! About two-tbirds of The boarders at the
Maxwell arc grass widowers, whose better
halves are j-urnirg at the springs. L is
| pleasant to note the gay ftiskiness, the ex-
hlbition of iollity aud freedom from restraint
! which chstacterizes this class CT our citi-
sens, and the sympathetic mind cannot re
! press feeling Of gloom at The reflection
that all this happiness will be brought to an
| end about the LIST of September.
The Vienna CORE spodent of the PArt
MuSicd! states that some Hottentots, who
| Sre visiting the exhibition in that city, ex-
press the greatest delight with Wagner's
music. They appear 10 regard al o.her
strains with stolid indifference, but the
latest illusions of the Bavarian CO nposer
excite them almost &c frenzy. The c0mpli-
ment is doubtful.
Yesterday was nice, warm day in this
section of country. Office fires were allowed
to die out early in the morning, and over
coats and wraps we're ge, orally discarded
The demaud for fuel was not 50 active as it
has baen, While here and there inquiries
were made about ice, and hopes expressed
that sufficient quantity had been laid in.
Several gentlemen were seen on the streets
dressed IN summer suits, and the impression
that We will coon have warm weather seems
to prevail in all portions Of the city.
Those who desire to study graceful and
picturesque economy must 90 70 the district
school committees of New Elglsnd, One of
these noble organizations has refused to pay
q teacher for the time appropriated in at
tending the funeral of an aged acquaintance,
while another has just paid its last winters
teacher, so saving the interest On the money
fl that time. There is a kind of holiness
and lsrgeness about this conduct, beside
which that OF the committees that don'tpsy
their teachers at all sinks into the merest
insignificant Cincinnati Times.
The Danbury EelgS man lsbored through

BeWildering and dizzying al appropriations Of
the Music Divine,
OF which, or when, and even that, or hence, or

Speaking of tho grand concert lately given
the Shah in London, and of the difficulty
of obtaining seats, Mark Twain tells this
little story: "Col. x, noted man
in America, bought seat some days ago
for $40, and little sfterWard met know
ing person, who said the Shah would be
physically worn out before that concert
night and would not be there, and conso-
quently nobody else; so the seat was i'm
med iately sold for So. Then came anothe:.
knowing one, who said the Shah would IN
questionably be at the concert, so the colo
nel went straight and bought bis ticket back
sgain. The temporary holder of it only
charged him $3.50 for carrying it around for
him during the interval. The colonel was
at the concert, and took The Shah's head
clerk for TIE Shah all the evening. Vexs-
ton could so 10 further than that" Twain
himself was unable to secure admission,
simply because the architect who designed
the building, made it large enough to hold
OILY $1,000 instead Of 1901, as he should
have done.
