Atlantic City Taken in by a Columbusito

Atlantic City, July 21.-1 am not “i
tint vein” for writing a Bonsbore letter, but
1 feel like fulfilling my promise, mid at my
time of Hit), which as you know is long past
the seventies, 1 am apprehensive that if I
•wait for the divine afnatus, 1 may wait a
day too late and have graver matters to
attend to. Do you see the pun in that? It
you don’t my eorruscationsof wit will have
io perish by the way, for it would never <io
to resuscitate them with an explanation.
1 would rather attribute the lack of com
prehension to the dullness of your readers
than to confess to a want of point in my
metaphor. But enough of this. I want to
tell you something about Atlantic; City re
deemed by enterprise from a sifting
sea sand until it has become
tiie watering place of the Jersey
shore. Its permanent population-
just here the carrier brought me the Co
lumbus Enquirer of Saturday, 17th. I
seized it, turned with avidity to’tlie locals,
of course, for I always want to know what
is going on at home; and the first thing
that met my astonished gaze was that “the
baby stare,” a Chicago invention, had at
tacked the young ladies of Columbus. Fur
ther on you say; “Thgy open the eyes to
their full capacity and stare at the unfortu
nate young man who happens to sit oppo
site to the young indy in the streetcar,”
<fcc. In the name of all that
is curious, what does the para
graph mean? Whose eyes do t lie young
ladies’ open to their full capacity? Their
eyes or the babies’ eyes? What has the
young man done who sits opposite that
“he should wilt and seek the seclusion of
■tiie platform?” What is it? is it a disease,
or is it a fashion? is it endemic, epidemic,
infectious, contagious or sporadic? Are
there any premonitory symptoms? or does
it come just so? We have nothing of Unit
kind here. There is no scare in any of these
seashore damsels. They have, however,
some of the symptoms. They do open
(heir eyes wide in the street ears and stare
at tin; young man opposite, but lie never
wilts—not a bit of it; tie stares back, and
the next thing you know they are both on
the same seat and afterwards as thick us
“the leaves of Valambrosa,’’ and may lie
seen on the beach splashing about and
diving in the surf like dolphins, or sprawl
ing about in the sand like spread eagles
and cooing like turtle doves. But 1 am
ahead of the music. I was writing about
tiie permanent population of this place,
when I received your mystical paragraph
which certainly requires more explanation
than my pun does, for at present it is
perfectly incomprehensible to me, unless
there is a typographical error somewhere.
Please explain, and in the meantime i
will resume where I digressed and say
tiie pevinanet population of Atlantic
City is about ten thousand.
{Saturday afternoons and Sundays empty
from ihe constantly running t rams of the
Pennsylvania Central and the West Jer
sey from fin,OIK) I o IK),000 persons. These
added to those who come here for from
one week to the whole season, which lasts
from the middle of June to the middle of
September, makes at times a population,
close upon 100,000, 00,000 of whom, like
John Gilpin, are “on pleasure bent,” but,
alas, unlike him, no one of them has a “fru
gal mind.” The 00,000 are the honey in tiie
flower, and the 10,000 are the bees that are
gathering it. 1 don’t think 1 reach the
maximum when I say there are from S00
to 1000 hotels and cottages, where strangers
are taken in and done for. There are
stores before which the Bee Hive and
Blanchard & Bootli and Gray’s emporiums
would sink into insignificance. There are
street cars and stages which will carry you
anywhere for five, or six cents. There are
excursion grounds with everything from a
“merry go round” to an inclined railroad,
elevated about twenty-live feet in the air,
which goes so swiftly that the lads and the
lasses incontinently hug each other. The
girls get seared and the young men lend
them a protecting arm, hut there is never
any of “your Chicago invention” seen on
that tram of cars. Our old friend Noah
eouid walk these streets without an um
brella in the hardest shower that fell
during the forty days, and not even
wet iiis eyelashes with a rain drop. Xu
matter when or where the shower caught
him, he could step into a hotel or cottage
and be us dry as a powder horn.
This is the only place that I have ever been
in where the Lord didu’tlhavc a day, but
there’s no Lord’s day here. Sunday is the
gayest day in the week. They have some
churches here but if it wasn’t for tiie old
fossils like myself churches would he as
empty as a contribution box in cholera
time. If Sam Jones wants a field for
Work, this is the sore spot that he should
touch. If he wou'd stay here a wee :
and let me guide his footsteps, be
fore he went 'away he’d think,
dancing a holy pastime, whisky a nectar
for the gods, and I am very much mistaken
If he would not come to tiie conclusion
that surf bathing mot carried to excess of
course) was a healthful and invigorating
exercise. I expect to leave here m a few
days, but if there was a probability of the
Georgia evangelist coming here I think I
would stay a week longer, if only to see
him make footprints on the sands of the
seashore. The scenes enacted there, if
not altogether congenial to his tastes,
would at least be novel and interesting
and if they wou.d not serve to “point a
moral or adorn a tale,” they would furnish
him with illustrations of how his Satanic
majesty does his work, much stronger
ones than any that can he found in the bar,
the ball-room or at such places as young
men resort to, who are fond of short cards,
seeing the animals and “lighting the
tiger.” This is surely good evangelical
ground, and if my talent run that way 1
could turn many an honest penny, but
here I am again at the end of my
letter, anil I haven’t got to the
board walk yet, hut like the serial stories in
the magazines, which are continued from
time to time, the readers bear with what
they get in the hope that something better
may he forthcoming in the yet unpublish
ed chapters which will compensate them
for time lost in reading those already
printed; so with my letters. 1 may get to
the board walk yet. In the meantime bear
patiently the infliction of yours, M.

