their teens throw off their natural, girlish habit
and attire; don long skirts, shoot up their hair,
and affect the airs and dress ofyoung women,
they would often be surprised to know what their
elders really think of the improvements. One
such young miss went to the depot recently to
meet an aged friend Of the family, and was sur
prised to find herself not recognized upon greet
ing the visitor as she stepped from the car. Don't

and nose, and a general air of having played con-
siderable previous base the past ball season, drop
ped in yesterday to demand an explanation. He
states that in the account of a bail, reported in
our society column OF last week, we alluded to his
sister as a ''houri of the Fourth ward" Now, a
hOuri, he was given to understand, was a young
female chiefly attired in baggy trousers and pearl
beads, who loafed all day on a red velvet cushion,
smoking tobacco in a flower vase by means of 10
feet of gutta-percha gas pipe, and was addicted
to other habits Of a decidedly ''of" description.
Now, his sister taught Sunday school vigorously.

retract in a conspicuous part for this number he
would call later in the day with "a few of the

A RIoT AMONG LEPERs.-The great Leper Asy-
lum at Mahaica, in British Guiana, has recently
been the scene of a riotous outbreak, which
Threatened at one time to be attended with much
bloodshed and some loss Of life. Fortunately.
however, the riot was quelled, ard its only result
will be to hasten the adoption Of additional pre-
cautionary measures which the Government of
the colony has long contemplated in It's dealings
with this troublesome portion of the community.
The Mahaica Asylum is a large hospital main
taincd by the Government, for the reception of
persons, chiefly coolies, afflicted with Ieprosy,
and at the time Of the outbreak contained about
200 patients. The Government is, unfortunately
pOwerless to enforce the admission of Leprou5
subjects, or to prevent the removal OF those who,
partially cured, often leave and convoy the in
lection with them but every effort is made to
prevent Intercourse both with the outer world
and within the asylum between the sexes. In a
similar but smaller establishment in Kaow Is
land, in EssequibO, the afflicted people are no.
only entirely insulated from the rest of the world,
but the sexes are kept strictly apart; and it is
intended TO adopt this plan 10 it's entirety in the
case Of the large asylum. At present, notwith-
standing the watcbfulness of the officials, il is
impossible to prevent an occasional breach Of the
regulations by which the men and women are
kept apart, and the authorities have, now and
then, to chronicle an addition to the list Of of in
mates within the asylum. The necessary string
ency Of the rules Of the establishment, both for
the sake Of the unfortunate patients as well as for
the sake of the colony at large, has led to fire.
quent difficulties with some of the inmates; and
the ill-feeling lately eliminated in an outbreak
which taxed all the efforts Of a special body of
police to suppress. The doctor in charge of the
asylum, DR.. Hills, was attacked while on one of
his usual rounds and forcibly imprisoned in one
OF the rooms, and a leper armed with a razor kept
guard over the door, while the others fell on the
officials and servants and threatened to murder
them. Fortunately, an alarm was raised and a
large body Of police despatched to the assistance
Of the besieged officials, who had to take refuge
in the various rooms and locked themselves in.
A hand-to-hand fight ensued during which the
female patients showed even greater ferocity and
-determmatio than the men. They were, how
ever. fortunately, unable to find any dangerous
weapons and were eventually overpowered.-
