A DAY IN BRUNSWICK. What a Reporter Saw Durlns the Lasl Day of our Fair. B. H., in Telegraph end Messeuger. “Ocean trout!” The above were the first words to strine iny eye when I glanced over the breakfast bill of fare at the Nelson House, Brunswick, Friday morning. Ocean trout! Golly ! thought I as I pushed my ample legs beneath the table and flung myself back in the chair in the attitude of a man at peace with all the world, how jolly it is to live down here with the salt air running after yon, when you have on ly to impale a boiled shrimp on a book, cast it into the water, and up comes a fine fat fellow of a fish, be fore the shrimp gets thoroughly wet! How I envied these healthy, brainy Brunswickers, with fish all the year rouud, and oysters when the months carry the R in them. Yes, delicious perch, royal pompadours, glorious snappers and delicioos trout! And then the turtles! Think of turtle Soup several times a year 1 And crabs! Well, there's no telling bow my appetite ran riot over these re flections, while a seven-foot pole of ebony humanity was manufacturing my brenkfast. Finally breakfast came, and I be gan to look for my ocean troni Fail ing to spy it at first glance, I looked a second and then the third time. I was about to get out a search warrant for it when my dexter eye lit upon something about the size of my little finger—the one I wear the diamond on—aud lo and behold, there was the ocean tront—a little bit of a chap, scarcely as large as a respectable sar dine, that had been caught and can ned off the coast of Newfoundland years ago. A boy can go out two hundred yards from the hotel steps aud iu half an hour catch enough elegant fish for a hotel dinner, and yet they gave ns cauued fish caught near New foundland. Gracious, how severely alone I left that ocean trout. lint Brunswick is a fine town for all that. And her people seem to be so deep iu love with tbeir town that there is not an iuch of ground in Glynn county they do not love with nil the intensity of a maiden’s first af fection. And, to tell you the truth, I don’t blame them much. If there is anything prettier than the moss-laden trees kissing and hugging each other over the streets, forming very bowers, under the cool shade of which they cau plod through the sand—I say, if there is anything prettier I'd like to aee it And then if yon don’t like the pretty trees, with their thick, dark fo liage, go down to the dock and sweep the wide level of water, with its sur face now and then broken by some graoeful sloop or schooner anchored to stillness. Then, if you are of a bnsiuess tarn, there’s millions of lum ber and turpentine and rosiu and shingle*. Bat if you want fish you amt go aud catch ’em. Brunswick bus much besides her sl<Hip8 and schooners and turpentine. ti\in has enterprise; The building wave struck ber some time ago, and it you look close you will find num bers of new buildings. And yet, Btrunge to say, old as she is, and as important, there isn’t a solitary brick building iu the town! Lumber, I suppose, is so dirt cheap that brick are too high- And let me tell yon another good thing about these hardy Brunswick- ers. They keep|up their fair associa tion, and every year they bold a fair. They have a man named D. T. Dunn, and he wears a coat only when he leaves Brunswick. He is a com pres sed bundle of energy and enterprise, and loves Brunswick with a'whole sonl. He rises early and works late, and whenever you tackle him he is in the best of hnmor, and ready to tell yon of the good qualities of his town Glynp county is the only county that keeps np this holding of fairs, and they give no slouch of a fair, let me tell you. They have a natural fair ground, with the exception of a race track, which is two feet deep in sand. Yet I saw a qaarter-mile dash on it, and the nags didn’t seem to care a continental whether chey were flying over sand or a shell road, I went ont to the fair in the morn ing and took a squint at some of the displays. In the agricultural depart ment there were a dozen cabbages with rouud hard heads that weighed up in .he forties. One grand fellow weighed forty-seven pounds. There were watermelons, cantelopes, pota toes, and gracious knows what all, and if I were to tell you bow fine they were you wouldn’t believe it They had any number of attrac tlons in addition to the maipmoth garden truck. I hadn’t been ^inside the gate five minutes before I ran up against my red rubber balloon man I think that man has a spite against me. No matter where I go that man pops up. If it’s an old grudge, I’m willing to square it any way in the world outside of being tortured by his over-recurring presence. The pop-corn fiend was there, and of course it wouldn’t have been a fair if theirod lemonade man had not been on hand. In the afternoon the firemanic pa rade took place. Hawkinsville and Cochran failed to come, and hence, Mechanics, of Macon, and Oceanic, of Brunswick, made up the procession. On the parade Mr. Dnnn marched at the hoad in his shirt sleeves, jnst as happy as if he had a dozen coats. About five o’clock in the afternoon the engines palled up on the main street, and the contest took place. Mechanics was tbe first to take posi tion. She pulled up alongside a cis tern, and Mr. Charlie Forrester, as sisted by Torn Fox, got everything in readiness. The first test was to get up steam aud throw one huudred feet of water through one hundred feet of hose. Oscar Thompson, of Macon, nnd Dr. Fellows, of Brunswick, were appointed time-keepers. Mechanics won this test, the time being 4:68 sec onds from the time smoke first ap peared in the stack to the time tbe water was thrown the one hundred feet The second test was torun fifty yards, attach one hundred feet of hose and play fifty feet of water Mechanics’ run was splendid, but the boys made a fearful bobble in attaching the hose to the engine, and lost fully fifteen seconds. The time made was 42J. Oceanic’s engine is a beautiful ma chine, of the LaFrance make, and ought to bo a good engine. The com pany made tbe first test is 6:48, and the second in 32J. Isn't old Mncon picking np? The other day Ocinulgee went over to Columbus anil cleaned 'em up, and here Mechanics scooped up the first prize in Brnnswick! I came near forgetting to tell yon how we got to Brunswick. I think the Macon and Brunswick has about us clever a corps of officials as any road on earth, but it has, or