A DARKY DIALECT SKETCH.

of Pottsworth, of Arkanaaw.
Opie Read, of the Arkansatu Traveler ,
gote "'ell into negro nature in the following
sketch:
..\WII, Pottsworth.” said the Governor,
addressing an old negro whom he met in the
State house, yard, where the Traveler
humorist was enjoying a siesta at the time,
“I heard a pretty bad report about you the
ot -What’s de folks been sayin’ erbout me,
Wars Simon? ’Pears like da ain’t neber
ewine ter let de ole man erlone."
6 “1 beard that vou whipped your wife sev
eral nights ago.”
‘‘Say yer did heuh dat?”
“Yes.”
“Well, sah, I reckon it’s de trufe.”
■•You ought to be ashamed of such an out
rage ” *
• Hole, hole on, let us nrgy ’bout dat, Mars
Siinou. Ever’body dat’s erouaintod wid me
knows dat I’se or peaceable pusson. It’s
knovvd all obor de ’munitv dat I’ll stan’ ter
be trod on er good many times ’fo’ I’ll show
iuer bristles. Folks has trod on me, sah;
white and black has trod on mo, an’ den
seed mo git up smilin’ like er Christun; an’,
sah de thing got ter be so pop’ler dat inor
own wife—de wife o’ dis heah bosom (strik
ing his breast, thought dat she couldn’ ’lone
tor good s’ciety lossen she tried ber ban .
WeU. sah, she tried it, an’ fur er laung time
I didn't pay no ertention ter her, but arter
while I ’gunter feel sorter ’noyed. Hit me
wider wash-bo’d tuther day—split de bo’d,
an’ it cost er quarter—an’it hu’t me, sah, it
did, but I ’lowed ter merse’f dat I lietter not
pay no ’tention ter her. Shortly after dat
I come home one day sorter libely. I wa’n’t,
drunk but somehow she didn’t look at in dat
light. Wimin is cuis dat way. Doan know
whether yer hab noticed it er not, but it is
er fack. Whut yer reckon dat lady done,
Marse Simon?”
“Gave you a forcible piece of her mind, I
suppose.
“Hub, ef dat had been all I wouldn’t er
paid no ’tention ter hit. Tell yer whut she
done. She waited till I got ter sleep, den
tied me hard an’ fas’ in de bed. ’Bout de
time she got me tied good I woke up. ‘Look
yere, Flavy, whut yer doin’’ ‘Doan ’sturb
yerse’f bv tryin’ ter talk w’ile yer’s so sick,
fur I’sec’rfeered dat it mout hurt yer,’she
’plied. She went ter er bar’l dat set in de
cornder, tuck out de carpet rags and de set
tin’ hen, fixed do hen on her aigs in ernuder
cornder, an’ den ’gunter t’ar do bar'l to
pieces. ‘Whut yer ’stroym’ dat fine piece er
property fur, Flavy? 1 says I. She didu’ an
swer me er tall, but, tnkin’ up one o’ de
staves, she cum up to to der bed. ‘Ta kere,
ta kere,’ says I, fur I seed de lady’s plans.
‘Doan yer bit mo wid dat stave, fur ef yer

roun’ desc yore premises.’ ’Bout dat time
’kar-bim’ sne took me wid dat stave, an’, de
Law’d or, massy, I thought I wuz gwine ter

Flavy,’ I yelled, thinkin’ dat I’d hit her on
de stranth o’ de church, ‘let dis cup pass;’
ker-whack 1 ‘Oh, Sister Flavy, turn yer
bright min’ on de day o’ de penticos’.’ ”
“Did that cause her to desist?" the Gover
nor asked.
“Como ergin.”
“Did she stop?”
“Wall, sah, I kaint say dat she did till
she’d dun wore me bodaciously out. Oh, I
thought I was gwine ter melt right dar an’
run out on de no’, but I didn’t. She got
through finally an’ went away on er visit
ter some o’ de neighbors, leabin’ de door

suthin’. Lookin’ up de bes’ I could I seed
three sheep, two ole rams an’ er ole yo corn

“ ‘Good sheep,’ said I, ‘has yer come ter

Day afore yesterday, while I wuz gwine

“ ‘Whut yer doin’, Flavy?’ says I, wialk

“ ‘How is yer feelin’ dis ebening?’
“ ‘Well, I gins yer thanks.’
“ ‘Honey,’ says I, ‘de doctor tells mo dat

