THE SANTA CRUZ BEACH
HOW TIME Is SPENT AT THAT
NOTED RESORT.

Thirty Ladies Dressing for Two
Superannuated Beaux A San
Franciscan's Idea Of Simplicity
in Dress.
A lady who recently returned
from Santa Cruz says that the beach
there is wide and sandy, and re-
minds one of Coney Island, and that
the surf is really delightful. The
water, however, is rather cold, and
therefore robs bathing of much of its
pleasure. The bathing costumes are
rather picturesque. The ladies wear
sort Of jacket and br-br. breeches
there! it is done) made in one and
reaching to the knees, and a skirt
which falls short of the knees; some
wear stockings, while others do not.
The gentlemen wear trunks and
sleeveless jacket, and after they have
been in the water some time the
dress fits them so admirably that
they might as well appear in parts
naturalibus." The material used is
flannel. While waiting for the la
dies whom they are escorting the
gentlemen promenade on the beach
in their bathing suits.
FOUR TOILETS A DAY.
The Comstockers generally stop at
Mrs. Pope's cottage, SO that they feel
quite at home. During the season
this house has been patronized by
the Fairs, Tritles, Smiths, Mannings,
Risings, Pixleys, Deals, Israels, Miss
Nye, Mrs. Knox Brown, Mrs. Cohen
wife of the manager of the Enter
prise), Judge Lewis, Get id genus
omne." They spend their time in
the usual fashionable way. In the
morning the ladies dress for the
beach; breakfast is followed by a
stroll or drive, succeeded by a
change Of dress for lunch; after that
comes another stroll or little quiet
gossip, or lolling around in the shade
with book. Then comes the toilet
for dinner, and if there is anything
special in the evening the hour after
dinner is devoted to the evening
toilet.
SAD LACK OF FLIRTING MATERIAL.
At the beginning of the season the
flirting usually INDUCED in at water
ing places was omitted. owing to the
scarcity of the sterner sex. At Mrs.
Pope's, for instance, there were be-
tween thirty and forty ladies, and only
two gentlemen--an Invalid from San
Francisco and the village Postmaster,
beau IF some five-and-torty sum-
mers-to receive their attentions. The
ladies therefore dressed for each other,
and this state of affairs led to many
quiet bit Of fun among them, and
many discussions of the unnecessary
pains taken to make themselves pre-
sentable. 1t was during one of these
feminine gatherings that San Fran
cisco lady who spent couple of
years in Europe, and speaks nothing
but French to her children, referred
to Worth as the divine man milliner
of Paris, and, advocating simplicity
in dress, said that she would never,
no, never, again spend more than
twenty five hundred dollars on a
dress!
Later in the season the gentlemen
appeared in larger numbers, but the
ladies have nevertheless outnumbered
them throughout. The season will
close in a few weeks.

BRIEF MENTION.

A Wa8On-loau VI Dlinlng supplies,
provisions and tools passed through
town last Thursday for Como.
Mrs. George Burrier and family
are visiting in Virginia. They will
remain there couple of weeks.
At the annual meeting of the At
lantic Consolidated Mining Company,
which was held in San Francisco last
Monday, the old Board of Trustees
was re.elected, and SO was Superin-
,tendent Tom Cahill.
Jack Godfrey, of Dayton, was in
town last Thursday. He said that
the miners at Como seem to have
gone to work the right way, this
time, and that the prospects of the
district were exceedingly f1attering.
G. w. Bonynge, the redoubtable
bear and brother of the Superintend-
ent of the South Comstock, is lying
dangerously i'll in Colorado. Mr..
Bonynge {" Balaklava " has but just
returned from two years. trip to
Europe.
About one o'clock last Thursday
morning, Morris Cathcart, of Sutro,
was called out of his house by two
men named Bradley and Christie, and
very brutally beaten on the head,
neck and shoulders. His injuries are
quite dangerous. His assailants were
arrested.
Ambrose Goetz, the miner who had
the first joint of one of his thumbs
crushed by pump-column, while at
work in the Silver Hill mine, few
weeks ago, and who had the injured
member amputated last week, died
on Wednesday, of lockjaw. He left
a wife and two children.
Mr.. Banner, the senior member of
the firm of Banner Brothers, of Vir-
gina, was in town all day last
Wednesday. He said that he seemed
10 be better acquainted down here

shaking hands with somebody or
other during the whole of his stay.
General Marlette, Of the defunct

