A Young Woman Assaulted and Eatiiy
scared.
Monday night, about half past 10 o'clock
tho guests of the Vermont house near the
foot of Vermont avenue, Atlantic city,
were startled by screams proceeding from
the beach. A number of young men ran
down, and, about half way between the
board walk and the waters edge. were
met by young woman of about twenty,
staggering toward them and ringing her
hands and shrieking. She said she had
left the Hotel Albion short time before in
company with young man, whom she
had known for some time and who she
thought was gentleman, to walk on the
beach. After strolling for some time, it
being very dark and the beach being de-
serted, she suggested to her escort that
they return home, when he detained her
aud attempted an outrageous assault.
When the crowd had reached the beach
the young man, whose name she would
not reveal, had run away. The young
woman's clothing was torn and hair dis
heveled. She was so nnnerved that she
had to be almost carried to the hotel.

Set Free.

Entering by chance an upper unused room,
That looked upon q noisy city street,
Ere sight could penetrate lie dusty gloom,
hear a sound OF insect wings that beat
And nuitered wildly on the window pane;
Then paused worn out then beat and ssrovo

Searching, found a regal butterfly,
All golden-russet, barred with velvet black,
Prisoned in sight Of freedom, trees and sky.
Its bruised wings now wide spread now folded

Caught 'twixt an outor and an inner frame,

There was also an English vessel in the

natives gave grand dance in honor of

and weird. All the foreigners were
arranged in a circle, and in the middle
sat crowd of native girls. The French
band struck up, and the girls,
rising with wreath of flowers in each
hand, advanced toward the strangers,
singing in their native language. After

very short interval the native men
stepped in the aiecle and danced the
Kanaka war dance. The wild cortOr-
tions and movements of the native, the
dim light from the candles, the gay col

flowers scattered around made up
very picturesque scene. The dance
took place about two mil out OF

A Savage Still.

There is capital story in FrGSer's
Magazine illustrative of the almost
irresistible tendency of the civilized
savage to revert to the customs of his
ancestors. The Basuto chief Rantzani,
a nephew of Mosheth, had been con-
verted to civilization, education,
breeches, coats and collars. He was a
professed Christian, and dressed as a
Kafir or London dandy accustomed to
good society might be expected to dress.
This had been. his mode of life for
years. But one day an event hap
pened. He was discoursing huently
and eloquently to meeting on the
importance and happiness of peace, and
of regular life of labor, and of school
aud church attendance. He was
fashionably dressed and as he spoke
his paper collar irritated his neck. He
tried to put it right, but the buttonhole
broke. Then suddenly the long re.
pressed savage broke forth. Tearing
of the collar, he changed altogether
the current of his speech. "I am tired
of this imposture. A something arises
within me it springs upon me now ;
it tells me 1 am talking nonsense.
Away with this spurious civilization p
He tore off coat, vest, and breeches
until he stood forth the totally I'M
adorned savage. Then he set fire to
the school in which he had been lectur-
ing, and departed; and has since
lived his old life. If Rantzani's collar
had been but little stronger, he
might at this moment be a model Of
civilized respectability.- Christian al

Mammoth Footprints.

The Virginia City Chronicle says that
since Professor LIE Conte visited the
State Prison at Carson to examine the
fossil tracks on the floor of the quarry,
Warden Garrard has developed three
additional series of human footprints.
He turned stream of water on the
quarry floor. at the western side, where
the walls are about thirty feet high,
and was rewarded by more than doz-
en- footprints. Coming west are the
prints of the feet of q man who was APP
parently dragging heavy load after
him through the mud. The tracks are
turned sideways, as if the man had
sought the strongest purchase to pull
along behind him his load. Even in
the smallest of the tracks the No. 9 of
the Chronicle reporter looked like a
baby shoe. On the east side of the quar-
ry little tunnel was run in about six
feet in the presence of Professor LIE
Conte, and three fresh human foot
prints were disclosed. Evidently the
owner of the feet was plunging through
deep and thick mud, for around each
track was forced up a ridge several in
ches in height.

The Musket's Persnasiyeness.

