THE DANCE OF DEATH.

About year ago book was Publi-hsd
under the above title that was violent
philippe against the Waltz. Uniorsu-
nately Tor the author, his views were
painted in such coiors that they savore:
more Of depraved mind than carrying
any wholesome aud moral convictions
against the dance. and Of the two, the in
diligence of the Waltz is infinitely TO be
preferred to perussl If the book. Instead
Of any reform being accomplished. the
harmless Waltz has been superseded by
the introduction OF something that il pro
nounced "Awiul--nice" Ii Is thus de-
scribed BY an eastern writer:
THAT dreadful round-dance, the new
hug-and jump waltz, Is making an innocent
blush all over New York. The posture
could not be wore. The gentleman stands
directly in front Of the lady, puts his right
arm clear around her and hugs her IS close
As bear could hug . tree. Thus melted
into each Others arms, they go hopping
around the room like q sawmiil gate. The
fellows like it. They say that they never
yet have had dance where they could
hug girl absolutely close-wheEe they
could put on the aim pressure and bring
her 40 close that they could feel her heart
beat against their vests. II Mrs. General
sherman were in New York nov she would
60 crazy. Country people who are not
accustomed to such wholesale squeezing
and hugging, actually blush with shame,
and delicate ladies hang their heads and
turn their eyes away. Still, say, it is
lovely for the hoy. What could be more
pleasant than 10 put your arms around
twenty beautiful young ladies in IN even
ing. bringing their blushing faces to touch
yours. and squeeze them tight while their
throbbing bosoms press against your hear,

the situation but feebly, and the con-

Well, the same old discussion will again
come up, and the question whether it is
meet and right for woman to bedraggle her

argued pro and con, TO the discomfort Of

She came, saw, conquered and was offered
$4,000 for the trick. She accepted and

that women have show in this enlightened

OF the best in Clarke County. The old bridge
had been dangerous for loaded teams fort
some time, and there was no ford at that
point, so the Improvement became doubly
necessary.
