For the benefit of our young lady read
ers we clip the following from the water
ing-plaee correspondence OF the New
York Mail:
We have once more returned to our
hotel. Last night we had hop, 50 the
parlur was given up to the ladies and
gentlemen OF the village, while the regu-
lar denizens OF the house took refuge
from the buudering JuneDugs aud gal

Minnie Mazette and Nellie Sansargent
being off duty for the evening, nave
1oined forces, and with arms intertWined
are enjoying perambulatory tete.d tete
whereon no male mortal has Tue pre-
sumption to intrude. AS they pass and
reDass our station we hear dlSJOinted
fragments of their talk.
"Haven't you ly? thought every
one mad been TO Niagara. You ought to
80. The falls are SO NICE"
Their voices die away in the distance.
Now they are coming back again.
"How do you like Mr.. Jacchus, Nelly?
l know people laugh at him, but think
he's sorper nice, don't youW
0SorLer" is, we would explain, an un.
transiatable youngladyism. Again they
pass us.

have got Oh the Rougelionne-Centlivres
affair. They think that Mrs. RougeIi-
onne was awful, and that the way Mrs.
Milleileurs acted that night was real
nice. And so they go on. We laziiy
amuse ourselves by wondering if they
will use any qualifying term whatever
beside mice" and "awlul." A long eX
perience of the language OF young LADY,
dom leads lis to believe that they viii
not. We are confirmed in that belief.
Every time they pass we hear one oil
those two adjectives, but we listen in
vain for any other. One might well be.
iieye that .'nice' and lawful exhausted
the descriptive resources OF the English
language.
1t is evident that young ladydom has a
vocabulary OF its own, III which there are
to be found but two adjectives--"nice'
defined by every laudatory, and ''awtup'
including the meaning Of every condem-
natory term in Websteps dictloiNry.
The gllls leave the piazza, and we
light a fresh cigar, and iali into a train
Of pathological musing. We declare TO

have young ladies' talk like books; we
would not be at all pleased to have tAe
girl of the period transmuted into a
walking Roget's Thes Aurus; but we
would like her to make an effort to
throw off this lingual laziness, that
leads her to designate Niagara, the Sis.

Probably the most exciting game that
was ever played in the vicinity Of Gin
cinnati was played yesterday afternoon
on the Star grounds in Covington, be-
tween the new Red Stockings and the
Covington Stars. The game was not
brilliant in itself, many and Yerv stupid
errors having been made upon both
sides, but the earnestness OF the play ers
overbalanclng the errors, made the game
Of unusual interest. The game at the
end Of the ninth inning stood 5 to s.; the
tenth inning was then played, the elev-
enth, and finally the twelfth, without
any change in the score, neither side get
ting around to the home plate. Finally
darkness came to the rescue of the ex-
hausted players, and the impartial (?)
umpire was compelled to eal the game,
the score standing 5 to in twelve in
nings. The score in full was as follows

Our plan is simply this: If the base

otherwise making it, il possible, under
the staircase-hall. We have it carefully
cleansed, whitewashed, aud purified.
We jealously isolate it from any illicit
communication with the usually damp
and fusty atmosphere OF ordinary base
ment premises, but give to IL an ample
communication with the outer air, being
careful that the supply is drawn from un-

The theory of the Rupert drops is, that

ing dropped into cold water, expansion
is checked by reason of hard skin. be-

FROM recent reports Of the condition
Of things in Iceland, it looks as If that
part Of its population who are making
arrangements to remove to Alaska have
made wise determination. The erup-
,tion of March 20 destroyed large per.
tion OF the arabic land of the island, and
the work of destruction has been going
on since at such rate that the people
can not but comprehend that the days of
the island as habitation for man are
drawing to close. A large portion OF
the land that was five months ago the
best grass-growing section of the island
was ruined by the eruption, and with th e
source of food for the herds thus cut
off, the people will find themselves with
out the means procuring the staple ar
licle of their tables. With more than
half the productive part of the island al
ready laid desolate, the residue will be
severely taxed to meet the most abso-
lutte wants of the people, and when we
add to this the possibility of another
Eruption at any time, Iceland has surely
lost most OF its charms, even tor hel
hardy and patriotic children, who, but a
lew months ago, with 80 much pride,
celebrated the end of the thousandth
year OF her existence.