Social Pushers.
Iloeton fatter to the Providence Journal.
That the most humiliating feature of mod
em society is to be found in the artifices of
those who wish to “got on” in the fashiona
ble world has often enough been remarked;
yet there is still roqm for amazement at the
ingenuity of the devices to which snobs will
resort. VVo liavo had a good many weddings
recently in the neighborhood of boston, and
among other bridai of high social position
has been Miss X , whose family is rather
noted for its exclusiveness. When the invi
tations for the wedding were sent out Mrs.
A . a woman who is really devoured by
serial ambition, was not included in the list
of guests. She had met Mrs. X. and had
somewhat overstepped the strict proprieties
of etiquette in the manner in which she had
called upon that exclusive lady. Now, sho
was doubtless much chagrined at not re
ceiving a card for a wedding which was to
be a very lnrge one, but she was by no
tncans ready to abandon the field. On tho
day after the invitations wont out Mrs. A.
sent Miss X. u valuable and well-selected
Jiiece of plate as a wedding gift. Miss X.,
ui the privacy of a select circle of intimate
friends, declared that she would not have
fin' present. It was urged upon her that
she certainly could not return it.
“But 1 will not acknowledge it!” she de
clar'd angrily.
(i "Hut then, my dear,” her mother said,
‘you will lie putting yourself in the wrong,
i ou cannot be rude, and especially to a uo
bdy hk.> Mrs. A."
“1 don’t cure.u persisted the daughter, “I
will not iuvlte her anyway. This is my
wedding and I will have whom I please,
oho cun t buy an invitation with her trump
ery old pivsyit."
Hut, of eojrso, in tho end, Mrs. A. was
tnvjted. und the appeared at the wedding
with the air tf being the most intimate
friend of the family. It amused those who
knew the story,but Mrs. A. is clever enough
to make the fact that she was there tell for
a good deal in ter struggle up the social
height*. 1
A still more amazing trick was resorted
o uv a Boston lady this winter to get to a
reception where she wished to appear. She
wrote to the hostess, to whom she had never
even been presented, that she had a lady
high in Washington society staying with
her, and that it was so much the custom in
” as hington to attend receptions uninvited
that her friend had seen no impropriety in
telling some acquaintances that she would
meet them at this gathering. The note
went on to say that as hostess the writer
was put in so awkward a position that she
bad ventured to lay the case liefore the lady
giving the entertainment, hoping that she
would be willing to send cards to herself
and the stranger. On this occasion the
scheme was a failure. The note was an
swered merely by a formal regret that the
list of guests having been made up liefore
the receipt of Mrs. ’s note it was impos
sible to comply with her request. The lady
from Washington probably never knew of
the use made of her name. At least she did
not present herself at the reception.
And speaking of the Washington vice of
intruding upon social gatherings, which has
become so much of a scandal that it is
strange hostesses at the capital do not in
self-defense resort to the device of demand
ing cards at the door, a lady of that city
told me recently of her own experience.
“I sent out invitations,” she said, “to 800.
Anywhere but in Washington that would
have meant about GOO guests. I ordered
supper for 1,000. About 1,300 came. When
supper was served a mob precipitated itself
on the dining-room, and of course the unin
vited were first on hand. Not very long
after I went myself to see that the wife of
Senator Q., whom I especially wanted to be
polite to, had something to eat. The dining
room looked as if it had been sacked by a
famished army. 1 looked about and I said
to her: “Mrs. Q., there is a candle on that
table, if you are Russian enough to eat it;
and over there is half an orange.’ That is
positively all there was left, and the caterer
said I was fortunate that the mob did not
carry off the dishes and the furniture.
Party giving in Washington has come to
mere opening your house to a mob of people
you wouldn’t know for the world and for
my part lam sick of it. I shall gjve dinner
parties hereafter. That will take care of
the people I most care about and the rest
must go.”
Happily we have not come to this in Bos
ton but people do make frantic efforts to get
into the proper sets, resorting to tricks too
snobbish and mean to be endurable or, in
deed, believable, did not one know that they
exist.
A Tragedy In Five Chapters
From the Chicago Tribune.
I.
“Who was that in your box the other
night. Mollie?” asked a beautiful blonde be
ing, framed by nature to support the strug
gling milliners at the expense of the head
family first and some other man after, to a
brunette being of the same kind.
“O, that was Mr. Smith, of New York.
He’s awful handsome, isn’t he, Jqsie?”
He’s just splendid.”
“He’s of good family, too.”
“Introduce me, won’t you?”
“O, he’s poor.”
“Poor thing!”
“I’ll tell you what we’ll do. I’ll keep him
for the Santa Cruz trip and you can have
him for the springs.”