General Sleedman tells good story
which is applicable to the manner in
which the ariStocratic SiXtieth Rifles re-
gently skipped out in front of Ramleh,
and gave everything up to the Egyptians.
While near Nashville the general had
negro regiment on the picket line, and II
bright young mulatto sergeant in com
mand of n post got the drop on Il rebel
post and captured the whole outfit. The
rebels were crowd of housekeeping
young Virginans. and some of them
were badly wrought up by the hca of
having To surrender To Il "lot of mig
gers" General Steednan took their

tent, extended some little courtesies to
him, and in the course of the CONVERSE

''Well, General said the other. setting
down his glass, "Ive been in the army
now nearly four years, and if I've
learned any thing it has been pro-
found respect for the musket. When
the muzzle is showed into my face,
don't usually ask any questions as to
who's got hold of the breech."
General Sherman tells nearly rs good
a story, in his book. He was standing
on the sidewalk in st. Louis when Gen
eral Lyon went out with his men to at
tack the secessionists at Camp Jackson.
A young lady of General Sherman's &C
quaintance- daughter of one of the most
aristocratic families in the city-was
standing on stoop near by, wringing her
hands and crying. She said her brothers,
cousins, and anumberof acquaintance,
were in camp Jackson, and she was
certain they would all be killed, for they
were proud, high-spirited men, belong
ing to the best families in the city, and
they would die before they would yield.
General Sherman tried to console her
by saying that he had noticed that sons
of frst-class families were usually not
any more willing to die than other peo-
pie. He continued his walk, and in
little while met General Lyon returned
with the entire force at Camp Jackson,
which had surrendered without firing a
gun. He FASTENED back to comfort the
young lady with news of her kinsmen's
safety, but after she heard it she
slammed the door in his face.

A Family of Monkeys.

Hindoos do not hurry themselves in
anything they do, but the monkeys
have lots of time to spare and plenty of
patience, and in the end, after the crow
has stolen little, and the dog had its
morsel, and the children are all salts
fed, the poor fragments of the meal are
thrown out on the ground for the blum
der-logue, the monkey people; and it
is soon discussed-the mother feeding
the baby before she eats herself. When
every house thus, in turn, has been Wis
tied, and no chance of further "out-
door relief remains, the monkeys go
off to the well. The women are all
here again, drawing the water for the
day, and the monkeys sit and wait, the
old ones in front, contentious and seri-
Gus, and the youngsters rolling about in
the dust behind them, till at last some
girls see the creatures waiting, and, lin
the name of rain" spill 10th full of
water in hollow OF the ground, and
the monkeys come round it in circle
and stoop down and drink, with their
tails all curled up over their backs like
notes of Interrogation. There Is no con-
tention or jostling. A forward child

Husband Hunting.

The seasons husband fishery at the
summer resorts, says the Philadelphia
Times, is generally reported failure.
One reason why the fishery failed was
because the bait was too gorgeous.
While it compelled admiration, it daz-
zled those who admired it. Its glitter
was too beautiful, but glance at it was
enough to drive the poor fellows away
escape. While palmer and less expensive
girls meet their mates, the elegantly
overdressed lady remains solitary.
If the girl who is fishing for husband
makes any mistake it is that of thinking
that the young man who is looking for
wife wants costly piece of goods for
show. Some young men want this, but
there are few who can afford it, and
even those who can are in many jim.
stances afraid to yoke themselves to il.
They know that a too snowy young
woman, even if she has wealthy parents,
is apt to be full of troublesome whims
and notions very difficult to satisfy.
Even if they be so sordid that they
would like to marry for money, these
young men know enough to reflect that
riches sometimes take wings and go out
of sight. They stop and consider that
if there be wealth and whims, when the
wealth flies away and leaves nothing
but whims, the residue is an exceeding
ly undesirable piece of finery.
Every summer there is a complaint OF
the lack of young men at the watering
places. This year the complaints louder
than ever. One of the reasons is that
the extravagant display made by some
of the girls frightens them away. They
cannot afford such expensive luxuries as
these girls appear to be. They go fish
ing, or hunting, or boating by them
selves, or take long pedestrian tours out
of the reach of the girls. The girls
meanwhile sit on the fashionable hotel
porticos with their papas and mammas,
and lament and wonder.
The girl who lets nature take its
course; who avoids putting herself on
exhibition as if for sale; who makes no
more display than is consistent with
gracefulness, beauty and good common
sense, is reasonably sure of one of two
things. Either she will make delight
full wife for some sensible and worthy
man, or she will turn out happy and
lovely old maid Better be nice spin
ster than an unloved wife, married for
money or show.
