which places 1t Is believed that the are ashings
Of fun and whskey galore. Here are three young
cased in the whitest Of white Kid gloves, and a
young dandy in white attendant upon their every
wealth, refinement, city education and villa at
Long Branch. Their laughing Is silvery, their
Of the very newest style. They % are exnilarased
ambles over the sward, his attenaated legs gath.

gss gathers rs ,.a around p Dr. underwoods pagoda
and in and out like q Chinese mandarin In ina a
tea store. There are large number OF country

lying around loose in the boxes, and, having re-
tired to corner Of the field to examine his riches,
discovers that the supposed Treasury notes are
nothing but soiled and ragged revenue stamps
taken from the bottoms of lager kegs, giving vent
to his injured feelings In howl OF rage, made

doubling his body and STOPPING his head until

made wild dash at the incandescent soap man,
and striking him amidships, doubled him up into
small parcel, and the soapy young man awoke to