did have tbe most villainous schedule that whs ever perpetrated on a traveling pub lic. The train to Jesnp runs like a greased streak of lightning, and goes on into Florida in the same way, but at Jesnp we bad to wait two hours on the wrong side of the night before we started for Brunswick. This, I am glad to 8tiy, is changed, aud con Dec tious are closer. When the train rolled np to Coch ran, the firemen of that jam up little town met us at the depot with the- band and gave us music and a spread which came in just right. The boys appreciated the treat fully, The Oceanics, of Brunswick, made all the Macon boys welcome, and cared for them in a way that was happy aud substantial. Friday evening I boarded the train for Macon. Don’t know why it is, bnt I feel happiest when I get on a train bonifd for old Macon. In anticipa tion of a midnight lay-over at Jesup and having left Brunswick at too oarly an hoar for sapper, our party wos provided with a railroad lunch in the shapo of a box of deviled tongue and an assortment of bread. Eating on the train beats a pionic dinner on the grass all to smash. It’s fan to make a table of half your seat aud eat sideways. Bat when a fellow is hun gry, with an appetite whetted by standing oronnd looking at tbe sights, he can eat sideways or any other way. At Jesnp we encountered Capt. A. 0. Bacon, who had just got in from Savannah. We assigned him to the upper berth in our section of the sleeper. Now the upper berth of a sleeping car is a good deal nearer tor ment than the lower one. In the lat ter we had only to close the curtains and we had all tbe darkness of night; bat the man in the upper berth has no such enjoyment. He is on a di rect line with the lamp, and all night long that lamp looks at him through the curtain like the fiery, blood sbot- ten eye of an enraged ball. When be first lays himself down to slumbers the light looks like unto the tamed down lamp left horning by yonr wife for your midnight return home. After yon have turned over about forty times and wished from tbe bottom of yonr socks that the lamp was horning in a lower locality, the light gradually grows into the brilliancy of an elec tric light. Of course you sleep. Any body cau sleep with a light shining in bis face; but that man isn’t livin r who can do it and be a Christian, or even a first-class dtizen. Therefore, when the Captain descended from bis perch he wasn't feeling like a violet dipped in dew. However, these sleepers come very near giving a fellow a bed-room nap, and the upper berth is its only daw- back. Professor Leo, a dancing master of Ithica, N. Y., waltzed ten miles in two hours and forty-five minutes.— There were two orchestras, and sever al hundred spectators present. When ever one orchestra lost its breath the other took np tbe strain, and as one partner became exhausted another come forward. Thus sixty-seven changes were made, and a dozen or more panting and tried youug ladies and gcutlcmeii sat about the ball, but stil]. the •untiring Leo kept walziugon gracefully ami easily. His face was somewhat flushed, and he perspired freely for the first hour. After that lie weut on with apparent ease, sing ing much of the time in unison with tbe mnsie. Tbe bustle is about to assume pro portions again, bat, |man olive, you mnstn’t call it a bustle. Tbe new-fan gled idea is a “tonrnure.” P. S.—It is made of newspapers, same as old style.

Mr. Paul, a few days ago, rend in some sinful newspaper that a donkey couldn’t bray without raising his tail, and accordingly a bright idea struck him. He penned his famous jackass up in a cornnr of the stable, and climbing up in tbe trough above tbe dead-line of the animal’s heels, he at tached a brick with three feet of clothes line to his (the jack’s) tale.— Then he open the door, smiled audi bly and waited developments. Tbe animal walked into the lot, and bucked his ears for a yell, but it whs no go. His tail only raised the brick bigli enough to bit him ou the shanks.— TIjod be whirled around and the don- nick struck him in bis side. Then be flung up bis heels and tried to stand on bis head, bat that fragment of a country chimney lit on the small of bis back and drove him to frenzy. He climbed over the gate and dashed through the field in tbe direction of Augusta, closely followed by Mr. P.’s experiment. When fonml he was in- Joel Neal’s lot with the brick lodged in a crook of the fence, and his back bone pulled ont till bis ears had dis appeared under hi* skin. Mr. Paul says that kind of treatment may pre vent tbe coarsest of the noise from es caping, but it will demoralize the best jackass on earth. Ladle* Who Knew How lo Drive. Atlanta Pbonognph. Two ladies living iu the western part of the city had a strange experi ence one day last week. They bad hired a horse and buggy and gone ont to make some afternoon calls, bnt at the first place they called they stayed so late that it was nearly dark when they came out They found tbe horse standing patiently, and catting short their adieus they climb ed into tbo buggy, and while one tucked away half an acre of lap-robe the other took up the lines and whip and said “get up” to»llie horse. But the horse didn’t “get up" worth a conk He just moved a little ou three legs nnd whisked his tail. “Shoo! get up—g’laug !’’ said the woman with the lines, and she em phasized the remark with a cut of tbe whip. The horse made a sudden step forward, aud Loth ladies nearly fell over the dashboard. “Who-a-o-a-a!” screamed tbe one that wasn’t driving. Good gracious, he’s going to run away! Let me drive—I’ll make him behave.” “Hold on,”, said the other; “I haven’t driven horses ever since I was six yeturs old for nothing, and I’m go ing to whip the horse aud make him go—so there now I” The whip descended ou the horse, and be at onoe stood up on hie hind legs and pawed the air, bnt didn’t mako a step forward or budge an inch oat of the straight and narrow path in which he' stood. The ladieB were in despair, and looked. helpless ly at the bouse they had just left, and wished their, friend would come out to th?ir Assistance.. At that moment help did come, in tbo shape of a gen tleman who was passing, ami noticed their dilemma. “Can*I l»e of any assistance to you, ladies?” he naked politely; “would you like to Imve yonr horse untied?” They never said a word about it, but man-like he told, amt that is how we got hold of this true story.
