POOR OLD WASHINGTON. The Heat in the National Capital Makes Life a Burden. The Only Relief Its People Have Is a Hide on the Potomac- -Night Excur sions Seem to lie the Only Means of Escape. [Special Washington Letter.! Green walled by the hills of Mary land and Virginia, the placid Potomac in the summer moonlight is beautiful beyond description. In the olden time before the yawls and shallops of John Smith and his companions found the head waters of this beautiful stream, the aborignal inhabitants in their birch bark canoes enjoyed themselves rowing and sailing upon its peaceful bosom. To-day T the greatest enjoyment of civilized man and woman in this vicinity is derived from excursions upon the Potomac. These excursions arc big or little, brief or extended, according to the numbers and desires of the par ties interested. Regular steamers make two daily trips to Mount Vernon, the tomb of Washington, and to Marshall hall, a famous pleasure resort across the river from Mount Vernon. There are so many strangers visiting the na tional capital constantly that they usually occupy these regular excursion steamers to the almost total exclusion of the people of Washington. But on Saturday nights and Sundays our peo ple go by thousands to these popular resorts. There are other excursion steamers which take seekers after pleas ure and rest down the river to Point Lookout, a place just at the widest point in the Potomac river before it enters Chesapeake bay. Large iron steamers, for a very small sum, carry excursionists from this city to Fortress Monroe and Norfolk; a trip which occu pies two nights and one day. The _ greater portion of the day, however, can-be spent in Norfolk and vicinity. Narrow gauge railroad lines convey ex cursionists from the old Virginia city to pleasure resorts upon the Atlantic coast. A number of steam launches owmed by private individuals carry select parties down the Potomac to Indian Head, Fort Foote and other popular resting places, or else they steam up and down the river without- landing anywhere, merely for the purpose of having an outing. When the days are hot and the nights unendurable here thousands of our people spend half the night upon steamers which ply the Potomac solely for the purpose of furnishing fresh air and artificial breezes to the excursion ists. The ferryboats which run regu larly between this city and Alexandria are also extensively patronized for the same purpose. It takes half an hour to go from city to suburb on these ferries, and during the entire summer they are crowded from early morn till dewy eve, from dewy eve till morn. Quite a number of children in care of their nurses spend half days upon the ferries and have very jolly times in dsed. while the bent ia the city is well- llioninl, will state that you are at full liberty to I use my name ns to the hem til Io be derived from , Sumamtee Sprinya Water. Very truly voura, R. G. FLEMING. Mr. F. Myers, head bookkeeper Southern Bank’ ; Savannah, Ga,. Wasarulleri r from gravel for four or live years; tried treatment any numl er of times and , found no relief, visitnl tin* Suwannee Springs three years ago and received almost entire relief up to a mouth ago; two weeks ago visited unentiuraotc. Everybody knows everybody on these cosmopolitan excursion boats except a I few young couples who know nobody but themselves. The summer girl and i her summer beau, like birds of a ; feather, flock together, by flocking off i nil alone in secluded corners of cabin, deck or hurricane roof. Down at Marshall hall, while, the pavilion is 1 crowded wit h dancers, these happy •• young noodles occupy tables in the out skirts of the crowd and eat iec cream > until they can eat no more, and then they disappear in the gloom of the 1 ■ lovers’ lanes extending all along the river front. When the shrill whistle ‘ ' \ \ I ■ \ . / ICTsfe-; ■ \ • L -? ■ ' IB UTS? , MOONLIGHT ON Tilt: POTOMAC. 1 of the steamer announces that it is ’ about time for the return trip these • happy spooners gradually gather again ■ ingroups upon the boat, each and all -of them praying that midnight may 1 never come. Solitary, selfish men enjoy these ex ' cursions. To see them chumming, ’ smoking and chatting, occasionally ! shouting or guffawing when some ' good story is told, you might rea sonably presume that they arc bach- ■ elors; all of them single gentlemen leading lonely lives. I happen to know, however, that there are wives and children of these men sweltering in the I city, because their husbands and fa ' thers “cannot afford the expense” of 1 summer night excursions for their fam- 1 ilies. The dog in the manger was an ’ exceedingly selfish animal, but, after ■ all, he was only a dog and knew no ■ better. I would not intentionally cast any reflections upon that particular ’ dog; nor would it be entirely proper to make any comparisons at this time. ‘ But, while gazing at the groups of ’ men unaccompanied by their families, the thought of the dog generated itself spontaneously. It is a very democratic gathering ’ which engages the attention of tlia 1 • ticket-seller on the wharf. Boys of tender ages and tough consciences, smoking cigarettes, carrying willowy canes, with which their trousers ought to be vigorously dusted, hand in their , quarters and go aboard the boat, 1 puffing their vile and poisonous smoke ! tn the faces of ladies and gentlemen, i ' until they come within sight of Capt. ’ Blake, who briefly teaches them a i ..4._4 . 4 .....4 ..4_4...

