[Special Correspondence^
In the Depth of the Adriondacks,
September IS.
Not at any of the fashionable hotels,
not where sad-faced invalids go up and
dreadful-looking coffins come down, but
in the very heart of the Adirondacks,
where one is healthfully tired at nine
o'elock and ready for the fray at seven,
•do I abide. The house is highly prized
though it cannot be called palatial. It
-consists of one large room, built of good
sturdy logs, having an enormous fireplace,
and the beds built into the wall like so
many shelves. When the owner goes up,he
takes the matresses and blankets and all
the belongings necessary for a mountain
outing, and.wlien he comes away he can
turn the key on the house certain that
there is nothing to steal, for the natives,
few and far between, are not likely to
want the bunk-like beds.
MOUNTAIN APPETITES AND EATING.
The eating is primitive, and so are the
appetites. To eat the fish, you have
caught or The game that you have shot is a
thousand times more delightful than the
best dinner that ever came from the mar
ket. There is one woman in the party
who knows how to make bread, and as
there is not the slightest danger of indi
gestion in this wonderful air, she has been
put to work, so that she wishes she had
never gone to cooking school; for we have
Maryland biscuits for breakfast, hot loaf
bread for dinner, and puffy turn-overs for
supper. Fishing is at once the delight
and work of the day. Everybody can fish
in a way, and everybody can't shoot,so the
■small fascinating voices of womankind
beg and plead to go fishing, and as usual,
the desire is granted to them.
.MOW THE ADIRONDACK GIRL DRESSES.
How does the Adirondack girl look?
Well, being an athlete, and having gone
up there to have a good time, she wears
first, a suit of flannels that covers her from
ankles to neck and down her arms as far
as her wrists; then the warmest of quilted
silk skirts; over this is a heavy flannel
gown, made quite short, for she assumes
boots and leggings, and over all a tight-
fitting sealskin jacket to keep her from
getting the intercostal rheumatism. Her
gloves are warm but loose-fitting, and her
•shoes are heelless and almost shapeless.
She wears a cap, and has in her pocket a
big silk handkerchief to tie over her ears,
in case they should get cold. Frivols do
not count; anything lace-trimmed is
.scorned; and she was the mistress of co-
quetry who brought with her a collection
of bright-colored silk kerchiefs that she
tied about her head when the fire was all
aglow and everybody sat around telling
wondrous stories of adventure with gun
and rod. I have concluded, after much
thought, that fishing is a good thing for
women. You watch your line bob and
bob, through the clear water you see the
fish dancing around the bait, and you
have got to keep quiet else you will loose
your chance of making the biggest catch
of the season. That’s what ail women
want, and sometimes it’s gotten by keep
ing quiet.
WHERE GOING TO BED IS A CEREMONY.
Going to bed is a ceremonial involving
much time. A beautiful curtain of red
•calico is swung across the room, and it is
requested that the gentlemen will please
sit with their backs to it. As they are
gentlemen, they do. Then comes the
getting into red flannel gowns, putting on
stockings to sleep in, and climbing into
bunks. Then the hostess, with shawls
over her gown, goes out and comes back
attended by the one maid bearing a tray
on which are numerous hot nightcaps that
have about them the aroma of masculinity
and come “with the compliments of the
gentlemen, ma’am.” Oh, they are not all
very strong—some are hot lemonade, one
is hot milk, and the rest are hot if some
what weak punches. Then the men can
go to bed. I have never seen just what
they sleep in, but I am under the impres
sion that they don’t change their clothes
until the next morning. We hear them
kicking their boots off, and sad as it may-
sound, we hear them sighing in the night.
If they wern’t such good fellows this
sighing, which has a prolonged whistling
sound, might be construed into something
less romantic.
A YOUNG MAN’S MOUNTAIN DREAM.
Occasionally there was a scare,but never
much of a one. One night a young man
fell out of an upper bunk because he was
dead tired, and got to dreaming'very hard,
and thought he was being pursued by a bear
who wanted to hug him. All the girls
rushed out in their red flannel nightgowns
■ to see what was the matter, and a pictur
esque group formed itself about the fire,
which a native tends all night, and the
curious ideas of this young man was dis
cussed by people muffled in shawls. They
thought how queer it was he should dream
lie was hugging a bear, until a few min
utes later on he was discovered hugging a
.girl who was radiant in a red night gown,
a seal skin coat, Turkish slippers over
her woollen stockings, and a general air
-of satisfaction and future punishment per
vading her. The chaperon marshalled
her forces, took the girls all back to their
bunks, but to save her soul she couldn’t
get the crowd quiet again that night. The
young man who had been hugged by a
bear insisted on singing "Love Will Find
the Way,” and the young woman to whom
the song was addressed would ’do nothing
but laugh while all the rest joined in the
chorus. They sympathized with her so.
