Boston Girls.

A Boston Correspondent Of the Cleveland
Herald says: No better city than Boston could
be chosen in which to advocate and carry into
existence the principles of dress reform, though
| fancy that New York and Chicago will find
their work more of a drag than long skirts are.
Here, although women dress well, that is, elc-
ganuy and appropriately, there is the least
real dressing" L ever saw. And have often
heard Boston ladies' remark that they never
realized how plain their wardrobes were until
they found themselves in some other city, sur
rounded by their fashionably attired sisters.
Whether this inattsntion to dress has anything
to do 18th it or not, [ cannot say, but do
know that never knew more perfectly good
lOvable, sensible women than one meets in
Boston, and the Boston girl is the most sub.
lime creature in existence, [ think.
1hs few gentlemen one meets in society here
are not superlatively agreeable, suppose it is
hard for them not to feel their great social i'm
pOrtsnce, for it would require rather a steady
headed young man of twenty-five to preserve
his equilibrium, who finds himself at an even
ing party literally surrounded by bright, char
ming girls, all ready to smile upon him, and
receive thankfully any attention he may de-
sign TO bestow upon them. And this rsminds
me of little story heard the other day.
was making morning call, and as several
other ladies' were doing the same, we met at
the house of friend, and naturally fell into
society gossip, and one of them told this:
Mrs.-had very nice niece visiting her
last winter, and as she wanted her to see some
thing Of Boston society, made party for her.
During the evening her husband went up to
two young gentlemen who we're talking tOgeth.
er, and said, want to introduce you two to
my niece.
They looked at each other in perplexed
way, as if it was rather a stupid scraps they
had got into, and then replied in chorus:
All, will you please excuse US, Mr.,
We really cannot dance with your niece, our
cards are full now, and we already have a very
large circle of young lady friends, so if you will
please excuse US, We will be greatly obliged to
you."
Then thers is that standard anecdote which
is always told to shock Western girls And show
them the woes of Eastern society girls. 1t is
true, every word OF it.
One evening at party young lady who
had been abroad a number of years, and had
come back quite a stranger to her native city,
heard the following pleasant little dialogue
going on about herself. She was sitting near
a door, and the two young men did not know
of her near presence. One said
Come let me introduce you to Miss -,
she has just returned.
Another girl u exclaimed the second
"She is very charming" urged the first.
"Well, trOt her out, responded his friend
in the despair Of snnGi So he was brought
up and introduced, and the lady had the pres.
encs of mind to eye him over, and say languid-
ly, Now trot him of.

Summers Physical Endurance.

When Mr. Sumner first came under nay care
he was suffering from arrangement OF some
nbres OF the nerves. As you all know, he had
received blow upon the head. His spine. as
ne was sitting, was bent in two places. His
bent spine had produced the effects of a sprain
and when saw him in Paris he had recovered
altogether from the first effects of the blow
lie had then two troublesome was that he
could not make use of his brain at all. He
could not read newspaper or write letter.
lie was IN fearful state. 1t seemed to him
as il his head would explode.
lie had another trouble Of the same nature
as regards external appearances, but occupying
another portion of the spine, and causing other
symptoms 1t was a sprain at the level of the
last dOrsal vertebra. The irritation there was
intense, and any motion was extremely hard.
hen he walked he had to push forward his
right foot and then his left, holding on all the
while to his back to relieve the pain.
1t had been thought that he was paralyZed
as to bis lower limbs; it had been thought that
ne had disease of the brain, and that was re-
garded as being the cause of the paralysis of
the lower limbs. Fortunately, the discovery
made with regard to the Vaso-mOtor nerves led
me at once to find that he had no disease, OF
the brain and no paralysis. He had only an

Commence" or Begin" Which ?

Richard Grant White says: No observant
reader of the literature of the day can have
failed to notice that during the last fifteen or
twenty years begin has been going rapidly ort
OF use, its place being taken by commence
Where, before, We began almost everything,
and used commence only in matters of some

most trivial matters; so that | read, the other
day, that a boy commenced to eat his ME -

but it is only within the period that | have
mentioned that commence has rushed" begin
almost out of the language.
Now commence Is word whose very pre.
sence in English is the merest superhuity.
Although it came in about FIVE hundred wears
ago, it is an intruder, and might better never
have been heard from English lips. As it is
generally used, it means simply begin" no
more, no less; and having begin which is
homs-bred English, why should we so run after
this strange Roman god commence? We gain
nothing by 1t in meaning, in sound, or even in
variety of accent. Nor do we in dignity :

His business is to observe the phenomena of

and claim the right to weep over it.
L think that the departure of begin, no
matter how, or by whom it was brought about
is to be mourned, and if that good, simple
English word can be called back it would be
well-wel for us no less than for our lana ua ge :;
because it would show that manly simplicity OF

quite died out among u.s. And | venture to

A QUEER LAwSUIT.-A funny suit against
an editor has been decided in the Circuit Curt
at Waukesha, Wis. The Fays, proprietors OF
the La Bella House at OcOnomowoc, brought
an action to recover $94O for meals and ci
gars furnished Ashley ID. lIargar, editor Of the
OconOmowoc Times Hargar, set up q counter
claim of $3.50 for "puffing' the La Bell,
House. Judgment was rendered for the plain
tiff, and Mr.. Hangar appealed to jury. The
case excited much interest, nargar being well
liked. and having solemn, earnest manner OF
making very witty remarks. He testified that
Fay would say to him: "Hagar, I've got
nice dinner to-dsy-come in. " No, thank
you, I'm going home" Fay would prevail on
him to stay, and, after dinner, the following
cOllnquy: Everything all right, Hargar p
" Everything excOllent." :" Dessert all right?"
" Excellent" Ice cream all right2" Deli.
ciOuS, Mr.. Fay" Very well. remember this
in your paper, next week In return for
dinners and cigars, Hargar says that he told
great many lly--worth more than
one thousand dDllars. He would never have
presented bill for lies had not Fay fallen out
with him and wanted pay for the dinners.
Hargar pleaded his own case. and the jury
found a verdict for him, which threw the
costs upon the hotel keepers.
