A Poor Girl at SARATOGA.

A Saratoga correspondent of the New
York San writes: A young lady came into
the States parlor this morning with her
twenty-eighth dress. She has been here
fourteen days, and has displayed a fresh
toilet every morning and evening These
dresses cost on an average $l25 apiece, or
about $4,000 for the lot.
During this time her father has worn one
cheap flannel suit. costing perhaps $35.
Most of the young lady's dresses are thin
ones. They are Indian muslins, light grena.
dimes. and light silks trimmed with laces.
Many OF the dresses will never be worn
again. They are made for one days wear

considered wealthy, is in the market. She

An Exciting Event on East River.

A New York dispatch of the American
Press Association, August Is, says:
One of the most exciting scenes enacted
here for some time took place to-day, being
the passage of E. F. Harrington, superin-
tendent of construction of the E asst river
bridge, across the river on the wire rope
recently adjusted to the New York and
Brooklyn towers. The exploit was wit
messed by thousands of persons on both
made in the morning by thoroughly testing
the machinery and running gear. At 1872
p. NJ. Mr.. harrington started from the
Brooklyn anchorage, and he was soon
seen by the crowds below sitting on q
wooden seat suspended by ropes to the
wires, aud steadily ascending toward the
Brooklyn tower. The crowd below were
bresthless with excitement as he gradually
rose in midair, and when he reached the top
of the Brooklyn tower three and . half
minutes after starting ringing cheer greet.
ed him from thousands of l0okers-on ON the
Brooklyn side; at the same moment gun
was fired. At 1888 P. M. he entered the
boatswain's chair, and then the long, peril.
GUS journey across the river began. As the
traveller hung over the water the shrieks of
the saluting whistles of steam tugs, etc.,
was almost deafening.. Mr.. Harrington took
matters quite c0Olly, he swung around in
his chair, and holding on with one hand,
with the other he waved his hat, in answer
to the salutes from the depths beneath him.
When he was nearly above the centre of the
river a large three masted vessel passed di-
rectly below, having ample room between her
masts and the swinging chair. As Earring
ton neared the New York side he stood up
on his seat, regardless of danger. When
he reached the top OF the New York tower
the cheering again broke out from the dense
mass of New Workers gathered on the
wharves. roofs and tugs and other vessels.
At 1:5O P. NJ. Harrington began the ascent
on the wires from the New York tower to
the anchorage, he sat on his dangerous seat
very easily, and with great n0nchalance.
He landed at the Water street anchorage at
lisa P. NJ, amid a perfect babel of noise,
cheers, whistling of tugs, yelling, screech-
ing and confusion generally. The crowd
was 80 great that it had to be dispersed by
the police. The whole journey occupied
twenty-five minutes.

marrying beneath herself. They hoped to
make brilliant match for her, and failing
in this, she will eventually be an old maid,
and her name, instead Of figuring with the
old and aristocratic families on charity ball
investigations, will be printed among the
Sabbath school teachers in her own little
church. or may be she will manage the
moro aristocratic charity concerts which
break out in the Union League for st.
Johns Guild.