LOVE IN A MOUNTAIN PARTY.
No mountain party is complete unless
somebody falls in love with somebody. It
adds zest to the fishing, and it makes it
possible for the young man, if he is re
fused, and wishes to do so, to shoot him
self on the spot, for there are plenty of
guns about. He has never been known to
do it, probably for this very reason; but
the girl knows about the guns, and she
cries so hard, and seeing the facility for
suicide, he concludes to live for her sake.
It's amusing, healthful and delightful—
for two weeks—this life up in the moun
tains, bnt at the end of that time you
want to come to home and civilization.
LONGINGS FOR THE TOWN.
One young man who has just arrived
lias set three girls to packing their trunks
by singing all the songs out of the “dleiTy
Monarch” and making them turn green
with envy because they didn’t know it.
They want to see Jansen, that angel boy—
naturally I mean an angel without wings;
they want to hear Wilson tell about being
a king with a capital K, and they want to
see the little pickaninnies dance. They
glare at the young man who has just come
when he says its the best thing he ever
saw in his life,and they set their teeth hard
as they resolve when they get back to New
York they will eat the dirt on the pave
ment, they will be so glad to see the town.
Still they will go home better, stronger
and healthier women, and they will have
learned how much beauty there is in life,
even if it is life far away from the mad
ding crowd, amid that great temple of
God, the forest. The mode of living may
seem a little odd at first, but when one
one thinks of a primitive camp-meeting,
it becomes quite civilized. I remember
hearing grandmother say that at a camp
meeting she once went to the girls all
slept in one tent and the young men in
another, and at night you couldn’t pass
between because ail the hands were out
and clasped—naturally in brotherly love.
SINGING ROUND A CAMP-FIRE.
Up here, in the clear, good, honest air,
men forget their after dinner stories, their
love for billiards, their desire to trot out
and sit with a lot of other men aione, but
everybody gathers around the fire, the
men smoke if they want to, if there is
anybody that can sing, and there always
is, a song is to the fore, and it is a song
which lias a chorus, and everybody joins
in it. Your voice may be situated in
your boots, or as fine and threadlike as
your golden hair, but neverless you come
in and do your best.
The other night everything went —they
sang “Annie Rooney,” they sang “Xeiiie
Blv,” they sang “Way Down upon the Su-
wane River,” and then a man, whose voice
is full and rich and clear,suddenly began to
sing the most beautiful thing that Cardi
nal Newman ever wrote, “Lead Kindly
Light,” and everbody came into the cho
rus in a quiet sort of a way, and the eyes
of one or two filled, with tears, and the
trees outside, as they rustled, made a won
derful aecompaniament' and there was a
quiet such as only comes when people feel
nearer to God, and more of kindness .and
consideration for each other.
MOUNTAIN SKYLARKING.
The next night was the night the youn
man from the city arrived; he had brought
a banjo with him, and, among other beau
tiful tunes, he made this request:
“Sing of lovers—sad or spoony,
Little Peach or Annie Rooney,
Ask me where I got my hat—
Got my hat -Got my hat,
But don’t say McGiuty, for I draw the line at
that.”
The banjo inspired the athletes; they
danced a clog dance, and then everybody
else danced, whether they knew how or
whether they didn’t. They waltzed, they
danced cotilions. they finished up with a
Virginia reel in a manner that was simply
wild, even the banjo joining in it and
taking the head of the line.
WHERE LIFE IS VERY REAL.
We are all going away tomorrow morn
ing—that dance was the last. We are go
ing to ride twenty miles on a stage-coach,
then all night on the train and part of
the next day. By the time we get to New
York, we will ail make engagements to
go and hear about the omniscient ostrich,
and we will have gotten back a little of
the stiffness that is the result of nearly
two thousand years of education to wo
men. But we won’t forget. And I have
an idea that when the springtime comes,
and the roses are all nodding “how do you
do,” and the orange blossoms are being
packed in white cotton to give their sweet
greetings to the bride to be, that there
will be one or two weddings that come
from a fellow finding out what a real girl
was the one with whom jie had waltzed
and paid compliments all of one winter,
and yet whose realness he only discovered
during that two weelfis in the mountains.
PAST, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.
Some things we will forget.
We will forget any disagreeable word or
act said or done.
We will forget the selfishness of other
people if there were any, and remember
our own.
We will forget the little discomforts, be
cause the big comforts were so great.
We’ll never forget, however, the young
man who was hugged by the bear, and
we’ll realize fully that he is chasing
around New York city to get a special
ring to suit the girl he hugged, and who
after next June he will have the ineffable
bliss of hugsing for the rest of his life.
