A Jacksonville Insurance Agent Skips the Town with a Lot of Policy Money. Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 9.— For some time past rumors of rather an unpleasant nature have been going the rounds of the city regarding George E. Schnable, an in surance agent here. Schnable, it'appears, lias also been doing an insurance brokerage | business, and a number of people whom !he insured have received noti- I fications from the insurance cora | jinnies that their policies had been | cancelled on account of non-payment of j premiums, when they (the insured parties) I held reeeijits from Schnable, thereby show i ingthat he had misappropriated the money, j Efforts to find Schnable have been unsue ! cessful and yesterday his office ami fixtures I were attached by the Sheriff to satis y an I execution for $250, issued by the Circuit Court in behalf of A. Solary, a merchant of this city. THE NEW PRINCIPAL ACCEPTS. George p. Glenn, the newly-elected Prin cipal of ,the*Jacksonville grammar school, lias written the trustees of his acceptance of the position, and will leave Michigan for Jacksonville Sept. 24. AT WHITE SULPHUR. Tho Greenbrier (W. Va.) Springs— Gossip of the Piazza and Hall. Cron tin 1 Boston Herald. Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., Sept 2.—This place is so thoroughly distinctive that there is no lietter way of de scribing it than to call it “sui generis. It will always be pronouncedly Southern in its prevailing styles and practices, all.hongh since Charles Dudley Warner showed itsnch partiality in “Our Pilgrimage” it lias had better patronage from the East and West. Tiie newcomers, however, are, apparently, content to adapt themselves to those tradi tions and customs which are os old and unal terable as the jilace itself. In days gone by more than now the White Sulphur was a favorite rendezvous for Southern politicians, and the details of many a campaign, both State and National, have been discussed and arranged in the cosy lit tle cottages that dot the various hillsides, and are designated respectively as Virginia. North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama row. The hotel proper is lo cated in the centre of a perfect basin, the mountains towering on every side. The situation is absolutely faultless. The ex pansive grounds roll with billowy grace up to the very base of the hills, and the carpet of spring makes a sward of emerald green. Great trees stand in groups about the lawn, and grow so near one another that their limbs litterally interlock and makea wealth of shade even at midday. The enter tainment at the White Sulphur is as varied as can be found at any summer re sort in America. A man has opportunity to do anything which his taste may dictate. He can shut himself up with books in one of those small cottages and be guaranteed against interruption from one week’s end to another. He can devote himself to natural scenery and find all to delight his soul ex cept the boundless sea, and when he stands upon the misty mountain top, he can get even a semblance of the ocean’s blue on the indistinct border of the seemingly faultless landscape that stretches beyond his view. If on social pleasure bent, he can find com pany of any character and diversion of every kind. He can find men ready and able to talk with him on politics, science or religion. Ho can pass his time at anv sort of game, from lawn tennis to faro bank. And when we come to consider the White Sulphur as a VANTAGE GROUND FOR WOMEN, it is simply incomparable. There is less contentious rivalry, less mean jealousy, less unscrupulous gossip, and less disparaging comment among the women here than at any similar place I ever saw. All these at tractions for both sexes are attested by the great crowds that come here every year, and the attendance, from time immemorial, has been of the very best class of jieople. There is more beauty, chivalry, refinement and culture congregated at this place overy summer than can lie found elsewhere from Maine to California. There is an easy and comfortable accom modation for only about 1,200 people, but there is rarely a year when there are not at least 1,000 here from Aug. 10 to Aug. 20, which is the height of the season. The height of the season, it will lie observed, is short, and this is the only possible way of accounting for a strauge fact in the history of the place, viz., that it never pays. It has lost its owner’s money every year since the war, and on this account has frequently changed hands. In fact, its sale at auction lias come to to regurded as a sort of neces sary incident, which occurs almost with tho regularity and periodicity of each soason. It is now advertised to to sold at public out cry next month, and the general prediction is that it will not bring even its bonded debt. Nevertheless, nobody doubts