The good people OF Newport must evidently be
impressed with the opinion that the members of
the New York Yacht Club are very great sinners,
as not satisfied with the presence ofa larke number
OF the yachtsmen In church, they deputed one OF
their sanity fathers to make pilgrimage around
the yachts and distribute tracts. This person,
although overnOwing with religion, was not an

knocking the paint OF number OF yachts, and
also, by well directed shot for the cockpit OF the
Alarm, upset an inkstand, staining decks, &C., and
on the whole his mission was failure.

Vineyard and in the evening the yachtsmen will

MYSTERIOUS BEAUrrPuL FEMALE.
And then she went on whispering to me Of a
romantic story which had Its origin here in Ems In
lonely villa In a sylvan retreat, Of fairlylike
ngure, which had only been seen from
distance and always deeply veiled whose name
even the Russian gentlemen did not know and who
never appeared on the promenade, but which could
be seen every afternoon in the shady arbor Of the
garden with gentleman Of high and imposing
form, bearing marvellous resemblance to the En-
peror Alexander, who. at that time, never ap-
peared on the promenade. This gentleman was as
jealous as q Turk and guarded his treasure with
Argus eyes, and always went unaccompanied to
the mysterious villa on the other side Of the Lain.
Even when he walked with her In the garden the
tall figure OF the lady was enveloped In what
seemed cloud Of laces and wells, while her face
was shaded by large ian. No one could discover
who this strange beauty was, and the gentleman
guarded "the sweet mystery OF his house." as the
Turk calls his beloved wife, successfully against oil
curious and idlo looks.
THE GLITTER MYSTERY AND BEAUTY VANISH
But all this romance has now disappeared since
the Emperor Of Russia has left to visit the Empress
at Jugenheim. All the beautiful Russian ladies'

CHARMING MOUNTAIN VIEWS
But they possess one beauty which gives them
peculiar charm and fascination, that is, the magnf
icent view which one enjoys from their windows,
and which extends from the garden that surrounds
the hotel to the high and steep mountains which
on all sides surround the narrow Lahn valley.
Exactly facing my windows stands very fine old
weeping birch, from whose slim and long branches
are suspended long, pretty green leaves,
which, with their pedcles several feet long,
remind me Of the wonderful fox tails
to be found In the gardens Of the La

the difference that the leaves OF the latter are

and poetic impression, which gladdens the heart