Mr.. G lard, Managing Director Of
the Kossu,h. aud to take look at
the mine.
At the meeting held at Como last
Monday, n prospector showed gold
nugget the size of large bean, and
worth about $40 or sic, which he
had found the day before. He also
had n matchbox half full Of small
gold nuggets and dust, which, he
said, he had obtained in two days
washing in ravine where there was
a small flow of water.
The London and Liverpool Mining
Company, who claim a part OF the
ground for which the American
Company have applied for patent,
filed protest in the Land Office at
Carson, a few days ago, but the pro-
test was rejected by the Register be-
cause 1t had not been filed at the
proper time. The company have APP
pealed from his decision.

A HOY Dies from HydrOphObta.

Another case of hydrophobia, max
ing the second within as many weeks,
resulted fatally at Philadelphia on
Saturday. Chas. McKeogh, 7 years OF
age, died at his parents residence, on
Cressen street near Fountain, Mana
yunk. The boy was bitten in June last
by a young hound which came up to a
crowd of children with " horn the boy
was playing. The wounds were burn
ed with caustic and stitched, and IN
a little while they healed. Although
the boy remained in delicate health,
there we're no signs of the dreaded dis
ease until last Thursday evening,
when slight pain was felt in his
wounded cheek, followed by an attack
of hiccoughs, which continued at inter-
walls during the night. The next DAY
after dinner, he was seized with chok-
ing sensations, and from that time
gradually grew worse. He had fancy
that he was surrounded by furious
dogs, swapping and snarling at Mi
! feet. He fell dead on Saturday morn
ing after being in darkened room
three days.

,itt,e Romance on Broadway.

Three pretty young girls from Jersey
City had left the ferry boat to walk up
the Elevated road, and unluckily pro-
vidsd with only one whalebone and
silk covering for their heads. The
narrow sidewalk made it most impossi.
BILE for the three to walk abreast, and
consequently one of them who was ad.
dressed as Annie received all the drip
pings of the umbrella upon her unselt.
ish head.
A gentleman walking just behind
them noticed this, and tried, IS unob,
trusively as possible, to shelter hel
with his own. For block or so she
ignored the attempt, but was finally
forced, in crossing the street, to
accept the courtesy, which she did
with an embarrassed bow. 1t happen
I'd that the youth had been we'll
brought up, and understood her fear
lest he should in any way take advan.
tags of his courtesy to ba impertinent,
and being of rather mischievous turn
of mind, he waited until he caught her
eve. as she looked shyly up, when,
assuming that "far" look SO often seen
on the faces of the deaf and dumb, he
pathe etically touched his finger to his
lips, and shook his head.
The girl looked soimmensely relieved
that he came near laughing right out;
especially when he announced that he
was speechiess she,showed she wasn't by
quietly observing to one Of her friends,
"Oh, Mary, isn't it too bad this hand
some young man is deaf and dumb"
Mary thought it was, and wondered
how he ever got along in the world, and
much to the amusement of this knight
of the umbrella, the three proceeded to
discuss him girl-fashion, and from the
color Of his eyes to the cut of his clothes
he was fully criticised, "Annie" do.
Gliding that, as husband, he would
be "sans reproche," never swearing,
never scolding, making silence golden.
When they reached the station the
three girls smiled and grimaced their
gratitude, when, to their profound hor-
ror, the youth, with a sweet smile,
raised his hat, remarking, with painful
distinctness, that he "was very happy
to have been of service" With sup
pressed shrek, the merry maids rushed
up the winding stairs, and the youth
walked on, whistling "Beautiiul lser-

A stt or New York society Life.