Extract from a letter from Augustus
Osar Smith, San Francisco, to his sister in
New York:
“You will be pleased, my dearest sis, to
know, that I am progressing finely in Cali
fornia. I have just met a most, charming
young lady, Miss Mjollie Blank, whose father
has devoted many years most successfully to
dollareulture. She is much struck with me,
and it seems to be quite genuine. She has
invited me so strongly to go to Santa Cruz
while her family is there that I trust to con
summate the matrimonial scheme very
shortly. I feel that I only need speak now
to be accpted. Congratulate me!”
111.
“How was he, MoUie!”
“Who?”
“Smith.”
“Smith? What Smith?”;
“Smith, of New York.”
“o,‘he was splendid. The first two weeks
we hand an elegant time.”
“Well, you remember your promise?”
“What about?”
“To give him to me.”
' “Certainly. You can have him. He’s
all right; very pleasant and agreeable until
he proposes to marry you. Then he’s no
good. Look out for him. He made eight
holes in the sand with his knees at Sanja
Cruz imploring me to become Mrs. Smith.”

Extract from a letter from A. C. Smith to
his sister:
“You will be pained to learn that I found
the MoUie Blank I told you about a little
fool. I couldn’t stand her after two weeks’
acquaintance. You would not have liked
her, I know. I have become smitten with
a true and noble little woman, Miss Josie
of that, coquet. She will make a lovely lit
tle wife—and sho is quite as wealthy. lam
happy this time, for I know she loves me.”

