There was some comment,and some questions
were inked by the little boy in regard to Wat-
Ue Weanet and the other animala ;to nil of which
Uncle licmua made charactcriatic 'rwponM,
Aunt Tem|>y cat with one elbow on her knee,
her head retting in the palm of her fat hand.
They gazed intensely into the Are, and aecmed
la bo lout in thought. I'rovtilly nhe exclaim
ed:???
???Well, de Lord he'p my foul!"
???Dat???ade proinlac, Hin Tcmpy,??? aahl Uucii
Bemnn, solemnly.
Aunt Tcmpy laughed, as she straightened
herself in her chair, and said:
???I dea knowed dey wua anmp'n nVr gwino
rroaa iny min??? w'en I year talk ???bout dat ar
sheep by the rliinknpin tree.???
"Out wid it, Bis Tcmpy,??? said t'nclc Remus,
hy way of encouragement | "out wid It j free
ye??? mild, cn des make your jio???se'f welcome.???
"No longcr???ii Htuiday ToTas', I???ua cross dar

dat J'd tak'n lake it un kyar' it homo nn gin
it out w'en I come ter pass do lime wid Brer
Senilis un all itv urn. I Tow ter myse'f I'll take
it un kyar' it dar, un I'll juit tell it my own
way."
"Well, den,??? said t'nolo Remus, approving
ly, ???me en dish yer chop, we cr willin??? cn
waitin', encz fer Brer .Taek'over dar, we kin
say de same fer him, kaze 1 up in year 'Im
draw mighty long broil* des now lak be ftxin???
fer ter snort, lint you neenter min' dnt olo
creator, Sis Tctnpy. Des push right ahead."
???Ah-h-li-e-cl??? exclaimed Daddy Jack,
anapping his bright little eyes at Uncle Remus
with some display of irritation; ???you tek-a
me fer bo sleep cliry tain I shod-a me y-oyo,
you is mek fo"l-a you'se'f. Warralt ynrrah
garrah tarrahl???
???Itrar Remus!" aald Aunt Tcmpy, In an
awed whisper, ???maybe ho's a cunju'n un
JOB. 9 '
???No-nol" exclaimed Daddy Jack, snappish
Ty, "me no cuneher no'n??? 'tall. Wun wi
cunrher you all you yeddy Ihiiio
Kntr I???
???Well, in de name er do Lord, don't come
ruuju'n wid me, kaze I'm des as pcaceabto cz
de day's long,??? said Aunt Tcmpy.
Uncle Remus smiled and closed his eyes
with an air of disdain, caught from liis old
mistress, the little boy???s grandmother, long
since dead.
"Tell yo* talc, Bis Tcmpy," he said;pleasnnt
ly, ???en leave de talk er cunju'n ter de little
nigger ehllun. Wo er done got too ole fer dat
kinder foolishness.???
This was for the ear of the little boy. In his
heart llnrtc Remus was convinced that Daddy
Jack was capable of changing himself into the
blackest of black cats, with swollen tail
arched back, fiery eyes, and protruding fungi
' But the old man's altitmlo resssured Aunt
??? Tctnpy, as well as the child, and forthwith
aha proceeded with her story:???
???flit seem like dat one time w'en Brer

Mare Aunt Teinpy paused. The little boy
nMicd what Brother Rabbit tied Mr. Lion for;
butehe didn't know; Unde Remus,however,
came to the rescue.
??????One time long 'fo' dat. honey, Rrer Rabbit