but that the new purchaser will run it again next year, and thus on the spirit of experiment do the hubituos depend for the perjietuation of their fond resort. The regulations of society tore are entirely free from the characteristics of shoddy aristocracy. Everythimg is con ducted on the assumption that only well bred fieople are attracted to the White Sul phur. This inspires a cordiality and affa bility of intercourse truly delightful. If ever a man or woman depart from strictest propriety, the offender is quickly and uni versally discountenanced. Thus" ore men held up to the highest standard of true gentlemen, and the realm of womanhood is protected against unworthy intrusion. This season has been a particularly gay qne. The great crowd came a little earlier and is lingering later than usual. The com pany is made up of all ages, and one of the most beautiful sights of jfioasuro and merri ment is that which the ballroom presents every evening between 8 and 9 o’clock, when the children dance, and the parents and grandparents look on with pride. There is one “F. F. V.” here embracing four generations, and the noble old grand sire, in the majesty of his person, and the sacredness of his age. sits like a king in the midst of his household, wearing the snow fall of more than four score years for his crown. Something of an innovation has been in troduced this year with reference to the stylo of various entertainments. There is a p aging fashion for all things private. There are private gennans, PRIVATE LAWN PARTIES, private breakfasts, dinners aud suppers. These are all supremely swell, and make the special features of compliment this sea son. On all hands it is conceded that thus far the three most beautiful and recherche of these entertainments were a german given last week by F. W. Hunter, of Phila delphia, to Miss Ella Gordon, of Cincinnati: a supper given by 11. R. Harjier (one of the jutkor members of the publishing house) in compliment to Mis. Josejih Thoirmaon, of Atlanta, Ga., and a breakfast given by Alfred £>ully last, Friday morning, compli mentary to Mrs. John Iv. Connelly of Ashe ville, N. C., Mrs. John L. Morehead of Char lotte, N. C., Mrs. Thomas B. Branch of Au gusta, Ga., Mrs. William Graves of New York and Miss Josephine Lyons of Rich mond, Va. There were twelve couples in vited to the breakfast, especially distin guished Among whom were Hon. J. L. M. Curry (United States Minister to S|aiii) and wife, aud Hon. Emory Sjssir (United States Circuit Court Judge of Georgia) and wife. There are many very beautiful women here, and a goodly number of gallant men. There is a “Diver’s leap” on the mountain top, and a shady path that leads thereto. The moonlight silvers the liills by night, and the thrush sings low in the woods. The echo of uius!/' never dies, and the spirit of potty fills Uie air. If all thetie circum stances do not lead sweethearts into be trothals and fiunces to marriage, Cupid might as well unstring his bow aud fiing away his arrows.

DEATH OF A VETERAN ENGLISH PLAYWRIGHT. Revival of "Our Boys” at the Criterion New Plays—Critics Now Admit that Mrs. Potter Has Talent. Crum the Boston Herald. London, Aug. 24.—How many of the thousands who have laughed over “A Scrap of Bajier” know that the man who trans formed Sardou’s essentially French comedy of intrigue, “I*es Patios do Mouche,” into a brilliant English version was named Pal grave Simpson* The author of this ex cellent adaptation, and of various other less fortunate plays, has long been a conspicu ous figure in the artistic circles of London society, and he has just died at the rijie age of MO years, peacefully succumbing to nn illnoss against which he fought heroically; for, despite his great ago, he had no wish to quit this vale of tears, and he would prob ably have passed away some years ago had he not resolutely determined to live on. Though four score, I'algrave Simpson did not look much more than 00, and his swarthy complexion and dark eyes were matched to the last by jet-black hair and moustache; so that to altogether continued to realize the happy description once given of him as an “amiable brigand.” London is a great, a thoughtless and a forgetful city, and, moreover, at this season of the year many of the lights of the theatrical and literary world are either making holiday or are on tour in the prov inces, and these facts may account for the scanty attendance at tiie grave of Mr. Simpson, in the Catholic cemetery of St. Thomas, Walhum Green, one of the outlying districts of the modern Babylon. The chief mourners included John Clayton, the actor and manager; and there was a small group of dramatists, notably Pinero aud Robert Reece. Among the wreaths sent was one from Mr. Henry Irving, who is at present jilaying in Edinburgh. But, considering tiie name and wide acquaintance of