that the wife of the Lieutenant- general
possesses the lovelest hand and arm in
the city," and that i" the lingerie is all that
any young lady in her position might be
expected 10 possess" The Generals house
and the chamber of his wife were also the
subject of the most minute and elabor ate
description and as IL is of course every
bodys business TO know every particular
of the household arrangements, 1t was most
delightful and instructive reading. II is
an interesting speculation what Kind of
person IL is that does this work. The sense
of the universal respect with which he
would be regarded If he were known must
be a little overwhelming TO his modesty,
while nothing can easily be conceived more
satisfactory than the consciousness of be-
ing engaged in such business. Self-respect,
at least, is secured. For the man or wo-
man who goes into private house and de-
scribes the sink and the back stairs for the
wonder and delight of chamber. maids and
bar-rooms must have an elevating convic.
ton oil noble employment of which there
can be no smaller minds to deprive the

own estimate of the character of their read
ers, and their own determination to make

so eloquent, The minister of refinement
and softer civilization. In one column
they denounce with lofty patriotism the
absurditios of a moribuud arslocracy and
an efiete despotism, and in the next, to
show the universally and facility of the
American genius, they laboriously initiate
the follies they decry. "What zanies, "
exclaims the free and independent press
of America, "what inexpressible snobs,
those English people are, who have such
souls of lackeys that they actually print in
their chief news lapers and read with
GREATNESS awe that yesterday the princess

lofty Mentor informing him that young
woman married yesterday to respected
gentleman aud gallant soldier "has more

dropping bend that has such fascination
for many people," and that she has not
only "a second carriage hat" of which

but that the fortunate young woman "pos-

TURTLE FARMINo.-One of the sights at
Pleasure Bay, near Long Branch, attract
ing the attention OF most people who drive
to that near by resort, is turtle pen
wherein the ordinary small turtles-terrR-
pin-are hitched and grown for the New
York market. The pen is large, square
enclosure, with about two-thirds of the
area under water, and the rest sandy beach.
1t now contains seven thousand turtles,
and in the sand are eggs estimated to num-
Der thirty thousand. If the visitor APP
proaches silently on a sunshiny day, upon
peering cautiously over the fence he sees
an odd spectacle. The unsubmerged space
in the pen is so thickly covered with tur-
ties summing themselves that only little
OF the white sand is LEFT in sight. They
are as inert as stones unless disturbed, but
the slightest noise frightens them. Then
ludicrously grotesque scene ensues. The
turtles start in a mass for the water, and
their gait is as comical as the gambols of a
hippopotamus. They jostle each other,
stretch out their long necks, and attain a
surprising rate of speed. At the edge OF
the water they tumble in with succession
of splashes, like scattering volley, and
soon seven thousand heads are projected
above the surface. They seem to float
without exertlon, bat are lazy in their
movements. Their serpent like heads and
beadish eyes, their bodies being out OF
sight, gives the pond the appearance of a
wrlthing mass of snakes. A raft in the
center of the pond slowly becomes cover
ed, and after a while the turtles begin
slowly to return to the sand. The turtles
with which this pen was originally stock ed
were brought from Texas, but subsequent
breeding made further supply from that
sou'ce unnecessary. They lay their eggs
in the sand, where the heat of the sun suf-
fees 10 hatch them. The young turtles
are removed 10 smaller pen as soon as
they are ont Of their shells, and pool pro-