But the men say that what they never
will forget is the night we sang “Lead
Kindly Light,” for it made them realize
that women were better than they thought,
that life held out more to them, and that
sweetness and goodness, after all, was
stronger than any other powers. So you
see the two weeks in the mountains taught
us all something. Don’t you wish you had
been in the party? Bab.
TY-TY NOTES.
Ty-Ty, September 19.—[Special.]—We
are having nice weather for gathering
crops, and the farmers seem to be making
good use of it. I never saw such a demand
for cotton pickers. Cotton has been badly
damaged by the recent rains. I don’t
think there will be more than two-thirds
of a crop gathered. The corn, sugar-cane
and potato crops are as good as I ever
saw.
Mrs. R. T. Ford has been very sick
with typhoid fever, but is slowly recover
ing. ,
A child of Mr. W. D. Brady’s, who has
been sick for a long while, is thought to
be better.
Mr. W. D. Brady had his barn struck by
lightning on last Sunday evening. It was
full of fodder and hay, but did not catch
fire. His horse was shut up in a stall un
derneath, but escaped unhurt. No damage
was done, except a hole was made through
the roof of the barn.
A few days ago Mr. Jas. Pitman, of our
town, purchased some bologna sausage,
which was eaten by the family and they
soon became very sick. Dr. J. H. Pickett
was called in and pronounced that they
were poisoned by the sausage. They all
soon got over it, however.
Politics are moving at a moderate pace.
It is rumored that Mr. VY. F. Ford, of our
town, is in the race agaiust Dr. Perry, the
Alliance nominee for Representative.
From the best information I have been
able to collect., our county is in favor of
Gov. Gordon for United States Senator.
Registration bjoks of our county closed
last week. 1 have not learned the number
of registered voters.
Believers in heredity will take comfort
from the publication of this fact: A
family by the name of Moore, living six
miies west of Columbus, Ind., has a pecu
liar and distinguishing family mark run
ning through three generations. At a re
union, held recently, it was learned that
out of twenty-seven persons, which repre
sented the three generations, nineteen had
six toes on each foot.
METROPOLITAN NOTES.
GOSSIP FBOM GOTHAM—PERSONAL AND
OTHERWISE.
New York, Sept. 18.—[Special Corres
pondence.]—A group of Baltimore men
were sitting on the piazza of the Southern
Society hall last week talking of the races,
of Baltimore,of New York and many other
things past and present. This piazza, by
the way, is one of the pleasantest of
lounging places on a hot night. It gives
upon the green of Trinity chapel church
yard, and any breeze, be it never so light,
that has strayed into the town, finds its
way here, and plays with some of the
spirit of its country freshness. Another
charm of the place is its possibility of ren
dering conversation audible or sotto voce
at the will of the speaker. This night we
refer to, the men who tilted chairs there
had no desire for scenery. They spoke
without seal as may be guessed, when it
is known that BenJMce, James Ringgold
and Charles Hanson were the principal
talkers. Mr. Price says that the Southern
Society is a more representative Baltimore
club than any similar institution in Balti
more itself. He is on his way to Gaines
ville, where a number of irons in the real
"tate way are heating for him. In the
last few years Mr. Price has broadened out
considerably, but his good-natured mag
nanimity and broad-mindedness have in
creased in proportion. Mr. Hanson told
some interesting stories of racing
in the South apropos of the first
heavy day at Sheepshead. He comes of
an old racing stock—the Hansons of Pa-
tapsco river, which was their large name,
and to judge by his lively stories, we of a
later generation, have lost much by being
born too late for the “gentlemen racers.”
Mr. and Mrs. Hariv Howard left on
Monday for their home in New Orleans.
They have had the good weather denied
to many of their fellow townsman who
postponed coming until the autumn rains
which we are now having in floods. Both
Mr. Howard and his wife have a large ac
quaintance in New York. Mrs. Howard
in particular having never lost touch with
the Couderts, the Thibauds and other
families of French descent as distinguished
as her own. A habit of all these delight
ful people is to return to the comfort of
their city homes nearly a month in ad
vance of the regular society re-entry, and
consequently the visit of the Howards
was well-timed. Early in the week alsi
Dr. and Mrs. Mandeville, of the Crescent
City, departed for home, ending their visit
simultaneously with the close of the Ori
ental Hotel at Manhattan Beach, which is
a favorite resort of the Doctor. He told
us that the past season had been unusually
successful, that, in fact, never had so
large a number of congenial people been
gathered at one time under its many-ga
bled roof.
* * *
While on the subject of the summer ho
tel—and as a last word for it is an account
ready to be closed—we may mention the
enormous success of Southern cooking at
the famous Northern places this summer.
