The SENSATION OF LONG BRANCH
Here comes the sensation of the Branch.
Mrs. Edward Stephens, attended by her
maid, and creating ripple of excitement
as she passes. Mrs. Stephens has been
the heroine of many letters from here,
but none of the correspondents seem to
have established her identity, CHASING
her as an efulgent daughter of Isreal.
III reality, she is the daughter-in-law Of
Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, the authoress, and
has certainly succeeded in creating gen.
uine commotion even at this abode OF
connections.
1t is at the water that she exploits her.
self. Coming down on the beach, ar
rayed in gorgeous attire, and attended
byher maid, she takes her seat in beach
chair, and holds an almost imperial
levee. She has smile, a word and a nod
for every one, and they hustle each other
for supremacy. The levee concluded,
she retires to her bath house, aud reap
pears, after while, attired in bathing
suit calculated to display her charms to
the best advantage. Her hair is ar
ranged after the latest mode, and, to-day,
She was with difficulty prevented from
going into the water with several valua-
Bile diamond rings on her fingers. The
bath over, she arises from the water like
rather demoralized Venus, and is met
by her maid who throws q picturesque
bournouse over her mistress, the hood is
pulled over her hair, and, escorted by
numerous cavaliers, she proceeds in state
to her bath-house, and the morning sem
sation is over. The other day an artist
from one of the illustrated papers made
a portrait of her for publication. The
Stephens, indeed, has a surfeit of noto-
riety, and while the women envy, the

SLOW BUT SURE.-The "slow fighter
was tall, raw-boned specimen of Pike
County breed, and when he arrived in
the mining camp the boys began to have
fun with him-to "mill him. as they
call it in the parlance of the mines.
He stood it for long time with per.
feet equanimity, until finally one of the
party dared him out of doors to fight.
He went. When they got all ready
and squared off, Pike County stretched
out his long neck and presented the tip
of his big nose temptingly close to his
tormenter: "I'm a little Slow" he said,
"and can't fight unless Pm we'll riled

"That was good 'un," he said calmly,
"but don't feel quite riled yet''-(turn-
ing the side of his head to the adversary
please chug me another lively one un:

The astonished adversary again com.
piled, whereupon Pike County, remark
ing that he was "not as we'll riled as he
would like to be, but would do the best
he could" sailed into the crowd, and fol
the next ten days the 'boys" were en-
gagged in mending broken jaws, repairing
damaged eyes and tenderly resurrecting
smashed noses.-New Orleans Democrat

PAYING THE BILL.-The following es-
innate of the cost of the Pittsburg riot by
the New York: World does; not take into
account the datnagesdone by 1osssof life
and the crippling Of 8 score Or more of
persons, nor the shattering of the social
laws or order that may bear more fruit at
any time:
"The taxpayers of Pittsburg would
have been less likely 10 allow handful
Of ruf6ans to convert their city into a
pandemoniam if they had realized the
consequences to themselves of that nights
hideous work as fully as they now will be
made to do. Eight millions of dollars is
the lowest estimate of the loss caused by
the mob, and many place it at $l0,00O,-
900. Already one pawnbroker, whose
place of business was ransacked by the
crowd, has sued to recover $4,000; a
leading lawyer notifies the city that
claims amounting 10 $156, 900 have been
entrusted to him for collection, and so it
goes. A Pittsburg paper estimates rude
ly the liability of the county at Sl13 per
voter. The total amount being funded
at FIVE per cent, with the allowance for
sinking fund, the annual levy of Pitts
burg will be increased from $500, 900 to
81 100000. In other words. for the next
twenty odd years every resident of Pitts
burg who pays taxes will have his burden
doubled, because, actively or passively,
he aided last Saturdays rioting. In &C,
cordance with the invariable rule, this
increase of the municipal burden will
fall upon thesman of last resort---the la.
borer. When the property holder has to
pay 81 900 2more9in taxes, he raises the
rent of his tenants each S100, and each
of them taxes each of his ten individual
customers 81 to reimburse himself
These things indicate the probable cost
to the people of Pittsburg of their prac.
tical course in political courage. 1t will
be expensive, but, if they learn the les
son thoroughly, it will prove to be CHEAP

TRIALS OF NEWSPAPER MEN.-One
of the greatest trials of the newspaper
profession is that its members are COM
PEELED to see more of the shame of the
world than any other profession.
Through every newspaper Office, day
after day, go all the weakness of the
world; all the revenges that. want to be
reaped; all the vanities that want to be
puAed I; all the mistakes that want to be
corrected; all the dull speakers who
want to be thought eloquent; all the
meanness that want to get its wares no.
ticed gratis in the editorial columns, in
order to save the tax of the advertising
columns; all the men wanting.to be set
right who were never right; all the
crack-brained philosophers with stories
as long as their hair, and as gloomy as
their finger nails in mourning because
bereft of soap-all the bores who come
to stay five minutes, but talk five hours.
Through the editorial and reportorial
rooms all the follies and shams of the
world are seen day after day, and the
temptation is to believe in neither God,
man nor woman. 1t is no surprise to me
that in this profession there are some
skeptical men; only wonder that jour
nalists believe anything.-De Witt zal-
ntdge.,i i5.

