Camping in the AdirOndacks.
A Lady in the Chicago Times.

Atnight fresh sprinking of balsam
boughs freshen our couches, our blank
cts are taken in from their sun-baths.
a big fire sparkles and crackles at our
feet as we retire without crimping our
front !ocks.and we lie down rs il we were
mummies, five in row, but we are
within screaming distance OF eight gen
tlemen, who are similarly arranged with
another blazing fire before their camp.
One guide spends the night in keeping
the blaze brilliant. We 60 to bed with
out the usual but quite absurd custom,
III the world below us, of undressing
ourselves, consequently our labors of
the toilet are quite simple in the morn
ing. We rise shake back our hair, and
upon grand occasions we add fresh
collar and bit of ribbon. We wash
our faces and hands in the clear springs
of very cold water, and then we sit
down upon the stones to eat q luxurious
breakfast from a tin plate and pine
board. We have trout, broiled wood
cock, roasted potatoes, coffee and pan
cakes and maple sugar. Then we
loaf and loaf, and fish and fish, and
again we sleep and sleep, and then din

at parting with her trunks, was not
aware how much she was weeping for

her were upon her feet and that owing
to an excessive amount of rain

day, provided she refused to be pcrched
from morning until night upon log; or
be pumped into a hammock. The
consequence of her stockingless con-
dition has led to many a hearty laugh
aS well as to many an unconventional
and, indeed, | might as well admit, hor-
ribe performance. That is, this per-
tormance will sound horrible to ears
which are walled in by frescoes and
draperies, but up here nothing that is
necessary is nnrelined. This little
nightly episode is the washing off of the
mud from Dimpie's little hosiery. As
she cannot so stockingless to the pond
to rinse them herself, her father per-
forms this duty for her with the aid of
volunteer assistant, who is a young
man who looks as if he might be very
romantic under advantageous circum-
stances. Whatever in the world the
rinsing out of that little scarlet merino
stocking did to him do not even pre-
tend to know, but the next night he
begged to wash them both, but the pru-
dent papa refused, and handed them to
a guide. Now, here is where the solemn
part of the service comes in. The guide

,ni;s the infatuated hose-refreshing
young person to borrow these stockings
after papa's head is bust ed in issuing
tremendous shores from his couch of
hemlock, and he washes them out in
combination of water and moonlight
and hangs them upon an oybor uitm
bough to dry. Whatever the young
man discovers that is delightful in this
queer devotion only the locality and the
atmosphere can account for, and these
two mute things refuse to surrender
their secret.

New Suspension Bridge ut Niagara.
Niagara Falls Gazette.


Mr.. Benjamin Rhodes, superinten-
dent of the new suspension bridge, is
preparing drawings for two new cable
suspension bridges to connect the Clark
Hill Islands with the main Canadian
shore. Each of the proposed bridges
will be $50 feet in length, and will be
supported by wire cables resting on iron
towers. The style of the work will be
very similar to that followed in the
erection Of the new suspension bridge.
With the completion of these bridges,
and the laying out of the desired roads
around the Clark Hill Islands, con-
tinuous roadway will be secured alcng
the bank of the river, including Cedar
Island, with the Clark Hill Islands.
This scheme of connecting these islands
with the main shore by means Of two
new bridges, in addition to the present
suspension foot-bridge, is the project Of
Mr.. Sutherland Macklem, the owner of
the property.