Aspinwall, Savannah, Ga. Came to the Springs June 11; .suffered for years Bon concerning public rights and wrongs. Thi‘ captain does not go into detail upon the subject, as Mr. Black stone did, but his lecture is an effective one. A few colored people make their ap pearance; but they are quiet and un pretentious. There are steamboats es pecially devoted to the entertainment of colored folks, and they run to cer tain resorts down the river which are set apart, for and patronized wholly by the race of freedmen. Many colored girls who are nurses for while children and young men who are favorite serv ants of prosperous men accompany t'.ieir masters and mistresses, although they do not hesitate to declare that they would rather be with their own people. As the time draws near for the steamer to start, the crowd grows more dense, anti the ticket agent lias to earn his salary in a hurry. Titc cable ears, electric ears, carriages and cabs bring people by the scores and hundreds. All kinds and conditions of men anti women, armed with newspapers, novel;, anti packages, flash by the ticket-seller somewhat like the shifting of the glasses in the kaleidoscope. For fif teen minutes it goes on without a fflW '■ ■ \ /f A Iffl 'f (wii ON THE WIIA'nF. break, and then the warning whistle ' of the steamboat gives out a long wail ing note, which strikes terror to those ; late comers who are several blocks dis- i tant. The watchman goes to the gates, and, as they close, a score of people . rush breathlessly by and tumble over i each other in their anxiety to get away i from the maddening crowd of the city; but, like the foolish virgins of the t Scripture, they are “too late.” The ' gates, once closed, do not open. To the belated excursionist, upon a hot night, the gates ajar make a beautiful sight. There is one thing about these moon- ; light excursions which might be dis- • pensed with by the best people; but ' they are in the minority and must sub- t mit to a continuous bore. Upon the cabin deck of the t-tcamer an alleged brass band endeavors to play enliven ing music d-ui-t'g the round trip.

There arc occasional efforts at har mony between the trombone and the tuba; there are contests for supremacy between the flageolet and the piccolo,; the volume, of sound is badly swollen' by the tinkling cymbals and the soul less bass drum; and, under these cir cumstances and conditions, the band plays “Annie Laurie,” and “Annie Rooney,” too. The men who practice before the bar on the boat ckiim t hat the band drives them to drink. It is enough to drive them to the brink- of drink, anyway. Occasionally the band stops to take its breath, and then somebody inside the cabin touches the keys of a piano, and some young lady lifts up her voice on high sometimes as high as high 0; and the loungers enter to hear t ho voca I mu sic. 11. can never be so amateurish but that it is better than the band; or, at any rate, not, so bad as the bund. Very often on these excursions we have some entertaining concerts either aboard the steamer, or down at Mar shall hall, for our vocal and instru mental talent is generous and always cheerfully responds to till demands. One evenin';- last week the Mandolin and Guitar club went down the river and took their instruments with thorn. They not only played down at, the lr.il, but kept their instruments going near ly all the way back to Washington, so that, the band didn't play “Annie Laurie” nor “Ta-ra-rah!” By the way, on the trip homeward bound, as the witching hour of mid night approaches, there is a drowsy sense of ease and cornfort so pervading the entire company that men and women here, there and everywhere drop their chins upon their breasts; and some of the older folk grumble forth really, truly, sure enough snores. Occasionally a weary head of some young lady which might better be up on its pillow at home falls upon the shoulder of a young man who may or may not be worthy of such confidence. Mothers may be awfully in the way sometimes; but it would do no harm if every girl could have a mother with her everywhere, even late in life when the girls themselves become mothers of girls as wayward as themselves and as self-willed. Evtfn mothers might im prove upon themselves sometimes. I once knew a mother who permitted and encouraged her daughter, scarce seventeen years of ago, to go down the Potomac river on excursions with strange young men whom the mother had never seen; encouraged the child to go driving with strange young men, until midnight; and yet that mother would thank God that she was pot as other women were. But if wo talk any more about moonlight excursions, we will be preaching; and that is some thing which never occurs on such occa sions. Smith D. Fur. The Paradox of the FennileM.