GRANT IN ENeLAND.-The Queen
came down stairs to receive the General, /,
as she would do to royal visitor, and if
any rudeness took place in the castle it
did not proceed from the Queen. You
had better ask how it was that an invita-
ton which was at first designed only tor
General and Mrs. Grant was afterward
made to include Minister Pierrepont and
his wife and Master Jesse Grant. You
will find, if you get to the bottom OF that
story, a very pretty specimen Of diplo-
matte maneuvring, and you will see that
if the kite takes it into its head to go up
without its tail it will pretty soon find
out that the thing can't be done. You
have evidently underrated Minister
Pierrepont's accomplishments as kites :,
tail. As for quarrels about precedence, .
the only dispute that took place was at
dinner where Gen. Grant insisted on
going down before the Duke of Cam
bridge. And this he would not have
done if his good friends who managed
him here had not egged him on. 1t is q
thousand pities that these matters should
be revived. 1 knew of them all at the
time they took place, and of many other
little incidents of which your readers do
not vet seem to have heard; but ii
seemed to me the wisest to say nothing
about them. If injustice is to be done
however, the whole truth had better be
told. and there are some Americans re-
turning to New York who can give you

Four WIDows.-At Prosperity, a
station on the Greenville and Columbia
Railroad, dwell in reach of the sound of
the whistle four widows.
No. [. This lady, as all the others, lost
her h .sband during the; war, and was left
in straitened circumstances. Did she sit
down and grieye at her fate !? By no
means. She has raised four children, be-
sides fine crops, and to-day she has much
of last years cotton and -four on hand, is
free from debt, and is able to pay cash
down for what she wants.
No. 2 looks complacent on all of her
last crop of cotton, and, with sense of
perfect rest and absolute fullness on 5000
bounds of -four, neither of which she has
sold because she had no use for the
money. The only thing which disturbs
her rest now is what to do with her new
fodder, every place being occupied with
the old. She, too, like true woman,
has raised children and set them up un-
der their own vines. and fig trees.
No. 8 struggled through the years
which have rolled on since the late un-
pleasantness, raised six children, giving
each at majority $500 in cash. Last year
she bought tract of land, for which
81 400 in good money was paid. Has
corn, fodder, and other things in abun-
dance.
No. 4, like unto the others, has made
splendid fight, and brought up large
family in the way they should go; has
of last years crops abundance, pays cash
in trade, and loans her earnings out on
interest.-Newbery Herald.

RUssIAs FIGHTING MATERIAL. The
New York Times has an article under
taking to show that although the numer-
ical superiority of Russia over Turkey is
enormous, her supply of fighting men is
comparatively small. Some facts are
given which seem to impart color to this
statement. Of 10000 men recently sent
up to Warsaw for inspection, 10000 were
rejected as unfit to serve from various
causes, not inclusive of short stature. It
has been established by sanitary COM
missions that Russia possesses fewer able
bodied men in proportion than either
France or Germany. The average dura-
ton of life, which in Britain is 40 years,
in Germany 3S, and in France 36, does
not exceed % in the healthiest parts of
Russia, while along the Volga and the
Caspian it falls as low as Is.
The annual increase of population in
European Russia is only l in rs, a fact
not difficult to credit when we remember
that the cholera sweeps the whole coun-
try every FIVE years or so, and that in
several Of the northern provinces-Nov-
gorod, for instance-83 per cent. of the
children born die in their infancy from
exposure, accident or unavoidable neg
lect. 1t is added that many districts are
unavoidably exempted from the conscrip-
ton on account of the extreme scantiness
of their population, which in some cases
averages only three to the square mile:
Besides these there are large bodies of
men in the empire whom it would be
unsafe to enroll, such as the disafected
Poles, the Mohammedan Circassians, and
the Menonites, who, like the Quakers,
have conscientious scruRlcs against fight
ing.
For generations the bad air of over
heated cabins, and the extreme cold out.
side, together with insufficient food, have
combined to render the Russians inferior
in muscular power to Englishmen and
Germans. Of late years, however, cook
ing and ventilation have not been neg
lected by the Russians; their armies are
better fed, and the unlimited flogging
which once pervailed is virtually abol-
ished. Their devotion to the Emperor is
unlimited, and has as much of the fierce
enthusiasm of the fanatic in it as the de-
votion of the Turks to the prophet. No
one can claim, however, that Russia is
equal as a military power to Germany.