One gentleman, a rather notable poiiti-
tician, too, says he made his board for the
past season by procuring a cook from Vir
ginia for a large hotel at Nyask. The
proprietor when he opened the piace ad
mitted his failure to make money the pre
ceding season, and attributed it to the bad
cookiug, whereupon our friend suggested
that he experiment with the Southern
cook. He did so with such good result
that when the politician came to leave the
hotel and asked for his bill, the hotel man
refused to take money from his benefac
tor. “You have saved me from ruin,” he
said, “and I’m glad enough to board you
gratis.”
Even by the wayfarer there is abundant
Southern food to be obtained. On nearly
every thoroughfare of the city you will
find a table set up on the curb and pro
vided with fried chicken, soft crabs and
hot corn, and presided over by a fat and
turbaned “aunty” from the South. On
Forty-first street and Seventh avenue,
where the Boulevard cars stop for trans
fer pas-engers, “Aunt Dibby” has had her
stand for many years. She says she never
sells less than two hundred ears of corn a
night, and ;as she is not asked to pay a
license her receipts must amount to some
thing handsome.
* * *
The fact that the season is a transitional
one, and that few New Yorkers are here
yet with their gala fall atrire, may ac
count for the ripple of admiration which
greeted the entrance of a lovely girl frem
Mobile, one of a box party at the Lyceum
theatre on Monday night. But really her
beauty gave sufficient reason for the afore
said ripple, and a certain oddity of cos
tume for the season kept attention on her.
She wore a boa of white ostrich, although
the night was oppressive, but it certainly
became her. She seemed to find a good
many acquaintances in tbe large audience
and bowed sweetly to them all. Mrs. De
Leon, of Charleston, Mr. and Mrs. Henry
W. Conner and Mrs. Dickinson, or New
Orleans,Mr. and Miss Gordon of Savannah,
nd Mr. W. W. Chisholm, of Mississippi,
were pointed out and named for our iet-
ter. The play, the “Maister of Woodbar-
row,” is one of the surprises, as it will be
one of the successes, of the theatrical
year. It is sweet and simple with enough
homely nature in it to leaveu certain con
ventional devices which we expected the
author of “Stageiaud” to avoid. The
Devonshire dialect which abounds iii lids
play is delightful to hear and can lie under
stood by ear more easily than by eye. The
part undertaken by Mr. Sothern suits
him better than any which he has success
fully played. lie is an actor of whom one
may confidently expect good work in ail
that he does,but in_the “Maister” he moves
to admiration by his picture of an honest-
hearted country boy. Never until now
has he manifested so much ability to
portray natural affection—the love of the
son for his mother, for his home, and the
scenes where his youth was spent, but the
power must always have been in him, and
we may thank Mr. Frohman for giving
him an opportunity to display it. More
than any other play we remember the
“Maister of Wood barrow” touches us like
the “Man o’ Airlie,” without being in the
least alike. It is a stronger, a more manly
play, and it has the unquestionable merit
of roundness, ending a> it should with a
last act which leaves nothing to be de
sired, while the “Man o’ Airiie’,” can be
said to have no end at all. The route laid
down for Mr. Sothern covers the South,
and we can congratulate our friends there
on the pleasure in store for them.

The guests who are confidently expected
year after year at the Continental Hotel
are beginning to arrive and scenes there
like home-coming are now to be wit
nessed. Mrs. Mallory, of Macon, Georgia,
who has been in the habit of spending
the month of September every year in
New York, tells us that she finds meeting
her old friends as well as new friends

of her life. The ladies call on each otrer ' " " " - --------
as soon as they arrive, and from the mo
ment of their re-union until their depar
ture for home again, they mingle a history
of events that have occured in their widely
separated homes with accounts of shop
ping in New York. At this time the
transient Southern people here form a
city within a city, of which the houses
are immense hotels. To a certain extent
they are thrown upon their own resources
for the resident Southerners soon adopt
the habits of born Gothamites and re
main out of town till October. But the
Southern visitors are fertile in resource
and they make up theater parties and ex
cursion parties, and shop and lunch to
gether as if they were—as they are—in a
world of their own. Whenever they re
main at home for an evening the parlors of j
the New York Hotel sound with fragments J
like: “In Savannah last May—,” “My
husband and I never enjoyed Charleston |
so much—,” and all sorts of home-like j
dissertative bits of talk. Mrs. Prud- I
homme, of New Orleans, is at the last- j
mentioned house; Miss Carey, of Mobile,
is at the Grand, and Mrs. Guenwall, of
Richmond, and Mrs. J. Thompson, of Sa
vannah, are at the Continentak Quite a
large party of Southern people desert'I
the New York lately for Cranston’s on the
Hudson. They included Miss Jackson
and Miss May Jackson, of New Orleans,
Miss Hall, of Baltimore, and Mr. and Mrs.
A. G. Rice, of South Carolina. At this
autumn house the gayety lias set in a pace,
evidently meant to discountenance, by
liveliness within dears, the mist and rain
outside. Steell & Livingston.