Paigrave Simpson, considering, too, his AMIABILITY AND UNIFORM KINDNESS to those entering upon the career of litera ture and tho drama, the attendance at the funeral seemed but a meagre tribute of re spect. The theatres are beginning to put their liest autumnal foot forward. New plays are soon to be the order of tho night, and, moreover, a few of tho best old ones are now before the public, such as “Our Boys,” which enjoyed, on its original production at the Vaudeville Theatre, the phenomenal run of three years! The feature of the original cast was the quaintly humorous and pa thetic “butterman” of Mr. David Janies, whose performance, totter, if possible, than ever, is set oil' by an entirely new cast at the Criterion Theatre. Mr. Charles Wynd liani is taking his holiday. He could have left no more successful substitute as a “star” than Mr. David James, whose acting commands not only the laughter but the tears of the public. Among those who ap plauded him heartily the other evening was Sir Arthur Sullivan. The Talbot Champ neys is now Mr. George Guldens; the Charles Middlewick, Mr. Sidney Brough, a promising jeune premier, tho son of a popu lar London comedian, Mr. Lionel Brough. New plays are now in preparation at Drury Lane, the Olympic, the Opera Comique and the Comedy theatres. “The Pointsman,” announced at the Olympic, is from the pen of the authors of “The Great Pink Pearl.” “The Barrister” is the title of the comedy production. “A Secret Foe,” by John A. Stevens, is underlined at tho Opera Comique, and the attractive name of “Pleasure” has been given to the autumn play at Drury Lane. Mrs. James Brown-Potter has reached that stage in her career when even severe critics admit that she possesses talent. She is, of course, ad vised to “begin at the hot tom of the ladder;” to play small parts —in the provinces, if possible. In short, the usual suggestions that have tieen made to every woman of position, from Mary Ander sen to Mrs. Langtry, are made to her. The ambitious American will, of course, do nothing of the sort; and there is no earthly reason why she should, and every reason why she should not. Mrs. Potter has ALREADY ASSERTED HER ABILITY. She was charming in parts of “Civil War;” ahd in the new poetical drama of “Loyal Love” she is even totter, and in an entirely new way. Her forte is evidently destined to be romantic drama, and she would do well to add to her repertoire the late Miss Neilson’s favorite character of “Amy Robsart” in Andrew Holliday’s play of that name. “Loyal Love” begins badly, and the first two acts might advantageously to compressed into one. The third act con tains, however, a powerful, though conven tional, scene, in which tho heroine defies the villain of the play, who was embodied by Mr. Willard, famous in London as the “Spider” of “Tho Silver King,” and os “Jim the Penman." In a Hamlet-like garb Mr. Willard is perhaps less effective than in modern dress, but he naturally retains his celebrated baleful eye. Mrs. Potter wears her picturesque Spanish dress well, and in the love scene with Mr. Kyrlo Bellew mokes a series of graceful pictures. In the third act, however, comes her opportunity, and those Americans who have seen her only as an amateur, and who have rend adverse ac counts of her as a professional, would be agreeably surprised if they could witness her truthful and artistic treatment of the scone where the heroine defies the bold, liail man. There is feeling, power, and no little skill in her management of this dif ficult episode, and no one who has seen her in it, can refuse to admit that she poetesses valuable gifts for the stage. “Nothing suc coe<ls like success.” The very people who Sined in the “professional'’ outcry against rs. Potter at the start, and who pooh poohed her pretensions, have begun to real ize, aud even to admit, that “she w-ili make an actress.” Mr. Kyrlo Bellew, though he cannot, divest himself of a certain self-conscious air, not unnatural iu an actor who is perpetually playing heroes, and being adored, and TOLD HOW BEAUTIFUL HE IS, appears to great advantage in “Loyal Love.” Ho is one of the few actors on the stage that can wear a costume to perfection, and his movements, too, are extremely graceful. The power which he throws into certain defiant speeches comes, moreover, as an agreeable surprise. The young ladies who burn incense tofore the shrine of Bel low in New- York should certainly adorn it with a photograph of the divinity in the superb costumes—-one brown, one green— which he wears in “Loyal Love,” That Mrs. Potter will bo photographed in her dresses goes without saying. The most effective of those is made of silk, of that pe culiar blue shade that looks as though it were clouded with white. The garniture is of white Spanish lace, and the peculiarity of the mediaeval costume lies in voluminous