The opening games of the Ladies Outdoor Club,
Staten Island. took place yesterday afternoon. lhs
club has grown very popular during the Last year,

excellent condition, presented p.cturcfque appear

being so beautifully green after the rain on Thurs
day night and the lades' costumes making very
pretty contrast. The games consisted Of lawn
tennis, archery and croqnet, and excited much III

DIsAGREEABLE PEOPLE.-We should
bear with disagreeable people better
and generally find them more agreea-
BILE, prObably-if we were accustomed
to look on their mental infirmities with
more of the pity with which we regard
their physical deformities. We have
only commiseration for the man who is
born with club feet, or cross eyes, or
st. Vitus' dance. We do not blame
and berate him that his efforts are
crippled by such disadvantages. But
the man is just as deserving of pity who
comes into life afflicted with club
footed sense of propriety, or a cross
eyed judgment, or an epileptic temper.
At least the reflection that we might
not do near as well as he, were we in
his place, should temper our criticism
and dislike. ''You are pale,n said one
soldier to another, as they were waiting
for the enemy's attack, in a tone that
implied some question of his courage.

Presence of Mind.

Presence of mind has lately proved
valuable in several cases. Henry Kuhn,
at the bottom of Dubuque well, drove
his pickaxe into the side and stood I'M
der it when he saw the earth la
den bucket falling, thus saving him
self from being crushed. John Carey,
when lightning struck the New Haven
mill of which he was foreman, knocked
down three of the panic stricken oper-
ators, who were madly rushing toward
the narrow exit, and so prevented a
dangerous jam on the stairway. Mrs.
Dunkin, of Long Prairie, Mimi, was
threatened with an ak by her crazy son.
She said, "well, if you want to cut my
head off, let's go to the chOpping block"
He nodded, and they passed out to the
woodpile. 1t was dark, and addressing
him with, "NOw I'll put my head on the
block" she drew the white handker-
chief from her neck and threw it down
and slipped away. The lunatic struck
the handkerchief a heavy but harmless
blow. Julia Clarke, San Francisco
factory girl, was caught in a machine
by her long hair. She seized a pair of
shears and cut off her tTesses so quickly
that she was not drawn between the
wheels and killed, as she otherwise
would have been. Ten men started
down the shaft of Nevada mine in a
small skip. The donkey engine broke,
and the miners felt their vessel sink
downward with lightning speed. Death
ly fear turned every face white. In the
panic most of them clutched the skip
to wait for the crash. At the first in-
timation of disaster, Patrick Mccarthy,
the engineer at the top of the shaft,
seized heavy plank and thrust the
end between the piniOn-sbaft and the
reel, from which the cable was running
off. The drum was revolving with ter
rifle speed, and the friction produced
streams of fire and smoke. But the en-
gineer's thrust was exactly at the right
point, and the end of the board soon
checked the descent, bringing the skip
to standstill a few feet from the
bottom.

ga Worker or a Waiter. "

Under this caption the Rutland Her.
aid pitches into those college students
who act as walters at the mountain ho-
tells during the summer holidays, and
expresses in pretty strong terms its dis
approval of this crowding of the stu
dents into positions more fitted for wO-
men. For instance: "There are some
things quite as important for man to
possess as a passion for college lore,
and among these things ought to be a
repugnance for an able bodied man to
wait on anybody's table, so long as
there is any work nearer his intelligence
to be got, or, missing that, any work
that has some virility about it. If there
is wood to be cut, or coal to be shovel
led, or farm work to be done, it would
look a good deal better for these fell
lows, thirsty for learning, to be about
it, and not intrude themselves into the
occupancy of field of labor more con-
sOnant with wOman's weakness than
a mans vigor; and if a man hasn't
body enough to NOW, or chop, or saw,
or shovel, OF manage horses, why, then
he had better brace up his body and
let college life slide, for a man who
udSu u Douy ChOuSh W uO any hOlC
sturdy work than wait on table will
quite probably always be "waiting on
table" somewhere, and the world is bet
ter off without such forceless sort of
college men. God help the COM
ing generation if it's educated men are
of the caliber that could find no more
virile way to earn their way through
college than "waiting on table," The
natural wit and energy of genuine
worker will find manly work, not wo-
manish waiting, to do, and it is not
worth while educating men who, how
ever amiable they may be, have neither
the force nor the aspiration that finds,
performs and prefers the most rugged
manual labor, in absence Of better, to
any pure mental service that is always
associated with the feebler bodies of
needy women or the lOwly aspirations
of indolent, ignorant, infirm or shiftless
men. The consent of educated, intelli-
gent men to such employment in pref
erence for sturdier work excites the
suspicion that such fellows look upon
education as a help to elude hard work
hereafter, not as one means of develop
ing your capacity for hard work and
extending the sphere of it.

Public Opinion.

To our people alone, through the
earnest, patriotic work which they per-
formed so faithfully, through the en-
phatic manner in which they voiced
popular opinion at the polls, is due the
fact that we are enabled to congratulate
them upon an important success. To
them alone is due the credit that Maine
has recorded her energetic protest
against any more nonsense in finance /:
that she has sent to the rear those un-
scrupulous and misguided spirits who
have planned to gain control of our
state, that they might plunge their
hands Into its treasury, and do their
best to NEEDLE with the public credit.
10 them alone is it due that the pres
fnt position of Mainejs clearly defined !;

hesiOn to the highest and truest princi-
pies of the time, the most creditable
