APRETTY MAID SERvANT.-Almost every
body that is anybody is now out of town. The
business streets are less crowded than usual,
while the fashionable ones are entirely desert
ed. The young men in the downtown whole
sale stores have nothing to do but TO loaf, read
the papers, and try to keep cool. The splen-
did residences in the Fifth Avenue and other
similar streets are barred and bOlted, and even
a procession with band of music brings no
one to the windows, as it passes, but the ser
want girls who remain at home. Ihey nave
good time playing the lady while their mis-
tresses are dancing at Saratoga and bathing at
Newport. But | would have you know that
some of the maid servants here are a very
good looking and well behaved class. a most
amusing illustration of the intatuation of GER
tain people and of the attracdveness of others,
occurred the other day. A young man from
one of the interior States, having come to
town, thought it but right and proper that he
should pay his respects to family with whom
some members of his own had been well ac-
quaiRted He got himself up regardless of ex-
pense, and having shaved, been shampooed at
Phalon's, and having dined at the St Nicho-
las, he started to call upon his aristocratic, bat
unfamiliar friends. Ringing the bell, very
handsome young woman came to the door and
let him in. Upon inquiring whether the folks
were at home," he was informed that they
were not, but that they had been out of town
some time, and would be absent all Summer.
The young man was fresh from the country,
aud could not distinguish the lady from the
lady's maid. Having heard his sister describe
Miss B, he made up his mind that the per-
son before him was none other than she whom
he had called to see. The maid servant de-
MED the soft impeachment, but he would have
it that she was only playing off He had
night or two before been to see "She StOops to
Conquer" al one of our theatres. The maid
servant finding it impossible to undeceiye the
young man from the country, invited him into
the parlor. They spent the evening very
pleasantly together, the ready and spirited
conversation Of the servant convincing her
visitor that she had been playing an assumed
part. He thought she was intelligent and
handsome enough to be the daughter Of the
proprietors, if she was not, Under this con-
viction, he went to his hotel, not however,
until he had assured her that he would call
again, and his sleep was of course sweetened
by pleasant dreams. His visits were frequent
and constant. And although he has since sat
isfied himself that the young woman whom he
saw was maid servant, and not the young
lady of the house, his interest in her has in
creased to such an extent that he has formally
proposed marriage. He is honest in his inten-
tons, and well to do in the world, and of course
she will have him. This marriage will or
should create quite as much talk as that soon
to take place between the millionaire Spaniard
and the daughter of a gentleman late a lieu.

BETsEY BAKERS BoNNET.-The collection
in the rooms of the Rhode Island Society for
the Encouragement of Domestic Industry has
received an interesting addition-a bonnet
braided by Mrs. Betsey Baker, in exact imita-
tion braid, shape, and trimming, of the first
straw bonnet ever braided in this country.
Sixty-one years ago, when this venerable
lady was a blooming maiden, she determined
to have straw bonnet not knowing auy 9TH
er way to get it than to braid it herself, Miss
Betsey Metcalf, that was her maiden name,
saw an imported Dunstable straw bonnet in
Col. Whipples store, and being true Yankee
girl, she set herself to work to initiate it. The
interesting memoir upon straw braiding, con-
tributed by Judge Staples to the last volume
of the Transactions of the Domestic Society,
shows how she succeeded. With no instruc-
ton, without the opportunity of unbraiding
specimen OF the work to see how it was done,
she persevered till she made bonnet that was
the envy of the other girls Thence sprung
business which to-day employs 10000 people
and turns out 100000 bonnets and hats an
nually, in the single State of Massachusetts,
The public attention was first directed to
the subject, and to the service of which one
young lady's ingenuity had rendered to the
country, by the memoir of Judge Staples. the
Secretary of the Society Her portrait paint
ed by Lincoln, and presented to the society by
Gov. Dyer, hangs upon the wall Of the Secre-
tary's office. A few days since she presented
to the society a fac smile Of the first bonnet
that she braided, and it will be preserved as a
memorial of q most interesting incident con-
nected with large and important branch of
domestic production. The bonnet it may be
supposed, differs materially from those now in
use. For the information Of our fair readers,
we may state that the fashion in 1913 was de-
cidedly larger than the prevalent one to day,
and that the new bonnet after the old style of
which we speak would not fail to create q SEN
sation on Westminster street. Ii they doubt
1t, let one of them try it, We dare say it
might be borrowed for the experiment

WASHINGTON IRvING.-A correspondent of
the Peekskill Democrat refers to some of the
domestic incidents of Irving as follows Our
readers are, Of course, aware that he is unmar-
ried, though they may not know the cause of
his celibacy, When he was young he fell in
love with a beautiful girl whose name was Ju-
liza; his love was reciprocated, and they were
engaged. This was before his literary talent
showed itself, and the young lady's father,
hearing Of his daughters engagement, broke
it off, aware that Mr.. Irving had but a small
fortune. The young lover returned to his own
home detected and without hope, and poor Ju-
liza died soon after Of broken heart and her
betrother continued true to her by always re-
naming unmarried.

BRowNLow on EXTRAyAGANCE.-Parso Brown
low, of the Knoxville Vhig, in late issue,
speaking of the Capitol enlargement at Wash
iugtou, thus hits off the Democracy
when the Democrats first undertook the
enlargement, it was necessary to satisfy Con-
gross that the work could be done within rea.
S0nable bounds 50 FAR as the expense was con-
cerued, in order TO obtain the necessary appro-
priations. They accordingly had their estimate
made by architects and engineers upon oath.-
In every instance, afterwards, it required from
three to five times the amount reported. We
will specify two instances, and ask the people
to look at them. The new dome on the Capitol
according 10 the estimate, was to have cost
100000, right snug SUN for cupola on
public building. But it will cost eight hundred
aud fifty thousand dollarsl The door leading
into the Capitol, which was TO have cost ten
dollars Think of that, countrymen, and tell
to old age, without being worth one-half what
Democracy Iaid for one door
"The way it was done; Laborers were allow
ed from three to 1--WE dollars per day, and re-
quired TO receipt for that amount and receive
One-halG They were told the other halfwas to
SO to sustain the party, and that by retaining
power they could give the parties other work
to do. "
The Frederick tMd.) Ezamiaer says that
Parson Brownlow has made but one mistake,
and that with regard to the cost of the dome of
the Capitol. Instead of Ss5o,oOO, it will haze
cost, when finished, near 100000.

A COMPANY has been organized to run line
of steam passenger boats on the Canal between
Rochester and Buffalo. The Union says the
steamers are to be of light draft, and just as
large as will pass the locks at Lockport They
viii have side wheels constructed after new
patent, by which the swell is diminished. 1t is
thought that these boats can be constructed SO
as to run ten miles per hour and carry thirty
tons each of light freight, besides afFording good
accommodations for passengers.

TnE Catholic citizens of ST. Thomas, G. w,
are in great state of agitation, on account of
an alleged attempt on the part of two or more
bloodthrsty williams, names unknown, who
have attempted to assassinate Rev. Clement
Fraucheon, Roman Catholic priest. tits said
that the assassins entered his dwelling in the
night and stabbed him near the heart. On a
previous occasion, he was seized as he was
returning home and an attempt to strangle him
was made. The windows of his house have
been broken with stones. Owing to these foul
proceedings, his house is watched by friends,
and he sleeps with a loaded revolver under his
pillow.
