August 9, 1862
q WZoo-zoosp "a departed. For an en-
week their sa mar pantaloons were the
anotceable gure of the place. Every
nlno durircA IA ay there was a hop of
20 or sma1d b. Hep. .ons at one of the hotels,
A a. ovorF hop ~ lightest and most fantastic
- ,goro s'urmounted by the ample red folds of
A. TO-, 10 style of pantaloons. On Friday even
"A ing tbe 10000 season in the hopping line was
n h,sTb, to a close by very elegant and crowded
af at the Surf Heuse, and on
Sa day afternoon the whole regiment was
M alled into the dining-room of the same
estaushment to partake of the farewell repast.
1n.uSH The regiment formed on the lawn in front
ne hotel, and after a few preliminary
fshes with their muskets and scarlet
eers, made their way past an admiring and
1etfui throng to the depot and Camp Meade,
th ali It's belongings, was a thing of the past.
Immediately after the departure of the bold
.oldier5 with the brilliant pantaloons the disc
of the moon passed over a goody portion of
the face of the sum- and the disconsolate
islanders turned from viewing dazzling un-
mentionables with the naked eye to the con-
temptation of the still more dazzling celestial phe-
nomenon through ragged bits of smoked glass.
But although the Zoo-zoos have gone hence
all the capacity of the sojouners for enjoyment
has not gone with them. On Saturday evening
the United States Hotel was enlivened with the
presence OF hundreds of people from all parts of
the island, the attractions being a hop and a
grand outburst of fireworks, both of which
passed off with ecldt and more especially the
fireworks. At the same time q concert was in
=. progress at the Excursion House. the performers
Y being the members of an excellent Philadelphia
\ organization known as the 'Vocal Union who
\ on this occasion acquitted themselves with much
\credit. The programme for the next week is
\ quite attractive. On Wednesday matinee will
be given at the Surf House, at which a choice
musical programme will be executed under the
direction of Mr.. Jean Louis interspersed with
aadings by Mr.. A. RYAN Horn, of Philadelphia.
Friday evening, at the United States Hotel the
cldren will be thrown into an ecstacy by a
faI1ylIop and carnival for their especial benefit,
the Appropriations for which give promise of a
great success. Then on the evening of Monday
next; August 1G, an invitation bal masque will
be given at the Surf House, and as an abundance
= of elaborate and grotesque costumes will be ac-
cessible, the repetition of the brilliant scene
81 recently witnessed at the Excursion House may
be anticipated. The Reception Committee will
be attired in the costume of the Court of Charles
II, and the Floor Managers in that of the court
of Louis XVI, serving as nucleus around which
the masllers rally. All these announcements
predict lively and agreeable time for a week to
come. WAsHTENAW.

shire hills, Of how a beautiful young
woman had a very stern parent, who
hated the youDg man she loved, even
to threatening to shoot him if he
dared to come near her, and carrying
a loaded pistol for that purpose -
How she could not leave her fathers
house, save penniless and alone; so,
on a recent day, she left it on an err
rand to a neighbours which proved a
very long one, for she did not return.
How she walked bravely fourteen
miles through the snow, to village,
whence she took a sleigh for Pitts
field, seven miles more, aud there
found temporary home. How
she beekoned by tho telegraph wires
to her faithful swain in New York
who straightway gladly hastened to
her arms. How rapidly aud happily
the appointments of wedding were
extemporizee the next day; and how
well two troubled, loving hearts, who
for three Years had warred against
adverse fate, were saoredly welded
that night. And certainly there nev.

In few mouths after the stable had
been Insured it caught Gro ard was
destroyed. The German, whose hahe
was Schmidt, quietly notified the
agent, and hinted to him that he
would expect the nine hundred dol.
lars at the earliest possible moment.
The agent at once sent a builder to
ascertain the cost of erecting a new
stable, of the same dimensions, hav-
ing learned that the property had
been insured for moro than it was
worth. The builder reported that he
could rrplace the stable with new ma
terial for $500, but unfortunately
there was a regulation preventing the
erection Of frame buildiugs--tho old
stable having been of wood. lilo was
thcu asked to estimate tho cost of a
brick stable, aud reported the amount
at $3.50. Tho agent then notified
Schmidt that he would build him a
new brick stable in place Of tho old
frame, but Schmidt became very iu-
dignant at the imposition, saying!

The agent reasoned with Schmidt,
but all to no purpose, When the

went to consult lawyer, thinking
that he could still get the amount of
the policy, beside having tho new sta
bic. The lawyer, however, informed
him that the company had right to
make good the loss BY building new
stable, and expressed surprise that he
should talk Of bringing suit against
them,

Apt Retort,

There is an excellent story on rec

connection with the building iratern
ity, in the case Of the late eminent
and talented Mr.. Alexander, the
architect Of the Rochester bridge and
several fine buildings in the county Of
Kent. lie was under ross-examina-
tion in special jury case at Maid
stone. by Sergeant-afterwards Bar.

from the weight Of his testimony, and
who, after asking him what was his
name, proceeded. "You are build
er, believer" "No, sir, l an an
architect" "Ah we'll /; architect or
builder, builder or architect, they are
much the Same | suppose 7" ~ beg
pardon, sir, / cannot admit that;
consider them to be totally different
ooh, indeed perhaps you will state
wherein this great difference con-
sists2" "An architect, sir, prepares
the plans, coDccives the design, draws
out the specifcations-in short p
plies the mind; tho builder is merely
the brieklayer or the carpenter; the
builder, in fact, is tho machine I; the
architect is the power that puts the
machine together, and sets il going y
"Oh, very we'll, Mr.. Architect, that
will do; aud now, after your very in
genious distinction without a differ
ence perhaps you can inform the
court who was the architect OF the
Tower of Babel2" Aud now mark
the reply, which for promptnoss and
wit, is perhaps not to be riyaled iu

"There was no architect sir, and
hence their confusion"