A Difference in Time.
From the Dakota Bell.
At the territorial firemen’s tournament at
Mitchell recently, just after one of the hose
carts races, a man who is in business in
one of the towns represented stepped up
to tho captain of his home company and
said:
“Jim, that was a good run you boys
made.”
“We fancy that it was somewhat rapid.”
“Your cart looked just like a long red
streak.”
“I presume so ”
“Must have gone the whole distance in
’bout forty seconds, I reckon!”
“Thirty-nino and a half is the official
time.”
“Hplendid time, Jim, splendid time.
Say, do you remeniher that little fire that
broke out in the back part of my store last
winter?”
“Why—why—y-e-s I believe so,”
“I thought mebbe you did. Started
’bout 2 o’clock in the morning, you recol
lect.”
“Oh, yes, I remember, yes. Very warm
weather we’re having, Mr. Wooler,"
“Yes; it was quite warm around that fire
too. M ust, have been ’bout the same distance
from your hose house to my store that you
ran to-day f
“Just about the same, I should judge. Ex
cuse me a moment, I’ve got to go over here
and see a man.”
“Hold on young fellow, I ain’t quite
through with J'ou yet. Perhap you may
remember how I worked from 2 o’clock till
8 next morning, carrying water in a pail,and
slinging ’round wet blankets, and jumping
up and down on the pump-handle! Remem
ber it!”
“They told me you did. I’ll see you—’
“No yon won’t—you’ll see me right now!
Then mebby you heard how the neighbors
come and helped and broke their backs car
rying water, and how my wife made her
self sirk lugging things out of tho store, nnd
how everything flnully burned up and tho
post office and hank came pretty near going
too! Perhaps, too, you may have personal
recollection of showing up with your cart at
about Bo’clock, after things werodnnesmok
ing! Hix hours goingthesaine distance you
hunqied along over in thirty-nine and a half
seconds to-day? Six hours running to a fire
and thirty-nyie and a half seconds running
to get across a streak of salt I Half a day
when my goods wore burning up and lew n
a minute when the grand stand is full of
folk*' Plenty o’ time to finish a poker game
when my budding was afire, but nothing
but get right down and hump when tho
judge hollers ‘go!’ Young man, we’l! nettle
ihis thing right here!" and tho indignant
citizen pulled off his coat and grabbl'd the
fireman and began to pound the surface of
tho earth with him, and then jump up and
down on him; uud it took two policemen to
pull him off.
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 1887.
WOES OP A PRETTY TYPE-WRITER.
Compelled to Stand a Battery of Piti
less Questions.
From the New York Tribune.
“I should like to give you an idea of how
we girls are treated wherever wo go to look
for boarding places in this city,” said a
young type-writer to a reporter the other
day. “You men can obtain board wliore
ever you please, and so long as you pay
your board bills and behave yourselves,
there are no questions asked; but with a girl
it is different. When I came to New York,
I was fresh from New England, unknown,
and without friends here to give me any
help or hints. Consequently I had to hunt
up a boarding-place for myself. After con
siderable looking around, I found a quiet
appearing house where the sign stated that
a hall room was vacant and that boarders
were wanted.
“In answer to my ring a kindly-looking
matron inquired my business. When I
told her that I was looking for a boarding
place, a visible change came over her
face.
“‘Who are you?'was her somewhat ab
rupt question. Then she scanned me as if I
were a suspected thief, for whose capture a
reward had been offered, and without •giv
ing me time to answer this pertimeut ques
tion, she continued:
“ 'Are you married?’
‘No, I am not,’ 1 said as pleasantly as my
mortification would allow.
“ ‘What do you expect to do for a living?’
washer next query.
“ ‘I am a type-writer.’
“‘A type-writer!’ This was said with a
sneer that might mean volumes.
“ ‘Have you a brother in the city or any
male frionil who will call on you?’
“ ‘No, my family all live in Connecti
cut.’
“ ‘Do you keep company with any young
maul’ Really I was beginning to lose all
patienbe, but I managed to say calmly; ‘I do
not, but w!)at has (bat to do with the ques
tion of my hiring a room and paying for it
in advance?’
“ ‘Have you got any references?’
“I don’t see why I submitted to so much
quizzing. That woman could beat a reporter
asking questions. ‘No,’ I replied, ‘but if you
want them, I suppose I could get them from
home in two or throe days.’
“‘Well, I guess we haven’t any room
now, and besides, I’d rather have gentle
men,’ was the worthy matron’s decision, as
she opened the front door only to shut >t
quickly behind me. I think I went to fully
a dozen places, only to be treated in tho
same way. At last I went to the Young
Woman’s Christian Association, where I
should have gone first. m I never was more
thankful in my life then when, after I had
been at work for a year and desired to
change my place, one of the girls in our of
fice invited me to share her room until I was
able to find another place. This may all
sound very funny to you, but it was not a
funny experience for me; and my experience
is by no means unusual. A man can get
rooms and board where he chooses, with
out references and without questions, but
when a girl trios to get board for herself, if
she is well-dressed, her character is doubt
ed, and there is ‘no room' for her; people
wonder where she gets her money. If she
is poorly dressed, she is naturally not want
ed, because she will lower the reputation of
the house. She must, in all self-defence,
marry or at least become engaged, if she
have no male relative under whose protec
tion she is. It does seem as if something
might be done for poor girls who come to
the city in this way. There ought to be
somebody willing to take them and care for
them respectably and economically, and do
this without sacrificing the self-respect of
the girl.”
A Girl Claims to Have Been Cured by
Faith.
From the New York Tribune.
No little interest has been aroused in tho
village of Northport, L. 1., by what is said
to be a veritable and vvoll-autenticated
faith cure Carrie Webb, of Brooklyn, who
has been for years a regular attendant at the
Hanson Place Baptist Church in Brooklyn,
and a teacher in its Sunday school, has
been for years a sufferer from physical
weakness, and recently her mental faculties
becajne impaired from that cause. Many
physicians were consulted and prescribed
for the sufferer, but their efforts were with
out avail. A few weeks ago Miss Webb
went to Northport, L. 1., on a visit to her
brother, the Rev. Thomas M. Webb, pastor
of the Baptist church in that village. Her
condition was the cause of much anxiety to
her parents, who feared she would lose her
mind entirely. A few Sundays ago Miss
Webb, while in a class at the Sunday school
attached to her brother’s church, read that
portion of tho epistle of St. James which
reads: “Is any sick among you, let him
call upon the elders of the church and
let them pray over him, anointing him with
oil in tho name of the Lord, and the prayer
of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord
shall raise him up.” At the request of Miss
Webb, who had become deeply impressed
with the scripture passage, tier brother
called a special prayer service in her be
half. The service was held in tho parsonage,
the Rev. -G. H. Cleveland, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, and his wife together
with several deacons joining tho Webbs.
After several prayers had been offered, the
Rev. Mr. Webb anointed her head. Miss
Webb says that immediately she became
healed both in body and mind. Her state
ment is corroborated by her friends. This
is said to be the third instance of healing by
prayer, faith and ahointing, in which Mr.
Webb lias taken part.

fine Millinery cheaper than any retail store in New York, llow
can we do it? Cannot tell. This is our secret and our suc

We are now ready for business, and our previous large
