A DIssIPATED HoRsE.-A sad case of
depravity in horsefesh is reported by
the Paris Figure. The favorite horse
of certain baron fell seriously i'll, and
though every care was taken of the
animal, it rapidly grew worse, and be-
gan to show signs of sinking. AS last
recourse the coachman, an American,
suggested that two glasses of brandy
with ginger should be administered
every morning. Ike cure was most
speedy; but ever since, the horse, hav-
ing become accustomed to stand at the
door of a wine-shop to receive it's ma
tutinal beverage, now stops at every
similar establishment it passes, and last
week, angry at not having his bitters
offered him, forced himself rightthrough
the window of a liquor merchant.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.

A Nude Body Of . Man Found I'm the
Water with the Throat Cut.
Early on Tuesday evening Sergeant Hun, OF the
harb0r police boat discovered the nude body OF
an unknown young man, apparently some eign-
teen years OF age floating In the water or 144th
street, North River. On the body some marks Of
violence were discovered, such as might have been
made by coming In contact with rocks or timber
while in the water, but the fact that the remains
were perfectly nude In mid-winter gives rise to
suspicion OF something wrong. The body wa
transferred over to the custody OF the Thrty.sec-
0nd precinct police, who subsequently sent IL ia

10 TIE Editor Of Tie National RspH5IIciR:
SIR: According to promise will try to give
you some idea Of the location Of this place, its
surroundings, and how we spend our time here.
Taking the cars at the Baltimore and Potomac
depot, and passing by such thriving villages as
Falls Church, Vienna, Herndon, the ancient
town Of Leesburg, and various other places,
We at length arrived at Purcellvilie, the present
terminus OF what is called the Washington and
Ohio railroad, q point about City miles from
Washington. An easy ride Of three miles
through a rolling country, skiTted on one side
by the Elue Ridge mountains, and stretching
away as far as the eye could reach on the
other, brought US to our destination, We
found the place possessed Of everything requi-
site TO make 9 country desirable. This whole
country is full Of Washingtonians, and is be-
coming year by year a more popular summer
resort as its advantages become more gener-
ally known. Its pure, bracing mountain air
makes It a desirable residence for seekers after
health and relaxation. It is land almost lit
orally flowing with milk and honey, and
sbOunds, too in all the substantial comforts of
life. Our daily diversions are driving, walk
tDg, swinging, croquet playing, sc.
There is q gOodly company here, all pleasant
people, and all enjoying themselves in the dolce
far nieEts style which the place inspires. 1t is
as secluded as the most confirmed anchorite
could wish, and social enough to please the
gayest. The line days are mostly spent in
rambles On the hillsides or in some Of the nu-
merOus sylvan retreats, our evenings devoted
to dancing or other social amusements. Last
week we mad hop, which they called here
Grand reunion. A pavilion was erected on the
lawn, a brass and string band were in attend
ppce, and dancing was the order Of the day and
evening. At night the grounds were lit up
tyith Chinese lanterns, giving the whole place
q gay as we'll as grOLcsque appearance. The
people gathered in from miles around and en-
tered with spirit into the enjoyment Of the
affair.
II YOU wish to drop dull care and obtain q
new lease Of life coae to Yatton. Yours,