One night in September, 1871, the
youngest daughter Of Hon. W. M.Twesd
was 70 bs married to wealthy gentle
man, Arthur Ambrose McGinnis, Of
New Orleans, and the Princess, as she
was called, was young and beautiful
and wss one of the reigning bellies Of
New York society. Y The American clnb
in all the glory Of their diamond badges
mustered strong for the interesting occa-
sion, and there was . friendly rivalry
between its members tosse WAC would
make Tweed's favoritc daughter the
richest and most costly present. That
eminence was reserved for the Hon.
Thomas Fields, Harlem politician,
whose robberies in the city amounted in
three years to nearly three millions Of
dollars.
MIR. Fields presented aemagnifoent
diamond set, said to be worth ton taous-
and dollars, and his young and lovely
wife supplemented his present with
gift nearly as costly. II was in the flush
days of the Ring, and Mr.. Fields was
erecting palace in Harlem, which
was calculated to eclipse everything Of
the kind in the United States. This
popderous political robber, whose
weight was over three hundred, had
cast lascivious eye on the daughter of
his own sister, a young and beautiful
girl, scarcely eighteen years OF age;
he got divorce from his first wife, and
as the laws of New York forbade inces-
tuous marriages, he went over to New
Jersey, Joined tho Catholic church, and
was married in state by the bishop. At
this time his wife was one Of the most
beautiful women in America.
She was noted for her lavish and ex
travagant display of diamonds, which
Just before the crash Of the Ring were
said to amount to one hundred thousand
dollars. Liveried servants, magnificent
carriages, everything that could minis
ter to the most extravagant desire and
pride were hers. A few months after
the great wedding, the Hon. Thomas
Fields was a felon fugitive from justice,
and his beautiful wife was abandoned
for another. For a time she sustained
herself by the sale Of her jewels and
wardrobe, but after while even this
resource failed, and at last under the
great weight Of her calamity her reason
tottsred, and she finally became an in:
mate of q lunatic asylum.
Her sister, the wife Of New York
policeman, was asked to take charge Of
her affairs, and last week she asked
the court to be released from the
charge, as all her sisters property is
gone, and on Tuesday the woman who
eight years ago was the wife of mil
lionaire, and the inhabitant Of q palace,
was taken charge Of by the almshouse
commissioners, and the poor, demented,
ruined creature passed from a palace to
poorhouse. The robber who betrayed
her is fugitive thief in Canada, his
ill-gotten wealth squandered and gone,
his health shattered, his every hope
blighted, waiting impatiently for death,
yet fearing to die, longing for the sight
of his native land once more, and know
ing that it can only be purchased at
the price of fslen's doom.

Yesterday, Sabbath, as John Robin

two horses attached to buggies ano
standing in front Of hotel frightened
at the elephants and ran off, dsmolish-

fusion excited the elephants. TWO
huge monsters we're chained together,
one being particularly wild and vicious.
These fellows broke away from their
k.eper and tore through the streets,
screaming terribly and lashing and
throwing things about like hurri-
cane. Services in the churches were
brought suddenly to close and the
greatest excitement. prevailed. In
the meantime the other animals became
enraged, hyenas yelled, monkey,

A Grating Lesson for Boys.

Correspondence Of New York Tribune.
The Spring that was sixteen, with
little showing by good practical
grafter-which is the best instruc.

about twenty-five gratis, half or more
OF which grew. The first experiment
should be made on some thrifty
stocks that can we'll be spared, IL
you fail; or, you can set plenty of
gratis 80 that If not more than half
of them grow there will still be
enough. But if you do so well that
they all grow do not hesitate to cut
half OF them off or your tree will be
too thick. Parents, give your boys
chance, and let them try and If
they succeed they will always look at
and speak of their first grating with
pride. And if you are kind-hearted
you will present TO them the tree,
which will greatly encourage them.
Remember, you were once boys, and
do not call it wasting time TO make
tree that bears apples that would
make pig squeal bear any desirable
kind. The next Spring, without any
assistance whatever, ] set twenty
four apple and cherry gratis (some of
them under not very favorable cir
cumstances); twenty one of these
grew, which was about as well as
most professional grafters do, who
charge three cents each for their
gratis. Four OF these were cherry

previous Spring. Every one OF these

successful than he, with the cherry