Tragic l.ic'Ccnt of (he War Between the i nil' ll Mute.-. and Mexico. A trit"'i.' ir.eidenl, of Scott's campaign in Mexico was recently told by Gen. McKinsiry, :i veteran of Unit war, to a wi-it'T in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The occurrence, as t hus graphically re lated, has been glossed over or omitted as of no importance by the historians of Unit gloriou mulch. “At the battle of Churnbusco,* said th., general, “wecaptured n large num ber of deserters from our icrvice. who were duly tried by court-martial and H-t-terc-cd to execution l y ham.-ing-. "’1 lie execution of one batch of these mirerable creatures by Gen. Harney was somewliat tragical. In a field near the convent of Churubusco stood trees with crotehed tops, along which poles were extended, on which hides were dried by the Mexicans. On these ridg, poles some sixty or seventy deserter were exeented by It;-.- mg. liarne acting;.s provo -t m-r: ’.a l. h:.d char of the c.xeeuli'.ii. Fortdr. purpose : adequate number of : ix-i.n;le '•-.ivi t merit teams v. ere driven and stationed under the ridge poles alternately, so that the heads of one team stood next to the tails of that adjoining it. The tailboards ci' the wagons were turned up and on each was placed a prisoner, with a rope around his neck fastened to the ridge poles. All this was done and the necessary preparations for exe cution made within sight of the castle of Chcpultcpee, which at that moment was lining assaulted by our forces. The oprerations of I lie troops as they ascend ed the broken acclivity toward the heights, carrying the redoubts, and clambering over rocks, chasms and ravines, under the hottest fire of cannon and musketry, were in full view of the condemned. All were kept standing on their scaffolds (the tailboards of tho army wagons) during the battle of Che pultcpec (a long time to wait) over two hours. Seme of the prisoners were de fiant and impudent, indulging in pro fane and insolent language. Harney said to them: ‘Don’t be impudent, you rascals. As soon as you see the Mexi can flag come down from Chcpultcpee and our flag go up you will go up, too.’ This was to be the signal of their doom, and when at length the American flag was unfurled on the castle of Chepui tepec a glorious and animating sight to all but these men, a big drum at one end of the scaffold boomed out, and with a yell the drivers whipped up their mules, and, driving from under the ridge poles, the miserable wretches were left suspended by tho neck, with their legs dangling in the air.” BRAVE AND CUNNING. How the Mink Steals Tish and Game . r rotn Sportsmen Down East. Probably the most cunning of all ani mals is the mink.

Jackson, Savannah, Ga,, June 20, 1891, says: ‘From a personal experience, I can say that your Springs oiler a cure for rhumatism. 1 ar rived at Suwannee a very sick man indeed, ora supply of fish is unobtainable, says the Lewiston Journal. Two g’en ’ tiemen were fishing on one of the rivers of Maine. The fish were quite plenty, i and as soon ns one was caught it was thrown behind on the grass. After ’ some time one of the gentlemen thought ho would take a rest and nt the same • time examine his capture. I >ut he could 1 not find a single fish. He charged his ’ friend with having played him a trick, but the friend was as surprised as ho. They now determined to watch their next, fish, and their astonishment was ’ unbounded when they saw a mink run from a hole near by. snatch up a fish and carry it off to the hole, where they ‘ afterward found their entire capture cunningly hidden under some dead leaves. i In the same manner the mink steals ■ game which sportsmen s[io;>t. On one occasion a gentleman shot a wild duck, but before the dogs could get to it. a mink had stolen it, carried it off to a hole in the frozen snow, which one mink had prepared while the. other wr. watching for the opportunity'to ate: 1 the sportsman's game. Notwith- ta: this particular characteristic, the ml:. . 1 is a brave as well as ferocious little fel low, and ho is excelled in these qualities only by the ermine. He seems to have a peculiar aversion for the muskrat, and, though the muskrat is generally more than double his size, the mink at tacks him fearlessly, and always wins the battle, after which he drags hi: dead enemy to some hiding place, as in the cases of the fishes and wild duck. They are found in almost every state in tho union, but most frequently in Maine and in tho states bordering the great lakes. Mink skins are sold in great numbers by Maine trappers, and are sold for furs undes- various names. In tho Wil<l au<l Woolly West. It happened in a saloon in a western town, lhe usual crowd had congre gated one evening, when tho propri etor's most profitable customer, who boasted of having been drunk in every state in the union, offered to wager that he could, blinded, tell the name of any drink by tasting it. The offer : was taken, and a handkerchief being tied-, over his eyes the trial began. A half dozen different kinds of ■ booze-producing liquids were hand ed him, and in each case he , promptly and correctly gave the name. Finally a quantity of water was poured into a glass and handed to him, , but as he tasted this a puzzled look . camo over his face. Ho thought a mo ; ment, then tasted again; another mo ment elapsed, then he remarked: “Boys, I guess I’m stuck. I remember of drinking some of that stuff ’bout ten years ago down in New Jersey, but I’ll bo hanged if I call remember what they called it. I’ll give it up; I'm beat. I know what it is, but I can't think.” Fish That Need No Water. In Java and Borneo there arc two kinds of fish which inhabit the ponds ’ and small freshwater streams, when the water disappears during tho hot season these fish burrow into the mud and remain there in torpid condition , until the autumn rains begin. barely being able to move or lift my arms.