THERE are people living far enough
West TO know how such things are done
who believe that the late Indian scare
at Corinne was mere canard, concocted
for the purpose of exciting as much feel
ing as possible against the Mormons
during the trial OF the Mountain Meadow
murdarers, and for the purpose of ad-
vertising the settlement of Corinne. 1t
may be so, but it does not strike the un-
sophisticated that such aa advertise
ment would be likely to draw settlers to

Idle, the consequence is that the stock on
hand has become so greatly reduced chat
the demand is causing resumption of
manufacture. With it comes q gradual
putting into circulation Of the funds SO
long idle. The iron manufacturing inter-
ests have especially suffered, and the
iron and coal men have, perhaps, been
among the heaviest losers by the sus-
pension of business. The renewing
activity is, however, beginning to be.
felt in this line, and business men in
these branches are looking confidently
forward to good business and
good times for their employees. AL
ready some of the manufacturers of
machinery and implements, in this
city, are running .on double time
and employing every possible facility
which has been almost unknown for the
pasttw years, has gradually begun to
resume, and many of the roads are re-
placing their iron rails with those OF
steel. This is certain to create an
activity in one of the departments of la
Dor suffering most, and the long contin-
ued idleness in the coal mining regions,
coupled with the demand which will
naturally follow, must make labor for
the miners at more profitable figures.
Even the lumber trade is reported grad
ually reviving, and the prospects good
for its immediate future. Aside from
the coal, iron and lumber interests, the
people are not, as general rule, out OF
employment or suffering for work, and
this is particularly shown by the the fact
that the imitation dodge is mostly talked
to the people in the iron and coal regions,
and not to those in the agricultural dis.
lricts, or in places where employment is
to be had. There seems to be no reason
why we may not confidently expect re.
turn OF prosperity at all early day.

THE class of people who are prone
10 look on the dark side are, many OF
.hem, inclined to the opinion that the
financial panic Of 1878 will, like that o.
1887, continue to seriously affect the
country for a period of six or eight years,
and that there is little hope of better
times for two or three or even four OF
i've years yet. While the panic OF 1878
was, in some particulars, as distressing
rs that of 1887, and while some OF the
causes were of similar nature, the sur
toundings are SO eminently different that
there seems no reason to believe that the
length Of time required for a complete
recovery will be so great, or the work OF
feviving now going ON so gradual as in
that ease. The facilities for transporta-
lion and communication are much great
er now, and the wealth which the agri-
cultural regions afford is more rapidly
transported to the consuming centers
Hnd, if need be, to foreign countries,
and thus converted into money. The
manufacturing facilities OF the country
are much superior to those Of 1887, and
are mills by which the ready cash
may be promptly ground out
at the first notice of demand.
Panics are usually caused by
an over expansion of credit and an over
production Of the results Of industry.
when the first gives way and the second
fs drug in the market by reason Of an
over supply, the experience OF the past
two years is certain to follow In greater
or less degree. After such experience
follows a gradual. resumption Of conf
denee and activity dependent for its
,rapidity OF growth upon the surrounding
circumstances. These circumstances IN
the present case seem now unusually
lfayorsble. The agricultural products of
the country are plenteous and the de.
mand, thatImportant requisite in making
the supply OF immediate use, is good and
IL likely to continue SO. The reports
from Europe as alluded to yesterday
show that the crop there, which has been
generally acknowledged short, is even
,ofa poorer quality than was expected.
PThe consequence win be foreign demand
Sufficient to give US good prices and to
fairly start into active circulation
the sluggish blood Of the country. AS
suggested above, the present facilities
for conveying information and for trans.
.portation Of grain make the direct effects
lOf demand and OF good prices much
more rapidly felt at the present period
tfhan fn 1887, and will cause the demand
,nade upon the agricultural resources o
fhis country, and the consequent re
ceipts, to aid in rapid return to pros
porous times. Beside this, the manu-
tactured goods with which the panic o

York while admitting that a number OF
bad cases have lately occurred, says
crime is not on the increase in that city.
He also says the chief difficulty with
which the police have to contend in the

of petty politicians. What he says of
