the
fault of the head waiter that he is too
diffident. Perhaps, on the other hand, it
is the fault of the young patrons that they
are too poor. Here, we consider it un
gentlemanly to insiston a settlement every
time, and Mr. Delmonico has a patience
truly marvelous. Anybody can come
here and, after dining, "indorse his name
upon the bill. But, for the love of all the
saints, do not print this. If you do we
shall rob the Brunswick of "all its cus
tomers;”
For You,
Madam,
Whose Complexion betrays
some humiliating imperfec
tion, whose mirror tells you
that you are Tanned, Sallow
and disfigured in counte
nance, or have Eruptions,
Redness, Roughness or un
wholesome tints of Complex
ion, we say use Hagan’s Mag
nolia Ralm.
It is a delicate, harmless
and delightful article, pro
ducing the most natural and
entrancing tints, the artifici
ality of which no observer
can detect, and which soon
becomes permanent if the
Magnolia Balm is judiciously
used.

WOMAN.
Hope for Suffering Woman-•Some
thing’ New Under the Sun.
By reason of her peculiar relations, and her
peculiar ailments, woman has been compelled
to suffer, not only her own ills, but those aris
ing from the want of knowledge, or of con
sideration on the part of those with whom she
stands connected in the social organization.
The frequent ami distressing irregularities
peculiar to her sex have thus been aggravated
to a degree which no language can express.
In the mansions of the rich and the hovel of
the poor alike, woman lias been the patient
victim of ills unknown to man, and which
none but she could endure—and without a
remedy. But now the hour of her redemption
hascotiie. She need not suffer longer, when she
can find relief in Dr. J. Bradfield's Female
Regulator, “Woman’s Best Friend.” Prepared