New York Letter to Cincinnati Enquirer.
In my own. country I am a radical about
women???s privileges. 1 was one of the first
organise evening theater parties exclusively
of young ladies simply to break down absurd
ol??f fogy ideas. I grew eloquent ns I reasoned
with my young friends about the absurdity of
all this Cuban fol de rol. ???Here you are, get
ting fat and puffy, simply from dawdling
about all day, eating, sleeping and rocking,
or lounging in a window like cats. Besides,
it is not the wav to treat your friends. 1 come
to this beautiful city, and you can't take me
out riding or walking to show me anything.
The theaters arc not open you say, or yo
??? opa to take us sorqe evening; or
I to-morrow night and sit in a car
riage at the plaza listening to a military band,
It's simply too perfectly absurd! It one of
you does not put on her mantilla, order out
the carriage and take ine to see the sights,
I'll go back to New York and tell all your
friends that you are no less fettered*than your
niggers."
???well, I shamed the younger one into doing
ns I said. Hhe looked pale through her powder
(Oh, mercy, how they do powder their faces,
necks and arms down there; they look like a
lot of female millers!)???actually turned whiter
than rice powder at the thought of what she
was doing; but she got ready, and wo drove
out. In O'Reilly street I wanted to see inside
of some of the stores; I did not want any clerk
staggering out to me with his arms full of
goods on the sidewalk. I actually prevailed
on my friend to # get out of the victoria
and go into a store, and then I got her to
walk across the street to another store. Khc
said she had heard soino ladies lmd begun the
American practice two or three years ago, but
no one ip her set had ever done so. Well, v
I Miked around two or three shopping stores
nice store* they wore, with their fronts all
open on the street and as if they had no walls
???and 1 bought a fan, a parasol and a lace
scarf, that are killing my friends with envy.
My companion was in agony. ???I am doing
wrong," said she; ???I wiil get back in the car
riage and let you go on while I drive slowly
after you/* Her voice was
hoarse that 1 thought she was going to he HI.
???All right," aaid I, ???only I tell you it???s all
nonsense." Hut it was too late. In the storo
she met nn uncle, who glared instead of bow
ing. Wc drove home by the way of Prado,
and saw the best part of the city, and then
we got in tho window sill and lounged there
like Persian*. The two sinter* whispered to
gether about the unde, and I could see they
were alarmed.

He came and held a long pow-wow with their
father and mother. Then he bounced out,
and my coin pan inn of the afternoon was sent
for. While she was with her parents I heard
high voices, and when she came hack she was
in tears, Hhe said that she hud never been
poken to before in such a manner; that I
could not dream what had been said to her;
that alie was told that shehud disgraced the fum-.
ily ami jeopardized her own good name. At tho
dining table tho old gentleman froze me,
und the old lady was so stiffly polite you
would have thought she had swallowed a
|M>kcr. I got tho elder girl to traiiHlatc a littlo
speech of mine into Hpnnish, in which I tried
to take all tho blame, but it did not work
The girls were very loving to me afterward
and we went out each evening with Miss Con
caption and had a pleasant queer sort of time
hut 1 could see that I would never be wul
coined hy the old couple again, und that my
character in their eyes was very tissue/ anil
threadbare.
No, no; I love my American sisters better
since I returned to them than before. They
don't know how to put on a nmntillu or how to
use a fan, but they arc sensible nud practical
and acti ve. Homo are full of fun, some are
full of energy, others thrill with gouius t nud
yet othcra are shrewd at business. Home are
pretty because of their beauty, some because
of their good taste and some hy reason of tho
intelligence of their faces. A mail who
chooscd wisely in this country gets a creature
of beauty who will be ?? joy forever. In Cuba
ho is apt to bargain for a pretty girl nud ftud
a homely, old, fat woman on his hands. Rut
there is ho discounting tho brilliancy of nn as
scmblagb of
rBKTTV CUBANS,
I saw* one in u theater.. They came in their
light silks, hare-headed, except for the Him of
pure white or jet hlaak lace that fell from the
hack of each one's head to her shoulders, ablaze
with gold and gems, ami sat in terraces of vn
negated gtitidiiicss with their laces and ribbons
and all tluttering in tho tremulous breexes
from thoir waving fans. At a distance you
could not see the crust of tmwdcr each
wears, nud so tho tints of their faces, necks
and arms were as beautiful us their deep, big
eyes and lanquid, sensual expression*. There
were many blondes among tuoiii, all looking
something like Nilsson, because, like the
Swedes, they have rather high cheekbone*
But they didn't laugh, they were not quick
and active, there was no nioveiuont or spirit
about them. They might as well have been
wax-works.

cat's proposition to reduce the sixo of the
record by excluding all speeches not actually
lelivered in congress is un awkward effort at
economy. 1'mlcr tho present rulo of granting
leave to print" congress is spared the inflic
tion of many a worthless cflhuton ami the ses
sions are materially abbreviated. The c<
grcsstiinn who is loaded will sli<
off and the most harmless
wav for him to do so is to capture a few pages
f the Record through which to address a dis
tant and unsuspecting constituency.
Washington is becoming not only the retreat
of millionaires, who seek its repose after mak
ing their fortunes in the bustling centers of
commerce, but it is a common thing for law
yer* of established fame and ripening year*
to repair to the capital and eonftue their prac
tice to the supreme court. Mr. Rmadhead, of
Missouri, proiiocse* to join this distinguished
company at the expiration of his present term
in cougress.
Mis* Lula Hurst hastaken Washington com-
iletelr bv surprise. Nearly every one of the
atiics ami gentlemen who were invited to her