A trial now in progress at Erie, Kansas,
shows the intimate connection between
dime novels and crime. One morning,
Willie Sells, a sixteen-year-old boy, went
tv a neighbor’s house and excitedly stated
that a strange man had broken into his
home and killed his father. The neigh
bors went to the house, and saw a horrible
spendable. The newspaper account says:
Upon hearing this story Mr. Meiidall ac
companied Willie home. When they ar
rived the boy remained outside. Mr. Men-
dall entered, procured a light,and was con
fronted with the most horrible spectacle
that can be imagined. The floor was cov
ered with blood, in which he fairly hail to
Wade. The ceiling was spattered and the
walls stained. The old man Sells was ly
ing on the floor with the whole back part
of his head crashed in, and his throat cut
so deep that his head was almost severed
from his body. Near him, also on the
floor, was the body of Mrs. Sells, with her
skull crushed and her throat cut in the
same manner. A few feet away, in a bed
in a corner, lay the body of Miss Ina Sells
.with her skull crushed and her throat cut
iro n ear to ear, and in the adjoining room
m the same lied in which Willie had been
-.lceping was the body of Wattle Sells, with
large gash in ins forehead, one of ids
yes chopped out and his throat cut simi-
w to the others.

A correspondent writes us from Seale as
follows;
“The crack Gun club of Seale, Ala., after
being so badly beaten by the Oswichee
club this week, disbanded yesterday,
leaving in the depot here four barrels com
position balls and one new trap, which the
agent had to sell for charges to the newly
organized club. The new club will shoot
the composition balls every Saturday even
ing at 4 o’clock. All are invited to be
present, and shoot if they feel so disposed,
as none will he ruled out on account of not
being one of the initiated. The new club
have a few good guns for sale, bought
from the old club. The members of the
old club are requested to report to tlie
treasurer as early as possible with their
first bale of cotton to pay their present in
debtedness.
WHY THEY MARRIED.
Reasons Given Iiy a Number of llenediets in n
Florida Town.
Jacksonville Herald.
We recently sent out postal cards to the
married men of a small town in South
Florida with the inquiry, “Why did you
marry ?” We give a few of the responses:
“ That’s what I’ve been try mg for eleven
years to find out.. I’.”
“ Married to get even with her mother,
but never have. W.”
“ Because 1 was too lazy to work.
I. V.”
“Because Sarah told me that five other
young men had proposed to her. C.”
“The old man thought eight years’
courting was almost long enough. B.”
“1 was lonesome and melancholy, and
wanted some one to make me lively. N.
B.—She makes me very lively. D.”
“1 was tired of buying ice-cream and
candies and going to theatres and church,
anil wanted a rest. Have saved money.
“J. C.”
“Pease don’t stir me up. J.”
“Because 1 thought she was one among
a thousand; now I sometimes think she is
a thousand among one. E.”
“I think it was because I was cross-eyed;
now I am afflicted with two pairs of cross-
eves daily. Peter.”
“Because I did not have the experience
1 have now. G.”
“I thought it would be cheaper than a
breach-of-promise suit. A. C.”
“That's the same fool question that my
friends and neighliorsnsk me. C. H."
“Because 1 had more money than I knew
what to do with. Now 1 have more to do
than I have money with. B. D.”
“I wanted a companion of the opposite

The flckleness of a woman has been illus- !
trated in Florida. A Jacksonville woman
wont home the other day and found a
strange baby lying on her bed. She was I
about to turn it over to the police as a waif
when it woke up, and she fell in love with j
its eyes. Just then another woman ap
peared and claimed the baby, saying she
had intened leaving it with a friend, but
had made a mistake- in tho house. The
foster-mother refused to give up the child, j
and the question of its owership is still un- ,
settled.—New York Commercial Adver