sleeves, banded in tight at the wrist, and ar ranged in fine, narrow pleats. Mrs. Potter’s photograph, in every variety of costume, from Marie Stuart-like black velvet to nyinpli-like drapery, adorn the shop win dows, where, with the exception of ono or two new pictures of royulty, it has no fresh rivals. Tho proverbial dulness of the London Sunday is intensified In August, when, with the exception of a few birds of passage and a crowd of country cousins, there is “no one iu town;” anil those jiersons recently accustomed to the comparative gayety of the day of p*st iu France—to the tranquil enjoyment of tho Parisians, wandering up and down the Champs Eiysees, or the more unrestricted amusements of watering place existence- survey with a shudder the long and dismal vista of Regent street, the de serted precincts of Piccadilly, tho closed and gloomy houses iu the great squares. The hilarious strains of a Salvation Army bund alone fail upon the ear. and so mi eventful is the day that one actually welcomes the breathless announcement of an excited charwoman: “ Blouse. sir, there is such a fire in Regent street, ana Capt, Hhaw m there in all his regimentals, and tho fire engines what practices in the square, and its all ablaze”’ That something, or anything, should dare to to "ablaze” during the peaceful hours of a London Sun day, is, indeed, a profanation. I hope Lon doners who happen to to in town usually have an excellent way of “getting rid of Sunday.” They simplify matters by going out of town. It is, however, “a little too late for the rivers, and a little too early for Brighton,” and those unfortunate strangers who pass the Sabbath in deserted London in the fated mouth of August will to apt never to forget it. WaLSINUHAm. FLORIDA’S METROPOLIS. The City Council Determined to Col lect Back Taxes. Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 9.—The City Council had quite a lengthy session this morning to find ways and means to collect the city’s back taxes, which amount to nearly SIOO,OOO. Finally after considerable speech making it was decided that the col lector should have a deputy who was in structed to levy on all property that was behind. The affair has caused quite a sen sation in town and many think that the ac tion of the Council is only an idle threat, but the latter say they will sell all property be hind. Tho course of the deputy for the next few days will be watched with inter est.

Mr. Tygart is a gentleman well qualified to fill the position. There were five candidates for the office. The Boston Salute. Boston Letter to The Denver Republican. The Boston man does not bow to his womankind in the street—that is to say he does not take off his hat, but. merely touches the brim with one Huger, regarding that simple gesture as a sufficient exhibition of his respect for the female of his species. This remark does not, however, apply to the local swell, who has his own peculiar style of acknowledging a lady’s salutation. I saw the method very prettily illustrated yesterday afternoon while on my way across the Common. Three young gentlemen, dressed iu the height of the latest fashion, came swinging gracefully along with that peculiar lock-step which distinguishes the Havard undergraduate. Presumably they had just run up to the city for a little shop ping from Nahantor some other fashionable watering place not far from town. Each wore baggy trousseaus of English check with a black cutaway, left unbuttoned so as to disclose a cream-colored waistcoat and a wide expanse of a shirt bosom, striped horizontally in pink. Their tall white col lars were encircled with sky-blue cravats, with scarf pins stuck in the upper left-hand corners; their derby hats, of a chocolate and milk tint, were moulded in the newest bulge, and each carried a small log knobbed heavily with silver. While as yet these giled youths had not approached within thirty feet of ine, a young woman with a massive metal chain about her waist and skirts so tight as to render the outlines of her graceful limbs at tractively perceptible as she walked, passed me going at a faster pace than I, in the same direction. A glimmer of recognition illuminated the hitherto expressionless faces of the gilded youths aforesaid, each of whom halted almost imperceptibly on his left foot, raised his dexter paw and taking off his “tile” with a quick movement, held it for an instant slightly extended toward the object of the solute; then giving it a spasmodic jerk in the air replaced it upon his head. The operation required precisely three seconds, as near I could estimate it, and was performed in one time and three motions. To do it properly must require long practice, but who wpuld not to willing to devote some labor to the acquisition of a style upon which Boston has set the seal of its approval * Close Reckoning*.