power. When she hud waltzed four two hun
dred pound congressmen around the parl<

dozen correspondent* panting to their chairs
after they had vainly tried to press
the floor a billiard cue which she barely
supported, she b-vault* well established in the
coufldeuce of her audience. She has been an
noyed very much by the advances of the spir
itualists who address, her as ???Sister llurst,"
assure her that she has the mystic power,
and beg her to leave all present engagements
to join their band. The young lady refuses to
answer nnv of these communications or to see
any of their cranky authors. Her public
vr formatter* here as every where are attended
tv crowded houses. Mr. Smuford Cohen
f Augusta, is making a handsome thing out of
his contract for ntanaging??MUt llurst, while
she is filling the family strong box to the tune

process will do half what Mr. Rams-
dell claims he will make fame
and fortune out nf it before he is many months
older. The exhibitions of it he ha* riven to
some friends, have convinced them that it is
worth taking hold of, and a stock coni|uuiy

Mlsa Hurst's StranRo Gift .prof. Atkinson
Jntarvlesred.
From the Washington .Star.
???We are fighting spiritualism." said Prefer-
*or Atkinson, who assists Miss Lulu Hurst, the
electrical girl in her exhibitions. Miss Hurst
had just been giving an exhibition or a ???pri
vate view"in the parlors of the Metropolitan
hot**!. Three or four gentlemen, including th??*
stalwart Congressman Reese, of Georgia, were
panting after their efforts to hold n chair,
which seemed to receive from the lightest
touch of Miss Hurst's hand, an energy against
which it was useless for a tnan to oppose his
Htrength. Miss Hurst was fanning herself,
but did not appear much fatigued, ???We can
duplicate ail that is done by the spiritualists
aud claim that we refute entirely their theory,"
continued Professor Atkinson.
???Yon don't refute their theory, you only
prove it," said a bystander, who was evidently
a spiritualist.
???How about spirit rappings?" asked an
other person in the crowd.
???Wc can produce ranpings," said Professor
Atkiuson. ???If I stand at one side of the room
nnd a*k what time it is, tho time will bo rap
ped out on the table, providing I know myself
what tho time is. If I ask my age it will be
rapped out to the year nnd the month. If I
did not know my own age it would not be
liven. My own will and knowledge enters
nto this thing. I may say, 'Will you com
municate with us, spirits? If so give' two raps
if not, give three raps.??? Then there will conn
two raps on th<; table,"
???Don't that prove what tho spiritualists
claim?" asked the believer in spiritualist^.
???No," said Professor Atkinson,???for it makes
diflLrence whether I address the spirits, the
nuu, the moon, or anybody, animate or inani
mate, imaginary or real, the answer will eotne
all the same. You might as well say the suu
did it, when I address the sun and get a re
sponse.''
???What is your theory, then????
???It is a power which is in , Miss Hurst, and
the nature of which has not vet been deter
mined. Her case has been considered by some
of tho best mind* in Georgia, but they have
not explained it. Down in Georgia some |??eo-
pic thought she got her power from her hair.
She has n habit when embarrassed or per
plexed of passing her hand ??? through her hair,
just a* some people scratch their neads when
at a loss for something."
???Is it h power within her control?" asked
tho Star reporter.
???Yes," said Professor Atkinson, ???it dc|??ends
entirely ttjion her will, and she can ??top the
manifestation* when shcchooses. Iu her daily
life she in not troubled by any unexpected
manifestations, except in the cases of unbrcllas.
She cannot carry an umbrella or a parasol. It
would bo torn from her hand. Now, I explain
that on tbs ground that she has got the notion
in her head that she cannot carry an umbrella,
nnd tho notion is so strong that it takes posses
sion of her will."
what wish hi rst says.
Miss Hurst, when asked by the Star reporter
if thesu exhibition* exhausted her in any de
gree, smiled and giving a little laugh, said:
???Oh, no, sir; not nt all. lean keep it up
for hours. I don't use any strength ut all,nnd
1 only think to myself thnt I don't want the
chair to go to the floor, and then the gentle
man can???t pres* it there. Does it give me
a headache? Not a bit. I am conscious
of no tneutal exertion, excepting that
I must feel assured all the time that the
object* will do ns I wish them to. If
I foso confidence then I can do nothing, but
when I feci well and am sure of myself I have
no difficulty in doing some very strange things.
I don't understand it mysolf at nil, nnd there
is no peculiar sensation connected with it. We
didn???t have much fun to-night; there were
too tnany here, and I was afraid to make the um
brella fly around as it docs sometimes, for it
might have hurt seme one." Miss Hurst evi
dently enjoys the mystification she crealei
during the seance sne was frequently ljnu '
